This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.
Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first 

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

Yes, it’s about war and diplomacy. But, on a purely human level, seeing someone bullied the way Zelenskyy was in the Oval Office was very distressing. It resonates with anyone who’s ever been ignored, dismissed or gaslit. This was needed.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Trump and Vance bullied and humiliated Zelensky – who is fighting for the survival of his nation – broadcast live worldwide. Starmer has invited Trump for a state visit. We should think twice before rolling out the red carpet.
