Jeremy Corbyn meets grime star JME in cringey video about voter registration
Labour leader went for brunch with the musician ahead of ‘secret party’ in support of hapless leftie
JEREMY Corbyn met up with the grime star JME yesterday for a cringeworthy video about voter registration.
The Labour leader went for brunch with the musician ahead of a “secret party” in support of the hapless leftie.
A clip from the discussion between the pair was posted on Facebook by the website , with Mr Corbyn leaning nonchalantly against the wall.
The MC explained to the 67-year-old why young people don’t vote ahead of the June 8 election, admitting he himself had never cast a ballot.
He also took over Mr Corbyn’s Snapchat yesterday to urge more potential voters to register, later tweeting: "Remember, don't just vote for someone in recommendation. Do your own research. But make sure you register."
In the video Mr Corbyn tells JME – real name Jamie Adenuga – that “political change doesn’t always come from politicians”.
It comes after a website was set up at , which offers people the chance to win tickets to a secret event if they register to vote.
