Jeremy Corbyn appears on the cover of music magazine NME in a bid to woo voters
The 68-year-old will follow in the footsteps of Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift
JEREMY Corbyn will follow in the footsteps of Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Rihanna this week in his latest bid to woo voters.
The Labour leader, 68, will be on the cover of music magazine NME on Friday.
In the surprising interview with the music mag, Corbyn said his favourite song was Imagine by John Lennon and revealed he listens to Classic FM and BBC Radio 3 at home.
Asked who he preferred out of Britpop rivals Blur and Oasis, Corbyn replied: “I’m going to plump for Oasis, but I know this will immediately divide the audience, so what I should have said was, ‘I’ll refer it to a focus group to decide,’ but I’m not keen on focus groups.”
He also claimed to like classical, folk, jazz and world music, mentioning composer Gustav Mahler and folk singers Joan Armatrading and Joan Baez.
It comes after Corbyn was given the kiss of death – an endorsement from Russell Brand.
He was also grilled about other issues, including student fees and the NHS, by the mag.
Corbyn joined other party leaders and Home Secretary Amber Rudd for a TV debate last night, after announcing he would take part at the last minute.
But his bid to wrongfoot Theresa May backfired as he was pummelled by all six opponents.
