Your support makes all the difference.Noel Gallagher has rejected Jeremy Corbyn's political beliefs, dismissing them as "communism".
The rock star had publicly supported Tony Blair's New Labour in 1997 but has said he was disappointed by their actions in government
And asked what he thought of the current Labour leader, Gallagher told the Sunday Times Style Magazine: "I don't like communism."
Asked whether he could vote Conservative, he said: "I could never vote Tory because some invisible force field would stop me from putting my vote in the ballot box."
Gallagher grew up in Burnage, Manchester, the second of three children to a builder and dinner lady.
Regarding New Labour, the 48-year-old said: “Speaking as somebody from the left, I thought the New Labour years, coming up to 1997, were amazing. It was so exciting to be in England at the time, because there were so many things going on.
"But then, the Labour Party proved themselves to be 'Meet the new boss, same as the old boss', and until that changes, I'm not having it.
He added: "The Tories don't care about the vulnerable, and the communists don't care about the aspirational.“
The former Oasis star said working-class bands were being "priced out if music" due to disused warehouses being converted in pricey flats rather than cheap rehearsal space.
