Rangers legends have backed a campaign launched after Lauren Reid died aged just 19 following a severe asthma attack while at work in Glasgow in February 2020.

Rangers legends have backed a mum who launched an asthma campaign after the tragic death of her teenage daughter.

Elaine Cunningham’s daughter Lauren Reid died aged just 19 after suffering a severe asthma attack while at work in Glasgow in February 2020. Since losing her “Rangers-mad” daughter, Elaine has tirelessly campaigned for Lauren’s Law Asthma Campaign – calling for emergency salbutamol inhalers to be kept in workplace first aid kits to prevent other families suffering the same devastation.

Now the determined mum, from Dennistoun, has received support from Rangers heroes Scott Arfield and Gordon Smith. The 50-year-old revealed how the touching encounter came about after she visited Scott Arfield’s new 442 bar to watch Rangers take on Hearts on Monday night.

She said: “Scott Arfield was Lauren’s favourite player and she served him at work numerous times. When he was opening the bar, I was desperate to go.

“I previously met Scott at Ibrox and I told him Lauren’s story. On Monday when I walked into the bar, Scott recognised me straight away from that moment all those years ago.

“He was beaming and was asking how Lauren’s campaign was going and how I was doing. Scott’s reaction meant so much to me, his smile was genuine and he was so lovely.

“When he told me that he would back the campaign, I was overwhelmed with emotion.”

Elaine also met club legend Gordon Smith during the emotional night, while ex-Ibrox striker Kemar Roofe was also in attendance.

She said: “I’m very bold and you don’t get anywhere without asking. Gordon Smith was there and I told him all about Lauren’s law.

“In his very calm voice, he said, ‘Of course, you can certainly use my name and say that I support your daughter’s campaign. That’s such a shame’.

“It’s very important to get stars to back the campaign to raise awareness. I have no words how honoured I feel to get people like them to do this.”

Arfield and Smith now join a growing list of Gers figures who have endorsed Lauren’s Law, including Alex Rae, Phillipe Clement, Cyriel Dessers and Connor Barron. Elaine explained who her favourite supporter was: “The best of all was captain James Tavernier. We waited on him after one of the games last year.

“If you notice he always keeps his hands behind his back when taking photos with fans. When he came to me, I explained Lauren’s story and our aims so he knew he wasn’t being misled and he said ‘I support Lauren’s Law’.

“I burst into tears and he came back and gave me a cuddle. All of the crowd started clapping.

“Lauren and I have so many lovely memories together with the club. They say that being a Rangers supporter is like being in a big family and I must admit that it is true.”

Lauren died after collapsing while on shift at Gin71 in Glasgow’s Merchant City. The passionate young chef had completed an apprenticeship and dreamed of building a career in the culinary world. She was also devoted to Rangers, who held a minute’s applause for her following her death.

Elaine added: “Through the campaign, I get messages all the time from people who say they carry an extra inhaler just in case.

“If one life is saved from sharing Lauren’s story, then it is job done. All these celebrity followers are great, but it’s all about making a difference.”

On 9 May 2022, Vladimir Putin stood grandly at a podium in Moscow’s Red Square, surveying a legion of armoured military vehicles for the country’s annual Victory Day parade, held in honour of the moment Russia joined forces with the West to defeat Nazi Germany.

Weeks earlier, he’d invaded his neighbour Ukraine, sparking a conflict that has ground on for more than four years. During a defiant speech on that day, the Russian president launched an attack on Nato, Ukraine and a host of western countries.

Surrounded by military hardware, he insisted that Russia was “fighting for the motherland, for her future, and so that nobody forgets the lessons of World War II”.

But this year things are different. For the first time in nearly two decades, those celebrations will be scaled back dramatically without any showy and heavy military hardware, amid new fears of long-range Ukrainian drone strikes that have been hitting deep inside Russia.

Volodymyr Zelensky has been unequivocal about the fact that Ukraine’s “victory plan” entails hitting targets deep within Russia and his country’s technological and military capabilities are advancing rapidly.

His strategy will be helped by a new €90bn loan from the EU, recently released after Hungary’s prime minister Viktor Orban was ousted from office, unblocking the funds.

For Russia, a country that prides itself on its demonstrations of military might, the lack of fanfare at the parade will be out of character.

This year, Putin remains more paranoid and isolated than ever before. Security has been tightened across the capital of Moscow, with unprecedented military presence including checkpoints, snipers and machine-gun crews.

It comes amid a leaked European intelligence report claiming that Putin’s increasing paranoia over his personal safety has led him to spend weeks in underground bunkers, screening staff and banning cell phones for personal cooks and bodyguards.

On top of that, internet shutdowns have been reported across the country, and social media channels replaced by the state’s own intelligence-monitored versions.

“Within the wider context it shouldn’t come as a surprise,” says Jaroslava Barbieri, a research fellow at the Ukraine Forum at Chatham House.

“That’s how dictators usually end up feeling when they feel like power is slipping away. There is an interesting dynamic there with the slipping image of Russia as a military superpower and the slipping image of Putin as a strong man.”

She says this is also reflected in Putin’s drop in opinion polls, even those which have been traditionally pro-Kremlin as the economic effects of sanctions and general fatigue with the war takes hold.

“These are signs that he’s kind of losing his grasp,” she explains.

Last week it was reported that his approval rating among the general public had dropped for the seventh consecutive week, according to Russian state-owned polling institution All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM).

While Putin’s paranoia is not new – he is widely known to be a germaphobe who hunkered down hard following the Covid pandemic, taking some extreme measures to avoid catching the illness – there have been a number of events in recent months that are believed to have contributed to his sense of vulnerability.

In December 2025, his top general Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov was killed after a bomb planted under his car detonated as he drove out of a Moscow car park at around 7am in the morning.

The 56-year-old was rushed to hospital with multiple shrapnel wounds, severe leg injuries, a facial fracture and concussion, but did not survive. Seven other vehicles were reported to be damaged in the blast.

In February this year, Lieutenant General Vladimir Alexeyev was shot and injured in an alleged assassination attempt. Several other senior officials have been killed since Russia launched its invasion in 2022.

Last year, unverified claims surfaced that Ukraine had attempted to target the Russian president at his personal residence in the Novgorod region. US intelligence found the claims not to be true and Kyiv denied the allegations.

But Putin does not want to be seen as weak – and the need to appear powerful is compounded by the 9 May celebrations, which Barbieri says is crucial to Russia’s understanding of itself as a country.

“It has been a hallmark of Russia’s identity building and nation-building processes under Putin and underlying this image is always this sense that they liberated Europe from fascism, that they’re unbeatable and always on the right side of history.

“He had a kind of distorted understanding of the reality on the ground, but inevitably he feels pressure to try and sell domestically an image of victory.”

But cracks are widening in the perception of Putin’s administration as a unified bloc as elite bureaucrats and middle-class businesspeople grow uneasy with restrictions and the economic effects of the war, which continues to take up 70 per cent of Putin’s time and has become his “obsession”.

Barbieri explains that within the Russian elite there are figures such as Sergey Kiriyenko who are more akin to bureaucrats, who are increasingly concerned “that the current total investment in the war effort is creating a number of economic problems for the country”.

Then there is the security and military bloc, which is more passionate about the country’s war aims but has also become increasingly critical, including the Siloviki (”men of force” that include Russian officials from security, military, and law enforcement agencies such as the FSB, defence ministry and National Guard) as well as Z-bloggers.

Putin thought the war would be over in weeks, and the fact that it has continued for nearly half a decade is a shock to him and the establishment, says Barbieri.

“As it has lasted longer, it has started to become more difficult to isolate the country from information about casualties and the impact of sanctions. They’re trying to control the narrative but it’s becoming harder to isolate the population from a conversation abut the actual failures.”

Internet outages have affected businesses with customers unable to contact their clients, causing more frustration.

Russians are also feeling shaken by military strikes that have hit them hundreds of miles beyond their border. On Friday, Zelensky said a Ukrainian drone strike hit one of Russia’s largest oil refineries in Yaroslavl, a city situated more than 700km from its border.

Despite these attacks, Russia is determined to continue with the Victory Day commemorations.

“It’s quite unusual for a country to be having these parades,” says Christina Hayward at the Institute for the Study of War. “Ukraine does not have these kind of events, and they haven’t for years because of the risk of Russian strikes attacking concentrations of people.

“It’s interesting to see that Russia is now feeling that same wartime fear. It’s showing the effect that the increased Ukrainian strikes are having on Russian planning and that they aren’t confident in their ability to have enough air defences to protect these events should they choose to have them.”

But despite Putin’s fear of being attacked, experts say that Russia’s history shows a far more sobering and terrifying reality.

“Regime consolidation has put in place an authoritarian system that operates like a police state,” she says. “Russia’s history shows that if it were changed it would most like be through a violent and sudden way rather than a gradual decline.

“The cracks within the regime are widening but the big question now is what is going to happen. Once these cracks become too wide to be covered, historically change in Russia has always happened suddenly and violently. Among the expert community, the expectation is that if such a change were to happen, most likely it’s going to come from inside.”

“Starting with Mexico City and continuing the next day with Toronto and Los Angeles, these ceremonies will bring together music, culture and football in a way that reflects both the individuality of each nation and the unity that defines this tournament. It is a powerful way to begin a truly global celebration.”

After Metroid Prime 4 went unmentioned in Nintendo’s latest financial results, a reader tries to pinpoint exactly what wrong with the controversial Switch 2 sequel.

Late to the dodgy party, but I finally finished my playthrough of Metroid Prime 4 on Switch 2, and whilst I enjoyed it to some extent, and there were some excellent moments in the campaign, I would be remiss to not acknowledge its very severe flaws that undercut the sense of progression, cohesion, and general identity of a Metroid game.

Let’s get the positives out the way first, the presentation is gorgeous, with some stunning vistas and art design in planet Viewros. The soundtrack and general alien soundscape is quite exquisite. Every moment involving the morph ball is just really fun, tactile, and representative of some of the stronger facets of the game’s level design.

I particularly enjoyed the echoes of Super Mario Galaxy with the gravity tether pull ability in this mode of movement and the half pipe-boosting activities. In fact, I want Nintendo to commission a morph ball only spin off, where you’re just negotiating increasingly trickier obstacle courses, à la a modern Marble Madness.

The Viola bike is a neat addition, which looks ace and controls really slickly. The bosses are generally of a high quality and among the best in the Prime series, especially the epic lava facility boss. And the new psychic abilities, like the Metal Gear Solid Nikita missile style psychic shot, are just really darn cool, if underutilised.

The ‘dungeon’ areas are also pretty well designed, if a little too linear, and demonstrate flashes of prime Metroid Prime in aspects of their design. Although the mining area was a missed opportunity, which was marred with repetition, facing wave after wave of the same mindless feral foes in an aesthetically and structurally uninteresting location.

Now to address the awfully salient and stinky elephant in the room: the open-ish world in Metroid Prime 4 felt beyond bland and ultimately pointless. I tried, I really tried to find some redeeming qualities about this massively incongruent addition to the formula, but alas I just could not. And this overriding feeling was exacerbated by some of the most egregious examples of padded backtracking I’d ever had the displeasure of experiencing in a modern game.

Having to go through a desert of Starfield levels of uneventfulness, more than once, to return to base, to have Myles MacKenzie upgrade Samus’s abilities, was contrived and just insulting to the first lady of gaming’s self-efficacy. How the heck does the bespectacled brainbox interface so intuitively with the alien tech anyway? Never mind, must, suspend, disbelief…

The absolute nadir point in the game is when you’re tasked with harvesting the green crystals growing throughout the desert. This was one of the most tedious and interminable moments in the franchise’s history, which absolutely pulverises the game’s pacing. What on Earth were Retro Studios even thinking with this awful piece of design?!

It beggars belief Retro Studios/Nintendo thought this half-baked fusion of classic Metroid Prime and semi-open world design was a good idea. The game’s problematic development gestation is pretty well known by now, but evidently the schizophrenic identity crisis in the game’s design decisions led to the corruption of a more cogent vision.

As for the other conspicuously contentious point, I actually didn’t mind the companions that much, other than Myle’s frequently intrusive reminders; painfully stating the obvious and treating me like a colossal nincompoop. I mostly found the marines to be inoffensive and, thankfully, largely peripheral for the most part. But their inclusion in the first phase of the final boss fight was, much like the semi-open world design and crystal-gathering palaver/aggravation, retrograde to say the least.

I dread to think what Nintendo will do with the 3D series if the sales were really as inauspicious as the early sales estimates suggest. Let’s just hope that they foster a sharper acuity of vision and thought going forward, that’s if they give the 3D series another chance. After all, there’s still nothing in the industry that looks and plays quite like Metroid Prime, and something, anything to occupy Samus and her interstellar talents is still better than zero missions.

Glitz, glamour and engaging ensemble – but falls short of its predeccesor.

Back in 2006 I remember getting dragged kicking and screaming by my future wife to see The Devil Wears Prada – and I actually enjoyed it.

It’s remarkable to think 20 years have passed since then – and even more remarkable that the main players here haven’t really changed one bit.

That goes for their characters too as, other than a few minor mentions of Andy’s (Anne Hathaway) personal life and journalism career and Emily (Emily Blunt) heading off to pastures new, this sequel feels like it could’ve been set two months later rather than two decades.

As well as the lead quartet – also including Meryl Streep’s Miranda and Stanley Tucci’s Nigel – director David Frankel and co-writers Aline Brosh McKenna and Lauren Weisberger are back on board.

And if you enjoyed the first flick you’ll lap this one up too; the outfits remain resplendent and the locations lush, while Streep is still an acidic delight, seemingly devoid of kindness or selflessness, until the odd tiny amount creeps through Miranda’s icy exterior.

Tucci’s loyal, soft-spoken Nigel is the movie’s heart and Andy maintains her desire to win Miranda’s approval, while securing her own future.

Blunt laps up the chance to be more villainous and Justin Theroux’s Benji is a sleazy, easily-manipulated presence.

Much of the plot focuses on the challenges impacting the journalism industry, which hit close to home for this writer but may leave others shrugging their shoulders as they await the next gorgeous gown to appear.

Patrick Brammall’s Peter, though charming, feels shoehorned in as Andy’s romantic interest and is one of the elements that could have been cut to trim down the testing two-hour running time.

But I liked how Miranda was forced to reluctantly tone down her attitude due to more modern attitudes – not many actors could make hanging a coat up a comedic highlight – and there are a few third-act surprises as several characters jostle for power.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 falls short of its predecessor but remains queen of the catwalk when it comes to glitz, glamour, an engaging ensemble and a personal peek behind the curtain of the fashion industry.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has spoken with Phil Foden on how to get the best out of him again

Pep Guardiola has told Phil Foden to focus on what he does best on a football pitch as Manchester City look to bring the England star back into form. The 25-year-old was the best player in the league two years ago but struggled badly last season and after shining in the first half of this season his form has disappeared again.

City have shown their faith in Foden this week, agreeing to a new long-term deal for the academy graduate that will commit him to the club into the next decade. But he hasn’t started a Premier League game in more than two months and his chances of making Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the World Cup are getting weaker with every week he cannot force his way into Guardiola’s team.

The City boss has long maintained that he has no doubts that Foden will find his best form again, and has continued to use the player from the bench. However, he has also held talks with the midfielder to try and guide him towards that as the Blues hope for more returns on someone who has already given them so much.

“I said many times, I have no doubt about Phil. About his impact. He’s a home ground player for our academy. I’ve been massively important in our seasons together,” said Guardiola.

“And I wish from the bottom of my heart he can come back to his best and play the next years with all of us. The minutes he played at Everton, his movements and his aggressiveness, we’ve talked about it and said ‘So, Phil, who you are as a player? What is your biggest quality?’

“It’s ball, turn and go. Go, turn and go. And attack the box. And don’t lose that. It doesn’t matter if you are in better form or bad form. So, you are not a team player like to control the game. Your quality is be a machine attacking the ball with the sense of assists and goals. And make the keeper threat that you’re going to shoot.

“And it happened two or three times against Everton. At that moment, go on the pitch with one, two down or three. One, three is not easy. You know that? And he did really well.”

He continued: “My message to Downing Street tonight is very, very clear – they have got a lot of listening to do to the fact that Labour have been hammered here in Scotland and an SNP Government, after 19 years in office, has just been emphatically returned to office, and Scotland needs respect as a consequence of that election outcome.”

HM Revenue and Customs has issued a scam alert after an “increased” number of people have been targeted by fraudsters claiming they are owed a tax refund

Britons are being urged to stay vigilant following “increased reports” of individuals being targeted by fraudsters. HM Revenue and Customs has issued a warning that scammers may get in touch claiming you’re owed a tax refund in a bid to steal your personal information.

If you’re “unsure” about any communication you receive, you should avoid clicking on links or sharing any details. You can also flag suspected scams to the authorities.

In a post shared on social media platform X, HMRC said: “SCAM ALERT! We’re receiving increased reports of customers being contacted by scammers claiming they are due a tax refund.

“Always take the time to stop and think if the request is genuine before sharing personal information or clicking on any links. If you’re unsure, don’t click on any links and report it to us.

“To find out if you are due a tax refund, you can log into your HMRC online services account on GOV.UK or the HMRC app.” On the Government website, HMRC has provided additional guidance on staying safe.

Use the following checklist from HMRC to work out whether the contact you’ve received is a scam. You can apply it to phone calls, emails and text messages.

According to HMRC, it could be a scam if it:

• Rushes you
• Is threatening

• Tells you to transfer money
• Offers a refund, tax rebate or grant

Below are other signs to look out for.

Suspicious phone calls

HMRC will never:

• Leave a voicemail threatening legal action

As Memories told last week, the country was shut down, with violence breaking out in many places as police battled with pickets to get food supplies – and copies of The Northern Echo – out to the people.

READ FIRST: HOW THE ECHO DEFIED THE PICKETS TO PRINT TWO MILLION PAPERS DURING THE GENERAL STRIKE

Leading the strike in the North East was Will Lawther, a miner from Chopwell, in Gateshead, which was known as “Little Moscow” due its left-wing politics which Will, a member of Durham County Council from 1925, fully embraced. He was also the Labour candidate for the Parliamentary seat of Barnard Castle.

As our reproduction front page shows, he was arrested on May 10, 1926, and charged with “interfering with food distribution and police intimidation” – it seems he was trying to stop food convoys reaching Consett from Newcastle by blocking the roads. The authorities presented this as an attempt to steal the food and sell it on the black market; Will probably saw it as lawful picketing and making sure the strike committee was in charge of the neighbourhood.

That front page from May 11, 1926, really is a page in history: as well as Lawther’s arrest, it features the first report of the most notorious incident during the General Strike in the North East when pickets targetting a coal train they believed was being operated by blacklegs instead managed to derail the Flying Scotsman at Cramlington.

As the strike came to a messy end, Lawther was tried at Gateshead on May 13 under the Government’s “Emergency Regulations” designed to crack down on strikers’ activities.

“Lawther denied that he was a Communist and that the people of Chopwell were terrified out of their wits by mob law,” said the Echo. “There was a demonstration outside the court. The police charged the crowd and two men were arrested.”

Realising that Lawther was a political hot potato, and heeding Conservative Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin’s plea that “bygones should be bygones” now the strike was crumbling, the magistrates fined Lawther only £50 – the most lenient sentence possible. However, he refused to pay and was jailed for two months in Durham.

In 1929, the people of Barnard Castle – who have a surprising history of electing early Labour MPs – returned him to Parliament, although they booted him out two years later.

He became the first president of the National Union of Mineworkers and had Communist sympathies until the Second World War, after which he used his position on the Trades Union Congress to defeat the hard left.

He was knighted in 1949 – reputedly the first miner ever to be so honoured – and lived in Whitley Bay until his death in 1976.

A podcast series looking at Lawther’s role during the strike and at his remarkable career has just been created by the Find My Past genealogy website and features Jonathan Kindleysides, the Head of Industry at Beamish Museum. Google “A Family History of the General Strike” to find it.

Two lots of father and sons, as well as one mother and daughter were elected in the South Cambridgeshire elections

It was a family affair for some of the winning candidates in the South Cambridgeshire District Council elections. The Liberal Democrats won a clear majority in South Cambridgeshire today (Friday, May 8), winning 43 out of 45 seats.

The party initially held 34 seats, however they have gained back seats from the Conservatives, leaving the Conservatives with only two seats in the council. Amongst the Liberal Democrats that won were three sets of family members.

Father and son John and Henry Batchelor retained their seats for the Linton ward. There was also Natalie Warren-Gunn, who retained her seat for Longstanton, and her daughter Yasmin Deter winning the seat for Cottenham.

Henry Batchelor said he was “very honoured” to be re-elected for Linton, and also alongside his father. He added: “We are very happy to be given the public’s trust again and for me, I was born in Linton, and my roots are in Linton.”

John joked that his son gained around 40 more votes than him. However, he said he was “very proud”.

Natalie Warren-Gunn said she was “really pleased” to be re-elected for Longstanton. She added: “I can continue with the work I started.”

Natalie said that there is a “lot of change and transition” in the areas she oversees. She said she can “carry on with the momentum” in those areas.

Yasmin said it was “really exciting” to be elected in the same council as her mum. She added: “In particular, because of devolution that is ahead, [it will be good] being able to see each side with the district and county.”

Father and son Martin and Ariel Cahn were also elected under the Liberal Democrats. Martin won his seat for Histon and Impington, while Ariel won in Harston and Comberton.
