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.
