Fifth Tory Investigated in Election Betting Scandal

A Conservative politician from Wales, Russell George, has been identified as the fifth party member under investigation by the Gambling Commission for allegedly placing a suspicious bet on the date of the general election. This latest development adds to the growing scandal that has been casting a shadow over Rishi Sunak's campaign. Russell George, who is a member of the Welsh parliament representing the same constituency as Craig Williams, a close aide to Sunak, has been notified by the Gambling Commission that he is part of the inquiry. This news comes as the Tories have dropped Craig Williams and Laura Saunders in connection to the election betting scandal. The investigation by the Gambling Commission into these Tory figures and their alleged bets on the general election date continues to unfold, raising questions and concerns within the party and beyond.
