"An East London café-bakery with three sites that has openly backed Labour in the run-up to the general election by stamping ‘Vote Labour’ on every paper bag and coffee cup and previously selling 400 ‘I’m with Corbyn’ mugs. Owned by Rob Green, a Labour member and former social worker, the business presents itself as an extension of the owner’s political and community values—serving high-quality baked goods while advocating for opportunities and protection for the vulnerable. The bakery, which provoked debate when it went meat-free in 2017, reports broadly supportive customers and even posted on Instagram that ‘bread photos will resume on the 13th Dec’ for those who want pastries without slogans." - Hilary Armstrong
