Kate Tempest 'moves people to tears' with powerful Glastonbury set

'Murdoch headlines leeches for the letting of our blood lost, blame it on the migrants suffocated in containers, blame it on the Muslims or whichever current favorite takes the weight of our collective hate and keeps the nation safe'

Kate Tempest made a strong first impression as she took to the stage at Glastonbury, prompting many to take to social media to praise her daring words, which some said moved them to tears.

The poet and singer made a scathing attack on the state of society, directly accusing Prime Minister Theresa May of "dividing the people".

“Strong and stable into ruin,” she said as she opened her set on Glastonbury’s West Holts stage, echoing the Tory campaign slogan.

From education, immigration, homeless, the health system and divisions, the poet made an emotional plea for humanity.

“School kids on the hunt for lunch, cut the apron strings at least it keeps the bastards leaning,” she continued.

“Murdoch headlines leeches for the letting of our blood lost, blame it on the migrants suffocated in containers, blame it on the Muslims or whichever current favourite takes the weight of our collective hate and keeps the nation safe. Privatise and privatise and private, let the nurses burn..."

Her performance was greeted with cheers and applause in the audience while social media users described the performance as “inspiring”, “mesmerising” and "moving".
