Wes Streeting has said chants of 鈥渄eath鈥 to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) at Glastonbury were 鈥渁ppalling鈥 and that the BBC and festival have 鈥渜uestions to answer鈥. Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, on Saturday led crowds on the festival鈥檚 West Holts Stage in chants of 鈥渇ree, free Palestine鈥 and 鈥渄eath, death to the IDF鈥, before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans 鈥渟tart a riot鈥 at his bandmate鈥檚 coming court appearance. As police examine videos of their comments, Mr Streeting told Sky News鈥 Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips: 鈥淚 thought it鈥檚 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.鈥 The health secretary said what people should be talking about in the context of Israel and Gaza was the humanitarian catastrophe and the fact that Israeli settlers attacked a Christian village this week.

And I find it pretty revolting we鈥檝e got to a state in this conflict where you鈥檙e supposed to sort of cheer on one side or the other like it鈥檚 a football team.鈥 Asked if the BBC should have cut the live feed, he said the broadcaster had questions to answer, but that he did not know what the editorial and operational 鈥渃hallenges鈥 are of taking such action. Avon and Somerset Police said video evidence would be assessed by officers 鈥渢o determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation鈥. On social media, the Israeli Embassy said it was 鈥渄eeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival鈥. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch called the scenes 鈥済rotesque鈥, writing on X: 鈥淕lorifying violence against Jews isn鈥檛 edgy. The West is playing with fire if we allow this sort of behaviour to go unchecked.鈥 A BBC spokesperson said: 鈥淪ome of the comments made during Bob Vylan鈥檚 set were deeply offensive. 鈥淒uring 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.鈥 Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan鈥檚 performance, a UK government spokesperson said. 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. In reference to his bandmate鈥檚 coming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would 鈥渟tart a riot outside the courts鈥, before clarifying: 鈥淣o riots just love and support, and support for Palestine.鈥 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 Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be 鈥渁ppropriate鈥. During the performance, Caireallain said: 鈥淭he Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn鈥檛 want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.鈥 He also said a 鈥渂ig thank you to the Eavis family鈥 and said 鈥渢hey stood strong鈥 amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up.
