UK opposition leader tries red meat politics on sandwich eater Prime Minister Keir Starmer


Britain’s prime minister and leader of the main opposition party spar almost daily on everything from immigration, taxation to spending.

But this week the two battled over a new subject – whether sandwiches make a good lunch.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch raised the subject in an interview with right-leaning weekly magazine The Spectator by questioning not only whether sandwiches made an adequate lunch but also whether people should take lunch breaks.

“What’s a lunch break? Lunch is for wimps. I have food brought in and I work and eat at the same time. There’s no time … Sometimes I will get a steak,” she told The Spectator.

“I’m not a sandwich person. I don’t think sandwiches are a real food, it’s what you have for breakfast. I will not touch bread if it’s moist.”
