Famous and popular stars like Stormzy, Thom Yorke and Yungblud have shared their reactions after the Conservative Party won the UK general election.
Addressing the day “truly aching” Yungblud said, “I’m so sad we lost this fight, after genuinely believing that something would change.”
“But that’s just democracy. I’m hurt but I ain’t losing hope at all because I know that one day our feet will fill the shoes that determine which direction the world will walk in.”
“Dark day for minorities in the UK. Especially for British Muslims who watched as a man who said ‘Islam was the problem,’ mocked veiled Muslim women, & also turned a blind eye to massive anti-Muslim hatred in his party, was just given a landslide majority by their fellow Britons,” Stormzy shared a tweet from writer Mehdi Hasan.
Tories are set to have their biggest majority since Margaret Thatcher was in power in 1987 and the Labour party have suffered their biggest loss since 1935.
