Juliet Stevenson, who has married Hugh Brody, her partner of 29 years, on December 11 last year, the Londoner can reveal. The two tied the knot “at a small registry office in Suffolk,” before Christmas Stevenson tells us. Previously the Truly, Madly, Deeply star, above , has said she has never “seen the point” of marriage, calling it an “old-fashioned idea”.
But she recently explained why she had changed her mind, joking that it was partly for tax reasons. “If you’re not married, you’ve got children together and you’ve lived together for decades, they take a lot of tax away from you,” Stevenson, 65, said cheerfully. “You stay with somebody because you love them.
. . why do I need a piece of paper? But I’ve changed my mind.
I love him very, very much. We’ve been on a huge journey together and I like the idea of standing up in front of the world. .
. and saying, ‘This is my man; this is my person’. ” There was another factor too.
“Once marriage started including same-sex marriage, I thought, ‘Okay, this institution has really changed for the better,’” she told Australian media. A happy moment. KEIR STARMER takes a lot of flak from his Left wing, but one salvo over the weekend backfired.
The Skwawkbox, a hard-Left website, told its readers that Starmer was trying “desperately” to tell voters he was not Jeremy Corbyn and had even rebranded Labour as New Labour. Accompanying their post was an image of a conference centre near Parliament emblazoned with New Labour flags. One problem: it was the set of the new series of The Crown.
