‘Very disappointing’ that aide bet on July election date
Rishi Sunak said it was “very disappointing” that one of his closest parliamentary aides had placed a bet on the date of the General Election just days before the prime minister called it.
Craig Williams, who served as Mr Sunak’s parliamentary private secretary and is the Conservative candidate for Montgomeryshire and Glyndwr, has apologised but refused to say whether he placed the bet on the basis of insider information.

King Charles III opened Canada’s new parliamentary session with a rare “speech from the throne”—only the third such address by a reigning monarch in Canadian history. In a powerful and symbolic gesture, the King began with a land acknowledgement, honoring the Algonquin and Anishinaabeg peoples, and called for deeper understanding and action on truth and reconciliation. It was his 20th visit to Canada, but his first as King. The ceremony blended Commonwealth traditions with Indigenous representation unique to Canada’s identity.
