- Irish rap trio Kneecap marked Sir Keir Starmer's resignation with a pointed "farewell" video in Irish, posted hours after the Prime Minister addressed the nation.
- The video, captioned "Slán Keir," mocked Sir Keir's time in office by juxtaposing clips of him criticising the band with footage of their performances, including chants of "f*** Keir Starmer."
- Sir Keir's original remarks against Kneecap stemmed from a terror charge against band member Mo Chara for displaying a Hezbollah flag, a charge that was later dismissed as "instituted unlawfully."
- Known for their politically charged music, Kneecap frequently incorporates "Free Palestine" chants into their live shows.
- The trio further criticised Sir Keir in their song "Liars Tale," condemning his stance on Israel’s military offensive in Gaza and his relationship with the US.
