    Sunak must know how many of his cronies are involved in this. And why are the Gambling Commission taking so long to anounce things; they couldn't possibly be politically aligned could they?

    This needs to, and probably will go to the Police. The allegation looks to concern lots of small bets being placed to avoid raising the bookmakers' suspicions that the person concerned was 'in the know'. That suggests a more pre-meditated course of conduct than the (what looks like) opportunistic bets placed by others. It raises the possibility of more serious charges, acknowledging that all those involved so far have denied any wrongdoing.

    Let em keep dripping the names out one a day until polling day it just keeps reminding people what a bunch of lying cheating immoral self serving entitled (unts the CONservatives really are. It also keeps twisting the knife a bit further into Richy Boys heart which is an added bonus.

    It's just unreal. Personal secretary, Director of Campaigning, police protection constable and CDO. Why isn't this a front-page national scandal?

    Exactly. When the first one came out I thought why only risk £100 but it seems more orchestrated than that!

    As to the press, we know which side they favour!
