Jeremy Corbyn gets covers on two of UK's biggest music mags while anti-Theresa May song hits Top 5
It's been a week of contrasts for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and error-prone Tory PM Theresa May - and the contrasts even translate to the world of music.
Next week's Kerrang! is one of the most important issues we've ever made. Don't miss it. On sale, Wednesday, June 7 pic.twitter.com/SXx2yY5py7

While Corbyn basks in the glow of two huge magazine endorsements - both NME and Kerrang! have given him cover spreads (you can read the former's feature now) - May has been attacked from all angles... most notably in high-charting protest anthem "Liar Liar".
Sadly it missed out on a deserved Number One placing thanks to the enduring hugeness of "Despacito", but Captain Ska secured their first ever Top 5 hit with a respectful Number Four.
"The success of this song shows people are fed up with this government of the rich, for the rich," Captain Ska tell the Official Charts Company. "We’re overwhelmed with the support and our message is that people do have the power to change society if we act together."
