Rishi Sunak is struggling to recover after his blunder during the D-Day commemorations.

The Prime Minister left the commemorations early, deciding to return home to continue his election campaign instead of joining other world leaders to pay their respects.

He’s apologised for the decision, saying that “on reflection, that was a mistake and I apologise.”

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that for a period of time over Saturday morning into Sunday afternoon, it looked like he might be standing down.

He said that it was a terrible misjudgement, and it’s very difficult to see how he can recover from the blunder.
