YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA Labour candidate has been suspended after the Gambling Commission announced it has launched an investigation.
Kevin Craig, who is running to become an MP in the Central Suffolk and North Ipswich seat, has been suspended by Labour pending the outcome of the investigation.
It's a seat that was previously held by ex-Tory Dan Poulter, who defected to Labour ahead of the election but announced he will not stand again.
A spokeswoman for Labour said the move came after the party was contacted by the Gambling Commission.
It's believed the bet concerned the outcome of the election in his own constituency, more specifically, that Mr Craig was betting against himself to lose the seat.
It comes as five more police officers have been accused of placing bets on the timing of the election.
