Concierge firm co-founded by queen’s nephew went on ‘ill-timed’ hiring spree before Iran war

Quintessentially almost quadrupled staff in Middle East and Asia less than year before wealthy began to flee Gulf

The embattled luxury concierge service co-founded by Queen Camilla’s nephew Ben Elliot embarked on what appeared to be an inopportune hiring spree in the Middle East and Asia before wealthy individuals began fleeing the region because of the US-Israel war on Iran.

Quintessentially almost quadrupled staff in the regions from 22 to 84 during its financial year to 30 April 2025, according to newly released annual accounts, which again reported multimillion-pound losses and warned of “material uncertainty” about its future.

Women behind the lens: ‘After state massacres, I began burning the prints as an act of mourning’

Iranian visual journalist Parisa Azadi set her images alight in response to January’s violent repression by the regime, not to erase them, but to convey ‘rage, grief and refusal’

In September 2022, as revolution spread across Iran, I witnessed it from Dubai through the unstable glow of phone screens. Raw videos surfaced daily before disappearing into internet blackouts: women burning their hijabs, young men wounded by metal pellets, teenagers dragged into unmarked vans.

Unable to return safely to Iran, where I had spent six years documenting life under repression, I felt helpless. This work emerged from that pain and is both testimony and absence: the public violence of the state and my private, long-distance bearing witness.

Reversing Thatcher’s failed legacy of privatisation can be a Labour vote-winner. If you see Keir, tell him | Julian Coman

The Tell Sid campaign promised to make the working man rich, but in reality the selling of public assets made us all poorer

In the summer of 1987, as life in Britain was being steadily reshaped by Margaret Thatcher, I landed a temporary job as an electrician’s mate in a steel-drum factory. I was a truly useless assistant, and justified my existence by singing songs to entertain my boss as he worked. As I recall, by the time I left Stuart had come round to quite liking Bob Dylan, but still had no time for the gothic gloominess of the early Cure.

While I handed him tools he didn’t need, and failed to locate the ones he did, we occasionally talked about politics. Stuart was a gentle man in his mid-20s, already married and hoping to buy a house. He was also, it turned out, a cautious believer in Thatcher’s promise of a “people’s capitalism” in which working people would get a piece of the action. Prior to my coming to “help” him, he was one of the millions who had responded to the previous year’s Tell Sid ad campaign and bought shares in newly privatised British Gas.

Vote Lib Dem or ‘regret it’ living under a Reform council, Davey tells voters

Party leader says vote for Labour or Greens in closely run seats will result in Reform victory at local elections

Voters in the home counties will “regret it for a long time” if they do not back the Liberal Democrats and wake up to a Reform-led council, Ed Davey has said.

The Lib Dems leader has identified five councils – East Surrey, West Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex and Huntingdonshire – where his party could win overall control, as well as swathes of the former “blue wall” where Davey said it was a “straight fight” between his party and Reform at the English local elections.

Sliders and slaw, and cheesy, nutty wedges: Simon Rogan’s spring cabbage recipes

Cheesy vegetarian sliders with pickles and slaw, and caramelised cheesy cabbage wedges

Cabbage is one of my favourite ingredients. I love it for its versatility, and also because it’s nutritious and incredibly satisfying to cook with. I’ve been putting cabbage on my menus for more than two decades now, and at Our Farm in Cartmel, Cumbria, we grow hundreds of varieties to use across my restaurants’ kitchens throughout the year. For me, cabbage has always been one of the real heroes in the kitchen, and today’s recipes are about creating generous, seasonal dishes to share with it at their centre.

Explosão mata 9 pessoas em mina de carvão na Colômbia

Mineiros ficam presos após explosão em mina na Colômbia, em 4 de maio de 2026 Jorge Emilio Rey Ángel/X Nove pessoas morreram e seis foram resgatadas após uma explosão em uma mina legal de carvão nesta segunda-feira (4), na Colômbia. Segundo o governo regional, o acidente ocorreu "aparentemente por acúmulo de gases". ✅ Siga o canal de notícias internacionais do g1 no WhatsApp A explosão aconteceu em Sutatausa, município localizado a cerca de 74 quilômetros ao norte de Bogotá. Inicialmente, 15 mineiros ficaram presos. As seis pessoas evacuadas com vida foram levadas ao Hospital Regional de Ubaté, onde recebem atendimento médico. A Agência Nacional de Mineração (ANM) da Colômbia confirmou as mortes e prestou solidariedade às famílias. Equipes de resgate foram enviadas ao local. Imagens divulgadas pelo governador mostram ambulâncias na entrada da mina. Segundo o governador de Cundinamarca, Jorge Emilio Rey, os trabalhadores estavam a cerca de 600 metros de profundidade. Acidentes em minas são frequentes no país e costumam ser fatais, sobretudo em explorações de carvão e em operações ilegais ou artesanais. VÍDEOS: mais assistidos do g1 Comunicado oficial da Agência Nacional de Mineração da Colômbia (leia a tradução abaixo): Comunicado oficial da Agência Nacional de Mineração (ANM) da Colômbia Reprodução/Redes Sociais "Seis mineiros resgatados e nove mortos em emergência na mina de Sutatausa, Cundinamarca Bogotá, 4 de maio de 2026. A Agência Nacional de Mineração (ANM) informa à opinião pública que, após a emergência registrada no município de Sutatausa, na mina La Ciscuda, operada por Carbonera Los Pinos S.A.S., confirma-se o falecimento de nove pessoas. A ANM expressa sua solidariedade às famílias das vítimas e lamenta este acidente minerário, no qual, graças às oportunas tarefas de resgate, seis mineiros foram retirados com vida. O incidente, ocasionado por uma explosão dentro da mina, afetou um total de 15 trabalhadores. As seis pessoas evacuadas com vida foram levadas ao Hospital Regional de Ubaté, onde recebem atendimento médico. Desde o momento da emergência, equipes de Salvamento Minero coordenadas pela ANM estiveram à frente das operações de resgate, atendimento e verificação na área. No exercício de suas funções de inspeção, vigilância e controle, a ANM realizou uma visita técnica em 9 de abril a esta operação minerária, na qual foram emitidas recomendações para fortalecer as condições de segurança, entre elas: Atualizar os trabalhos de inertização dentro do projeto, devido à presença de pó de carvão, incluindo a instalação de barreiras em zonas de transferência como silos e outros pontos críticos. Realizar a hermetização completa das áreas abandonadas, onde foram detectadas emissões de gases, especialmente metano, com potencial de gerar acumulações perigosas. Incluir na matriz de riscos os perigos associados a desmoronamentos, explosões e controle do pó de carvão. Como a ANM já havia alertado em suas visitas de inspeção, os depósitos de carvão podem acumular gases como metano, além de concentrações de pó de carvão. Por isso, exige-se a implementação de sistemas de ventilação adequados e controles permanentes para mitigar riscos dentro das operações minerárias. Nesse sentido, a ANM tem promovido campanhas contínuas de prevenção, capacitação e sensibilização em segurança minerária, orientadas a fortalecer boas práticas operacionais e a gestão de riscos nesse tipo de exploração. A Energia da Nossa Gente A entidade reitera seu compromisso com o acompanhamento permanente das operações minerárias no país, com o objetivo de proteger a vida dos trabalhadores e promover uma mineração segura."
