The £3.90 fry-up Welsh politicians can enjoy that makes a mockery of plans to make us eat healthily

This is the tray of sausages, bacon, hash browns, fried eggs and other fried breakfast staples laid out for Senedd Members, including Welsh Government ministers, and their staff, every morning in Wales' Parliament. The full breakfast is available for a bargain £3.90 with the help of a healthy taxpayer subsidy.

The breakfast, which is provided by the taxpayer-funded body in charge of the Senedd, is there for ministers and their staff to enjoy at the subsidised rate even as they consider a wide variety of plans to make it more difficult and more expensive for the public to eat foods deemed to be high in salt, fat or sugar.

Plans that have been consulted on in Wales include restricting price reductions of unhealthy food including multibuys, like meal deals, making stores move less healthy food away from prominent locations and creating categories of products deemed to be high in fat, salt or sugar.
