Kunt and the Gang

In December 2020, Kunt, performing with his newly formed punk band, The Kunts, joined the race for the Christmas number one single again, with a short song about Prime Minister Boris Johnson called "Boris Johnson Is a Fucking Cunt". Its rivals in the 2020 race were "Don't Stop Me Eatin'" by LadBaby (a parody cover of "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey, which also featured Ronan Keating on some versions),[14][15] Russ Abbott's "Atmosphere",[16][17] former chart toppers Justin Bieber and The Lewisham & Greenwich NHS Choir (teaming up for a version of Bieber's "Holy"), Liam Gallagher's "All You’re Dreaming Of" and Ed Sheeran's "Afterglow".[18][17] The band were backed in the race by Black Mirror's Charlie Brooker,[19] as well as Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols[20] and like LadBaby, also released additional versions of the song, including a censored sausage roll based version.

The song about Boris Johnson was revealed on BBC Radio 1 by Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton on 20 December 2020.[21] During the show, the presenters did not mention the song's title or play it on air because of the offensive language in it, stating: "Now at 19 we've got a track about Boris Johnson that has so many bad words in it we can't play it on daytime Radio 1."[22] The record was a new entry at number 19, with LadBaby at number 1,[23] climbing to number 8 the next day.[24] On 23 December 2020, it was reported that a number of bookmakers had put odds on the record being the Christmas number one at 8/1, after it had become the second most downloaded song on iTunes and Amazon.[25][26][20] The song ultimately reached number 5 on the Christmas chart, after accumulating 45,119 sales,[27][28][29] and unlike many of the other Christmas campaign singles (such as rivals LadBaby) made the Official Audio Streaming Chart as well.[30]

In November 2021, the Kunts launched an online campaign to get their single "Boris Johnson Is STILL a Fucking Cunt" to Christmas number one. The song was released on 17 December 2021.[31] The song reached number 5 in the Christmas midweek chart.[32] During this campaign the band made numerous references to similarly subversive act The KLF, including in the music video (based, along with the song, on "Doctorin' the Tardis") and in promotional imagery, which shows Kunt and the band reading The Manual - a book written by The KLF as "The Timelords".[33] Similarly to their previous hit, The Kunts song for 2021 had several different versions, many of which were remixed by guest artists such as Cassetteboy and B3ta founder Rob Manuel. Again the song had a radio-friendly versions with no foul language, substituting the phrase “fucking cunt” for “sausage roll.” It is believed this is made in reference to LadBaby, who have had three previous number one Christmas singles based around sausage rolls. While the 2020 single had 23 different mixes, the release for 2021 has scaled this back to 13.[34] The song reached number 5 in the Christmas chart.[35]

On 27 May 2022, to coincide with The Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II The Kunts released "Prince Andrew Is a Sweaty Nonce",[36] with the aim of matching The Sex Pistols achievement of getting a protest song about The British Royal Family to number two in the Jubilee charts.[37] It peaked at number 20.

On 16 December 2022, The Kunts returned with "Fuck the Tories" in a third attempt to claim the Christmas number-one; the song ranked seventh in the chart.

On 5 May 2023, The Kunts released "Scrap The Monarchy" under the name of The Krown Jewelz. The song reached number 9 in the singles chart.[38]

Theatre troupe Tuppence Ha'penny performed Shannon Matthews: The Musical (based on the 2010 album) at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In September 2022, a film version was crowdfunded via Kickstarter. The funding goal was reached within 24 hours.[2]
