Gambling using inside information to cheat the bookmakers is already illegal, and is rightly being investigated. There are no grounds for a wider moral panic about politicians making normal bets.

Refreshing sanity from Conservative Home, of all places!

There’s no equivalence between what Kevin Craig did (placed a bet on himself to lose) and what Craig Williams is accused of (using inside information to place a bet), and no need for a new law, given that what Williams is accused of is already illegal.
