Sunak aid bet on election date before announcement.

[Gladanotthwrteamonesomething]

More sleeze. One of Sunak's aides has admitted to placing a bet on the election date before it was announced.

It feels like one thing after the other. I realise no matter what they do some voters will give the Tories a free pass but there are so many gaffes, so much sleeze, lies, deliberate miscalculations.

He's standing as a prospective MP replacing a retiring/leaving sitting Tory MP. Strange situation

He shouldn't be allowed to stand. Baked in sleaze.

Not that strange, surely? Lots of tory MPs aren't standing again this election (probably because they know full well they will lose their seat).

This guy's behaviour just epitomises the corrupt, grifting mentality of the current government. I find it hard to believe anyone could vote for them after seeing what they've done to the country since 2010, and yet....

He might even get in, it's a Tory seat. Lady of TV said she'd still vote for him and is a minor issue. That's the sort of voter the sleezey MPs like, vote for you no matter .

OK so started this thread a while ago.

Now more tories linked to betting and sleeze

Is it just what is expected of the current tory government?

A surge in bets placed just before election announcement. Were they all at it?

I'd be sacked if I did something like this.

Second tory candidate questioned. It feels like the fish rots from the head here
