Keir Starmer Demands BBC Explain How Bobby Vylan 'Hate Speech' Was Broadcast
Keir Starmer has demanded answers from the BBC for broadcasting 'appalling hate speech' from Glastonbury. The prime minister added his voice to the backlash against punk duo Bobby Vylan after they led the festival crowd in chants of 'death to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)' on Saturday afternoon. Their performance was streamed live on the BBC iPlayer. Starmer told the Telegraph: 'There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. 'The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast.' Health secretary Wes Streeting had earlier said both the BBC and Glastonbury 'have questions to answer'. He told Sky News: 'I thought it was appalling to be honest and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer on how we saw such a spectacle on our screens. 'I also think it was a pretty shameless publicity stunt that I don't want to give too much indulgence to for that reason.' A spokesperson for the BBC said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. 'We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' In a statement posted on Instagram on Sunday, Glastonbury's organisers also said they were 'appalled' by Bob Vylan's performance. They said: 'Their chants very much crossed a line and we are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence'.

MP apologises for 'simple honest mistake' after photoshopped picture posted online
A Greater Manchester MP has apologised for a 'simple mistake' after a photoshopped picture was posted to his Facebook page. Independent MP for Gorton and Denton Andrew Gwynne took to his Facebook page yesterday (June 28) to post about Tameside Armed Forces Day, which took place in Denton on Saturday. "Armed forces day in Denton is in full swing," he wrote in the post. "There's lots of fun and entertainment throughout the day up to 4pm in Victoria Park." READ MORE: Battle is on to save hidden school masterpiece READ MORE: 'I was stuck in Glastonbury mosh pit with death chants and fake blood' This was accompanied by a series of photos of the event - one of which appeared to show Mr Gwynne there in person. But eagle-eyed commentators noticed that the photo had been edited. A snap of Mr Gwynne at Levenshulme Market the day before appeared to have been superimposed onto another photo of the event in Denton. In messages seen by the M.E.N, critics claim that this amounted to the MP 'pretending' to have attended - but Mr Gwynne insists that it was 'a simple mistake'. "As soon as I saw it had been posted I removed it," he said in a statement. "I had forwarded 15 images taken by my son to my office who do my social media posts. "I had intended doing a covering photo apologising for not being in attendance and this [photo] is the early saved part of that from Canva [the photo editing app] which must have saved to my camera roll and I forwarded it with the rest. He called it 'a bit embarrassing,' but added: "It was a simple honest mistake." Mr Gwynne has been an MP in Denton since 2005. He was suspended from the Labour party in February this year for comments he had posted in a Whatsapp group used by Manchester Labour politicians. At the time, he wrote on X: "I deeply regret my badly misjudged comments and apologise for any offense I've caused. "I entirely understand the decisions the PM and the party have taken and, while very sad to have been suspended, will support them in any way I can."

Starmer says ‘death to IDF' chants at Glastonbury were ‘appalling hate speech'
Sir Keir Starmer said chants of 'death' to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at Glastonbury were 'appalling hate speech' and urged the BBC to explain how the scenes were broadcast. Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, on Saturday led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Death, death to the IDF', before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans 'start a riot' at his bandmate's forthcoming court appearance. Responding to the chants from Bob Vylan, the Prime Minister said: 'There is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech. 'I said that Kneecap should not be given a platform and that goes for any other performers making threats or inciting violence. 'The BBC needs to explain how these scenes came to be broadcast.' Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 'to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation'. A joint Instagram post from Glastonbury and Emily Eavis said Bob Vylan's chants 'very much crossed a line' and added: 'We are urgently reminding everyone involved in the production of the festival that there is no place at Glastonbury for antisemitism, hate speech or incitement to violence.' Wes Streeting told Sky News' Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips: 'I thought it's appalling, to be honest, and I think the BBC and Glastonbury have got questions to answer about how we saw such a spectacle on our screens.' On social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was 'deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival'. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes 'grotesque', writing on X: 'Glorifying violence against Jews isn't edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked.' Liberal Democrat culture, media and sport spokesman Max Wilkinson said: 'Bob Vylan's chants at Glastonbury yesterday were appalling. Cultural events are always a place for debate, but hate speech, antisemitism and incitements to violence have no place at Glastonbury or anywhere in our society.' The Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) said it would be formally complaining to the BBC over its 'outrageous decision' to broadcast Bob Vylan. A spokesperson said: 'Our national broadcaster must apologise for its dissemination of this extremist vitriol, and those responsible must be removed from their positions.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. 'During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said. Bob Vylan, who formed in Ipswich in 2017, have released four albums with their music addressing issues to do with racism, masculinity and class. Bobby Vylan's real name is Pascal Robinson-Foster, 34, according to reports. Robinson-Foster is listed on Companies House as being the director of Ghost Theatre Records, which is operated by Bob Vylan. Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. The group performed after Vylan's set on the West Holts Stage with O hAnnaidh exclaiming 'Glastonbury, I'm a free man' as they took to the stage. In reference to his bandmate's forthcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would 'start a riot outside the courts', before clarifying: 'No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine'. In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several politicians called for the group to be removed from the line-up and Sir Keir said their performance would not be 'appropriate'. During the performance, Caireallain said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' He also said a 'big thank you to the Eavis family' and said 'they stood strong' amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up.
