Foreign Secretary James Cleverly scrambled to attend Women’s World Cup final after Rishi Sunak slammed for not going
FOREIGN Secretary James Cleverly has been scrambled to attend the final after criticism Rishi Sunak was not going.
The minister will fly to Sydney to watch England take on Spain tomorrow.
The PM, who has decked out Downing Street in England flags, has resisted calls to go.
Health minister Neil O’Brien said Mr Sunak would “love to be there” but had diary clashes.
He added: “Some of those things he can’t always move.”
FA president Prince William has also faced flak for not attending.
He is believed to have decided to keep down his carbon footprint.
Meanwhile, Queen Letizia of Spain is heading there with her 16-year-old daughter.
LBC broadcaster Nick Ferrari said yesterday: “If it were the blokes, you’d have everybody there.”
