While officials within Labour's head office will have their heads in their hands, it has been a much more complex saga for the Conservatives.
After days of furore directed at Rishi Sunak for the election betting scandal, now a Labour candidate is under investigation by the Gambling Commission for his own betting activity - and is immediately suspended. Is this an equaliser in one of the grubbiest electoral sagas of recent elections? Quite possibly not. There is no doubting the utter dismay in Labour HQ at the revelation that they too have a candidate caught up in the betting scandal.
It was almost two weeks ago that Craig Williams - Rishi Sunak's closest parliamentary aide and former Montgomeryshire MP - admitted he had placed a bet on the election date - a date he might have known before the public at large. He denies he committed any offence, and remains under investigation.
