"Pressure from MPs and Jewish groups is mounting to cancel Kanye West's appearance at Wireless Festival and prevent him from entering the UK over his previous antisemitic comments."
"The Conservative Party has urged the government to refuse him a visa because allowing someone with his track record to headline a major public event sends entirely the wrong message."
"Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson stated that West's past comments were completely unacceptable and absolutely disgusting, emphasizing that there is no place for hatred or antisemitism."
