What Westminster eats for lunch

Dominic Raab has found himself the subject of much mockery today after one of his aides allegedly told an undercover reporter about his rather repetitious lunch habits:

‘He has the chicken Caesar and bacon baguette, superfruit pot and the vitamin volcano smoothie, every day. He is so weird. It’s the Dom Raab Special.’

Happily, Mr S’s mole reports that he has not been put off – he was spotted back in Pret this lunchtime. Still, just so he is not alone – Mr S has reached out to MPs, ministers, SpAds and staffers to discover the eating habits of Westminster’s big beasts:

Sadiq Khan: The Mayor of London varies his lunches – in part because he is so often our about – but he always tries to have a fruit salad.

Sajid Javid: He’s a ‘huge fan of fish and chips down the Laughing Halibut’

Matt Hancock: ‘He has anything really. He’s always keen to try new things so has whatever.
