It’s the office tradition that put one of the final nails in the coffin of Boris Johnson ’s premiership.
When he was allegedly “ambushed by a cake” at a birthday party at Number 10 in June 2020 he was found to have broken Covid lockdown restrictions, and was fined.
Oh how he must wish he had already heard the recommendation of UK food tsar Professor Susan Jebb who this week declared cakes and the tradition of bringing them to the office to celebrate birthdays should be scrapped.
