About this episode
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.
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. With me Conservative Home’s Henry Hill, Boris Johnson’s former director of communications Guto Harri and Labour’s Jonathan Ashworth.
Produced by Calum Fraser, Rob Thomson, Nick Jackson and Annie La Vespa
