Mainly sharing because of how insane Badenoch is. ‘Shall I tell everyone I skip lunch and just eat steak at my desk? Yes, that’ll make me seem relatable.’

EDIT: Huh, the headline in the article is different from the one on the homepage, so now I seem insane. Touché, Kemi.

    “I don’t think sandwiches are a real food, it’s what you have for breakfast.”

    So breakfast isn’t a real meal either? 😭

    Subtle hint that she’d like to remove the right to a lunch break at work? Wouldn’t surprise me with a Tory.

        Why is it that every single one of her opinions has to be an expression of hatred? Does she actually like anything, or is it simply a matter that she doesn’t hate everything.

    Dominic Raab hit the headlines when the then Tory minister’s sandwich preferences were revealed by a former member of his staff.

    She told the Daily Mirror he ordered the same lunch every day from Pret A Manger.

    “He has the chicken Caesar and bacon baguette, SuperFruit pot and the Vitamin Volcano smoothie, every day. He is so weird. It’s the Dom Raab Special.”

    Somehow that makes me dislike him slightly less.

    Hi, weird Yankee here. What the fuck? Who’s Badenoch and what do they mean?

    Edit: to be clear, I’ve read the article, but it I’ve been totally bamboozled. Did y’all get infected with the brain rot from over here?

      Kemi Badenoch is the leader of the Conservative party, and Leader of the Opposition. Why she’s talking about sandwiches no one knows, though brain rot is a definite possibility.

      She’s not trying to make any kind of point. She’s literally talking about sandwiches and her hatred of them. She legitimately feels that this is something that should be made public and that she needs to tell everyone about. She’s nuts.

      She’s leader of the opposition because the only viable candidate managed to accidentally knock himself out of the race (not a good candidate, merely a moderately viable candidate). All that was then left was an insane conspiracy theorist, who at one point seriously suggested illegal immigrants had developed the ability to teleport, and her. The insane conspiracy theorist would probably be the safer choice.

      If she’s still around in 6 months time I’ll be surprised.

          Cleverly. He may be a smug supercilious prat, probably not an election winner either, but he at least did have some sort of clue about how to do the actual job.

          Unfortunately for him he tried some political maneuverings and ended up shooting both his own feet off. Effectively organizing 20 whole people was apparently a task beyond him and his running mate.
