Have Labour actually used it at all this election?
Surly the real headline is “group bans random man on the street from playing their song at Downing Street”?

I’ll be surprised if they own the rights to the track. If they don’t what they say has no meaning bar a moral one.

Would have thought they would do anything for those royalty payments flowing in.

Word on the street, Gary Glitter has banned Labour from using his song.
Pretty poor from the Guardian, boaderline click bait article.
Labour have not asked for permission to use it, no metion if the want to in the first place. Surely D Ream far from the target voters Labour are aiming at?
Bit of Grime anyone?

Only Labour banned? Can Reform use it instead? (For example)

Band doesn’t want Labour using a song that Labour doesn’t want to use and didn’t ask to use. Nothing burger.

Can’t blame them. I don’t think it’s possible to not see Tony’s manic grin whenever you hear this song!

Sounds like they know something everyone else also knows but no-one wants to talk about.

> Cunnah agreed: “I’ve learned the hard way. No, no, no. This is a change of guard, I don’t see this as an election. It’s just a change of guard, someone handing the baton on.”
Yup.

They should re-release it as ‘Things can only get worse’ as that is the end result of a Labour government. Take me back to when things like the equality act did not exist ( I say that as a gay man, ticking a box at the end of an application form asking for my sexuality and race is disgusting, but Labour policy was the cause of this stupidity).

Maybe they could use one of their other well-known songs?

In other news…. Band who everybody has forgot about trys to stay relevant.
> Mackenzie, who spoke to LBC from his home in the Midlands, said: “I don’t think politics and music should be linked.
That’s quite the take from a musician.
Fair enough – just get a different song. Bands have been annoyed with politicians using their songs without permission for ages (see Trump).
Luckily, the perfect song is still available for them to use*
