In his bid to become the MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich, Kevin Craig is challenging Dan Poulter, a former Conservative who is not seeking reelection after defecting to Labour ahead of the election. The seat is secure for Conservatives.
As far as News’ lead political journalist Jon Craig is aware, the wager concerned his constituency’s vote total, and the candidate had been wagering that he would lose the race.
Although Kevin Craig would still have “Labour” next to his name on the ballot paper at this late date, Labour stated that he had been suspended by the party.
Additionally, it is agreed upon that the party will reimburse the businessman for donations totaling £100,000 that he has contributed since Sir Keir Starmer assumed leadership of Labour.
A few weeks ago, when I felt I would never win this seat, I placed a wager on the Tories to win here with the aim of donating any gains to local charities. Mr. Craig made this statement in a post on X, saying he had “enjoyed the odd bet for fun” throughout his life of betting.
