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.

[Smithy]

Do I agree that someone who earned every penny is his bank account can support a political leader of their choice? Hmmmm gonna say yes

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.

[Tom4784]

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

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

[Shaun]

Ed Sheeran? *switches to the Lib Dems*

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.

But it's all relative and your example is exactly the same.

Yes, it's easier for Ed Sheeran to donate millions to charity, because compared to what he's earning he can more than afford to.

Just as it's easy for that little old lady to done £1, because compared to the money she had she can more than afford to lose just £1.

With basic state pension 122 a week she may have all of £10 a week left over as disposable income

so she gives 10% to charity (for example)

the rough equiv of sheeran putting his hand in his wallet and donating 6 million quid

now I am sure he may give money to charity as part of a tax plan and as part of his PR but id wager he aint done that

the point is the little old lady CANT afford to give but she does

You just described 10 of her good pounds as "disposable income" so she can definitely afford £1. That is the point.

Yes, the equivalent of a few mill for Ed, hence why I said it's all relative. Both are donating their disposable income that it doesn't hurt them to lose.

Doesn't matter, it's disposable.

Stop deflecting.

People give to charity what they can afford, and don't if they can't.
It's all relative.

I was just pointing out the ridiculousness of your respect for an old lady donating what she can afford and no respect for a millionaire donating what he can afford. They're both the same.
