Jeremy Corbyn has pledged to eat more vegan food – and he has chosen a great time to do it. No longer pasty and bland, the animal-free diet is in the midst of a junk-food revolution
It will come as a surprise to nobody, but some of Jeremy Corbyn’s best friends are vegan. At an event this week for the cosmetics chain Lush, which has been campaigning against animal testing for the past 20 years, the Labour leader was asked by one of the audience whether he would consider converting his decades-long vegetarianism into veganism. “The food has got a lot better – one of my close relatives has just become a vegan and I went to her house for dinner and it was absolutely brilliant,” he replied. “So, I’m going through the process, all right? I won’t go any further than that.”
