The Prime Minister said he will not be quitting over the Normandy debacle.
Rishi Sunak has appealed for forgiveness from voters for returning early from last week’s D-Day commemorations in Normandy.The Prime Minister may have hoped he had finally put the row over his premature departure from France behind him – but there was little sign it was going away.
“The reality is I’m not going to stop going, I’m not going to stop fighting for people’s votes, I’m not going to stop fighting for the future of our country.”Nigel Farage may have been one of Mr Sunak’s most strident critics over D-Day but the Reform UK leader found himself on the spot over one of his own candidate’s views on the Second World War.
Ms Braverman, who was sacked last year by Mr Sunak, said she would happily welcome Mr Farage into the Tory fold, insisting there was “not much difference” between his policies and theirs.For his part, Mr Farage – who has spoken of his ambition to carry out a “reverse takeover” of the Conservatives once the election is over – acknowledged there was a certain mutual attraction but made clear he would not be walking down the aisle any time soon.
Sir Keir Starmer and shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson visit Nursery Hill Primary School in Nuneaton, Warwickshire For the Tories, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan accused Labour of pursuing “the politics of envy” and of “punishing children to pay for their plans”.Sir Ed Davey takes a ride on a visit to Thorpe Park following the Lib Dems’ manifesto launch For the smaller parties, their manifesto launch is the one day during the campaign when they can be guaranteed a decent slice of media coverage – and Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has been determined to make the most of it.
