Ed Sheeran has praised Jeremy Corbyn because he believes the Labour leader 'cares about other people'.

The musician revealed in a tell-all interview that while he had never put himself 'behind' Mr Corbyn, he said that he loves 'everything he's about'.

'I have political views, but nobody buys my records going "I wonder what he thinks about politics?" Nobody. People buy my records to put on while they make out,' Sheeran told The Sunday Times Culture Magazine. Also if i did they would not buy my records and make me money.

'I love Corbyn. I love everything Corbyn is about. And I feel people thought that, because I didn't put myself behind him, I wasn't a Corbyn supporter.

In July, the Glastonbury headliner was pushed to reveal how he voted in the 2016 EU referendum.

He told NME: 'I don't get involved in politics. But I will say one thing: I was born a European and I ******ing love being a European. You can probably guess my answer from that.' (even though the referendum was about the EU and nothing about being European geographically)

He also emphasised that was 'a big Corbyn fan' and not a Tory during the same interview.

It comes after the 26-year-old pop star received an MBE from Prince Charles and the Royal Family.


The Yorkshire-born said that while he had not been asked to perform and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, he would be more than happy to perform.

Do you agree with Sheeran, who has about 4 houses around the world last count, that socialism is the way forward?

Someone should tell him how much tax he'll pay under Corbyn, then we can watch as he moves to LA.

Exactly, you'd almost think that all rich people had to support the Tories and couldn't have their own individual thoughts, just like how a working class person can support the Tories.

Personally I don't know how much Ed Sheeran really "loves" Corbyn's policies, but it's well known that most people in Showbiz are left wing so I don't get why LT seems to be so shocked at a rich person supporting the Labour?

I think it's great, so long as he pays his 98% tax, that's what top rate earners were paying under the Labour government in the 70s, which is when Corbyn was at his Reddest.

But it’s not the 70s, those aren’t the tax rates and ed wasn’t even born then? But thanks for the history lesson

No, but you understand the thread of what I was saying, surely. You're an intelligent person.

Those aren't the tax rates now because we've been under a right facing government for years... and I include our time under Blair and Brown in that.

Lets look at what Corbyn was doing in the 70s... politically that is. He had a seat with Haringey Council so he was only involved in local politics, making sure local stuff ran smoothly. He wasn't running, or having anything to do with the treasury.

As for him taking us back to the 70s. Were those the times when you could come through uni debt free and walk straight into a guaranteed a good job? Where they the times when houses only cost 3 times your gross salary? and were those the times when if you were on the lower pay scale, you could rent a council house; a house you could keep for life without having to pay exhorbitant letting fees and worry about being kicked out after a year? Were those the days when a two parent family could afford to have one parent not going to work so they could raise their children? The times when utility bills were kept in line with wages and when people didn't use food banks and even the poor could afford to travel by train?

This is what Corbyn means when he says he wants to take us back to the 70s and its a darn sight better than the Tory's who have taken us back to Victorian times.

Were you there - doesn’t sound like it. You speak as though going to uni was the norm in the seventies when it wasn’t. Maybe it was in your world but not for the majority. Most people worked their way up into good jobs rather than walking straight into them with their nice free degrees at the taxpayers expense.

Most things worth having don’t come free or easy so why should a uni degree and the accompanying lifestyle be any different. School leavers struggled to get jobs even in London in the seventies so not exactly the free ride you seem to be implying. Just Sounds like those with a sense of entitlement want their nice free uni degrees with all the benefits but none of the pain.

Well said! I'm sick of hearing this 'take us back to the 70s claptrap' it's just anothe media driven mantra that some who are too ignorant will swallow if they aren't clever enough to research the fact that that is utter balls... What was the tory party like in the 70s? Old heath, what a barrel of laughs it was once he got in! predecessor to the milk snatcher and it was downhill from there .

He writes his own songs and is a big star in the Music Industry despite not looking conventional in the Music world.

His Music is not my favourite, but he is talented, and has definitely worked for his money.

worked for his money?

So by that reckoning a Nurse on say 30K a year has also worked for that amount of money?

what an insult

and hardly very socialist of you

[Tom4784]

Yeah, Brown and Blair were just Tories dressed in red.

Evil New Labour (Blair /Bush destroying Iraq)
is nothing like Labour now

[smudgie]

His political leanings make no difference to his talent.
He comes across as a lovely fella, helping young talent etc, maybe he is very charitable with his money as well.

As i always say its easy to be charitable when you have everything you could possibly want, have no bills or debt and literally do not know what to do with it all

i would hope that we all would be incredibly charitable otherwise what a vile person you would be


Im more impressed when i see an old lady put a pound in a cancer tin tbh

It does us all good to be charitable.
I can't fault anyone just because they have loads of money, anymore than I could if they had less.

when you cant pay bills, buy anything nice for yourself, get public transport and canbt heat your home

surely you can see a difference there?

Being charitable should be a given when all of the above are not an issue

not a virtue

Of course there is a difference between being skint or having money, but if someone that has money gives to charity then I can't fault them.
I don't hold with all this poor people vote labour and toffs vote Tory either.
Surely you vote for the policies or what you think is right at the time.

Wait a minute. Are you talking about the same guy who was homeless a few years ago, but wrote a song to benefit a place for *****s to get help? Surely the homeless shouldn't help people? Oops, now he's a millionaire, he must automatically change all his points of view to reflect the elite. Hmm...

I agree with this. There are plenty of people who are well off through honest means and they tend to be the most charitable.

I think what LT is trying to suggest is, if we had a Corbyn government, nobody would be wealthy. That the wealthy would have to give back their wealth to the needy and live more humble lives. Of course this is ridiculous but this is the sort of thing Right wing propaganda has been spewing since Corbyn became a 'thing'.

More like a fad! And we all know how lasting fads are. Blink and they’re gone.
