Rick Davies, co‑founder and lead singer of Supertramp, died at 81 after a decade-long cancer battle. He sang on Goodbye Stranger. Born in Swindon in 1944, Davies was diagnosed with myeloma in 2015 and canceled a European tour. He died at his Long Island home.

In Birmingham, the council began removing Union Jack and St George’s flags from lampposts in Weoley Castle and Northfield, citing safety; about 200 items have been removed since January.

Residents say the flags unite the community; some fear intimidation. Starmer backs the flags; Farage urges broader display. Some view the display as "progressive," while others warn it could signal the "far right."
