Lily Allen has posted a dramatic video of her appearing moved by the Labour Party manifesto.
The document was released yesterday with leader Jeremy Corbyn hailing its “radical” and “ambitious” vision.
Allen posted a video of herself on the Tik Tok video app, apparently emotional about Labour political proposals.
The outspoken pop star would have appeared to use effects available on the app to simulate her crying.
She remarks in the short video: “Guys, I’ve just watched the Labour manifesto.”
In a separate post she concludes: “I think it’s the best manifesto I’ve ever seen.”
While appearing to weep in the video, the Tik Tok app shows that a filter was used to simulate her tears.
The manifesto includes plans to tax the very highest earners to fund investment in public services.
There are also proposals to renationalise some services, including Royal Mail.
The ability of Labour to raise their stated sums by tax have been branded “quite doubtful” by the Institute of Fiscal Studies.
What is in Labour’s manifesto and is it a winner?
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.
