Written in July 2016 after the Brexit referendum, rapper Dave’s song describes a nation at breaking point, and demands empathy and moral commitment from the political class. He holds the new PM Theresa May to account, asking about foreign and military policy, low pay, poverty, and the NHS. May’s perceived poor response to the fatal fire at London’s Grenfell Tower is also addressed, while more questions are put to former PM David Cameron and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn.
