Ed Miliband ate a sandwich, Sunak disrespected every war hero.

Sunak makes a belaboured point of insisting he attended everything British only and just missed the international part of the remembrance. It is the international part that is perhaps the most important and impactful part of the memorial.

[tewrgh]

I can remember when the Tory press eviscerated Michael Foot for years for wearing the wrong kind of jacket at a Remembrance Day wreath laying ceremony

As a remainer and a veteran and somebody who still works in defence, I still feel it is important to try and hang on to the distinction that the UK (regretfully) voted to leave the EU trading bloc and not Europe as a continent. But to see this clown bail on a D Day memorial, at a time when there is a Hitleresque war in Europe, and when even the German chancellor and the very President of the country at war, were present, is just catastrophically humiliating. The lebel of shame I feel can't really be expressed in words. I didn't really think we could sink much lower and yet here we are. I find myself feeling a genuinely vitriolic hatred to this government now. Furthermore how can they bang on about young people having a sense of duty when they clearly cannot exercise that same sense themselves.

Caller “Now leave it alone!”
James “No!”
Best thing I’ve heard in years 👏👏👏
Well done James!
Rishi is a liar, he only cares about how to line his pockets and has disrespected the country time and time again, and now he’s gone too far!

[johnmcandrew]

It just shows that since he married a hugely wealthy wife he has NO idea about how normal people think. I don’t think he disregards it I think it just never occurs to him.

Mr.Sunak .Please resign .You have sacrificed the veterans, king and country for a political broadcast .You are a man without honour .On monday hand in your resignation .

[swanvictor]

just heard his 'Apology'...jesus christ...he repeated the same thing five times like a frigging robot. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY????

[annmariebellamybartholomew]

Totally enjoyable discourse today .The PM must go .

[PrinceOfCats]

We're only 2 weeks in. 4 to go. How much worse can this conservative campaign get?

[PhilJS]

Narcissists don’t understand tone, the super rich don’t understand tone.

[alanbarker]

To the veteran who asked "But what can you do?" The answer is easy DO NOT VOTE CONSERVATIVE!!!

[colinturner]

Sunak like blair wasn’t interested in old battles and old soldiers . Sunak with his 600 million has no interest other than himself .

[brianferguson]

At long last ! A British Prime Minister apologises sincerely for having left Europe ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[finnjones]

My goodness, if those poor ancient ex servicemen can travel and last for the duration how dare the PM do a runner.

[emiebex]

Why anyone would think Rishi Sunak is qualified to lead anything much less The UK is beyond comprehension. 🇬🇧

[bannjaxx]

I didn't think I'd see a worse campaigner than Theresa May, but Sunak is on another level.

[marblackCanada]

Just listening to Sunak, no emotion in his voice at all.🤔🇨🇦

[arabellacox]

Supporting Veterans? YOU’VE GOT A NERVE! THAT'S WHY MOST ARE LIVING ON THE STREETS WITH PTSD!

[larryfroot]

Sunak doesn't get history. He doesn't get us.
