He was warned that his position is “untenable” and confidence in the broadcaster is collapsing on his watch.

There is anger at the airing of chants of “death, death to the IDF” by Bob Vylan singer Pascal Robinson-Foster. Former policing minister Sir Mike Penning urged Mr Davie to quit.

He said: “His position is completely untenable.”
