  • 14,250 grant Kneecap applied for last year.

The High Court has ruled that the decision by Kemi Badenoch, the Business and Trade Secretary, to block a £15,000 grant to the Northern Irish rap group Kneecap was unlawful.

The court found that Badenoch's refusal was based on the group's political views, which contravened the funding scheme's rules.
