Sir Keir Starmer swipes Rishi Sunak was 'bullied' into taking action on election gambling scandal as they debate for a final time ahead of the election. This comes as it emerges Tory candidate put an £8k bet on himself to lose his seat next week.
Rishi Sunak's chief of staff has been interviewed as a witness by the gambling regulator as part of the row over alleged bets on the timing of the general election, it has emerged.
An update by the Metropolitan Police and Gambling Commission said at least seven officers from the capital's force are being investigated. Five Conservatives have also been caught up in the inquiry, with reports suggesting the figure could be 15 parliamentary candidates and officials, although the gambling watchdog has not confirmed the numbers involved.
During a campaign visit in Derbyshire yesterday, Mr Sunak was repeatedly asked whether he had confided in Mr Williams ahead of his surprise announcement of a summer election. The Tories have also withdrawn support from Bristol North West candidate Laura Saunders whose husband, Tony Lee, the Conservative Party's director of campaigning, has taken a leave of absence, as has Tory chief data officer Nick Mason.
