Billie Piper joins t-shirt wars with anti-Tory jibe

Billie Piper has weighed in on the t-shirt war posting a clear anti-Tory message.

The singer and actress threw her support behind the tactical voting camp as she urges voters to turn their backs against Boris Johnson and the Conservatives.

She sported a t-shirt that mimics the Tesco logo to take a political stand.

It reads: “Tories, very little help.”

Zero f***s about our children’s future

She wrote: “Cannot get behind a man who shames single mums and their children, uses casual racism, gambles with the NHS and gives zero f***s about our children’s future.

“To all the young ones, learn how to vote tactically & rid us of this looming horror show.”

She posted a link to the People’s Vote campaign’s tactical voting website along with the tweet.

Rachel Riley

It comes just weeks after TV presenter Rachel Riley sparked controversy for wearing a photoshopped t-shirt of Jeremy Corbyn.

The Countdown presenter defended her decision to wear a t-shirt featuring a doctored photo of the Labour leader, saying she has “no qualms” about “highlighting” the Labour leader’s “racism”.

The photo depicts Mr Corbyn carrying a poster which has been changed to read: “Jeremy Corbyn is a racist endeavour.”

The original photo, taken in 1984, captures the moment the Labour leader was arrested while protesting the South African apartheid.

The real message at the time read: “Defend the right to protest against apartheid. Join this picket”.
