"They are going to need more feet to shoot themselves in."

Love this.

How stupid are these people?

they arent stupid, they just dont care.

They know there will be minimal or zero accountability or consequences over and above some copper losing his pension, or a low level aide who will no doubt be offered up as to logging into his bosses William Hill account and placing bets without anyone's knowledge.

5 more officers under investigation!

It's driving me mad this whole news story. Every time I hear "the gambling commission" on the news I start singing Atlantic City!

me too, that they're hanging on by the skin of their teeth.

Sunak is dreadful. Resists calls to take action with the excuse that the investigation

I'm more interested in more bent torys been outed. Fingers crossed.

Rishi Sunak is withdrawing from the Gambling Commission.

 

[WeeGord]

Now a Labour candidate has been suspended too.

 

[LessoftheLip]

Now a Labour candidate has been suspended too.

What I would say @WeeGord is that the two Conservatives have not been suspended they've merely had 'support' withdrawn.

Bet on himself to lose his seat

Oh dear. At least they have cauterised the wound, unlike the torys who sent out ministers to defend their miscreants.
How would a labour candidate have known about the date of the election?

Good news then - this isn’t a ‘lost’ seat for Labour.
He’d worked out he was going to lose (majority of over 23k)

Hope there is never an investigation into my betting habits…..
Often used to bet against the Boro to soften the blow

No wonder people don’t feel like voting and say they’re all the same!!!

Why do it, I’m sure it will be laughed off on here cos it’s a Labour candidate but it’s just pathetic and for what, all it’s done is drag Labour in to a Tory 5hit show and yes Labour will take the moral high ground as they’ve suspended him straight away but what an idiot!!!

It's absolutely not good news. Plays right into the hands of the "they are all the same" merchants.

Not the same though, is it? You'd be pretty annoyed if a Boro player was betting on them to lose.

'They're all the same' might be an overstatement, but there is a stench around the selection of both candidates in Central Suffolk and North Ipswich - bungs for seats

That's never happened...

 

[ThePrisoner]

He's admitted he place the bet a few weeks ago because he thought he would lose and would give the winnings to charity. Incredible. As in 'not credible'.
