Wife of former PM takes part in designer Edeline Lee’s show inspired by the Greek myth of Sisyphus

Victoria Starmer has taken part in a London fashion week show, in one of her first public appearances since her husband, Keir Starmer, stepped down as prime minister.

Lady Starmer appeared at Sunday’s Edeline Lee show. The London-based, Canadian British designer’s clothes are a favourite of the Princess of Wales, and have also been worn by celebrities including singer Taylor Swift and actor and screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Some fans were hesitant to turn the page after Sheeran’s tour resumed after the removal of Macklemore, who spoke out in support of Palestine

“This is not usually how I would open the show,” Ed Sheeran told the crowd at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday night, a humble preamble to a three-plus-minute speech addressing the greatest controversy of his career. Shaky-voiced and stealing glances at the monitor at his feet, he looked every bit the chastened superstar.

“I have tried in my career not to be a political commentator of any kind, because I want my music and shows to be about unity, not division, about humanity, not politics, but this is a humanitarian issue and I cannot hide how I feel about it any more,” Sheeran said. He described the Hamas-led attack at the Nova music festival in Israel on 7 October 2023, as “horrific” and expressed heartbreak over civilian deaths in Gaza and the West Bank, describing the situation as “catastrophic and unjustified and disproportionate”.

Perhaps it is testament to the progress Leeds have made since returning to the Premier League just over a year ago that there was discontent at failing to move up to third after drawing with Crystal Palace. Instead, Daniel Farke’s side enter the prolonged international break in fifth and unbeaten, which is a fine achievement in itself.

Apart from Tyrick Mitchell’s disallowed goal, neither side gave much impression they would secure the points. For Palace, it was a first clean sheet of the Premier League season, having conceded at least twice in their opening four games, relieving pressure on Pierre Sage, while Leeds suffered their first blank.

At the final whistle, victory secured, Andoni Iraola embraced both his current players and those he guided to new heights at Bournemouth last season. Liverpool are not yet the overwhelming, suffocating force Iraola hopes they become but they did enough to claim three points here, Alexander Isak capping a peculiar performance with a simple finish. Cody Gakpo was again the architect, the Dutchman the supplier for all four of Isak’s goals this season. Isak’s only other shot before scoring was to balloon a first-time effort high and wide but his second-half strike was sufficient to return Liverpool to winning ways in the Premier League.

In midweek, Iraola was rooting for his former club on their European bow but promised a businesslike return to Bournemouth and stepped off one of the two Liverpool team coaches with a game face. Tommy Elphick, who captained Bournemouth to the Premier League in 2015 and followed Iraola to Liverpool, embraced old colleagues on the pitch side before the warm up and Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez shared an embrace with Alex Toth, their Hungary teammate. Kerkez replaced Kostas Tsimikas at left-back in one of three changes from their stalemate with Fulham.

Camiel Eurlings is een brokkenpiloot, er gaat altijd wat mis, schrijft Marcel van Roosmalen. Het old boys-netwerkje waarin hij groot werd, komt mankracht te kort om alle rotzooi in de doofpot te proppen, er valt de hele tijd wat uit.

De eerste reacties op een akkoord tussen de Verenigde Staten, Denemarken en Groenland zijn positief. Trump zegt dat hij permanente controle krijgt, terwijl Denemarken en Groenland zelf benadrukken dat de soevereiniteit gewaarborgd is. De inhoud is onbekend, maar de NAVO kan in ieder geval opgelucht adem halen nu deze crisis voor even bezworen lijkt.

KOPENHAGEN (ANP/DPA) - De Deense premier Mette Frederiksen geeft geen details over een akkoord met de Verenigde Staten over Groenland totdat dit daadwerkelijk ondertekend is. Tegen de Deense omroep TV 2 zei Frederiksen ook dat zij en de Groenlandse premier Jens-Frederik Nielsen geen deal zouden ondertekenen "als die niet goed is voor Groenland".

De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump kondigde vrijdag op zijn platform Truth Social een doorbraak aan in het door de VS gecreëerde geschil. De regeringen van Denemarken en Groenland lieten vervolgens weten dat in de komende week een akkoord zou kunnen worden ondertekend.

Trump schreef in zijn bericht onder meer dat het akkoord de VS de vrijheid geeft "om te doen wat nodig is in Groenland" om de veiligheid van zowel Groenland als de VS te waarborgen. Denemarken en Groenland hebben Trumps lezing van de inhoud van het akkoord niet bevestigd.

Volgens Deense media ontmoet Frederiksen Trump tijdens haar bezoek aan New York, waar komende week de Algemene Vergadering van de VN is.
