Could Sunak D-Day disaster cause Tory election wipeout?

- Rishi Sunak has apologised and admitted it was a “mistake” to leave D-Day commemorations early, but many in the Conservative Party are already furious with the prime minister and Labour’s Keir Starmer has said he “has to explain” the decision.
[Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...]
So why did he do it? Having spent the campaign so far reaching out to the very voters who hold respect for history and veterans so dear.
Is this the moment the game is up and closing the gap on Labour becomes unrecoverable?
Nigel Farage is already out there saying it shows Sunak isn't patriotic.
We were joined by Conservative Home’s Henry Hill, Boris Johnson’s former director of communications Guto Harri and Labour’s Jonathan Ashworth.

An entitled, unelected oligarch doesn't care about ordinary people. Shocker.
You are using the term oligarch incorrectly.
@@Lord-Panda2112 no. Look it up.
I think that is unfair
@@adamgrimsley2900 in that case you're going to be in for a nasty shock in a month or so...
That’s not fair, he didn’t ask to be born into money
My mother was in the Army in WWII, and worked as an aircraft plotter. She was bombed once but luckily survived. One of her brothers, my uncle, fought in North Africa and another uncle fought in the far East and was a prisoner of the Japanese. My father, an American citizen, volunteered for the RAF in 1939 and became a Flight-Sergeant, tail gunner in Lancaster bombers. Even though I never fought in a war or police action, I too volunteered for the Army and was a qualified Aircraft Technician with REME, and served in the UK and Germany. I find it beyond disgraceful that Prime Minister Sunak chose to disrespect my relatives in the way he has. The sooner this self-serving man, and his cronies, are gone, the better off this country will be. I cannot forgive him.
😍
My grandad fought in North Africa in WW2. He was a British tank operator, so he may have served with your uncle. Cridland was his surname.
My family has been in the military for generations. What Sunak did was unforgiveable. It's as simple as that. Never forgive him!
Your family is incredible!
I dont think anyone will ever forgive him for this I certainly wont!!!!
Guto Hari is a totally unconvincing apologist, the main problem is that Sunak is just not very good at politics or even appearing vaguely human.
He's utterly dishonest but surprisingly persuasive for the pile of bullshit he's shovelling at us
He sounds like Will from the Inbetweeners.
Guto by name, Gitto by nature
He is a totally dishonest man. In what way did Gordon Brown think that average Labour supporters are scum? The lies are endless..
Spinning so much I’m surprised he could keep his chair still…. What a pile of guff that you would expect from a BloJo crony
Tories are worse than useless. Get'em out and keep'em out.
It is Labours turn for a while. 🤦🏻♂️
Vote REFORM.
@@7Lace77 Yes, it will be wonderful to have the man who defended Jimmy Saville and the grooming gangs in charge of the country. Why do you hate white children so much?
It's what separates old Tories like Ken Clarke from new Tories like Sunak. Zero respect.
Ken Clarke the blood scandal supremo?
Don't fool yourselves that they had respect. They merely had some understanding
@@Timlagor That counts for alot- the ability to *read the room* and have self awareness. You wouldn't turn up to a job interview straight from a bender would you? Clarke's generation of Tories wouldn't, Boris and this generation totally would.
@@blazzz13 Yes but they still viewed the electorate with contempt -I suppose bothering to hide it is slightly more respectful
The missus had a nice hot lamb curry waiting for him back in UK.
His excuse literally made it worse. He basically said: 'I didn't insult the veterans because of the election, I was always going to insult them'.
Sunak left to film an interview that won’t be aired for 6 days. The interviewer has verified that Sunak dictated the schedule. It’s astonishing.
@Millie.com232 'the' office. Ain't his, he's just a squatter
Indians don't hold the 6th of June in such high regard as us.
All recent Tory Prime Ministers have done this. @Millie.com232
@Millie.com232He knows nothing especially about history.
@@biga1398 you really think Labour wont raise taxes?
A Tory in shorts pontificating…on a TV program ..showing total disregard for his fellow panellists…mirrors the contempt Tories have shown the country
My thoughts exactly.. trash.🗑️
They have all the way through
They got his name wrong, it’s not Henry Hill but Harry Hill 😂😂
Guto still cheerleading for Boris is so nauseating.
You've got to wonder what Boris has got on the likes of him and Nadine Dorries. It must be something genuinely awful if debasing yourself in defence of the indefensible is worse.
I agree. For all Sunak's faults and stupidity at least he did manage to turn up with his hair looking tidy which is more than Johnson would have managed to do.
Could the Country ever get over having him in power, I was guilty and lived to regret it
To do otherwise would be to admit that's he wrong, which he will never do.
Guto trying to say people would have criticized Sunak for staying for the D-Day event rather than doing the ITV interview (which could have been done at a different date, easily) is laughably stupid. Either he's saying that to play damage control for his fellow Tories or he has just as awful political instincts as Sunak and everyone running this disastrous Tory campaign.
I almost feel sorry for the poor sod Guto trying to defend the indefensible,
Especially given that No10 offered the date, not ITV
Unforgivable Rishi Sunak leaving the 80th Anniversary of D-Day early. Sunak is a disgrace.
Agree - to their credit and according to press Keir (lab) and Farage stayed the full day.
Following his idol Trump. Just with less charisma somehow.
@@theghostoftomWhen they're both gone for good, the day can't come soon enough.
Churchill might well be spinning in his grave.
He would probably have stayed if they had paid him.
Somehow Sunak is proving worse than Truss, and I never thought that possible...
And we thought Conservative members had poor judgement.
I wouldn't go quite that far. But yes, he's a trainwreck.
Truss was demeaned to put The social globalist man in, a coup in my opinion, obviously none of his family served in the military, he has no idea of how important this ceremony is to us… What else doesn’t he recognise, this is a stepping stone for his career, he has his green card after all….
They think it's all over, It is now............
Yep - worse than Ed Miliband's Bacon sandwich Gaffe, Gordon Brown gaffe with calling old lady a Bigot and Theresa May f^^%%^ up over inaction and turning up late to meeting residents of and around Grenfell, this was even worse and extremely disgraceful
Sunak wouldn't know that reference...
"Some people are on the beach... "
It is. It was already. Now, think about it. You are going to be the only major country in Europe with a real socialist government next.
It won't work as obviously, you Brits aren't. You ffing invented capitalism and liberalism. Now, brexit was a mistake (damn, I mentioned it) but you asked for this.
And guess what? "Sir" Keir Rodney Starmer won't change that. He would be an able leader but the dammage you did can't be undone. And yes, he is a socialist.
Reform they laughed at Nigel
Oh their definitely not laughing now😂😂😂😂
Sunak said don't politic this.... but he left D-Day early to return for a political interview. Absolute sacrilege in the highest order! Must be removed from office
This is one of those scandals that has it's own legs. Labour won't need to do anything on this, they can step back and just left it happen. They should confine themselves to brief, clear condemnations when specifically asked about it but otherwise leave it to the likes of Farage to be crude about it.
And in the same "apology" went on to try and laud his veterans ministerial appointment! Literally one sentence between the so called "apology" and the next bout of gaslighting!!! 🤣😂🤣
Sunak is actually inept.
Mind Begs the Question:
▪︎If Israelites/Palestinians put through
▪︎Starvation,White Phosphorus Gassing,Extermination Camps,Dehumanization,Pogroms,Mass Graves,Ethnic Cleansing,etc
▪︎Doesn't amount to Holocaust?
Does that apply to the King, as he left at the same time?
Tories are finished. There is no coming back from this.
Already were but this has cemented their Place in the ground - RIP to 7ory party on and after 5/7/2024 - what remains will divide to left going to Libs and right going to Reform
well, I thought that after they MURDERED over 100,000 pensioners in Care Homes thanks to Covid. They killed your parents and yet the Brits STILL Vote for this scum. This time, they've pissed on the graves of war hero's...why should that bother the Tory Party? Look at Trump: he called the Fallen, "Losers" - he might still be POTUS next year.
Decency and Honour are long gone from the UK.
THIS IS WHO THE BRITISH PEOPLE ARE NOW.
This is what the World Can SEE EXACTLY WHO THE ENGLISH ARE THESE DAYS.
Is Tori still married to what's-his-name?😮
Hope so. Never underestimate the thickness of the gammons.
Get yourself a viable deterrance, and stop dreaming about Empire. @@alexwyler4570
One American veteran died whilst travelling to attend the 80th D-Day Anniversary.
So sad for his loved ones . RIP
The level of disrespect to the fallen is immeasurable.
Why would an Indian care about British dead?
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
😭😭😭
I mean , WW2 sacrifice is basically a cult at this stage. The Tories destroyed the economy yet this is somehow more egregious. It's nuts.
Please stop your nonsense 😂😂
England is doing fine, my darling
He would've stayed all day for an IDF memorial.
Sunak should take his Green card and go to California now and not bother even standing in the election
only a fool would stay and hang around after feecing our country of billions .
he could move to rawanda
@@seanhaywood4597 🤣
Love the Rwanda idea
That’s coming on the 5th July.
Guto Harri is desperately clutching at every straw.
A few weeks after he says he will bring back national service .... Get stuffed Rishi.
The irony is almost poetic
I think Sunak just killed the Tory party. How many Tory voters didn't have a relative at D-day? My father was there.
His off hand disrespect of the most awful sacrifice made by all of those there has infuriated me. Children and grandchildren will find this tough.
Wow when you’re the Tory PM and conservative home has disowned you, you really messed up.
even the spectator had gone against him after his tax lies. he's a joke, if he hadn't been planted into a safe seat he never would have gotten anywhere in politics.
The tories want rid of the Indian, they let him fall into this one
My exact thoughts, talk about submissive x
@@ganndeber1621 Thing is it wasn't the "Indian" who shat the bed on his own- Truss, Boris, May and Cameron had already left their own turds on there
Baldie on the right should put some friggin' PANTS ON. And stop trying to make excuses for Sunak's pathetic behaviour.
I think he was probably trying to show young people just how hip and happening the Tories are.
EXACTLY
This is unbelievably unacceptable. R, Sunak doesn't cares enough about the falling heroes. A spoiled child
I think you mean a spoiled, selfish brat.
It's sad that a person who cannot even see the significance of leaving early on the occasion of the 80 year D Day service at Omaha Beach is our Prime Minister! It is absolutely disgraceful! He does not represent me or our country as far as I'm concerned. It's extremely insulting.
If it wasn't bad enough that he showed such arrogance in the first place, his 'appology' makes it even worse. What he essentially said was i did my bit with British veterans but i couldnt be arsed staying to show respect to the American, Canadian, French etc veterans without whome we would have lost the war. He might not like Europe but he should still show respect
@darrenj. Sunak has no sentimental attachment to any country. Even if we respect mankind in general, we all have that special place. That personal “disengagement” helps to explain his cold and heartless policies.
Ah yes a “citizen of nowhere “. Didn’t PM May warn about these?😜
Eating a bacon sandwich was not an error of judgement, it was ... err ... eating a bacon sandwich.
The error of judgement was not expecting the tabloid rags to sink so low.
Mentioning the bacon sandwich in the same breath as those other 'scandals' never mind this one is embarassing and peefectly encapsulates everything wrong with the media
In his defence he didn't mean they're equally severe. He meant it more as something that influenced polling and views on the person.
Which, people did give Ed Miliband a lot of crud for a minor trip here and a weird photo there. Saying it'd mean he'd look weak or whatever.
But I agree it is dumb to have it all together even if to say the final nail in the political coffin
Sunak, another spoilt rich boy. Shows what he really thinks of the UK. Massive floors in the government
Game was over but really is now
They think it's all over.........it is now !
@@johnburrows3385 @robharrison5893 Now they've started a whole new game called "can we manage to lose to Farage?" That wasn't a serious option until now
Sunak went 'Divine Wind' on this. His disrespect to this country should be reciprocated exponentially.
Are you saying he also let one rip at d day?
@@JackGreen-gh6sw the Japanese translation for divine wind is Kamikaze. This was not a Trump the pump reference.
As a welshman, we don't claim Guto. If you live in wales, you live with Thatcher's legacy every day. We are the poorest nation in Europe because of the tories. If you live next to the desparation in the valleys, and vote conservative, you are either a fool or a psychopath
Can't stand Guto.
Well said
FFS labour closed more pits than the Tories!
Get a life and start using what intelligence you have!
@simonjones2240 Your remarks absolutely reek of Botshittery.
Welsh voted for Brexit too. By a majority! 😂
He put his own interests above his duty as Prime Minister
What are T levels? It was a no brainer and Sunak showed he had no brain. Guito Hari is disingenuous or talks a lot of nonsense. Not only did Downing St choose the date for the interview but Sunak originally wasn't going to attend the D Day commemoration event at all.
he's known as being a slimy liar, no wonder he worked for johnson.

The contempt for Reform and the like is exactly why people are voting for them
Or, just possibly, the Reform loonies are contemptible and only the rabid gammonfolk would ever vote for them. I mean, Lee Anderson? Nigel the Venomous Toad? Seriously? Why not just exhume Enoch Powell or Oswald Mosley?
Yes, we already know actual self-examination about why people dislike them is beyond that lot.
I'm voting for the Reform party. Neither Sunak or, Starmer, have the answers for the problems, that we are facing. Don't waste your vote on either of them!
I think it is worse than Brown. Brown’s was a second lapse in judgement whereas this was planned weeks ahead, with plenty of time to consider it during the day and when he was in his helicopter flying back
To be fair to Brown, he was far quicker to apologise and seemed sincerely remorseful. I also think it was a tricky one for other politicians because most of them were no doubt aware of how easily something very similar could happen to them. I don't think Starmer, Davey or any of the other leaders will feel this one is the kind of mistake they'd make.
"Forget Reform", what a ridiculous thing to say right now. What reality is he in?
Sunak has no sense of politics and common sense at all. Doing one crazy stunt after another. Unbelievable.
no common sense, thats essentially it.
I think that everything that Sunake has done in the last few weeks is very very deliberate.
@@norawright807so why's he apologising for it?
What's politics and common sense got to do with D-Day? At the setting of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
Once you realize he wants to lose, his actions will make more sense to you.
The most patriotic thing that Sunak can do is flee back to California.
The Anniversary is sacrosanct - he should have known that. Shows you how out of touch Sunak is.
and Sadiq Khan... had they exchanged notes?
He did know that but just doesn’t care. He’s off to Ocean Avenue.
Sunak doesn't understand what being British means.
Sunak only cares aboùt sunak, & nothing or no 1 else. FACT.
He cares about making more money
I don't know, heard he cares very deeply about his bank accounts.
It’s not a mess up of the system to walk out on D day, it’s people not caring enough about people in general
It really is incredible that he does not have the ability to see how not attending such a revered day is simply not acceptable. It's so simple. What's he going to do next burn an effigy of David Attenborough??
Don't give them ideas
They don't WANT to win..
Defend Paula Vennells…
Even Old Joe turned up aged 81 and stayed the course.
To be fair he did shat his pants and that’s less shameful than Rishi’s behaviour
Even our poor old cancer ridden King completed his duty. 😢
@@mariebussinger6565I'll take your word for it as you seem to be speaking from experience.
A long journey, too.
@@stephenhill545 hahaha
The Conservatives need to get rid of him lively. He is an absolute disgrace. It won't save them but they might save a bit of face for 5 years time.
But does anyone really want them coming back in 5 years? For what possible purpose? They have made Britain a poor, broken, irrelevant country. What more is there for them to do? Bring back flogging for ungrateful peasants who don't doff their caps smartly enough?
If you take away the emotion, the incompetence, and the anger - it is, genuinely, fucking hilarious
That woman asked a pretty bigoty question. " All these Eastern Europeans where are they coming from?" Er... Eastern Europe.
Not the sharpest tool in the box, must be those same eastern Europeans who are dying by the tens of thousand to defend Europe from the latest version of the Russian empire.
This was not a "mistake", it was an insult. If he has any shred of decency, he'll withdraw from the election and resign.
Sunak showed a remarkable lack of judgement. What an idiot
i like the fact no one stopped him scameron must of been pissing himself .this rishi stabbed him in the back remember
@@andydudley1775Well said, Sirrah.
I've got a very strong feeling that Sunake is getting his own back on the Tory party. Revenge for the sickening way that he feels the Tories have treated him as Prime Minister.
Just a thought, but an extremely strong one.
@@norawright807 nope not the party its us who going to vote him out .

Rishi Soon Out "Don't you DARE, Politicise, my appalling judgement, in abandoning 90 year old, D-Day War Veterans !"
He's got to go, it's a simple as that. He's disgraced him in the most heinous way possible. Sunak just took a huge dump on all the veterans and the soldiers that list their life defending this nation and Europe. Resignation has to be the way or the Tories have to vote to remove him. The public are not having this one bit.

Flaunting one's obesity in the form of "naked unsmoked ham" during a poltical broadcast is as obnoxious as Rishi leaving the commemoration! Whoever said that Conservatives are "thick" - both literally and figuratively - deserves a bunch of flowers for the weekend! I rest my case.
It shows how he does not understand the British physche, how on earth can he ever have been chosen to be the British people, either that or the rest of the conservatives wanted him out, and therefore did not give him any advice.
Catastrophic error of judgement from Sunak
D-Day was planned - but not by Sunak.
It wasn’t “a mistake”. It was utterly intentional. It’s just that him and his advisors are so thick, they got it completely wrong.
Remember, possibly the majority of people killed in WW2 were working class, Sunak admitted to not having any working class friends.
Get him to California already

The major takeaway for me from this video is that whatever is wrong with Boris Johnson is clearly contagious. His former adviser here came across as deluded.
Gordon Brown doesn't think anyone is 'scum'. What absolute bullshit. Brown, whatever else his failings, is one of the most benevolent and well-meaning PMs this country has had in recent years. He doesn't look down on anyone. In fact, he was upset with Gillian Duffy precisely because she appeared to be so racist towards other people. Being anti-racist is about compassion and empathy, quite the opposite of thinking anyone is 'scum'.
It's far worse than the Gillian Duffy moment
Be honest about it. Sunak is not an ethnic Brit. He gives lip service to British History and culture but it is not in his DNA. My father was discharged in 1943 a paraplegic after 14 years in the British army. It is the knowledge of what he did for this country and living with his legacy of that service that gives me "pride and respect" to those who served this nation. It is in my DNA and it is in the DNA of most ethnic Brits. Sunak and a great majority of those of immigrant backgrounds do not have that heritage, or pride in our country and its past achievements; and it shows as seen here. There, I have spoken a 'truism.' I must be a racist and must be condemned.
When Gordon Brown referred to the bigoted woman as a bigotted woman, I thought he was spot on.
What he did wrong was to apologise and grovel. He should have said that people shouldn't complain about immigration and they are wrong because that rhetoric is harmful to the country.
Pandering to bigots has ruined Britain for ever.
There's no comparison with failing to represent Britain at D-Day. Churchill must be turning in his grave.
Being against uncontrolled immigration is not bigotry.
@@OliverGrumittWhen is it uncontrolled? That's just a lie.
@@OliverGrumitt talking about uncontrolled immigration, which has never existed, is bigotry.
HEAR HEAR
Please don't let farage any where near parliament
if Sunak doesn't know what is the right thing to do-hes beyond incompetent!
He left early because he didn’t want to be seen with European leader. The German chancellor spent more time there . Sunak is really bad at his job
I live in a very safe Tory seat - it's been Tory since it's inception and yet, because of Reform, there is a recent opinion poll that shows that Labour have a chance of squeaking the seat because Reform has split the vote. To dismiss Reform is a courageous move for a Tory.
Looks like the Reform Party is working for Labour.
Get lost, look at which was the wind is blowing. REFORM full sail.
@@Jomo-x6n only if you think all the parties left of the Tories are working for the Tories. Reform are looking to take over the Tory party, Farage is being quite open about this.
@@AlexJones-og6rg I'm not sure what you are saying. You think Reform have a chance of winning? (they have the best chance in my constituency but I still don't think they'll win it this time). Or are you disagreeing with me that the Tories are foolish to dismiss Reform (courageous being a synonym for stupid in my original sentence).
A word of warning if you are a supporter of Reform. When you lend your vote to an obvious grifter like Farage - don't be too upset when it turns out he's conning you too. A man who wants immigration down to zero and yet was married to an immigrant isn't really anti-immigration.
Vote reform 🇬🇧
My uncle died on that beach. Fishy Rishi showed imense disrespect to those who gave their lives on that day. His lame excuse was that his itinerary was set weeks ago and he couldn't change it. My question to him would be how many YEARS ago was the 80th anniversary of the D-day Landings set into his itinerary ? It is an event which should have been in his itinerary for years and carved in stone so it could not be changed. The truth is he could no care less.
This was not just a mistake, Rishi has shown a massive disrespect to everyone who was involved in the second world war and their families, this includes most British 50 plus year olds as we have all been changed by that war and the operation overlord, our granddad's endured unimaginable horrors in that conflict and they most likely never got over it fully like my grandad, so for Rishi to not recognise that going to that commemoration should be the greatest honour of his life and to just leave early and get Cameron to stand in for him is the ultimate insult for me. I feel sorry for Rishi if this is the level of compassion he has.
A mad thought, but is this because he thought it was more important to show his hard man credentials to the Brexit base, than to show respect to fallen of all nations? Weird.
That may be the case, playing to the brexit voters by attending the British bit only and snubbing the European parts.
