Gamblegate: Is a Tory wipeout inevitable after yet another scandal?

There’s one week left before the British public goes to the polls and the difficulties for prime minister Rishi Sunak keep on coming.

Revelations that members of Sunak’s inner circle correctly bet on the timing of the general election have damaged the Tories as the party tries to shore up support ahead of an expected Labour victory.

To add to Sunak’s woes, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party is polling well.

On today’s In the News podcast we ask London correspondent Mark Paul whether Sunak can avoid an historic wipeout next week - and whether Farage can convert votes into seats.
