So it turns out Rishi Sunak originally refused to go to the D-Day commemorations *at all* and only agreed to go for part of it, in a "compromise" with the French.

🚨 NEW: Lifelong Tory voter and 90-year-old Muriel says she will no longer vote Tory after Rishi Sunak skipped the D-Day event
"If he expects me to vote for him again, he can forget it. He’s just let me down, he’s let the country down”
[@BBCNews]
Our British Prime Minister went on national TV and lied about an easily refuted figure. Then the lie was repeated by other Tory Ministers.
Isn't that staggering?!?
All happening just before the 80th anniversary of D Day when we remember courage and honour.
How low have we sunk?
He did his selfies and twatty social media posts about respect and never forgetting. Then he ducked out early to talk/lie about himself to ITV.
Peak Sunak. Such a vain little man. As insincere as he is entitled.
He is so getting his sorry arse handed back to him in 4 weeks time.
If anything sums up the here today-gone tomorrow gaslighting, unelected chancer @RishiSunak it’s leaving the #DDay commemorations early. Disgusting. Our country can do better than that. He did similar to @ExcludedUK@ForgottenLtd during Covid. Totally not doing his job/duty 😡
It is right to say that isn’t a party political matter but it is one about personal values and the solemn personal duty of being Prime Minister and it tells us that Rishi Sunak does not have the qualities and judgement required for his office.
If its true that Rishi Sunak returned from the 80th #dday celebrations with elderly heroes, to do an ITV interview with @PaulBrandITV
To save his political career then his political career is over!
Head in hands - cannot find the words 😶
Now the UK's statistics watchdog has criticised the Prime Minister’s £2,000 tax claim
Having been calling this boll**** out for more than a week it’s nice to see everyone else finally catching up

Yesterday, Laura Kuenssberg sought to excuse Sunak’s ill judged decision to leave the D-Day commemorations early.
Today, Chris Mason rushes on #r4today to basically say “he’s tweeted an apology, time to move on”.
These weak and sycophantic journalists are an embarrassment.
- @PennyMordaunt Mordaunt going all high horse saying the Tories the only party that can be trusted to stand up to Russia. Would that be the Russia they let interfere in our democracy, then sat on the report? Or the Russia whose oligarchs they rolled out the red carpet for? Or Russians they let take over our papers? Or Russians that they hawked themselves out to for tennis matches to raise money for their campaigns of lies? As mid-election leadership campaign lunches go Sunak “wrong” not a bad effort
Remember the "Portillo Moment"??
Now imagine THE PRIME MINISTER lost his seat... something that hasn't happened since 1906.
Looking at the polls, IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. 🥳
Tom Wilson is the Labour Candidate, who may well unseat Rishi Sunak.
HOW AMAZING WOULD THAT BE??!!! 🎉
I'd like to see Rishi Sunak respond to this Gentleman
"It let's the country down"
If we were not in the middle of a General Election campaign he'd surely be expected to resign
All parties suspended campaigning for D-Day, Sunak tried to get an advantage
An utter disgrace
