UK general election live – latest updates
David Cameron has condemned Rishi Sunak’s closest parliamentary aide, Craig Williams, for making a “clearly very foolish decision” after he placed a bet on a July election three days before it was called.
The Guardian revealed on Wednesday that Williams, who is standing for re-election in Montgomeryshire and Glyndŵr, placed a £100 with Ladbrokes on a July poll.
