BBC should not show Kneecap's Glastonbury set, says Culture Secretary
Speaking on Politics Live, Nandy agreed with Keir Starmer, who said it was not "appropriate" for the band to play the festival after one of their members was charged with a terror offence.
Liam Og O hAnnaidh was charged for allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in London in November last year.
Last week, the 27-year-old, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates Naoise O Caireallain and JJ O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in 'Free Mo Chara' T-shirts.

He was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing at the same court on August 20.
Nandy said: 'This is a band who have thrived on the oxygen of publicity, and as well as the terrorist offences, there have been very serious comments they've made encouraging attacks on elected members of parliament, not from my own party, but it is my job to stand up against that.'
When questioned whether the BBC should cover the band's set, she said: 'It's horrific – personally I do not want to see that on TV screens.'

Has Starmer's leadership been weakened by Labour's welfare revolt? Join The Independent Debate
With more than 120 Labour MPs backing a rebellious amendment and tensions mounting over controversial welfare reforms, Sir Keir Starmer is facing one of the biggest challenges to his leadership since taking office. The prime minister's plan to restrict access to disability benefits and overhaul sickness-related support has triggered a furious backlash from within his own party, forcing him into emergency talks to avoid a humiliating Commons defeat. The rebellion, focused on concerns that the reforms could deepen poverty and undermine Labour's core values, comes despite warnings from party leadership that dissenters could face deselection. While Starmer has insisted reform is essential to fix a 'broken system' and deliver 'Labour values of fairness,' critics argue that the proposed cuts mark a worrying departure from those very values. Behind the scenes, dissatisfaction with his top team – particularly chief of staff Morgan McSweeney – is also growing, with some MPs calling for a 'regime change' in Downing Street. The leadership is hoping to buy time and make concessions before next week's crucial vote, but the damage may already be done. In a poll of Independent readers, 49 per cent said they felt that the reforms unfairly targeted vulnerable people. They warned that the cuts will 'break people,' leave carers 'destitute,' and impose a human cost many feel is being ignored. On the other side of the debate, 28 per cent said they agreed with Starmer's reforms, while an additional 23 per cent expressed general support for welfare reform, though not for the proposals currently on the table. We want to hear from you. Do you think Starmer's leadership has been weakened by this welfare rebellion? Or is he showing the kind of resolve required to govern?

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood in Newtown
Strictly Come Dancing star Craig Revel Horwood will be bringing his national tour to Newtown for an evening of music, dance, drama and unforgettable stories.

The Australian-born star is promising fans a night of 'fab-u-lous' glamour, behind-the-scenes tales from the Strictly set, and big songs from his album, titled 'Revelations: Songs Boys Don't Sing', at The Hafren theatre on May 16, 2026. The undisputed king of the glitter ball released his first album last year which features ' Don't Rain On My Parade ' from Funny Girl, ' On My Own ' from Les Misérables and, amongst many others, ' Little Girls ' from Annie, a song that Craig has sung in many productions playing Miss Hannigan. Craig said: 'Throughout my musical journey, I've had the privilege of performing as both a dancer and a singer in numerous musicals. However, this album holds a special place in my heart as I've had the opportunity to select songs that truly resonate with me. 'Each track on the album is traditionally associated with female singers, which presented a delightful challenge. I embraced this opportunity to record these songs, knowing that it might be my only chance to give them my own interpretation. 'The album is a perfect blend of drama, pathos, romance, and a touch of high camp. I've poured my heart and soul into every note, hoping that you will love each and every song.

Simon Case: Farage should talk to civil servants to prepare for government
Nigel Farage should be invited for talks with civil servants to help him prepare for government, a former Cabinet Secretary has said. Simon Case said the Reform UK leader should be allowed to hold 'government access talks' before the next election. Such a move would be controversial because the talks are usually open only to the Leader of the Opposition: at present Kemi Badenoch. But last month, Sir Keir Starmer declared Reform his main opposition, saying the Conservatives had 'run out of road'. Reform is well ahead of the Conservatives in the polls, with a MRP poll on Thursday suggesting Mr Farage's party was on 26 per cent support compared with the Tories on 18 per cent. Such a result could see Reform win most seats in a general election, but not enough for an outright majority. The poll comes after Reform's impressive results in May's local elections, when it seized 10 county authorities from the Tories. In the Commons, however, the party only has five MPs. Mr Case served as cabinet secretary, the most senior civil servant in the country, from 2020 to 2024. Speaking on the Politics Inside Out podcast, hosted by Gloria de Piero and Jonathan Ashworth, both former Labour MPs, he was asked whether he would be advising his former civil service colleagues to consider offering access talks to Mr Farage in advance of the next election. The former cabinet secretary said: 'Yes. If they're still doing well in the polls, absolutely. 'If it looked credible that Reform could either form a government by themselves or be part of a government, then absolutely.' A Reform source said: 'It's quite clear that the next election is going to be Reform or Labour. 'We would expect the offer in advance of the next election with our polling, as is the norm for any potential incoming government. We will soon see if the civil service are prepared to play by the rules or not.' Access talks usually begin in the months before an expected general election, and have to be given the go-ahead by the prime minister. Usually they are initiated by the leader of the opposition, who writes a letter to the prime minister requesting that they start. The prime minister can offer talks to smaller parties, but that has never happened. In 2015, David Cameron refused Nicola Sturgeon's request that the SNP be granted talks. Gordon Brown allowed talks to begin with the Tories some 15 months before the 2010 election, but the Liberal Democrats were not invited. The party later went into coalition with the Conservatives. Mr Case acquired notoriety in his job as cabinet secretary when he was asked by Boris Johnson, the then prime minister, to undertake an inquiry into parties held in Whitehall while Covid restrictions were in place. He had to step down from the inquiry a day later following reports a party had been held in his office. The report was eventually carried out by Sue Gray. The Telegraph Lockdown Files – leaked messages from the Covid period – revealed Mr Case described Mr Johnson as a 'nationally distrusted figure' and warned the public were unlikely to follow isolation rules laid down by him. Two days after Liz Truss took over as prime minister, he had to inform her that Queen Elizbeth II had died. Mr Case stood down at the end of 2024, as he is suffering from a neurological condition which means he is unable to walk without a stick. In June, he was awarded a life peerage, and will sit in the House of Lords as a crossbencher.
