Nigel Farage aide 'Posh George' arrested on suspicion of domestic violence
Convicted felon George Cottrell and his former Miss Montenegro girlfriend Anjela Vukadinovic deny the allegations following the 3am incident at a luxury Mediterranean resort Nigel Farage's 'right hand man' and party donor George Cottrell has been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. Mr Cottrell and his partner, former Miss Montenegro Anjela Vukadinovic, were arrested on suspicion of assaulting each other in the early hours of Sunday morning at their hotel in a luxury resort in the Mediterranean country. The couple deny the allegations and have issued a statement through their lawyers stating they are 'deeply disappointed by the inaccurate and misleading reports about the alleged incident'. Mr Cottrell, 32, nicknamed 'Posh George', frequently accompanies Mr Farage on engagements and paid for £15,000 flights to Donald Trump's Florida resort. He was convicted in 2017 in the US for wire fraud, after offering to launder money on the dark web, and served eight months in an American prison. The Police Department of the Montenegro Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a statement about the alleged 3am assault, which was reported by Mr Cottrell's 24-year-old girlfriend Miss Vukadinovic, who was only identified by her initials. They both reportedly sustained injuries and Miss Vukadinovic required medical treatment. Police have filed a complaint against her mother, who she called for help after she was allegedly beaten by Mr Cottrell, for criminal damage to the apartment. Police said they suspected, based on witness statements, that Mr Cottrell, identified by the initials GC, 'physically assaulted her [Vukadinovic] by striking her multiple times with a closed fist to the head and body'. They added that Vukadinovic 'is also suspected of having used physical force against her partner by punching him in the head with a closed fist and then delivering several additional blows to his body, after which he locked himself in one of the rooms'. Miss Vukadinovic phoned her mother, identified by the initials SV, who allegedly also 'physically assaulted GC by striking him multiple times with an open palm to the body area'. According to the police statement, Mr Cottrell then 'retreated to another room and locked the door', while Miss Vukadinovic's mother 'proceeded to damage the apartment furnishings and then left the premises'. Mr Cottrell and Miss Vukadinovic were arrested 'on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of domestic violence or violence in a family community', while a criminal complaint was filed against Miss Vukadinovic's 53-year-old mother 'on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of destruction and damage to another's property'. Police, who attended the hotel within two hours of the incident, kept the pair in custody overnight. They were released but 'will be referred to the competent Prosecutor's Office within the legally prescribed time frame for further proceedings', the statement said. The couple later released a statement through their lawyers which said: "We are deeply disappointed by the inaccurate and misleading reports about the alleged incident in Tivat. The facts of this private case have been significantly misreported and we both believe that the case is closed. 'We both have a long-standing commitment to supporting charities for victims of domestic violence and non-governmental organizations for women's rights. Over the years, we have actively contributed to initiatives that empower victims, raise awareness and advocate for women's rights. These goals remain close to our hearts and we will continue to do so.' Mr Cottrell has no official role in Reform UK, apart from as a 'volunteer' but he is described as Mr Farage's 'right hand man'. One Reform UK staffer told The Spectator: 'There is one rule: don't ask what George does'. Mr Cottrell was with Mr Farage when he was milkshaked on the campaign trail in Clacton, flew on a private helicopter flight with him from Ashfield in Nottinghamshire to London and turned up in Merthyr Tydfil for the party's election manifesto launch in Wales. His aristocratic mother Fiona Cottrell, who once dated a young King Charles, is a major Reform UK donor, having given £500,000 to the party before the general election. Mr Cottrell was convicted in the US in 2017, serving eight months in an American jail, after being accused of offering money-laundering services on the dark web. He was convicted on one count of wire fraud after 20 other charges were dropped as part of a plea deal. In December, Mr Cottrell donated £15,277 to fly Mr Farage to Florida for his ill-fated meeting to meet tech tycoon Elon Musk at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. Reform UK were reportedly hoping the US tycoon would donate up to $100m (£80m) to the party. But, instead, Mr Farage faced humiliation when Musk called for him to be replaced as leader.

Archbishop of York: Saying Lord's Prayer with Pope Francis changed me
The Church of England's most senior bishop has recalled how meeting the Pope and saying the Lord's Prayer together 'changed me'. Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell said he had been privileged to meet Pope Francis on a few occasions, and remembered one encounter a few years ago when they prayed together. Mr Cottrell said despite having said the Lord's Prayer – also known as the Our Father – countless times before, it was when he said it with Francis that the significance of the word 'our' came through. He told Sky News: 'I've said the Lord's Prayer thousands of times – I say it every day – but sitting there saying the Lord's Prayer with Pope Francis, the opening word of the Lord's Prayer suddenly struck me – our. 'Our Father, our God, and what that means, therefore, is that everybody else who says this prayer is my sister and my brother, whether I like it or not, these are the people that God has made into his church. 'And just saying the Lord's Prayer with Pope Francis changed me – changed and renewed and refreshed my understanding of what it is to be the church, that we belong to each other across these denominational barriers, and then I think, 'what a message for the world'. 'We live in a world that's so divided, you know, where the church itself has made many mistakes and failings. We need to be a humble church. 'We need to be a penitent church but we also need to be a church where we recognise our common humanity and our belonging one to another. That's what Pope Francis reawakened in me, and I believe that will be his great legacy, both to the church but also to the world.' Mr Cottrell has faced his own difficulties in recent times, including calls to resign over alleged safeguarding failures in the Church of England. In February at the church's General Synod – also know as the Church of England's parliament – Mr Cottrell admitted he had 'made mistakes' but vowed he is 'determined' to do what he can to work with others 'to lead the change we all know we need'. Continuing his praise of Pope Francis on Sky News, the archbishop said the pontiff had died while still serving the faithful of the Catholic church. Noting Francis's appearance on Easter Sunday to bless the thousands of people gathered in St Peter's Square in Vatican City, Mr Cottrell said: 'It's amazing, isn't it, that, you know he, as it were, died with his boots on. 'Still serving, still praying, still blessing, still doing the things that Christian ministers do. And again, that characterizes his ministry.'
