The video, captioned "Slán Keir," mocked Sir Keir's time in office by juxtaposing clips of him criticising the band with footage of their performances, including chants of "f*** Keir Starmer." Sir Keir's original remarks against Kneecap stemmed from a terror charge against band member Mo Chara for displaying a Hezbollah flag, a charge that was later dismissed as "instituted unlawfully." Known for their politically charged music, Kneecap frequently incorporates "Free Palestine" chants into their live shows. The trio further criticised Sir Keir in their song "Liars Tale," condemning his stance on Israel’s military offensive in Gaza and his relationship with the US.
