Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing growing criticism from both opposition leaders and his own party members after leaving the D-Day commemoration events in Normandy prematurely yesterday. Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, and Matthew Pennycook, Shadow Housing Minister, have both condemned Sunak’s actions, calling it a “dereliction of duty.”
Davey took to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to express his disapproval. “One of the greatest privileges of the office of prime minister is to be there to honour those who served, yet Rishi Sunak abandoned them on the beaches of Normandy,” Davey wrote. “It is a total dereliction of duty and shows why this Conservative government just has to go.”
