The south London MC Stormzy, fresh from winning two of the biggest awards at the 2018 Brits, delivered a furious attack on  Theresa May  in a show-closing freestyle. “Theresa May, where’s the money for Grenfell?” he asked the prime minister, adding that the government “just forgot about Grenfell, you criminals, and you got the cheek to call us savages, you should do some jail time, you should pay some damages, we should burn your house down and see if you can manage this.” The MC was one of those featured on the charity single to raise money for the victims of the fire  which killed 71 people in June 2017 , when it broke out in the west London tower block.

Corbyn's solicitor calls for an apology from Ben Bradley PLUS MORE

Jeremy Corbyn is demanding an apology and donation to charity from a Tory MP who falsely claimed he had “sold British secrets to communist spies”, HuffPost has learned. Lawyers acting for the Labour leader have written to Bradley, a Tory party vice chairman, to insist that he tweets the apology to all his followers. Although the  tweet has been deleted , their letter sent to Bradley points out the spy allegation is damaging and potentially harmful, and must not be repeated. The four legal demands are that Bradley: - confirms in writing that the defamatory statement will not be repeated in any form - tweets an apology and asks followers to retweet it - makes a donation to a charity of Jeremy Corbyn’s choice in lieu of damages - and pays Jeremy Corbyn’s legal costs. Bradley had tweeted on Monday that Corbyn had “sold British secrets” to foreign agents following a series of tabloid allegations about meetings the Labour leader and other MPs attended in the 1980s.
