UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing severe backlash from his own Conservative Party and the public after leaving the D-Day commemorations in Normandy early. The decision has been labeled as a significant misstep, with Tory minister Penny Mordaunt calling it 'completely wrong' during a heated election debate. Sunak's early departure has been criticized as disrespectful to war veterans and has led to accusations of handing a 'gift' to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party. Sunak has issued an apology, but the fallout continues, with senior Tories expressing despair over the impact on their election prospects. Amid the controversy, Sunak has avoided national media interviews and faced questions about his leadership. Despite the uproar, Cabinet minister Mel Stride insists that Sunak will lead the Conservatives into the upcoming election, dismissing speculation that he might step down.
