Rishi Sunak came under fire from a member of his own Cabinet, as well as Nigel Farage and top figures from other parties in a Friday night election debate, over his decision to leave D-Day commemorations early.
Penny Mordaunt, the Conservative Leader of the House of Commons, said that the Prime Minister's decision to return to the UK for a TV interview was "completely wrong".
Mr Sunak has apologised for the move, after being criticised by the opposition and members of the military. A poll released on Friday afternoon suggested nearly two thirds of the British public thought his decision was "unacceptable".
Matt Frei speaks to ex-Tory MP Rory Stewart about this and his position on the Conservative Party as whole.
