Race against time
Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister of the UK, has issued a stark warning to the public, stating that there are only 10 days left to prevent a disastrous Labour super-majority. In a bid to sway voters, Sunak will go head-to-head with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer in the Never Mind the Ballots: Election Showdown, airing at 5:30 pm today.
Final showdown
With the clock ticking, Sunak and Starmer will have one of the last opportunities to present their platforms and defend their manifesto pledges to the public. Political Editor Harry Cole will moderate the event, with input from a panel of Sun readers.
Betting scandal and backlash
Despite hopes of the betting scandal fading away, Sunak's plea to Conservative voters not to grant Sir Keir "unchecked" power comes amidst predictions of a significant Labour majority on July 4. The Prime Minister will emphasize the potential consequences of a Labour government and urge Tory supporters to think carefully before casting their votes.
Expansion of inquiry
As the Gambling Commission continues its investigation into alleged betting activities related to the General Election, more Tory figures have come under scrutiny. The Commission has broadened its inquiries to explore possible involvement of party insiders utilizing third parties to place bets. Shadow Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has expressed dismay over the allegations, while the Liberal Democrats have called for Sunak to order a Cabinet Office inquiry into the matter.
