GB News People's poll finds a QUARTER of Brits think worse of Sunak after D-day 'mistake'

A survey conducted by People Polling found that 24 per cent of Brits think worse of Rishi Sunak after he left the D-Day remembrance ceremony early.

It did not affect the views of 40 per cent of those surveyed, who thought negatively of him already.

One per cent of people said it improved their perception of him.

Sunak told Sky News this evening that he "regrets" his decision to leave D-Day commemorations early saying: "I was incredibly sad to have caused people hurt and upset, that was the last thing that I wanted to do. I hope people can find it in their hearts to forgive me."

He also said he has spoken to veterans about his party’s work to help them.

The same polling showed that Labour maintains a 20-point poll lead over the Conservatives, with Tory voting intention down to 19 per cent and Labour on 39 per cent.

After the return of Nigel Farage as leader of Reform, the party has surged to 17 per cent - just two percentage points away from the Tories.

It also showed that just four per cent of Brits think that the jurisdiction of foreign courts like the EHCR should be prioritised above the security of the UK, compared to 42 per cent who think the security of the UK should be the first priority.

And just eight of those surveyed suggested that the planned cuts to National Insurance contributions would make them more likely to vote Conservative.

A further eight said it would make them less likely to vote Conservative.

Some 51 per cent said the policy would do nothing, given they had firmly decided they would not vote Conservative.

The survey, conducted by People Polling on June 12, spoke to 1,234 UK voters.
