Liar Liar
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-top-of-charts
A protest song that repeatedly accuses Theresa May of lying and mocks her claims for strong and stable leadership is heading to the top of the charts, days after it was released and a week before the general election.
Liar Liar was released last Friday as a remix of a reggae song by Captain Ska, a six-piece anti-austerity band. It already tops Amazon’s listing for songs downloaded in Britain and the iTunes UK chart, despite receiving no airplay from radio stations because of impartiality guidelines.
Until the election on 8 June, all proceeds from downloads will go to food banks and the People’s Assembly anti-austerity campaign.
An accompanying video features the prime minister’s U-turns on article 50, the “dementia tax” and her calling a snap election, and has been viewed more than a million times.
The song is seventh in the official singles chart and is expected to go higher when the chart is updated on Friday.
