Sunak leaving D-Day events early to do TV interview was ‘a mistake’ – Mercer
Rishi Sunak made a “significant mistake” by leaving D-Day memorial events early to carry out a TV interview, his own minister for veterans said.
The Prime Minister has apologised and said that “on reflection” he should have stayed in Normandy for a major international ceremony attended by world leaders.
Instead, Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron represented the UK Government, while Mr Sunak’s rival for the keys to No 10, Sir Keir Starmer, was also there rubbing shoulders with world leaders.
Veterans’ minister said he understood the “outrage” at the Prime Minister’s actions.
