READ MORE:  Dua Lipa: “If somebody told me not to discuss issues I’m passionate about? I wouldn’t listen” Directed by Matthew Vaughn ( Kingsman franchise), the star-studded film follows Bryce Dallas Howard’s ( Jurassic World franchise) spy fiction novelist Elly Conway, who spends most of her nights at home with her cat, Alfie.

READ MORE: Elton John live at Glastonbury: one of the festival’s best-ever headline sets The home secretary faced backlash this week after she said that “simply being gay, or a woman” is not enough of a reason to gain refugee status in the UK. Addressing a US think tank on Tuesday (September 26), she said (via Sky News ): “There are vast swathes of the world where it is extremely difficult to be gay, or to be a woman. Where individuals are being persecuted, it is right that we offer sanctuary. “But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if in effect simply being gay, or a woman, and fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection.” Music icon John has now responded to the home secretary and accused her of “legitimising hate and violence”.
