Have William Hill misunderstood what Graham said or have the Telegraph worded it in a confusing way?
Nope it was 22 betting shops..as usual Jones has jumped on a bandwagon based on incorrect information supplied to him from the fairer gambling campaign.

Graham Jones MP: Hyndburns Fixed Odds Betting Terminals; The Crack Cocaine of Gambling

Its so very typical of him to leap before he looks...guess he doesn't know the postcodes used in his own constituency. Also notice how only positive comments from the LT are shown on his website, and how most of his researchers quotes backing his statement come from the Daily Mail....

Love how our Ken posts his standard 'Graham is right' and calls his electorate 'armchair critics'.

Can the labour party please put someone electable forward at the next election
