Summary of the Metro Newspaper
Metro front page this morning – summarised
The Metro’s front page leads on a truly bizarre story as the prime minister and leader of the opposition appear to get into a spat regarding sandwiches. The paper’s headline notes as the pair continue their ridiculous jibes, the country’s problems are mounting up.
- Ed Miliband has hit back at Kemi Badenoch for her anti-sandwich stance, ten years after he was notoriously photographed struggling to eat one.
- In a recent interview, the leader of the opposition hit out at the idea of sandwiches, saying she doesn’t consider them to be a real food as she declared lunchtime is ‘for wimps’.
- Speaking with The Spectator to mark her first month as leader of the opposition, Badenoch also took aim at people who celebrate Christmas too early, joking they should be fined.
