The BBC has denied it cancelled Lily Allen’s Newsnight appearance because of her controversial comments about the Grenfell Tower blaze on Channel 4 News.
BBC Newsnight editor Ian Katz elaborated the decision on Twitter, writing: “We generally prioritise iviews with people who can be held accountable.”
Allen later expressed her views on Twitter throughout the evening, taking into account Snow’s comments.
Allen isn’t the only figure from the world being vocal about politics following the incident: Mobo award-winning artist Akala expressed his belief that the victims died “because they were poor.”
