It came after The Sun on Sunday revealed that Sir Keir Starmer said it was “deeply concerning” that West had been booked despite previously making antisemitic remarks, as well as glorifying the Nazi leader in his song Heil Hitler.

“There was no way they would allow Kanye to perform at the club given its history with the Jewish community.

West has previously apologised for his remarks and blamed them on his bipolar disorder.
