Daily Mail  

A parody song taking aim at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for stripping millions of pensioners of their winter fuel payments has topped download charts, but those behind it are blasting radio stations for refusing to play it. The song, by 'Sir Starmer and the Granny Harmers', mocks the decision to strip up to 10 million pensioners of the winter fuel payment based on new means-tested criteria Sir Keir Starmer's government has stripped many pensioners of the payout after discovering a £22billion black hole in the country's finances The musicians behind the hit song have claimed their efforts to win the title of Christmas No.1 are being thwarted by radio stations refusing to play it to their audiences He accused Starmer of 'hypocrisy' and hit out at the politician for not putting the changes to winter fuel payments in his manifesto. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is also mentioned in the song, with writers describing her as a 'fraud' Mr Middleton and Mr Ager are urging fans to continue streaming the song in a bid to make their way up the official charts The music video, shot in black and white, featured crying pensioners clutching blankets and counting coins The song has topped EE's chart and is currently number 85 in the official charts Freezing This Christmas lyrics Try to imagine a house that's full of cold / Try to imagine being 80 years old / That's where I'll be since Keir left me / I wish tears could heat my home / What could I do? / I've got no place, no place to go It'll be freezing this Christmas / Without fuel at home / It'll be freezing this Christmas / While Keir Starmer's warm / It'll be cold, so cold without fuel at home / This Christmas Each time I remember I've paid taxes all my life / I cry as I wonder will I make it, will my wife / I just break down as I look around / And the only things I see / Are foreign wars and open doors and a freezing OAP It'll be freezing this Christmas / While our money goes abroad / It'll be freezing this Christmas / Rachel Reeves is a fraud / It'll be cold, so cold without fuel at home / This Christmas Do you remember last year / When Rishi was here / We never thought there'd be an end / And I remember looking at you then / And I remember thinking that next Christmas / Things won't be this bad for us / But darling, this year things are even worse / And we really, we really need warmth / And Two Tier Keir doesn't care at all It'll be freezing this Christmas / Without fuel at home / It'll be freezing this Christmas / While Keir Starmer's warm / It'll be cold, so cold without fuel at home / This Christmas Lyrics include: 'Do you remember last year, when Rishi was here, we never thought there'd be an end.'
