Current, ongoing Tory insiders betting scandal strikes a stranger from an even stranger land, as quintessentially British.
Have been trying to imagine how this would play on this side of the Atlantic (and Pacific) if US politicos were involved? My guess is that while it would be a biggish news story, it would NOT have as much impact on USers than on UKers.
Because while betting is a long-standing and fast-growing pastime in US, it is NOT as ubiquitous as in UK. Not as ingrained in the culture, and also higher percentage of folks who are disinclined to gamble and/or disapproving of gambling if not gamblers. Meaning largish segment of likely voters who really don't understand what the issue is with insider betting. (Note this was case with, for example, conviction of Martha Stewart for illegal insider stock trading.)
Also the dates of elections in the States are no secret.
However, if an SC justice’s clerk decided to put some money on the outcome of a case he’d been working on that would make news. By definition, wouldn’t impact an election, but still newsworthy
In many American states, it is illegal to bet on the OUTCOME of elections.

🚨 ELECTION INTERFERENCE ALERT 🚨
Today's Mail on Sunday claimed President Zelensky said that I was personally infected with Putinism. This is totally untrue and I have instructed Carter Ruck to deal with it.
Tomorrow’s Daily Mail are so desperate to smear Reform that they have now contacted the Russian Foreign Ministry and goaded them into a supposed quote from someone in Sergey Lavrov’s office calling me an ‘ally’.
That a UK newspaper group is actively collaborating with the Kremlin to protect their dying Conservative party is an absolute scandal. The British people will see through this act of utter desperation.
Whatever .....suck it up loser . I’d rather have the Conservative party than Reform as opposition. Farage should take his brand of politics and fxck off to the USA where there’s a more willing audience for that !
The whole gambling scandal is so ridiculous in the sense that the markets have such small liquidity that a) people putting a decent amount of money on will set off alarm bells and b) you can't get on life changing money.
You must be really thick if you don't realise the former (and we have had loads of stories in the past couple of years where people have got in trouble betting) and later you risk all this for limited upside i.e. Its not like you can get on millions worth of profit.
From the Thick of It...so dense light bends around them.
The report that Labour campaigners got ready to roll their advertising on the back of keeping an eye on the betting markets, per Kuenssberg, is an indication in and of itself how much this stuck out like a sore thumb.
The Sunday Times published an article the Sunday after the election was called which said Labour's election chief new there was going to be a July election based on the betting moves he had seen.
Even I remember checking the BF market on a couple of occasions on the basis that knowledgeable people might have moved it and I’m as far from a savvy political operator as is possible to imagine.
If you bet on the date of the election you may need to report yourself to the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
I didn’t. And even if I did they are so fucked after allowing my old firm to be sold to a man who took £64m out of the client account to buy it, I don’t think they are going to be a regulator for much longer.
I know two ex solicitors who stole large sums from their clients, and while they were struck off, no effort has been made to recover the money.
The SRA, not to mention the SFO, are after this chap for the cash. He’s been made bankrupt though so much recovery is unlikely but they are getting hold of his portfolio of really unlovely property in places like Edgware and Wolverhampton.

People have a strange tendency to deny any positive attributes to politicians they disagree with. You saw it especially with Boris. His detractors wouldn't allow him any positive attributes whatsoever, which always struck me as slightly mad. So as someone who is nothing but pessimistic about PMSKS, let me say that he is obviously well above average in terms of looks for a 60 year old man, and even from 11 years his junior I would swap hair with him in an instant. Don't know about best looking PM since Gladstone though. Truss ranks quite highly, and Eden was famously handsome.
I still think he is seriously under threat as there's an undercurrent of rebellious former Tories eagerly wanting to make history, but Richmond is one of those seats that should never be in play, especially when a senior Minister is the MP.
Now it can be told. That back during the 2001 UK GE, yours truly absconded with a William Hague yardsign from a farm field in the vicinity of Richmond, Yorkshire. There were a fair number of such signs dotting the landscape in WH's then-constituency, where he was re-elected without difficulty.
So doubt I altered the outcome there or anywhere else. AND hope the statute of limitations has expired.
I’m sorry to tell you SSI there is no limitation on criminal acts in England. You’re well past limitation for civil conversion, but you’ll have to take your chances on criminal prosecution next time you’re here.

BBC News - Fourth Tory investigated in election bets probe
A fourth senior Conservative is being looked into by the Gambling Commission over bets allegedly placed on the date of the general election.
The Sunday Times reported that the party's chief data officer Nick Mason allegedly placed dozens of bets, which the paper says could have generated winnings of thousands of pounds.
A spokesman for Mr Mason told the BBC that it would not be appropriate to comment during an investigation but he denied wrongdoing.
Mr Mason, who is also a Conservative councillor in Herefordshire, has now taken a leave of absence from his Tory party role, 11 days from election day on 4 July. . . .

Key points here are the very large Margin of Error (up to 6%) so read that how you like.
Will this be the 2024 equivalent of the 1997 Observer poll which did for Portillo in Enfield Southgate?
The very fact we are even considering a Conservative defeat in their 29th safest seat shows where we are....
No, Sunak has a much bigger lead on this evening's poll than Portillo had in the Observer poll.
Demographically the core vote in Richmond is conservative farmers too, nothing like the core vote in Enfield Southgate which is liberal professionals and of course Enfield Southgate has a Labour MP again just a symptom of the London shift left 1997 affirmed
As you well know, it's nothing to do with any of that.
If I were Labour in R&N, I would be sending details of that poll to every non-Conservative voter (including Reform). As you think all Reform voters are just Conservatives who have lost their way, you won't realise but if you think Reform voters detest Sunak as much as voters from other non-Conservative parties, you might see Labour trying to squeeze LD, Green AND Reform and there's enough of those to defeat Sunak.
It probably won't happen but I wouldn't dismiss it so easily.
Rubbish, Reform voters loathe Starmer even more than Sunak and some would tactically vote for Sunak if they thought Labour might win
