Rishi Sunak handed out Bara Brith cake to the media in Wales today but his campaigning continued to be overshadowed by the scandal around betting allegations.
The Prime Minister faced further questions on gambling by Conservative candidates, failing in his attempts to move on from the scandal during a campaign visit to Wales.
Meanwhile, on a visit north of the border, where he is looking to cement Labour’s resurgence, Sir Keir Starmer rubbished the idea of entering negotiations on another independence referendum if the SNP wins a majority of Scottish seats at the election.
