Ed Miliband: 'I Don't Think I Lost Because of the Bacon Sandwich'
The Former Labour Leader Reflects on His Time in Politics
Six Years On, Ed Miliband Still Stands by His Infamous Breakfast Choice
In a recent interview with LBC, former Labour leader Ed Miliband said he doesn't think he lost the 2015 general election because of the infamous bacon sandwich incident. The photo of Miliband eating a bacon sandwich sparked widespread ridicule and speculation that it had contributed to his defeat.
Miliband said he still believes he made the right choice to eat the sandwich, even though it became a symbol of his campaign's perceived disconnect with ordinary voters. "I think it's important for politicians to be themselves, and for me, that meant eating a bacon sandwich," he said.
Miliband also reflected on his time as Labour leader, saying he was proud of the party's achievements under his leadership. He said he believes Labour is now in a strong position to challenge the Conservative government and win the next general election.
