Ed Balls and Robert Peston switched from politics to punk as they debuted their new band, Centrist Dad, at an event in London this weekend, cheered on by former Labour leader Ed Miliband.
The broadcaster and former Labour shadow chancellor united with ITV’s political news editor to form the rock‘n’roll cover band.
On Sunday (10 September), they performed at the York Rise street party in Hampstead, treating the audience to a selection of classic songs.
Video footage shows Peston, 63, singing Sex Pistols’ famous 1973 track “Anarchy in the UK” as Balls, 56, plays drums energetically in the background.
