The Energy Secretary was famously photographed eating a bacon sandwich in 2014, when he was Labour leader.
Ed Miliband has said Kemi Badenoch needs to discover the “delights” of a bacon sandwich after the Tory leader dismissed them as not “real food”.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer hit back, saying he is “quite happy with a sandwich lunch” and is partial to a “tuna sandwich and occasionally a cheese toastie”, his official spokesman said in response. Number 10 defended the sandwich as a “great British institution” which brings in £8 billion a year to the UK economy.
The then-Labour leader was widely considered to look awkward in the image. It was used on the front page of a newspaper the next year during the 2015 General Election, which Labour lost. As recently as last month, he was mocked in the House of Commons for the sandwich incident.
