Given that the result of the EU referendum was likely to have a monumental impact whatever the outcome, Jeremy Corbyn’s plan to speak at this weekend’s Glastonbury festival was always a curious choice. Now faced with Labour MPs calling for his removal, it seems Corbyn has had second thoughts. The Labour leader has pulled out of his planned appearance at Glastonbury festival on Sunday to focus on the issues thrown up by the ‘momentous’ EU result.
The news will just add to the woes of its festival-goers. When the result reached Worthy Farm this morning, tears were shed across the site. Mr S has since been passed a photo of an article on the matter from the Glastonbury Free Press. In this, they say they will shout for revolt and sing protest songs — before concluding that the fault does not lie with anyone at the music festival.

However, a poll by the Times found that there up to 15,000 people at Glastonbury who didn’t vote but would have voted Remain if they had. Perhaps they ought to take some responsibility as a side to their protest tunes.
