Ex-MP pleads guilty over general election offence
A former Conservative MP and aide to Rishi Sunak has pleaded guilty to cheating at gambling with bets on the date of the 2024 general election.
Craig Williams, 41, who was Tory MP for Cardiff North between 2015 and 2017, admitted using confidential information to place bets on the timing of the poll.
He was formerly part of Mr Sunak’s inner circle, having been appointed to be the then-prime minister’s parliamentary private secretary, and he attended a series of planning meetings in Downing Street ahead of the 2024 election.
Williams, of Llanfair Caereinion, Welshpool, Powys, entered his guilty plea at a hearing at Southwark Crown Court earlier today.
