Another official from the UK Conservative Party is reportedly under investigation in connection with a widening election betting scandal. According to British media reports, the chief data officer of the party has decided to take a leave of absence amidst mounting allegations that party members have been using confidential information to place bets on the date of Britain's upcoming July 4 national election.

In the ongoing general election, James Cleverly has stated that he has no reason to believe that cabinet ministers placed bets on the date of the vote. The party's chief data officer has reportedly taken a leave of absence following further allegations of betting against Tory party officials. Bridget Phillipson, the shadow education secretary, has emphasized that a Labour victory is not guaranteed. She accused the Conservatives of implementing a "voter suppression" strategy and urged people to not rely solely on polls. Phillipson stressed the importance of voting for change on July 4th to break away from years of Conservative rule. She highlighted that there are still undecided voters across the country, and a few hundred votes in key seats could determine the outcome of the election. Phillipson urged individuals to make their voices heard and vote for Labour to potentially secure a different future for the country.
