The betting scandal spells trouble for Sunak
Spectator (UK)JUL 4 2024
Rishi Sunak and the Tories continue to shoot themselves in the foot as things turn from bad to worse for the lame-duck party. If the gambling scandal wasn't bad enough, Sunak waited nearly two weeks to discipline the MPs involved. It’s obvious that these politicians had inside information on when Sunak would call the election, and they disregarded any form of ethics to make a quick buck. This saga only reaffirms Tory corruption.
Labour loves throwing stones from glass houses, as one of its candidates faces investigation for betting on his own candidacy. This shows that no one is blameless in politics, and there are good and bad apples from all parties and ideologies. Tying this scandal to just one party is inaccurate and unfair.
