Vincent McAviney: UK Correspondent on the betting scandal facing the Tories - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Labour’s lead in the UK election is holding steady as the Tories deal with a scandal. 

The party has admitted that their campaign head, Tony Lee, placed bets on the timing of the vote, allegedly just days before Sunak went public. 

The BBC revealed that Tory candidate Laura Sanders, wife of Lee, is also being investigated by Britain’s Gambling Commission. 

UK Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Mike Hosking that it’s a huge scandal that these people have seemingly used insider information to infringe the UK’s betting laws.
