Rishi Sunak is ready to “work hard” for the country after receiving criticism from Nigel Farage for his decision to leave a D-Day event early.
Farage’s Assertion Against Prime Minister
The Prime Minister has responded to Nigel Farage’s claims that he doesn’t understand British culture.
Sunak’s Contentious Decision
The Reform UK leader, Nigel Farage, accused Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of not understanding British values after he left a D-Day event early.
Sunak Responds to Claims
The Prime Minister responded by insisting that he adored the United Kingdom despite leaving a number of world leaders behind to return early from the D-Day event.
Sunak Grateful for the UK
Sunak, a grandson of two migrants from India and East Africa claimed, “I love this country deeply for what it has done for my family.”
Looking to Repay the Country
“And that’s why I will work my hardest to repay this country for everything that it has done for my family,” Sunak insisted as he faced yet another torrid week of public backlash.
Farage’s Decision to Slam Sunak
Sunak’s comments came after Nigel Farage slammed the Prime Minister’s decision to leave the 80th anniversary of D-Day early.
Sunak “Doesn’t Really Care”
After his decision, which rocked the political world, Farage made it clear that he believed Sunak “doesn’t really care” about British history or culture.
World Leaders Meet to Pay Respects
Sunak left the event, attended by world leaders such as French President Macron and US President Joe Biden, but that wasn’t all.
Rivalry Takes New Turn
Also among the attendees was Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, Sunak’s fierce rival. The difference was that Starmer stayed until the very end.
Farage Takes Opportunity
Given the event’s significance, Sunak’s decision angered the public and politicians, leaving Farage with an opportunity to strike.
“Spectacular” Decision to Leave Early
Farage claimed Sunak’s decision to leave Normandy “spectactularly” revealed his true feelings for his country.
Sunak “Utterly Disconnected”
According to Farage, Sunak “is utterly disconnected by class, by privilege, from how the ordinary folk in this country feel.”
Farage Hiding Behind Sunak’s Mistakes
Farage, a multi-millionaire, may also not be as connected to the British public as he claims, but Sunak’s recent decision makes him seem much worse.
The Farage Effect
Nigel Farage has almost single-handedly catapulted Reform’s popularity in the polls, something Sunak will fear until election day.
Reform Overtake Conservatives in Polls
Since being announced leader of Reform UK, Farage has sent the right-wing Party above the Conservatives in the latest YouGov poll, causing Farage to gloat.
Reform as “The Opposition”
Farage later insisted that Reform UK was now “the opposition” after sitting at 19% compared to the Tories’ 18% in the poll.
Tory Voters Jump Ship
Voters who previously planned to vote Tory most likely jumped ship when Farage announced he would be returning to frontline politics with Reform.
Farage’s Comments on Ukraine
This poll came before Nigel Farage made controversial decisions about the Ukraine war, a country with which many of his voters feel a strong connection.
Farage’s Popularity at Risk
Now, Farage has doubled down on comments that blamed the West for initiating the war in Ukraine, not Russia, which could affect his popularity.
Sunak’s Decrease in Popularity
Sunak, on the other hand, is likely to be one of the most unsuccessful Conservative Prime Ministers in any election, regardless of Farage’s future.
