It may be more than four months since Ed Miliband’s much-ridiculed attempt to to eat a bacon sandwich made the headlines, but while out canvassing in Middleton, Ukip leader Nigel Farage couldn’t miss an opportunity to show him how it’s done.
Farage tucked into a bacon sandwich bought from a stall outside Middleton shopping centre, where Ukip is fighting the Heywood and Middleton byelection called following the death of sitting Labour MP Jim Dobbin.
Keen observers will notice the sliced bread of the Farage sandwich arguably makes it an easier handful than Miliband’s roll. The Guardian’s Christopher Thomond caught the moment on camera.
