A musician from The Lottery Winners, a rising band with ties to the Prime Minister, opens up about his personal connection to Number 10 — even texting the PM after he took office, only to be left on read. He jokes about going “Tory” for the lack of reply, but quickly pivots to defending his support, citing the PM’s personal ties to Manchester and his backing of local music icons like The Smiths and Courteeners. Despite the playful jab, he remains hopeful, crediting the PM’s heart for change and even teasing a debt to Johnny Marr. Meanwhile, the PM’s recent 20% business rates cut for pubs and live venues directly benefits the music scene — a move the artist sees as a win for culture. It’s a quirky, heartfelt moment where music and politics collide — and the musician’s passion for both remains unshaken.
