The Grime 4 Corbyn campaign group has claimed a Tory win at the General Election could lead to people “dying from austerity cuts” and “freezing to death in their homes”.

Co-organiser Sofia Mason, 34, described the Tory Party as “racist and harmful for our communities” and urged voters to opt for Labour in December.

The Grime 4 Corbyn campaign group was inspired by grime artists expressing their support for the Labour leader at the 2017 election, and works with musicians to put on events.

Ms Mason, who grew up in east London, said that the upcoming election’s importance “can’t be overstated”.

She said Mr Corbyn was more trustworthy than other politicians because of the “consistency with which he has held his integrity and beliefs”.

She described him as the “exact opposite” of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who she said people viewed as “a liar” and “self-serving”.

Ms Mason said: “It can’t be overstated that at the micro-level for families and communities, we are talking eviction. We are talking more and more homelessness.

“We are talking people dying from austerity cuts, from cuts to their disability benefits.

Stormzy and grime DJ Logan Sama are among the group’s high profile supporters.

And rappers Akala, Kano and Professor Green were among 39 artists who signed a letter in support of Mr Corbyn earlier this week.

She added: “Tories are racist and harmful for our communities.

“Since the last election we have seen the Tories’ true colours with the Windrush atrocities and the tragedy of Grenfell burning to the ground.

“It is clear they don’t care about our lives.”

The Grime 4 Corbyn website is hosting four hours of live streamed radio sets on Friday, with the line-up expected to feature Durrty Goodz, Manga Saint Hilare and Lioness.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
