I'm backing @NormanLamb to become leader of the Liberal Democrats and help put power back in the hands of individuals http://t.co/cp5hzX7NNr

The rapper has officially backed Norman Lamb, the former health minister, for leader of the the Lib Dems. Obviously.

I bet the former N-Dubz singer is not making any promises about eating that hat if Norman doesn’t swing it though.

Given Norman Lamb remortgaged his house to fund Tinchy Stryder's early music career it's not that shocking to get the big Dappy endorsement.
