Trades Union Congress report finds low wages under Conservatives have dragged an additional 1,350 children a week into poverty
Senior Conservatives and campaigners are calling for a ban on political bets by MPs, as the Gambling Commission was urged to look into another £500 wager connected with the growing election gambling scandal, Rob Davies, Jessica Elgot and Matthew Weaver report. The former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said parties should examine the rules when parliament returns amid growing outrage over Tory candidates and aides allegedly staking money on politics.
The former defence minister Tobias Ellwood also said there should be new restrictions. The Conservatives have launched their own inquiry into whether politicians or officials gambled on the timing of the election. Rishi Sunak was forced to deny having placed any bets himself and told reporters he was not aware of any further candidates under scrutiny.
