Starmer tries to curry favour with electorate through Sunday Brunch tandoori

Labour leader hoped to win over chatshow audiences who might never tune in for a political interview

When Keir Starmer appeared on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch to cook his favourite tandoori salmon recipe, host Tim Lovejoy had a question: “What on earth are you doing here? You should be on the BBC with Laura Kuenssberg.”

“This is so much nicer!” replied Starmer.
