British PM's Secretary Assistant Places Bet on July Election Polls, Foreign Secretary Denounces as Extremely Foolish

Reported about 1 year ago

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's parliamentary assistant Craig Williams placed a £100 bet with Ladbrokes Plc on the July polls just three days before Sunak announced the election date. In response to the incident, Williams apologized, while UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron condemned Williams' 'obviously very foolish decision'. The UK Gambling Commission has initiated an investigation after Ladbrokes Plc referred the bet. Williams, running for re-election, admitted to a 'massive misjudgment' and apologized, refusing to disclose if the bet was made based on insider information about Sunak's election plans.
