| By Daniel O Boyle
Great Britain’s regulator, the Gambling Commission, has created a permanent Lived Experience Advisory Panel, made up of people “with a wide-range of lived experience of gambling harms, including people affected by someone else’s gambling”.
The advisory panel will meet for the first time this week. Among the topics that it will inform on will be the review of the 2005 Gambling Act, which launched in December 2020.
“We are pleased that the Gambling Commission has recognised the importance of listening to people who have been harmed by gambling and welcome their real commitment to ensuring that this can happen,” a panel spokesperson said.

THIS magnificent miners banner dating from the 1890 s and still regularly on display at Beamish Museum, County Durham, is living proof that Robert Burns values of egalitarianism and radicalism were appreciated outside his native Scotland - even in the days before the internet turned the Bard into a worldwide icon. The Lambton lodge banner - made in the North East of England by SM Peacock of South Shields and featuring the 1787 Alexander Nasmyth portrait of Burns and an image of his Alloway birthplace - is one of three Durham miners banners of the time to honour the ploughman poet . However only the giant 10ft x 9ft one (above) is still in existence.
