Keir Starmer Defends Sandwiches Against Badenoch

In a recent clash, Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch dismissed sandwiches as 'not real food' and claimed 'lunch is for wimps', stating she often brings in meals to eat while working. This prompted a strong defense from Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who emphasized the sandwich's status as a 'great British institution' that contributes £8 billion to the UK economy. Badenoch's comments, which included a preference for steak over sandwiches, sparked backlash from the public and media, with notable figures voicing their discontent. Starmer's spokesman expressed surprise at Badenoch's disdain for sandwiches and confirmed the PM's enjoyment of tuna sandwiches. The controversy highlights differing views on workplace culture and food choices among political leaders. Badenoch's remarks also reflect her approach to leadership, likening her role to a 'start-up' and emphasizing the need for immediate results.
