KATE WINSLET SPOUSE SERIES

The London Eye, off-limits for many European students.ĭoes Britain really need to strengthen its borders against European youngsters on school trips? Forthcoming post-Brexit requirements are likely to cut the number of European young people visiting the UK by half. Welcome to Britain, unless you’re a young European Still, every cloud and all that… At least the one person who seems to like Fox happens to be a multimillionaire. Now what? Will Fox finally admit (to himself, if no one else) that he may have taken a wrong turn? He trashed his career and his reputation to spend more than a million quid of someone else’s money to stand as a “man of the people” and ended up only just beating the equivalent of Screaming Lord Sutch. His mayoral war chest, like all of his funding, came from Jeremy Hosking, the wealthy, Brexit-supporting fund manager. What a mysterious coincidence.īack to Fox. Other news from the Electoral Commission includes the large Tory donation from Peter Cruddas, the businessman Boris Johnson made a peer last December against House of Lords advice. Then again, Fox managed to beat Count Binface and you can’t take that away from him. It would take a saint not to laugh on learning from the Electoral Commission that Laurence Fox (actor turned anti-woke-Flashman) received almost as much money in donations (£1,153,300) as the Liberal Democrats for the London mayoral race and yet his Reclaim party still only managed to come sixth, garnering 1.9% of the vote share. Laurence Fox: bankrolled, but to no avail.

Laurence Fox, less a man of the people, more a man of one millionaire In 2021, it’s a tragedy if women feel they’ll be punished and abandoned for what they’ve earned. Still, for all the accomplished women out there, it bears noting that it must be a rare successful man who’d worry for a solitary second about losing his woman because of it. Still, there are always couples bucking such trends and Winslet and Abel Smith could be among them: Abel Smith, growing up around fame and therefore not cowed by it Winslet, a thespian supernova, but one who wants real love in a real life. Last year, in equality-minded Sweden, there was a study about how women who become CEOs divorce faster than men who become CEOs. This kind of thinking is the knotweed of gender dynamics – it never quite goes away. That all too often such women are paranoid about unmanning their spouses and feel they must lay the praise on super-thick to the point where it borders on relationship damage control. That female power emasculates a man and it’s up to the woman to make that right, to make the neutered male’s contribution bigger by making herself smaller. Or is this beyond Winslet and Abel Smith and more about the great unspoken curse of successful women generally? The idea, even now, that men are conditioned to resent female success. Women do this all the time – does it qualify them as “superhuman”? Is Abel Smith’s ego so fragile that Winslet must lavish praise on him or he might have a panic attack about being an A-list house husband with a sideline in astronaut experiences? Is Abel Smith a stay-at-home dad or is he still head of marketing, promotion and astronaut experience for Uncle Richard’s firm? It seems odd that a man should be eulogised for supporting his wife.

Winslet adds: “He didn’t particularly plan on meeting and marrying a woman who is in the public eye and therefore having been so judged.” And there perhaps you have it: while Winslet stops short of technically de-alpha-ing herself, she could be endeavouring to ensure that her husband doesn’t feel quite so beta. Note to Kate: there are acceptable levels of spousal gushing and then there’s “umbrella for the journalist, please!”.

His long hair makes him resemble “an ocean warrior”. He maintains his zen with veganism, yoga, breath work and cold swims. Although dyslexic, he helps Winslet with her lines. Still, why did she feel the need to uber-gush about her husband, Edward Abel Smith (Richard Branson’s nephew, formerly self-christened Ned Rocknroll) in a recent New York Times interview? According to Winslet, Abel Smith is a “super-hot, superhuman stay-at-home dad” and an “absolutely extraordinary life partner”.
