Sir Keir Starmer and his family are at the centre of a controversy involving backstage access to a Taylor Swift concert, after police were reportedly pressured into providing an escort and a private meeting with the singer and her mother.

The Daily Mail focuses on the trial of Sara Sharif’s father, who stands accused of her murder through physical assault.

Keir Starmer is under pressure to initiate an independent inquiry after a senior UK law officer reportedly intervened to help secure a taxpayer-funded police escort for Taylor Swift.

The Daily Mail reveals that the King has expressed to republican advocates his willingness to allow Australia to replace him as head of state.
