Stormzy calls Boris Johnson a ‘sinister’ and ‘dangerous’ man as he supports Jeremy Corbyn

Stormzy used his social media platforms in the week to encourage his followers to register to vote. The rapper went on to state he will be voting for the Labour party as he pledged his support for their leader, Jeremy Corbyn, in an impassioned post.

The Shut Up chart-topper told his fans it’s “crucial” they vote on December 12 and added: “One little vote can quite literally tip the scale for what will be the mort important election of out generation.”

Stormzy went on to say: “There were millions of people who thought there ‘one little vote’ didn’t mean s**t and now Trump is the president of America and we are leaving the EU. So your vote really does count.”(sic)

The star said he is choosing to vote for the Labour party as he believes they will “give the power back to the people” and “help those who need a helping hand”.

Speaking about Corbyn, Stormzy said: “I will be registering to vote and I will be voting for Jeremy Corbyn. There are several reasons as to why I’m voting for him – I would be here all day if I began to list them…

It is very very very important that every single person who reads this goes and registers to vote. The deadline is 23:59 tomorrow, the link is in my bio. Do not just scroll past, don’t sit there and think “my one little vote ain’t gonna do anything”—your vote is CRUCIAL. Your “one little vote” can quite literally tip the scale for what will be the most important election of our generation. Your “one little vote” means everything, there were millions of people who thought there “one little vote” didn’t mean shit and now Trump is the president of America and we are leaving the EU. So your vote really does count. I will be registering to vote and I will be voting for Jeremy Corbyn. There are several reasons as to why I’m voting for him – I would be here all day if I began to list them…but in my 26 years of life I have never trusted politicians or relied on them to be the bearers of hope and righteous people that we’ve needed them to be. And for me, he is the first man in a position of power who is committed to giving the power back to the people and helping those who need a helping hand from the government the most. I think Boris Johnson is a sinister man with a long record of lying and policies that have absolutely no regard for the people that our government should be committed to helping and empowering. I also believe it is criminally dangerous to give the most powerful role in the country to a man who has said that the sight of a “bunch of black kids” makes him “turn a hair”, compared women in burqas to letterboxes and referred to blacks people as “picaninnies” with “watermelon smiles”. I think it’s extremely dangerous to have a man with those views as the sole leader of our country. These are all MY views, I don’t care for your love or hate for them. I just think it’s important that we all register and go out and vote. And I think it’s important that we use our vote to make sure that the person who runs our country for the next 4 years is someone committed to doing what is right. GO OUT AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND TRY YOUR BEST TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND WHO IT IS YOU’RE VOTING FOR. THE LINK TO REGISTER TO VOTE IS IN MY BIO. ������������

“But in my 26 years of life I have never trusted politicians or relied on them to be the bearers of hope and righteous people that we’ve needed them to be. And for me, he is the first man in a position of power who is committed to giving the power back to the people and helping those who need a helping hand from the government the most.”

Stormzy claimed it’s “criminally dangerous” to allow Boris Johnson to remain as Prime Minister.

“I think Boris Johnson is a sinister man with a long record of lying and policies that have absolutely no regard for the people that our government should be committed to helping and empowering,” he slammed.

“I also believe it is criminally dangerous to give the most powerful role in he country to a man who has said that the sight of a ‘bunch of black kids’ makes him ‘turn a hair’, compared women in burqas to letterboxes and referred to blacks people as ‘picaninnies’ with “watermelon smiles”.”

He continued: “I think it’s extremely dangerous to have a man with those views as the sole leader of our country.”

Stormzy stated: “These are all MY views, I don’t care for your love or hate for them.”

The Brit Award winner said he wanted to urge people to do “research” to “learn and understand” before voting.

“I think it’s important that we use our vote to make sure that the person who runs our country for the next 4 years is someone committed to doing what is right,” he said.

“GO OUT AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND TRY YOUR BEST TO LEARN AND UNDERSTAND WHO IT IS YOU’RE VOTING FOR.”

Corbyn replied to Stormzy’s post on Twitter and thanked him for his “fantasist effort” in spreading the word and encouraging people to vote.

The Labour leader wrote: “A heartfelt thank you for your fantastic effort in getting people to register to vote. Thank you for helping bring about change to the lives of millions.”

Meanwhile, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Michael Gove hit back at Stormzy’s comments.

In an interview with TalkRadio, Gove dismissed Stormzy as a “far, far better rapper than he is a political analyst”.

The cabinet member continued: “I think we again know that Stormzy, when he took to the stage at Glastonbury wearing a stab vest, he made clear what his political views were then.”

Labour’s shadow education secretary Angela Rayner waded in and told Gove he was “c**p at both” – politics and rapping.

Gove replied using a lyric from Stormzy’s hit song Shut Up: “I set trends dem man copy.”
