England and Liverpool Striker Raheem Sterling records video backing Labour’s Dawn Butler

He may not be staying at Liverpool much longer – but England and Liverpool attacker Raheem Sterling is definitely a committed Red. Here’s a video of Sterling backing Dawn Butler – who was Sterling’s MP in Brent when he lived there as a kid:

Sterling says “Hiya, I’m Raheem Sterling, and I’d just like to say a big thank you to Dawn for helping me and my family when we lived in Brent and she’s been a massive help to us when I was growing up and hopefully we can see her as an MP again soon.”

Sterling follows in the steps of Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, who backed Andy Burnham’s leadership bid in 2010 (despite Burnham being an Evertonian).
