Failing British PM Keir Starmer is becoming so unpopular that the most popular Christmas song in the UK is a parody criticizing him.
The Labour leader is being lampooned by a song that has now topped a second chart.
But the liberal BBC is running cover for him and still won’t play the Christmas number one contender.
‘Freezing this Christmas’ uses the melody of Mud’s 1974 hit ‘Lonely this Christmas’ to satirize the Prime Minister’s cruel winter fuel payment cuts.
The Telegraph reported:
“Sales for the track have surged following its release earlier in December, and the anti-Starmer song has reached the top of the iTunes chart.
Freezing this Christmas had already topped the Official Download Chart, and is in contention to become Christmas number one, despite the BBC refusing to give the parody any air time.”
Campaigners for the Elder have accused the BBC of ‘downplaying’ the song critical of Labour policy.
Silver Voices Director Dennis Reed: “It’s worrying that the BBC is downplaying the popularity of this track. There is a liberal, pro-government establishment that doesn’t care about pensioners.”
In the now-hit song, Frank Sinatra tribute singer Dean Ager belts: “It’ll be freezing this Christmas, without fuel at home, it’ll be freezing this Christmas, while Keir Starmer is warm. It’ll be cold, so cold, without fuel at home, this Christmas.”
Proceeds from the song will revert to charities for pensioners.
“The amateur songwriter [Chris Middleton] said that the track has raised £35,000 in a matter of weeks on Just Giving alone, with cash from sales and downloads still to be calculated.”
Only one commercial radio station, Heart, played a few seconds of the track.
