DOWNING STREET BOUND? STORMZY COULD BE RETWEETED INTO THE PM JOB

But Boris Johnson and Michael Gove should prepare for competition from an unlikely opponent.

Grime star Stormzy has placed himself in the race (kind of) after #StormzyForPM gained traction on Twitter.

After the news that Cameron will step down as PM by October following the Leave campaign winning the EU referendum, Stormzy tweeted: "How many retweets do I need to become prime minister."

We don't think there's an official threshold to pass, but at the time of writing, Stomrzy's tweet had over 30,000 retweets and another 15,000 likes.

The 22-year-old rapper wrote: "Lol ah mate I ain't even gonna say anything… It's all kicked off innit", as fans tweeted: "#StormzyForPM."

And the Shut Up star's would-be campaign stepped up a notch after a fan mocked up a poster for the rapper.

He wrote: "Stormzy i'm launching your political career today, wanna see your promo poster? #stormzy2020" – alongside a rather professional banner.

Next to a picture of the star read a slogan: "If you don't rate me, shame on you" – a lyric from his hit Shut Up.

SHOCK: DAVID CAMERON RESIGNED THIS

MORNING

People may laugh at Stormzy becoming the Tory PM, but his social media campaigns have been successful in the past.

Stormzy hit number 8 in the Christmas charts after fans started a campaign to get him to Christmas number onewith Shut Up.

Plus, the grime hero, real name Michael Omari, knows a thing or two about politics.

Previously speaking to the Guardian, he said: "Young Jeremy [Corbyn], my guy. I dig what he says. I saw some sick picture of him from back in the day when he was campaigning about anti-apartheid and I thought: yeah, I like your energy."

Michael added that he would like to discuss housing with Jeremy or Sadiq Khan: "Housing, that’s the first one. Now that I’m at a certain financial situation, I’m able to buy a house. But if I never became this, how the f*** was I gonna buy a house? How is my bredren from the ends ever gonna buy a house? It’s mad out here."

Stormzy for PM.
