Politically, she is a supporter of the Labour Party, saying in 2011 that she was a Labour girl through and through , and in the same interview was critical of the Conservative Party.[229] Despite this declared political affiliation, Adele received backlash for her comments on paying taxes during a 2011 interview with Q magazine. She said, I use the NHS, I can't use public transport any more, doing what I do, I went to state school, I'm mortified to have to pay 50 percent! Trains are always late, most state schools are sh!t and I've gotta give you like four million quid, are you having a laugh? When I got my tax bill in from 19 I was ready to go and buy a gun and randomly open fire. [230][231]
