Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and wife, Akshata Murty, attending the UK national commemorative event for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, held at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, June 6, 2024
IT WAS D for Disaster Day for the struggling Tories today as Premier Rishi Sunak was forced into a humiliating apology for skipping the 80th anniversary commemorations of the World War II invasion of France.
Mr Sunak skipped out of events in Normandy early in order to record an electioneering interview with ITV.
“On reflection, it was a mistake not to stay in France longer and I apologise,” the humbled Premier said as his judgement was assailed from all sides.
