RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: The BBC is accused of refusing to air a charity song criticising the PM. So here's another Starmer-inspired bid for Christmas No1 that won't get played either...

The BBC is coming under pressure to play a spoof song criticising Keir Starmer for stripping pensioners of their winter fuel allowances. Freezing This Christmas, by Sir Starmer and the Granny Harmers, is a parody of Mud’s Lonely This Christmas and is topping online download charts.
Yet the musicians behind the single say the Beeb is flatly refusing to play it, even though it’s a bit of fun designed to raise money for the charity Age UK. This column, too, has a track record of spoofing old songs. So here’s another late, Starmer-inspired bid for Christmas No1 that won’t get played on the BBC, either.
Freezing This Christmas, by Sir Starmer and the Granny Harmers, is a parody of Mud’s Lonely This Christmas and is topping online download charts. I think this just about covers the waterfront, but - to misquote Eric Morecambe - although I’ve got all the right freebies, they may not necessarily be in the right order. What can I say? It’s Christmas...
On the first day of Christmas. Keir Starmer took for free. A new suit from Lord Alli. . On the second day of Christmas. A frock for the missus. And a new suit from Lord Alli. On the third day of Christmas. Three pairs of glasses. Two pairs of trainers. On the fourth day of Christmas.
Four Calvin Kleins. On the fifth day of Christmas. Five more freebies!. Four Taylor Swift tickets. And a couple for Rachel Reeves. On the sixth day of Christmas. A few weeks in Soho. Courtesy of Lord Alli. (So his son could do his GCSEs). Good old Waheed!. On the seventh day of Christmas.
