Rishi Sunak silent on number of Tories facing election bet inquiries

Rishi Sunak, along with the Conservative party, is facing questions about the number of Tories who are currently being investigated for placing bets on the date of the election. The ongoing controversy has become a major issue for their campaign. The Prime Minister expressed his frustration on Friday, stating that he is "angry at the thought that someone might have done the things that are alleged." This comes after three individuals associated with the Conservatives, including one close to him, have been targeted in inquiries by the Gambling Commission. Opposition leader Keir Starmer has criticized Boris Johnson for his "total lack of leadership" in handling the situation. The refusal to disclose the extent of the inquiries has only added fuel to the fire, raising further questions about the integrity of the election process.
