    Will they never learn?
    On the subject of careless postings, for clarity most of those charged were future candidates (who let's face it would have had little chance of winning). Also there seems to have been a careless ommission of the fact that a labour candidate was also charged for betting on himself to lose the seat!

    Same trough, same pigs but they aren't all wearing blue ribbons.

    Take your point, although tbf the Labour candidate was standing in a particularly safe Tory seat so the bet was equally safe…and admittedly stupid.

    Bit different when two senior Tories both appear to use their insider knowledge to bet on the timing of the election.
