Labour has suspended parliamentary candidate Kevin Craig after being told the Gambling Commission has launched an investigation into him.

They're all at it.

"Labour has suspended parliamentary candidate Kevin Craig after being told the Gambling Commission has launched an investigation into him.

It is understood the probe is not linked to alleged bets on the election date, but that he is suspected of betting on the election result in the Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, where he was standing".

Can only assume this sort of behaviour has always been commonplace and it isn't just a sudden epidemic of candidates, family members and advisors having a random punt.

Don't see anything wrong with it realy, its totally different from placing bets with privileged information.

Grifter getting his excuses in early.

Postal votes were sent out weeks after his campaign was launched.

The day is here where Sir Keir leads Labour from their lowest low for 79 years to, possibly, their biggest win ever in less than 5 years

An incredible turnaround and despite the resignations, I expect to see a number of Portiolo moments tonight 🌹 🌹 🌹

Thanks for exclusively leaking the line the crank fringe will be taking before a vote has been counted.

I live directly opposite a polling station and it looks busier than the last GE
Had a Tory leaflet pushed through my door at 7.30 this morning, came across as desperate more than anything else
Went straight in the Blue recycle bin that was at the gate waiting to be emptied today.
This is usually a Tory stronghold, John Major was the MP here for many years, not so sure this time.
Had an influx of younger people who struggle to afford Cambridge property prices and Labour voting Londoners like myself.

The older locals can be very racist, thinking Reform might pick up a few votes and the Tories probably haven't helped themselves with a Black candidate.

No worries.

Gold family going as follows.

3 Labour (2 previously SNP)

2 Green (both previously Labour)

2 abstainers (both previously Labour)

So a net loss of 2 for Labour.
