A family of singers have released a catchy tune telling the tale of the "brief" Home Secretary's resignation.

The Marsh Family created what they called a "cheeky adaptation" of the Wellerman sea shanty.

Yesterday (October, 19) saw Suella Braverman resign as Home Secretary reportedly after a flaming row with Prime Minister Liz Truss over visas, but according to her letter due to breaching data policy by sending confidential emails from her personal phone.

She quit after just a month in the role and criticised Truss’ “tumultuous” premiership - further imperilling the embattled PM’s grip on power.

The popular figure among the Tory right said she had made a “technical infringement” of the rules by sending an official document from a personal email and was now taking responsibility.

“I have made a mistake; I accept responsibility; I resign,” she wrote in a barely coded dig at the Prime Minister whose disastrous mini-budget sparked financial turmoil.

The song by the Marsh Family has had more than 300,000 views and outlines how Braverman breached the Ministers' Code and "spent days just wagging her tongue".

They sing: "There once was a brief Home Secretary, she came from a group called the ERG.

"Begins the job, but then backs down, she breached the Ministers' Code."

They wrote the song swiftly after the news of Braverman's resignation, with the chorus highlighting she had only been in office for a month.

"Suella Braverman's gone," they sing.

"To think she'd only been there a month. Spent days just wagging her tongue, she'd take her leave and go."

The song goes on, Braverman had "dreamed two weeks before of sending migrants from these shores", and she had called for a culture war.

The family describes the antics in government as a "sinking ship" in their quirky cover and on their Facebook account tell followers Braverman's term in office was the shortest since the second world war.

But the chaos in parliament doesn't stop there.

After Braverman's exit a fracking vote descended into farce, with no one able to say whether it was a 'confidence issue' - meaning Tory rebels would be punished or not.

Political editor, Paul Francis, writes in his analysis after the antics which unfolded yesterday: "Could things get any worse? Yes they certainly could."

Today, Kent MPs Tracey Crouch and Greg Clark face having the whip removed after they abstained on Labour's motion to continue the ban on fracking.
