Thanks Busted, whoever you are, say Tories

British Tory leader Michael Howard welcomed the support of boy band Busted today – but admitted he didn’t know who they were.

The chart stars came out as Conservatives in an interview with society magazine Tatler. “I didn’t know them but I am becoming more familiar with them,” Mr Howard told Sky News when asked if he was a fan. “But I am very pleased they are supporting us.”
