Lunch breaks are a workers' rights issue. It sounds frivolous but it's important if the prospective PM has a 'lunch breaks are for wimps' mentality.
Take your breaks, people. Don't work any longer or take on any more responsibility than you are being compensated for.
This.
But also, it's incoherent, bellicose nonsense, plucked out of thin air to sound red-blooded and anti "woke". Unfortunately we have a media culture in which it's considered impolite for journalists to push back against blatant and unmitigated horseshit, so they lap this stuff up. What does she do when the steak is brought to her if she doesn't stop to eat it from a plate? Does she just chew away at it from her hands during briefings or cabinet meetings or when working at a laptop, dripping and smearing beefy juices all over the ivory damask, Rishi's bouclé armchairs, or SamCam's yellow velvet sofa? Or does a servant have to cut it up in little pieces and pop it into her mouth in between lies?
It's boringly technocratic that Starmer has a repertoire of two sandwiches for lunch, and it's much more conducive to workaholism and al desco eating than Badenoch's made-up steak, but even an association with the man well on the way to becoming the most despised prime minister in living memory isn't enough to kill the sandwich, or the dread Meal Deal, as a British lunch convention. If I were her, I wouldn't pick a war on sandwiches as the hill to die on.
