  • Five Conservative politicians are now being investigated by the Gambling Commission for allegedly placing bets on the date of the general election. Hundreds of pre-election bets are now being trawled for connections to the party. Rishi Sunak has withdrawn support from two of those under investigation but how bad could this get for the Tories?

    Tories being Tories - no surprise but don't blame the betting scandal for the up and coming defeat.. People are simply fed up with lies and false promises from bottom feeding self serving charlatans.

      History shows the exact opposite.
      In per-year figures, Labour borrow less, and pay off more of the national debt, than Conservatives, through the entire post-WW2 period.
      And the country has working assets and infrastructure, to show for it.
      Tories are high tax, high borrowing, high national debt, and infrastructure falls apart.

      Even if you want less immigration. Stop the boats etc. The Conservatives have clearly failed. There’s been higher immigration this past year then any previous time in recent history. You should vote for any other party. Tories are in the bin.
