In the ongoing saga of Betgate, the Conservative party has officially withdrawn its support for Craig Williams and Laura Saunders, two prospective MPs implicated in the controversy. The announcement was made by a Conservative Party spokesperson earlier today, marking a decisive shift in the party’s stance.
“As a result of ongoing internal enquiries, we have concluded that we can no longer support Craig Williams or Laura Saunders as parliamentary candidates at the forthcoming general election,” the spokesperson stated. “We have checked with the Gambling Commission that this decision does not compromise the investigation that they are conducting, which is rightly independent and ongoing.”
