Lefty Scum

‘What are you doing?’ cries Jonny Donahoe (Jonny And The Baptists) in mock horror as the audience gleefully join in with an unashamedly anti-Tory song. ‘That’s why they hate us!’. Such is the mood where the label ‘Lefty Scum’ is worn with the same level of pride as a protest banner. Josie Long unpacks the private lives of the type of people who vilify women on twitter, and Grace Petrie is passionate, soulful and hopeful, rousing the crowds who really are singing from the same hymn sheet. As echo chambers go, this is as warm as a lefty bubble (bath).
