Five coppers and now a Labour Candidate suspended too.Originally posted by the other bob wilson View Post
The wider it goes, the slightly more bizarre it gets. I can see how some very close to the PM trying to make money on it is stupid but surely the Labour MP and some in the police would have acted on nothing other than rumours?
I struggle to see a huge issue?
EDIT** It seems the Labour guy has been suspended for betting on himself to lose. That is bizarre, not particularly immoral but I can see why it's a definite suspension**Comment

Re: Poor Rishi .......again
Depends where those 'rumours' came from.Originally posted by JamesWales View Post
Craig Williams was close enough to Rishi to know. The police officers may work in number 10 and have overheard a comment, or travelled in a ministerial car and heard a conversation. All that would potentially qualify as having insider knowledge.
Interestingly though, on Newsnight the day before the announcement, one of the political journalists said that all he's heard all day is that Rishi is going to announce on the following day the elecdate of July 4th. Decent odds were still available then for anyone to take advantage of. That rumour was in the public domain so wouldn't count.
Only after that when Cameron returned home early, and another minister cancelled a trip did the odds plummet.Comment

One of the justifiable suspensions!Originally posted by JamesWales View Post
This comment from the Guardian rolling elction blog:
Craig is the candidate in Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. That is a seat Dan Poulter won for the Tories in 2019 with a majority of 23,391. But some of the recent MRP polls have suggested it was on course to go Labour.
Several layers of stupidity, immorality and miscalculation there!Comment

Re: Poor Rishi .......again
Yeah it's pretty stupid behaviour. I guess we are dealing with something that some people suffer a serious addiction to, so I do try and bear that in mind, but still. This is just something, people will have to learn you can't do. I think betting on your own side is okay and betting on the date is a guess okay if it really is a guess, but it's best just left well alone.Originally posted by jon1959 View PostComment

The Labour guy is a berk, but I suppose it gives Starmer a chance to show what a “strong” leader he is.Comment

Re: Poor Rishi .......again
Where’ve you been in this thread up to now? We’ve missed you - he wasn’t an MP, it was a Conservative held seat, and he’d been discussed, and condemned, in this thread already.Originally posted by pipster View Post
Meanwhile, there’s now a Cabinet member and a Welsh AM to add to the list.
