The Tory party is facing a betting scandal that has been making headlines as the Conservatives, Labour, and Reform parties continue their campaigns leading up to the general election on 4 July. Investigators are now looking into all wagers over £20 placed with bookmakers as the scandal surrounding the Tories worsens.

A high-ranking Conservative Party official has decided to take a leave of absence following allegations that they engaged in betting on the timing of the upcoming general election.

The recent controversy surrounding election betting claims has brought attention to the issue of who knew about the election date in advance and when they knew it. There have been allegations suggesting that certain individuals may have had prior knowledge of the election date, leading to speculation and scrutiny in the media. The focus remains on those who may have been aware of the date beforehand and the implications of their actions.
