A gambling scandal is causing a rocky run up to next week's UK election. Â
Six police officers, including a member of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's protection team, are in hot water after allegedly placing bets on the election date. Â
UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Mike Hosking that it's an extraordinary saga, with two Conservative MPs now suspended after also facing accusations. Â
But he says because they're already on the ticket, they can still be voted on and will have to stand as independents if they win a seat. Â
The Gambling Commission has also launched an investigation into a now suspended Labour candidate.Â
