The UK's Labour Party has suspended Kevin Craig, its candidate for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, following a Gambling Commission investigation into his betting against himself in the upcoming general election. Craig admitted to placing the bet, insisting it was intended to benefit local charities, and apologized for his 'stupid error of judgment'. Despite his suspension, his name will still appear on the ballot paper as a Labour candidate. The Labour Party emphasized its commitment to maintaining high standards for its parliamentary candidates under Keir Starmer's leadership. This incident compounds a growing political betting scandal that has also implicated two Conservative candidates and several police officers.
