  • It’s amazing that to gage if Corbyn supports Sultana’s party we have to read between the lines of an interview with ITV from a few days ago instead of Corbyn just stating he’s with the initiative.

    Either the reports are true, or this is a major comms failure on the yet-to-be-named party’s part. Having the initial talk of your new party being if the supposed co-founder is involved isn’t a good look. Corbyn has a lot to be rightfully mad at the media for, but this is one is on him.

    BBC statement on Glastonbury 2025

    "Millions of people tuned in to enjoy Glastonbury this weekend across the BBC’s output but one performance within our livestreams included comments that were deeply offensive. The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury’s condemnation of the performance.

    "The performance was part of a live stream of the West Holts stage on BBC iPlayer. The judgment on Saturday to issue a warning on screen while streaming online was in line with our editorial guidelines. In addition, we took the decision not to make the performance available on demand. The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.

    “In light of this weekend, we will look at our guidance around live events so we can be sure teams are clear on when it is acceptable to keep output on air.”
