Marsh family wa♪ts for Sue Gray

In April 2020, The Marsh family from Kent, UK cracked out a One Day More [check out the red flag 1.45m] parody about the then lockdown. Their latest sprightly commentary is on Boris Johnson's Government stonewalling on partygate: -"We'll Have to Wait for Sue Gray's Inquiry". Ms Gray may be the only senior civil servant in the corridors of power who hasn't been at a party . . . yet.
The previous investigator, Simon Case, was forced to relieve himself; having been in breach of the rules himself.

Jesus effin fuck I can’t believe I welled up at a Covid themed One Day More parody, but I guess it’s been a long goddamn two years.

This is great and is a much better way to channel the frustration everyone is feeling than the doom scrolling I've opted for.
This week's events should have me feeling giddy with excitement--finally we'll be rid of the muppet--except that every time we lose a Conservative PM they seem to be replaced by someone even worse. And all the stupid policies will continue on and on and on...
At least we'll have good parody songs I guess?

I love how the kids have grown during these two years.

I love this family; I love their shared sense of humour and how they're all willing to poke fun at themselves and each other, but also they clearly enjoy being and singing together. First came to them through the Total Eclipse of the Heart parody but there are several on their channel worth watching.
I cracked up at the very end of the Sue Gray one.

Very much a Shuttleworth Family vibe, but sincere? Glad they're having fun, I don't think Darren and Karen much cared for it.
(The whole demo is brilliant, I'd love to see Mr Marsh do a cover of My Wife Died In 1970)
