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 In addition to Craig's suspension, the Tories have also withdrawn their support for two hopefuls in a U-turn on election betting.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.

The Conservative Party has withdrawn its support for candidates Craig Williams and Laura Saunders following a scandal involving bets. Both candidates are currently under investigation by the Gambling Commission.

Tory former minister Tobias Ellwood has expressed the belief that the public is looking for strong action from the government in response to the betting scandal. He feels that Chancellor Rishi Sunak should be taking more steps to address the controversy and minimize the damage it is causing to the Conservative party. Meanwhile, Labour candidate Stella Creasy has shown resilience in the face of intimidation, after her office in north-east London was vandalized. The incident involved a smashed window and door, but Creasy remains undeterred. The betting scandal came to light when it was revealed that Craig Williams, who served as Rishi Sunak's parliamentary private secretary in the previous parliament, was under investigation for placing a bet on an election date just three days before it was announced. Williams admitted to making a mistake in judgment, but it remains unclear whether he had prior knowledge of the election date. Ellwood emphasized the need to determine whether Williams had inside information when placing the bet. The situation has raised questions about integrity and transparency in politics, with implications for both the Conservative and Labour parties.

In a 2018 interview with US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, made controversial remarks comparing parents of Sandy Hook school shooting victims to left-wingers attempting to restrict free speech.

During the interview, Farage did not challenge Jones's assertion that he was being unfairly targeted by "frauds." The comments made by Farage have sparked criticism and raised concerns about his stance on free speech and conspiracy theories.

A Nevada state court judge dismissed a criminal indictment on Friday against six Republicans who were accused of submitting false certificates to Congress declaring Donald Trump as the winner of the state's 2020 presidential election.

Nevada's attorney general, Aaron Ford, immediately announced that he would be taking the case directly to the state supreme court following the ruling by Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus. The six Republicans had been charged with submitting fraudulent documents to Congress in support of Trump's false claims of victory in the 2020 election.

Liberal Democrats are calling on Rishi Sunak to redirect £5 million from a Tory donor embroiled in a racism controversy to a veterans' charity. The donor, Frank Hester, reportedly made derogatory remarks about veteran Labour MP Diane Abbott, stating that looking at her makes one "want to hate all Black women" and suggesting she "should be shot." The request for the funds to be reallocated to support veterans comes after Hester's comments and his recent involvement in a D-Day snub.

Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden's immigration order as "bulls***" during a rally in Arizona. This rally was Trump's first major event since he was convicted of a felony in a hush money case in New York.
