Former Conservative MP Craig Williams has pleaded guilty to cheating at gambling by placing bets on the date of the 2024 general election.

The 41-year-old was an aide to then-Prime Minister Rishi Sunak before the election was called.

The prosecution said Williams bet £250, £100, and £22.50 on the election date, telling the court he "used highly sensitive and confidential information".

Williams will not be sentenced until co-defendants have stood trial.
