On the campaign trail today, Sky News’ deputy political editor Sam Coates asked the PM: “Did you tell Craig Williams, a man you said you were with almost every minute of every day, the date of the election before he put the bet on?”
“We’ve suspended candidates. You’ll recognise, whilst there are ongoing independent investigations ... it’s just not right for me to say anything more about that.“But, if anyone has broken the rules, of course they should face the full consequences of the law and I’ll ensure that they’re booted out of the party.”
The PM replied: “No it’s absolutely not right, while there are independent investigations that those aren’t compromised in any way, shape or form.” Coates then hit back: “That is not true, you can only prejudice a jury trial. You know the answer of whether you told Craig Williams - yes or no?”Talking over the journalist, Sunak said: “We have done internal inquiries of our own, and as a result of those we have suspended candidates.
