- A leading Conservative campaign aide and two parliamentary candidates are now being investigated by the gambling watchdog - over alleged betting on the general election date.
The latest probe involves Conservative director of campaigning Tony Lee - who's taken a leave of absence - and his wife Laura Saunders. Labour and the Lib Dems have called for her to be suspended. Even cabinet minister Michael Gove admitted the situation didn't "look great".

Still grabbing every last penny they can get their grubby little hands on right to the end, typical greedy Tories.

What this country needs is more unemployed POLITICIANS 🤬🤬🤬
Specifically Tory ones.
Why has the police officer been arrested, and the others are still free! One rule for one, one rule for the tory elite, as usual.
He's a copper, given the state of The MET, they've had to.
Very true ,That why we need to rid ourselves of the most destructive Government in history . ,thinking only of there own self interests in everyway possible.
Corrupt to the very end
If this was in Nigeria, they will call it corruption.
Bring back rent controls and rent officers.
And council housing
Christ, these are despicable people!
one mp is too many for the Tories
How many of their Mates and family got the heads up to bet on July election. This needs police investigation into who placed bets for July election and if they have links with government
The bookies will be keen to help, especially with the massive rise in the amount of cash placed on 21st May, the day before Sunak announced the date of the election.
All bookmakers should insist on identification when these wagers are paid, a lot would have tendered CASH so they could not be traced , this is only the tip there are many more involved, NAME THEM AND SHAME THEM
Couldn't be a more literal example of Tory attitude in general. Using public position for personal gain.
Thing is, it'd be fine if it was a bet between friends. But the sheer casual arrogance of going down the betting office is a perfect symbol of Tory arrogance.
Tories love reporting to police report them all.
And labour told the police to not investigate the child rape squad grooming gangs. report them all,
Thieving right up to the very end.
Protecting the child rape squad grooming gangs right up to the very end..
They're all trying to make ££ before losing their jobs.

Can’t take credit for inflation being low when you blamed external factors for making it high in the first place
Also inflation is set to rise, and you lot know this and that’s why you called an election so you can say “look how good we are” and then when it does rise again, up to around 3% you’re going to then say “look how bad Labour are”
This.
You're spot on, mate. The inflation is all because of how countries handled Covid. They took credit for the furlough scheme, which caused high inflation, and now they're saying they hit their target. Like if it was to do with any of their actions when it's coming down but external factors were to blame for the rise of it.
This conservative gambling scandal is amazing. One couldn't make it up.
Looks like they backed the wrong horse!
One last chance to make a quick buck through influence and insider information.
At least we can be grateful it was their own money they were gambling with now they've gambled all ours away on their insane brexit, the Rwanda fiasco, PPE unfit for purpose, Truss' mini budget & all the other catastrophes over the past 14 years.
Don't be so sure.
They could have claimed it as an expense
They weren't gambling their own money if they knew the election date, they weren't gambling at all, that is kind of the point
It was probably ours originally.
@@happyjack9570 However they got it you can guarantee they didn't get it through doing a hard day's work like the rest of have to.
Gove whistling past the graveyard.
Tories. They just can’t help themselves. They see a grift and start drooling.
Her 'cooperation' will be saying the words 'no comment' to each and every question they ask her and her partner
She was cleared of any wrong doing
None of those betting have not denied it, so 'presumed innocent' does not stand. It is very noticeable that Labour, as quickly as possible, suspends anyone buggering about.
And parachutes a labour friends of israel lobbyist into their seats LOL
That's not how it works. First is investigation, then arrest, then charge, then a couple of months later you enter a plea. The MP's are being investigated, the policeman has been arrested. It's clear they don't have a leg to stand on but innocent until proven guilty is a vital British value. Yet people seem to forget what it means.
They actively hid the child rape squad grooming gangs, was gordon brown suspended when he was buggering about saying the children that had been gang raped made a ``lifestyle choice``. they hid the child gang raping pervert labour voters as quickly as possible...
Not going to fly in Brighton, were a bunch of contrarians. Everyone I've talked to is voting Green in Kemp Town. Sacking our well liked local MP, was a really bad move.
Suspends anyway who criticises their masters in Tel Avi you mean.
Corrupt to the core ..
Of course Tories like Gove are resigned, they resigned.
Sleaze and more sleaze. PPE contract anyone?
The main problem in rentals isn't repairs, it's the fact that millions of essential workers such as teaching assistants and careers simply CANNOT secure a tenancy without a guarantor (something which m,any of them cannot secure either)
Forget about right to buy, we need REGULATION and RIGHT TO RENT!
We need a vast expansion of council housing so people don't have to rely on the private market.
@@adrianthoroughgood1191 We need a crackdown on companies buying up property they do nothing with.
@@paulgibbon5991 If a property is long term empty the council can charge a higher penalty rate of council tax, which increases with how long it's been empty, up to 4x normal if it's empty 10 years. Though I think this probably should come in faster and be a higher penalty.
It's my experience that Rishi Sunak is a liar and cannot be trusted about; "Government integrity, professionalism and accountability at every level", 25/10/22 outside number 10.

That's a good one
The normal process in any organization if serious alegations are raised, is 'without prejudice' suspension. Also they do not have to actually commit a crime; bringing the organization into disrepute is sufficient grounds for sacking. Sunak again shows himself to be spineless.
Get 'em gone
And why isn't Sunak at least being asked by the gambling commission whether he gave them the date before he told the country or his own mps
Sorry, but why is this even a problem? If they want to engage in a private bet, let them.
Penny drops on corruption.yawning

The gambling commission are totally useless btw. They will try and pretend to be significant doing this.
"if it was one of my candidates they'd be gone and their feet would not have touched the floor". You can say all you want mate but we all know that is not a true statement.
Cant say too much about the betting scandal because it will get deleted

His unwillingness to answer is exactly why I wouldn't vote for him.
IT IS SO COLD IN MY FLAT....A POLAR BEAR MOVED IN.
6:45 Two snobs discussing why the poor don't eat cake. These two affluent women have never been a position of not being able to afford to live in a nice home. The thing is, _nice_ homes cost a lot more money than crappy ones, but poor people can't _afford_ nice homes. If the private landlords are forced to spend tens of thousands of pounds on home improvements to each property, that cost is passed on to the tenant. Somebody has to pay, it's not free.
I do apologise 😢for the conversative scandal
Of course Suank has not suspended them, do you expect from someone who worked at Goldman Sachs.
So what's Rainer doing for her own constituency? In the North, it is too far from her mates and comfortable gig in London?
Oh sickening
Very very greedy 😂
She knew about an hour before she placed the bet. Horrendous corruption, dressed up in a well spoken, middle England package...
i don’t understand what’s the investigation for. i work for a gambling company. For someone to place a bet on something or a team they work for is simply illegal.. no but
When there is flash photography in a video there is a warning. Please could you offer a warning before you put Michael Gove's face on so I can turn away in future?
I wonder what odds I'd get on a member of parliament being crooked.
Sunak should have asks the suspects a simple question. Did you place a bet that the election would be called for July? An admission or refusal to answer should have led to immediate suspension. The silver lining in this is that Sunak will pay dearly for his total lack of action.
Its not just this they are all bankers so thir fortunes are all from gambling.

But why does it matter, MPs should never be gambling on when an election will be. It’s so inappropriate.
Con -serve ourselves.
Love to see how much money each mp has made since being voted in. Worst mob ever.
Many decades ago I worked on Saturdays in a betting shop while doing an undergraduate degree in Probability. They were called "Turf Accountants" in those days.
The Turf Accountant told me: "Son, never bet on a horse that talks." i.e. don't bet on anything where a human can manage the result or know the result in advance.
A scam!
How this is not a scandal is in itself unbelievable.
Not everyone is as rich as Richi and everyone needs money
They should have bet that the Conservatives would single handily push their very existence into obscurity and ruin. I would have taken that bet too!
No wonder the countries in a mess with this lot being daft
It's amazing that everyone is obsessing over a few grand when the Sunaks will avoid £250 million in non-dom tax loopholes brought in by his government. Yes, it's insider trading, but so is having laws changed to benefit your family personally.
Tony Lee - who's taken a leave of his senses .
Stamp Duty on £425,000 Houses for First time buyers is already £0 so they are not giving anything do they think we are stupid. 😂
If they are prepared to bet on privileged information. Just imagine what else they are willing share and sell behind closed doors for their own benefit. It's scary to think what other sensitive information they could be leaking to foreign powers, investment banks, or to family members in advance of major government projects etc. This also shines a shady light on the gambling commission as well. If you win a big bet you best understand you are getting investigated these days. It's almost like insurances now where the broker looks for any reason not to pay out.
corrupt politicians? no way!
A hazard is a hazard, private or social its the same danger. Having the law separate was unworkable.
They need the money,bless em!
I would rather have Kier Starmer any day of the week instead of these corrupt tories or reform rats
Difficult to get payback from bookies even if someone genuinely wins it these days - what did these tories think was going to happen ?
I can’t believe the Tory focus is on whether a crime has been committed. What sort of party lets candidates off with an error of political judgement like having a flutter on the election date when your own party is calling the election?
More aggressive with Raynor on removing mould than with Gove on insider gambling. What can you do?
🤣 🤣 🤣 Kier Davos giving it the big 'I am' 😝 sanctimonious beanbag! 🙄
He has the integrity of Norman Bates! 🙄 🙄
No wonder there's so much crime... when the ones in power are criminals people feel half justified in their actions.
Gove going out with his mate Charlie and E do loves a dance !!
Hello I'm Laura Sanders and I have no morals, neither does my husband.
'As you know, there is an investigation going on and it simply wouldn't be right for me to comment until it has reached its conclusions'. The Tories are at it again.
It wouldn't be right to comment before the news cycle has moved on.
What about rent controls and building more council housing? Why isn’t that being mentioned? That’s a top priority that also needs swift attention in this broken country.
Sickening to any honest or hardworking person but the tories know how to make money in the most corrupt and obscene ways. From privatisations of electricity, gas, phones, airports etc where they had insider information on the likely share prices and profits, to today and the election date itself. Where does this leave the public, exactly where we've always been - at the station, the gravy train having already gone. If only you had known its arrival time! Thank goodness us ordinary folk understand that honesty and integrity are more important than money. Or did they put that into us too.
Suspended and charged, it is as good as theft. Tough on crime.. ?
I have been fighting for Sunak as much as I could but that is it, I am done!! this party is rotten from the people that constitute it. They need this 4 years to clean it seriously. My trust is over.
we live in a corrupt country with corrupt politicians .....nothing knew there....
