30.06.2025 โข Chants Bring Consequences
โจThe UK media on June 30th largely focused on the escalating fallout from the Glastonbury festival's controversial performances. Early in the day, discussions centered on 'hate speech' and BBC's airing of anti-IDF chants. This quickly evolved into concrete consequences, with performer Bob Vylan dropped by his talent agency and facing US visa revocations. By late afternoon, a criminal investigation was launched into his and Kneecap's performances. Domestically, the Labour Party's internal struggle over welfare reform continued to draw attention, with rebels threatening to reject the bill and demanding further concessions. Internationally, the High Court's ruling, deeming the export of UK F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel lawful, marked a significant development amidst ongoing reports of Israeli air strikes in Gaza. Widespread heatwave conditions across Europe and the UK also maintained a consistent presence in headlines.
