Craig Williams, a former Conservative MP, has admitted a betting offence tied to the 2019 general election. Prosecutors said he traded stocks using early election results as advising then Chancellor Rishi Sunak at the time. He agreed his actions put personal gain ahead of public duty. Concerns about his behaviour during that campaign had already emerged months before this admission.
