Rishi offered £1m to go vegan for a month

A VEGAN group has challenged Rishi Sunak to go on a plant-based diet for a month – and said it will donate £1million to charity if he accepts.

Generation Vegan (GenV) has urged the Prime Minister to ‘consider our sincere offer and lead the UK towards a more sustainable and promising future’. The stunt coincides with ‘Veganuary’, when many people give up meat and dairy during January for the sake of animal welfare or to help curb climate change. Appearing on LBC, GenV boss Naomi Hallum said some world leaders have already pledged to cut down on meat and dairy.

Mr Sunak was yet to indicate whether he would take up the challenge last night.
