Ed Sheeran has praised Jeremy Corbyn because he believes the Labour leader 'cares about other people'.
The musician revealed in a tell-all interview that while he had never put himself 'behind' Mr Corbyn, he said that he loves 'everything he's about'.
'I have political views, but nobody buys my records going "I wonder what he thinks about politics?" Nobody. People buy my records to put on while they make out,' Sheeran told The Sunday Times Culture Magazine.
'I love Corbyn. I love everything Corbyn is about. And I feel people thought that, because I didn't put myself behind him, I wasn't a Corbyn supporter.
