The Glastonbury festival's controversial chants, which began emerging on the previous day, became the UK's dominant editorial focus on June 29th. In the morning, police probes into "death to the IDF" chants were widely reported, with initial condemnations from a minister and festival organizers. As the day progressed into the afternoon and evening, the controversy intensified as Prime Minister Starmer and other Labour figures explicitly condemned the "appalling anti-IDF hate speech." Starmer specifically demanded explanations from the BBC regarding its live broadcast. Some outlets continued to frame the festival as promoting antisemitism, while another performer led chants against the Reform Party. Concurrently, a significant European heatwave and wildfires garnered increasing attention, alongside reports of Trump urging Netanyahu towards a Gaza ceasefire.
