An LBC caller has suggested he would be “put off” voting for Sir Keir Starmer because he is “vegetarian, but not a vegan”.

Vegan caller Simon told presenter Iain Dale that he is typically a Labour voter, but isn’t convinced about the opposition leader’s “character”.

“What puts me off Labour a little bit is the fact that Starmer is a vegetarian but not a vegan,” he said.

“It says something to me about his character, that kind of sitting on the fence thing. I don’t know why he just doesn’t go the whole way and become vegan.”
