Russell Brand backs Ed Miliband: ‘You gotta vote Labour’

‘Russell Brand has declared the importance of voting, having spent a long time dismissing the democratic process in Britain.

Brand, who has become a loud voice for the left in recent months, uploaded a new video to his YouTube channel The Trews, which contained footage he has purposely held back of himself with Labour leader Ed Miliband.

In the video – “Emergency: VOTE To Start Revolution” – Brand says that Miliband’s party is worth a cross on ballot papers on 7 May’s election. “I think it’s cool what you say,” Brand told Miliband. “That the election’s the beginning, not the end, and that it’s not about euphoria, it’s about stability and a dialogue with the British people, where they’re heard over the interests of the powerful. Then we have something worth voting for.”‘
