Seven takeaways from multi-party BBC election debate

Rishi Sunak’s early exit from the D-Day commemorations in France had been the dominant electoral story of the day, ahead of the debate.

Nigel Farage was the first to bring it up. He called the PM’s actions “disgraceful” and said veterans had been deserted.

Liberal Democrat leader Daisy Cooper said it was “politically shameful”, bringing up her grandfather, who was on the Normandy beaches on D-Day.

Conservative minister Penny Mordaunt, was not quite as blunt but did say the PM’s choice to leave prematurely had been “completely wrong”. Unlike other Tories today, she did not go on to speak about Mr Sunak’s commitment to the armed forces and veterans.

As well as coming close to criticising her current leader, she had a swipe at his predecessor and her former Tory leadership rival.

“Even Liz Truss on her worst day still recognised that we need a nuclear deterrent in this country”, she said in an attack on Angela Rayner.

Ms Rayner insisted she was fully behind the UK’s nuclear deterrent and her party’s “triple lock” on it.
