Sir Keir Starmer was spotted at Carrow Road as Norwich took on Sunderland.
The Labour leader watched as the Canaries defeated the Black Cats 1-0 this afternoon, as Josh Sargent scored the only goal on what was a wet and cold afternoon.
Sir Keir, who is an Arsenal fan, joined former Norwich City chairman and ex-shadow chancellor Ed Balls in the directors box.
The leader of the opposition’s trip to Norfolk came only days after his shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves visited the region and comes as political parties prepare for an election later this year.
Delia Smith, the Canaries’ joint majority shareholder, has been a prominent Labour supporter over the years.
However, in 2022 she criticised Sir Keir and the party, describing it as "not any good" and the leader as "boring".
Norwich’s victory against Sunderland could not be described as boring, although it was far from a classic.
The win boosts the team’s play-off hopes before they travel to Middlesbrough for their next game on Wednesday.
