Lisa Nandy recorded saying gambling 'brings joy' in Hansard, donor links noted

On 17 October 2024 Lisa Nandy told the House of Commons that gambling 'brings joy to a lot of people', a remark recorded in Hansard. Stuart Roden, a racehorse owner who co-founded Hetz Ventures with an Israeli special forces veteran and a senior Conservative, has donated about £500,000 to Labour for the 2024 election, making him one of Labour’s top election donors. Green MP Hannah Spencer said Labour ministers 'continuously offend people' by suggesting working-class people do not care about dogs amid debate over greyhound racing.
