Tory Shadow Minister James Griffith has claimed to Laura Kuenssberg that when Liberal Democrats control local Councils they promote veganism and four day working weeks. Its not clear what he thinks the connection between the two might be.
No doubt the remark will appear to Farage who is primarily a wine drinker but when he does have food to accompany a bottle or three, for example at his favourite restaurant Boisdale, it seems unlikely that its vegan.
Griffith’s remark also displays an ignorance of where, historically, criticism of veganism has come from. Both William Morris and George Orwell were critical seeing vegans as faddists who were trying to change themselves rather than the world.
Suffice to say there is tasty vegan food out there whatever Griffith’s prejudices may indicate.
They typically promote veganism when they take control of the council, they’ve supported four-day weeks which have damaged the interests of local residents.’ James Griffith MP 13th April 2025
