Rishi Sunak the ‘devoted Swiftie’ … and 9 other times UK politicos ruined music

Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher did turn up, although he later claimed he only did so because he was high and reckoned he’d get a knighthood out of it.

Fellow Britpop superstar Jarvis Cocker, frontman of Pulp, was so into the whole Tony Blair thing that he wrote a song about how much he hated him and then proceeded to kill Britpop stone dead. Rule Britannia!

Teddy Taylor, Bob Marley cratedigger

“If Sir Teddy Taylor is elected to No. 10, the walls will thump to the bass of Bob Marley.” So thundered one hell of an Independent headline back in 1996.

The pinstripe suit-wearing Euroskeptic thorn in then-PM John Major’s side seemed an unlikely reggae fan, but the Indy confidently assured readers that Marley’s “Soul Almighty” was Taylor’s latest love. “If it isn’t true, it should be,” the paper added wistfully.

Taylor’s musical clout doesn’t end there. The MP used an intervention in the House of Commons to take a pop at “filthy” Al Jourgensen, frontman of industrial metal icons Ministry, over some colorful on-stage antics.

The Chicago band returned the favor by naming their sixth album “Filth Pig,” a record Jourgensen later described as “full of gun-in-mouth dirges of nothing but pain.” Sounds like British politics to be fair.
