Labour's Bridget Phillipson says Rishi Sunak has fallen short on delivering his promise of a government of accountability and integrity as a fourth Conservative is understood to be under investigation over allegedly placing bets on the date of the general election. It has been reported that Nick Mason, the party's chief data officer, placed dozens of bets.
Rishi Sunak has been challenged over the betting scandal and refused to comment on whether he spoke about the election date to Craig Williams, who is alleged to have placed a bet on it. The prime minister said those involved will face the full force of the law, as the Met Police announced they are also investigating the issue.
The former president's post marked a change from his previous remarks about climate change.

Labour keeps nobly insisting that it won’t raise taxes for “working people”. Call me a pessimist, but I can’t help feeling this is a promise that won’t be kept.
Make the most of living in Conservative Britain: Armageddon is upon us. In a little over a week, the Tory government – that last, oh-so-imperfect, infuriatingly porous roadblock to Left-wing hegemony – will have been obliterated. The removal vans, symbols of regime change, will be on their way. Parliament, the last major institution in Britain still nominally controlled by the centre-Right, will have fallen, in a wipeout without precedent.

Now, the issue here isn’t the truthfulness or accuracy of Rishi Sunak’s claims about Labour’s tax plans: I quite accept that those claims are, to put it mildly, debatable. There were a hundred circumlocutions you could use: if Sir Keir had spluttered, “that’s not true!” it would have meant exactly the same thing, but would have been entirely unproblematic. Once, scrupulous people would use the word “untruth” in denying the veracity of a statement and this too would lack the terrible force of the word “lie”, which implies a deliberate intention to deceive.

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia is considering a possible downgrading of relations with the West due to the deeper involvement of the United States and its allies in the Ukraine war, but no decision had yet been taken, the Kremlin said on Thursday. A downgrading of relations - or even breaking them off - would illustrate the gravity of the confrontation between Russia and the West over Ukraine after an escalation in tensions over the war in recent months.
