Prime Minister Keir Starmer posted on X at 2:57pm on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, stating that Kanye West "should never have been invited to headline Wireless" following the Home Office's decision to cancel the festival. In the post, Starmer declared that the government "stands firmly with the Jewish community" and vowed to fight the "poison of antisemitism," asserting that officials would "always take the action necessary to protect the public and uphold our values."
This statement, issued less than an hour after Festival Republic confirmed the cancellation, escalated his previous criticism of the booking as "deeply concerning" to a direct condemnation of the invitation itself. The cancellation occurred after the Home Office withdrew West's Electronic Travel Authorisation, denying him entry into the UK amid widespread backlash from Jewish community leaders and the withdrawal of major sponsors like Pepsi and Diageo.
