Jun 22, 2024, 10:46 PM
The Conservative Party in the UK is facing a significant scandal as multiple officials are under investigation for allegedly placing bets on the date of the upcoming July general election before it was announced. The party's chief data officer, Nick Mason, has taken a leave of absence amid claims he placed dozens of bets worth up to £100. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed his anger over the situation, with fears that more names could emerge. The Gambling Commission is leading the investigation, which has already implicated four senior Tory officials. The use of inside information reportedly generated winnings of thousands of pounds.
