Sir Keir Starmer delivers campaign speech as celebrities endorse Labour Party

Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party has secured the endorsement of global superstar Sir Elton John, and his husband, David Furnish.
In a video message played to activists and supporters at the party's campaign rally in London, Sir Elton said it is "heartbreaking to see Britain's next generation of creative talent downtrodden and destroyed by democracy and red tape"

l really don’t care what celebrities endorse any party nobody should. Do they really think that just because a celebrity supports them then we should or that they will get more votes because of it? l have watched this and watched the Reform rally in Birmingham and Reform had enthusiasm and gave me hope. Sorry this did not!
