What happened on Betfair’s next PM market after news of Boris’s hospitalisation came out
There was similar movement on the Johnson exit date market. Raab is Johnson’s designated stand-in.
This makes me uneasy about political betting but inevitably some punters will look to anything to turn a buck.
I’m also not convinced that the market is reading this right. If there is a need a replacement PM then that would surely be a decision for the whole cabinet.
I’m sure everybody on PB wishes Boris a speedy and full recovery.
