Keir Starmer has led criticism across the political spectrum of chants at Glastonbury for “death” to the Israeli military as the BBC faced pressure to explain why it kept broadcasting.

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 (Israel Defence Forces)”.
