LadBaby’s I Love Sausage Rolls, a spoof of Joan Jett’s 1982 hit I Love Rock’n’Roll, has beaten Stormzy’s Own It to the festive top spot. In 2018, they pipped Ariana Grande and Ava Max to the Christmas No 1 with We Built This City on Sausage Rolls, a riff on Starship’s 1985 single. More than 823,000 parcels were distributed through food banks between March and September 2019, the busiest period on record. Although perhaps not vegan: I Love Sausage Rolls makes one explicit, if unexpected political point on the matter of the meat-free pastry snacks that have proven a sales winner for Greggs this year. Summer is a really important time for them – that’s when their food banks are really depleted because there’s no school.
