The Conservative Party suffered an awkward blunder in its first election broadcast.
Rishi Sunak’s party shared a three-minute clip on social media that outlined key Tory policies and attacked Labour’s plan, but viewers were quick to point out an issue in the footage.
A shot of the Union Jack actually shows the flag flying upside down – a form of distress signal.
“The Union flag… it’s upside down… meaning ‘we’re in distress,’” Carol Vorderman pointed out.
Another person added: “The Union flag upside down is a distress signal. Sounds about right… You’re having a bad one aren’t you?”
