How the music world reacted to the UK's hung parliament

A surge of votes for Labour has seen the 2017 UK General Election result in a hung parliament.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn spent his campaign trying to court the youth vote by engaging with the world of music, appearing on the cover of Kerrang, NME and famously meeting with grime star JME.

It worked too - 18-25 year old turnout levels reached 72%, and the majority of those voted Labour.

Here’s how the music world reacted.

Got to hand it to Corbyn. Had the establishment, media, most of his own party, all trying to undermine him. May would have topped herself.
