As the Labour conference entered full swing, attendees were treated to an unexpected surprise on Monday night. Nigel Farage and Donald Trump, two prominent figures in the world of right-wing politics, took to the stage at the Bierkeller in Liverpool for a memorable karaoke performance. The duo, represented by a quartet of singers donning masks of their faces, delighted the crowd with a rendition of the classic Grease song "You're The One That I Want".
Despite their limited knowledge of the lyrics and choreography, the group, believed to be made up of Labour members, put on a show that had the audience cheering and laughing along. The performance was a playful jab at Farage's close friendship with the Republican candidate for president, with whom he has appeared at several rallies in the US. This comes after Farage defended Trump's controversial claims that Haitian immigrants are eating family pets in Ohio.
But the Grease tribute was just one of the highlights of the evening. Labour MP Yuan Yang wowed the crowd with her impressive rendition of Nicki Minaj's "Superbass", flawlessly reciting the rapper's verses without even needing to look at the lyrics on the screen. And the entertainment didn't stop there. Care Minister Stephen Kinnock took over the DJ booth, blasting Icona Pop and Charli XCX's hit "I Love It", while Stella Creasy MP got the party started with Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" followed by B*Witched's "C'est La Vie".
Karaoke has become an integral part of the party conference season, with Labour's events often stealing the show. Last year, now-Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy teamed up with then-MP and current Labour Together chief Jonathan Ashworth for a duet of "Never Gonna Give You Up" followed by "Common People". And there's more to come, as the Daily Mirror party is expected to feature even more karaoke tonight, accompanied by a live band.
But it's not just Labour who know how to have a good time at their conference. Last week at the Liberal Democrat conference, the screens broke down for 45 minutes, leaving the host with no choice but to entertain the crowd with a rendition of "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" while they waited for repairs to be made. It just goes to show, even the most serious of political events can have a touch of fun and spontaneity.
