Farage criticizes Sunak for being disconnected from British culture

Nigel Farage criticized Rishi Sunak for leaving D-Day commemorations early, accusing him of being disconnected from ordinary people and not understanding "our culture." Farage's comments sparked backlash, with Labour's Shabana Mahmood calling it a "classic Nigel Farage trick." Sunak apologized for his early departure, acknowledging his mistake and expressing pride in having a British Asian in government. Despite criticism, Sunak defended his decision, stating that his itinerary was planned weeks in advance and he had attended other events with veterans. Farage's remarks were seen as divisive by Labour leader Keir Starmer, who rejected Farage's criticism. The incident highlighted tensions around patriotism, cultural understanding, and political maneuvering within the UK political landscape.
