The end of a brilliant 2 day workshop, finalising the recommendations for The Lancet Public Health Commission on gambling- coming in 2024! Thanks to @TheLancetPH for hosting and our amazing commissioners for flying in to make it happen.

Brilliant critique of 'responsible gambling' paradigm from @CLjeSuppose in new edition of criticalgamblingstudies.com/…. Purpose of RG's is 'to veil power in a smokescreen of apparent beneficence and concern, without demonstrating any such attributes'
Delighted to be involved in this sociological study of #CDoH in sports #gambling . Thanks to a great team and @robinHEG for leading us!
New qualitative study into unhealthy sports sponsorship in the Premier League: doi.org/10.1080/17430437.202…. Thanks to fellow authors: @Chris_Bunn @DrStephChambers @GerdaReith and thanks also @UofGSPS @UofGSHW . “Well, you have to say … morality in football is not a high priority”.
