8 d. ago Football transfer rumours: Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott on his way to Leipzig?

Today’s rumours are counting the cloudsIt has been one of the great conundrums of this window, leaving people pontificating over what Harvey Elliott should do next. The midfielder was, arguably, the leading light in England’s European Under-21 Championship triumph but it still feels like minutes will be hard to come by at Liverpool. Many have suggested he would suit the Bundesliga and RB Leipzig seem to think the same and have got in touch with Liverpool to see if something can be worked out.Supposedly Newcastle have a plan B if they do not land Benjamin Sesko from Leipzig, although considering they have missed out on so many players this summer, it is more like a plan T. The latest contingency walks, talks and gets booked just like Nicolas Jackson, mainly because it is the Chelsea striker.

1 week ago The Guardian view on statues: new monuments reflect changing values and reinvigorate the public realm | Editorial

It is refreshing to see women’s achievements celebrated, and statuary become more representative of a diverse nationEfforts to ensure that modern values are reflected in public sculpture began well before the Black Lives Matter protests five years ago. Those demonstrations saw the statue of the Bristol slave trader Edward Colston dragged from its pedestal and dumped in the harbour, while multiple Confederate monuments were removed from cities in the southern US.Statues in Britain have gradually reflected evolving social values. A statue of the suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst was unveiled in Westminster in 1930, two years after women were finally granted the vote on equal terms to men. Nelson Mandela joined Winston Churchill in Parliament Square in 2007. The nurse Mary Seacole became the first named black, Caribbean woman to be honoured with a UK statue in 2016.
