Sunak avoids questions as Conservatives made stamp duty pledge | Election 2024

The Conservatives have pledged to get rid of stamp duty tax for first-time buyers permanently for purchases up to £425,000, if they stay in power.

Rishi Sunak remains under pressure over his early D-Day exit and did not take planned questions with reporters while campaigning today. Sky's Rob Powell reports.

When he laughed at the that GP was also disgusting. The Tories have no empathy.

[mrakronyahoo]

Cowardice, liars and greed. The tories offer little else

[paulburton]

I'm so glad that country is finally seeing this man and government for what they really are.

[obscurum]

So no accountability for his actions. Just like Boris and every other Tory.

[AnonAnonUK]

Veterans didn't fight for dirty money and cannot be brought!!!

[boristihon]

The truth is that Sunak doesn’t really care of paying respect to this country’ s sacrifices and everyone has just realised that

[DavesGarden]

Sunak insulted the brave people who took part in the D Day landings

[caloricphlogistonandthelum]

Just book your flight to America, Mr Sunak, and let us get on with our (not your) election.

[michaelkavanagh]

No one can be a PM that lets our vets down. Pass on Rishi.

[scotlandthebrave]

It looks like Sunak's been put on gardening leave?!

[OptimisticHominid]

Clearly, a TV interview that won't be broadcast for weeks is WAY more important than showing respect for the dead of ALL the countries that participated in the D-Day landings.

What a pity. I was looking forward to another speech full of rehearsed lines and blatant lies... 🙄

[williambeckham]

Come on England, take your country back.

[michaelcope-fqxp]

He told an interviewer re the subject..not too make it Political...What does he think he made it by flying back for an ITV political interview.!

[janpetersen]

A PM has an army of advisers around him. I would like to know what their advice was in this matter. 🤔

[dianeglanville]

surat running scard what a coward he really is

[bobsmith]

this isn't like a lie about labours tax plans. its straightforward the public can easily see sunak didn't want to waste his precious time attending the ceremony.

[sarapiper]

He can shove his apology were Sun doesn’t shine It’s an insult

[hhzyuww]

I'm an emigrant and I think I know more about D-Day than Sunak, It was wrong for him to be the UK PM in the first place.

[PawsThought]

Cut stamp duty, boost house prices...
