Three people linked to the Conservatives, including the party's former director of campaigning, have been given suspended sentences after admitting to cheating at gambling on the 2024 general election date. Anthony Lee, 49, pleaded guilty in September alongside his wife, Laura Saunders, 38, who appeared in court under her married name. Lee was responsible for deploying Tory resources for the contest, which then-prime minister Rishi Sunak called for 4 July. Saunders was the party's head of international, based at head office and had been chosen to run in the Bristol North West constituency. NHS worker Amy Hind, 36, the wife of Conservative deputy digital director Anthony Hind, pleaded guilty in June to cheating on the date of the election. #UK #SkyNews #Live #BreakingNews #Court #GeneralElections #Election #UKCourt #Conservatives #Tories #Gambling SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on X: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Why not listen to one of our podcasts?
