Labour leader Keir Starmer admits to eating chicken after 30 years as a vegetarian

Controversial Confession

Labour leader Keir Starmer has stirred up controversy by revealing that he indulged in a box of chicken, citing hunger as the reason for his unexpected meal choice.

Vegetarian Lifestyle

Starmer, who has publicly identified as a vegetarian for three decades and delayed his children from consuming meat until the age of ten, made the surprising admission in a book by his friend Tom Baldwin.

Finger Lickin' Good

Despite his long-standing commitment to a meat-free diet, Starmer found himself eating the finger lickin' treats after a tiring day on the campaign trail, receiving a box of chicken to enjoy on his train journey from Sheffield to London.

Reactions and Responses

While some have criticized Starmer's decision, others, like Richard McIlwain from the Vegetarian Society, commend any effort to reduce meat consumption, even if it includes occasional slip-ups.

Starmer, who has transitioned to including fish in his diet, acknowledged the one-off deviation from his vegetarian lifestyle.

Unlikely Meal

Comparing the incident to Ed Miliband's infamous bacon sandwich mishap, insiders in Westminster humorously noted the irony of a vegetarian Labour leader enjoying a chicken meal.

Upcoming Appearance

Despite the uproar, Starmer is set to appear on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, where he will not be preparing chicken dishes, as confirmed by Trending In The News.
