LONDON & PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 22, 2026--
Known for his composure under pressure and a habit of doing the unexpected, Cole Palmer today announced a multiyear strategic partnership with Gopuff, the leader in instant commerce, to develop new products, custom content and unique customer experiences. The partnership kicks off with “ COLE’D,” a new line of premium ice products designed to elevate everyday moments, launching exclusively on Gopuff.

While football remains at the center of Palmer’s world, COLE’D has been quietly taking shape during the small pockets of time away from the pitch. This summer has provided a rare opportunity for Palmer to reset, recharge and dedicate time to a project that has been developing behind the scenes, reflecting his growing interest in creativity, business and connecting with fans beyond matchday.
Known for his authenticity, cool attitude and calm confidence, Palmer has become one of football’s most recognizable young personalities. While partnerships with some of the world’s biggest brands have cemented his cultural appeal off the pitch, COLE’D represents something different: a product born from a genuine connection between player and supporters.
What started as a fan-created nickname celebrating Palmer’s composure on the pitch became the iconic “Cold Palmer” identity embraced by supporters around the world. The celebration became a movement. Now, that movement has inspired COLE’D, transforming a moment created by fans into something they can enjoy themselves.
COLE’D marks the first time Palmer has taken a hands-on role in developing a product from the ground up, helping shape everything from the concept and creative direction to packaging and content.
“Gopuff was already part of the routine, so when they came to me with the idea, it just made sense. What started as a bit of fun turned into something proper. I’ve been involved in everything – the product, the packaging, the content – and that’s what interested me. The fans started the whole ‘Cold Palmer’ thing in the first place, so it’s nice to turn that into something everyone can be part of,” said Palmer.
The partnership combines Palmer’s signature “cold” celebration and his reputation for maintaining his cool under pressure with a product category used every day by millions of people. While ice is a household essential used by millions of customers every day, the category has seen limited innovation—creating an opportunity for Palmer and Gopuff to reinvent an everyday product through first-of-their-kind experiences and category-defining innovation.
Available exclusively on Gopuff in both the U.S. and U.K., every item in the COLE’D collection is made with filtered, purified water:
“Gopuff has become the platform where the world’s best athletes and creators come to do things differently, turning bold ideas into products our customers love,” said Yakir Gola, co-CEO and co-founder of Gopuff. “With Cole’d, we’re reimagining one of the most essential everyday items through innovation, introducing the world’s first electrolyte ice. By partnering with one of the best footballers in the world, Cole Palmer, we’re continuing to bring first-of-their-kind products directly to our customers.”
For Palmer, the venture reflects a broader belief that interests away from football can complement elite performance rather than distract from it.
The COLE’D Premium Ice line follows the successful launch of GoodNut and GOAT Gummies with Tom Brady, further establishing Gopuff as a leader in partnering with the world’s best athletes and creators to develop talent-led brands and first-of-their-kind products customers love.
As the football world comes together around the biggest tournament in the game this summer, Palmer’s priorities remain unchanged: continue improving, continue competing and continue finding ways to surprise people.
In many ways, COLE’D reflects the qualities that have defined his rise so far: confidence, authenticity and a willingness to do the unexpected.
COLE’D Premium Ice will be available exclusively on the Gopuff app in the U.S. and U.K. starting today.

LONDON (AP) — Former Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has confirmed he will run to succeed Keir Starmer as Labour leader and British prime minister.
He posted on social media that he will “put myself forward as part of this process.”
Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting, considered another leading contender, said he will back Burnham.
That makes it more likely that Burnham will be selected without a leadership contest.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday he is stepping down as leader of the governing Labour Party and will leave office within weeks, forced out by his own party scarcely two years after being elected in a landslide.
Starmer says he will remain caretaker prime minister until the party chooses a new Labour leader — with expectations that it will be former Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Burnham, who won a special parliamentary election last week, ran with the aim of challenging Starmer for leadership of the party and the country.
Starmer is the sixth prime minister in a decade to stand outside 10 Downing Street and announce a premature departure. His statement comes the day before Britain marks the 10th anniversary of its vote to leave the European Union, a decision that still roils the country’s economy and politics.
After weeks of insisting he would fight to keep his job, Starmer conceded to growing pressure to hand over to a new leader who can try and revive the government’s flagging fortunes. He led Labour to a landslide election victory in July 2024, but since then his popularity and that of the party have plummeted.
Starmer made the announcement outside his official 10 Downing St. residence, the spot where he delivered his first speech as prime minister two years ago.
His voice choked with emotion near the end of the brief statement, which was watched by a group of staff, Cabinet ministers and scores of journalists.
“The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election,” Starmer said. “I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.”
He said he spoke to King Charles III, Britain's constitutional monarch, to inform him of the decision.
Starmer spent the weekend pondering his future following Burnham's special election victory.
It’s unclear whether Burnham, who is due to be sworn in as a member of Parliament on Monday, will now face a coronation or a challenge. Starmer said nominations for a leadership contest will open on July 9, and the new leader will be in place by the time Parliament returns from its summer break on Sept. 1.
Wes Streeting, who resigned as health secretary last month to protest Starmer’s leadership, has said that he will run in a contest if there is one. But he may change his mind if enthusiasm for Burnham is overwhelming.
Starmer has struggled to deliver promised economic growth, repair tattered public services and ease the cost of living, and has been hamstrung by repeated missteps, including his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson, a scandal-tarnished friend of Jeffrey Epstein, as the U.K. ambassador to the United States.
Labour is losing liberal voters to the growing Green Party and facing a rising Reform UK, the Nigel Farage -led anti-immigration party that consistently leads in nationwide opinion polls.
U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in even before an announcement, linking Starmer’s potential exit to two of his recurring bugbears: immigration and renewable energy.
“Keir Starmer will resign as Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. He failed badly on two very important subjects- IMMIGRATION AND ENERGY (OPEN NORTH SEA OIL!). I wish him well! President DJT,” Trump posted on his social media platform.
Starmer’s initially warm relationship with the president has soured in recent months over issues including the Iran war, which the U.K. didn’t join.
In contrast to missteps on the domestic front, Starmer has won praise for his international role, notably in rallying European support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion, and working to mitigate the economic and political turmoil unleashed by the Iran conflict.
A NATO summit in Turkey next month may be his last foray on the world stage as Britain's leader.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen praised Starmer’s legacy.
“It can take many leaders years to grow into the statesman you became in just two years,” she said on X. “European and Ukrainian security is stronger because of you. Thank you, dear Keir.”
While many Labour lawmakers have rallied behind Burnham, some have said that Starmer had been treated unfairly. London legislator Neil Coyle railed on X against “the prospect of an utter stitch-up & the media circus being rewarded.
“When the next leader cannot change Trump, Iran, Ukraine, Putin, Musk, broadcast editorial & algorithm bias overnight they’ll bay for his blood too. Better keep that guillotine sharp,” he wrote.
