A pop song with the lyrics 'Theresa May's a liar, liar' has raced past stars Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan and Ed Sheeran to top the iTunes singles chart.

The song is also set to be the highest newcomer in the Official Top 40 this Sunday, after it stormed its way to number seven in the midweek chart update.

But with lyrics accusing Mrs May of being a 'liar', it looks like it won't be making an appearance on the airwaves anytime soon.

The Big Top 40 show on Heart and Capital FM has reportedly banned the song from the airwaves.

And BBC's Radio 1 said it will not give the song airtime due to impartiality rules.

“We do not ban songs or artists, however our editorial guidelines require us to remain impartial and the UK is currently in an election period so we will not be playing the song,” the station said.

The anti-austerity anthem , first heard in 2010, became a viral hit during the wave of student protests opposing the Coalition Government's hike in tuition fees.

At the time, it targeted David Cameron and Nick Clegg.

Now, it has now been revamped by the band Captain Ska for the general election.

In a statement the band reacted angrily to the decision to exclude their song from this weekend's radio rundowns.

In a statement they said: "This can only be seen as an attempt by the media owners to undermine public opinion. Thousands of people have downloaded this track and we demand that it is aired as any other song would be".

A petition demanding that the song be played has been launched and signed by over 3000 people.

Entitled "LiarLiar", the song features speeches and news interviews from Theresa May followed by a chorus of "She's a Liar, Liar...you can't trust her, no no no no".

It attacks the Conservative Party over the NHS crisis, education and levels of poverty.

"When there's nurses going hungry and schools in decline I don't recognise this broken country of mine" is just one of the cutting lyrics.

Jake from Captain Ska said: "We've re-mixed Liar Liar for this General Election because we want to do all we can to expose the horrific effects Tory policy has had on ordinary people."

He added: "We want to do all we can to make sure Theresa May is kicked out of Downing Street on June 8.

The song is being promoted by the campaign organisation the People's Assembly Against Austerity.

The track is available from today to download from all major outlets including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify & Band Camp.

All money spent on downloads of the track between now and June 8, will be split between food banks around the UK and The People's Assembly Against Austerity.

The Conservative Party have been approached for comment.
