Radiohead star cancels concerts with Israeli musician after ‘threats'
The guitarist and keyboardist condemned 'censorship' and 'intimidation' for the decision to pull out of the concerts in London and Bristol next month.
'The venues and their blameless staff have received enough credible threats to conclude that it's not safe to proceed,' Greenwood and Tassa said in a statement. 'Promoters of the shows can't be expected to fund our, or our audiences', protection.'

Pro-Palestinian campaigners have opposed the shows because they feature Tassa, an Israeli musician, and because their joint album, Jarak Qaribak, was partially recorded in Tel Aviv.
The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel described the concerts as

Rachel Reeves under pressure to ‘urgently rule out' tax hikes
The Conservatives are urging Chancellor Rachel Reeves to "urgently rule out" increasing share taxes in the upcoming autumn budget, following the leak of a memo from Angela Rayner suggesting a series of tax hikes. The Tories argue that leaving investors"in limbo" could harm the economy. The party claims that scrapping the £500 dividend allowance would pull an estimated 5.22 million more individuals into paying investment levies. This pressure on ministers comes after a document, reportedly sent by the Deputy Prime Minister to Ms Reeves, was leaked to the press. In the memo, Ms Rayner proposed removing the dividend allowance to generate approximately £325 million annually, as well as axing inheritance tax relief for AIM shares and increasing dividend tax rates, according to The Telegraph. Shadow chancellor Mel Stride commented: 'The Government need to urgently rule out these tax hikes on savers and investors before speculation causes further economic harm. ' Labour don't understand how business works and how to create growth. More taxes on investment, entrepreneurship and saving are the last thing our economy needs right now.' The Government's U-turns over welfare reform and winter fuel payments have left the Chancellor with a multibillion-pound black hole to fill, fuelling speculation that she will seek to raise revenue through tax hikes. The Tories claimed axing the dividend allowance would drag 'an estimated 5.22 million more people into paying dividend tax'. This figure appears to be based on an assumption that at least 8.82 million people in the UK hold shares that pay dividends. Some 3.6 million are already subject to dividend tax, according to data obtained by investment platform AJ Bell through a Freedom of Information request. The Chancellor last year said she would not be 'coming back with more borrowing or more taxes' after her first budget but has since refused to rule out raising specific levies, saying it would be 'irresponsible' to do so. A Labour Party spokesperson said: 'The Conservatives have some brass neck. They've still not apologised for the damage caused by the Liz Truss mini-Budget, nor the £22 billion black hole they left – which hammered firms and families across the country. 'Labour is doing more to support business than the Tories ever could. 'We've already delivered three historic trade deals and four interest rate cuts – to reduce costs and put money back in people's pockets.'

How are police likely to respond to the rally against Palestine Action ban?
Protesters calling for the ban on Palestine Action to be lifted are planning to stage a demonstration in London on Saturday that could result in hundreds being arrested. The mass action is in support of a campaign to overturn the proscription of the group, which was banned under terrorism laws on 5 July. Organisers are asking participants to hold up placards saying: 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.' The Metropolitan police has warned that anyone showing support for Palestine Action will be arrested. The organisers are a group called Defend Our Juries, a group set up in March 2023 to campaign on behalf of a woman who stood outside a climate activist trial holding a placard about jury rights. Trudi Warner was arrested after holding a sign saying: 'Jurors, you have an absolute right to acquit according to your conscience.' The group has also been involved in supporting Just Stop Oil activists, drawing attention to what it describes as a 'constitutional crisis' in courts as climate activists say new restrictions prevent them explaining their motivations to juries in England and Wales. Among those involved in Defend Our Juries is Tim Crosland, a former government lawyer who held senior roles at organisations including the National Crime Agency and the Serious Organised Crime Agency, where he was a deputy director. He was disbarred in 2023 after he was fined £5,000 for criminal contempt of court in 2021 after deliberately making public a supreme court ruling related to Heathrow airport before the result was officially announced. Participants are being encouraged to hold aloft placards saying 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine' at a location in central London at 1pm for an hour, or until arrested. Organisers say it will only go ahead if at least 500 people are committed to it. Defend our Juries says well over that number have signed up to doing so but a decision about proceeding will be made on Tuesday. A location is yet to be announced but it will be in the Westminster area. As of Monday evening, as many as 1,000 people had signed up to take part in the action, according to Defend Our Juries. The group says that similar actions last month have 'changed the meaning' of an arrest under the Terrorism Act and that it has come to be regarded as a 'badge of honour' by those involved in the campaign to overturn the ban on Palestine action. Since the proscription of Palestine Action, Police have made arrests at previous events where protesters have held up banners saying: 'I oppose genocide. I support Palestine.' The Metropolitan police said on Monday: 'Our officers will continue to apply the law in relation to Palestine Action as we have done since its proscription. Anyone showing support for the group can expect to be arrested.' Tactical options include carrying out pre-emptive arrests, placing roadblocks or imposing conditions. Police have significant leeway but run a risk that the courts could strike them down at a later stage. Other options available to the police include applying for a section 14 order, under the Public Order Act 1986, which allows the police to impose conditions on public assemblies. Such an order was used recently in relation to protest activity outside a hotel in Epping, Essex where asylum seekers were being housed. Police forces can apply for a protest to be banned, a rarely used option, if they believe the risk of serious public disorder cannot be managed by imposing conditions on a protest. Any ban must be approved by the home secretary. The action is due to take place an hour after the start of a march in central London which the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and others are organising to draw attention to the plight of starving Gazans. Coincidentally, a range of protests against the use of hotels to house asylum seekers is expected to take place this weekend in London and elsewhere, with significant far-right involvement, along with counter-protests by anti-racism activists and trade unionists. The Metropolitan police said on Monday that it was aware that Save Our Juries was encouraging people to turn out with the intention of placing a strain on the police and the wider criminal justice system. 'While we will not go into the specific details of our plan, the public can be assured that we will have the resources and processes in place to respond to any eventuality,' said the force. Nevertheless, Britain's largest force may have to consider whether it needs aid from other forces. Save Our Juries says it believes that the arrests of 500 people could put serious strain on the number of available places for detaining those in custody in London.

Conor Maynard reveals devastating health battle that has left him 'screaming in pain' after he was rushed to hospital by paramedics
Conor Maynard has opened up about the devastating health battle that has stopped the release of his new music and left him 'screaming in pain'. The Can't Say No hitmaker, 32, revealed on Monday why he released his single Runaway Man in May and then largely went to ground. Conor's disappearance from public life followed his revelation back in February that he had been rushed to hospital after falling down in his home. He told Instagram followers: 'So I thought I'd explain why I've been pretty quiet over the last few months, and why I released one song in May and then seemingly disappeared when the original plan was to post a string of songs for you guys. 'I posted earlier this year that I was experiencing issues with my back, and it has been quite the journey.' Alongside the post was a picture of the star being carried on a stretcher by paramedics and a snap of a cannula in his arm. Conor said that despite intending to release new music and visiting a chiropractor in a bid to solve his ongoing back problem, 'nothing improved'. The situation took another turn for the worse this weekend when he was left 'screaming in pain' because the pain in his back was so intense. He continued: 'Then I lost all the colour in my face which made my girlfriend panic so we called an ambulance and I was taken to hospital. 'The annoying thing about this kind of injury is that there isn't much that can be done immediately other than try to manage the pain, and then make more long term recovery attempts. 'Right now it's looking like surgery is the only option but obviously that's kind of scary.' Conor added: 'It really has affected by life in so many ways. 'Filming music content is nearly impossible as I can't lift or move any of my lights, even holding a camera up is too heavy.' After revealing that he has a bulging disk in his back, Conor, pictured with his girlfriend Kitty Bertrand, said that while he has a 'long' recovery journey ahead of him, he is hoping to release new music as 'soon' as he can. The singer's health troubles are not the only battle he has recently faced and he has also been embroiled in a paternity scandal after the Traitors' star Charlotte Chilton claimed that he was the father of her daughter Penelope after a one-night stand The singer's health troubles are not the only battle he has recently faced. He has also been embroiled in a paternity scandal after the Traitors' star Charlotte Chilton claimed on Instagram that he was the father of her daughter Penelope after a one-night stand. However, a subsequent DNA test confirmed in March that he was not the child's father. Conor subsequently appeared on This Morning to explain the toll the paternity scandal had on him after Charlotte went on to say she doubted the accuracy of the test. He said: 'I was instantly painted as a dead-beat dad. My comments on my social media were all about that.' Conor added: 'Mental health is something I have struggled with for a huge portion of my life. 'And this year has been up there with my battle with it.'
