The Cabinet minister said he would put a wager on seats that are ‘too close to call’ as the Tory gambling controversy rumbles on.
A Cabinet minister has said he would place bets on “individual seats” as he has done in the past if he were “allowed to bet on the election”.
He told Times Radio: “If I was allowed to bet on the election, I would do what I have done in the past which is have bets on individual seats that are what you would be calling too close to call because you know I quite fancied that, like my £1 bet at the beginning of a week on the multiplier for five wins on the football at the weekend.”
It emerged on another difficult weekend for the Tories that Nick Mason, the party’s head of data, is taking a leave of absence after being told he was being investigated by the Gambling Commission – joining the Conservatives’ director of campaigning and two parliamentary candidates in the regulator’s inquiry into bets on the timing of the poll.
