The UK Prime Minister has said what Irish language rap trio Kneecap stand for and say is "completely intolerable". Keir Starmer said the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) would be looking at a judgment that a member of the group will not face a terror trial "very carefully". The CPS appealed against the decision at the High Court at a hearing in January, with the Kneecap rapper opposing the challenge.
