Newsnight analyse why Rishi Sunak left the D-Day commemorations early, and it's not pretty
Nicholas Watt, "D-Day 1984 Margaret Thatcher was there. 1994 John Major was there. 2004 Tony Blair was there. This afternoon Rishi Sunak was there but then he wasn't there"
"We have the world leaders at D-Day with Macron, Scholz and Biden - we don't have Rishi Sunak"
"And who is meeting Zelenskyy? That would be Keir Starmer"
"Why was Rishi Sunak not there? Paul Brand confirmed that Rishi Sunak came back to do an interview with him to say that he wasn't a liar"
Kirsty Wark, "The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak came back from the D-Day commemeration to do an interview to try and clear his name"
Tim Montgomerie, "I don't understand it.. If he came back for a political interview, from the D Day commemorations, that is indefensible"
"I rang all of the contacts I could in Downing Street and I got no response. I don't think they know how to defend what happened"
"It's extraordinary that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, it's political malpractice of the highest order"
Kirsty Wark, "It's not Prime Ministerial, is it?"
Tim Montgomerie, "It's not dignified"
