Jamie Oliver holds eton mess dessert outside Downing Street during protest

Jamie Oliver held up an eton mess outside Downing Street during a protest against the government's decision to postpone the National Obesity Strategy.

The chef said that the dessert was "symbolic of the mess" that the Conservatives have created by delaying the strategy, which would ban multi-buy offers on junk food, by one year.
