Kneecap thank supporters who came out in force for rapper's Westminster court hearing
KNEECAP has thanked the hundreds of supporters who came out in force as band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh attended a hearing at Westminster Magistrate's Court yesterday. The rapper, who performs in the Irish language hip hop group under the name Mo Chara, was met with throngs of flag-waving supporters as well as journalists and photographers as he arrived at the court. In May the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command charged the Belfast native over a Palestinian flag allegedly displayed at Kneecap's show at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, London on November 21, 2024. The force said that the 27-year-old displayed the flag "in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation, namely Hezbollah". Kneecap band member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh leaves Westminster Magistrates' Court yesterday, where his hearing was adjourned until September (Pic: Getty Images) Following his first appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court on June 18, he was released on unconditional bail to return yesterday. He was released on unconditional bail once again as this week's hearing - which was set to establish whether chief magistrate Judge Paul Goldspring has jurisdiction to hear the case - was adjourned. He is now due to return to the court to hear the judge's findings on September 26. Ó hAnnaidh's bandmates Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh, who perform as Moglai Bap and DJ Provai respectively, joined him at the hearing. The band later thanked those supporters who were also in attendance in a social media post. 'A massive GRMA to everyone who came out to support us as their carnival of distraction rolls on,' they said. 'We will be back on September 26 for the Court to determine jurisdiction, we have set out why it does not.' They added: 'Kneecap is not the story. Palestine is the story. The British government are aiding a genocide, do not stop calling them out.' Guildford Four and Birmingham Six lawyer Gareth Pierce is leading the legal team defending Ó hAnnaidh as he fights the charge against him. The team also includes Belfast-based Darragh Mackin of Phoenix Law, Brenda Campbell KC, Jude Bunting KC and Blinne Ni Ghralaigh KC.

Jessie J relives heartbreaking moment she was told she had cancer as she blames disease for ‘robbing' memories with son
OPENING UP Jessie J relives heartbreaking moment she was told she had cancer as she blames disease for 'robbing' memories with son JESSIE J has opened up about the heartbreaking moment she was told she had breast cancer. The 37-year-old revealed her shock diagnosis to fans in June, before undergoing a mastectomy later that month. 6 Jessie J opened up about the moment she was told she has breast cancer on the Great Company podcast Credit: tiktok/@greatcompanypodcast 6 The singer underwent a mastectomy in June as part of her treatment Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 6 She added she blames the disease for "robbing" her of "memories" with two-year-old son Sky Credit: Instagram 6 Jamie Laing looked shell-shocked as Jessie spoke to him on his Great Company podcast Credit: tiktok/@greatcompanypodcast And now the singer, real name Jessie Cornish, has spoken for the first time about how she learned she was suffering from the disease. She opened up to Jamie Laing on his Great Company podcast, as she said she was initially told following a check up and ultrasound that "it looked healthy" and wasn't something doctors were worried about. However, Jessie's symptoms - including a "really achy" arm and pins and needles in her hand every morning - continued, and led to her having a biopsy the day after her 37th birthday. Her doctor then said she would "phone you on Monday if it's not good news". That weekend, Jessie kept herself busy, and had just come off a call talking about her BAFTAs performance when she got a text from the expert, asking her if she could Zoom. "So I'm thinking, oh, it's going to be nothing because it's a Zoom, but it was Monday. So I was like, hmm," she said. The doctor initially began the video call by asking Jessie if she was sitting down, at which point she knew that it was bad news. "And she went, I'm really sorry, but it's all come back as like high grade cancer cells," Jessie recalled. "And I just burst into tears. You know, that was my normal... that was a healthy reaction." She also spoke about how the disease has affected her being a mum, to son Sky, who turned two in May. Jessie J goes back to work for first time since undergoing surgery as she reveals changes inspired by breast cancer battle "I feel like cancer's robbed me of memories with my boy," she sighed. "Like yesterday I sobbed, because I miss my boy. "I can't be a mum like I want to be a mum. And I feel robbed. "I feel like cancer's robbed me of memories with my boy." Jessie was praised for her honesty in the comments section after a video of the podcast interview was shared on TikTok, with one writing: "This is so so vital to list out symptoms like this. "It helps women be prepared for this kind of experience." "I had the same reaction, got told it was all clear on the scan, went back a year later knowing in my gut something was up and it was cancer," another added. "31, no family history of cancer either." "She is so so lovely," a third praised. "One of the few out there who's truthful and honest about everything and on top of that the voice of a thousand angels. "Hope she goes easy on herself and the mum guilt. "You can't be everything at the same time and you can tell how close their bond is." 6 She's been told that the cancer hasn't spread since she had the surgery Credit: Instagram
