00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:07.480
dominating the BBC has learned that the

00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:09.880
conservatives director of campaigning is

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:12.200
being looked into over allegations about

candidate Laura Saunders who is also the

00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:20.680
subject of inquiries by the gambling

00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:23.519
commission here's the political reaction

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.240
it's quite properly uh being

00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:27.920

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.439
well as I say uh you and others looking

00:00:30.439 --> 00:00:33.520
at this will I I'm sure be doing much

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.160
more than just raising an eyebrow if it

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:38.239
was one of my candidates they'd be gone

00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:39.559

the floor there's a wider Point here

00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:44.680
that you touch on which is we've now had

00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:46.960
14 years of chaos of division of

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.760
politics being about self- entitlement

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:51.760
and politics needs to be about service

00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.000
about public

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:54.960
service we think there should be a

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.879
cabinet office uh inquiry I think the

00:00:56.879 --> 00:00:58.879
