Craig Williams bet on election date: Sunak must suspend him

14 Jun 2024
Cllr Glyn Preston

Responding to allegations reported about Conservative Candidate for Montgomeryshire & Glyndŵr Craig Williams in the Guardian, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate and Llanidloes Councillor Glyn Preston said:

"The PM should immediately suspend Craig Williams as a while an investigation takes place.

"The people of Montgomeryshire & Glyndŵr deserve better than constant scandal from the Conservatives. Its time that our area returns to its Liberal Democrat roots."

Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper added:

"Not content with gambling with the country’s future, it now appears that a senior Conservative may have been trying to turn a quick buck on the election date. Given that Craig Williams is Rishi Sunak’s close personal aide, it is incumbent on the Prime Minister to immediately suspend him as a candidate and Conservative Party member while the inquiry takes place.

"Voters are being taken for granted by Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives."
