The Spectator requested the Tory chief — elected to the top of the U.Okay. opposition get together in November — if she ever took a lunch break.
“What’s a lunch break? Lunch is for wimps,” she shot again. “I’ve meals introduced in and I work and eat on the similar time. There’s no time … Generally I’ll get a steak.”
Badenoch added: “I’m not a sandwich particular person, I don’t assume sandwiches are an actual meals, it’s what you have got for breakfast.” The Tory chief went on to verify that she “won’t contact bread if it’s moist.”
That prompted a patriotic pushback from Starmer’s official spokesperson.
Requested by Westminster’s lethal severe journalists concerning the prime minister’s views on sandwiches Thursday, the spokesperson stated: “I feel he was stunned to listen to that the chief of the opposition has a steak introduced in for lunch. The prime minister is kind of pleased with a sandwich lunch.”
They stated the sandwich is a “nice British establishment” — and cited figures from the British Sandwich Affiliation suggesting the meals raises £8 billion a yr for the U.Okay. financial system.
