YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNick Ferrari, Natasha Clark and Former Director of Communications in Downing Street under David Cameron, Sir Craig Oliver, discuss the latest in the Gamblegate scandal.
Scottish Secretary Alister Jack claimed that he won more than £2,100 betting on the date of the forthcoming election during an interview conducted shortly after the snap election.
The Tory cabinet minister then appeared to backtrack on his comments after initially admitting he made the bet, shrugging off the comments as "a joke".
He is the fifth Tory to be investigated in the growing betting scandal, which now includes a range of MPs and police officers.
It follows the announcement of a probe by the Gambling Commission into bets made on the date of the General Election.
A Labour candidate, Kevin Craig, has also been suspended from his party after placing a bet on himself to lose.
