<br>Entain, the [gaming giant](http://www.annunciogratis.net/author/chetp33795) which owns Ladbrokes, is to repay ₤ 44m of the furlough money it claimed during the pandemic, but keep ₤ 57.5 m.<br> |

<br>[Carolyn Harris](https://airplayradio.com/claribelmcleay) MP called it "absolutely shameful" that Entain was not repaying everything, regardless of [skyrocketing revenues](http://git.oksei.ru/evieway245348).<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) |

<br>In reaction to a [BBC Newspaper](https://voicync.com/alisondowler42) article in January, MPs got in touch with Entain to repay the cash it had actually gotten under the furlough plan, with previous Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan [Smith stating](https://x.com/YohaigNG/status/1845872747924123782) the company should "right away hand the cash back to the UK taxpayer".<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig) |
