Keir Starmer has taken aim at Rishi Sunak’s leadership ability over the election date betting scandal, accusing the British prime minister of “failing to grasp the nettle” and take action quickly enough.

The Labour leader’s taunts came on the day that Mr Sunak finally agreed to suspend the candidates, two weeks after the allegations first emerged.
