of the budget, it emerged that the new policy would be introduced in october next year — not april, as many had expected. in her resignation letter to the prime minister, ms crouch said... "from the time of the announcement to reduce stakes and its implementation, over £1.6 billion will be lost on these machines. two people will tragically take their lives every day due to gambling related problems." there are considerations to be made about the livelihoods of those who work in betting shops, and it's perfectly proper for the government to consider those, too. if we did what the betting companies wanted, this change would not be made at all. tonight, many of tracey crouch‘s colleagues, political opponents and even the archbishop of canterbury were praising her for sticking to her principles. the resignation of one minister isn't a huge blow to theresa may, but the fact that tracey crouch resigned because she felt her

government wasn't doing enough to help vulnerable people is not a message that the prime minister wants to hear, and it doesn't end there. there is likely to be a vote on this issue in the coming weeks, and the government cannot be confident of victory. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. is always, much more at all stories on our website. mike issue at two o'clock. but now it is time for sport today. season. hello, i'm chetan pathak and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme... united in grief. leicester's premier league winning manager returns to pay his respects to the club's owner, whilst the current boss says they'll
