Lib Dem leader Tim Farron has filmed a rap tribute to footballer John Barnes to thank him for writing a heartfelt case for remain earlier in the day.

Here it is. Ready? You're not but go ahead anyway...

Farron does have musical form - the Cumbria MP told the Huffington Post UK last year that he once fronted a group “written off as a fourth rate New Order”.
