Which UK political biscuit moment deserves a top spot in your personal ranking?
British politics and biscuits have a surprisingly tangled history, from leaders' tea preferences to Newsnight grillings. Which biscuit-adjacent political moment ranks highest for you?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
Gordon Brown's Favourite Biscuit Saga
In 2009, Gordon Brown was asked his favourite biscuit on Mumsnet and famously dodged the question multiple times. A national crisis of dunking proportions.
B
Rishi Sunak's Twix Confession
Rishi declared a love for Twix and Haribo, sparking debates about whether a Twix even counts as a biscuit. The nation remains divided.
C
Theresa May's 'Naughtiest Thing' Wheat Field
Running through wheat fields was her wildest confession, but you just know there was a Hobnob involved somewhere. A peak British political moment.
D
Jeremy Corbyn's Shortbread Standoff
Corbyn refused to name a favourite biscuit, citing the diabetes crisis. Earnest, on-brand, and oddly admirable in a chaotic news cycle.
E
Boris Johnson and the Cake Defence
Partygate's most absurd chapter: was a surprise Colin the Caterpillar a party? Britain's biscuit tin will never feel the same again.
