Unless you were living off grid last week, you may have seen the razzmatazz surrounding Edward Enninful as he bid farewell to his editor-in-chief position at British Vogue. His swansong March issue features a cover starring 40 of the world’s most influential and stylish women, including supermodels Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford.

It has been called “The ultimate fashion issue”. But some readers may be surprised to find Keir Starmer smizing back at them.

Running alongside the interview are images taken at London’s Parliament Hill, including one with his wife Victoria, a health worker.
