Westminster votes to stay in… at the Kennington Tandoori referendum

Ever since the Brexit referendum, it’s been a fact of British political life that the most important decisions, that will have the profoundest impact on society, will not be decided by politicians, but by the people. Therefore it made perfect sense when politicians questioned Westminster’s favourite curry house’s decision to update its menu, that the proposed menu change be put to a referendum.

Sparks flew at the Kennington Tandoori – famous for delivering David Cameron’s final meal at No 10 – earlier this month after the restaurant updated its classics in the name of a street food revolution. Was this still a safe space for Parliamentarians? In order to find out, Mr S duly joined the assembled politicos and hacks heading to the restaurant to cast their vote to see which menu the public would vote for.
