Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was met by laughter from veterans during an Armed Forces Day visit on Saturday (29 June).
The Conservative leader, who was recently criticised for leaving a D-Day event early, listened to stories from the veterans on a campaign visit in his North Yorkshire constituency.
Enjoying tea and cake at Ellerton Lakeside Cafe, near Northallerton, Mr Sunak told them: “If we’re re-elected, we’re actually going to have a veteran’s bill, we’re going to pass our first ever veteran’s bill in Parliament.
