“I was assured no one would even notice,” explains Sunak. “Why can’t we all just focus on the fifteen minutes or so that I was there?”

*After being questioned about his absence, Sunak told reporters, “I have a team of people who look after this sort of thing, and they explained that my distinct lack of presence and gravitas in any situation would mean I could easily slip away unnoticed.*
*“Yes, this has ultimately proven to be a mistake, but now the opposition is trying to make a big thing out of me being the sort of person who calls for all young people to give a year of their lives to national service while I couldn’t give more than a few minutes or so to our fallen heroes.*
*“Which is incredibly unfair. It’s entirely accurate, obviously, but also incredibly unfair because it makes me look bad during an election cycle.*
*“Why can’t we all just focus on the fifteen minutes or so that I was there?”*

Such an own goal. Look smart, smile and wave. All you have to do so you can virtue signal.
It’s the bread and butter of a tory leader and he fucked it up.
Basing your reelection campaign on conscription then skipping out of a ceremony to pay respects to conscripts to focus only on yourself is an absolutely wild move
I’ll get down voted but I actually don’t give a shit he was absent, like I don’t care if my prime minister wants to waste time at pointless ceremonies or not. I wouldn’t care if he/she never went to this or any coronations or anything else as long as they did a mostly decent job
Why bother mentioning it, our next leader going to be indecisive stammer or Milky Milky Farage..
I knew he’d crash and burn, I’m just surprised he’s managed to crash and burn on an international stage so spectacularly.
This must surely be someone inside trying to sabotage him. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no Conservative voter but surely at some point someone would have said this is not a good idea to leave early.
He left early to do a poxy itv interview with some journalist while David Cameron stood on the stage with world leaders for a photo op. What was he thinking.
I’m glad as I don’t want Rishi winning, but this must have been a sabotage.
At this point in time, I really do think that his ‘advisors’ are playing a cruel prank on him to see just how feckless they can make him be – someone is going to win an absolute fortune on the No.10 bingo right after the election. What’s even worse is that one of his ‘advisors’ was apparently his best man at his wedding.
15 mins is about the attention span I’d expect from this grinning goon, so what did anyone think he was likely to be like when placed on a Ceremonial stage that he is largely clueless about?
As a PM who lost the vote, got it anyway, fucked things up and is about to be out on his arse he might have wanted to avoid lots of pictures of other world leaders smirking and giving pitying looks.
Is he talking about the D-Day thing or his legacy as Prime Minister?
The ammunition he gave everyone to undermine his conscription policy when he couldn’t be arsed to stay for the whole memorial is incredible. “My team assured me” mate you’re not asking mum on christmas if you can go upstairs to play your new fucking playstation, absolute goblin of a PM
0 seats!
0 seats!
0 seats!
Get them out, let the Tories burn.
All the things he’s said and done, this is probably the one thing I couldn’t give a shit about
At this point he’s surely doing this on purpose to fully decapitate the Tories for years to come. Surely no one can be this stupid, its like he really has channeled his inner Will from Inbetweeners to make the daftest moves possible
They will not only notice, they will remember. I had 3 male relatives: My father and his two brothers who I never saw as they died in the war. I miss my ‘unknown to me’ uncles. Sunak’s behaviour was despicable.
The biggest fuck up of most, if not all Tory fuckups. Couldn’t spend another hour or two trying to pretend to be human eh?
Is there actually any chance he could actually lose his seat in this election, or would a Blue Mannequin win in that constituency. Now that would be funny
This is a non story. He would’ve been in the same situation for cancelling the debate.
Sunak didn’t want to be present in the final photo with Macron and Biden. Shaking hands.
Well, big brains decision, to leave earlier. Bigger than an olive.
I feel he doesn’t understand the true meaning of being a prime minister and how he represents himself on the world stage.
Almost as if he only became prime minister and involved in politics because his policies greatly benefit his and his family’s businesses.
Ultimately it wont matter. I hardly think people are going to vote Labour because the Tory leader decided to leave early
It looks bad, the opposition have a field day with it but its not what voters care about
The morale of this sorry tale is don’t vote Tory.
They are self serving and place their own survival over duty to country.
Yes, your effete callousness and disregard for that sacrifice were wiped away with that statement. You wiped your arse with the horror, pain, and suffering that took place that day.
These pricks do this shit because they know it is forgotten after the news cycle for the day has turned. Despicable to say the least. That’s the PM of the UK and he’s a clown with money.
Surely this is parody?! He can’t be this thick, can he?
This guy. It feels like he just wanted to become PM to add to a list of personal vanity projects, or something
