It means that Putin’s troops are now losing ground in three out of the four Ukrainian regions he annexed last week – declaring that any attack on them would be considered an attack on Russia and may trigger a nuclear response.

England legend Peter Shilton has condemned the EFL gambling deal which saw clubs make profits from their own fans’ gambling losses, as Forest Green Rovers owner Dale Vince called on football to kick its gambling habit for good.

In a statement, Twitch said it would no longer allow the «streaming of gambling sites that include slots, roulette, or dice games.» That list of sites is currently limited to Stake.com, Rollbit.com, Duelbits.com and Roobet.com but could expand as Twitch continues to investigate. The ban is set to go into effect on Oct. 18. 

«We have in black and white some damning findings about how this company has operated, how they dealt with the regulator, and their obligations to act in the public interest clearly were not taken seriously,» she told reporters on Thursday.

Putin now appears to have largely given up on his plans to advance and is instead digging in his heels and Pkvgames trying to hold on to territory he has already taken in the hopes of playing off the war to the Russian people as a success.

«The two Star casinos presently carrying on business in Queensland (Star Gold Coast and Treasury Brisbane) have been operated in a way that is inconsistent with the achievement of the objectives of the Casino Control Act,» the report said.

«As a consequence, some of the business that was drawn in placed the casinos at real jeopardy of infiltration by persons whom The Star had reason to suspect were likely to have been involved in criminality,» Mr Gotterson wrote.

Tensions between the Government and the Bank of England were mounting over Ms Truss’s conference pledge to cut EU red tape and recriminations over the Bank’s £65 billion support for Pkv games the markets following Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-Budget.

Twitch said Tuesday it will remove high-profile gambling sites from the Amazon-owned streaming platform after a number of high-profile streamers like Pokimane, Mizkif and Devin Nash threatened a boycott of Twitch during peak traffic periods.

Ukraine then launched two counter-attacks in Kherson and Kharkiv in August, the first of which is making slow but steady progress and the second of which achieved a major breakthrough that has placed Russia on the back foot.

Gambling has long been an issue on Twitch. Many streamers openly promote gambling sites to their young audiences. Earlier this week, a streamer named Sliker admitted to scamming over $200,000 to fund a gambling addiction that began with Sliker using Counter-Strike «skins» to place bets. Since skins — in-game outfits, essentially — have monetary value, many third-party sites allow users to place bets on professional Counter Strike matches using these skins.

Writing in The Mail on Sunday, the former Culture Secretary outlines a ‘desperate’ plan for Ms Truss to ‘reverse the self-harm Conservative MPs have inflicted upon our party’ – and says bluntly: ‘Michael’s days are over.’

So this scheme seems quite egregious but I’m not sure it’s any different to taking the corporate shilling of a gambling company and sticking their brand in front of their fans to encourage loss-making activity.

Shilton, who won 125 caps for England, captained his country and won two European Cups and the league title with Nottingham Forest, spent much of his life battling a gambling addiction and now campaigns against the saturation of gambling ads in football.

A senior No 10 source hit back, saying: ‘Our lot need to get behind Liz or they’ll end up with the nightmare coalition of Labour and the SNP, which would break up the country and send it down the drain.

The Prime Minister is considering boosting party unity by offering the vacant job of International Trade Minister to a former backer of Rishi Sunak who has demonstrated loyalty to Ms Truss, although no candidate has yet been suggested.

«Gambling content on Twitch has been a big topic of discussion in the community, and something we’ve been actively reviewing since our last policy update in this area,» Twitch said. «While we prohibit sharing links or referral codes to all sites that include slots, roulette or dice games, we’ve seen some people circumvent those rules and expose our community to potential harm.»

Shilton said: ‘I’ve said for quite a while that football has an unhealthy relationship with gambling in terms of sponsorship. It seem football clubs were taking the money instead of looking after their fans. 

But a friend of Mr Gove said: ‘He made clear his opposition to scrapping the 45p tax rate, which he had already told his whip. It is heartening that the PM now agrees that the cut is the wrong priority.

Labour MP Carolyn Harris, who co-chairs a cross-party parliamentary group examining gambling-related harm, added: ‘This appears to be proof that football clubs are exploiting their own fans, some of whom will be gambling addicts, by taking a cut of every penny they lose to greedy bookmakers.’
