Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch's lunchtime sandwich split
www.bbc.co.uk
The Conservative leader says sandwiches are "not real food" while the PM says they are a British institution.

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.

    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.

      Brexit not only predated Trump, but legitimised his campaign at a time when people were laughing him off as a joke candidate. The brain rot is everywhere, all the time.

      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.
