Sunak decides to dodge D Day commemoration event in France leaving Starmer with photo ops representing UK.

it’s noticeable that Sunak seems to be conducting this election campaign on his own, with negligible input from his cabinet members

He's getting terrible advice.
There's no way he should have left.
Labour don't need to do anything (and it's just as well!) to win the election by a landslide.
Just not being the totally inept Tories will sweep them to power.

Was saying something similar the other day. It's like they are setting him up to fail
