Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Queen Camilla, King Charles III, President of France Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron during the wreath laying at the UK national commemorative event for the 80th anniversary of D-Day, held at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, Thursday June 6, 2024. via Associated Press Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak lays a wreath during a commemorative ceremony marking the 80th anniversary of the World War II D-Day" Allied landings in Normandy, at the World War II British Normandy Memorial of Ver-sur-Mer, Thursday, June 6, 2024. via Associated Press Nigel Farage, leader of the populist Reform U.K. party, labelled him as an “unpatriotic prime minister” while Penny Mordaunt, a Cabinet minister in Sunak’s government said the decision was “completely wrong.” Mordaunt, who is fighting to retain her seat in the naval city of Portsmouth, where the D-Day commemorations began on Wednesday, was visibly emotional about Sunak’s decision to leave early as she sought to label the Labour Party as dangerous on issues of national defense. “I’m from Portsmouth, I have also been defense secretary and my wish, at the end of this week, is that all of our veterans feel completely treasured.” Many political commentators said Sunak’s decision to leave early was a sign that he’s not the most consummate political operator. Craig Oliver, who was communications director to Cameron’s Conservative government, said the problem with Sunak is “he’s accused of not getting what it is to be a prime minister and what his duties are as a prime minister.” All 650 seats in the House of Commons are up for grabs on July 4.
