American political commentator Hasan Piker was scheduled to meet Green Party leader Zack Polanski and former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in Britain before being denied entry by the Home Office, Middle East Eye has learnt.
Sources with knowledge of the matter told MEE Piker was set to appear on Polanski's podcast, Bold Politics.
On Monday morning, Polanski condemned the decision to ban Piker and Cenk Uygur, the host and creator of The Young Turks, saying: "People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already."
He said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood "needs to explain this strange and worrying decision, and Andy Burnham needs to make his view clear."
"A Labour government [is] doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government."
