Labour apologise for graphic song use in latest TikTok

It’s not been a great start to the year for Sir Keir Starmer’s army. As if poor poll ratings and sporadic online attacks by Elon Musk weren’t causing enough problems, now the Labour party has landed itself in more trouble. The UK Labour party’s TikTok account was found to have released a rather bizarre video featuring a song that contains some quite, er, controversial song lyrics. 

The baffling clip sparked outrage after social media users clocked the song used as the backing track. The choice – entitled ‘Montagem Coral’ by DJ Holanda, MC TH and MC GW – consisted of graphic lyrics that, when translated to English, are shown to discuss giving young women drugs before sleeping with them. Not exactly the most appropriate choice of music as Britain’s grooming gang scandals return to the spotlight, eh?

While most of the lyrics are too vulgar to be repeated in the fine pages of The Spectator, one part of the song goes, when translated to English: ‘Perfect combination is sex, beer and marijuana / The young ones got addicted, everyone is enjoying the wave.’
