[A senior Conservative candidate reportedly
placed an £8,000 bet on losing his seat
at the general election.

Sir Philip Davies neither confirmed nor
denied the wager,
first reported by the Sun,
external but rejected suggestions
he had done "anything illegal".

Sir Philip, who has been the
Tory MP for Shipley since 2005,
told the newspaper he expected
to lose the seat on 4 July.

He is defending a 6,242 majority
in the West Yorkshire seat.

Sir Philip said it was "nobody's business"
whether he placed the bet or not.

He said: "What's it got to do with
you whether I did or didn't.
I hope to win.
I'm busting a gut to win.
I expect to lose.]



Sure may be legal
But I would cancel the bet
as he knows
he will be kicked out
