About this episode
In a move that I think we can safely say no-one saw coming , the Conservative campaign director has announced his own leave of absence two weeks out from polling day.
His wife is a candidate. They are both being investigated for allegedly placing a bet on the date of the election before it was publicly announced.
Another close protection officer has been arrested for misconduct. What is happening at the heart of his campaign and what is this doing to the state of the race.
Later we see in a key Lab/Tory marginal talking to former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith who’s been the MP here for 32 years … - and to his newly selected Labour opponent Shama Tatler.
