Rishi Sunak may have called the election early because on some level he wants to "get out of government", former Tory minister Rory Stewart has suggested on LBC. Speaking exclusively to LBC's Iain Dale, Mr Stewart described the Prime Minister's decision to call the election in July as "literally mad". Asked why by Iain, Stewart said: “I think that maybe subconsciously, psychologically may want to lose.
In the last week, it has emerged that at least five - and possibly as many as 15 - Conservative candidates are being investigated by the Gambling Commission over alleged bets made in relation to the date of the election. Giving his own opinion on Mr Sunak having worked with him, Mr Stewart told LBC: “I thought that he was somebody who was very, very confident in argument. “So you could see that in the debate last night. He's very good at arguing.
