Nandy demands ‘accountability at highest levels' after Bob Vylan broadcast
Ministers expect 'accountability at the highest levels' for the BBC's decision to screen Bob Vylan at Glastonbury, the Culture Secretary has said. Lisa Nandy told the Commons she has heard from the BBC but was 'not satisfied with the response'. Punk duo Bob Vylan led chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' during their Worthy Farm set last weekend, and face an investigation by Avon and Somerset Police. London's Metropolitan Police is also investigating the two Bobs – who perform using the aliases Bobby Vylan and Bobbie Vylan – for allegedly making similar comments at Alexandra Palace in May. Conservative shadow culture secretary Stuart Andrew told the Commons: 'Given the BBC are seemingly able to pull live broadcasts when things go wrong at football matches, for example, it's extraordinary that this didn't happen on this occasion. 'Can the Secretary of State update the House on the discussions she's had with the BBC, and why the same thing didn't happen on this occasion? 'What due diligence was carried out by them about the acts that were performing? 'And given as she's said we're still waiting for a response to the previous Hamas documentary, is she satisfied with those conversations she's had and the urgency that the organisation are taking?' Ms Nandy replied: 'No, the answer is that I'm not satisfied with the response that I've had.' The Culture Secretary previously made a ministerial statement in the Commons on Monday, when she said 'it should have been foreseeable that there would be problems with broadcasts'. She told MPs then that she wanted 'rapid action to make sure this cannot happen again'. In Thursday's update, Ms Nandy told MPs: 'I have received a reply to the very many questions that were raised by colleagues on all sides. 'I'm not satisfied with that, and I have gone back to the BBC leadership to ask for further information, in particular, as he mentioned, about the failure to pull the live feed, about the due diligence that was done prior to deciding to screen this act, and also about the level of senior oversight that took place in the BBC during the Glastonbury weekend. 'I think the BBC leadership will hear and have heard the strength of feeling in this House about this, and I expect further answers to be forthcoming imminently.' The corporation removed the documentary Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone from its online iPlayer platform in February after it emerged its 13-year-old narrator was the son of a Hamas official. In a follow-up question, Mr Andrew said: 'I'm as disappointed as she is that they haven't been able to come back with even basic facts. 'There were hundreds of BBC staff there and not being able to identify who ultimately had the final decision on whether to broadcast or not is not acceptable, and I think the chairman (Samir Shah) needs to inform her as a matter of urgency who that was and what action they are going to take. 'While I absolutely understand the independence of the BBC, just as artists can't hide behind artistic expression for vile commentary, neither can the BBC hide behind independence for accountability, and I hope she knows she has the full support of this side of the House as she pushes them for clarity.' Ms Nandy said she was 'grateful' that Mr Andrew had made 'the very important distinction between independence and accountability'. She continued: 'Given the seriousness of what happened – and particularly we heard in the House and I was able to bring to the House the absolute shocking stories of the impact that this has had on the Jewish community in this country – given the seriousness of this, I would expect there to be accountability at the highest levels.'

Ozzy Osbourne makes emotional statement ahead of Black Sabbath farewell show
Ozzy Osbourne has said his farewell show in Birmingham with Black Sabbath 'means everything' to him, as he views the massive Villa Park gig as his 'final encore'. The Prince of Darkness will say goodbye to his fans with the original Black Sabbath lineup on Saturday (5 July). The band will be joined by a number of other heavy metal legends, including Metallica, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, and Tom Morello. In a Q&A with communications agency Premier Comms, Osbourne, 76, said the show, titled Back to the Beginning, was a chance to 'say thank you to my fans for always supporting me and being there for me'. 'I couldn't have done my final show anywhere else,' he said of playing the gig in his hometown of Birmingham. 'I had to go back to the beginning.' Osbourne also said that he was surprised by how many people had contacted him about livestreaming the concert, which had not been in the original plan. 'It seemed a great chance for people who didn't have the opportunity to get a ticket to be able to see the show,' he said. The livestream of Back to the Beginning will be delayed by two hours from the in-arena start time, and will begin at 3pm BST. The stream will open 30 minutes prior to launching. Tickets are available to purchase here. Playing at Villa Park is particularly significant for him, Osbourne said, as he used to go to the venue with his friends on Saturdays when a football match was being hosted and ask people 'for a shilling to watch their car'. Asked about what the formidable lineup meant to him, the musician remarked: 'It means everything, I am forever in their debt for showing up for me and the fans. I can't quite put it into words, but I feel very emotional and blessed.' He concluded: 'It's a goodbye as far as my live performances go, and what a way to go out.' Speaking to The Independent this week, Alice in Chains' bassist Mike Inez spoke of how hearing Black Sabbath for the first time 'changed his life', as he recalled auditioning to be in Osbourne's solo band. 'It was all surreal to me,' he said. 'I remember showing up – I was wearing a ratty LA Kings hockey jersey and jeans, and everyone else in there was in leather. So in my head I was thinking, 'OK, I'm never getting this f***ing gig, so I'm just gonna have a good time with it, and be able to say I got to play 'Crazy Train' with Ozzy one time.' 'Little did I know I was going to get it, and then my whole life trajectory was going to change.' Metallica's Rob Trujillo added: 'I'm so excited to be part of this, to be able to show my love and respect for Black Sabbath, because it's safe to say a lot of us wouldn't be playing the music that we play if it wasn't for that band. 'To be sharing this stage with Ozzy, thinking back to the days when I played backyard parties and barbecues, and to still be friends with them, it's a blessing. This is a huge, historical, monumental experience that we're going to have on this day in Birmingham.' Read the full feature here.

John Hegley writes special poem to celebrate Bradford City of Culture

One July 11 John Hegley, University of Bradford alumnus, will take to the stage. Says Tony Charnock at the club: "John's first visit to the Topic Folk Club was in 1976 as a student, to see Nic Jones. Since then he's performed at Cambridge and many other folk festivals with his animal songs, love poems and tales of his half French father (the bottom half). He sang on two John Peel sessions with The Popticians and was poet in residence at London's Keats House. He has produced 12 books and has written a poem to celebrate Bradford 2025: A Celebration of a Nation's City of Culture.
