More Yanis time for Danae

SOMETHING Changed on Monday Morning, thanks to Yanis Varoufakis, the unruly finance minister with the “early-Nineties Madchester drug dealer’s coat”, as the Guardian once described him.

He announced his resignation in a typically brutal blog post. Will he now be spending more time with his wife, Pulp muse Danae Stratou, pictured? Back in May, Varoufakis confirmed to The Londoner that rumours that artist Danae was the love interest from Common People — “She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge, she studied sculpture at St Martin’s College ...” — weren’t wide of the mark. “I think there is some truth in this. She was the only Greek sculpture student at St Martin’s back then.”

With that free time ahead of them, may we soon see the couple having a catchup drink with Jarvis Cocker in Bar Italia?
