Right before ‘TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME’ it has become a tradition that Matty says something in an autotuned voice following the viral video of him singing “Don’t throw menthols on this stage. Don’t like menthols” which went viral in 2022. Tonight, Matty went political, supporting the union workers and his anti-Tory views. With autotune on, Healy said: “We support the union strikers … it’s simply how industrial action works … can’t demonise it.” It’s the message we all need to hear; seeing this clip doing the rounds on TikTok less than twenty-four hours later shows the impact this had. Matty was upfront about his political views all evening, making important statements beyond base level political comments.

Tonight, Matty informed us that in fact the person on camera is “a bloke” to which the man grinned and put his thumbs up. That put an end to all the rumours!
