Hunt has faced calls to resign over his relationship with the Murdochs

As Jeremy Hunt's tenure as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport is increasingly in doubt Twitter has been keeping up the pressure through a number of comedy hashtags including #jeremyhuntsongs.

Users of the social network have been strenuously exercising the pun-conjuring parts of their brains to come up with song names to describe Hunt's situation.

They range from tweets mocking Hunt's apparent impending doom, such as "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" or "Reach For The Sky" to those mocking his close relationship with the Murdoch empire.

Hunt has come under pressure following damning evidence disclosed to the Leveson Inquiry by James Murdoch, former chairman of News International. Rupert Murdoch, owner of the network of companies under News Corporation, will appear today.

Jeremy Hunt is a Murdoch stooge and lapdog. He is described by the Daily Mail as " Minister for Murdoch". He attacked the BBC non stop and was instrumental in making the Tory Media policies identical to those of News Corporation - Hunt agreed to dismantle the BBC Trust, reduce the powers of regulator OFCOM, strip the Competition Authorities from any role in Murdoch's bid to take full control of BSKYB, freeze the BBC Licence fee while permitting SKY TV to charge extravagant prices to consumers.

Hunt briefed James Murdoch and Rebakah Brooks and represented their views at all times.
Hunt is a creep and a liar.

Hunt in 2010 :

" Rather than worry about Rupert Murdoch owning another TV channel, what we should recognise is that he has probably done more to create variety and choice in British TV than any other single person because of his huge investment in setting up Sky TV which, at one point, was losing several million pounds a day.

We would be the poorer and wouldn't be saying that British TV is the envy of the world if it hadn't been for him being prepared to take that commercial risk. We need to encourage that kind of investment ".
