Just heard that Sunack left the D Day commemorations early, why? He was there representing our country! He wasn't there to score points for himself. Badly advised yet again.

Can’t blame his advisers even if they were stupid enough to give him that advice. It was his decision to leave early and he should have had the sense and judgment to realise that pissing off early was a terrible decision and a really bad look. It’s on him and him alone, and he should have told his advisers they were wrong.

I honestly think that his advisers are working for other parties, nobody can be as bad as they’ve been.

Yes, I have to agree. I believe he could be gone before the GE at this rate. He's a car crash.

What concerns me is that you've got Keiran Mullan trying to get to Bexhill from Crewe by cutting across Wales. Clearly M5 - M40 - M25 - A21 is the better route.

And don't get me started on Chris Clarkson. Who the hell goes from Middleton to Stratford via Bristol? He should be straight onto the M60 at Junction 20, and pretty much he'll be there in not much more than a couple of hours. I know Bristol has a few Bankys and you might bump into Massive Attack, but is it really worth doubling your journey time for?

Well tomorrow I have to drive from Dartford to Glastonbury. The suggested Google pre-route is M25, M3, A303 etc. On a Friday afternoon, fuck that. I'll go M25 to M23, drop down to Brighton then take the A27 west right through Southampton and link back up via Bournemouth. A longer journey but man, that A303 through Stonehenge is a nightmare.

Chris clarkson clearly missed the turning off the M5 whilst thanking his fucking lucky stars that he'd got out of Middleton at all.

When you are PM, it's your job to represent your country at events like this. It's a very bad look to fuck off early, in fact, it's close to an insult.

If there was, for example a military or terrorist emergency requiring his urgent presence at No 10, then, and only then, would it be understandable/forgivable.

If Jeremy Corbyn was PM and had behaved like this the shit storm would have lasted for a month. But, for what it's worth, I think Corbyn would have had more respect.

It just proves how far he is away from the ground.

Most normal people will have watched some element of the D-Day coverage and most normal people will have groaned and turned off the politics.

If he or anybody around him thought that any interview at this point might save him then they're just pulling their own plonker.

He would have gained more political collateral by just staying at the event and acting as PM instead of a party leader.
 
It’s pretty unbelievable how bad Sunak has been so far in this election campaign. I don’t think it’s intentional on his part, this is just his natural personality coming through - he’s completely devoid of empathy and not used to being challenged. His advisors though, it is bordering on sabotage how bad it’s been. It’s simultaneously hilarious yet incredibly worrying…

Yes you can - the gadgie leading the strategy is some clown who won them the Johnson seat by-election based on an anti-Ulez stance and was given god like status as he continued to campaign in by-elections that they lost and now this. Those advisers take their orders from him and don't have the experience nor the bollocks to tell him he is shit at his job

Wow just wow , hope this isn’t true. if this happened then we really do need to look at ourselves and the whole political spectrum. It really isn’t good enough. The thousands who lost their lives so we can have democratic election deserve a whole lot better than this .
For this to happen we’re letting them down and that’s a huge understatement.
I give my head a wobble of where this country is politically.

It’s being aired next Wednesday. Not sure it makes any difference though, even if it was aired tonight live, that’s not an excuse for our PM to leave the D-day commemorations.

To have the temerity to talk about bringing back national service and then do that as well, he’s so unbelievably detached from his core voter base let alone the wider electorate, it’s ridiculous.

The advisers and advice might be shit but Sunak needs to take full responsibility for following it when he really should have known better without anyone telling him. If he can’t make a sensible decision on something so fucking obvious, how is he supposed to make a good decision when it’s more nuanced?

I used to work with Chris Clarkson before he was an MP.
Strange fella. As camp as a row of tents too.
 
Sky News are there just to promote the Tory line and smooth over any issues they have.

Tory spokesperson gives nice explanation why Sunak had to dessert his people on the world page. Interviewer accepts it and allows and also allows the spokesman to explain away their new £5 mil donation from the Diane Abbott, racist wanker.

Obviously there to promote their new giveaway of Family Allowance, you’d think a decent interviewer would’ve really pushed it but Sky seem to have 2 feet firmly in the Tory camp while trying to come across as impartial.

I think it's more that Sky are desperate to have some kind of exciting election to get arses in armchairs come election week and keep the ad men interested
Sunak's faux pas yesterday has pretty much put the idea of any meaningful contest to bed and I for one am counting down the days to the end of this shameless, grifting, incompetent and racist bunch of scoundrels
