Rap group Kneecap should not be allowed to perform at Glastonbury although the final decision is for the festival organisers, according to a British cabinet minister.

Commons Leader Lucy Powell said she believed “no-one in this House” would want to see the group at the festival, adding: “We’ll all continue to say so loud and clear.”
