Rishi Sunak Criticized as 'Unpatriotic' for Leaving D-Day Commemorations Early, Apologizes
Jun 7, 2024, 06:38 PM
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has faced significant backlash for leaving D-Day commemorations early. Critics, including Nigel Farage, have labeled the decision as 'unpatriotic' and a 'complete and utter disgrace,' accusing Sunak of deserting D-Day veterans. Penny Mordaunt, a Cabinet minister, described Sunak's actions as 'completely wrong' and emphasized that the Prime Minister has apologized to veterans and the public. The controversy has sparked widespread criticism from MPs and political commentators, with some calling it an 'insane decision.' Farage further criticized Sunak for being 'disconnected' from the public. The issue was a focal point during the BBC debate, with Sunak's apology failing to mitigate the strong reactions from various quarters, including former Prime Minister David Cameron, who reportedly should have advised against the early departure.
