Summary

Today, Avon and Somerset police launched a criminal investigation into sets by bands Bob Vylan and Kneecap at Glastonbury festival on Saturday.

Adam is joined by BBC media and culture editor Katie Razzall, who reported from the festival over the weekend, to discuss the investigation and the BBC’s apology for not cutting the livestream of Bob Vylan’s performance.

And, Faisal and Chris are back for another day of dissecting the government’s change to their welfare proposals. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall confirmed the concessions in a statement to the House of Commons on Monday afternoon, in a bid to stave off a revolt at the vote on Tuesday.
