Labour Candidate Suspended Over Gambling Commission Investigation

Labour has suspended one of its general election candidates, Kevin Craig, who was running for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich. This decision comes as the party became embroiled in a controversy surrounding betting on the date of the general election. The suspension was made after Labour was informed by the gambling commission that an investigation has been initiated into one of the party's candidates. In addition to Craig's suspension, the Tories have also withdrawn their support for two hopefuls in a U-turn on election betting. The situation highlights the sensitivity and potential legal implications of gambling on political events.
