28.06.2025 โข The Day the Chants Sparked Probe
โจThe day began with continued scrutiny of Starmer's welfare U-turn, following concessions to Labour rebels earlier in the week. Newspapers reported him defending the policy reversal as a "moral imperative" while facing criticism for his "tired excuse" for past immigration comments. As the day progressed, focus shifted to the Glastonbury festival, where Starmer faced direct public dissent. In the afternoon, controversial chants against Starmer and pro-Palestine slogans by acts like Kneecap and Bob Vylan escalated into a major story. By evening, these "death to the IDF" chants led to widespread outrage, police investigations, and questions directed at the BBC for their live broadcast. This evolving Glastonbury controversy, combining political opposition with international tensions, emerged as the dominant domestic narrative, overshadowing the persistent international coverage of the US Supreme Court's expansion of Trump's executive powers.
