The UK's Conservative Party has withdrawn support for two parliamentary candidates, Craig Williams and Laura Saunders, amid allegations of betting on the date of the forthcoming general election. This decision follows ongoing internal inquiries and consultations with the Gambling Commission. Both candidates have been suspended from their roles, and the party has stated that this move does not compromise the independent investigation being conducted by the Gambling Commission. Craig Williams was the candidate for Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr, and Laura Saunders was the candidate for Bristol North West. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has endorsed this decision.
