When rapper Bob Vylan led chants of “death to the IDF” at Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, the BBC did not cut away but instead continued to broadcast the event live.

Now the PM has demanded an explanation, with the Tories’ Chris Philp even suggesting the national broadcaster itself should be prosecuted.

Israel’s deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel tells Camilla and Tim that the BBC’s reaction has been “pathetic” and that director general Tim Davie should consider resigning.

Plus, the Government has been forced into its latest climbdown after more than 120 Labour MPs threatened to kybosh its benefits bill. But former work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan-Smith tells The Daily T that the Government’s welfare reforms don’t go nearly far enough.
