On-screen warnings issued by the BBC about discriminatory language during Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set were “not good enough”, a minister has said.

The BBC is facing questions after the musician Bobby Vylan – of the punk-rap duo Bob Vylan – led crowds at the festival’s West Holts stage in chants of “Free, free Palestine” and “Death, death to the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]” on Saturday.
