£40bn ... 十年内“净零排放”的成本

一份报告显示，绿色能源计划的成本在十年后每年将超过 £40 billion。

一项研究称，生态政策的总支出自 2010 年以来增长了六倍——且这些增长正在推高账单。报告补充称，电力补贴已从 2010/11 年的 £0.5 billion 增加到 2024/25 年的 £11.8 billion，并预计到 2030/31 年将达到 £14.9 billion。

在同一时期，电网集成成本从 £2.8 billion 增加到 £8 billion，预计到 2030/31 年将大幅上升至 £25.3 billion。

总理将与 Kemi 和 Davey 就社会护理改革举行会谈 ...但冷落 Farage

By Jason Groves 政治编辑

在被指称其拟议的“死亡税”可能使他自己的选民每人承担高达 £50,000 的费用后，ANDY Burnham 将于今日启动关于社会护理改革的跨党派会谈。

尽管保守党党魁 Kemi Badenoch 警告称， £18 billion 的成本应通过削减开支而非新税收来筹集，但总理仍邀请她讨论该问题。

自由民主党党魁 Sir Ed Davey 也受邀参加会谈，但 Nigel Farage 则被冷落。

将社会护理改革确定为他的首要任务之一。

在今天于伦敦一家护理院发表的演讲中，他将承诺“倾尽所有”来寻找危机的解决方案，并表示该问题不能再被简单地斥为“太冒险、太困难且太复杂”。

Louise Casey 去年启动了一项社会护理审查。

“你必须排除加税的可能性”

但批评人士表示，基尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer）设定的时间表似乎旨在再次将该问题搁置。伯纳姆（Burnham）先生预计将要求凯西男爵夫人（Baroness Casey）加快她的工作。这位跨党派议员将于今日宣布一项“关于护理的大讨论”，以征询公众和专家的意见。批评者已经将其称为“死亡税”。

巴德诺克（Badenoch）女士和埃德（Ed）爵士均表示愿意参与跨党派讨论。但任何改革的资金来源可能仍将是一个主要障碍。

在给首相的一封信中，巴德诺克女士表示：“必须通过减少当前支出寻找资金。你必须排除任何最终将由下一代承担的加税或增加借款的可能性。”

伯纳姆先生建议，他希望将社会护理纳入国民医疗服务体系（NHS），作为国家护理服务的一部分，且在服务点免费使用。此外，他一直呼吁引入一项新的社会护理征收金。

在梅克菲尔德（Makerfield）补选期间，他表示：“我知道人们对遗产税有很大的不满，所以实际上，你知道，或许可以将其取消，转而考虑护理征收金。”

英国改革党（Reform UK）表示，伯纳姆先生的计划可能会使他梅克菲尔德选区的房主每人损失 £50,000。

大曼彻斯特选区的平均房价略低于 £200,000。但官方估计显示，房产占家庭财富的 40%，这意味着一名没有抵押贷款的房主价值约为 £500,000。

改革党的财政部发言人罗伯特·詹里克（Robert Jenrick）表示：“伯纳姆正在考虑征收一项普遍的死亡税，这一举措将使他的平均选民在亲人离世、陷入悲痛之时，损失高达 £50,000。他完全没有权力掠夺人们珍贵的积蓄。”

凯西男爵夫人表示：“选择在于，我们是继续将资金投入一个不公平、不可预测且崩溃的系统中，还是诚实地讨论如何构建更好的体制。”

昨晚有消息透露，官员们正在考虑一项针对收入的新税，以资助该改革，届时劳动者将被要求强制向一个私人管理的基金缴费，用于支付他们晚年的护理费用。

着装手术：尼古拉斯与汉娜·瓦丁汉姆在洛杉矶现身，显得风度翩翩

那真的是同一个人吗？汉娜的 NHS 外科医生男友看起来更像 007！

演艺报道记者

作为一名工作繁忙的骨科医生，他可能很少有时间去考虑自己的外貌。

穿着一件现成的衬衫和领带——还配有员工挂绳，头发抹了发胶——汉娜·瓦丁汉姆（Hannah Waddingham）的男友尼古拉斯·贝雷斯福德-克莱里（Nicolas Beresford-Cleary）在任何办公室里可能都不会引起注意。

但他与这位迷人的《Ted Lasso》明星之间新鲜的恋情，显然给了他一种全新的好莱坞式光彩。

周一，贝雷斯福德-克莱里先生，46, 散发出一种詹姆斯·邦德的气息，在与这位英国女演员共同出席这部喜剧剧集第四季的洛杉矶首映礼时，确实非常有那个范儿。

他戴着一副 £166 的深绿色和棕色 Armani 飞行员太阳镜，穿着一件白色衬衫和米色亚麻西装——并配以 £149 的 Loake 棕色乐福鞋来点睛——他的新造型与手术室截然不同。

但与 007, 不同，这位文雅的外科医生仍然懂得寻找实惠——他的

“在内心感到幸福且强大”

那件 £90 的夹克直接来自高街零售商 H&M 的货架。

至于瓦丁汉姆女士，她在昨天年满 52 岁，身着一件来自 Monique Lhuillier 的 £6,180 金色雕塑感礼服走在红毯上。

贝雷斯福德-克莱里先生在牛津大学医院 NHS 基金会信托、伦敦私立诊所 Grosvenor Orthopaedic Partners 以及首都的爱德华七世医院工作——并以其“在脊柱手术机器人和导航方面的丰富经验”而闻名。

两人最早于 3 月在切尔滕纳姆节日（Cheltenham Festival）被拍到在一起，但直到上个月才在伦敦的 Variety Power of Women 活动中共同亮相红毯。

这发生在瓦丁汉姆女士与交往十余年的意大利商人伙伴詹卢卡·库涅托（Gianluca Cugnetto）分手八年后，后者是她唯一的女儿 Kitty，12 的父亲。

这位前《权力的游戏》明星告诉《Women’s Health》：“我当时在心理或情感上确实没有空间去面对这件事。我一直潜心关注我的女儿和我自己。”

“但现在我已经准备好稍微尝试走出舒适区……而且显然，我的这段关系也非常美好。但最棒的一点是，我在内心感到幸福且强大。”

这位英国舞台和电视明星在被选为 Apple TV+ 热门剧集《Ted Lasso》中扮演 Rebecca Welton（陷入困境的英国足球俱乐部 AFC Richmond 的老板）后声名大噪。

法拉奇：绿党令人反感的帖子使我和同事成为暴力袭击目标

NIGEL Farage 指责绿党领导人将改革党（Reform）政治家变成了暴力的“合法目标”。

他在社交媒体上看到 Zack Polanski 分享了一张照片，照片中的一名男子穿着一件 T 恤，上面画着一个断头台的漫画，并写着：“我们只在为 Nigel 制定计划”——而就在几周前，改革党的 Ann Widdicombe 在家中被杀。对此，法拉奇发出了谴责。

Polanski 先生现已将其 Instagram 个人资料中的该帖子删除，其关注人数超过 700,000 人。

但在今日的《每日邮报》文章中，法拉奇先生指责这位绿党领导人在煽动针对他以及他党派的仇恨。他说：“近年来，我经历了一切，从被泼奶昔到被扔石头，头部被标语牌击中，家里遭到袭击。而一直以来，敌对的媒体评论员和政治对手一直试图通过将我和改革党诽谤为法西斯分子和种族主义者来煽动仇恨——实际上将我们标记为合法目标。”

作者：Sophie Church

截至昨晚，尽管改革党已向警方举报其煽动暴力，但 Polanski 先生仍未就此事道歉。伦敦大都会警察局昨日确认，在收到一份“关于社交媒体分享图片的第三方报告”后，警员正在“进行调查”。

《每日邮报》获悉，警方尚未与 Polanski 先生联系。

但这位绿党领导人昨日因该帖子遭到了来自整个政治光谱的广泛批评——包括来自他自己党内的人员。

内部人士对 Polanski 先生在社交媒体上“急躁”的处理方式表示沮丧。一名绿党消息人士告诉《每日邮报》，Polanski 先生“需要放下手机”。

Kemi：这对受害者来说是终身监禁

强奸犯被允许提前出狱引发愤怒

作者：Claire Ellicott 白厅编辑

Kemi Badenoch 昨日警告称，在工党的提前释放计划下，攻击者被释放，而强奸受害者仍在承受“终身监禁”。

这位保守党领导人敦促 Andy Burnham 阻止此类严重罪犯的释放，因为强奸受害者警告称他们“不安全”。

在上周披露警方 Andrew Harper 的杀手被考虑释放后，Burnham 先生暂停了该计划。

现在，Badenoch 女士希望首相修改法律，以防止此类提前释放。

大约 6,000 名囚犯原定于 9 月被释放，以缓解监狱拥挤。但 Badenoch 女士

“绝对是错误的信号”

表示需要紧急立法，以永久禁止强奸犯、儿童色情犯罪者、杀手及其他严重罪犯提前释放。

预计今年晚些时候监狱将出现容量不足的情况，除非采取紧急行动增加床位数量。在一次与强奸受害者的新闻发布会上，巴登诺克（Badenoch）夫人表示，当攻击者被提前释放时，受害者们却在服一项“终身监禁”。

“这对你们来说绝对是一次终身监禁。他们被判处 20, 30 年监禁，”她告诉受害者们。“即使大多数终身监禁也不是真正的终身监禁。受害者才是承受终身监禁的人，这就是为什么对我们所有人来说，无论属于哪个政党，无论处于政治光谱的哪个位置，将受害者放在首位都至关重要。”

她补充道：“没有人认为应该增加这类囚犯的数量。我们知道监狱系统面临挑战。但这并非答案。这不是解决问题的方法。”

巴登诺克夫人与活动人士及受害者坐在一起，后者

愤怒：昨天，凯米·巴登诺克（Kemi Badenoch）与（从左起）玛丽·斯通（Marie Stone）、凯莉·科宾（Kayleigh Corbin）和杰德·贝尔格罗夫（Jade Belgrove）在一起，这些女性讲述了她们对性攻击者出狱的恐惧

恐惧：左侧的卡罗尔·希金斯（Carol Higgins）曾被其父亲强奸，维基·克劳福德（Vicki Crawford）在 14 岁时被一名年长男性虐待

放弃了匿名权，以强调其中的危险。

这些女性中包括童年时期遭受性侵害的玛丽·斯通，以及青少年时期被父亲多次强奸的卡罗尔·希金斯。

受害者警告说，如果强奸犯在服满刑期前被允许出狱，她们将不再安全。另一名仅被命名为“玛丽”的受害者表示，她收到一封信，告知她的强奸犯即将被释放。

“整个事情充满了不确定性。他们不能给我们提供任何时间、日期或类似信息，比如禁区……给我们时间回到法院申请任何保护措施，以便我们能够安全。这样我的家人也能安全。这就是我今天想要表达的。你知道，是我们作为受害者。我们安全吗？我认为我们并不安全。”

巴登诺克夫人还表示，提前释放罪犯传递了“错误的信号”。

“会有其他犯罪者认为，嗯，犯罪可能是值得的。我可能不会被抓到，即使被抓到了，我也只需要服刑三分之一的刑期，”她补充道。

“这是在向犯罪分子发送错误的信号。”

她表示，工党应该通过提前释放商店窃贼来应对过度拥挤的问题，而不是释放儿童色情犯罪者、强奸犯和杀手。巴登诺克夫人补充说，她将支持政府阻止这些罪犯的释放。

她还为保守党在执政 14 年结束时仅增加了 500 个监狱床位表示道歉，但说她无法改变过去。

内政部被指“使用虚假的 AI 文档”拒绝庇护申请

作者：理查德·马斯登 (Richard Marsden)

一名资深法官指责内政部使用通过“AI 幻觉”获取的虚假信息来拒绝一项庇护申请。

该申请由一名摩洛哥女性及其孩子提出，他们逃离这个北非国家的原因是经历了强迫早婚，且担心她会被丈夫杀死。

内政部驳回了该女性的申请，理由是一份据称独立且权威的名为“国家政策信息通知”（CPIN）的文档中提供的证据，该文档称摩洛哥对该女性是安全的。

然而，该文档无法被找到，该女性的律师——其最初

“幻觉的结果”

上诉被驳回——在向高级法庭提起上诉时，一名法官表示：“看来从未存在过这样的 CPIN。”

该法官在 7 月 14 日审理时表示，内政部拒绝该女性申请的信函“具有与使用人工智能一致的特征”。

他补充道：“因此，该信函中提到的‘摩洛哥国家信息通告 2021 年 7 月’可能是人工智能‘幻觉’的结果。”

“如果确实如此，这将代表被申请人 [内政部] 方面极其严重的失职。”

自 2017 年以来，尚未发布关于摩洛哥的 CPIN。

内政部发言人表示：“所有申请始终根据其具体情况并基于最新证据进行考虑，以确保只有真正有需要的人才能获得英国的保护。”

该女性的案件仍在审理中。

快艇杀手用炽热的烧烤夹击中新女友胸部导致其留下疤痕

作者：Cameron Charters 和 Chiara Burrell

快艇杀手杰克·谢泼德（Jack Shepherd）昨日承认攻击其女友，期间使用了炽热的烧烤夹。

这名 38 岁的男子通过监狱视频链接出庭，承认了两项袭击和损坏财产的指控。

2018, 年，谢泼德因过失致死被判处六年监禁，此前 24 岁的夏洛特·布朗（Charlotte Brown）在与他进行首次约会并乘坐其快艇时溺亡。

在因进一步犯罪被判刑后，他于 2024 年 1 月获准假释，但去年 9 月因被指控对新伴侣实施暴力而被重新收监。

谢泼德在出狱后，于 2024 年 8 月开始与这名 50 多岁的女性约会。

两人在他搬到伦敦西部的南all（Southall）并在同一栋房子里租房后相识。

在交往四个月后，谢泼德开始

“嘲讽她的体重和年龄”

检方表示，他称呼她为“老太婆”和“老鼠”。

受害者称，他通过嘲讽她的体重和年龄来贬低她，并指责她与其它男人调情。

据称，在去年 2 月的一次争吵中，谢泼德将女友按在地上，“多次拳击她 [并] 导致她的手臂和腿部上方出现瘀伤”。

在第二次事件中，2025, 年 6 月，谢泼德因她在烧烤时烤焦了一块披萨而生气，并“用烧烤夹击中她的左乳，导致其留下永久性疤痕”。同月，他还损坏了她的钥匙。

检方同意撤销另外两项指控——控制或强制行为以及蓄意窒息。该女性

声称谢泼德威胁地提到了一名暴力前狱友，并告诉她，如果她向他的缓刑监督员说任何坏话，那天将是她的“最后一天”。

《每日邮报》获悉，谢泼德在搬进这栋改造房后不久就盯上了他的新女友。

两人占用了六个房间中的两个，每个房间都配有厕所和淋浴间，并共用一个公共厨房。

邻居描述他的女友“孤独且需要有人倾诉”。

他们说，谢泼德把头发剪得很短，并使用了一个不同的姓氏。

在住在该物业期间，他还没有恢复到

之前的网页设计师职业，而是在出售二手家具。

一名居民说：“起初他们看起来是一对幸福的伴侣。但过了一段时间，他们开始发生非常、非常令人不安的争吵，整栋房子的人都得听见。有尖叫、吼叫等一切情况。”

“她过去常说她很害怕 [且] 他……威胁她。”该邻居补充道：“她经历了地狱般的痛苦。他本可以将她杀掉。他是个危险的男人。”

“他欺骗了她，也欺骗了我们所有人。我们都被他蒙骗了——但他对所有女性来说都是一个危险。”

谢泼德在因布朗女士之死被起诉并随后入狱后，首次引起全国关注。

2015 年 12 月，他们曾在伦敦喝香槟，随后他带她乘船游览泰晤士河。

审理听到，他为了“吸引女孩”而购买了这艘有缺陷的船，并试图在河中疾驰以炫耀。

谢泼德在撞到一根淹没的圆木后导致这艘 14 英尺长的船翻覆，来自埃塞克斯郡克拉克顿（Clacton, Essex）的布朗女士在黑暗中被甩入冰冷的水中。谢泼德被发现正抓在船壳上。布朗女士被救起时处于昏迷状态，随后在医院死亡。

谢泼德（Shepherd）原籍埃克塞特（Exeter），随后潜逃海外。他在缺席的情况下被老贝利法院（Old Bailey）裁定为因严重疏忽导致他人死亡罪，并被判处六年监禁。他最终于 2019 年在格鲁吉亚的第比利斯（Tbilisi, Georgia）向警方投案，随后被引渡回英国。

在昨天于艾尔沃思刑事法院（Isleworth Crown Court）出庭时，谢泼德在肯特郡的斯威莱赛德监狱（HMP Swaleside）提交了认罪书，他被还押候审，直至 9 月 4 日的量刑听证会。

没有授权的“弥赛亚”

Daily Mail, Wednesday, July 29, 2026

只是在制造糟糕的

Burnham 的计划将仅适用于一小部分残疾青年，否则由于福利制度的一个怪癖，他们的单亲家庭每周将损失超过 £80。

但前保守党工作与养老金大臣 Sir Ian Duncan Smith 表示：“我们不应该建立这样一个系统，让人们待在家里比去工作更有利，这其中也包括学徒计划。”

他补充道：“如果学徒计划在与福利制度竞争时处于劣势，那么就应该削减福利。在之上支付助学金是叠床架屋——这只会让一个已经混乱不堪的系统变得更加复杂。”

该计划旨在帮助数量在“低数千人”范围内的青少年，如果他们从事学徒工作，其家庭经济状况将会恶化。约 £30 million 资金已被拨出用于支付这项年度款项。它适用于登记为残疾且居住在单亲家庭的 16 和 17 岁青少年。

如果他们保持失业状态，该家庭每周可获得高达 £340 的额外福利；而如果他们接受学徒培训（薪资通常为每周 £258），这部分福利将会丢失。部长们担心一些家长正劝阻年轻-

“在补贴之上叠加补贴”

……这些人不愿参加学徒培训，因为这会让他们每周少拿 £82。

Burnham 先生已暗示他希望控制福利体系，但尚未公布任何关于短期削减开支的具体方案。

他在周末发言时，排除了“粗暴削减”的可能性，但建议某些款项可以设定为“条件性”的，前提是人们必须接受与工作相关的机会。

此前阻止 Sir Keir Starmer 削减福利账单计划的左翼工党议员们在昨天表示，他们不会容忍任何削减。

Poplar 和 Limehouse 的议员 Apsana Hegum 表示，工党当选是为了带来变革，“而不是削减”，并补充道：“我将与残疾人站在一起，反对任何进一步削减和限制他们的福利。”

Liverpool Riverside 的代表 Kim Johnson 表示：“如果新领导层认为可以通过重启失败的福利削减政治，而不是要求最富有的人支付公平的份额来解决问题，那么它不仅是在重复 Keir Starmer 的错误，而且是在重复 14 年来保守党的傲慢。”她告诉彭博社（Bloomberg）：“如果

走在正确的轨道上？Andy Burnham 和 Alan Milburn 昨天在德比的 Alstom 工厂，首相在那里呼吁

新领导层的第一本能就是针对残疾人和低收入家庭……那么就说明什么都没学到。”

《每日邮报》（Daily Mail）的分析显示，Burnham 先生将政府职务交给了 18 名去年参与反对福利削减反叛活动的议员。其中包括他的副手 Louise Haigh 和首席监票官 Anneliese Midgley，她们是此次反叛活动中的两位领军人物。住房秘书 Angela Rayner 也是迫使 Sir Keir 让步的关键人物。

保守党工作与养老金发言人 Helen Whately 表示：“这提醒人们，工党议员并不支持福利削减。事实上，他们只是想向人们征收更多税——以便在福利上花更多钱。”新的奖学金方案是旨在解决日益严重的“Neets”危机的一系列更广泛方案的一部分。目前，未在接受教育、就业或培训的年轻人数量已超过一百万，占所有 16-24 岁人群的 13.5%。

工作与养老金秘书 Pat McFadden 承认，福利体系对某些人来说成为了就业的“障碍”，但表示奖学金方案将帮助年轻人挖掘潜力。他补充道：“通过向最需要的人提供奖学金并全额资助学徒培训，我们正在确保成本不会成为人们错过机会的原因。”

与此同时，Burnham 先生昨天呼吁学校调整课程，以满足当地雇主的需求并提供帮助。

青年失业率处于十多年来的最高水平。

超过一百万名 16-24 岁的年轻人属于 Neet 类别——即不在接受教育、就业或培训。这是一个危机。

由于工党通过其《就业权利法案》增加了雇主的额外成本，提高了最低工资并提升了雇主的国民保险缴纳额，导致太多企业停止招聘年轻人。

与此同时，一个过于经常奖励不作为的福利体系已变得越来越难以挑战。

但工党在采取什么措施来修复它？或许是通过降低招聘年轻人的成本？或者停止激励年轻人选择依赖福利而非工作的机制？不，他们选择的是

披着进步改革外衣的低预期温和偏见

劳拉·特罗特 (Laura Trott) 议员

影子教育大臣

为了破坏国家运行良好的一部分：学校。

昨天，安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 提议从 14 岁起向学生提供技术课程。制造业和人工智能等科目将从 Year 10 开始提供，并与当地产业挂钩。然而，工党所呈现的方案

将导致学校远离高标准。教育大臣露西·鲍威尔 (Lucy Powell) 主张，“过度关注学术成果让太多年轻人被遗弃”。

但这未能承认学术标准并非在阻碍孩子——而是在提升他们。

在我就读的那类学校（我当地的综合学校）里的年轻人，在 14 岁时就被判定为没有前途。这是一个失去机会的悲剧，我不希望再次看到它上演。近年来英国最伟大的成功故事

就是证明了来自普通背景的孩子在公立学校也能获得世界级资格认证。这应当被庆祝。

教育的目的不是将孩子的志向限制在附近恰好存在的任何工作中。而是让他们具备在选择追求的任何道路上取得成功所需的资格。

还存在另一个危险。招收高学术水平学生的成功学校将继续关注高成就者，而服务于更多弱势社区的学校将面临

采取行动遏制青年就业危机

遏制青年就业危机。首相表示，年轻人应该在 14 岁起就获得专注于技术教育的机会。

企业领袖们对这一举措表示欢迎，但表示在国民保险和最低工资上涨后，工党必须采取更多措施来减轻雇佣年轻人的成本。

挑战了那种文化。他们证明了弱势儿童可以在学术型学校中茁壮成长。

如果回归到一个过于轻易地判定某些孩子永远无法在学术上取得成就的系统，那将是一个错误。

这一切并非在反对技术教育：恰恰相反。英国需要更多高质量的学徒制。但所有年轻人都应享有强大学术教育的益处。

保守党有一个提高青年就业率的计划。通过停止死胡同学位、将学徒人数增加一倍并提高领取福利的门槛，我们可以帮助下一代进入职场。工党的方法则完全走向了相反方向。

本届政府提高了雇佣成本，未对福利制度进行优化，且将后果归咎于学校。

ELLEN Stewart 表示她正在经历一个“哈罗德·威尔逊之夏”。这位社交媒体影响者的最新作品包含前工党首相的片段——他身穿卡其色短裤、淡蓝色 T 恤，戴着望远镜，在曼岛度假，背景中轻快地播放着 Lady Gaga 的《Summerboy》。

对于一个普通的 19 岁年轻人来说，这似乎是一种相当不协调的吸引社交媒体追随者的方式。

但 Stewart 运作的是一个更高的目标。在她的内容中，穿插着对新首相 Andy Burnham 以及其他内阁成员（John Healey 以政府“黑暗骑士”的形象出现，向 Christian Bale 饰演的蝙蝠侠致敬）的精良剪辑图像，以及恳请在工党即将举行的 NEC 选举中投票给“主流名单”（Mainstream slate）的请求。“我们是 DAN JARVIS，我们传递火炬，”一条推文如此惊呼道。

她也不是一个人在传递这把火。当 Burnham 上周进入唐宁街时，使用 X 账号“AlGore-Crave”的 Stewart 被一群年轻的在线活动人士包围。

每一个人都被吸纳来推广他的政治议程，并在 TikTok、Facebook 和 X 这些被迷因（meme）蹂躏的战场上与工党的对手展开战斗。他们承担了一项大胆的任务：试图让工党重新变得“酷”起来。

而且目前看来，这场战争他们似乎正在获胜。直到最近，各党派都承认 Reform 党是社交媒体的大师。

在 2024 年大选期间，据报道 Nigel Farage 的政党产生的社交媒体互动量是工党的三倍，尽管 Starmer 的政党在主要付费广告上的支出高出对方 60 比 1 以上。

但现在 Reform 党在落后。Farage 的社交媒体活动几乎完全集中在试图帮他从一个装扮成垃圾桶的人手中保住克拉克顿（Clacton）席位。曾经他的风格是前卫且反叛的，而过去两周里，内容变成了他穿着一件略显不合身西装外套在选区走动，与前选民握手的片段。

此外，这个日益不走运的冒险项目正消耗掉 Reform 党更多的社交媒体资源，并导致该党基本上放弃了曼彻斯特市长的竞选活动。

几周前，还宣布 Reform 党正在“重组”其社交媒体团队。官方原因是这是其更广泛政治运作全面刷新的一部分。但事实上是因为

帮助 Burnham 赢得 TikTok 对战 Reform 之战的年轻女性

支持者：Ellen Stewart（右二）及其他在线活动人士

Dan Hodges 的评论

法拉格（Farage）及其助手们对于鲁珀特·洛（Rupert Lowe）及其极右翼反叛党“恢复党”（Restore）对其原有的在线阵地所造成的侵蚀感到日益不安。一名恢复党的内部人士告诉我：“几个月来，我们一直在蚕食改革党的社交媒体支持度。而他们正陷入恐慌。”

与此同时，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）目前极为成功的社交媒体运作是由艾比·汤姆林森（Abby Tomlinson）操盘的，她曾是基尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer）领导下的工党“数字主管”。

汤姆林森在 2015 年大选前夕通过创立推广埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）的“Milifans”青年运动而名声大噪。尽管米利班德的权力争夺以失败告终，但工党在 18-24 岁人群中的得票率上升了 12 个百分点。

“Milifans 经常与 EdStone 一起被视为埃德·米利班德的重大失败之一，”一名工党内部人士告诉我，“但艾比非常敏锐。社交媒体空间就像一片丛林，而她知道如何披荆斩棘。”有证据表明，目前伯纳姆支持率的激增是由年轻选民驱动的。

根据昨天公布的一项 YouGov 民意调查，在过去一个月中，支持工党的 18-24 岁人群比例从 14% 跳升至 26%。这还称不上是一场“青年地震”（Youthquake），但可能是一个“青年压力源”（Youthstressor）。

伯纳姆发布了一些制作精良的视频，使用了《爱之岛》（Love Island）的模因（memes），与财政大臣一起“盲选酒吧零食”，甚至与被称为“巴士阿姨”（Bus Aunty）的影响者 Bemi Orujugun 合作，宣布其公交车票价上限。所有这些都非常吸引点击。

但我们的首相这种热衷社交媒体的战略也潜藏着风险。首先，当大量时间和精力投入到在线媒体运作时，他与传统媒体的互动正经历着磨合问题。

昨天，伯纳姆对有关他正考虑对市政税（council tax）和印花税（stamp duty）进行重大重新配置的报道表示沮丧。“我不知道过去 24 小时出现的一些报道是从哪里来的，”他恼怒地说道。

但自从在梅克菲尔德（Makerfield）补选中获胜以来，他一直被迫进行低级别的“救火”工作，压制那些来源显然不可靠的揣测，内容涵盖从提前大选到降低个人所得税免税额的所有事项。

另一个问题是，工党的社交媒体运作看起来确实具有有机性，依赖于广泛的独立（尽管协调较为松散）的影响者（如 Ellen）通过“剪辑”来传播信息。

而且，基于这种传播方式的特性，伯纳姆那些精力充沛的青少年支持者之一发布不当内容只是时间问题。

绿党（GREEN）领导人扎克·波兰斯基（Zack Polanski）目前正受到大都会警察局的调查，此前他（或其社交媒体团队）举报了一张照片，照片中一名活动人士穿着一件印有断头台图案以及“为奈杰制定计划”（making plans for Nigel）口号的 T 恤。

在当前高度紧张的政治环境下，社交媒体丑闻的触发阈值比以往任何时候都要低。

然后是伯纳姆的目标受众问题。他的策略可能确实触达到了年轻选民。但是，他针对的这部分选民在投票日极其难以被动员。

正如比尔·克林顿（Bill Clinton）的政治战略师詹姆斯·科维尔（James Corville）曾尖刻地观察到：“如果你给我看一个基于年轻人和初次投票者的竞选策略，我就能给你看一个失败的竞选活动。”

但在社交媒体的世界里，媒介即信息。安迪·伯纳姆利用一群年轻且热情的社交影响者，正达到预期效果。

社交媒体正带给我们一个“安迪·伯纳姆之夏”。我们的新首相最好趁现在还能享受，尽情沐浴在这些光芒之下。

没有授权的“救世主”

《每日邮报》，2026 年 7 月 29 日，星期三

援助之手：昨天，在 Hardelot-Plage 海滩，法国海事救援服务部门向试图穿越英吉利海峡的移民分发救生衣

那么伯纳姆先生，如果“计划正在奏效”，为什么上周仍有 880 名移民跨境？

作者：Greg Heffer

安迪·伯纳姆（ANDY Burnham）昨天表示，在阻止小船跨境方面“计划正在奏效”——尽管在他担任首相的第一周内，约有 880 名移民通过英吉利海峡抵达。

他声称，内政大臣莎巴娜·马哈茂德（Shabana Mahmood）采取的“非常严格”的方法正在减少非法进入英国的人数。

然而，首相被影子内政大臣克里斯·菲利普（Chris Philip）指责“脱离现实”，因为来自法国的最新图像显示，移民们正 clamouring 试图非法前往英国。

在布洛涅（Boulogne）南部的 Hardelot-Plage，人们看到数十人在海浪中奋力挣扎，试图登上贩运者的橡皮艇，而与此同时，带着幼童的家庭正在享受暑假的海滩时光。

“首相脱离现实”

伯纳姆先生声称，与去年相比，跨境人数“相当显著地下降”，但承认“还有很多工作要做”。

根据内政部的统计数据，在首相就任的第一周内，约有 881 名移民乘坐小船抵达英国。他们乘坐了 13 艘船只，其中周四的一艘“超级橡皮艇”载有创纪录的 165 名移民。

伯纳姆先生因在非法移民问题上的沉默而受到批评——这位首相未能提及他应对此次危机的计划。

相反，他在就任最初的几天里，将重心放在了他的承诺上：降低家庭能源账单、限制巴士票价，以及揭晓他在曼彻斯特的“10号唐宁街北区”（No 10 North）选址——后者被批评者贴上了“噱头”的标签。

法国船只在英吉利海峡保守党议员附近开火 17 枪

作者：David Barrett 内政编辑

在一名保守党议员在英吉利海峡监测小船活动时，一艘法国军舰在其附近开火，英国政府对此要求对方给出解释。

这位保守党影子内政大臣认为，昨天的这次事件是一次企图“恐吓”他的行为。

Philip 先生在接受 BBC 采访时正身处一艘英国拖网渔船的甲板上，随后响起了一连串枪声。当时，法国巡逻舰 Flamant 号距离该渔船 300 码，一名船员用手枪发射了 17 发子弹。

政府发言人表示：“我们正

近景：当枪声响起时，被圈出的海军舰艇距离 Chris Philip 300 码

与法国当局联系，以了解此次事件的背景。”

Philip 先生告诉《每日邮报》，他感到“震惊”，并将就此事与法国大使进行交涉。

拖网渔船的船长 Matt Coker 表示：“实弹演习总是会在（广播中）公布。但这次没有任何公告。”一名法国国防部消息人士表示：“在近海进行涉及各类弹药的训练演习是非常普遍的。这无疑是一次预先计划的演习，与英国人无关。”

Philip 先生表示这一说法“不可信”，并补充道：“现场没有任何警告。”

权力。唐宁街表示，首相就任的第二周将看到他“开始执行解决该国面临的一些最困难问题的任务”。

预计这些任务将包括对青年失业、社会护理、国防支出和经济增长的干预。

在昨天访问德比期间，Burnham 先生被质询关于他对小船危机保持沉默的问题，并被问及是否有一套应对此问题的计划。

他为政府的做法辩护，称：“内政大臣已经提出了一套针对此问题的非常严格的计划。”

数字可能会波动，但总体而言，船只跨境人数在下降，且同比显著下降。因此，这表明该计划正在发挥作用。

在被问及是否承认这些跨境行为可能构成“对国家安全的威胁”时，Burnham 先生表示：“我可以向你们承诺，必须进行所有相关且必要的检查。”

然而，尽管工党声称与法国签署的协议将导致更多出发的船只被拦截，但仍有人看到一艘载满人的充气艇在穿越英吉利海峡，而法国官员则向移民分发救生衣。

在英吉利海峡观察移民船只的 Philip 先生表示：“在过去的几天里，我们看到有 1,000 多名非法移民跨境。”

Shabana Mahmood 与法国达成的协议没有发挥作用——我今天目睹了法国人对一艘移民船毫无阻止之举，甚至通过分发救生衣来提供帮助。唯一保护我们边境的是天气。‘我们现在看到了超级橡皮艇——“Burnham 船”——船上载有 150 多名移民。Andy Burnham 称没有问题，这与现实脱节。’

政府数据显示，从 2024. 年 7 月起，在 Sir Keir Starmer 担任首相期间，共有 77,183 名移民在穿越英吉利海峡后抵达英国。今年已记录约 13,350 人抵达——比去年同期下降了 45%。

什么时候有人才会告诉安迪，他是首相，而不是在 The Smiths 乐队里敲坦布林？

作者：SARAH VINE

政坛就像自然界一样，厌恶真空。随着议会休会，而奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）在躲避“垃圾桶面具伯爵”（Count Binface）的追击，安德鲁·默里·伯纳姆（Andrew Murray Burnham）及其团队敏锐地捕捉到了他们的机会之窗——并果断出击。可以说，他们如此冷酷、不懈，且相当成功——至少在表面上是这样。

三项独立的民意调查显示，工党在一年多以来首次领先于改革党。难怪伯纳姆在第一周就忙于分发“甜头”。£45 的能源削减、国家养老金领取者的税收减免、酒吧、社交俱乐部和现场音乐场馆的商业税率削减、巴士票价上限封顶在 £2、一项数百万英镑的露宿者救助计划：确实，这是一次相当激进的政治快感。

然而没过多久，一些理性的成年人开始注意到这些政策中惊人的“E-number”（食品添加剂代号）含量，以及营养价值的匮乏。绿色环保活动人士质疑，在“气候

“他自视甚高，且令人厌烦”

危机”时刻（仿佛接到了信号一般，欧洲大片地区随即陷入火海）提供电力补贴——从而激励用电——是否明智。他们还指出，大多数家庭在冬季依赖天然气供暖，因此弱势能源用户根本无法从中获益。

在养老金方面，他被指责操纵了一个两级税收制度，并且在惩罚那些正确地为退休生活储蓄的人。

其他人则指出了像伯纳姆这样一名“权力下放”倡导者的明显矛盾：他强行实施统一的巴士票价上限，从而剥夺了地方当局的权力。

至于备受吹捧的对餐饮服务业的推动，将餐厅排除在税率削减之外再次显得不公平——尤其是现在这么多酒吧也提供餐饮服务。

但在最初这两周的旋风式行动中，伯纳姆最引发分歧的行为或许是建立了一个与威斯敏斯特（Westminster）相抗衡的“No 10 北方府”。人们很快就意识到，当他轻描淡写地谈论要成为一名旨在为“整个英国”治理的首相时，他所指的范围并不包括沃尔福德峡谷（Walford Gap）以南的任何地方。

从首相车队在曼彻斯特的一条单行道上逆向行驶的照片，到（匆忙被否认的）旨在改革议会税的方案——该方案将使伦敦和东南部地区的房主支付比国家其他地区多得多的税款——很明显，他打算以南方民众为代价来提升北方。

毕竟，我们不要忘记，仅伦敦和东南部就产生了英国整个税收收入的 45%。所有这些辛勤工作，竟然要被一位似乎怀恨在心（程度之深犹如怀揣一座怀特岛）的工党首相惩罚。

如果这是一个保守党首相，BBC 和其他机构定会闹得不可开交。会出现高压、傲慢、精英主义的指责——而且这理所应当。但由于常见的原因——体制性的左翼偏见——他的这些行径似乎都没有引起任何人的质疑。

相反，他得到了与加里·莱克尔（Gary Lineker）一次惬意的壁炉边谈话，以及来自劳拉·库内斯伯格（Laura Kuenessberg）的一次非常轻微的质询。“那么，伯纳姆先生，您是什么时候意识到自己是救世主的？”

增长计划在哪里？国防怎么说（他在需要将预算提高到 GDP 的 3% 这一问题上含糊其辞）？而且，只要能把工作完成，真的有人在意内阁设在哪里吗？

No 10 北方府在我看来是一个巨大的虚荣工程——一个巨大的白象项目。办公场所、安保、后勤——这些都不是便宜的。伯纳姆的团队声称，这一切都已经“包含”在现有的部门预算中了。

但即使情况确实如此（不可避免地，事实并非如此：一些估计认为长期账单将约为 £100 million），那么在伦敦和曼彻斯特之间调度公务员、特聘助理（Spads）、部长和其他工作人员所花费的所有额外时间、费用和不便又该如何计算——包括伯纳姆（Burnham），他显然更喜欢乘坐私人飞机前往那里？

这一切都太像在演戏了。尤其是对于一个在剑桥大学学习英语的人来说，而且

他的内阁中 61 per cent 是牛剑毕业生。什么时候才会有人告诉他，他是首相，而不是在 The Smiths 乐队里敲坦布林鼓？

所有这些时间的浪费和对他人的资金（Other People's Money）的挥霍都源于两点：伯纳姆巨大的自我，以及他那令人厌倦且不成熟的、想要维持其“好人”形象并将自己塑造成终极“中间派父亲”的愿望。我不想让他太难堪（引用那位伟大的曼彻斯特哲学家肖恩·赖德 Shaun Ryder 的话），但我恐怕他将面临相当大的冲击。

在政治中，几乎没有什么位置比成为“明日之星”（无论是男性还是女性）更危险的了。人们的期望越高，跌落的空间就越大——相信我，跌落总是会发生的。

伯纳姆真正的问题在于

他花太长时间扮演工党的政治宠儿，导致他现在要成为一名高效的首相将变得非常困难。

因为如果说治理国家对每个人（无论例外或仁慈）都会产生一种影响，那就是让一个人变得不受欢迎。唯一的变量在于需要多少时间——以及他们最终会被厌恶到什么程度。在我看来，这并不是“长睫毛安迪”（Eyelashes Andy）完全准备好面对的事情。

这个男人在 TikTok 上制作关于自己的“搞笑”迷因所花费的时间就是证明。给酒吧零食和 AI 海报打分，拍摄令人尴尬的喜剧小品：这一切都是为了展示他多么亲切、多么讨人喜欢。

如果他想受欢迎，他本应该留在他在曼彻斯特的巢穴里。但他没有。他产生了野心。他策划了一场精心规划的政变，而现在他想鱼与熊掌兼得。好吧，这行不通。

事实是，政治就像育儿。刚开始时，你认为你会做得与你的父母/朋友不同，且不会犯他们的错误。

‘像一个分发糖果的软弱家长’

你会选择水中分娩，你的孩子只吃有机食物，你永远不会提高嗓门，或在接孩子放学后想给自己倒一大杯金汤力。

你很快会意识到这完全是胡说八道。就像政治一样，育儿是一件混乱的事情，在很多方面是一次期望管理。

你会迅速意识到，尽管你很想这样做，但你不能成为孩子的朋友——否则，就无法实施任何纪律，或教他们有时必须学习的艰苦教训。

这并不是说你不能成为他们的倡导者、保护者或顾问。但如果你试图让他们喜欢你，他们永远不会尊重你。而尊重是治理中非常重要的部分，无论是在家庭中还是在公共生活中。

伯纳姆没有理解这一点。他就像一个分发糖果以换取拥抱和微笑的软弱家长——没有意识到从长远来看，这只会让事情变得更糟。

而且，对于一个在梅克菲尔德（Makerfield）补选中仅凭 24,927 票就上台且没有授权的人，有什么好尊重的？这个数字仅代表英国选民的 0.052 per cent。

到目前为止，他所做的一切就是使已经衰落的住房市场陷入瘫痪，用一项为社会护理筹集资金的死亡税计划吓坏了英格兰中产阶级，引入令人们反感的挑衅性政策，通过告诉年轻人他们不需要向大学看齐来屈尊俯就（尽管他本人受益于免费的顶级牛剑教育）——并心血来潮地将政府机制迁至曼彻斯特。

这将是一个非常漫长的夏天。

演艺圈内幕！

作者：Katie Hind

演艺业务顾问编辑

近日，在 BBC 的《早餐》(Breakfast) 节目幕后，出现了许多笑容。

这些笑容主要出现在该节目的编辑 Richard Frediani 及其“男孩俱乐部”的脸上——因为他们得知长期担任主持人的 Naga Munchetty 在该节目沙发上工作 17 年后将离职，而她在该职位上的年薪为 £364,999。

对于 Frediani 来说，他在去年因涉嫌欺凌被暂时停职，现在终于在与 Naga 的战争中获胜。消息人士告诉我，最终，BBC 的高层在留住主持人还是留住被昵称为“Fredi”的编辑之间面临一个最后通牒。

他们的不和始于 Frediani 在 2019 年加入早餐节目，在 Naga 看到低职级员工被 Frediani 团队轻视和“践踏”并为其挺身而出后，情况进一步恶化。

但据报道，虽然这位编辑被他的下属广泛鄙视，但他与高层关系“很好”。

事实上，昨天宣布 51 岁的 Naga 将转到 Radio 5 Live，将在那里主持每周五天的早餐节目。Frediani 则继续留任。

对于 Naga 与 Charlie Stayt 共同主持的 BBC 《早餐》节目来说，这几年并不容易。Naga 的离职是在 2025 年对其行为进行内部调查之后，该调查涉及一段为期三年的欺凌投诉。

她被指控欺凌一名女同事，并在播完后开了一个“极其不专业”的性玩笑，导致一名同事感到“被羞辱”。调查结束后，Naga 仍留在 BBC 的岗位上。

与此同时，在 2020 年，我首次揭露 Frediani 在担任编辑不到一年时，就被指控欺凌员工。

此后多年，我一直听到员工抱怨他涉嫌的行为，而在 2025 年 6 月，据称在针对欺凌和不当行为指控的内部审查开启后，他请了长期假。

虽然 Naga 获得了澄清，但据我所知，看到她的上司在经历自己的调查（其中至少一项投诉被维持）后也回到了节目组，这对她来说是“难以忍受”的。

“《早餐》节目当时就像个战场，Naga 在与掌权者——也就是她的老板的战斗中输了，而她的老板似乎不喜欢被挑战，”一名 BBC 内部人士在 Radio Five Live 新闻办公室公布她新职位的消息后不久告诉我。

“[Naga] 远比 Fredi 更具故事性——他没上头条，而她上了。大量的头条新闻将她描绘成一个完全的怪物——但‘替罪羊’可能更准确。”

“归根结底，没有足以开除 Naga 的决定性证据，但她不再主持《早餐》节目是对所有相关人员最好的选择，因为局面已经变得非常棘手。”

“在 Naga 的圈子里，绝对有人注意到，那个女人走了，而那个...”

为什么 Naga 在与 BBC Breakfast“男子俱乐部”的斗争中，她的盟友们在说：“女人走了，男人留下。经典！”

动态：Naga Munchetty 和 Charlie Stayt 在 BBC Breakfast 沙发上，左图为昨日讨论她担任 Radio 5 Live 早间节目主持的新角色

男人依然在原位。经典。我们经历过 Jermaine Jenas 给女性发肮脏的性暗示短信，MasterChef 的 Gregg Wallace 恶劣对待初级员工，Wynne Evans 在工作场所使用最卑劣的性词汇，但看看 Naga 遭受的指责。

当然，Naga 也有她的批评者。在过去 18 个月里，自从关于她所谓行为的报道曝光以来，我听到了各种不一的内部报告。

去年，当她的搭档 Sally Nugent 展示她的“容貌提升”并成为全国议论的话题时，有说法称 Naga 对她搭档的新形象发表了刻薄的评论。

“我们应该是严肃的记者，而不是试图让自己看起来像是在主持《This Morning》，”据称她这样告诉了 Sally。

然后还有 Geri Halliwell-Horner，这位前辣妹成员在一次现场采访中遭到了 Naga 酸辣之舌的攻击，主持人在采访中指向了这位歌手。

BBC 随后道歉。接着发生了“吐司门”，据报道 Naga 因为一名 BBC Breakfast 实习生在她的吐司上涂抹 Marmite 方式不对而训斥了对方，并抱怨说它“需要稍微烤焦一点，但不能太多”。

“Naga 做很多事情是在开玩笑，有些则不是，”我的 BBC 消息人士说。“坦率地说，人们的认知是她很刻薄，但很多时候这只是她的方式，而且往往是为了演出效果。她绝不容忍任何 $$$$，这也是问题的一部分。”

BBC 内部人士将 Naga 将于明年 1 月开始的新工作描述为“一个绝佳的机会”。

THEY 还指出，她将单独主持该节目，而且与电视上的 Breakfast 不同，该节目每周播 5 天，而不是 3 天。她也不会像在 BBC Breakfast 那样在周六主持节目。

Naga 可能还可以从伦敦主持部分节目，而无需全职留在索尔福德（Salford），

这意味着她将离她位于伦敦东南部杜尔维奇（Dulwich）的家更近。

然而，在昨日发布的一份声明中，Naga 在关于她离开的评论中措辞谨慎，完全没有提到她与前编辑之间的不和。

她表示：“在过去的 17 年里，能成为 BBC Breakfast 电视团队的一员，与一群才华横溢且勤奋的记者共事，是一项荣幸，他们不仅是优秀的同事，也是伟大的朋友。”

“在 5 Live 主持一个旗舰节目是一个简单地无法拒绝的机会。这将需要大量的工作，并要求我投入 100 per cent 的专注度和精力，我非常期待全身心地投入到这个角色中。”

当天晚些时候，她在 BBC Radio 5 Live 上分享了这一消息，并告诉该频道的听众，她对加入这个旗舰节目感到“非常兴奋”。“改变就等同于休息，”她咯咯地笑道，但同样，她对 Breakfast 幕后的混乱保持沉默。

关于她的离职，Frediani 尚未发表评论，但 BBC 直播及每日新闻总监 John McAndrew 向 Naga 致敬，写道她将“被数百万每周欢迎她进入家中的观众深深地思念”。

到目前为止，Naga 长期共事的联合主播 Charlie Stayt 尚未发表评论，他经常成为她轻蔑地翻白眼和讽刺评论的对象。

目前还没有迹象表明他可能会追随 Naga 离开 Breakfast 的红色沙发。

“他尽力不卷入其中，他基本上就像瑞士——中立，”一个消息来源告诉我。

“他深受基层员工的喜爱，但在古怪的中层管理阶级中没有多少盟友，但他真的很喜欢 Naga，并享受与她共同主持的乐趣。”

“即使是他也会想念她的。”

凡是闪光的... 特朗普为华盛顿雕像花费400万英镑进行翻新

作者：Andy Jehring

在谈到翻新事物时，唐纳德·特朗普似乎有一条金科玉律。

昨晚，这位美国总统展示了华盛顿特区两座《战争艺术》（Arts of War）青铜马雕塑的照片——这些雕塑现在被覆盖了一层价值近£4million的 23-k金箔。

今年早些时候，特朗普在迈阿密的一家高尔夫俱乐部揭幕了一座 22英尺高的个人金像，并且已经在椭圆形办公室的家具和配件中添加了金色装饰——包括刻有他名字的金色杯垫。在 Truth Social 上分享一张关于这些雕塑耗资 £3.8million 修复工程的图片时，特朗普写道：“正在拆除重新镀金的《战争艺术》雕塑周围的脚手架。”

这两座分别命名为“牺牲”（Sacrifice）和“勇气”（Valor）的雕像自 1951, 起便屹立在阿灵顿纪念桥的入口两侧。它们最后一次进行大规模翻新是在 20 世纪 70 年代，并在 1984 和 2005. 进行了较小规模的维护。一名内政部发言人

金色机会：雕塑失去了青铜覆盖层

一名以电视剧心理变态为模范的连环杀手在被判定谋杀并分尸两名男子后，正因多起未破死亡案接受调查。

James Desborough， 40, 负责了“在不到六个月的时间内发生的三次致命暴力爆发”，他的目标是两名在无家可归者收容所结识的男子，以及后来的室友。

他于昨天被判定谋杀了 Claudio Aquilino， 57, 和 Daniel Coleman， 43,。在去年 4 月至 6 月期间，他将两人的焚烧残骸藏在康沃尔郡圣奥斯特尔附近他的小屋周围的灌木丛中。

“我享受分尸过程”

Desborough 在今年另一场审判中已被裁定谋杀室友 Steven Kempster， 65, 有罪。他于去年 9 月在埃克塞特监狱将其勒死，他说是因为对方打呼噜声音太大了。

警方目前正在调查 Desborough 是否还负责更多的杀戮，包括 Lee Hockey， 50, 的死讯，后者的尸体同样于去年 7 月在康沃尔林的林地中被发现。

在警方搜查期间的多个时间点，Desborough 都在场，并随口向一名法医生物学家提到，他“特别享受”美国电视剧《德克斯特》（Dexter）中的分尸场景。这部剧背景设定在迈阿密，

迈阿密之星

据信，他在去年 4 月杀害了 Aquilino 先生，在 6 月杀害了 Coleman 先生，随后进入他们的银行账户，使其看起来这两个人都还活着。陪审团被告知，Desborough 与 Coleman 先生及其妻子 Hannah Cresswell 陷入了一段三角恋，他是在纽基（Newquay）的一个无家可归者收容所结识后者的。就在几周前，Aquilino 先生也在该旅馆结识了 Desborough。在最后一次被见到之前的一天，即 2025 年 4 月 17 日，他惊恐地打电话给警方，称 Desborough “疯了”。

Coleman 先生在生命的最后一天也拨打了 101 电话，用隐晦的措辞报告对 Desborough 的恐惧。两名受害者最后一次被见到时都是在与他一起离开酒吧。

去年搜查 Desborough 土地的警察最初是在追踪关于 Coleman 先生的失踪报告时，偶然发现了 Aquilino 先生的遗骸。警员还在 Desborough 的小屋里发现了笔记，他在笔记中将自己描述为“准备好杀死并处决任何掠食者”。

Desborough 在 3 月被判定犯有谋杀 Kempster 先生的罪名，被判处最低 14 年监禁。他将于今日被判定另外两起谋杀案的刑期。

孤独的学生失业概率高出一倍

每日邮报记者

一项研究发现，在学校被边缘化的儿童在 18 岁时失业且未接受教育或培训的可能性高达两倍。

研究人员发现，在休息时间独自坐着而不是参与游戏的学生，未来的职业前景要糟糕得多。

分析还发现，最孤独的 12 岁儿童在 18 岁时成为 Neet（即：不在就业、教育或培训中）的可能性是其他人的两倍多。

这被认为是首项衡量童年时期社会隔离与职业结果之间关系的研究。

这项由伦敦国王学院开展并发表在《发展与精神病理学》（Development And Psychopathology）期刊上的研究人员表示，他们的

“需要解决社会隔离问题”

研究结果表明，解决孤独感可以帮助年轻人，同时提高经济生产力。

此前，今年所谓的 Neet 人数激增至 100 万以上。

该研究的第一作者 Bridget Bryan 博士表示：“鉴于人们对 Neet 率的关注，这些发现表明，解决童年时期的社会隔离可能是提高年轻人生活机会的一个重要杠杆。”

由前卫生大臣 Alan Milburn 于 5 月发起的一项政府委托审查警告称，未来五年内每六个青年中就有一个可能会成为 Neet。

报告发现，这场危机每年给英国造成约 £125 亿的损失，包括税收损失以及更高的医疗和福利开支。

现在安德鲁将被剥夺另一项头衔

在安德鲁·蒙巴顿-温莎 (ANDREW Mountbatten-Windsor) 拒绝自愿放弃一项荣誉后，他将被剥夺其仅剩的少数荣誉之一。

查尔斯国王去年剥夺了其弟弟的王室头衔和荣誉，原因是其与恋童癖金融家杰弗里·爱泼斯坦 (Jeffrey Epstein) 的联系。

但这位前约克公爵仍然保留着伦敦市荣誉市民 (Freedom of the City of London) 身份——该荣誉是在 2021 年由伦敦市公司 (CLC) 授予他的，因为他已故的父亲菲利普亲王曾是一名荣誉市民。

自那时起，蒙巴顿-温莎先生一直未能放弃该荣誉，“尽管伦敦市公司已要求他这样做”。现在，官员们已开始起草一项撤销该荣誉的程序，因为“目前尚无有效的合法机制来实现这一点”。一名发言人表示：“我们理解人们希望此事尽快得到解决的原因，并且我们也持有同样的愿望。”

别开那么快，汉蒙德！

前《Top Gear》明星因在 20 天内驾驶保时捷和宾利车两次超速被罚款 £999

RICHARD Hammond 在三周内驾驶其保时捷和宾利车两次被拍到超速，被罚款 £999。

这位 56, 岁的前《Top Gear》主持人于 12 月 2. 日在Herefordshire的Pencraig A40公路行驶，其保时捷 Taycan Cross Turismo 的时速被记录为 68mph，而限速为 50mph。20 天后，他再次违反限速，这次是驾驶宾利 Continental GT 在同样位于Herefordshire的 A50 Rudhall Overbridge 上，被拍到在 70mph 的限速区以 82mph 的时速行驶。

西 Mercia 警方花费数周时间，通过向其价值数百万英镑的房产组合发送信件，试图追踪这位在热门 BBC 节目中被称为“仓鼠”的电视节目主持人。

他通过律师承认了两项超速指控。上周在“Telford 地方法院”，他被

By Matt Strudwick

扣除 7 个驾驶分数。地方法官 Ann Minton 命令他总共支付 £1,771,，其中包括两笔分别为 £333 和 £666, 的罚款、£240 的诉讼费以及总计 £532. 的受害者附加费。Hammond 在 2006 年拍摄《Top Gear》期间驾驶一辆时速可达 320mph 的喷气车时遭遇车祸险些丧命，随后他和共同主持人 Jeremy Clarkson 在 2013 年因在制作一集节目时被拍到超速，在法国被禁驾三个月。

“驾驶证扣 7 分”

在 12 月的违规行为之后，警方将超速罚单寄往了一座 2008 年购买的 Herefordshire 二级登录历史建筑城堡和一座位于 Hereford 附近价值 £1 million 的农场庄园，但信件被退回并标注为

被拍到：Richard Hammond（上图）被测速相机拍到，以及与他的女儿 Isabella 在一起

“地址已变更”。最终，警方在威尔士 Abercayern 附近价值 £2 million 的豪宅中找到了他，据记录，那里目前注册了 30 辆以上的车辆。

警方还在法庭文件中指出，这位两个孩子的父亲在去年 8 月被指控有另一项驾驶违规行为。

Hammond 因两项超速罪名以及另外两项关于他无视警方信件且未能确认自己为违规驾驶员的指控而被起诉。

在给法院的一封信中，该主持人的律师承认了超速指控，但否认了另外两项违规行为，写道：“他回复并确认自己是驾驶员。他通过一级邮件发送了回复。他亲自邮寄了回复。警方撤销了额外的指控。”

Hammond 本月与新女友、治疗师 Kiki Glen 共同现身照片中，他于 2024 年 9 月与结婚 23 年的妻子 Mindy Etheridge 分手。

一名朋友告诉《每日邮报》，两人正在缓慢发展。对方表示：“他没料到这么快就进入一段关系，但他并不抱怨。”Hammond 在讨论自己围绕烹饪、跑步、散步和享受乡村生活的恬静生活方式时，透露了他的新恋情。

去年 Hammond 告诉《每日邮报》，他经历了“地狱般的一年”，包括其婚姻地“毁灭性”的崩溃。

Ruthie：由于家族自杀史，我担心我的女儿们

作者：Codie Bullen 资深演艺记者

女演员 Ruthie Henshall 讲述了她的家族自杀史如何让她对女儿们的健康状况感到恐惧。

她的姐姐 Noel 在 2007 年 8 月因止痛药过量而去世，59, 岁的 Henshall 女士后来公开将此描述为由抑郁症引起的自杀。

这位获得奥利维尔奖的表演者本月详细讲述了她与爱德华王子在 1988 和 1993, 之间的恋情，现在她透露，姐姐的自杀——以及母亲谈论自杀的话题——让她一直为孩子们感到担忧。

痛苦的回忆：左侧为 Noel，与姐姐 Ruthie Henshall 共同在场

她与前夫、演员兼歌手 Tim Howar 有两个女儿，Lily Amalia，23, 岁和 Dolly Olivia，21, 岁。

Henshall 女士在 Happy Mum 播客中告诉 Giovanna Fletcher：“这给我留下了巨大的恐惧，因为我的母亲 [Gloria] 谈论过这件事。我的姐姐 Sue 尝试过。我的姐姐 Noel 真的这么做了。她成功地，你知道的，自杀了。”

“所以，在我的世界里，人们会这么做。如果我的女儿们感到痛苦，我内心深处就会恐慌，担心她们会做出傻事，因为我的家人中有人这么做过。”

Henshall 女士甚至表示，想到她的姐姐导致她在 2020 年的《我是名人……快把我弄出去！》(I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!) 节目中崩溃。■ 如需机密支持，请拨打萨玛丽坦会 (Samaritans) 电话 116 123 或访问 samaritans.org。

伟大的司康大辩论：先抹果酱……再抹奶油

关于司康饼应该先涂果酱还是奶油的激烈争论，可能终于有了定论。

在一项全国性民意调查中，71% 的人表示第一层应该是果酱——这被称为“康沃尔方式”。

研究显示，十分之三的人对此持有“强烈观点”。37% 的人声称曾因为他人做法错误而对其进行评判。另有 22% 的人承认曾与朋友就此展开激烈辩论。

该调查由咖啡连锁店 Costa 进行，该公司现在提供了一个可能解决争论的方案：一种“一半对一半”的司康饼，将果酱和奶油同时挤上去。

“我先在司康饼上涂奶油……”

随着“费塔奶酪疲劳”出现，派类成为热浪期间的最爱

你可能会认为，当温度达到 35°C (95°F) 时，轻食将成为主流。

但在一种被称为“费塔奶酪疲劳” (feta fatigue) 的现象中，英国人似乎已经厌倦了沙拉等健康的避暑食物。

令人惊讶的是，许多人想要不合时宜的冬季暖心食物，Waitrose 报告称，昨天的慰藉食物购买量激增。

该公司表示，过去四周内，农舍派 (cottage pies) 的销量增长了 110%；而其网站上关于意式肉酱面 (spaghetti bolognese)、洞穴中的蟾蜍 (toad in the hole) 和芝士通心粉 (mac 'n' cheese) 的食谱搜索量也分别增长了 91%, 67%, 和 57%。

作者：Eirian Prosser

该超市的高级创新主厨 Stephen Parkins-Knight 表示：“忘掉恒温器吧。当热浪袭来时，生沙拉和冷盘往往会失去其清凉的吸引力。”

“我们看到的是一种‘反向慰藉饮食’的趋势——在被高温消耗一整天后，人们渴望浓郁、扎实的主食来重新充电。”

评论

根除福利心态，伯纳姆

随着被归类为非在学、非就业或非培训（Neets）的年轻人数量现在超过一百万，只有傻瓜才会低估这场危机的规模。然而，同样地，不需要天才也能发现，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）提出的解决方案似乎切入的角度完全错误。

没有人否认鼓励学徒制和职业培训是一个明智的想法。但向已经领取福利的个人提供进一步的补贴，似乎是一种非常古怪的实现方式。

在更基础的层面上，伯纳姆先生这个构思拙劣的计划未能解决一个潜在问题，即一代年轻人已经习惯了白天坐在家里看电视。考虑到其中很大一部分人声称患有抑郁症、焦虑症以及其他各种不太可能通过自我隔离且不对社会做出任何贡献而改善的疾病，这个问题不会自行消失。

在给《泰晤士报》的信中，首相评论说，“将责任推给年轻人本身很容易”，并观察到：“阻碍他们前进的不是雄心，而是充分利用雄心的技能和经验。”

当然，这只是故事中极小的一部分。很大程度上是因为工党引入的措施——包括提高雇主的国民保险缴款和大幅提高青年最低工资——导致年轻人首先就发现很难找到工作。

此外，一个完全不可持续的系统也未能改善整体局面，在某些情况下，福利领取者口袋里的钱比那些外出勤恳工作一天的人还要多。

令人沮丧且可预见的是，左翼人士坚称福利支付过于神圣而不可触碰。社会主义竞选小组（Socialist Campaign Group）成员、工党议员金·约翰逊（Kim Johnson）敦促首相不要“重启失败的削减福利政治”。

如果伯纳姆先生想要拥有任何道德权威来治理国家，他就必须无视这些要求，并果断削减国家的补贴。

试图让英国年轻人意识到，除了漫无目的地漂流进入大学之外，他们还有其他选择，这很好。但他们需要学习的一个更重要的教训是：依赖国家福利不能成为他们的默认设置。

危机在继续

伯纳姆先生在进入唐宁街10号的第一周内，没有公开就英吉利海峡船只危机发表任何评论，这本身就已经足够糟糕了。

鉴于长时间的沉默，人们本以为当他最终发话时，会宣布一些解决该问题的新策略。但相反，他所提供的只是几句随意的评论，显然旨在向所有人保证局面在掌控之中。

事实并非如此。在他上任的前七天里，约有 881 名移民从法国跨海而来。内政部的数据显示，每项庇护申请的成本为 £18,700，仅这些入境者就为英国纳税人增加了近 £16.5 million 的账单。

就他而言，首相急于指出船只数量有所下降。但随着上周登陆的一艘超级充气艇载有创纪录的 165 名乘客，跨海的频率可能很快就变得无关紧要了。但愿伯纳姆先生能把这一点装进他那精心打理的发型下的脑袋里。

波兰斯基必须为其关于我的令人震惊的断头台推文承担后果。安的遇害表明暴力的风险实在太真实了

你能想象如果我作为英国改革党（Reform UK）的党魁，分享一条包含威胁要杀死工党、保守党或绿党党魁的社交媒体帖子，会引起怎样的轩然大波吗？

而且，如果我在这些政党的资深政治人物被残酷杀害不到三周后就做出这样的事情，你能想象那场风波会严重到什么程度吗？

我敢肯定，我会因为煽动而被逮捕。在媒体的大肆谴责和议会要求我在议长面前俯首称臣并卑微道歉的压力下，我将被踢出政治生活。

那么，当绿党党魁扎克·波兰斯基（Zack Polanski）在周一分享的一篇帖子中，显示一名男子站在断头台旁，并配上令人作呕的文字：“我们只是在为奈杰（Nigel）做计划？”时，发生了什么？

什么也没有。当我们指出这篇令人愤慨的帖子时，波兰斯基悄悄地将其删除。

没有道歉，没有警察敲门，没有更广泛的谴责，这里没什么好看的，请继续前行。

仇恨

在我的亲密朋友兼同事安·威迪康贝（Ann Widdicombe）近期遇害之后，这绝对是不够的。

这就是为什么我已将波兰斯基举报给大都会警察局（Metropolitan Police）和伦敦议会（London Assembly），他也是该议会的选举成员。因为当涉及到政治双重标准和我们公共生活中两级警察制度（two-tier policing）时，这种行为必须停止。

对于那些还没看到该帖的人，波兰斯基向他的 700,000 名粉丝分享的那篇违规 Instagram 帖子中，出现了一名戴着彩虹色帽子、蓄胡须的绿党活动人士，他穿着一件印有那个令人不寒而栗的图像和标题的黑色 T 恤。那个看起来 smug（自鸣得意）的胡须男子对着镜头比出了 V 字胜利手势。

这是波兰斯基分享的一系列

由 奈杰·法拉奇 (Nigel Farage) 撰写

来自绿党会议的帖子之一，据报道，这次会议被宣传为“爱、喜悦、社区之日”。只有在左翼“保持友善”（BeKind）旅团那扭曲的世界里，“爱、喜悦、社区”才会包括针对政治对手的仇恨和暴力。

一些愤世嫉俗的评论员指责我们“反应过度”。

那么，让我提醒他们本月初究竟发生了什么。

安，我们党负责移民和司法事务的发言人，在她位于德文郡的家中，在最卑劣的情况下被杀害。

当地警方最初试图向我保证，她的死亡是一次随机的“入室抢劫时走错了房间”。

从一开始，我就怀疑那是胡说八道。

安那令人不忍卒读的谋杀案本应为英国政治中的每一个人划定一条底线。这是一个严正警告，揭示了煽动针对各类政治人物，或针对任何质疑建制派政党在群体移民等问题上共识之人的可怕后果。任何真正信仰我们民主的人都应该将这个极其严重的警告铭记在心。

相反，我们目睹了建制派试图淡化并转移人们对安遇害一案关注的企图。

首先是工党内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德（Shabana Mahmood）和警方负责人发出的不合时宜的官方警告，称我们不应就动机进行“猜测”（而与此同时，他们却在疯狂猜测“没有迹象表明这是政治动机”）。

随后，就在安遇害仅两天后，出现了一次古怪的尝试，试图捏造一起针对萨福克郡一个穆斯林节日的右翼恐怖威胁，关于 12 人被“逮捕”的消息在 BBC 上铺天盖地，马哈茂德女士宣布警方“无疑挽救了生命”。

唯一的问题是，这个恐怖威胁实际上并不存在。

正如《每日邮报》在上周末的优秀报道中所述，这是一场“从未发生的极右翼阴谋”。

这一坦白说极其荒唐的插曲是当局的又一次失误吗？还是这个幻想出来的“反穆斯林恐怖威胁”是某种计划的一部分，旨在转移人们对中右翼公众人物所面临真实威胁的注意力？

威胁

现在，在安被谋杀不到三周后，我们目睹了一个令人毛骨悚然的奇观：一名政党领袖发布贴文，称将她所支持的政党领袖送上断头台会有多有趣。很抱歉，我笑不出来。

正如政府前政治暴力顾问沃尔尼勋爵（Lord Walney）所正确指出的，波兰斯基（Polanski）分享“暗示暗杀另一位政治家的材料”将是“在任何时候都令人作呕且不可接受的”。但在“一名改革党高级成员被残酷杀害的当前环境下，这甚至更为严重”。

沃尔尼勋爵警告称，波兰斯基的行为必须承担“严重的后果”。确实如此。

早在这一切发生之前，我就比英国政坛的任何人都需要更多的安保。在今年 2 月到 7 月 13 之间，改革党记录了总计 1,577 次针对我的威胁，平均每月超过 500 次——每天超过 10 次。我们判定其中有 597 次是明确的死亡威胁。

而且，令人悲哀的是，这不仅仅是语言上的威胁。近年来，我遭遇过从奶昔到石块的投掷，头部被标语牌击中，家中遭到袭击。而与此同时，敌对的媒体评论员和政治对手一直试图通过将我和改革党诽谤为“法西斯分子”和“种族主义者”来煽动仇恨——实际上在极左翼眼中，这使我们成为了合法目标。

英国政治生活中没有其他人必须忍受这些。这就是为什么自 2013 年起我就需要私人安保。内政部多年来拒绝提供帮助，并在去年削减了向我提供的资金。

我必须支付私人安保费用——现在我还得为我的家人提供保护资金。

任何人如果对我在无数头条新闻中被披露的从一位朋友那里收到的 5million 礼金感到好奇，或许可以考虑一下我的私人安保成本。在亲爱的安被谋杀后，我可以想到五百万个接受那笔帮助的理由。

但当然，这不仅仅关乎我——我想强调，这不是一个政党政治问题。我们的民主竟然沦落到这种地步，这令人悲哀，但我已承诺，未来的英国改革党政府将为所有被判定为需要保护的国会议员和政治领袖提供公共保护——包括绿党领袖在内。

令人作呕

毋庸赘言，波兰斯基（Polanski）并没有表达感谢。

相反，如果说有什么反应的话，左翼在面对近期事件时，反而加倍煽动对我们的攻击。

在一名伊斯兰恐怖分子上周末在柏林骄傲游行中杀害数十名无辜民众后，工党议员凯特·奥斯本（Kate Osborne）试图将这次令人作呕的袭击归咎于……英国改革党（Reform UK）和 GB News。她荒唐地宣布，我们是整个欧洲“仇恨升级”的一部分，充当了“现实世界身体暴力”的催化剂。

那么，对于绿党领导人分享一张要求将我谋杀的仇恨图片，奥斯本女士又有什么可说的？她对此绝口不提。

波兰斯基必须为其糟糕的决定承担后果。政治暴力是真实的。它是严重的。它需要被处理。

首先，你还好吗？ 充满关怀、乐于分享的霍莉·威洛比（Holly Willoughby）本周为我们带来了重返广播世界的惊喜，像一个金发小天使飘在棉花糖般的废话之云中，重新回到了电波之中。

在她的 YouTube 新生活方式节目《Together》中，霍莉再次置身于凡人之中，向我们演示如何深炸蔬菜、刨奶酪、烧开水，以及与斯坦利·图齐（Stanley Tucci）进行一场时间长得像在服刑般的闲聊。

他们两人花 50 分钟才做出一道简单的菜——炸西葫芦配意面——而且这么描述已经让这道菜听起来比实际情况更有趣了。

“我是在切、切、切吗？”霍莉在某个时刻问道，无助地盯着几片罗勒叶。好吧，确实有东西被撕碎了，但明眼人都知道被撕碎的是职业前景，而不是软草药。

五十分钟！这段时间内，萨塞克斯公爵夫人（Duchess of Sussex）本可以亲手扎好八束顶级奢华玫瑰，礼品包装足够喂饱一支军队的手工美食巧克力，挥舞她那颠倒的果酱钳。她会掐表提醒哈里（Harry），向世界强调她持续的皇室联系和名人地位，为她那些想象中的演艺圈朋友准备一场由 TikTok 菜肴组成的多道菜宴会，并亲自下蛋六枚，向她那些迟钝的母鸡展示正确做法。

霍莉在这次生活方式电视骗局中采取了更随意的态度，她认为自己作为访谈节目主持人的萌芽技能——在精心营造的像布里奇特·琼斯（Bridget Jones）那样傻得可爱的形象加持下——将带领她度过浅滩。

“你在每件事上都非常具体，”她在某个时刻对斯坦利说，“你是否吃过任何不像我想象中那样吃的东西？” [原文如此] 这是这位审问大师发出的另一枚尖锐的榴弹炮。在担任美食评论家方面，她也毫不逊色。“它的味道比我现在知道的要复杂得多，”这是她对这场“洛基恐怖”般的霍莉节目中那盘意面的定论。

人们不得不思考：她想从我们这些观众身上得到什么？难道我们真的应该对另一个由一个发型蓬松、挥舞着木勺的女人主持的、半成品状态的杂志节目产生好感吗？而这个女人此时正假装自己并不值大约 £12 million，且拥有冷热自如的铂金包（Birkins）以及庞大的私人随从可用作处置。

我们经历过这种场景——最近就是梅根（Meghan）和她的《With Love》（Netflix）系列——我们不确定是否还想再次品尝这种表演性的废话。

或者这太苛刻了？也许这个 YouTube 奶酪舒芙蕾只需要一点时间来熟成并膨胀。也许在下一个世纪的某个时候，它能从目前标志其首秀的、冒着热气的平庸垃圾场中爬出来。

与此同时，自霍莉在困难的情况下离开 ITV 的《This Morning》以来，已经过去了 30 个多月。2022 年，她和共同主持人菲利普·肖菲尔德（Phillip Schofield）因涉嫌在伦敦威斯敏斯特大厅的伊丽莎白女王灵柩前插队而受到猛烈批评。

在一个正确地痴迷于排队规则和礼仪的国家，这种行为并不受欢迎。然后

在 Holly 和 Stanley

花时间做一道 简单的意面时， Meghan 早就 能准备好一场 宴会了！

Schofield 在一片阴云中离职，此前他与一名在《This Morning》工作的年轻人发生了“不明智但并不违法”的关系。

一名企图绑架并谋杀 Holly 的男子在 2024 年被判终身监禁，最低刑期为 16 年。

14 年来，Holly 和 Phil 曾是日间电视节目中最成功的搭档——但即使是他们也无法在丑闻中幸存。他的名声扫地——相当不公平地——不仅毁了他自己的名誉，也波及到了她的名声。今天，Holly 说，在经历了这一切之后，她不在乎人们如何看待她的新节目，而且

也许这样反而更好。《Together》没有剧本，以纪录片形式拍摄，充满了摇晃的镜头，以及工作人员挤在一个狭小走廊里、尽职地对 Holly 的所有小笑话发笑的画面。甚至在现场的冰箱里也装了一个摄像头，所以我们可以看到 Holly 盯着货架，翻找着春葱。

“令人兴奋”并不是我想用的词。

《Together》分为五个板块，包括《Talk Together》（一个由 C 级女星讨论她们想与谁“勾搭”的闲聊会）和《Look Good Together》（将以时尚和美容为主题）。第一期节目属于

《Cook Together》，在节目中她介绍了她的朋友 Stanley，她尖叫道他“出现在过所有已存在的电影中，而且他恰巧是一位非凡的厨师”。

当然是胡扯，但天呐，他来了；这个打哈欠的大师，无聊之王，一个永远不厌倦于告诉英国平民“每种形状的意面都应搭配某种特定的酱汁”的人，就好像我们多年前还没有自己悟出来一样。

Stanley 对自己非常满意，而且极其圆滑，以至于他随身携带一瓶橄榄油，大概是从他自己的膝盖骨上直接榨出来的。“我有多烦人？”是他参加《Together》时的开场白。别挑战我。他喜欢将自己塑造为一个老练的世界公民，但在节目开始 8 分钟后，竟然不顾形象地开了一个关于西葫芦的下流玩笑。

就 Holly 而言，她足够亲切，并且非常渴望被认为具有亲和力。因为在这个充斥着人造台面和伪造厨房的世界里，真实性就是一切。看看她！她穿着牛仔裤，说着 F 开头的脏话，如此平凡且充满了商业街气息，就像我们一样。然而，当她从冰箱里拿出一瓶酒，惊恐地发现那东西竟然叫作——天呐——灰皮诺起泡桃红葡萄酒（pinot grigio rose）时，这个假象很快就崩塌了。

“这是灰皮诺，但它是粉色的，这得有多奇怪？”她喊道。

一点也不奇怪，Holly。英国每年销售 2100 万瓶这种酒，它是一种流行且廉价的饮品，主要由 25 到 54 岁的女性消费——这正是你的目标观众群。我想应该是这样。然后 Stanley 对意大利起泡酒表现得有些自命不凡，这在那些喝 Prosecco 的妈妈们那里也不会受欢迎。

这就是让我无法接受的地方。 这些虚假的时尚生活 专家们通过牺牲其他 女性的利益来提升自己 的名声和银行账户，而 这些女性被鼓励去信任 并相信她们。

在最近参加澳大利亚版《MasterChef》时，萨塞克斯公爵夫人告诉参赛者，她的母亲 Doria 是一位出色的厨师，她从小就吃着惊人的加州农产品长大。

也许这只是为了以此润色她作为评委的资历，表明她能分辨出有机胡萝卜的两端，但此前 Meghan 多次表示，她曾是一个拿着备用钥匙回家的小孩（latchkey kid），从小吃微波炉食品、电视晚餐以及在 Taco Bell 和 Sizzler 的沙拉吧等连锁餐厅用餐。所有这些关于现实的“家常版”描述都能是真的吗？

在这个生活方式节目的世界里，简约、真实、连贯和良好品味，往往是主菜单中被遗漏的成分。然而，当《共同烹饪》(Cook Together) 终于落下帷幕，意面端上桌时，至少霍莉 (Holly) 和斯坦利 (Stanley) 看起来很高兴。 “你太棒了，”她对他说道。 “不，是你太棒了，”他回答道。 这确实很神奇。

日本致命地震导致购物中心坍塌，搜救幸存者

昨晚，一次强震袭击日本南部并摧毁了一家购物中心，导致数十人被困，许多人被担心已经遇难。

这场 6.8 级地震于昨天下午袭击了日本九州岛南部的熊本市，已确认造成 1 人死亡，至少 100 人受伤。

救援人员昨晚在永旺（Aeon）购物中心的废墟中拼命搜寻，希望能找到幸存者，其中多达 30 名员工无法取得联系。一名

“瞬间全部坍塌”

目击了购物中心二楼在一次剧烈爆炸中坍塌的证人表示：“巨大的烟雾滚滚而起——我们周围的情况就像火山灰在飘落一样。”

一名警方法源告诉当地广播公司 RKK，随着搜寻的继续，预计会有许多死亡病例，而熊本市一家拥有 400 张床位的医院表示，在处理伤员方面“已经达到满负荷状态”。

发言人松冈义隆（Yoshitaka Matsuoka）表示：“地震中因家具倾倒而导致骨折等受伤的人们被接二传三地送进来。我们有 400 张床位，但空间已经快用完了。”

日本首相高市早苗（Sanae Takaichi）在社交媒体上表示，她“向所有受灾群众表示衷心的哀悼”。她补充道：“政府将彻夜不懈地努力，迅速评估整体受损情况，并采取紧急救灾措施，首要任务是救援和拯救受灾人员。”

由 Eliana Silver 和 Sabrina Sabrina Penty 报道

昨天出现了一些震撼的视频，记录了灾难发生时的惨状：路面扭曲，建筑物坍塌，购物者们四处寻找掩护。

其中一段视频显示，熊本城（该国最著名的城堡之一）围墙上的石头崩塌在地。

一名目击者说：“它不是一块块掉下来的，而是一下子全部坍塌了。”

当时在高速列车上的几个人也受伤了，而日本制纸工业（Nippon Paper Industries）一家工厂的烟囱坍塌后，多人失踪。

据报道，有 50,000 户家庭失去了电力供应。

此次地震记录为震度 7，这是日本地震烈度等级中的最高级，随后发生了多次强余震。震中位于熊本市南部的宇城市，深度为 6 英里。

日本气象厅警告居民，未来一周内还可能发生强震，并存在引发山体滑坡的风险。自首次地震以来，已监测到约 100 次余震。

此次地震发生在 2016 年 4 月熊本两次独立地震的十余年之后，当时造成 277 人死亡，2,800 人受伤。

独家报道

作者：Glen Keogh 特派记者

一名母亲及其认识仅几个月男友于昨日被裁定谋杀其两岁女儿，此前该女童遭受了一系列令人作呕的暴力侵害。

Isabelle Welsh 连续数周遭到其母亲 Alexandra Walker（26岁）和恋童癖者 Harrison Simpson（22岁）的虐待，后者还被裁定对该儿童实施性侵犯。

蒂赛德刑事法院（Teesside Crown Court）审理获悉，在 2025年 9月被谋杀前，Isabelle 经历了 21 处骨折，因暴力性侵导致内脏撕裂，并因被紧紧抓住和摇晃而造成 97 处软组织损伤。

在她去世前不久，在医生否决了其他工作人员对该儿童的担忧后，这名幼儿被医院遣送回家。随后，她遭受了最后一次“严重的头部损伤”，这与被“剧烈摇晃”且头部“撞击墙壁或硬地板等坚硬且不灵活的表面”相一致。

当 Isabelle 显然病危时，Walker 没有拨打救护车，而是抽了一根烟，并在 Google 上搜索：“为什么我的幼儿会流血？”

“在楼梯底部一动不动”

一小时后，她终于打电话向继父求助，他立即告诉她拨打 999。

尽管救护车在 1 分钟内就抵达了她位于蒂赛德索纳比（Thornaby, Teesside）的房产，但 Isabelle 仍未能获救。

就在被谋杀前 11 天，由于腿部骨折，她被母亲不情愿地带到全科医生处，随后送往医院。

位于郡达勒姆郡斯托克顿（Stockton, Co Durham）的北蒂斯医院（North Tees Hospital）的工作人员由于担心潜在的虐待，不希望让 Isabelle 随其离开。

尽管 Isabelle 行走困难，Walker 仍等待了两周才寻求治疗。她声称这个小女孩一定是腿被卡在婴儿床里才受伤的。

9月 2日，当医院提出担忧时，Walker 变得“好争论”且愤怒——她向一名提出保护问题的护士猛扑过去。

这名母亲警告护士，与保护团队沟通是“完全没有必要的”。儿科团队的医生最终否决了这些担忧，Isabelle 被允许随 Walker 离开。

由于医院最初的担忧，一名健康访问员被要求与 Walker 沟通——但她是通过电话进行的，而 Walker 使她相信一切正常。不到两周后，

9月 13日，急救人员发现 Isabelle 瘫在楼梯底部，一动不动。

不幸的是，当 Isabelle 回到医院且无法被救活时，正是那名提出保护担忧的护士在值班。

该护士表示，这个孩子“从头到脚布满了瘀伤”。在法庭上，Walker 将这些伤势归咎于 Simpson。Simpson 拒绝提供证词，但他的大律师表示 Walker 应对 Isabelle 的死亡负责。

审判获悉，这对情侣于去年夏天相识。他们的关系不稳定，经常一起饮酒并

吸食大麻。在 Simpson 到来之前，影像资料显示 Isabelle 快乐地玩耍，并且定期出勤托儿所。

Simpson 对 Isabelle 表现出不健康的兴趣，包括在没有提示的情况下单独给她洗澡，这导致 Walker 在性犯罪者登记册中搜索了他的名字。

尽管如此，在 Isabelle 去世当天早晨，她仍被单独留在 Simpson 身边。

陪审团裁定两人谋杀罪和虐待儿童罪成立。他们将在明天的量刑中面临终身监禁。

Isabelle 的父亲 Josh Welsh 表示，“为 Isabelle 赢得正义”对他而言“意味着一切”。

哈里通过视频通话干扰梅根在《澳大利亚名厨》（MasterChef Australia）的亮相，这似乎已成常态。每当梅根在拍摄时，哈里总会在某些巧合得令人起疑的时刻“突然出现”。难道她也像已故女王在接见室里那样，有一个精心布置的按钮用来召唤公爵吗？当对话陷入僵局时，女王的侍从会神奇般地出现，示意时间到了。女王陛下的“无聊警报器”就藏在边桌下。那么，梅根把那个能让“巴甫洛夫式”的哈里立刻响应的警报器藏在哪了？

安迪·伯纳姆（ANDY Burnham）那种“平民之友”的姿态很快会在选民面前适得其反，八位首相的传记作者安东尼·塞尔登爵士（Sir Anthony Seldon）如此预测。塞尔登表示：“布莱尔因为‘叫我托尼就好’而遭到很多嘲笑，卡梅伦则因为‘叫我戴夫就好’而受窘。人们不需要一个屈尊地降到他们水平的人，人们想要的是可以仰望的人。”

伊莱恩·佩吉（Elaine Paige）在与大卫·贝克汉姆获封爵士的同时被封为女勋爵，她回忆起与贝克汉姆妻子维多利亚（如图）建立情谊的往事。“当维多利亚看到我时，她惊呼了一声，”伊莱恩说。“但随后她赞叹我看起来多么迷人，谢天谢地；当我告诉她我的手袋是她的设计之一时，她捂住胸口说：‘我太喜欢那个了，非常感谢’。” 生活难道不美好吗？

根据喜剧演员萨莉·菲利普斯（Sally Phillips）的说法，名流发型师尼基·克拉克（Nicky Clarke）即便在度假时也从未下班。“在度蜜月时，我们最后在马尔代夫的一个岛上遇到了尼基·克拉克和他的一名伴侣，”她在播客中透露。“她每天都梳着非常复杂的发型。你可能会想象他们在那儿激情做爱，但实际上他是在用奇怪的形状帮她编头发。” 有尼基在，绝不会出现糟糕的发型日！

已故的格莱妮丝·罗伯茨（GLENYS Roberts）回忆起当年在飞机上还允许吸烟时与比尔·奥迪（Bill Oddie）的一次旅行。“他被前座那个不停抽烟的女人气疯了，以至于他把一条航空毯扔在她的头上，并在她的脖子周围收紧，”她说。“结果那个冒犯的乘客竟是一名修女。她的反应绝非来自上帝。”

尼基·法拉奇（NIGEL Farage）的“宫廷小丑”、脾气暴躁的喜剧演员吉姆·戴维森（Jim Davidson）始终是一名保守党人，并坚决拒绝加入改革党。原因是什么？作为一名自封的玛格丽特·撒切尔拥护者，他想要保留自己在极端保守派的卡尔顿俱乐部（Carlton Club）的会员资格。

格雷厄姆·诺顿（GRAHAM Norton）赞美在科克郡（County Cork）度过孤独童年暑假的快乐。“朋友？抱歉，你是说朋友吗？”他在播客中问道。“不，因为我上的是新教学校，所以所有新教徒都是从一个很宽广的区域被运过来的。我放学后回家，完全不认识邻居里的任何孩子。我很喜欢那样。”

野火威胁法国导弹工厂

昨日，由于野火威胁到储存炸药的导弹和火箭工厂，法国一座海滨度假胜地的数千名游客被紧急疏散。

由于在城市附近的苏日营地（Camp de Souge）军营附近爆发大规模火灾，官员命令波尔多附近的拉卡纳（Lacana） 4,000 人撤离。火灾始于下午 1 点左右，并迅速在围绕该 2,800 公顷营地的松林中蔓延。由于该地块有数十年来埋藏的未爆炸军事弹药，该地被列为“高风险”区域。

一名宪兵表示：“我们担心地雷和其他可能的爆炸物被埋在土壤下。这是一个非常危险的情况。” 附近还有航空航天和国防制造设施，包括达索航空（Dassault Aviation）和罗克赛尔（Roxel）。应急服务部门已部署，并出动了一架空客 A400M 消防飞机。

此前，法国和西班牙已有超过 360,000 人被疏散，近 100,000 公顷土地在野火中被摧毁。我们在西班牙的别墅没了 —— 见第 22 和 23 页

特别报道

作者：Ian Gallagher 与 Arthur Parashar

有些事情，索尼娅·埃克塞尔比（Sonia Exelby）的家人无疑更希望不知道。其中就包括，这位来自朴次茅斯、温柔的 32 岁音乐教师在据称被一名崇拜埃及死神的虐待狂谋杀前的最后几分钟里，究竟经历了怎样的恐惧。仅仅知道索尼娅完全意识到自己的终结即将到来就已足够痛苦。在距离她英国海滨家乡数千英里之遥的佛罗里达森林的一间小屋里，当她的绑架者在洗澡时，她设法给一位朋友发送了一条令人不安的最后信息。

她说：“我想他会快刀斩乱麻，不给我的脑子纠结的时间。”在她匆忙打出的文字中透露出一种无奈感。“我的时间到了，”她总结道。

不久之后，她被刺死。几天后，她的尸体在茂密林地附近的一个浅坟中被发现。

前披萨外送员德温·霍尔（Dwain Hall），53 岁，他在一个恋物癖网站上结识了索尼娅。他将于今年晚些时候因绑架和谋杀她而受审，如果被定罪，可能会面临死刑。他否认了这些指控。

在一个电视剧和纪录片探讨人性阴暗面、几乎没有禁忌未被打破的时代，索尼娅惨死的故事依然具有震撼人心的力量。

因为索尼娅是心甘情愿地跨越大西洋，并向她的虐待者付费，请求对方折磨并杀死她。

尽管她的家人仍在为索尼娅是如何走向死亡而深受困扰，但仍有许多令人不安的细节，他们希望能够避而不见。

关于她最终如何落入绑架者之手的部分情况在佛罗里达州的一份警方报告中有所概述。该报告是用平淡的官方文字撰写的，但其内容同样令人心碎。

其中一段文字尤为醒目。报告称，索尼娅想要结识“愿意暴力杀死她的网络人士”。报告补充道，在她电脑上留下的证据表明，“她前往美国是为了可能被未知人士进行性虐待、折磨和谋杀”。

自杀是一回事——索尼娅长期以来一直与精神疾病作斗争——但令她的家人无法理解的是，她显然愿意屈从于暴力的侮辱并被杀死。他们仍在等待答案。

不过目前，当索尼娅生命尽头绝望的画面充斥在亲人的脑海中时，他们会用那些从大量快乐童年回忆中召回的画面来抵消它们。

有她在家人的游艇上度过的夏天，与兄弟姐妹一起航行到怀特岛。还有身为合唱团员的索尼娅，拥有天使般的声音。以及音乐家索尼娅，她轻松地精通了钢琴、长笛和吉他。最重要的一点是，她那近乎空灵的平静——因为她的性格温柔，家人称她为“小羊”（Lamby）——让每一个接触到她的人都感到安心。

这就是他们努力记住她的方式。为此，索尼娅的

是什么驱使来自朴次茅斯的温柔音乐导师索尼娅 (Sonia)，飞往美国并付费让一名男子折磨并杀死她？

审判：自称施虐狂的德温·霍尔 (Dwain Hall) 否认绑架并谋杀索尼娅

家人现已发布一份悼词，称其为一名“由内而外真正美丽的人”，她“说话轻柔，总是给予最温暖的拥抱。她是我们中最年幼的孩子，将我们紧紧联系在一起。

她拥有最温柔的灵魂——温柔到她选择成为纯素食者，因为她无法忍受为了让自己吃饱而让任何动物遭受痛苦的想法。

这就是她的样子：善良、有同情心且充满爱……在她身边感觉很特别——她带来了一种平静与温暖，让一切都变得轻盈了一些……她从不评判，从不批评——她只是简单地接受人们原本的样子，并为此而爱他们。

‘这是我们许多人将永远铭记在心的事情。’

尽管仍有许多情况无法解释，但不可否认的是，索尼娅的童年充满了爱。一名家庭成员甚至称其为‘美好的’。

她与四岁的妹妹萨拉 (Sara) 一起，在一岁时被汉普郡波特切斯特的一名公务员及其妻子收养。后来，她与亲生母亲和四个年长的兄弟姐妹团聚。其中一人称，能让他们 [索尼娅和萨拉] 回到生活中是‘最不可思议的事情’。学校的朋友回忆起索尼娅是一个安静善良的人，热爱在合唱团表演。

在预科大学期间，她有一个男朋友，两人共同热爱电子游戏和动物。表面上看一切都很好，但抑郁症在阴影中潜伏，就像在她那‘脆弱的’亲生母亲身上发生的一样。

索尼娅对自己的身体意象产生了毁灭性的想法，当她的心理健康问题变得‘不可收拾’时，她从大学辍学。在 20 岁阶段，她变得越来越孤僻，在电子游戏和网络上结识的陌生人中寻求慰藉。她的生活陷入了恶性循环。

到 2023 年，索尼娅成了一个隐居者，很少走出她在朴次茅斯的公寓。令家人沮丧的是，她坦承自己在浏览网络自杀论坛。

随后，通过一个硬核癖好色情网站，她遇到了一个用户名为‘alphasadist’的人。结果发现那人是路边机械师德温

悲剧之死：索尼娅·埃克塞尔比 (Sonia Exelby) 悲痛的家人将她描述为“由内而外真正美丽”

查德威克·霍尔 (Chadwick Hall)，一个自称的施虐狂，与他患有慢性病的妻子住在佛罗里达州中心地带的一栋小型平房里。

霍尔喜欢索尼娅‘甜美的英国口音’，他们共享性幻想和自杀幻想。

尽管两人尚未见面，但霍尔将自己塑造为她的导师，对她的掌控力变得极其强烈。他为她制定了每日必须遵守的常规。她的家人说，索尼娅变得心不在焉，并决心将他们推开。

2024 年 8 月，索尼娅使用加密消息应用 Telegram 安排飞往美国，去见那些据称承诺帮助她实现被暴力杀害幻想的男人。但一位亲密朋友发出了警告，汉普郡警方介入，为了她的安全没收了她的手机和笔记本电脑。尽管如此，次年春天，索尼娅计划飞往佛罗里达与霍尔见面。但对方以妻子病情恶化为由取消了行程。

在与索尼娅的一次通话中，霍尔说他欠美国国税局 $10,000 ($7,500)。索尼娅提出帮他偿还 $4,000 ($3,000) 的债务，以换取霍尔帮助她——用他的话说，去除‘人性之壳’。换句话说，她给他钱交税，作为回报，他将实现她被虐待和被杀害的幻想。

在去年 10 月 10 日星期五，索尼娅从希思罗机场飞往奥兰多以北 110 英里的盖恩斯维尔。值得注意的是，她预订了次周一下午的返程航班。这可能是给移民官员的掩盖故事，但也表明，也许她并不完全确定这次旅行将如何结束。

当她周一未能返回时，她的男友在Instagram上发布了一则令人心碎的求救信息。“我们认为她已经安排与某人见面……并让自己陷入了极其脆弱的境地。”他补充道，她的家人“对她的安全感到恐惧”。Sonia和在机场接她的Hall，安排在马里翁县（Marion County）雷迪克（Reddick）小镇外的一栋偏远的双卧室小屋里度过周末，这里距离奥卡拉（Ocala）以北 15 英里。在她飞越大西洋期间，Hall购买了一把铲子、一段50英尺长的绳子、枪械清洁剂、伞绳和除臭喷雾。

随后披露，在Sonia抵达后的几个小时内，有人尝试使用她的劳埃德银行（Lloyds bank）卡共七次，但全部失败，直到第八次尝试使用她的Tesco借记卡成功扣除 $1,200（$900）。这笔费用是支付给Solver Wolf路边救援服务——即Hall的救援公司。一名邻居在Airbnb小屋外发现了他的面包车。

Sonia通过Discord（一个在游戏玩家中很受欢迎的即时通讯应用）发给一名网友的、令人心碎且充满拼写错误的讯息，出现在马里翁县警长办公室的一份报告中。

讯息有时显得混乱。“对不起他一直拿走我的手机他不信任我拿着它。他明确表示除非我开枪打死他否则没有出路。我昨晚在质疑这件事。我不能杀任何人。[我]意识到如果我不接受开枪打死他的提议，这就是我最后能对任何人说（day [say]）的话。他向我展示了[如何]使用它以及瞄准哪里。我太害怕了我太心碎了而且承受着如此巨大的痛苦我能做的就是躺在这里做他（gee [he]）想要做的事让他足够尊重我从而不去做那些我真正厌恶的事情。除了有些事情除外。”

讯息结尾写道：“对不起我甚至不知道自己在说什么我试图快点我的时间到了。”

那天晚上，在睡觉之前，Hall打电话给他的妻子告诉她他爱她。第二天，他录制了一段四分钟的Sonia的“同意”视频，这显然是为了在被捕时减轻他的责任。Sonia看起来惊恐且心灰意冷，衣衫不整，穿着她从希思罗机场登机时穿的那件碎花连衣裙。她的面部、颈部和躯干上有淤青和擦伤。

Hall命令Sonia承认她是为了死而来到这里的，并且没有人强迫她留在那里。她只能通过点头和摇头来回应。在录音中，她说她是一个“糟糕的人”，且她理应“受苦”。Hall在拍摄三秒后就删除了该视频，但警方后来能够从他的手机中将其恢复。

随后，在接受警方询问时，Hall盘腿而坐，一只手臂搭在沙发靠背上，有时显得漫不经心——他对Sonia低沉的状态提供了一个扭曲的解释。他声称这是因为她对他不愿虐待她而感到“失望”。

10月 12 日，Hall离开小屋，向南驱车 30 分钟前往奥卡拉，在一家DIY商店买了一块塑料篷布，然后继续行驶 13 分钟，停在一条紧邻茂密林地的安静道路旁。警方从Hall手机中获取的GPS数据揭示，他在该地点停留了大约一小时。五天后，警方搜救犬在同一个地点的浅坟中发现了Sonia的尸体。

她被刺了四刀。随后在Hall的一把7英寸定制钢刀上发现了她的血迹。刀刃上刻着“Dorkworthy point end goes into the other guy”（Dorkworthy尖端刺向对方）——这是指Hall的另一个网络绰号“Darkworld”。

Hall在去年11月被指控绑架和一级谋杀。

《每日邮报》获得了Hall在奥卡拉的马里翁县监狱等待审判期间，与他结婚 28 年的妻子金格·斯坦（Ginger Stein）交谈的未公开记录。

在这些记录中，他似乎已经认命，承认道：“我觉得我再也回不了家了。”

“有很多事情要处理，我很抱歉，”他告诉 44 岁的斯坦女士。

在似乎是指向他告诉警方 Exelby 女士同意支付给他的 $4,000 时，他继续说道：“我们需要钱，但我们并不至于需要到这种地步。”

在其他地方，Hall 似乎对被描绘成“怪物”感到愤怒。他拒绝承认自己做错了任何事，反而将 Sonia 的惨死归咎于她自己。“你不知道我对失去你有多担心，因为当关于此案的所有狗屁事情开始曝光时，情况看起来会非常糟糕，”他告诉他的妻子。“我是在试图帮助一个人，而人类往往倾向于坑害你，基本上就是这么回事。我不是他们所描绘的那个怪物。”

“但我们都知道结果如何——那只是出于同情心和爱——我试图给 Sonia 她想要的。我试图以一种充满同情心的方式去做，而不是像个该死的怪物那样，随便挑一个受害者，诱惑他们做任何事，并在任何方面利用他们。”

Hall 承认“简单来说是没有辩护空间的”，但他补充道：“我不认为我做错了任何事。”

这种情绪并未得到 Sonia 家人的认同。并不是说他们希望 dwelling 在案件的细节上。“我们知道你的生活并不总是那么容易，但你的生命远不止于你所面临的挣扎，”他们在悼词中说道。“对我们来说，让你活过的样子成为人们记住你的方式，这至关重要。”

“你被深深地爱着，你将永远被深深地爱着。”“我们对你的思念无法用言语表达。我们如此爱你，永远，直到永远。”

滑石粉巨头提供 £4bn 以解决癌症索赔案

强生公司 (JOHNSON & Johnson) 已提出支付 $5.5billion (£4.14billion) 以解决数万起声称其婴儿粉导致癌症的诉讼。

这家制药巨头提出了这项和解方案，试图结束在美国进行的一场旷日持久的法律战——而在 2028 年，英国可能会出现一起涉及 £1billion 的案件。

这家美国公司否认其含滑石粉的产品导致了卵巢癌，称这些

By Emily Hawkins

索赔“毫无根据”。该公司在 2020 年在美国、2023 年在全球范围内将其粉末的配方从滑石粉改为玉米淀粉。

该和解方案涵盖了 76,000 起索赔，并将于明年支付 $3billion，随后在 2028 年进行进一步支付。

强生公司的 Erik Haas 表示，这次“解决方案使公司能够将此事抛在脑后”。该公司补充道：“研究表明滑石粉是安全的，不含石棉，且不会导致癌症。” 为了使和解最终敲定，代表美国法院 95% 索赔案的律师事务所必须接受该方案。在英国，去年有 3,000 多人向高等法院提起诉讼，声称他们或其家人因使用该婴儿粉而患上卵巢癌或间皮瘤（一种由石棉接触引起的癌症）。审理定于 2028 年 2 月开始。律师认为，索赔金额超过 £1billion。

及时的弹指之音

视频丑闻：野手的小伎俩在直播中被捕捉

昨天，游客们涌向索尔特本海边（Saltburn-by-Sea）的码头，大快朵颐着炸鱼薯条和 Mr Whippy 冰激凌，但在向内陆延伸几百码的地方，另一个伟大的维多利亚时代地标却死寂得可怕。这座海滨小镇的历史板球场，带着它的白色尖桩篱笆和修剪整齐的外场，空无一人。没有一个度假中的学童在使用它维护良好的练习网或“亚瑟·赫斯洛普室内训练设施（Arthur Heslop Indoor Training Facility）”。一座由彩票基金资助、价值 £600,000 的凉亭大门被紧紧锁住。

唯一能听到的是偶尔一只从北海飞向内陆的海鸥叫声。而这种不合时宜的平静，结果成为了一个极具毒性的风暴中心。

罪魁祸首是一场离奇的作弊丑闻。在短短几个小时内，它让索尔特本板球俱乐部（Saltburn Cricket Club）——一个去年刚庆祝成立 150 周年的深受当地喜爱的机构——变成了一个体育腐败的象征，并成为了全球新闻的头条。

整件事围绕着周六对阵诺顿板球俱乐部（Norton Cricket Club）比赛期间发生的一起事件展开，当时索尔特本的二队正试图巩固他们在北约克郡和南达勒姆联赛（North Yorkshire and South Durham League）第二组的榜首位置。

视频显示，比赛处于势均力敌的状态，诺顿队得分为 39 for 2，此时其四号击球手诺曼·沙比尔（Noman Shabir）步入击球区。随后，他尝试击球但完全失手，球是索尔特本队的山姆·莫里森（Sam Morrison）投出的，落点在外截击桩之外。

到目前为止，一切正常。然而，当球经过沙比尔时，一件非常奇怪的事情发生了：站在第一 slips 位的野手弹了一下手指。

这模仿了球触碰到沙比尔球拍边缘的声音。当接球手随后稳稳接住球时，守方申请判定接球出局。听到声音后，裁判举起手指，判定沙比尔出局。

尽管击球手显然非常愤怒，但他试图向年长的裁判解释自己实际上没有碰到球，但并未获得重视。索尔特本队随后迅速将诺顿队击溃，使其总分仅为 143，从而获得了一场 159 分的完胜。

如果不是因为（与互联网时代许多业余板球比赛一样）这场比赛恰好在网上进行了直播，事情本该到此结束。一段录像被保存在英格兰板球委员会（English Cricket Board）的“Play Cricket”网站上。

一名来自达勒姆、获知此事经过的业余板球运动员本·穆默里（Ben Mummery）因此将视频发布到了 X 平台上，他将其称为“我见过的板球运动中最糟糕的作弊案例之一”。

截至昨晚，该片段的播放量已突破六百万次。

随后，观众们开始在档案中搜索其他类似事件。他们很快就发现了数十起，

这表明索尔特本俱乐部（讽刺的是，该俱乐部自称为一个“友好、社交且包容的板球俱乐部”）采用这种卑劣骗局的时间已经超过了一个赛季。

在几乎所有流出的片段中，都可以看到同一个身材臃肿的男人站在第一 slips 位，在球呼啸而过时弹手指。他被广泛认为是索尔特本队的开局击球手布莱恩·德温（Brian Devine）。

一段尤为令人震惊的视频是由米德尔斯堡板球俱乐部（Middlesbrough CC）二队队长罗里·科特里尔（Rory Cotterill）发布的。他表示，在他们 6 月 27 日周六进行的一场比赛中，还发生了两起类似事件，那场比赛索尔特本队以 29 分获胜，导致一名 15 岁和一名 16 岁的球员被作弊判定出局而失去了击球机会。

他补充道：“当时我就在非击球端，在不知情的情况下实时目睹了他们的作弊行为”。

其他参与讨论的板球粉丝包括皮尔斯·摩根（Piers Morgan），他称该俱乐部的行为是“令人愤慨的作弊”和“可耻的骗局”。几名发帖者在社交媒体上将德温戏称为“弹指庞廷（Clicky Ponting）”——这是在模仿前澳大利亚队长里基·庞廷（Ricky Ponting）的名字。

板球管理机构目前正在进行正式调查。北约克郡和南达勒姆联赛（North Yorkshire and South Durham League）的一份声明称：“本联赛已收到一份关于 2026 年 7 月 25 日星期六一场第二组比赛中涉嫌发生事故的正式投诉。一项全面调查已经启动，在正式程序完成之前，将不作进一步评论。”

骗局：索特本队的布莱恩·德文（Brian Devine）准备打响指，以制造球击中球拍的假象

涉嫌作弊：索特本队的“传奇”布莱恩·德文在 2023 年与冠军奖杯合影

处于震惊业余板球界的作弊丑闻中心的野手——被戏称为“点击击球手庞廷（Clicky Ponting）”——被其赞助的咖喱屋 DROPPED（解约）……但却被其女友的母亲 DEFENDED（维护）！

自 1892 年起就开始运行，是英格兰和威尔士顶层业余板球中 30 多个“顶级联赛”之一。制裁还可能包括对个人球员甚至整个球队处以终身禁赛或停赛。

对于 Devine 来说，正义或许已经得到了伸张。

这位戴眼镜的商人曾在 24 年的业余板球生涯中参加了 481 场比赛，此前在 Saltburn 的社交媒体动态中被描述为该运动的“传奇”，昨晚据报道已被俱乐部停赛。

早些时候，我通过电话在 Northallerton Auctions 找到了他，那是他担任公司秘书的一家当地牲畜拍卖行。在背景中传来牛群的嘈杂声时，我询问他对于手指点击的行为是否

有任何（除作弊之外的）其他解释。

“当然，我不能对此发表评论，”他回答道。“我也不能回答任何问题，因为我现在在工作。”

随后，Devine 面临着被其官方赞助商——一家他经常光顾的名为 Spices 的当地印度餐厅——抛弃的耻辱。

店主 Akmol Hussain 告诉《每日邮报》：“我对这段视频感到非常震惊和厌恶，不敢相信 Brian 会做出这样的事情。我见过他很多次，但他损害了板球运动和我餐厅的声誉。”

最后由 Devine 伴侣 Clare 的母亲 Georgina Vaughn 来维护他的荣誉。“这只不过是一场小村庄板球赛，现在却变成了遍布新闻和社交媒体的大事，”她说。“事情完全失控了，我们谁都不想发表任何评论。”

当被问及 Devine 是否是一个正直的人时，她回答道：“他确实是。”

然而，统计数据却表明并非如此。数据显示，在 Devine 本赛季为 Saltburn 出战的 13 场比赛中，接球手竟然接到了 39 次球。而在他未出场的七场比赛中，他们仅接到了五次。而且在 7 月 18 日对阵 Shildon Railway 的一场单一比赛中，接球手 Josh Bowes 一个人就接到了不少于八次球。

为了对比这个数字，在跨越 150 年、总计 2,600 场比赛的记录中，单场男子测试赛单局中接球手接球的最高纪录仅为七次。

Bowes 是一名当地电工，他是“点击击球手庞廷”骗局的主要受益者。

尽管仅参加了球队约一半的比赛，但他本赛季已接到了 31 次球，比联赛中任何其他接球手都多出 10 次。

上个赛季，他仅接到了 12 次球，而再前一年他名下的记录仅为六次。

这一战果相当于 Bowes 参加的每场比赛几乎都有四次接球。在 Bowes 没有参加的比赛中，Saltburn 的接球手接球数回到了每场约一次的正常水平。

联赛现在必须理清的问题之一是，除了 Devine 之外，还有谁参与了这个骗局。可疑出局的视频显示，当野手点击手指时，几名投球手和野手都以极大的热情在请求判罚。

当然，也很有可能他们像裁判一样，认为自己听到了球击中球拍的声音。

关于谁知道什么的真相，很可能在球队成员讨论俱乐部事务的 WhatsApp 群组中被发现，但目前尚不清楚调查人员是否有权强制俱乐部公布该群组记录。

在 Saltburn 板球俱乐部隔壁的草地滚球俱乐部，一名成员暗示该组织极不可能主动配合，他告诉我：“如果作弊来自高层，我不会感到惊讶。管理层里有一些阴险的人。”

无论结果如何，这次丑闻不过是该项运动自诞生之初就延续至今的漫长且卑劣传统中的最新一例，而这类事件通常会导致规则的更新。

例如，在 1771 年，托马斯·怀特（Thomas White）在萨里郡的一场板球比赛中上场击球，其球拍“宽度与球门本身完全一致”，导致他不可能被击球出局。两天后，相关法律通过，将球拍的最大宽度限制在 4½ 英寸。

1932 年的“身体线”（Bodyline）灰烬杯系列赛中，英格兰队的投球手瞄准澳大利亚击球手的身体和头部，试图以此抵消其明星球员唐纳德·布拉德曼（Donald Bradman）的影响，这导致规则发生变化，以防止过多野手被安置在腿侧的正方形后方。

而特雷弗·查佩尔（Trevor Chappell）在 1981 年做出的臭名昭著的决定——将球在地面上滚动，以防止新西兰队通过在比赛最后一球击出六分球而获胜——促使当局更新法律，使此类投球变为非法。

快进到 2018 年，澳大利亚队长史蒂夫·史密斯（Steve Smith）和副队长大卫·沃纳（David Warner）在开普敦对阵南非的一场测试赛中，被发现使用砂纸将球的一侧磨粗糙，以帮助球在空中产生不规则的运动。

而现在，我们可能不得不将索尔特本（Saltburn）自己的机会主义者添加到作弊板球运动员的耻辱名单中：点击型庞廷（Clicky Ponting）。

我们倾注多年心血打造的西班牙别墅在数小时内被山火吞噬

THEY 将其命名为 Casa de los Suenos——梦想之屋——这是一座拥有三间卧室的农舍，带有一个酒吧，周围环绕着橄榄树和杏树，位于西班牙南部马拉加以东 230 英里的普恩特-德尔-阿尔巴里科 (Puente del Albarico) 一个微小的乡村小镇中。

两年多以来，卡梅伦 (Cameron) 和苏·埃文斯 (Sue Evans) 作为外籍退休人员，在这里过着诗意的生活：招待朋友，结识当地社区，并带着他们两只心爱的狗在安达卢西亚山脉壮丽的松林和崎岖的山麓中散步。

但今天，他们告诉我，他们的家看起来“像一部战争电影”。

周围的景色“一片漆黑且冒着烟”，零星的炽热灰烬仍在燃烧，他们的梦想之屋几乎被山火夷为平地。他们曾与亲友共度许多快乐夜晚的带酒吧的娱乐室被摧毁了，他们多年旅行收集的艺术品也被摧毁了。环绕房产的树木被烧得焦黑。

“我们投入了两年半的心血

迷人：埃文斯夫妇的房子，名为 Casa de los Suenos，或梦想之屋

惬意：这对夫妇与朋友度过许多夜晚的酒吧区域

和爱来打造这座房子，使其成为我们的家，而它在 24 小时内就消失了，”60 岁的卡梅伦说道。

尽管损失惨重，但房屋是可以重建的。本月早些时候，在同样袭击了阿尔梅里亚 (Almeria) 附近贝达尔 (Bedar) 社区的烈火中，有 13 人未能逃脱，其中 7 人是英国人。

“我们是幸运的，”卡梅伦在审视家园的焦黑残骸时说道。死者中包括朋友的朋友，例如在试图逃离大火时丧生的 69, 岁的安妮特·埃利古尔 (Annette Elligour)。她和她的丈夫，70, 岁的马尔科姆·廷布雷尔 (Malcolm Timbrell)，在 2022. 年通过电视节目《阳光之地》(A Place In The Sun) 找到了家，并从康沃尔搬到了普恩特-德尔-阿尔巴里科下方的贝达尔村。两人之前的伴侣都因绝症去世。

今年夏天，已有 300,000 人从欧洲各地灾难性山火的路径中撤离，至少 254,000 公顷的土地被烧毁。

在连续极端热浪和强风的推动下，法国吉伦特地区和西班牙马德里西部的火灾威胁到了风景优美的度假胜地和主要城市中心，且目前仍在燃烧。两国因此均宣布进入国家紧急状态，并警告极端山火

但我们在这里仍然是幸运的人

作者：Charlotte Lytton

危险可能会在整个八月持续下去。

但 7 月 9 日袭击埃文斯一家（the Evanses）的那场大火仍然是今年欧洲最致命的火灾。

火势在最高峰时以每分钟约 300 英尺的速度移动，迅速烧毁了 17,000 英亩的土地，将人们困在只有少数逃生路线的山区。

卡梅伦（Cameron）回忆道，一切始于地平线上一个看似无害的“小烟团”。

这对夫妇 2024 年从黑普尔（Blackpool）移居西班牙。在黑普尔，卡梅伦曾担任强生公司（Johnson & Johnson）的维护工程师，而 69, 岁的苏（Sue）在一家学校从事非教学工作。

那个周四傍晚早些时候，他和苏观察了大约十分钟，看到烟雾开始沿着几英里外山丘的脊线向下翻滚。

他们并没有过于担心——他们以前见过地平线上的山火。去年，朋友们以及随后的当局告诉他们，在消防员处理另一场附近山火时要撤离农舍。但当时他们在 24 小时后获准返回家中。

现在他们决定，只有在风向改变时才会离开——但这并没有花太长时间。二十分钟后，就在 6. 30pm 之前，火势开始向他们方向袭来。

他们抓起一个装着护照、房屋契据和保险文件的袋子——当然还带着他们的狗，英国指针犬菲比（Phoebe）和可卡西班牙猎犬莫莉（Molly）——然后开车沿着山坡向下前往 20 分钟车程外的贝达尔（Bedar），与当地的一小群英国同胞汇合。

“我们都站在停车场里，不知道该怎么办，”卡梅伦说。在这个阶段，他们还没有收到当地当局的任何警报。但情况迅速变得危险——在到达村庄仅半小时后，“风已将火势推到了贝达尔的边缘”。

“你实际上可以看到烟雾变得越来越浓，可以看到山顶上的火焰，”卡梅伦说。

焦虑感增加，他们决定再次转移，回到车里，沿着蜿蜒的半山区公路行驶十分钟前往下一个城镇洛斯加亚多斯（Los Gallardos）。当地人们被告知在紧急情况下聚集在这个城镇的体育中心。

但现在火势开始包围他们——在他们到达洛斯加亚多斯之前，火焰已经横扫道路并封锁了他们的去路。他们尝试走一条后路离开，但“火就在我们周围”，且移动迅速。“火在山坡上，你可以看到它离得很近，在 50 或 100 米范围内，”卡梅伦回忆道。

此时他感到了恐慌，意识到继续向前冲意味着必死无疑，但又不确定返回的道路是否也被大火吞噬。

这是一次惊心动魄的旅程，他们的小车队掉头并尝试了另一条路线。卡梅伦记得当时产生了一个恐怖的想法：前方的车开得不够快，无法跑赢大火。由于火势在极干的植被中穿行，没有间隔或障碍，其速度明显快于一般的山火。这些逃难的英国人在心惊胆战地驶过时，可以看到火花在灌木丛中闪烁并猛烈燃烧。

最终，谢天谢地，他们脱离了危险，穿越炎热的山麓地带，到达了 9 英里外的小镇卢布林（Lubrin）。

在这里，红十字会正在发放应急物资，他们至少暂时避开了火焰。

希望能在大太阳升起后控制住火势，卡梅伦和苏将车停在附近，试图在车里睡一会儿。然而，第二天早上，他们被告知整个地区仍处于危险区域。对他们房屋的担忧开始增加。

化为瓦砾：外籍退休人员卡梅伦和苏·埃文斯站在山火席卷后残存的乡村寓所中

与此同时，此时他们还不知道，Annette Kilgour 已经在 Bedar 的火灾中丧生。起初，她和丈夫 Malcolm 都逃离了他们在村里的房子，但 Malcolm 决定返回去救他们的两只猫，Charlie 和 Lilly。

在试图追上 Annette 和一群其他邻居时，他发现自己

Evans 夫妇现在在距离一小时车程的地方找到了住处，但即使在那里，“我们也能闻到火味——事实上，我们能在山丘上看到火。到处在落灰，空气中弥漫着烟雾”。

在不到三年前，他们深深爱上的这片地区，如今正以凶猛的力量反噬他们。

是在一次庆祝 Sue 退休的欧洲之旅中，他们决定追求梦想并搬到西班牙。在访问位于该国南部的 Murcia 的 Sue 的女儿时，他们的露营车坏了，结果在那里停留了六周。不久之后，他们开始计划自己在西班牙的田园生活。

“Sue 在前一年失去了母亲，想要一个改变，”Cameron 在谈到他在一起超过 30 年的伴侣时说道。

他们考察的第三处房产——一座部分建筑可追溯到 250 年前且建在山坡上的乡村住宅——成为了决定性因素。“Sue 看了一眼，说：‘好，我想搬到这里。’”

“住在如此偏远的乡村，生活并不容易。有时有水，有时没有，或者停电。”

事实上，去年他们有三个月没有用水。

然而，“这是一个美丽，非常美丽的地方，而且如此宁静，”Cameron 说。“这对心理健康有好处，很放松。”

“而且这个地区的人，村民们，一旦他们认识你，会非常友好。”

当然，这种宁静现在已被彻底打破。

目前尚不清楚 7 月 9 日的火灾中摧毁了多少房屋，但 Bedar 村现在看起来像月球表面，一片黑色的灰烬覆盖在起伏的丘陵上，在毁灭的景象中，只有偶尔可见的别墅完好无损。

原本应该在邻近村庄的社交活动中度过的夏天，日历现在被葬礼填满。

Evans 夫妇在火灾一周后，当该地区被认为足够安全可以访问时，并不清楚他们将面对什么样的景象。

当他们开车向村庄驶去时，心情还是积极的，一直在“兴致勃勃地聊天”——但一旦他们家剩下的残骸进入视线，“我们陷入了沉默，然后两人都流下了眼泪”。

Cameron 说，看到废墟的感觉是“难以置信的”，即使在现在，他仍被情绪所淹没。

“你感到不知所措。就像在想：这一切都去哪了？”

农舍几乎被全部烧毁，但火灾路径的随机性意味着一些邻近房产完全没受影响。

其他房子能幸存，要么是因为它们建在较高地势上，要么是因为拥有布满大石块的露台，那里没有任何东西可以生长或燃烧。

幸好，楼梯下方的一个储物格保住了 Evans 家族的照片。但“房子本身对我们来说是最具有情感意义的东西，因为它是我们在一个美丽的地方、一个新国家的新开始”——而现在它消失了。

考虑到破坏规模和重建工程，他们可能至少六个月内无法搬回自己的家，甚至可能更久。

他们说，这种情况简直令人“心碎”。

现在，社区中的许多人都在质疑当局在危机期间采取的行动。在相互矛盾的报道中，一名火灾受害者的比利时儿子发出公开呼吁，征集信息以构建关于 Bedar 火灾的准确描述和时间线。

居民们表示，没有收到关于火灾的官方警告，而当局则坚称并非如此。法律程序目前正在进行中。

居住在英国的 Danielle Gillam-Kirton，她的父母都

“我们热爱这里，我们仍然想住在这里”

在火灾中丧生，在社交媒体上写道，支持这一呼吁：“我们恳请任何掌握信息的人帮助我们获得答案……任何了解我父母的人都知道，他们总是坚持正确和公正的事，如果我不这样做，就是对他们的不负责。”

Cameron 和 Sue 已经开始规划如何应对另一次灾难。他们讨论了在房产周边建立防火屏障，并永久准备一个装满文件、非易腐物资和衣物的应急包，以便在最糟糕的情况再次发生时做好准备。

数周过去了，震惊仍未散去。

“这一分钟你还在哭，下一分钟你就愤怒了，再下一分钟你试着付之一笑——典型的英国心态，”Cameron 解释道。

令人惊讶的是，尽管发生了这一切，他仍然认为搬到西班牙是“我们做过最正确的事”。

在正常时期，没有什么能比这对夫妇在那里找到的平静感更好了。这就是为什么，尽管发生了这些事情——尽管他们的孩子（以及 14 个孙辈）敦促他们回到英国——他们决定留下。

“我们依然热爱这里，依然想住在这里，”他们说。

人们只能希望，人类的聪明才智能够找到方法，在气候变化的背景下，保护生命和财产免受日益增加的火灾威胁。但由于欧洲大陆的部分地区仍处于欧洲有记录以来最大规模一些山火的威胁之下，今年的战斗远未结束。

“你能看到山顶上的火焰”

被火势追上，别无选择只能躲在车里，而——由于一次极不寻常的命运转折——这辆车在周围其他车辆纷纷起火时幸免于难。

与此同时，Annette 和另外六人遭遇了火墙并被杀。

一名男子在学校被警方拦截，随身携带一把手斧、一把锤子和一把 7 英寸的厨房刀。法庭获悉，此前这名南苏丹男子被三次拒绝庇护，并对此前的“移民状态感到极其沮丧”。

曼彻斯特 Minshull Street 刑事法院听取了相关细节：8 月 8 日，在收到关于一名男子行为可疑的报告后，警方被叫到了位于 Middleton 的 Edgar Wood 学院。

该学校当时因夏季假期而关闭，但检察官认为 Deng 打算放火烧掉这座建筑。

检察官 Brian Berlyne 表示，一名工人发现他携带一个汽油桶，腰带上插着一把锤子。

随后 Deng 向建筑后方走去，直到该工人“大声喝令他离开”。警方随后接到报案，Deng 被逮捕，警方缴获了该汽油桶，其中包含半升汽油，以及锤子、手斧和刀。

“没有人听他的”

来自大曼彻斯特郡 Heywood 的 Deng 在早前的听证会上承认了七项指控，包括持有攻击性武器。法庭还获悉，这是他两天内访问的第二所学校。

辩护律师 Sarah Haque 表示：“他认为没有人愿意倾听或帮助他。”

“他的意图是通过制造一场闹剧来引起关注，试图获得某种形式的帮助。”

伊甸园秘闻 (Eden Confidential)

Adams 离开科茨沃尔德以便妻子就读大学

当披露 Oasis 乐队明星 Liam Gallagher 以 $4 million（无需抵押贷款）买下 Tony Adams 在科茨沃尔德的住宅时，人们对其为何决定出售房产感到困惑。

Adams, 59, 与他的妻子、威士忌继承人 Poppy Teacher 在 2002 年买下了这座拥有八个卧室的房屋——该房产位于格洛斯特郡赛伦塞斯特附近，占地五英亩，配有游泳池、网球场、马厩和一座两居室小屋。

他现在透露了出售的原因——Poppy 将在 52 岁时重返大学。“这对我们来说是一个新时代，”他在威斯敏斯特国家自由俱乐部举行的《The Oldie》杂志午宴上告诉我，当时他正在宣传他的新书《1996：关于改变我生命的那一年的反思》(1996: Reflections On The Year That Changed My Life)。

“我们卖掉了房子，正返回伦敦。我的妻子要回学校读书了。”

与 Adams 合影的 Poppy 表示：“我告诉 Tony 我想研究近代早期历史，他说，‘这怎么变现？’ 我说，‘不能变现！’ 但我想他很自豪。他告诉每个人我在读博士，但其实是硕士。”

作为前阿森纳后卫，Adams 恰如其分地表示：“在北伦敦寻找新家期间，我们目前在租房。我们不会回到切尔西地区，那里全是蓝军 (the Blues)。”

在 Adams 从酗酒中康复后，Poppy 于 2004 年成为了这位前《舞者》 contestants 的第二任妻子。他们有三个孩子，而他与第一任妻子 Jane Shea 还有三个孩子。

“我已经抚养孩子长大了，但现在我需要重新运用我的大脑，”Poppy 说。“Tony 和我想过伦敦生活，做一些像逛画廊之类的事情。”

她捕捉到了贪婪与奢侈、不安全感与脆弱感，以及 Sarah Ferguson 性格的另一个标志——被我的同事 Christopher Stevens 总结为“除了自己之外对任何人都漠不关心”——而她自己并没有这些特质。

事实上，在《The Lady》（ITV 拍摄的关于 Fergie 前助手、杀人犯 Jane Andrews 的剧集）中饰演 Fergie 之后，Natalie Dormer, 44, 将她的酬金捐给了慈善机构。因此，我很高兴看到这位《权力的游戏》之星在其他地方获得了丰厚的回报。

最新账目显示，她在 2025 年通过 Pangur 获得了 £400,000 的利润，这是她支付收入的两家公司之一，使其去年 11 月的底线利润提升至 £1.7 million。

适合你！菲比终于身着传统礼服完婚

夫妇：菲比与利奥波德。右图为她身着礼服的样子

当蒙巴顿继承人菲比·克纳奇布尔（Phoebe Knatchbull）去年与 32 岁的银行家利奥波德·格洛弗（Leopold Glover）结婚时，新郎并不是唯一一个穿西装的人。

菲比，30 岁，是第一代缅甸蒙巴顿伯爵的曾孙女，在西伦敦切尔西举行的婚礼上，她穿着由她的继姐、萨维尔街设计师戴西·克纳奇布尔（Daisy Knatchbull）设计的燕尾服礼服。

但在上周末于葡萄牙举行的第二次更奢华的仪式上，她穿着一件传统的婚纱。戴西说，菲比现在进入了她的“格洛弗夫人时代”。

SIR 伦尼·亨利（Lenny Henry）很乐意接受爵位，但在温莎城堡举行的授勋仪式似乎是一个挑战。“我被伊丽莎白女王授勋了，”他上周末在萨福克郡南沃尔德附近的 Latitude 节喜剧帐篷里说道。“这是一个巨大的荣誉……尽管有点触发性。一个穿着体面的英国人用剑向我走来——在祖先层面上触发了我的反应。”

帮手：乔治亚与母亲杰里·霍尔

其他业务，Bleach London，”乔治亚说。

该公司的产品包括 50ml 的 Golden Hour 面部护理油，售价 £58，以及 50ml 的 Super Balm 皮肤拯救霜，售价 £50。34 岁的乔治亚与她的男友、26 岁的德克萨斯滑板手坎布里安·塞德利克（Cambryan Sedlick）育有一个 21 个月大的儿子迪安（Dean），她补充道：“建立 May Botanicals 是我一生中最有成就感的经历之一。”

麦根在厨艺节目中自食其言了吗？

萨塞克斯公爵夫人作为评委客串出演《澳大利亚名厨》（Master-Chef Australia），可能让她的某些崇拜者感到相当困惑。

她在节目中宣称：“我在加利福尼亚长大，所以正如你们所知，我们拥有极佳的农产品，所以你从小就会开始热爱‘从农场到餐桌’的饮食方式。”

在谈到她的母亲多里亚·拉格兰（Doria Ragland）时，她补充道：“我妈妈是个出色的厨师，我从小就看了很多烹饪节目。”

然而，这些评论与她去年在 Netflix 系列剧《With Love, Meghan》中发表的一些言论口味截然不同。

“我那时是个‘钥匙儿童’（指父母不在家，自行开门进入家中的孩子），”公爵夫人当时说。“我从小吃了很多快餐，还有很多电视托盘晚餐。”

“感觉那是不同的时代，但那时候吃微波炉加热的儿童餐是非常正常的。”

这位前女演员继续说道：“我以前经常吃 Pollo Loco, Taco Bell……还有 Jack In The Box，因为我妈妈很喜欢他们的塔可。”

争执与化妆……

《布里奇特·琼斯》明星萨莉·菲利普斯（Sally Phillips）承认，在 56 岁时，她在被一名美容师身材羞辱后不得不承认失败。

她解释道：“最近一位化妆师对我说：‘我要帮你上粉’。我说：‘在我这个年纪，你现在还要上粉吗？’她说：‘你不能在开裂的墙上刷光面漆。’所以，就上粉吧。”

为了在中年财务崩溃（MELT DOWN）中生存，你现在必须采取的步骤

对于某个年龄段的中产阶级女性来说，裁员、离婚和疾病是可能摧毁此前舒适生活的三个财务“鱼雷”。

当支撑我们生活的看似稳固的基础被撕裂时，情感和财务上的后果将是深远的。

无论是男性还是女性，没有人能对冲击免疫。但女性在反弹过程中面临着特殊的挑战。

人工智能（AI）进入职场，引发了人们深切的担忧：女性辛苦争取来的平等机会正眼睁睁地被推土机铲除。

根据 Google 最近的研究，55 岁以上的女性在职业发展中正被年轻的男性技术主管超越。即使是最精通技术的人，也可能会发现自己的简历被那些完全不在意数十年成就的性别歧视机器人扔进了数字垃圾桶。

这就是为什么上周《每日邮报》一篇由五十多岁的前时尚编辑 Stacey Duguid 撰写的文章，能引起她同龄群体的如此强烈共鸣。

Stacey 在离婚请假后的求职困境，使她陷入了令人心惊胆战的下滑，薪水从六位数跌到了就业中心（JobCentre）。

无论我们的职业多么令人羡慕，我们中没有人是金刚不坏之身——但这不必演变成一场全面的中年财务崩溃。像 Stacey 那样的坠落是每个中产阶级女性最可怕的噩梦，我不会假装自己拥有一套神奇的答案。

然而，我自己也度过过潜在的财务危机，包括我丈夫被诊断出癌症，以及最近我从全职行政工作转而创业。

基于我的经验和 30 年的财务写作，我想传达的信息是：女性获得的财务控制力和自信越多，在生活中幸存于灾难甚至变得更强大的机会就越大。

这不仅仅是一篇女性主义宣言。我们越有财务韧性，就越能更好地为家庭撑起一片天。

在 1990 年代我父亲被裁员时，我母亲作为教师的收入维持了家庭的运转。同样，当我的丈夫因癌症卧床时，我很感激自己能够充当养家糊口的人。我与三位女性

图片：ARHUR PIZINOX 财务专家——以及一位男性专家——探讨了如何战胜中年财务崩溃。

知识就是力量

“女性增强韧性的最佳方式之一就是积极参与管理自己的财务，”皇家伦敦 (Royal London) 的税务和养老金专家克莱尔·莫法特 (Clare Moffat) 说道。

换句话说，如果你有伴侣，不要把财务全部交给他们。理想情况下，应就金钱进行公开、定期的沟通，并了解彼此的储蓄、投资和债务情况。

“财务独立并不是意味着必须独立管理所有事情。它是指拥有足够的知识和信心，这样在情况发生变化时，你不会处于不知情的被动局面，”莫法特补充道。“采取决定性的行动有助于保护你的财务未来。”

控制你的支出

定期检查支出以识别浪费且不必要的开销是一个良好的习惯。

为什么你还在为一个已经好几年没用过的订阅服务付费？查看比较网站，看看是否可以削减账单。Money Supermarket 母公司的老板上周告诉我，他的客户去年通过使用该网站总共节省了约 £3 billion。

我们几乎所有人都可以削减家庭账单。这笔钱可以为你而工作，为未来建立财务实力。

安全第一的思考

女孩最好的朋友不是钻石，而是应急基金。

财务顾问建议预留六个月到一年的支出。这听起来很多——但即使是少量的定期积累，随着时间的推移也会增加。

究竟多少才算足够？Thorntons Wealth 的财务顾问丽莎·多尔格 (Lisa Dolg) 表示：“这取决于你的财富状况，但对于许多人来说，£20,000 是一个比较舒适的金额。这可以覆盖更换一台新锅炉、支付汽车押金等等。”

积累财富

拥有一个可以快速动用的现金紧急基金至关重要。然而，存款账户的问题在于，

它们有一个糟糕的习惯，即因为通货膨胀而贬值。因此，积累长期财富的最佳方式是投资股票和份额。

通过每月 $25 起的小额定期投资即可实现。通过购买投资信托等持有系列股票和其他资产的基金来分散风险。如果你使用个人储蓄账户 (Isa)，则是免税的。

“研究表明，女性实际上比男性更好的投资者，”Continuum 的特许财务规划师 Richard Watkins 说道。“她们交易次数较少，在决策中抛弃了自我意识和情绪，并进行长期规划。”

“这导致了每年大约 0.8pc 的更好表现，这听起来可能不多，但在 20 年或更长时间里会转化为显著的超额收益。”

如果你在中年开始，你甚至可能成为一名 Isa 百万富翁。

“以现在 77, 岁的 Jane Barr 为灵感，她在离婚后于 50 多岁时退休。她通过从微薄的薪水中定期投资，在她的 Isas 中积累了价值略高于 £3 的投资组合，正如她向我的同事 Jeff Prestidge 解释的那样：dailymail.co.uk/isa-williams。”

优先考虑养老金

绝不要忽视你的养老金。对于那个将从当前危机中走出来的、精彩的“未来的你”来说，这至关重要。

由于普遍工资较低以及为了照顾孩子而中断职业，女性退休时的储蓄通常比男性少 54pc 左右。

因此，只要能做到，请尽可能多地向养老金计划缴纳资金。

如果你为雇主工作，你将从他们为你计划提供的免费支付中受益，同时在最高税率档位上享受缴款的税收减免。

“在整个职业生涯中将养老金储蓄作为优先事项，并有信心就薪资和晋升进行谈判，可以显著改善晚年的财务安全，”Moffat 说道。

在离婚中，养老金经常被忽视，尽管它们通常是仅次于家庭住宅的最大资产。

结果是，离婚女性在退休时拥有的私人养老金财富比离婚男性少 61pc 左右。不要让自己陷入这种情况。

了解你的权利，并确保获得你应得的部分。处理离婚中的养老金有三个主要选项。你可以基于彻底分割原则进行分享，一方可以预留部分收入在退休后支付，或者你可以用其他资产抵消其价值。

如果你被裁员且不需要使用全部结算金，将其中一部分存入养老金可能是合理的，特别是当你接近可以提取养老金的年龄时。

你每年最多可以将 £60,000 或年收入的 £90（以较低者为准）存入养老金。这

我的建议——基于 30 年的金钱写作经验——是：你获得的财务信心越多，你越能更好地在生活的灾难中生存

将增加你的退休收入并节省税收。你可能还可以使用过去三个纳税年度中任何未使用的额度。“将部分裁员补偿金存入养老金可以是一个具有税收效率的选择，”Moffat 补充道。

如果你年满 55 岁或以上，你可以开始提取私人养老金，但请记住，这意味着后续资金池中的金额会减少。

投资你自己

你能做的最好的投资就是投资你自己。

最新的技能对于中年女性至关重要。女性通常担任的中级行政和服务角色正受到 AI 的特别威胁。

了解你有多优秀的人类，比一个性别歧视的代理人更有可能帮你找到工作。

自主创业是另一条途径。我现在就像个拼命三郎一样工作，因为我在经营自己的事业——担任评论员、顾问和基金会董事——但我热爱做自己的老板。

保持冷静 —— 不要恐慌

遭受创伤后的即刻时期并不是做出重大财务决定（如出售房产）的理想时机。

请等待情绪平静下来，并考虑咨询专业的财务顾问。

“我经常与中年经历离婚的女性合作，她们大多来自长期的婚姻，不习惯处理财务问题，”Piercefield Oliver 的财务专家 Louise Oliver 说道。

“她们将我视为专家寻求帮助，且因为我是一名女性财务规划师，她们通常会感到更安全。”

Oliver 表示，目前仅有 16% 的顾问是女性，她补充道：“同样的情绪和原则也适用于裁员情况。”

Watkins 建议保持客观视角。他说，在大多数情况下，女性可以在不发生灾难的情况下应对中年冲击。

“在我的经验中，专业女性之间出现所谓的‘金钱崩溃’实际上相当罕见，”他说。

“今天的女性可以赚得更多，继承的财产可能也比她们的母亲多。根据我的经验，专业女性表达能力强，且完全能够处理财务事务。”

中年时期遭遇离婚、裁员或两者兼有，可能会让人觉得像是世界末日。

但 Doig 说：“不必如此。我正处于第二次离婚中，而且这次其实很幸福。”

你可以从政府支持的 Pension Wise（见 money help@gov.uk）等组织获取免费信息，但无法获得建议或推荐。

为了获得适合你个人情况的个体建议，你需要一名受金融行为监管局（Financial Conduct Authority）监管的合格顾问。

你可以在 unbiased.co.uk 或 vouchedfor.co.uk 等网站上寻找顾问，这些网站显示了你所在地区或符合你需求的公司的详细信息。

与财务顾问的初次会面通常持续一小时左右，且通常是免费的。

这是一个非常有用的资源，但请记住，在讨论可能影响你余生决定的事情时，一小时时间并不长。

对你来说还不算太晚

在理想的情况下，女性应该逐渐建立自己的财务实力，这样当创伤袭来时，她们能够以充足的准备来应对。

即便情况并非如此，中年时期反弹也还不算太晚。

“财务韧性不是一夜之间建立的，但今天采取的一小步可以让应对明天生活向你投掷的任何挑战变得容易得多，”Moffat 说道。

“40 或 50 岁时的挫折并不意味着你无法重建。”

5 个生存与繁荣的技巧

盘点现状：对债务、资产和支出形成一个清晰、客观的了解。短暂的喘息比恐慌的举动能带来更好的结果。

考虑独立建议：剧烈的情绪会导致糟糕的决定。朋友和家人可能不够客观。专业的顾问可能是答案。

自信：来自金融行为监管局（Financial Conduct Authority）的“财务生活”调查等机构的研究反复发现，女性报告的财务自信心低于男性，即使她们的基础知识相当。这可能导致过度恐惧和谨慎。请支持你自己。

出租房间：出租房间计划（Rent a Room scheme）允许单主业主在主住所中出租一间空房，每年可获得最高 £7,500 的免税收入。

将爱好变现：一位好朋友在 60 多岁时通过开设海玻璃首饰制作工作坊，开始将她的爱好转化为收入。烘焙、缝纫、辅导、摄影和写作都可能是增加收入的方式。

随着汽油成本飙升以及每月都有新车型推出以满足各类驾驶员的需求，电动汽车的销售正全面升温。目前，英国道路上的电动汽车（EV）已超过 2.1 million 辆。买家们被 160 多个新电动车型所吸引，这些车型拥有日益增强的续航能力——平均续航里程已从 2024 年的 235 英里跃升至如今的 300 英里——且价格低至 £11,990。

政府的电动汽车补贴计划为购车者提供最高 £3,750 的新可持续电动汽车折扣，这已帮助超过 140,000 名驾驶员在购买新车时节省了数千英镑。

但随着今年将有超过 50 款新车型在英国推出或上市，很难选择一款完全符合您需求的车型。我试驾了 80 多款最热门的电动汽车，行驶了数千英里以进行对比。以下是七款表现出色的新电动汽车，涵盖了从最实惠到最具向往的车型，以及一款能让房车旅行者心花怒放的车型。

家庭首选 现代 Kona Electric：£33,500 起

现代 Kona EV 于 2018 年进入英国市场，使其成为市场上首批可负担的电动汽车之一。

如今的 Kona Electric（名称已变更）是一款更现代、更先进的车型。但过去十年让这款车如此成功的所有要素依然存在——而且它非常适合家庭使用。

这款小型 SUV 轻松容纳五人，后排灵活的基准座椅是一项巧妙的设计，让第二排乘客能够享受更多空间。它还拥有一个实用的 466 升后备箱和 27 升前备箱。车内充满科技感——包括一个 24.6 英寸的全景显示屏——并采用了可持续的高级内饰。在驾驶性能方面，它是一款平顺、舒适、易于操控的电动汽车，每个人都会喜欢。它的效率也非常高，这有助于实现其 319 英里的续航里程。

最佳七座车 起亚 EV9：£66,645

韩国制造商起亚的 EV9 是市场上最大的车型之一，长度超过五米。对于大家庭来说，它就是终极的电动“特多箱”（Tardis）。

我曾让七名成年人乘坐 EV9 进行了一次约 200 英里的往返行程，所有人的评价都非常积极。唯一不开心的是前排乘客，因为他不喜欢坐在他身后的朋友能够控制他的座椅。

起亚在 EV9 的内部不仅实现了豪华感，还兼顾了可持续性：头枕由植物纤维制成，塑料由玉米提取物、甘蔗和锯末制成，而车舱则由海洋垃圾打造。车内存储空间充足——拥有巨大的门边储物格和凹槽，以及一个 828 升的后备箱（三排座椅折叠时）。

其最高 349 英里的续航里程，以及 15 分钟内可充电 154 英里的超快充功能，使其成为长途旅行的理想之选。EV9 满足了家庭的所有需求，同时在庞大、方正且充满未来感的外观下显得十分酷炫。

最佳预算之选 本田 Super-N：£18,995

右图的 Super-N 是本田在 2020 年的 Honda-e 之后第二次尝试打造复古风电动车。之前的 Honda-e 虽然凭借可爱的未来主义外观和高科技内饰领先于时代，但未能赢得买家的热捧。

这款车型延续了同样可爱外形的基因和有趣的发明，但价格比 £26,160 的 Honda-e 便宜得多。

在上个月的发布会上，很明显这款微型电动车——它是市场上最小的车款之一，长度不足 3.6m，宽度 1.57m，高度 1.6m——将立即走红。它采用了灵感来自 kei car（轻型车，日本销售的最小合法上路车型）的设计，充满个性。

我很高兴地确认 Super-N 开起来是一部充满欢乐的机器。按下紫色的“boost”按钮，功率将从 47kW 提升至 70kW，并将 0 到 62mph 的加速时间从 14.5 缩短至 10 秒

你知道吗？法律与通用（Legal & General）表示，离婚后为了照顾职责而缩短工作时间的女性可能性是男性的两倍

我测试过 80 多辆电动汽车。这里是适合各种驾驶者的最佳选择

[[IMG_3B95F9]]

FREDA LEWIS-STEMPEL 挑选了她的心头好 —— 无论您是想要一辆宽敞的家庭用车、廉价的代步车，还是具有运动气息的车型...

秒。七速变速换挡让您能感受到每个虚拟档位的转速，而主动声音控制和紫色灯光模拟则让那些渴望成为赛车手的驾驶者感到兴奋。这款电动汽车拥有四个座位和 199 英里的城市续航里程，是廉价的轮上乐趣。

续航里程最长的一款

Volvo EX60: £64,860

当 8 月开始交付时，Volvo EX60 将正式成为英国市场上续航里程最长的电动汽车。如果您购买

配备 117kWh 电池的 P12 AWD 版本，该车单次充电可行驶 503 英里，以三英里的微弱优势击败了竞争对手 BMW iX3。这几乎相当于单次充电即可从伦敦行驶到本尼维斯山。

EX60 的充电功率最高可达 370kW，这意味着您仅需 10 分钟即可增加 200 多英里的续航里程。从 10% 充电至 80% 大约需要 15 到 18 分钟。

追求舒适的人将喜爱 EX60 的内饰：北欧冷淡风的可持续材料，如羊毛混纺和 Nordico 饰面，营造出高雅且宁静的氛围。拥有 523 升的后备箱空间（如果算上地板下隔层则可增加至 634 升），EX60 为家庭提供了充足的空间。

适合拖挂房车的一款

BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport Pro Touring: £83,855

去年，BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport Pro Touring 在房车和露营车俱乐部（Caravan and Motorhome Club）的年度最佳拖车奖中赢得了最佳电动拖车类别。评委称其为“全方位的卓越表现”，i5 eDrive40 M Sport Pro Touring 表明电动汽车也可以是出色的拖车。

事实上，电动汽车非常适合拖车，因为它们的电力驱动系统可提供瞬时扭矩，低重心使其更加稳定，且其能量回收制动有助于在不给刹车带来过度磨损的情况下减缓重载速度。

i5 同时也是一辆豪华旅行车，对于五口之家来说空间宽敞，拥有一个 570 升的后备箱（含地板下存储空间），并搭载了大量科技和高端配置，包括加热绗缝 Veganza 座椅、一个内置视频流媒体和游戏的巨大 BMW 弧形显示屏，以及 Bowers & Wilkins 环绕声系统。

运动型一款

MG Cyberster: £55,245

Cyberster（主图）是 MG 系列中的旗舰车型，将品牌全盛时期的敞篷跑车带给了如今的电动车买家。

如果您拥有多辆车的车库，Cyberster 是一辆理想的电动车 —— 它是作为第二或第三辆车，而不是您的唯一车辆。我也不能说它的驾驶体验完美，因为它有时会显得有些飘。

在阳光明媚的温暖日子里打开顶篷，Cyberster 会让您以一种真正感性的方式享受电动驾驶。这种“飘”的感觉仅在速度超过 75mph 时才会出现，但这反而增加了乐趣感。

这款双座电动车型充满了怀旧感且时尚。如果您拥有 55,000 英镑以上的预算且热爱驾驶，那么请购买英国首款纯电动敞篷跑车 —— 并选择英伦白配红色顶篷。

志向之选

Denza Z：£172,900

如果金钱不是问题，很多人都会有一辆梦想之车。也许是兰博基尼 Revuelto 或法拉利 849 Testarossa。但如果你追求的是一款电动超级跑车呢？那么，Denza Z 可能是答案。

你可能会对中国电动汽车或中国超级跑车不屑一顾，但 Denza（比亚迪旗下专注于科技的豪华子品牌）正在做一些其他制造商没有在做的事情。它为驾驶者提供了一款性能惊人的电动汽车，而其价格仅为购买 Revuelto 或 Testarossa 所需费用的一半。

Denza Z 的 Racing 版本从 0 加速到 62英里/小时仅需 1.96 秒。最高时速？217英里/小时。这比法拉利快，且与兰博基尼相当。它仅比时速超过 230英里/小时的 F1 赛车慢一点。

我在古德伍德赛车场（Goodwood Motor Circuit）试驾了这款车，可以确认这东西就像一枚导弹。得益于比亚迪的闪充技术（Flash Charging），它仅需五分钟即可充电，单次充电续航里程为 236 英里（Coupe 版本为 255 英里）。

赛道版 Racing 版本的售价为 £172,900, 且 Coupe (£142,900) 和 Spider (£159,900) 价格更低，且 0 到 62英里/小时的加速时间仍为 2.3 秒，最高时速为 186英里/小时。

如何讨价还价

作者：Toby Walne

讨价还价让大多数人感到尴尬。强硬地讨价还价或为了几英镑争执不下，感觉与英国人的矜持传统相悖。

因此，难怪我们中很少有人敢梦想在超市或商业街尝试协商折扣。

但如果一个大胆的请求能够大幅降低价格呢？

我们派记者 Toby Walne 前往赫特福德郡（Hertfordshire）的毕晓普斯托福德（Bishop's Stortford），看看在 Boots、Tesco、Marks & Spencer 和 Waterstones 等热门连锁店中是否可以通过讨价还价省钱。

首先，他咨询了专家，学习谈判的艺术。当他在店里运用这些技巧时，

他惊讶地发现自己最高可以节省 40% —— 并且他发现了商店在提供折扣方面鲜为人知的政策。以下是他的建议以及能为您省钱的隐藏砍价技巧。

TESCO

周一上午 10 点，这家位于毕晓普斯托福德边缘的超级市场已经挤满了顾客。我发现有两罐 17 Tesco Finest 希腊特级初榨橄榄油罐身上有小凹痕，于是询问店员 Mandy 是否可以给予价格折扣。

她说她必须询问经理。几分钟后，Mandy 拿着一台黄色的打折贴纸机回来了 —— 上面写着“原价 £7.00. 现价 £4.20”。

“怎么样？总比什么都没有强，”Mandy 说。

当我要求其他产品的折扣时，她说她无法让步，但引导我走向蔬菜水果区的一个角落。她补充道：“这些是有疙瘩、凹凸或淤伤的。这些东西绝对没有任何质量问题 —— 只是看起来有点不那么讨喜。”

五个苹果（其中一个有淤伤）的价格从 £2.13 降至 £1.06, 五个橙子（其中一个有软斑）的价格从 £1.50 降至 £1.02.

Mandy 和我一致认为，许多的“保质期”都是保姆国家（nanny state）的胡闹。但如果你发现一件商品的销售日期标注为当天或次日，如果还没有被贴上折扣标签，你很有机会协商折扣。在这种情况下，找到一名店员并指出来。

Mandy 带我走到一堆 six dozen 盘 1kg 装草莓面前，价格从 £4 降至 £2.72 —— 保质期贴纸显示的正是当天的日期。

省钱技巧： 针对不完美商品的谈判可立即获得 40% 的折扣。不讨喜的水果和临期产品可带来高达 50% 的节省。

MARKS & SPENCER

正午时分，楼下的食品广场热闹非凡，但楼上的服装区却安静得像幽灵一样——只有我和一个心存怀疑的店员，他正盯着我研究衣服是否带有瑕疵。

店员 Eva 说：“对于有瑕疵的商品，我们可以提供 10% 的折扣——也许有人留下了一些很容易就能清理掉的污迹。但我没发现任何缺陷。”

Money Saving Expert 的 Jenny Keefe 表示：“寻找最微小的凹痕或划痕——或者衣服上的污渍。这会让它们更难出售。”

在我礼貌地询问是否还有其他获得更好价格的方法后，Eva 的经理 Martin 介入并指向一个慈善回收箱。他说，如果我有旧的 M&S 衣服，可以将它们带来，换取一张 £5 的折扣券用于购买新商品。这是一个绝佳的主意。

我计划在衣柜深处搜寻我不再穿着的旧 M&S 物品。而且，如果我能在慈善商店以低于 £5 的价格买到 M&S 物品，我可能会赶紧抢购，然后用来兑换折扣。

省钱技巧： 询问折扣方案——也许有你没想到的减价方法。

BOOTS

当我漫步在一家大型 Boots 门店的货架间时，店员 Karys 在除臭剂区域截住了我，当时我正在欣赏诸如“黑香草”、“棉花糖烟雾”和“樱桃烈酒”等香味。

这是一个友好的破冰方式，可以开始讨价还价。我问 Karys 其中一款除臭剂是否有优惠空间。她说：“Lynx 除臭剂可以享受三分之一的折扣，而且我们会匹配你的购买，向慈善食品银行捐赠同款除臭剂，分发给有需要的人。但我们不议价。”

相反，Karys 引导我走向一个看起来很惨的货架，上面摆放着停产的半价商品。

我以为在 1970 年代就停止销售的 Yardley 爽身粉，价格已从 £12 降至 £6，而一台 £100 的电子血压计现在仅需 £56。

我指向入口处一张“60 岁以上奖励购物日”的海报，最高可享 20% 折扣。我半开玩笑地问是否可以申请，而那位年轻店员的回答让我意识到笑话在自己身上，因为她说她看不出为什么不行（我还没到 60 岁）。

我需要办理一张 Boots Advantage 会员卡。这只需要我提供基本的个人详情，而且我看不到有什么能阻止我夸大自己年龄的。

我不可能那样做，但带上一位愿意使用其 Boots 卡的年长亲属可以为你省钱。

省钱技巧： 闲聊可能会有回报——在这种情况下，它让我逛到了之前没发现的、无人问津的半价特惠区。如果你家里有人符合折扣条件，请他们帮地购物可能是值得的。

H&M

在这家服装店，我注意到有些商品的店内价格比线上价格高。

我发现一件在店内售价 £94.99 的亚麻夹克，在网上打 55% 折后仅售 £38，我将这一发现告知了部门经理 Kasea。

“抱歉。我们一年前就停止了价格匹配——但您仍然非常欢迎在线订购，稍后来取，”她说。

她说，如果衣服有瑕疵，可能会降低 15% 的价格——不过，目光敏锐的摄像头阻止了那些不诚实的购物者弄脏衣服。

这位出生于波兰的经理承认，对待粗鲁的顾客会非常简短，但礼貌友好的态度能产生很大作用。我们聊到了她 11 岁的儿子希望成为一名建筑师。态度缓和后，Kasea 说：“我们明天将举行闪购活动——指定商品 20% 折扣。到时候再来，看看我们能怎么帮你。”

古董商兼讨价还价专家 Gordon Kennedy 说：“礼貌友好不需要花钱——而且如果他们喜欢你，会有助于你获得好交易。粗鲁且强势将让你毫无收获。”

省钱技巧： 礼貌且有风度地对待员工可能会带来回报。

WATERSTONES

这家书店通过在店面最前方摆放价格低廉的畅销书来吸引顾客——购买理查德·奥斯曼（Richard Osman，《The Impossible Fortune》，£9.99）和丹·布朗（Dan Brown，《The Secret Of Secrets》，£9.99）等知名作者的作品，可享受“买一本另一本半价”的优惠。

但登录 Waterstones 网站后，我发现使用代码“Summer28”可以享受即将出版的畅销书 25% 的折扣——例如奥斯曼的《We Chase Shadows》——而店内则没有此优惠。

快速的在线搜索得到了回报。店员 Ben 表示：“我们可以匹配 Waterstones 网站上的书籍价格——所以如果您发现价格更便宜，只需向我出示即可，我很乐意为您收取较低的价格。”Ben 承认我可能会获得

THE HIGHEST

大多数人不敢在 Boots、M&S 或 Tesco 要求折扣，但 TOBY WALNE 凭借甜言蜜语地省下了 40%。这里是他为你节省分毫……以及化解尴尬的小贴士

M&S：捐赠旧衣可减 £5

如果书页有折痕或轻微污迹，价格可降低 15%，但由于公司政策，他无法对我手中这本 Seamus Heaney 著的、崭新的《贝奥武夫》降低 £12.99 的售价。

在我身边站着一个戴圆眼镜的小金发孩子，看起来非常像 Milky Bar 的广告少年。我问 Ben：“如果他开始把口袋里的 1 英镑硬币一枚枚数到柜台上，结果只有 £10 怎么办？你会接受吗？这可能会开启他一生对诗歌的热爱？”Ben 听到这个建议禁不住微笑——我认为他很可能会接受。

省钱贴士：始终值得检查商店的网站，看看他们是否在网上以更便宜的价格销售你想要的商品，因为店内可能会进行价格匹配。

WAITROSE

我很快意识到，这家高端商店是最难攻克的。Waitrose 的理货员 Dan 认为，在结账处讨价还价是傻瓜的行为，他解释说，省钱的行内技巧在货架之间。

这位伦敦政治经济学院的毕业生认为，我试图通过讨价还价来降低价格是在浪费时间，而应该在水果和蔬菜区徘徊。

现在，我可以花 £1.46 买到 £1.90 的混合炒菜，花 £1.42 买到 £1.80 的火箭沙拉。Dan 说：“我大约在下午 4 点开始给第二天过期的食品贴上‘太好而不能浪费’的标签，折扣约为 20%。大约 6 点会贴上第二张标签——对于当天过期的商品，你可以半价购买。”那么损坏的包装和凹陷的罐头呢？主管 Vina 露出苦笑。她说：“我们过去在这个问题上出过问题，所以不再提供折扣。以前大约是 10%。”省钱贴士：向员工询问通常在什么时候打折——这最高能为你省下 50%。

PROCOOK

在 ProCook 连锁店中，我询问经理 David 关于减价的问题。他说他不能提供折扣，但如果我购买锅具花费超过 £100，他们可能会赠送一个价值 £9 的刮铲。如果我进一步消费超过 £200，我可能会获得财务折扣。

他补充道：“对于某些顾客，例如是护理人员或在 NHS 工作的蓝卡持有者，在结账时有 10% 的折扣。是否将此优惠扩展到其他人由经理决定。”

省钱贴士：如果你无法获得折扣，可能仍然可以获得赠品。询问针对特定群体（例如 NHS 工作人员、学生或 65 岁以上老人）的折扣可能是值得的。

行内技巧

■ 专家讨价还价者 Gordon Kennedy 表示，给对方带来笑容是一个很好的开始——而这需要保持礼貌和友好。

不需要过于谄媚，但良好的礼貌确实有帮助。他说，强硬或粗鲁的行为是行不通的——比如直接告诉对方你愿意支付的价格并将钱强行递给他们。

始终平等地对待每个人。这意味着不要轻视店员，而是将他们视为平等的人。

■ 把握时机。尝试在工作人员不忙且可以闲聊的安静时段购物。设身处地为他们考虑——他们需要谋生，但职责也是提供帮助。可能需要委婉地询问是否可以与老板沟通以获得折扣。

■ 谨慎措辞。古董商 Kennedy（同时也是 Money Mail Race To £10,000 的参赛者）建议：“与其要求折扣，不如尝试这样的短语：‘您还能提供其他优惠吗？’‘还有商量的空间吗？’或‘我很喜欢它——但它稍微超出了我的预算’。”

Kennedy 补充说，在讨价还价时，你可以用这句话来化解对方的防备：“我不想用一个侮辱性的出价来冒犯您”——然后将回应的主动权交给对方。

■ 降价是有可能的——即使是对于商业街（High Street）商店而言。对比网站 Money Supermarket 表示，协商出的平均折扣为 13.5pc。但你需要灵活应对——消费金额越高，获得折扣的可能性越大。也可以询问是否能提供额外的赠品作为另一种选择。

■ 做足功课。消费者组织 Which? 的零售编辑 Reena Sewraz 表示，在讨价还价之前，请先查看其他商店和互联网上的竞争情况。这样你就可以询问零售商是否愿意针对你在其他地方发现的更便宜的相同商品进行价格匹配（price match）。她补充道：“许多零售商参与价格匹配是为了削弱竞争对手的价格优势。”

通过我的抗通胀交易，增加高达 £375 的储蓄

储蓄者在上周有更多理由欢呼，因为官方数据显示，生活成本的持续上涨终于在放缓（至少暂时如此）。价格仍在上涨——但 6 月份的年增长率为 2.6pc，低于 5 月份的 2.8pc。这远低于 2022 年 10 月 11.1pc 的惊人高点。

根据利率监测机构 Moneyfacts 的数据，目前有 1,960 个储蓄账户的利率高于通货膨胀率。这是一个极好的

Sylvia Morris 储蓄增值专家

sy.morris@dailymail.co.uk

消息，因为这意味着我们的储蓄在这些账户中存放时，其价值将会增长。令我担心的是，市场上仍有约 600 个账户的利率低于通货膨胀率。活期账户（Easy-access accounts）最受欢迎——我们在其中的存款高达 £916 billion，而固定利率债券（fixed-rate bonds）为 £258 billion。储蓄者意识到，在物价无情上涨时，他们能够随时动用自己的储蓄。

一个新开的普通活期账户的平均利率为 2.55pc。在这个利率下，你的资金将无法保值，因为你赚取的利息不足以抵消生活成本的上涨。

更糟糕的是，英格兰银行的数据显示，平均利率仅为 1.6pc——但这包含了储蓄者持有多年的所有旧账户。

你可能就在其中一个账户里，并且遭受严重损失。在一个平均水平的账户中，£10,000 的存款将赚取 £160 的利息。但你实际上需要赚取 £260 才能跟上通货膨胀的速度。如果坚持使用大银行（像我们很多人那样）

或者一个利息极低的老账户，你的损失会进一步扩大。

使用 Halifax Everyday Saver 或 Instant Saver（一年后你通常会转入其一个较高利率的账户），£10,000 的存款仅能看到 £75 的利息。

其他大银行的性价比也极低。Lloyds 的 Easy Saver 对 £10,000 的存款支付 £75。即使你在账户中拥有 £100,000，它也仅支付 1pc。

Santander Everyday Account 对 £10,000 支付 £90 利息。NatWest Flexible Saver 和 Barclays Everyday Saver 为 £100，HSBC Flexible Saver 为 £105。

通过选择一个最高利率的账户，你每年最多可以增加 £375。

最高利率来自 Saga，为 4.5pc，且仅面向 50 岁以上人群。但请确保你在一年后再次转移资金，因为该利率在首 12 个月内包含 1.84 个百分点的奖金。

我在“星级推荐（star buys）”中不列出带有奖金的账户。

Charter Savings Bank 在线支付的利率为 4.21pc——即 £10,000 存款可获 £421。其他互联网账户也将为你提供远高于通胀的利率，且无奖金或取款限制，例如 Hampshire Trust Bank (4.18pc)、Family BS (4.15pc) 和 Hodge Bank (4.01pc)。

SYLVIA 的储蓄星级推荐

亲爱的萨莉 (Dear Sally)

我从在线货币兑换局 TravelFX 订购了 £1,000 用于我们的暑假。货币是通过英国皇家邮政 (Royal Mail) 特快专递发送的，该服务保证次日送达，可追踪包裹并在签收时需要签名。但我没有收到钱，联系 TravelFX 投诉但毫无进展。

P.K.，诺丁汉郡。TRAVELFX 使用英国皇家邮政特快专递服务发送其所有订单。当客户未收到货币时，它会启动一项针对英国皇家邮政保险的索赔，该保险是服务的一部分。如果索赔成功，客户的款项将被退还。

您的订单未在预期日期送达，TravelFX 告诉您“包裹似乎仍未在英国皇家邮政网络中投递”。其合同规定，在货币发出五个工作日后，它才会对丢失的订单提出索赔。

五个工作日过后，TravelFX 询问英国皇家邮政您的欧元去向。这家货币公司为造成的不便表示道歉，但警告称该过程可能需要最多 30 天，且在英国皇家邮政确认投递未到达之前不会退款。

《2015年消费者权益法》(Consumer Rights Act 2015) 规定，当投递出现问题时，零售商应通过迅速提供替代品或退款，或肯定在 30 天内解决所有问题。我试图与 TravelFX 澄清此事，但其客户服务部门不愿与我交谈，因为我不是其客户，尽管您已授权我代表您发言。

由于您是用借记卡购买的货币，您询问了 TravelFX 关于对该交易申请退单 (chargeback) 的问题。

TravelFX 指出其条款和条件中一段严厉的文字，试图劝阻您，但我认为您有权尝试。当我咨询 Money Mail 的消费者律师 Dean Dunham 时，他表示：“通常情况下，如果索赔在 120 天内提出，基于‘未收到货物’这一公认理由，退单索赔将会成功。”

然而，有两个注意事项：货币通常被编码为“准现金”(quasi-cash)，银行可能会对此表示抵制，声称他们不承保现金提取和转账；此外，如果特快专递追踪显示包裹已签收，索赔可能会失败，而如果显示丢失，则索赔理由充分。我的观点是，退单计划应涵盖 P.K.，因为根据《2015年消费者权益法》第 29 条，货物（包括货币）在到达客户之前由贸易商承担风险，因此兑换局应承担损失并追讨英国皇家邮政。

与此同时，由于英国皇家邮政显然未能投递而负有责任，我也要求其对您的困境作出回应。它同样不愿讨论您的投诉。我不得不等待您告知我英国皇家邮政针对 TravelFX 就您丢失货币所提出的索赔所作出的决定。

大约一周后，您通知我英国皇家邮政坚称您的包裹已被投递，并且

取消了合同，并为基本上不存在的服务支付了近 £90 的月费。现在它说我还必须支付 £500 的提前取消费。既然公司没有提供其应当提供的服务，合同肯定失效了，不是吗？

S.H.，格洛斯特郡。你解释说 Gigaclear 的工程师将新服务的路由器安装在了一楼的客房里，而之前它安装在楼梯下且运行良好。

Gigaclear 客服提出的所有改善服务的建议都没有效果，这就是为什么你决定回到 BT。

根据监管机构 Ofcom 的规定，客户在安装后有 14 天的冷静期，在此期间可以无违约金地取消服务。在你的情况中，这段时间已经过了。如果宽带速度在 30 天内未能达到供应商的承诺，客户也可以在没有违约金的情况下离开。

尽管你主张没有收到所支付的服务，但 Gigaclear 坚持要求你支付合同剩余的 £500，以及已经产生的 £87.70 的电话和宽带账单。

我觉得这不公平。经过我的干预，Gigaclear 撤回了要求。一名发言人表示：“对于 S.H. 遇到的问题，我们深表遗憾，我们的支持团队已尝试提供帮助。然而，我们理解她的沮丧，并已与其联系，告知在此次情况下，我们同意取消所有费用。”

我在 TravelFX 在线订购了 £1,000 的度假现金，但一直没有收到……

已签收，因此 TravelFX 的赔偿申请被拒绝。TravelFX 向您发送了一张从 Royal Mail 接收的照片，您承认那是您的房子，以及第二张在距离您正门一段距离处拍摄的照片，仅显示一只手拿着一些邮寄物。

这其中包含一个特快专递包裹，但姓名和地址不可见。对方告知您包裹已被签收，但您表示那不是您的签名。您转发了驾驶执照的副本，试图证明该签名并非出自您手。到此为止，您那边没有任何动静。当我询问您关于签名争议的结果时，您

没有回应。您也没有回复几封后续跟进邮件。该如何定论？如果我宽容地看待，也许家里发生了什么事分散了您的注意力。或者您已经厌倦了追讨 TravelFX —— 尽管 £1,000 是一笔不应轻易放弃的巨额损失？也许是我被耍了，结果快递最终还是送到了？或者 TravelFX 最终还是赔钱了？

无论事实如何，TravelFX 的表现并不光彩。我竭尽全力做到公正、礼貌且乐于助人。我希望对方也能如此，但时不时地，我会感到非常失望。

除此以外，任何在线订购货币并发现其未送达的人都不应

默默忍受。如果一家旅游货币公司无法证明现金已被收到，它就应当全额退款。如果公司不同意，客户应告知其银行，称该公司未履行《2015 年消费者权利法案》（Consumer Rights Act 2015）规定的义务，并要求发起退单（chargeback）。

我想今年夏天我将在传统的货币兑换点亲自购买货币。

1 月 15 日，我与 Gigaclear 签署了一份新的电话和宽带合同。据称它比我现有的 BT 套餐快得多，非常适合像我们这样乡村地区的位置。它在 3 月 14 日安装，但从未正常运行。我

在五月，Sky 为新客户开展了一项促销活动，承诺如果您切换宽带服务，将支付 £200 的信用额度用于抵扣您的离网费。我在 Sky 开了新账户，并发送了旧供应商的最终账单和我的银行对账单。但我仍然没有收到那 £200。我发起了一次投诉，但 Sky 第二天就将其关闭且未提供任何帮助。

M.P.，通过电子邮件。SKY 表示歉意，并称现已将 £200 的信用额度计入您的账户。

在十二月，我通过快递公司 Evri 寄送了一份价值 £500 的圣诞礼物，其中包含化妆品和玩具。我在邮局花费 £12.70 购买了递送标签。两天后，我收到一条短信说

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT（直击要点）

司机找不到地址。在二月份，Evri 告诉我包裹已于 12 月 30 日投递至“门前”。随后我又被告知包裹已“因损坏而被退回发件人”——但我从未收到该包裹。

EVRI 表示，投递地址缺少一行，这意味着无法投递包裹。它还警告说，你在电话中口头辱骂了其员工，但你对此予以否认。该公司已尝试再次联系你，但未收到回复。

我 2022 年为我母亲办理了一份 Giffgaff 网络运营商的月度电话合同，因为她需要一部手机来登录银行账户。她在 2024 年去世了，尽管向 Giffgaff 的丧亲处理团队发送了电子邮件，但仍无法注销该账户。我最终放弃了，但仍代表她收到每月 £6 的电话账单。

J.C., Derbyshire. GIFFGAFF 表示，该公司在今年一月收到了关闭账户的请求，并要求你验证身份以便办理。然而，由于未收到你的回复，因此无法关闭账户。该公司现在已再次与你联系。

Daily Mail, Wednesday, July 29, 2026

由于房东涨租，我们将在六周内搬出租来的公寓。一名中介已经带至少 15 名新租客进行了看房，人们每天晚上以及在周末进进出出，让我们感到很烦躁。我们可以告诉房东在搬走之前不能再进行看房吗？

姓名和地址已提供。 我完全理解你的沮丧，因为在你尝试打包搬家的同时，你的夜晚和周末被干扰了。

好消息是，法律比你想象的更坚定地站在你这一边。作为租客，你享有法律上所谓的“安静享有权”（covenant of quiet enjoyment）以及在整个租赁期间对物业的“独占使用权”（exclusive possession）。这意味着在租赁结束之日之前，该公寓在法律上是由你占用，而不是房东的，当然更不是中介的。两者都没有自动权利在他们随意的时候带领潜在租客穿过你的家。

许多租赁协议包含允许在最后几周看房的条款。但即便存在此类条款，房东和中介仍必须给你合理的通知。

这通常意味着至少提前 24 小时以书面形式告知任何看房安排。中介还必须在合理的时间安排访问。允许看房的条款并非在每个晚上和整个周末让陌生人穿过你的客厅的许可证。

那么你可以直接拒绝吗？如果你的协议中完全没有看房条款，那么是的，你完全有权

我的房东在我搬走之前安排了 15 场对我的公寓的看房。我可以拒绝让他们进来吗？

DEAN DUNHAM KC @deandunham

我们的消费者律师为您解答疑问

拒绝所有看房，直到您搬离。如果存在此类条款，您不能禁止他们进入，但您可以掌控安排。

给代理商和房东写信，礼貌但坚定。声明看房频率不合理且具有干扰性，并提出合理的限制。例如，每周一个看房时段，在您方便的日期和时间，且每次提前 24 小时通知。一封冷静、合理且设定边界的信件是您最有效的工具。

我将我的名贵手表寄给了一家位于伦敦 Hatton Garden 的公司进行维修。该公司称需要 12 周，但现在已经过了 20 周，我还没有收到回邮。当我打电话时，只能听到录音留言。我现在很担心，只想把手表拿回来，无论是否修好。我该怎么办——考虑到这种延迟，我是否仍应全额支付维修费？

T.H., Coventry. 无法就贵重财产联系到任何人确实令人深感不安。让我为您说明如何找回手表以及在支付问题上的立场。

当您将物品寄去维修时，该公司在法律上持有该物品，这被称为“寄托”（bailment）。这意味着他们有法律义务对其进行合理照顾并将其归还给您。同时，您有权在任何时间要求将其取回。

关于延迟，2015 年的《消费者权利法案》（Consumer Rights Act 2015）要求，在未约定约束性完成日期的情况下，服务必须在“合理时间”内完成。

即使对方曾报价 12 周，但延迟 20 周且没有联系、没有解释，显然构成了违约。在涉及账单时，这一失效情况至关重要。

您是否仍需支付费用？如果维修达到了合格标准，您通常需要支付商定的价格。然而，您可能能够针对延迟及其造成的困扰协商减价。如果维修尚未完成，您无需支付任何费用，并且可以坚持要求立即归还手表。

这是我的建议。以书面形式提出要求，通过电子邮件以及发送至公司注册地址的挂号信发出。您可以在 Companies House 网站上找到该地址。明确声明手表是您的财产，该公司已违约，且您要求在 14 天内将其归还。

如果对方继续保持沉默，这将成为小额索赔法院处理的事项——或者，如果您怀疑该公司已经消失，则可能成为警方处理的事项。此外，请检查您的房屋保险是否涵盖寄出维修的物品。请迅速且坚定地采取行动。

珍爱的财产

《修复店》(The Repair Shop)，晚上 8 点，BBC1

在本集重复播放的内容中，首先进入谷仓的是民谣音乐家 Vin Garbutt 的儿子，他带来了已故父亲的 mandriola（一种 12 弦曼陀林），交给 Julyan Wallis 进一步处理。接下来是一对从坦桑尼亚远道而来的编织椅，随后是一顶属于一位深受爱戴的丈夫兼父亲的飞行员帽子。最后，Geoffrey Harvey 开始修复一台巨大的美国复古弹珠机。

医院就诊

《急诊 24/7：分秒必争》(Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts)，晚上 8 点，Ch5

当 Benita 护士（如图）在 Barnsley 医院努力寻找床位时，Enid 本周第二次回到了急诊室。她呼吸困难，医生需要快速处理。我们还将遇到 Jane，她是在该医院服务了 25 年的资深志愿者，她陪同她的母亲 Mary 就诊，Mary 在一次跌倒后出现了严重的腰痛。

今日电视精选

《非凡扩建》(EXTRAORDINARY EXTENSIONS)，晚上 8 点，CH4 频道

第三季节目继续跟随说唱歌手兼房地产专家 Tine Tempah，见证那些梦想远大且敢于冒险的英国人如何为现有房屋增加面积并提升奢华感。这就像是《宏伟设计》(Grand Designs)，但无需从一片空地开始。在西伦敦，一对夫妇将他们的爱德华时代排屋进行了曲线形装饰艺术风格 (Art Deco) 的改造，将其打造为一座“前卫的历史颂歌”。从外面看你可能意识不到，但在内部，这种蜕变甚至会让伟大的盖茨比本人都感到惊艳。第二个项目在诺福克郡，结构工程师 James 和 Jenny（如图与 Tempah 共同出现）正在扩建他们那座 275 年历史的、像巧克力盒一样精致的小屋，屋内地板倾斜，且充满了大量虽然不实用但极具原始特色的细节。他们的家庭需要更多空间，但他们非常担心会破坏原有的魅力——如果真的破坏了，那简直是犯罪。幸运的是，他们从室外的诺福克大沼泽地 (Norfolk Broads) 中汲取灵感，创造出了一个既具有醒目现代感又完全相得益彰的扩建部分。这是 Tine 第一组项目的重大胜利。

认识 Gallop 博士：一位热衷于“夏洛克式”推理的现代法医科学家

真实犯罪案件确实很吸引人。但对于侦探小说黄金时代的粉丝来说，它可能显得有些平淡。那些古怪的天才、记忆力与想象力的壮举，以及纯粹的“夏洛克式”推理都去哪了？

认识一下 Angela Gallop 博士。她是一位经典模版式的演绎法大师，直到她精心涂抹的指甲尖——其颜色与她的衣服严丝合缝。她同时也是一位国际知名的法医科学家，曾仔细审视近期犯罪史上一些最臭名昭著的谋杀案。

《冷案法医：上帝银行家的之死》（Cold Case Forensics: The Death Of God's Banker）是一系列丛书的第一本，Gallop 博士在书中重建了她的调查过程，引导我们走过分析的每一步，并解释那些帮助她在大脑中生动还原每起谋杀案如何实施的线索。这就像是在听波洛的思考过程，在他将嫌疑人聚集在客厅揭露凶手之前。为了证明 1982 年在伦敦黑修士桥（Blackfriars Bridge）下方脚手架上被发现被吊死的意大利银行家 Roberto Calvi 并非自杀（尽管伦敦警察厅最初认为是自杀），Gallop 博士在自己的后花园里重建了一个临时绞刑架。

然后，她说服了一位名叫 Phil 的年轻同事，穿着西装和皮质办公鞋在杆子上攀爬，口袋里装满石头增加重量，直到他到达发现死者悬挂的最远横梁处。

Phil 相当配合，但在他攀附在 10 英尺高的生锈金属杆上时，他一定想到了：做这种不体面的体力活的总是 Lewis 警长，而绝不会是 Morse 督察。Gallop 博士拿过 Phil 的鞋子，将其浸在河水中数小时，然后用显微镜检查鞋底，证明油漆片和锈迹已不可磨灭地嵌入其中。而死者自己的鞋上没有此类痕迹——因此他不可能在杆子上攀爬。

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

昨晚电视回顾 《冷案法医：上帝银行家的之死》(ITV) ★★★★☆

他在泰晤士河中被吊起，没入腰部时停止了呼吸。通过研究潮汐表（这是一个非常典型的福尔摩斯式手法），她推断出他并不是通过沿着岸边行走到达脚手架的。正如那位伟大的侦探曾说过的那样，排除掉不可能，那么剩下的即使再不可思议，也一定是真相。这位银行家并非爬上去死掉的。他也没有走过去。而且，有人把他放在了那里。这个逻辑推导过程带来了极大的满足感。遗憾的是，该节目的执行并没有同样充满活力的想象力，因为大部分预算似乎都花在了一次罗马之旅上。在那里，G 博士采访了一位研究有组织犯罪的意大利专家，后者的口音极其浓重，甚至连字幕都显得重复。节目的其余部分则是由一群“Talking Heads”组成：前警察和犯罪记者们在镜头前坐得笔直，像是在校长办公室里的小学生。Gallop 博士对人们，即便是对无辜的人，肯定也有这种影响。

数字电视与点播精选

THE DEVIL'S MOUTH, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO

《大白鲨》（Jaws）的阴影继续笼罩在电影界，这部夏季恐怖片讲述了一群在泰国度过成年礼假期的年轻人，他们进行了一次看似愉快的旅行，进入了一个名为“恶魔之口”（The Devil's Mouth）的洞穴——结果却发现下方水域中潜伏着一只致命的鲨鱼，准备将他们拖向毁灭。《恶魔之口》受益于在朋友圈中选用了两名来自青少年浪漫剧集的领衔主演——在 Netflix 的《致所有我曾爱过的男孩》电影中饰演 Lara Jean 的 Lana Condor，以及 Gavin Casalegno，即《我灿烂的夏天》（The Summer I Turned Pretty）中的 Jeremiah。

他们中是否有人会变成鲨鱼的肉？如果发生了，请准备好在社交媒体上看到一些震惊的反应，因为这部电影非常符合这类特质。与此同时，《白莲花度假村》（The White Lotus）的粉丝可能会认出出生于英国的 Tayme Thapthimthong（如上图右侧所示，与 Domm Rose, Nico Hiraga, Condor, Kathryn Newton 和 Casalegno 在一起），他在第三季中饰演一名保安，而在这里饰演他们的向导。震耳欲聋、充满紧张感的配乐出自伟大的 Bear McCreary 之手。

《古罗马宝藏》（The Treasures Of Ancient Rome），晚上 8 点，BBC4

在 BBC4 关于古罗马的一系列重量级节目中，率先推出的是 Alastair Sooke 在 2012 年拍摄的三部分系列剧集。在这部剧中，这位艺术记者（如图所示）揭穿了古罗马人缺乏艺术能力且仅仅是模仿希腊人的观点。艺术不仅在罗马社会中繁荣发展，而且往往大胆且具有创新性，在绘画和雕塑中产生了一种全新的、毫无掩饰的写实主义。晚上 9 点，在《玛丽·比尔德谈卡利古拉》（Caligula With Mary Beard）中，这位历史学家通过筛选现存证据，以确定这位皇帝是否真的将他的马封为执政官，宣布自己是活生生的神，并杀掉了罗马一半的精英。晚上 10 点，Sir Derek Jacobi 回顾 1, 《克劳狄斯》（Claudius）这部 1976 年根据 Robert Graves 小说改编的剧集，该里程碑式剧集的前两集将在 10.15 点播出。

每日邮报 (Daily Mail)，2026 年 7 月 29 日，星期三

白羊座 3 月 21 日 - 4 月 20 日 你早有准备。你制定了计划，准备了谈话要点，并提前规划了理想的结果。但今天却有不同的想法。水瓶座的满月与狮子座的太阳和木星相对，会对你认为已经尘埃落定的一切产生戏剧性的干扰。此时你可能会想强行让原计划重回正轨。请克制这种冲动。会议已经推进，你也应当随之而动。你今天的灵活性比你的准备工作更有价值。这次满月威力强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0301*

金牛座 4 月 21 日 - 5 月 21 日 你已经支撑了很长时间。今天，水瓶座的满月照亮了你一直未敢问出的问题：这段关系的另一端是否仍值得你如此坚持？月亮与冥王星的相位不采取折中方案，它今天揭示的内容并非为了让你与之争辩。你可以坦诚地得出结论，你的坚守已经超出了这段关系所值得的忠诚度。这次满月威力强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0302*

双子座 5 月 22 日 - 6 月 22 日 火星进入你的星座，且处女座的金星与其形成刑相。这意味着你内心的渴望与现实情况对你的要求之间，今天的动态非常活跃。你一直在同时处理多件事，但今天又出现了一个新因素。那个让一切运转的杂耍者可能会发现，新球改变了节奏，而并非打破了节奏。因此，这一变化可能不是问题：而是一次改进。这次满月威力强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0303*

巨蟹座 6月23日 - 7月23日 某些社交义务是可预见的且枯燥的。你知道谁会说什么，紧张关系存在于何处，以及如何规避。今天水瓶座的满月在提出一个不同的问题：如果你停止周旋而简单地讲述真相，会发生什么？不是挑衅地，而是平静且清晰地。维持和平是有价值的，但有一种维持和平的方式是以牺牲你自己的代价为前提的。

JEMMA CAINER

今日的占星预示着，请你重新审视那些一直假装良好的一切。随着满月进入水瓶座，太阳在狮子座与木星相遇，这种对比产生的影响近乎于喜剧。这是一个宏大、扩张且略显荒诞的一天。你今天可能会

在真正的欢笑与哭泣的冲动之间波动。当事物不断变化时，那些能够做出正直要求之决定，并在过程中找到笑点的人，才是应对得最好的人。

某些事情。你可以同时保持善良和诚实。你一直都可以。这次满月力量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0304*

狮子座 7月 24 - 8月 23 太阳今天在你的星座中与木星相遇，你计划的所有事情的规模将随之扩大。你的直觉是用表演来迎接这种扩张，以一种显眼的、戏剧性的、能够填满整个房间的方式来应对局面。但局面有其自身的惯性。计划变得无关紧要。留下的是人格——而今天，你的人格是房间里最有趣的东西。最好的轶事永远不是关于事情进展顺利的部分。这次满月力量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0305*

处女座 8月 24 - 9月 23 处女座热爱清单。但今天，位于你星座的金星获得了双子座的火星，并引入了一种清单无法承载的快速变化特质。与其在混乱中捍卫你的日程表，不如思考一下改写后的版本会是什么样子。这并不意味着失败。这是一种接收新信息并将其整合，而不是将其视为干扰的应对方式。为你在随机调整设计方面的能力给予自己认可。这次满月力量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0306*

天秤座 9月 24 - 10月 23 有时在谈判过程中，双方都会忘记谈话最初的主题。水瓶座的满月有一种揭示这种偏移的方式。立场与反立场的缓慢累积，使每个人离最初的问题如此之远，以至于几乎不可见。今天提供了一个真正有用的重启机会，去记住你原本试图解决的是什么。答案可能比争论使其看起来的要简单得多。这次满月力量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0307*

天蝎座 10月 24 - 11月 22 项目管理意味着掌控并塑造结果。今天，满月与冥王星连线，对于你一直致力于某件事的方式传达了一个强有力的信息。这并非由于你的准备不足。这是一个提醒：冥王星的转化理念不需要你的许可——且不适应被管理。你今天的任务不是掌控，而是见证正在发生的变化。这次满月力量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0308*

射手座 11月 23 - 12月 21 你是保持自身与任何威胁之间足够距离的大师，使其永远无法追上。今天，水瓶座的满月要求采取不同的

策略。停下来，面对那个产生紧迫感的事物。在大多数情况下，当你直接面对时，那些感觉像在追击的力量，结果往往比预期的要弱得多。你一直花在领先于混乱之上的能量，很快就可以用于更好的事情上。这次满月力量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0309*

摩羯座 12月 22 - 1月 20 那些在当时被认为是最先进的旧建筑，在面对现代需求和期望时，可能会显得浪费且不适用。狮子座的满月与木星相对，为今天某个问题的蓝图引入了一种戏剧性揭示的特质。这揭示了原始结构本身没有问题——它只是在努力适应某些它在设计之初并未考虑过要容纳的东西。你擅长这种大胆的重新构思。今天在进行修改时请发挥创意。这次满月能量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0310*

水瓶座 1月 21 - 2月 19 满月落在你的星座，冥王星就在其身旁，这意味着今天具有一种从外部审视自己的特质。你能够以一种其他星座认为困难的方式地保持超脱，而今天这既是你最大的资产也是诱惑。资产在于？你可以足够清晰地观察自己的戏剧性冲突，从而选择你的应对方式，而不仅仅是做出反应。诱惑在于？利用超脱来逃避感受当下要求你感受的情绪。这次满月能量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0311*

双鱼座 2月 20 - 3月 20 你一直感受到的动荡并不全部属于你。其中一部分属于你周围的人，但你吸收了它们，直到它们与你内在的情绪天气变得难以分辨。今天水瓶座的满月提供了一个清晰的时刻，让你看到你所承受的负担中，有多少源自于你，又有多少属于他人。你不能依靠一张将他人的地形视为自己领地的地图来导航。今天请寻找你自己的界限。这次满月能量强大。利用它的光芒让你的生活变得更好。请致电 0965 789 0312*

英格兰和威尔士高等法院 商业与财产法院 公司法院 (CWD)

Today's poem（今日诗作）

这是有记录以来最热的一天！ 热浪无处不在。 狗在沙发上气喘吁吁地躺着。 我坐在椅子上大汗淋漓。 我今天有一百件事要做， 但高温抽干了我所有的精力。 建筑工人怎么盖房？ 孩子们怎么玩耍？

记得 60 年代那些多雨的夏天 总是非常凉爽， 夏天有着如此阴沉、多云的天空 以至于阳光完全无法穿透。

但气候变化导致了转变， 现在我们感受到了太阳的灼热威力。 我们在白日的蒸汽丛林中闷热难耐 而在漫长的阿拉伯之夜里无法入眠。

但没有什么能永远持续， 很快就是圣诞节了， 你知道吗， 到那时我们不需要空调 而需要一把铲子来清理积雪！

Kill Zone courage（《杀戮地带》的勇气）

Daily Mail 的 Boris Johnson, Richard Pendlebury 和 Jamie Wiseman 制作的卓越纪录片《走进乌克兰杀戮地带》（Into Ukraine's Kill Zone），做得非常好。

片中有些部分非常令人动情，尤其是他们采访那位受伤严重但现在成为了顶尖电话操作员的士兵时。我还希望 Dasha 能拥有自己的家庭，生活在自由和主权独立的乌克兰。

Scam warning（诈骗警告）

最近，我响应了一项在线请求，捐赠了 £25 用于资助一名患有脑瘤的 21 岁漂亮见习医生的治疗费用，该治疗费用共计 £90,000。

Letby justice（莱特比的公正）

每一位助产专业学生和医学生都被告知，婴儿出生时及出生后不久的情况取决于之前的怀孕、分娩和接产过程。每一位儿科医生、新生儿科医生和新生儿护士都知道这一点。我想每一位见习律师和见习大律师在医疗过失教育中也会被告知此事。

现代忧虑

几周前，几位通信者提到了 Anthony Buckridge 的校园故事（见读者来信），我记得在小学时读过。

后来我得知他改写了这些书，因为“不能指望现代男孩能理解男孩们曾经穿短裤，或者六便士是什么”。

抱歉，但我们过去学习拉丁文是为了阅读关于穿着托加长袍、用第纳里乌斯支付物品的人的故事。

这种改写只会导致时代错乱。我最近看到一本罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森的《绑架》平装本，其中 18 世纪的苏格兰方言被翻译成了现代萨比顿的语言。为什么不干脆彻底一点，让 Alan Breck Stewart 和 David Balfour 骑着摩托车逃离红衣军？

当时是早上 7 点，我正在厨房准备早茶，这时听到露台门上响起一声巨响。我以为是有鸟撞到了玻璃上，这种情况偶尔会发生。

离机接送陷阱

在我看来，由伦敦盖特威克机场承包的公司收取的离机接送费简直就是抢劫（见《每日邮报》）。

我最近两次被错误扣费。一次是因为没有空位，我无法在任何地方停车；第二次是我不小心错过了进入预订停车场的转弯口。尽管 ANPR（自动号牌识别）记录的进入并立即离开的时间不到 30 秒，我仍被收取了 £10。

这意味着每次为了退款都要进行一场没完没了的争斗。虽然两次申诉最终都成功了。但这些费用是不合理的，他们只是希望你直接交钱。

为什么他们需要一名多元化官员？为了确保他们没有在种族或宗教方面进行筛选？我原以为他们不需要被提醒这样一个基本原则。

“曼彻斯特主义”简直是纯粹的疯狂

伯纳姆（BURNHAM）上任的第一周让我想到了巴纳姆马戏团（Barnum's Circus）。“每一分钟都有一个傻瓜被骗”（There is a Sucker Born Every Minute）是该舞台剧中的曲目之一，考虑到伯纳姆最近提供的微小甜头作为试水，很难不让这段旋律在脑海中挥之不去。轻信的选民可能会认为“我喜欢你的风格”（I Like Your Style），但我担心不久之后，我们就会再次渴望基尔·斯塔默爵士（Sir Keir Starmer）那沉闷的岁月。随着他提出“北区唐宁街10号”（No10 North），“加入马戏团”似乎成了伯纳姆的信条——但这个“曼彻斯特主义”的典型例子无疑是一种完全不必要且带有表演性质的美德信号（virtue signalling）。在许多更重要的事情需要关注且需要更大预算的时候，这可能不会提高效率，而且肯定会耗钱。模仿欧盟在布鲁塞尔和斯特拉斯堡设立双重办公地的荒唐做法绝非明智之举，而在就任首相的第一周就强推“北区唐宁街10号”简直是愚蠢。起码他应该花时间讨论并思考这次新的冒险。白厅对北方——以及

旅途之中：上周五，安迪·伯纳姆在曼彻斯特的 Heron House

我们群岛其他地方的态度改善——只要有决心，完全可以在白厅内完成，而安迪·伯纳ham 肯定有这个决心。但为什么偏偏是曼彻斯特？为什么不是谢菲尔德、利兹或纽卡斯尔？伯纳姆是否只考虑曼彻斯特人？通过这些微不足道的施舍，我担心他是在告诉选民，他喜欢玩新橱柜里的玩具，但并不真正理解杠杆和按钮如何运作，也不知道电池装在哪里。现在是暑假。首相应该在国内问题上慢下来，停止炫耀，观察、学习并思考。他绝对应该尽快在包括国防、查戈斯群岛（Chagos Islands）和非法移民在内的更至关重要的事项上采取行动。

对特朗普总统伊朗战争的担忧

安德鲁·尼尔（ANDREW NEIL，《每日邮报》）表示，针对伊朗的战争将成为定义特朗普总统任期的标志。除非伯纳姆政府能更严肃地对待这一准则——即英国领土和基地不得用于战争目的，除非理由纯粹是为了防御，否则伯纳姆政府可能会面临同样的命运。近期从格洛斯特郡皇家空军基地对伊朗发起的空袭显然不符合这一定义。不出所料，伊朗人通过将英国视为美国的共同参战国来予以回应，并威胁要进行报复。英国正处于被卷入的途中。到目前为止，英国政府唯一的反应是新任国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷（Wes Streeting）一段极其乏味的喧闹虚张声势之词。如果英国真的与伊朗陷入战争，这很可能会像伊拉克战争定义托尼·布莱尔的首相任期一样，彻底定义伯纳姆的首相任期。如果拒绝允许英国领土或基地被用于这场战争，要承受特朗普可能产生的反应将需要勇气。但对于伯纳姆来说，另一种选择则糟糕得多。 ROGER SCHAFIR, 伦敦 N21

民主的问题在于它是民主的。特朗普总统必须向美国人民负责，而穆贾塔巴·哈梅内伊（Mojtaba Khamenei）则没有这种约束。他向一个“更高的权力机构”负责，任何不同意的人都可以被随意抛弃。遗憾的是，特朗普已经输掉了这场战争，只要伊朗境内仍盛行中世纪的哲学，他就无法赢得和平。 RICHARD MUMFORD, 多塞特郡，三腿十字 (Three Legged Cross, Dorset)

安德鲁·尼尔说美国面临一个尴尬的选择，这无疑是正确的：要么选择与伊朗进行一场更严重的战争，要么承受现代史上最大的国家耻辱之一。我预计它最终会选择耻辱，正如它通常所做的那样。 Rev Dr PETER MULLEN, 东萨塞克斯郡，伊斯特本 (Eastbourne, E. Sussex)

问题 英国首相在没有赢得大选的情况下就职有多罕见？

这比你想象的要常见得多。18 世纪有 7 位首相通过这种方式登上顶峰，19 世纪有 5 位。

其中，查尔斯·沃森-温特沃斯 (Charles Watson-Wentworth) 在 1765-66 年和 1782 年两度短暂任职，但从未赢得选举；而乔治·坎宁 (George Canning) 在 1827 年接替利物浦勋爵，但在一年内去世，未能面对选民。

在更近的时期，过去 100 年里担任过首相的 22 人中，有 8 位是未经选举的首相。分别是：内维尔·张伯伦 (Neville Chamberlain)、亚历克·道格拉斯-霍姆 (Alec Douglas-Home)、詹姆斯·卡拉汉 (James Callaghan)、戈登·布朗 (Gordon Brown)、特蕾莎·梅 (Theresa May)、利兹·特拉斯 (Liz Truss)、里希·苏纳克 (Rishi Sunak) 以及现在的 Andy Burnham。

在这同一批 22 位首相中，有两位既赢得过也输掉过大选——斯坦利·鲍德温 (Stanley Baldwin) 和温斯顿·丘吉尔 (Winston Churchill)。

虽然目前看来我们正处于一个动荡的政治时期，十年内有六位首相（其中四位是接任首相），但 1979 年到 2007 年之间仅有玛格丽特·撒切尔 (Margaret Thatcher)、约翰·梅杰 (John Major) 和托尼·布莱尔 (Tony Blair) 占据 No 10 的稳定时期，在历史上反而更罕见。

19 世纪初，保守派的斯宾塞·珀西瓦尔 (Spencer Percival) 在 1809 年接替威廉·卡文迪什-本廷克 (William Cavendish-Bentinck) 出任首相，但在他带领政党参加大选之前，被一名不满意商人在下议院大厅枪杀身亡。他至今仍是唯一一位在任期间被暗杀的英国首相。

Harry Stewart，北安普顿

问题 为什么格拉斯哥的足球队发音为 Seltic，而该赛事却发音为 Keltic？

这归结于语言历史的一个奇癖。当凯尔特足球俱乐部于 1887 年在格拉斯哥成立时（该球队进行了其第一场比赛

通往 No 10 的常见路线

未当选：George Canning（左）和 Charles Watson-Wentworth

（次年），“Celtic”一词在英语中通常发软 S 音。该词是通过法语进入英语的，在法语中，'c' 在 'e' 之前发软音，因此人们在谈论“Seltic”民族和“Keltic”文化时如此发音。

然而，在 18 和 19 世纪，历史学家和语言学家开始追溯该词的古老起源。他们注意到，希腊人将凯尔特人称为 Keltot，而拉丁语形式为 Celtae。为了使发音更接近这些古典根源，学者们越来越多地采用硬 K 音，从而在提及古代民族、语言和文化时给了我们现代发音“Keltic”。

不过，到那时，格拉斯哥的足球俱乐部已经成立。就像许多专有名词一样，它保留了最初的发音。结果，即使更广泛的历史和学术界转向了“Keltic”，该俱乐部仍然被称为“Keltic”。

Iona Thomson, Glasgow

问题 英国最后一起疑似自发性人体燃烧的病例是什么时候？

最后一起被广泛怀疑的自发性人体燃烧病例发生在 1982. 年北伦敦的 Edmonton。61, 岁的 Jeannie Saffin 坐在厨房里，当时她的家人报告说，她的腹部和口中突然闪现火光并喷出蓝色火焰，伴随着像“巨龙”一样咆哮的声音。她一周后在医院去世。

超自然研究人员声称 Saffin “在未被烧毁的衣服内部被烧焦”，但这一点后来受到了官方的质疑。医院记录显示她的口腔没有受损，从而否定了巨龙理论，而病理学家将其死亡归因于“灯芯效应” (wick effect)，即外部火花（如点燃的香烟或火柴）点燃了人的衣服或体脂。一种理论是，她父亲 Jack 的烟斗余烬通过开窗的穿堂风飘到了 Jeannie 易燃的尼龙衣服上。

一个更具有说服力的近期案例发生在爱尔兰的 Ballybane，76, 岁的 Michael Faherty 在 2010. 年被发现死在自己的客厅里，被烧焦。由于没有谋杀或助燃剂的迹象，验尸官正式将其死亡判定为自发性人体燃烧。唯一的损害在于 Faherty 的遗体、他下方的地板和上方的天花板，而房子的其余部分仅受到烟雾损害。消防官员无法确定起火点。

自发性人体燃烧的病例相对罕见，在过去的 300 年里全球仅报告了 200 例。

William Robbins, Hartlepool

问题 潜艇是什么时候首次发明的？

继之前的回答之后，与其他海军强国相比，英国在开发潜艇方面相对较晚。

海军部的勋爵们认为在海洋下方潜行是不正当的（Just Not Cricket），海军主管 Arthur Wilson 宣称潜艇是“阴险、不公平且极其不符合英国人作风的”。

价格仅为 Club Med 之旅的一半，我们的作者发现了这座埃及度假胜地为何如此...

作者：JACOB LEWIS

这是一个所有精疲力竭的新手妈妈或爸爸都熟知的陈词滥调：度假不过是在另一个地方为人父母。真正的解脱——那种能读书和谈话的解脱——是被一道每周 £5,000 的私人保姆和超豪华别墅的付费墙所阻隔的，对吧？

但对于我们其他人来说，现在出现了一个绝佳的选择：Tui 的五星级 Sensatori 品牌。我们发现它的价格仅为 Club Med 旅程（传统的家庭全包度假金标准）的一半。

我们——我的妻子 Morgan、三岁的 Lena 和五个月大的 Jude——前往了埃及沙姆谢赫的 Tui Blue Sensatori Coral Sea 度假村，以看看它是否符合预期。

第一印象非常好。我们这一周的住所是一个泳池直通房，这意味着我们可以在泳池里游泳，而 Jude 则在他的婴儿床里小睡。度假村规模宏大，但巧妙地划分成了成人区和家庭区，我们的房间就在家庭区。那里有一条 650 米的私人海滩和一条长长的海滨大道，似乎是专门为那些“请快快睡吧”的夜晚婴儿车散步而设计的。

儿童泳池——带有滑道和海盗船“喷水区”——

惬意：埃及的 Tui Blue Sensatori Coral Sea 度假村。右图：Lena 在海滩上的乐趣

被安置在一侧。与此同时，海景平台上提供瑜伽，还有成人专属泳池/酒吧，以及一个俯瞰红海的健身房。它在不牺牲高端设施的情况下实现了家庭友好。

我们很享受五个泳池和景观花园，但真正的吸引力是私人码头尽头的屋礁。在这里，你可以把婴儿车换成潜水镜，在早晨将孩子送到儿童俱乐部后的 5 分钟内，就能与鹦鹉鱼一起游泳。

令人高兴的是，这里的儿童护理被证明是无与伦比的。

婴儿俱乐部的运作比例为 1:3，且对员工的资质要求非常严格。Lena 非常喜爱这里的团队和活动，以至于她坚持每天参加早晚两个时段的活动。

在安置好一个孩子后，我们通常也会为 Jude 办理两个时段的登记，从而为我们争取到 4 小时的无孩时光。

此外，每周有两晚，工作人员会在派对之夜帮你照顾孩子直到晚上 9 点（此项额外费用为每名儿童 £26）。

这一周里，Lena 的小组制作了纸浆火山，在喷水池中享受泳池派对，并创作了各种工艺品。

Jude 在婴儿俱乐部得到了亲切的 Hannahdee 和 Lucy 提供的世界级一对一关注，感官游戏让他快乐地打发时间。

有一天早晨，我们租了一艘船去参观一艘冷战时期的沉船，其阴郁的历史伴随着导游关于一名俄罗斯船长和喝了太多伏特加的玩笑话。

GSK 启动削减成本计划引发失业担忧

GSK 昨日公布了在引入人工智能的同时削减数十亿成本的计划，引发了对英国就业岗位的担忧。

这家富时 100 (FTSE 100) 药业巨头宣布，将关闭其位于史蒂夫尼奇 (Stevenage) 的研发基地，并将员工迁至剑桥一个 300,000 平方英尺的设施中，该设施紧邻其在英国的主要竞争对手阿斯特捷能 (AstraZeneca)。

此次向英国生命科学产业核心地带的迁移受到了首相安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 的欢迎，他表示，对新设施的 £400m 投资是“对英国企业的信任票”。

作者：Calum Muirhead

GSK 还表示，将升级其在韦尔 (Ware) 镇（距离史蒂夫尼奇约 11 英里）的研发设施，并在迁至剑桥的同时将部分员工安置在那里。

“在这一次行动中，我们是在用实际行动证明我们的决心，”GSK 首席执行官卢克·米尔斯 (Luke Miels)（如图）说道。

但由于该公司在宣布搬迁的同时还计划大规模削减成本，这让人们对 GSK 史蒂夫尼奇基地 1,800 名员工的前景产生了疑问。

在随半年度业绩一同发布的公司战略更新中，米尔斯表示，GSK 目标是通过支出的“重新分配”，到 2029 年每年节省 £1.9bn，这将有助于为“大型临床研究以及这些新实验室”提供资金。

这家制药公司拒绝就削减成本对员工人数意味着什么提供详细信息。

但预计任何岗位流失将主要来自 GSK 的采购部门，以及公司中处理已失去专利、因此对业务价值较低的旧药的相关部门。该公司还表示，成本节省将得益于“技术和 AI”，米尔斯称 AI 将被用于处理“海量”数据以辅助药物研究。他补充道：“AI 工具需要人类的引导，但它们将使我们的员工变得更高效。”

周一，阿斯特捷能负责人帕斯卡尔·索里奥 (Pascal Soriot) 表示，关于 AI 将“扼杀就业”的担忧在“某种程度上是个假故事”。

GSK 报告上半年销售额增长 5%，达到 £16bn。

该期间利润下降 31% 至 £2.8bn，主要是因为 GSK 在一项临床试验结果令人失望后，停止了针对慢性咳嗽的治疗药物 camlibizant 的开发，导致了 £1.3bn 的损失。

巴克莱银行警告伯纳姆不要通过意外税掠夺

作者：Patrick Tooher 和 Jane Denton

巴克莱银行的首席执行官昨日拒绝了日益高涨的对银行征收意外税（windfall tax）的呼吁。

CS Venkatakrishnan 的表态是在该贷款机构公布巨额半年利润并增加顶级交易员的潜在奖金池之后做出的。

自首相 Andy Burnham 披露在国防、社会护理和生活成本支持方面增加支出的计划以来，要求对贷款机构征收额外税款的呼吁不断增加。

包括巴克莱在内的最大银行已经在 25pc 的公司税率之上支付 3pc 的附加费。

但 Venkatakrishnan（见图）警告不要征收额外税款，他告诉记者，“我们每拥有 £1 的资本，就会向支持经济增长的企业和家庭提供 £8 到 £10 的贷款”。

“国家增长得越好，我们所有人的情况就越好，”这位贷款机构的首席执行官补充道。

最新的业绩得益于交易员利用市场动荡获利以及抵押贷款利率的提高。利润增长 17pc 至 £6.1bn，为银行奖金池拨备的金额从 £1bn 增加到 £1.3bn。

巴克莱银行的银行家现在将受益于一种华尔街风格的制度，在这种制度下，薪酬与绩效更紧密地挂钩，而固定薪金较低。

该行还将其股息增加了一倍，并披露了新的 £1bn 股票回购计划。

这些数字进一步增加了要求贷款机构支付更多税款的呼声

银行负责人称新税收将抑制贷款和增长

这种税收呼吁可能会随着 Lloyds 和 NatWest 在未来几天公布业绩而增加。

根据英国工会大会（TUC）的数据，将 2023 年削减的银行附加费恢复到 8pc，将在接下来的四年中筹集约 £9bn。TUC 总书记 Paul Nowak 表示：“像巴克莱这样的大银行在敛财，而劳动人民和当地企业却在挣扎。”

“高利率对银行来说是福音，但对我们其他人来说则意味着抵押贷款的痛苦和更高的账单。”

“家庭在接下来的几个月里将需要更多支持——这并非一个艰难的选择。”

巴克莱银行表示，在上半年贷款增长 5pc 后，该行有望在今年向经济体提供 £30bn 的贷款。

近年来，由于长期维持的高利率，银行的利润得到了提升，这扩大了它们支付给储户的存款利息与向借款人收取的贷款利息之间的差距。

这一差距——净利息收入——是衡量贷款机构盈利能力的关键指标。对于巴克莱而言，由于中东战争的影响推高了利率预期，上半年该项收入增长 8pc 至 £4bn。

股票交易部门的收入飙升 45pc 至 £1.26bn，因为交易员利用中东战争引起以及 AI 股票最新走势导致的市场波动获利。

但投资者对这些结果反应冷淡，导致股价下跌 4.8pc，即 25.4p，至 505p。

Shore Capital 的银行分析师 Gary Greenwood 表示，虽然投资银行表现“非常出色”，但 Barclays UK 低于预期，且美国消费银行表现不佳。

顽固的通货膨胀给工党带来压力

作者：John-Paul Ford Rojas

一家领先的智库警告称，随着通胀压力增加，ANDY Burnham 面临着 £24bn 的实际支出紧缩。

国家经济与社会研究学会（NIESR）表示，这意味着首相和财政大臣 John Healey 将在秋季预算案中面临“非常艰难的权衡”。

NIESR 的最新预测表明，与伊朗的战争将“继续推高通货膨胀”，预计明年 2 月将达到 3.8pc 的峰值。

NIESR 预测，通胀将比之前认为的“更高且更持久”，直到 2029, 才会回到 2pc 的目标值。

更高的通胀预期将削弱公共支出增长的实际影响。

“更高且更持久”

到本十年末，这将导致比今年早些时候春季声明（Spring Statement）预测的资金缺口增加 £24bn。

NIESR 质疑如此紧缩的公共服务是否在“政治上可行”。

随着伯纳姆（Burnham）和希莉（Healey）面临压力，需要做出进一步承诺，例如增加国防开支以及为首相已经宣布的政策（如能源账单和商业税减免）提供资金，这增加了他们面临的挑战。

该智库警告称，在不增加已处于高位的债务水平的情况下，进一步借贷的空间很小，因此这些承诺必须通过提高税收或在其他地方削减开支来提供资金。

美国通胀之战

阅读过今夏政治畅销书《政权更迭》（Regime Change）——该书详细剖析了特朗普白宫——的读者会意识到，美国总统与前美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔（Jerome Powell）之间存在着深层的厌恶。鲍威尔值得称赞的一点是，他拒绝在压力下降低利率。

新任美联储主席凯文·沃什（Kevin Warsh）起步就拥有一定的信用，因为特朗普不仅钦佩他的知识水平，还欣赏他的外貌和个人财富。但这并未阻止总统在今天美国决定借贷成本之前，要求“利率应当降低”。事实上，在美国关于通胀是否变得根深蒂固而引发的争论，将在英格兰银行周四进行投票时产生共鸣。

沃什接管美联储以来的重大变化是减少了关于意图的表述。即便如此，市场仍坚信美国央行将把关键联邦基金利率维持在 3.5% 至 3.75% 的区间内。然而，美国经济学家中产生了一种日益增长的

Alex Brummer

城市编辑

观点，认为如果美联储要实现 2% 的通胀目标，就应该采取紧缩政策。

如果认为在通胀五年多时间里都远高于该水平之后，物价会突然下降，那纯属痴心妄想。

油价虽然波动剧烈，但仍比本月初伊朗战争重启时高出 40%。美国综合物价上涨 3.7%，今年夏季加油站的汽油价格比去年高 30%，6 月食品价格上涨 3.。所有这些都表明，目前的美国通胀绝非暂时性的。

沃什主张，对 2% 目标的承诺将是“强有力的、一致的且毫不含糊的”。

这意味着应该采取鹰派立场，并紧缩最多 0.5 个百分点。但我们现在还不能确定他是否会违抗总统。

不光彩的食品

联合利华（Unilever）老板费尔南多·费尔南德斯（Fernando Fernandez）传递的信息是，健康的增长正来自美容、健康、个人护理和家庭护理。

那么，为什么不舍弃更为平庸的旗下的亨氏（Hellmann's）、家乐（Knorr）、马麦酱（Marmite）及其他食品业务呢？

上半年的增长故事足以大幅提升这家低迷的富时100强（FTSE stalwart）企业的股价。

不应有人认为，在个人护理产品大规模世界杯营销的推动下，此次业绩结果使得拟将食品品牌出售给美国香料专家麦考密克（McCormick）的交易成了一笔绝佳买卖。

鉴于一些关键原材料成本飙升，未来六个月护理品牌的定价将面临更大的挑战。

联合利华通过提供在伦敦进行二次上市以及将包括食品研发负责人在内的高管注入新的合资企业，为麦考密克交易争取到了一定的市场支持。

关于联合利华股东无法对该交易进行投票的抱怨声并未消失。麦考密克在伦敦的上市被认为毫无意义，因为它不会被纳入指数且缺乏流动性。

据报道，激进投资者仍旨在阻止这项交易。成功的机会被认为不高。食品销售在美国和欧洲可能遭受打击，但在新兴和发展市场中势头强劲。

联合利华每砍掉一个业务肢体——涂抹酱、茶叶、冰淇淋以及其他食品——它就会萎缩，并更容易受到机会主义收购出价的影响。

唉。

剑桥的吸引力

人工智能（AI）为大制药公司提供了巨大的机遇。它不仅能加速研发（R&D）进程，还让大玩家有机会重新审视数十年前的研究结果，揭示化合物重新利用的潜在线索。葛兰素史克（GlaxoSmithKline）的目标是每年节省 £1.9bn 的成本。这意味着职位将减少。

加速增长意味着加倍投入研发，并为制药中心剑桥带来更多工作岗位和地位，那里将设立一个新的 £400m 研究中心。这紧随阿斯利康（AstraZeneca）的脚步。

考虑到澳大利亚籍首席执行官卢克·米尔斯（Luke Miels）在阿斯利康的经历（在那里他推出了几款重磅药物），剑桥的吸引力并不令人惊讶。

FRASERS 通过持有 4pc 股份进军 BURBERRY

迈克·艾希利（MIKE Ashley）的 Frasers Group 在其最新一次进军奢侈品市场的行动中持有 Burberry 的股份。

这家拥有 Sports Direct 和 House of Fraser 的零售集团昨晚披露，其持有这家英国风衣制造商 4.0pc 的股份。

这家富时 250（FTSE 250）公司已经拥有奢侈品牌 Flannels 和萨维尔街裁缝店 Glees & Hawkes，以及另一家上市英国时尚公司 Mulberry 37pc 的股份。

Frasers 还希望买下时尚品牌 Hugo Boss 的其余股份，目前其已持有超过 30pc 的股份。

Burberry 在最新的广告活动中起用了美国模特肯达尔·詹娜（Kendall Jenner，见图），虽然此前一直饱受销售惨淡之苦，但迹象表明，在老板约书亚·舒尔曼（Joshua Schulman）领导下的转型计划在今年开始见效。

本月早些时候，Burberry 自 2023 年以来首次实现了所有部门的增长。

在股份披露后，昨日股价收盘上涨 5pc，而 Frasers 的股价上涨 2.5pc。

联合利华首席执行官在销售额激增之际无视批评者

在联合利华（UNILEVER）公布 16 年来最佳销售增长后，其股价昨日飙升。

这些结果为这家消费品巨头在老板 Fernando Fernandez 领导下的争议性战略带来了助力。

联合利华（旗下拥有 Dove、Marmite 和 TRE8emme 等品牌）还上调了年度展望，并对伊朗战争引发的消费者低迷情绪不予理会。

世界杯期间部分品牌营销带来的积极反响推动了需求。这家企业集团还赞扬了在印度和拉丁美洲的销售额激增。股价上涨 8%，即 371p，至 4998p。

这给 Fernandez 注入了一剂强心针，他告诉投资者，将联合利华专注于美容和个人护理部门，同时剥离食品业务的计划正取得回报。结果显示

作者：Emily Hawkins

第二季度销售量增长 5.5pc，是自 2010. 以来最大的增幅。营收增长 5.8pc 至 £11.1bn。

Fernandez 表示，第二季度的增长是由美容与健康、个人护理以及家庭护理部门的表现所驱动的。

涉及以下产品的表现‘强劲’

‘AI 动荡中的避风港’

包括 Dove、Rexona 和 Lynx 除臭剂及肥皂在内的世界杯赞助产品。

他补充说，世界杯对公司而言是一个‘关键时刻’，公司招募了 50,000 名社交媒体‘内容创作者’来帮助推广其赞助活动，其‘规模之大，鲜有公司能比拟’。

特别是其‘强势品牌’ Dove、Bunsilk 和 Vaseline 实现了两位数的增长。他补充说，在接下来的几个月里，品牌还将继续从赛事中获得益处。

Fernandez 因在一项 £33bn 的交易中将包括 Marmite 和 Hellmann's 在内的食品品牌剥离给美国香料巨头 McCormick 而面临批评。

但他在昨天表示，结果‘表明了我们在优化投资组合的同时，能够继续保持良好表现的能力’。

‘我们的品牌更强大，执行力更精准，并且我们正在大规模地驱动需求，’Fernandez 补充道。

该公司预计年度营收增长将在 4pc 至 6pc 之间，而之前的预测则倾向于该范围的‘较低端’。

经纪商 IG 的首席市场分析师 Chris Beauchamp 表示：‘寻求避风港以远离当前 AI 股票动荡的投资者，无需再寻找，只需看向老牌的联合利华即可。’

前 Connells 首席执行官赢得仲裁

英国最大房地产中介公司的前老板在针对 Skipton Building Society 的不公正解雇和年龄歧视诉讼中胜诉。

67, 岁的 David Livesey 在 Connells 工作了 33 年，Skipton 于 2010. 年收购了该公司。他起诉 Skipton，要求赔偿据报道为 £7m 的金额，指称他在三年前遭到首席执行官 Stuart Haire 的霸凌后被强迫离职。一家就业仲裁庭

驳回了霸凌指控，但支持了两项歧视主张。

Skipton 给 Livesey 寄了一张仅 46p 的支票，用于补偿他花费 £420,000. 的 Connells 股份。相比之下，另一位董事在持有较少股份的情况下获得了超过 £1.6m 的款项。仲裁庭认定，Livesey 在股份问题上遭受的‘较不利对待’‘是不合理的’。Skipton 表示对该裁决感到‘失望’。

格拉斯哥的风暴无法撼动英格兰短跑女王

对于艾米·亨特（Amy Hunt）来说，格拉斯哥的阴霾之中亦有曙光。在这个苏格兰的糟糕夜晚，这位英格兰的“学术硬核且赛道女神”在雨中奋力冲刺，夺得第二名。

亨特一直是个追求卓越的人。她在剑桥大学学习文学，曾在世界锦标赛 200 米项目中获得银牌，而现在她的名下又多了一枚英联邦运动会奖牌。

在斯科特斯通（Scotstoun）体育场外，志愿者们决心不被这场暴雨击垮。“没有苏格兰，就没有派对（No Scotland, so party），”他们如此高喊。在终点线后没有顶棚的看台上，当亨特以 10.98 秒的成绩冲线时，大多数派对参与者已经离开去寻找避雨处了。

来自新西兰的佐伊·霍布斯（Zoe Hobbs）在第七道奋力冲刺，出人意料地赢得了金牌。对于亨特而言，这都是一个长期计划的一部分，旨在让她在 2026 奥运会的 200 米项目中具备争牌竞争力。她一直在致力于提高起跑能力和最高速度。在 2026, 年至今，她已经在 50, 60 和 100 米项目中创下了个人最好成绩。在洛杉矶温暖气候下的 200 米比赛中，这一切都将有助于提高她的成绩。

希瑟·奥克斯（Heather Oakes）是最后一位为英格兰赢得 100 米金牌的女性。那是在 1966, 年，当时有 32 个国家抵制这次比赛，因为玛格丽特·撒切尔（Margaret Thatcher）拒绝对南非的种族隔离政府实施制裁。等待金牌的时光仍在继续。

整个晚上，体育场工作人员不断用巨大的刮水机在蓝色赛道上推行以吸收积水。它们每分钟可吸收 60 升水，但仍无法阻止赛道变成一个 100 米长的滑道。比利·康诺利（Billy Connolly）就出生在距离这座体育场 15 分钟路程的地方，这里通常由格拉斯哥勇士（Glasgow Warriors）橄榄球队使用。正如这位城市中饱经风雨的喜剧演员曾说过的：“苏格兰只有两个季节：六月和冬天。”

英格兰人埃利奥特·琼斯（Elliot Jones）在当晚早些时候参加了比赛，在 100 米半决赛中出局。这位 28 岁的运动员在走回更衣室时，不得不拧干他的跑鞋钉。

“赛道上到处是水，”琼斯说，他目睹了喀麦隆的埃马纽埃·埃塞梅（Emmanuel Eseme）以 9. 83 秒的运动会纪录夺冠。“我觉得完全没有抓地力。是我个人的问题还是水的关系，我不知道。我觉得自己根本没在前进。”

“很令人沮丧，但每个人的条件都一样。我进入起跑器时，还在把赛道上的水往外推。在抢跑和正式起跑之间，水又积回来了。这就是苏格兰的夏天，不是吗？”

许多世界上最快的女性在本周都远离了格拉斯哥。来自圣卢西亚的奥运冠军朱利安·阿尔弗雷德（Julien Alfred）就在缺席名单之列，

以及英属维尔京群岛的阿迪杰亚·霍奇（Adiejah Hodge），后者创下了今年全球最快成绩。你大概可以猜测，当他们在电视机前看到运动员们蜷缩在雨伞下时，心中并没有多少遗憾。

然而，这是亨特不愿错过的赛事。她的父母从纽马克（Newark）赶来观看，并与她的教练一起预订了 Airbnb。仅仅是英联邦运动会吗？去问问她的导师，双金得主达伦·坎贝尔（Darren Campbell）吧。

“前往奥运会时，你总会知道那将是一件极其重大且充满喧嚣的事情，”亨特说。“在田径圈内部，我不知道我们是否像公众那样对英联邦运动会持有同样的敬畏之情。我们中的许多人成长过程中并没有在电视上看它。”

英联邦运动会覆盖了所有这些不同的观看记忆，但我出生在 2002. 年。有一张

4 苏格兰	7	4	4	15
5 尼日利亚	6	4	1	11

照片是我刚出生在换尿布垫上，看着达伦·坎贝尔比赛的样子。

“Darren Campbell 现在是我的导师，所以对我来说，这是一个非常圆满的时刻。团队元素对于我们田径运动员来说也非常独特。我在接力赛中能感受到这种同志之情，但我很多参加 800 米、1500 米、跳远项目的队友们却无法获得同样的团队感。”

“能够聚在一起并获得这次体验真的很棒。这在某种程度上是对奥运会的一次试运行。”

像 Keely Hodgkinson、Dina Asher-Smith 和 Katarina Johnson-Thompson 这样的人员并未参加本次赛事，不过她们已被列入下个月欧洲锦标赛的英国队名单。

Hunt 认为，当他们聚集在一起时，英国队（Team GB）能够挑战世界最顶尖水平。“Asher Phillip 最近退役了，她是第一批重新点燃英国女子短跑统治地位的人之一，”Hunt 说道。

“然后我们进入了一个由 Dina Asher-Smith、Daryll Neita 和 Imani-Lara Lansingh 组成的新时代。现在我成长起来了，我下面还有很多青少年选手。一旦他们崭露头角，我们就拥有了一支可以维持未来 16 年的接力队。”

“我们知道，来自这个小小国家的人可以挑战世界上最顶尖的选手。从整体上看，我们从未如此强大。”

金牌对泽西男孩 Filip 来说相当意外！

随着趋势开始转向奥运会，Filip Nowacki 看起来像是一位能在 LA 2028 引起轰动且实现突破的明星。这位来自泽西的 18 岁少年（右）仍在等待他的 A level 成绩，但他昨晚在格拉斯哥赢得的金牌证明了人们对 Team G8 这位新泳池之星的兴奋之情。在周六晚上将 Adam Ramsay-Peaty 击败并获得 100 米银牌后，Nowacki 在他最擅长的 200m 项目中获得了第一名。这是泽西 36 年来获得的第一座英联邦冠军。他成为了这里的焦点，领先于加拿大的 Oliver Dawson 和

以及澳大利亚的 Zac Stubbletly-Cook。Nowacki 在去年的欧洲青年锦标赛上向世界泳坛宣告了自己的到来，以 2:07.32 的成绩获胜，这个成绩除了一个高级组奥运会项目外，在所有项目中都能获得奖牌。英格兰的 Imogen Clark 自身也表现出色，在女子 50m 蛙泳决赛中与加拿大的 Sophie Angus 并列第三，共同获得铜牌。

澳大利亚的 Sienna Toohey 获得银牌，而 Lara van Niekerk 为南非卫冕冠军。克拉克在赛后情绪激动地透露，她为了达到这个目标进行了艰苦的斗争。“我对此非常高兴，我从未想过能再次获得奖牌，”她说。“这四年非常艰难，因为我现在没有资助，我有一份全职工作，所以我真的很自豪。我想我只是很固执，我一直坚持回来。如果你热爱它，就继续前进吧！”

Moore 向 O'Brien 称赞其“难以置信”的新耐力之王

RYAN MOORE 在 Scandinavia 赢得戏剧性的古德伍德杯并完成历史性双冠后，宣布其为一名“难以置信”的赛马。由 Aidan O'Brien 6-5 热门马在主要对手 Trawlerman 被一匹无骑师的脱缰马干扰后，以 8.5 个马身之差获胜并卫冕冠军。Scandinavia 的 Group One

成功发生在他在皇家雅士谷金杯赛中以微弱优势击败 Trawlerman 的一个月后。Moore 表示：“Scandinavia 是一匹难以置信的赛马。我不能说他比 Kypros [O'Brien 曾两次赢得金杯赛的赛马，在其 21 场起跑中赢了 17 场] 更好，因为 Kypros 在进入长途耐力赛后拥有近乎完美的比赛记录，而这个小伙子现在也一样。当我们参加金杯赛时，那是他 [Scandinavia] 第一次跑 2.5 英里，而且由于过去曾被 Trawlerman 击败，我没有”

严惩令板球蒙羞的业余骗子

板球通常被誉为“绅士的游戏”，参与者传统上非常强调公平竞争、礼仪和相互尊重。

然而，这些价值观似乎并未在索尔特本板球俱乐部（Saltburn CC）落地，这家北约克郡的俱乐部卷入了一场在网络上疯传的作弊风波。

视频证据看来是定论性的。

多段剪辑显示，一名接球员在球经过击球手时打响手指，以模拟球击中球拍边缘的声音。

他的目的既明显又令人震惊：欺骗裁判给他的球队一个出局名额。

皮尔斯·摩根（Piers Morgan）作为数百万对该事件发表看法的人之一，精准地指出了这一点。作为一名狂热的板球迷，摩根在社交媒体上将索尔特本队的行径描述为“肆无忌惮的作弊”、“可耻的骗局”且“可悲”。

说得没错。北约克郡和南达勒姆联赛已经对索尔特本俱乐部及其球员展开调查。

必须对他们严惩不贷，并在此过程中传递一个信号：无论在哪个级别的板球比赛中，这种卑劣的行径都没有生存空间。任何其他运动同样如此。

作弊者必须始终受到惩罚。就像澳大利亚人卡梅伦·班克罗夫特（Cameron Bancroft）、史蒂夫·史密斯（Steve Smith）和戴维·沃纳（David Warner）在 2018 年因参与砂纸改球事件而受罚一样，索尔特本的这些人也必须面临同样的对待。

一旦调查完成，被发现参与此次欺诈行为的人，扣分和长期禁赛应该是最低限度的惩罚。

板球 评论 作者：ALEX BYWATER

向基层板球运动员传递一个信号至关重要：任何试图欺骗裁判的行为都是不可接受的。

那个级别的裁判工作本就足够艰辛。作为一名在威尔士东南部打基层板球的人，我对此深有体会。

在不少有争议的“腿前击球”出局判定中，我曾处于不利的一方。就在上周末，我看到我的队友被判定为被接球手接杀出局，而球明显是碰到了他的大腿护垫。

这些事件可能会让人感到非常沮丧，但（在喝了几杯拉格啤酒后）人们会接受这是人为失误。

而发生在负责索尔特本比赛的裁判身上的情况是，他们被蒙蔽了。单纯且直接。

我打俱乐部板球已经很长时间了，从未见过这样的事情。

此时必须向索尔特本提出一个问题：为了赢得一场娱乐性板球赛，你得绝望到什么程度才会采取这种手段？

他们的行为将本应是“绅士的游戏”抹黑了。

速度、技巧与花式... PSG的Bradley Barcola全部兼备

利物浦是否找到了接替萨拉的人？

所谓的保守秘密大概就是这样。当利物浦新主帅 Andoni Iroda 被问到球队需要在哪里加强时，他回答道：“我们肯定需要一名边锋。”

当你必须在俱乐部历史上最伟大的球员之一穆罕默德·萨拉（Mohamed Salah）离队后寻找接替者，而你在美国季前巡赛期间的右翼选择仅有 18 岁的 Kieran Morrison 和 16 岁的 Joshua Abe 时，就没必要再假装成其他样子了。

特别是当新任掌权者以快速、直接、进攻性的足球风格著称时。利物浦同样清楚他们想要谁来填补这个明显的空缺。正如《每日邮报体育》上周末报道的那样，俱乐部正在洽谈从巴黎圣日耳曼（PSG）签下 23 岁的边锋 Bradley Barcola 的交易。

然而，PSG 对这名法国国脚的要价在 £140million 左右，这将打破利物浦去年夏天签下 Alexander Isak 时支付的 £125m 英国纪录。

对于一名在续约问题上停滞不前、告知 PSG 想要离开，且在主教练 Luis Enrique 麾下地位下降的球员来说，这笔费用相当之高。而 Enrique 在欧冠关键阶段更倾向于选择的边路球员

是 Desire Doue 和 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia。因此，你可以想象这个价格可能还有一定的协商空间。

但这位年轻球星在两年前 Kylian Mbappe 加入皇家马德里时，实质上接替了他在 PSG 边路的位置。PSG 传奇球员 Javier Pastore 表示，Barcola（见下图）有一天也能达到 Mbappe 的水平。

尽管他的出场时间变得有限，但 Barcola 在上赛季法甲联赛中，每 90 分钟的预期进球和助攻数仅次于队友 Ousmane Dembele 和摩纳哥的

Ansu Pati。换句话说，他是一台制造机会的机器。

Barcola 出전에 了法国队在世界杯上的全部八场比赛，其中四场首发。他打入三个进球并贡献了 1 次助攻。

他在里昂青训期间，凭借速度以及对球的技巧和挑球动作，赢得了“la sauterelle”——意为“蚱蜢”的绰号，尽管他从未成为那种从触球那一刻起就被预定为超级巨星的世代级神童。

“他是个普通孩子，从未在高于自己年龄组的类别中比赛，从未跳级，”里昂前青训主管 Jean-Francois Vulliez 说道。“他的成熟是一个正常的过程。”

Barcola 在 8 岁时加入了里昂青训学院——该学院以培养 Alexandre Lacazette、Rayan Cherki 和 Karim Benzema 等球员而闻名——此前他在家乡俱乐部 AS Buers Villeurbanne 的一项室内赛事中被发掘。

Barcola 是六个孩子中的一个，他的哥哥 Malcolm 是一名门将，同样效力于里昂。他的母亲年轻时也踢过球。“是她给了我们这份激情，”Bradley 曾这样说道。

Barcola 和他的哥哥在客厅里观看母亲拍摄的比赛片段，周末，他们的父亲会带他们去当地体育场练习。

“我的父亲让 Bradley 在门前进行专项训练，而我作为门将……他也让我

进行训练，”Malcolm 告诉《Le Progres》。“我们互补得很好。”

然而，这一切差一点就没能实现。Barcola 在 Laurent Blanc 执教的里昂时，职业生涯一度停滞。他难以挤进一线队，教练们也能看出他在训练中不够努力。在 2023 年 1 月，他差一点就被外租。

但他们觉得他身上仍有潜力。而当队友 Karl Toko Ekambi 愤怒地走入球员通道时，

他是个真正的速度恶魔

BRADLEY BARCOLA 在上赛季的欧冠联赛中，其最高速度超过了利物浦的所有球员……

[[TABLE_HASH_PLACEHOLDER_03f8ccc5578b6ce6940b04541afd2840]]

在被换下场并遭到球迷嘲笑而愤怒地踢了一个垃圾桶后，Barcola 的机会来了。他在 2022-23 赛季末段攻入五个进球并贡献九次助攻，其中包括在王子公园球场对阵 PSG 时打入的制胜球，而 PSG 随后在那个夏天花费了 £40m 签下了当时 20 岁的他。你也可以理解为什么利物浦认为他非常合适。首先，他速度极快。Barcola 是上赛季欧冠联赛中第五快的球员，并且在

■ AJAX 正在尝试重新签回西汉姆联 (WEST HAM) 中场 Edson Alvarez。这家荷兰球队在 2023 年以 £35m 将 Alvarez 卖给了西汉姆联，俱乐部消息人士称，由于最初转会时的付款结构，他们仍有款项未收到。西汉姆联对这名 28 岁的球员开价约 £12.5m，他已经与 Ajax 总监 Jordi Cruyff 进行了交流。他上赛季在费内巴切租借，并入选了墨西哥世界杯代表队，但自离开阿姆斯特丹以来，他一直难以达到预期。皇家社会也对 Alvarez 感兴趣，但提出的是一个规模较小且有结构性的交易方案。 ■ 利兹 (LEEDS) 门将 Lucas Perri 预计将在 James Trafford（见下文）的交易完成后，以租借形式加入都灵，并附带买断选项。Trafford，23 岁，将在曼彻斯特城 (MANCHESTER CITY) 与利兹敲定一项预计为 £40m 的转会细节（包含 £5m 的附加费和分成条款）后，签署一份周薪约 £130,000 的合同。都灵和

世界杯中排名第七。纯粹的速度，尤其是前线上的速度，是利物浦极度缺乏的。Iraola 一直希望他的球队能尽可能快地将球向前推进。

伯恩茅斯上赛季在所有球队中发动最直接进攻的次数最多，反击得分数并列第一；而在 Iraola 执教的整个期间，他们的进攻速度（每秒 1.95 米）是所有英超球队中最快的，同时每回合的平均传球数排名第二低。Barcola 的速度将成为一个巨大的武器。

不仅如此，他不仅仅擅长后插上。Barcola 最喜欢的一招是在静止状态下将球拨过防守球员，然后将其远远甩在身后；甚至会飞奔回自己的球门接球，然后触球一次，转身过人，在眨眼之间完成突破。

他也不仅仅是一个死守边线的边锋。Barcola 经常向内切入通道，以便让 PSG 冲刺能力强的边后卫在他前方提供宽度。

由于在 17 岁之前一直担任前锋，Barcola 始终具有敏锐的进球嗅觉。在法甲联赛中，他每 90 分钟的带球射门次数在所有人中最高。尽管仅出场 1,750 分钟，他的 40 次带球射门仅次于出场近 2,500 分钟的 Mason Greenwood (43 次)。

他每 90 分钟通过公开比赛创造的 1.9 次机会在全联赛中也仅次于队友 Dembele 和 Lee Kang-In。他可以胜任两个边翼，正如他在欧冠 16 强赛两回合大胜切尔西的比赛中所展现的那样。

他在法甲的大部分射门和进球同样来自禁区内的中路位置。他具备传统前锋在进球、触球以及位置感这三项特质上的优势。

这同样符合伊拉奥拉（Iraola）的风格。插上的全背锋是伯恩茅斯战术计划的关键部分。在 2024-25 赛季，在去年夏天转会利物浦之前，米洛斯·克尔凯兹（Milos Kerkez）是该级别赛场上进攻性最强的后卫之一。

伊拉奥拉在发掘边锋潜力方面有着良好的记录，他的边锋更多地扮演内前锋的角色。安托万·塞门约（Antoine Semenyo）在他麾下大放异彩，而他在光辉瓦列卡诺（Rayo Vallecano）期间对伊西·帕拉宗（Isi Palazon）的调教也效果显著。

通过巴尔科拉（Barcola），他可能会获得另一个这样的球员。不过，这个人的价格可能会更高一些。

利兹联已就佩里（Perri）在下个赛季的初步租借协议达成一致。该交易还包括在明年夏天将其永久买断的选项。利兹联门将卡尔·达洛（Karl Darlow）和伊兰·梅斯利埃（Ilan Meslier）已离开丹尼尔·法克（Daniel Fark）的阵容，于今年夏天分别加盟曼彻斯特联（MANCHESTER UNITED）和阿森纳（ARSENAL）。他们仍希望引进另一名门将作为替补，并加强左后卫、进攻中场和前锋位置。■ 阿斯顿维拉（ASTON VILLA）边锋汤米·奥赖利（Tommi O'Reilly）正在洽谈租借加盟诺丁汉郡（NOTTS COUNTY）。这位 22 岁的球员原定于加盟谢菲尔德星期三（SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY），但维拉决定草场路（Meadow Lane）可能更适合他的发展。

Joao Pedro 对 Alonso 至关重要……但 Delap 表现欠佳

KIERAN GILL 发自悉尼 Accor 体育场

切尔西门将 Filip Jorgensen 远赴澳大利亚，结果在悉尼待了三天就返回家中，因为他正面临离开俱乐部的局面，最有可能前往 BlueCo 的姐妹俱乐部斯特拉斯堡。Liam Delap 虽然没有被送回家，但这位前锋在这个夏天也可能被出售，为 35. 岁的 Danny Welbeck 腾出空间。诺丁汉森林是 Delap 的仰慕者之一，不过这位 23 岁球员在昨天 6-4 击败西悉尼游骑兵的比赛中进入了 Xabi Alonso 的首发名单，这表明目前还没有迫在眉睫的转会。

无论如何，如果这是一个让 Delap 说服 Alonso 否决任何可能出现的转会机会，他并没有抓住。这位去年夏天从伊普斯维奇以 £30 million 转会而来的球员，在这场季前友谊赛中被切尔西的其他进攻球员掩盖了光芒，尤其是接替他位置的球员 —— Joao Pedro。Delap 在一小时后进入替补席，而由他领衔进攻与 Joao Pedro 领衔进攻之间的差距非常明显。这位 24 岁的巴西人看起来完全在另一个水平上。

在第 66 分钟，Joao Pedro 在钻入禁区后为 Jamie Gittens 提供了精妙的助攻。在第 80 分钟，他攻入首球。在第 85 分钟，他攻入第二球。在第 89 分钟，他完成了帽子戏法。难怪切尔西在今年夏天表明 Joao Pedro 被认为是不可触碰的。当然，巴塞罗那喜欢他。欧洲的每家俱乐部都应该认为他比他们现有的球员更优秀。但他哪儿也不会去 —— 而 Delap 可能会离开。

青少年之梦

两名 17 岁的球员 —— Ryan Kavuma-McQueen 和 Dastan Satpayev —— 共同完成了切尔西在此次比赛中六个进球中的第一个。这包括 Kavuma-McQueen 一个漂亮的转身并给 Satpayev 传球，后者的终结非常冷静。从技术上讲，Satpayev 在下个月年满 18 岁之前还不是切尔西的球员，但他作为“试训球员”参与了此次活动，并得到了其俱乐部哈萨克斯坦凯拉特足球俱乐部 (FC Kairat) 的许可以及父母的授权。Reggie Walsh, 17, 在 19 号位置上令人印象深刻，他在切尔西的第二个进球中与 Dario Essugo 完成了一次二过一配合。Landon Emenalo, 18, 在左后卫位置上高速边路推进。对这些孩子来说，这是一个很好的机会，在我看来，其中最优秀的是 Reggie Watson。这位 16 岁的球员在中场展现了强大的身体素质。当 Alonso 在一小时后换上九名替补时，Watson 是唯一留在场上的首发球员。

巴西人：Joao Pedro 迅速上演帽子戏法 GETTY IMAGES

这就很容易明白为什么切尔西对他如此兴奋。

GITTS 伤愈回归

GITTS 上个赛季过得很艰难。他的赛季基本上从 1 月份起就报废了，当时他出现腿后腱问题。然而，在 Alonso 的率领下，他现在已经在三场连续的友谊赛中取得进球 —— 包括在伦敦闭门击败 Crawley 和 Bromley 的比赛，以及这里对阵西悉尼游骑兵的比赛。我们可以看到这位左翼球员充满自信，他于去年 7 月加盟斯坦福桥。希望对他和切尔西而言，这位 21 岁的英格兰人能保持健康，享受一个更快乐的赛季。

中后卫接受考验

游骑兵队在 2025-26 赛季澳大利亚 A-League 中排名垫底，因此即使切尔西派遣了这么多年轻人，预计他们昨天也不会给切尔西制造太多麻烦。然而，游骑兵队全程的高位逼抢对 Alonso 来说可能是有帮助的。这考验了切尔西的防守队员，而由 Tosin Adarabioyo, 28, 和 Josh Acheampong, 20, 组成的中后卫搭档在控球时很少显得舒适。太多球直接传到了对手脚下，对方发现得分相当简单。例如，在游骑兵第 22 分钟打入第二球时，Acheampong 太容易被过掉。Aydam Hammond 晃过这位年轻后卫，随后将球轻轻推过门将 Teddy Sharman-Lowe 的身侧。

很多工作要做，奥斯汀

切尔西可能需要奥斯汀·麦克菲 (Austin MacPhee) 尽快从阿斯顿维拉加盟，成为他们新的定位球专家。流浪者队在死球状态下表现出了威胁，通过一次前点挑球，由后方的安东尼·潘塔佐普洛斯 (Anthony Pantazopoulos) 头球破门，将比分扳平至 1-1。

作者 乔纳森 麦克沃伊 (JONATHAN McEVOY)

现在再也没有人能否认，詹尼·因凡蒂诺 (Gianni Infantino) 和唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 对如何最好地服务于这项世界上最古老且最受欢迎的游戏有着骨子里的共同认同。

namely，即对金钱的追求。自从伊甸园的苹果掉落以来，这种追求一直被证明是一项持久且极具吸引力的运动，因此它与罪恶本身一样古老，而且作为一种消遣，它在今天危及并玷污现代足球的程度，比之前任何敛财的权贵所能想象的都要深。

天哪，其他人也曾努力污染体育。胡安·安东尼奥·萨马兰奇 (Juan Antonio Samaranch)，那个多年前将国际奥委会标榜的体育纯洁名声出卖掉的西班牙老法西斯，曾给它来了一次猛推。

这位自封为“阁下”的人据说在以推进现代奥运会创始人皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦 (Pierre de Coubertin) 所设愿景的名义提供服务时没有领取薪水。但在谄媚的、由豪华轿车接送的宏大场面中，他将自己的遗产出卖给了那些质疑且反对以确保全球青年拥有公平竞争环境为核心伦理的廷臣。

全球青年！哈，如果你愿意这么说的话。奥运赞美诗，开幕式上的白鸽，运动员代表其竞争对手以诚实竞争之名所宣誓的誓言。

想象中在当选公职中丑化体育最露骨的企图

这在很大程度上是那些心怀好意但被收买的骗子在背地里交叉手指时最适合说出的话。

唉，我们已经习惯了这种胡言乱语，这种现实在公众认知中的臭名昭著达到了顶峰——当时本·约翰逊 (Ben Johnson) 在首尔跑得像个神一样，结果被揭穿他并不完全是我们希望的那种挑战时钟的神灵。

兰斯·阿姆斯特朗 (Lance Armstrong)、东德的国家资助兴奋剂计划、西班牙的富恩特斯 (Fuentes) 药物丑闻，名单还可以继续延伸。事实上，板球的奠基人 WG 格雷斯 (WG Grace) 在维多利亚时代对投机取巧的行为并不陌生。正如我们所说的，这与罪恶本身一样古老，远在德克萨斯州骗子艾伦·斯坦福 (Allen Stanford) 承诺给板球带来巨额且不义之财之前，也远在 LIV 高尔夫的积累者们带着由中东竞争对手资助的扭曲贪婪登上舞台之前。

体育从内部被诋毁是根深蒂固的。

然而，我们仍必须谴责这最新且前所未有、在范围上极具野心的消息：因凡蒂诺实际上将世界杯本身摆在台面上，向最高出价者出售。

而他作为 FIFA（足球世界管理机构及其所谓的保证人）负责人的首席当选职责，本应是保护这项运动的真理免受恶意投机者的侵害。

这是在想象中，在当选公职中丑化体育最露骨且最厚颜无耻的伏击。

回到特朗普，以及他最近给居住在摩纳哥的因凡蒂诺打的电话，那代表了一个在很大程度上成功的世界杯的最低点。现在一切都清楚了。

我们谈论的是特朗普在成功干预推翻美国前锋 弗拉林 (Folarin) 时，滴进因凡蒂诺耳中的那个词。

足球界必须团结起来，反对因凡蒂诺将世界杯摆上货架的无耻企图

巴洛贡被自动禁赛一场。政治中立本是国际足联（FIFA）不可或缺的条件，如今却被抛之脑后。

因凡蒂诺荒谬地声称：“潜在的误判红黄牌，或随后在某些情况下决定不禁赛球员的情况，在全球一些最大的联赛中是常规且被广泛接受的。奇怪的是，采用这些做法的国家正是那些在指责的国家。”

特朗普对对其干预的批评嗤之以鼻。“我很了解体育，”这位总统夸夸其谈，同时在椭圆形办公室承认，他不知道红牌及其对不可协商禁令的含义意味着什么。

因凡蒂诺本周加倍反击，认为：“对于那些躲在笔纸后面、屏幕后面传播仇恨和谣言的人，我想说，当你们坐在后面时，我们在国际足联处于一线进行组织、努力工作，并呈现世界上最精彩的演出。我们没有经历暴力，没有事故，100 per cent 的安全与保障，只有欢乐与幸福。”

谢谢你，詹尼。现在可以将这些点连接起来了。谁正准备成为这项向私人投资者出售世界杯股份计划的主要投资者？正是约书亚·库什纳，他是特朗普亲戚贾里德的兄弟，也是将世界杯带到美国的关键煽动者。

特朗普与因凡蒂诺——后者给了前者一个从未颁发过且可能永远不会再次颁发的虚假和平奖奖章——两人沆瀣一气，因此他们互捧对方。美国摩根大通银行（JPMorgan）也被提及为愿意入股的持有者。

在因凡蒂诺的方案下，将成立一家公司来控制男足世界杯、女足世界杯和俱乐部世界杯。这就将我们带到了关于金钱的问题，以及因凡蒂诺将通过他的这个构想获得多少收益。

所有体育机构的负责人都会深思这个问题，即他们的个人财富。他们赚不到像那些明星运动员（大多为男性）在他们（管理者）所“服务”的体育运动中那样多。

这种差距令人心烦。他们希望尽可能地富有，并寻求实现这一目标的途径。

因此，据了解，因凡蒂诺在 2031, 年国际足联主席任期届满后，将担任他新世界杯秩序的“专员”，这将使他有可能每年赚取 £37.5million，比他目前的工资增加了约十倍。他

欧足联（UEFA）的声明

“这跨越了足球管理机构永远不应跨越的底线。欧足联对此极其重视。每个国家足球协会和每个利益相关者也应如此：联赛、俱乐部、球员、支持者、政府以及每个关心这项运动未来的人。足球的灵魂和治理并非可交易的资产——尤其是对于谁在财务上获益完全不透明的情况下。‘我们中没有人是足球的所有者。它不属于国际足联，不能被出售。’”

欧洲国家若计划继续实施‘可能会抵制’

《泰晤士报》称，这将成为该运动的一枚“核弹”。另一位观点认为，这将“比欧洲超级联赛糟糕得多”。经常批评国际足联（FIFA）和因凡蒂诺的欧足联（UEFA）表示：“这跨越了足球管理机构永远不应跨越的底线。足球的灵魂和治理并非可以交易的资产——尤其是关于谁在经济上获益完全缺乏透明度。我们谁都不是足球的所有者。它不属于国际足联，不能由其出售。”天空新闻（Sky）报道称，如果因凡蒂诺强推该计划，欧洲国家可能会抵制世界杯。他们准备在本周召开紧急会议，讨论应对方案。首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）也反应强烈，他在推特上写道：“让我直接地说明这一点。足球不属于投资者。它属于那些无论风雨，每周都填满看台、站在场边的人们。世界杯不是一件产品。它是世界体育界最伟大的赛事，从来不属于任何人可以出售。无论你如何美化这项交易，一旦你出卖了其中的一部分，你就是背叛。”所有 211 个会员协会将持有公司总额 20 per cent 的股份，每份股份价值 £25m。这一数字超过了许多协会的年收入，且他们将拥有出售股份以筹集资金的选项。国际足联将保留多数股权，而私人投资者将能够持有少数股权。国际足联确认计划成立一个名为“FIFA Forward Enterprise”的机构，并将其描述为“整合国际足联商业和赛事运营的受控子公司”。

齐达内如愿以偿获得法国队主帅之职

齐内丁·齐达内（ZINEDINE ZIDANE）于昨日被确认成为法国队新任主教练。

这位 54 岁的教练签署了一份为期四年的合同，接替他曾在尤文图斯和法国队共事的队友迪迪埃·德尚（Didier Deschamps）。德尚在世界杯期间结束了他在“高卢雄鸡” 14 年的执教生涯，在那届赛事中，他的球队在半决赛中 2-0 负于最终冠军西班牙队。随后，他们在三四名决赛中 6-4 负于英格兰队。

齐达内的亮相仪式于昨日上午在巴黎的法国足球协会总部举行，法国足协主席菲利普·迪亚洛（Philippe Diallo）陪同出席。

这是齐达内自 2021 年离开皇家马德里后首次重返管理岗位。他透露，在此期间他拒绝了其他邀请，因为他在等待成为法国队主帅这个“梦想”实现。

“法国队是我唯一想做的事情，”齐达内告诉记者。“我一直是以未来教练的眼光来看待这支球队。正因如此，我没有接受任何俱乐部的执教工作。”

“离开马德里后，我唯一想做的事情就是执教法国队。”德尚在执教期间带领球队在 185 场比赛中取得了 120 场胜利，指引法国队夺得 2018 年世界杯冠军、2020-21 赛季欧国联冠军，并闯入 2016 年欧洲杯和 2022 年世界杯的决赛。

他与齐达内曾是队友，共同见证了法国队在主场夺得 1998 年世界杯冠军。齐达内在那次胜利中发挥了关键作用，

在决赛 3-0 战胜巴西的比赛中梅开二度，并在当年荣获金球奖。

“你们很快就会看到我的球队风格，”齐达内说道。他还曾帮助法国队夺得 2000 年欧洲杯冠军，并为国家队出战 108 场，打入 31 球并贡献 29 次助攻。

“我是由比赛驱动的。我曾是一名 10, 号球员，驱动我的就是进球。”

“1998 年的夺冠是我人生中发生过的最美好的事情，与我的队友们一起获胜。我花了四五年的时间等待那一天的到来。我很激动；虽然你们看不出来，但我非常兴奋。我很开心。”

迪亚洛透露，在德尚表示将在 2026 年美国、加拿大和墨西哥世界杯后卸任后，与齐达内的谈判于去年 2 月开始。

“这是一个非凡的时刻，因为坐在我身边的人而变得非凡，”迪亚洛说。

“齐内丁是法国足球的传奇人物之一，多年来他一直说，他的梦想之一就是执掌法国队。”

“我想感谢迪迪埃及其团队的工作。 14 年来，他带领法国队登上了顶峰。”

齐达内执教的首场比赛将于 9 月 25. 在客场对阵土耳其的欧国联赛事。意大利和比利时也在同一个小组。

Mancini 重掌意大利队帅印

ROBERTO MANCINI 已被重新任命为意大利队主教练。

这位前曼城主帅在五年前带领意大利队夺得欧洲冠军杯，在国家足球协会 (FIGC) 经历了一个动荡的 24 小时后重新回归。

意大利队此前一直在寻找 Gennaro Gattuso 的继任者，后者在蓝衣军团连续第三届未能进入世界杯后于 4 月离职。

在 Pep Guardiola 拒绝该职位后，Andrea Pirlo 曾是热门人选，但周一，这位前尤文图斯和 AC 米兰中场表示，由于关于他与一家俄罗斯博彩公司关系的争议，他已不再在考虑之列。

这导致新任技术总监 Paolo Maldini 及其顾问 Leonardo 在就职仅几天后便离职。FIGC 主席 Giovanni Malago 昨天宣布 Claudio Ranieri 将接替 Maldini。

Malago 在新闻发布会上表示：“此前已经达成一致的一位候选人是由 Maldini 和 Leonardo 选择的，但在 Pirlo 与俄罗斯博彩机构合作的情况曝光后，我无法给予最终批准。” “关于这件事没有其他可说的了。没有冲突

作者：DAVID KENT

[与 Maldini 之间]，没有争议，只有失望。

“这是一个独特的突发情况，我们一致同意应当分开。时间紧迫，我觉得 Mancini 应该出任教练。”

Mancini 在 2018 和 2023, 之间执教意大利队，带领球队在 2021 年欧洲冠军杯决赛中击败英格兰队，但未能进入 2022 世界杯。

他在 2023 年争议性地离职，接管沙特阿拉伯国家队，最近执教于卡塔尔的 Al-Sadd 俱乐部。

Giorgio Chietini 曾被传为 Maldini 的潜在继任者，但最终接任该职位的是资深的前莱斯特城和罗马主帅 Ranieri。

Pirlo 担任俄罗斯博彩公司 Fonbet 全球大使的身份，引发了部分 FIGC 官员和政治家对其任命的反对。

Pirlo 曾在 2006, 随意大利队夺得世界杯冠军，他在社交媒体上为自己辩护道：“将这种安排赋予政治含义，意味着将我从未表达过且不属于我的信念强加于我。”

Infantino 出售世界杯股份计划引发公愤 —— 此举可能为 FIFA 主席带来数百万收益

作者：WILL PICKWORTH

欧足联 (UEFA) 对 FIFA 泄露的出售世界杯股份计划发起了猛烈抨击 —— 这一举动可能会让 FIFA 主席 Gianni Infantino 赚到数百万美元。

昨天披露的消息令英足总 (FA) 措手不及，FIFA 主席 Infantino 正考虑将赛事的部分份额出售给私人投资者并成立一家公司，这笔交易价值可能高达 £15billion。

报告补充称，如果该计划获得批准，Infantino 每年可获利超过 $50million (£37.5million)，并可能导致世界杯规模扩大或举办频率高于每四年一次。

据称，美国摩根大通银行 (JPMorgan) 正在处理该流程，且据了解唐纳德·特朗普政府已参与咨询。

该提案在整个足球界引起了广泛批评，一名消息人士告诉

我的大部分短途旅行是从星期五下班后开始的。我完美的度假周通常始于星期六。但

星期日突然看起来成了选择价格实惠酒店住宿的完美日子。

仅限星期日的特价房正在全国各地出现。这些特价旨在帮助酒店填补通常最冷清的夜晚。除了极具吸引力的价格，它们通常还伴随着升级的机会：比如抵达时的一杯起泡酒，以及悠闲的星期一早晨早餐。

其中有三项夏季优惠吸引了我的注意：一个在坎特伯雷，第二个在科茨沃尔德，第三个在伦敦。

时尚之选 (STYLISH)

第一个优惠来自精品酒店专家 MrandMrsSmith.com。

入住坎特伯雷 (Canterbury) 时尚的法尔斯塔夫酒店 (Falstaff hotel)，体验一座 15 世纪驿站旅馆的全面蜕变。

欢迎鸡尾酒是每间房 £109 的周日特惠的一部分，可在橡木梁酒吧或户外露台享用。

坎特伯雷本身是一个被严重低估的度假胜地，这里有美丽大教堂中的谋杀故事和死亡纪念墓 (memento mori tombs)、河流上的乘船之旅，以及比尼之家博物馆 (Beaney House museum) 中原装的 Bagnuss 和 Clangers 模型。

需要稍作停留？这座城市的鹦鹉酒吧 (Parrot pub) 自 1370 年起就开始供应啤酒，而旧监狱和警察局现在则变成了 The Pound 餐厅。

在科茨沃尔德 (Cotswolds)，Greene King 在 Rising Sun 酒店提供周日入住优惠，该酒店是这家酿酒商旗下的众多带客房酒吧之一。它位于切尔滕纳姆 (Cheltenham) 市外，周日入住起价为每房 £50 —— 且能让你置身于该地区最高的山丘之一，俯瞰五个郡的风景。

在附近的萨德利城堡与花园 (Sudeley Castle and Gardens) 可以探索 1,000 多年的皇室历史，或者在国家信托 (National Trust) 的切德沃思罗马别墅 (Chedworth Roman Villa) 的马赛克装饰中追溯更久远的时光。然后，在喷气机时代博物馆 (Jet Age Museum) 参加免费的驾驶舱参观，快步追随现代科技。

回到 Rising Sun 酒店，一些幸运的客人可以入住带有四柱床的房间。每个人都能享用到丰盛的周一早晨早餐，从全英式早餐到酪乳煎饼或牛油果吐司不等。

在丽兹酒店 (AT THE RITZ)

伦敦最引人注目的周日特惠需要更深层的财力……因为那是丽兹酒店 (Ritz hotel)。

预订其“纯粹周日” (Simply Sunday) 优惠方案，礼遇从路易 XVI 风格卧室里的一瓶香槟开始。在酒店的米其林二星餐厅享用三道菜晚宴也是套餐的一部分。周一早晨则以床上或在奢华的丽兹餐厅享用的免费早餐开始。

每间卧室 £1,391 的价格绝非廉价住宿。但由于在丽兹酒店享用晚餐每对夫妇很容易花费 £500（且早餐有 £46 的最低消费），这个周日优惠方案在勉强看来，或许像是一笔划算的交易。

削减成本

将目光投向更远的地方，我发现了其他几种可以降低度假成本的方法。

第一种是利用夏季末出乎意料的别墅度假优惠。像 CV Villas 这样的公司正在提供 9 月价格 20 到 50 百分比的折扣，包括尼斯附近的 Bastide Splendide 别墅。组织一个团体填满全部 5 间卧室，每人的周价将降至 £821。

独自旅行者也不必错过。Cook's Club 集团正为独自度假的人提供深度折扣，使其更容易

精彩之行：（从上到下）坎特伯雷的 Great Stour 运河；Falstaff 酒店的橡木梁酒吧；尼斯附近的 Bastide Splendide 别墅；里兹酒店的一间套房

享受单人使用的宽敞大双人间。

Cook's Club 在希腊、土耳其和埃及的每个低层度假胜地都为客人提供了充足的活动空间。但他们也让社交变得简单，提供泳池边的开胃酒服务、引导式徒步旅行、小团体健康课程以及沙滩上的 DJ 环节。

最近的游客表示，这里是风格与社交的完美结合。而且如果你能以更低的价格享受其中，那就更神奇了。

法国的水路为何有如此之多的粉丝，不难理解。选择一次穿越该国的河 cruise，你可以在阿尔勒追随凡高的足迹，在吉维尼欣赏克劳德·莫奈的水写莲。

你可以在巴黎这座光明与爱之都游览，在里昂观看罗马遗迹，并在鲁昂探索哥特式的壮丽以及围绕在圣女贞德周围的传说。

法国河 cruise 的粉丝们谈到在翁弗勒等美丽港口小镇漫步的慵懒时光，以及感受诺曼底海滩的历史与情感。他们热爱航行至阿维尼翁的宏伟宫殿、普罗旺斯的薰衣草田以及尼斯的迷人魅力。

关键行程中还包括点缀着城堡和

神奇的国家： 上图为诺曼底的翁弗勒港；右图为夜晚的里昂索纳河

古堡的风景，以及在勃艮第和博若莱最佳葡萄生长地品酒的机会。

拆包放松

通过河流参观所有这些景点及更多景观，让你能够享受度假的其他重大好处。你只需拆包一次，然后随着船只蜿蜒驶向每个新港口而安顿下来。

你经常在距离每个主要景点仅几步之遥的地方停靠。而且通过像 Emerald 这样的公司，你每天都能享用到绝佳的美食、精选的葡萄酒以及多样化的创意远足。

这些活动可能包括绘画和摄影工作坊、葡萄园引导徒步、塞纳河皮划艇划行、特制的普罗旺斯餐食等。

绝美港口

沿着塞纳河、索讷河和罗讷河的法国河 cruise 航程，始发和终结于各种绝美的港口。Emerald 的顶级选择是从里昂（也许是欧洲新的美食之都）出发，前往阿尔勒、尼斯或马赛等地。

此外，还提供从交通便利的巴黎出发的往返航程（包含所有飞往目的地的航班及前往船只的接送服务）。

如果您想探索更多，可以选择 Emerald 的法国河 cruise 度假产品，它们将带您前往瑞士山区、日内瓦、苏黎世、布达佩斯和波尔图。12月甚至有一场从里昂出发的特别“节日感官”（Festive Sensations）航程。

这不过是深度享受法兰西之美（la belle France）——以及顶尖河 cruise 体验的另一种方式。

不要错过 - 请致电我们的 cruise 专家 0161 768 7502 | 访问 emerald.cruises

开放式厨房的厨师将美食与火焰结合，而画廊级别的照片则装饰在墙上。

静谧之美

Gran Hotel Taoro 的另一个巨大吸引力在于它位于特内里费岛北部最安静且游客最少的地区之一。

蜿蜒的小径和公共花园从大堂延伸至拉斯克鲁塞斯港（Puerto de la Cruz），在那里，当地的老人们在棕榈树下下棋，您可以地在黄金时代的植物园中穿越时空。

这里还有马丁内斯湖（Lago Martianez）水上花园，由加那利群岛最著名的艺术家塞萨尔·曼里克（César Manrique）在 1970 年代设计。

您可以一边在中央主湖中享受日光浴，一边欣赏曼里克标志性的金属雕塑在风中扭动。然后，在六个多咸水泳池之一中游泳，四周则是拍打在海洋围墙上的浪花。

前往探索

这家酒店也是探索特内里费岛（Tenerife）那些鲜有游客涉足之地的绝佳起点。

工作人员已与 Tenique Outdoor 的当地导游建立了独家合作，老板 Roberto Martin 随时准备为家庭或好友团体定制一日游行程。

近期的访客们对这次体验赞不绝口：他们是泰德峰（Mount Teide）最佳观景台上的唯一游客，也是在那些微小的家庭经营酒庄里享用加那利群岛美食（包括红酒面包、皱皮土豆和浓郁的加那利炖肉 Puchero Canario）的唯一英语使用者。

随后，回到这家特内里费岛焕发新生且享有盛名的顶级酒店露台，在日落时分饮酒小憩——或许还能在“克里斯蒂房间”（The Christie Room）寻找一些文学灵感，那里展示了她的所有小说，并为当今的作家准备了一张写字台。

翻修工作耗时 50 年，耗资近 £50 million。但在经历了五十年的停滞之后，西班牙的第一座豪华酒店在特内里费岛重新开业，且开业风格极其华丽。

Gran Hotel Taoro 酒店于 1890 年首次迎客，紧随其姐妹酒店——伦敦的萨伏伊酒店（Savoy）和蒙特卡洛的都会酒店（Hotel Metropole）之后。西班牙国王是早期的客人们之一，随后是欧洲最显赫的家族以及大部分英国贵族。

几十年后，另一位名客办理了入住。这家优雅的加那利群岛酒店是阿加莎·克里斯蒂（Agatha Christie）在 1927 年婚姻破裂时寻求避风港的地方。在酒店花园中放松身心并探索火山海岸后，她获得了灵感，创作了包括《来自大海的人》（The Man from the Sea）在内的短篇小说。

更妙的是，她在这里构思并完成了《青色列车之谜》（The Mystery of the Blue Train），这是她最著名的“旅行黄金时代”推理小说之一。

绝美融合

如今，全面翻新的 Gran Hotel 酒店是古老气息、现代感与低调奢华的结合体。酒店坐落在普埃尔托-德-拉克鲁斯（Puerto de la Cruz）上方的一座火山峭壁顶端，出租车将客人们送至那片郁郁葱葱的花园边缘，而当年克里斯蒂就在这里苦思她的故事情节。

GRAND HOTEL, MAGNIFICENT SETTING：从上方起顺时针方向，背景为泰德峰的 Gran Hotel Taoro；普埃尔托-德-拉克鲁斯的马丁内斯湖（Lago Martianez）上的棕榈树；酒店的 OKA 餐厅；冷色调且轻松的酒店大堂。

当你走近大堂时，巨大的玻璃门会自动滑开。这里的海洋景观令人惊叹。当我们向西眺望大西洋时，接待员开玩笑说：“下一站就是美国了。”

日落时分的饮品是另一项享受，大堂酒吧延伸至一个宽敞、漫长且摆满沙发的露台上，那里供应着带有泡沫花饰的桃色贝尔尼（peach bellini）鸡尾酒。

客房和套房延续了原酒店的奢华格局，拥有宽大的浴室、大量的当地艺术品，以及海洋、花园或火山的混合景观。

在三个可俯瞰火山的无边泳池边，时光悠然地流逝。池畔的 La Carola 餐厅是享用沙拉、金枪鱼吐司、巴斯克 cheesecake 以及冰镇当地葡萄酒的绝佳场所。

地下水疗中心提供护理服务、户外普拉提和景观健身房，而夜晚则是米其林星级美食登场之时。

酒店宾客可以与当地人一起前往由西班牙最受瞩目的日本主厨掌舵、屡获殊荣的 OKA 餐厅。或者在 Lava 餐厅沉浸于特内里费岛的火山遗产之中，在那里，戏剧化的

当你走近大堂时，巨大的玻璃门会自动滑开。而这里的海洋景观令人惊叹。

■ 您探索极地地区已有 24 年。格陵兰岛有什么特别之处？ 这是一个美丽而残酷的极地地区：崎岖、广袤，且人们在这里生存数千年的方式非常精妙。其丰富的文化同样令人赞叹。我喜欢看到旅行者们学习当今格陵兰人如何让古老传统延续至今。

■ 格陵兰岛是世界上最后几大荒野地区之一。什么最能给游客留下深刻印象？ 在同一视野中看到冰川与绿色景观是非常美丽的；而格陵兰南部、东部和北部的巨大冰山在北半球是无与伦比的。格陵兰的规模也让客人感到惊讶，特别是在努克 (Nuuk) 和卡纳克 (Qaanaaq) 之间，或者在峡湾中航行数小时，离开一个定居点后，可能直到第二天才能看到下一个。

Karin Strand，HX Expeditions 远征发展副总裁，谈论色彩斑斓的格陵兰岛、无尽的峡湾以及担任远征船教母的经历

美丽而残酷： 格陵兰岛的巨大冰山在北半球无出其右

■ 我们在格陵兰岛能看到什么样的野生动物？ 东部有鲸鱼、麝牛和北极兔。在东部或极西北部，如果您运气好，可能会看到北极熊。■ 远征邮轮与传统邮轮有何不同？ 传统邮轮在固定时间前往固定地点。您走上人造码头，前往城镇和城市。在远征邮轮上，我们精简了这些。我们在天气允许时抵达，现场更改计划，在海滩或岩石上登陆。我们在没有道路或永久人类基础设施的自然中行走。■ 远征团队起什么作用？ 他们通过讲座、岸上解读和公民科学工作，帮助客人了解我们穿行的自然环境。■ 被任命为 MS Roald Amundsen 船的教母感觉如何？ 这是一个荣誉，我至今仍不敢相信！这个角色让我与这艘船在我的余生或船的寿命期间建立了联系。我也很喜欢在每个圣诞节给船员们送礼物并向他们问候。

计划一次宏大的、清单上的梦想假期并不总是那么容易。因此，许多人更倾向于将这项任务交给他人——而跟团游正因此而蓬勃发展。

在跟团游中，旅游专业人士和当地专家的组合提前制定了完美的行程。他们确保游客能在正确的时间出现在一个国家必须参观的每个景点。酒店、交通、导游、信息和远足活动均已安排妥当。

行程中还可包含许多轻松且社交化的团体用餐，这就是为什么跟团游对于单身旅行者、情侣和朋友一样适用。

海量建议

最重要的是，跟团度假全程有领队在侧，随时准备提供建议或在需要调整时（在国内办公室工作人员的帮助下）解决问题。

HOLIDAYS

Escorted tours promise all the sights and none of the stress

halfway through the trip. Fans say that it all adds up to the perfect holiday: one that's adventurous but fully supported, and that's intrepid but also impeccably organised.

Escorted-tour experts such as Sunspot offer holidays to hard-to-reach spots such as Peru, where getting to Machu Picchu in an escorted group is far easier than doing so on your own.

It's the same in Cambodia, where

GUIDED TO THE SIGHTS: Machu Picchu, Peru, above; the Doge's Palace in Venice, left

escorted tours take guests to the heart of the jungle at Angkor Wat and into the heart of the city in Phnom Penh.

Japan is another country that's rising up the must-see charts but where language barriers can make it challenging to explore independently. Sunspot's escorted tours allow you to see Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Miyajima Island and many more besides.

观赏名胜

合适的跟团游在离家较近的地方也能带来不一样的体验。

在欧洲最繁忙的地区，您可能需要提前数周预订顶级景点，例如巴黎的卢浮宫、威尼斯的总督府和阿姆斯特丹的安妮·弗兰克之家。

但在跟团游中，定时门票可以是您假期的一部分——因此您可以欣赏所有风景而无需承担压力。

有些家庭度假是普通的假期，而有些家庭度假则无需任何人妥协。在切郡 (Cheshire) 1,000 英亩起伏的乡村景色中的 Carden Park，其魔力在于它能让人们同时感受到奢华的成年氛围和极佳的随性轻松。

这里精致而不刻板，尽享而不过分，并拥有足够的体验，让祖父母、父母、青少年和小探险家们从早餐到就寝时间都能快乐地度过。

多代同游正迎来应有的关注时刻，而 Carden Park 完美地领会了这一需求。该度假村拥有充足的空间、设施和令人愉悦的氛围，让共同旅行变得毫不费力。而对于那些

作者：Katie Bowditch

喜欢在乡村逃离之旅中加入一点友好竞争的人来说，户外活动是最大的亮点。

每个人都能享受的艺术

激光射击提供了所有乡村庄园的戏剧感，而不需要奥运级别的瞄准力。想象一下宏伟的环境、阵阵笑声，以及一种注定会在晚餐时再次被提起的一场良性竞争。

这里是为您修正后的完整翻译，已确保所有数值（包括 29, 2026）准确无误地包含在内：

Carden 园内还提供射箭、投斧、攀岩墙、山地自行车、Segway 越野之旅以及 Vertigo 极速挑战：这是一款为那些追求更高视野、热爱新鲜空气的宾客量身定制的高空冒险体验。而对于那些被近期在皇家比克代尔（Royal Birkdale）举行的公开赛激起球兴的高尔夫球手来说，这里还有两座冠军级高尔夫球场可供尝试。

满足所有人的需求：Carden Park 坐落在 1,000 英亩的土地上，拥有无尽的空间供您放松身心；奢华套房为您的一天画上完美句点

与此同时，一次完美的逃离需要在一天结束时拥有一个绝佳的休憩之所。这里的奢华套房正满足此需求：空间宽敞，风格时尚且极具舒适感，室内设计流露着优雅之气，却绝不过分堆砌。

巨大的窗户将庄园的景色框入其中，包括尼克劳斯高尔夫球场和前花园，这让您面临一个“甜蜜的烦恼”：是再次出门探索，还是留在房内舒适地欣赏风景。

健康之艺

寻求宁静的成年人将在 Carden 水疗中心（The Spa at Carden）找到心之所向，这里是度假村最令人心往的景点之一。这里本身就是一个目的地：一个设计精美的身心健康避风港，室内热疗体验、室外热水浴缸、花园舱、放松室和水疗餐饮在此汇聚，营造出一种真正的仪式感。

水疗花园极其精美，拥有沸腾的泳池、全天候休闲空间和宁静的乡村景色，让您能毫不费力地关掉生活的喧嚣。这是一次值得细细品味并铭记的高端水疗体验。

从悠长的护理疗程到温水的惬意时刻，从静谧的角落到滋养的餐饮，每一个细节都在鼓励您完全慢下来。无论您选择一日游、下午茶还是黄昏体验，Carden 水疗中心都增添了一层恢复活力的奢华感，让宾客们心向往之，渴望再次光临。

餐饮选择以多样化为核心。Redmond's Brasserie 走轻松路线，而 The Vines 则凭借三朵 AA 花朵（AA Rosettes）提供更精致的用餐体验。再加上酒吧、下午茶以及一个生产起泡酒的葡萄园，您一定能找到完美的饕餮体验。

最好的奢华度假村能让生活变得更简单，而这正是 Carden Park 的闪光之处。它既足够体面以应对特殊场合，又足够轻松以接纳儿童，同时多样性极强，足以让每一代人都设计出自己的完美假期。

无论您是为了水疗、套房、户外冒险而来，还是仅仅想在美丽的地方与家人团聚，这座位于切郡（Cheshire）的庄园都能提供一种让您在离开时就已经开始计划下次行程的逃逸感。

家庭关注

夏季已至，Carden Park 提供了丰富的活动来创造持久的美好回忆。这意味着宽敞的家庭房、一个 20 米长的室内恒温游泳池、电影室、室内游戏以及来自 Pursuits 活动中心的更多项目。在暑假期间，酒店宾客可专属使用活动手环。它提供了大量能吸引所有年龄段儿童的娱乐项目，对于无法参与其他 Carden Park 活动的年幼宾客来说尤其理想。

Carden Park 拥有宽阔的空间、完善的设施和愉悦的氛围，让家庭共同旅行变得轻松惬意

£40bn ... cost of 'Net Zero' by end of the decade

THE cost of green energy initiatives will reach more than £40 billion per year by the end of a decade, a report has revealed.

The total spent on eco policies has risen by six times since 2010, a study said - and the hikes are driving up bills. Electricity subsidies have risen from £0.5 billion in 2010/11 to £11.8 billion in 2024/25 and are forecast to reach £14.9 billion by 2030/31, it added.

Grid integration costs have increased from £2.8 billion to £8 billion over the same period and are projected to rise sharply to £25.3 billion by 2030/31.

Taken together, these costs have grown six-fold since 2010/11 to £19.8 billion in 2024/25 and are forecast to

By Claire Elliott Whitehall Editor

exceed £40 billion annually by 2030/31 - equivalent to more than £1,400 per household, the Prosperity Institute report found. Energy researcher David Turver said: 'These extra costs are not sustainable and run the risk of creating an economic catastrophe.'

'Drastic action is therefore required to roll back these hidden charges and bring electricity costs down. The Government can no longer treat energy bills as a cash cow to be milked to fund their dreams of achieving Net Zero.'

He called for the Climate Change Act

to be repealed, renewable subsidies to be ended and contracts with renewable providers to be renegotiated.

But a Department for Energy Security and Net Zero spokesman hit back: 'We do not recognise these figures, which ignore the savings clean homegrown power will bring.'

Meanwhile, Maurice Cousins of Net Zero Watch said: 'Britain's high energy costs are not simply the result of recent geopolitical shocks, but the cumulative consequence of decisions taken by successive governments over two decades.'

'The full burden of the energy system has been deliberately obscured by dispersing it across different charging mechanisms and schemes.'

PM to hold talks with Kemi and Davey over social care reform ...but snubs Farage

By Jason Groves Political Editor

ANDY Burnham will launch cross-party talks on social care reform today after claims his proposed 'death tax' could cost his own constituent's up to £50,000 each.

The PM has invited Tory leader Kemi Badenoch to discuss the issue - despite her warning that the £18 billion cost should be funded by spending cuts, not new taxes.

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has also been invited for talks, but Nigel Farage has been snubbed.

Reform UK last night released analysis claiming that Mr Burnham's long-cherished plan for a 10 per cent 'social care levy' on all inheritances could cost homeowners in his Makerfield constituency £50,000 each. The Prime Minister has

Apprentice farce PAGES 6-9

identified social care reform as one of his top priorities.

In a speech at a care home in London today, he will pledge to 'put everything I've got' into finding a solution to the crisis, saying it can no longer be dismissed as 'too risky, too difficult and too complicated'.

Louise Casey launched a social care review last year.

'You must rule out tax rises'

But critics said the timetable set by Keir Starmer appeared to be designed to kick the issue into the long grass again. Mr Burnham is expected to ask Baroness Casey to accelerate her work. The crossbench peer will today announce a 'Big Conversation on care' to canvass views from the public and experts. Critics have already dubbed it the 'death tax'.

Mrs Badenoch and Sir Ed have both indicated they are willing to take part in cross-party talks. But funding any reform is likely to remain a major stumbling block.

In a letter to the PM, Mrs Badenoch said: 'The money must be found by reducing current spending. You must rule out any tax rises or increased borrowing that will ultimately fall on the next generation to pay for.'

Mr Burnham has suggested he wants social care incorporated into the NHS as part of a national care service which would be free at the point of use. And he has consistently called for the introduction of a new social care levy.

During the Makerfield

by-election he said: 'I know there's a great resentment about inheritance tax, so actually just, you know, take that away perhaps, and look at a care levy.'

Reform UK said Mr Burnham's plan could cost homeowners in his Makerfield constituency £50,000 each.

Average house prices in the Greater Manchester constituency are just under £200,000. But official estimates suggest property accounts for 40 per cent of a household's wealth, meaning a mortgage-free homeowner could be worth around £500,000.

Reform's Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick said: 'Burnham is considering imposing a universal death tax, in a move that would cost his average constituent a whopping £50,000, just as they are grieving at the loss of a loved one. He has no mandate whatsoever to raid people's precious savings.'

Baroness Casey said: 'The choice is whether we keep putting money into a system that is unfair, unpredictable and broken, or have an honest conversation about how to build something better.'

Last night it emerged that a new tax on income was being considered by officials to fund the reform, where workers would be required to make mandatory contributions to a privately managed fund to pay for their care later in life.

Sartorial surgery: Nicolas looks suave with Hannah Waddingham in LA

Is that really the same man? Hannah’s NHS surgeon boyfriend looks more like 007!

Showbusiness Correspondent

AS A hard-working orthopaedic surgeon, it’s likely that he rarely has time to even consider his appearance.

With his workplace attire appearing to feature an off-the-rack shirt and tie – complete with staff lanyard and gelled hair – Hannah Waddingham’s boyfriend Nicolas Beresford-Cleary could have gone unnoticed in any office.

But his fresh romance with the glamorous Ted Lasso star has clearly given him a new-found Hollywood-style glow.

And giving off some James Bond vibes on Monday, Mr Beresford-Cleary, 46, really looked the part as he posed with the British actress at the Los Angeles premiere of the comedy drama’s fourth season.

In a pair of £166 dark green and brown Armani aviator sunglasses and a white shirt and cream linen suit – with £149 Loake brown loafers to set it off – his new look was a world away from the operating theatre.

But unlike 007, the suave surgeon still has an eye for a bargain – with his

‘Being happy and strong in myself’

£90 jacket straight off the shelves of high street retailer H&M.

For her part, Ms Waddingham, who turned 52 yesterday, walked the red carpet in a £6,180 gold sculpted dress from Monique Lhuillier.

Mr Beresford-Cleary works at the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust as well as the private London clinic Grosvenor Orthopaedic Partners and the capital’s King Edward VII Hospital – and is known for his ‘extensive experience in robotics and navigation in spinal surgery’.

The pair were first spotted together at the Cheltenham Festival in March, but made their red-carpet debut last month at the Variety Power of Women event in London.

It came eight years after Ms Waddingham split from her Italian businessman partner of more than ten years, Gianluca Cugnetto, who is the father of her only daughter, Kitty, 12.

The former Game Of Thrones star told Women’s Health: ‘I didn’t really have the space mentally or emotionally for that. I’ve hunkered down and focused on my girl and me.

‘But now I’m ready to stick my head above the parapet a bit more... and it’s really lovely too, obviously, my relationship. But the best thing about it is being happy and strong in myself.’

The British stage and TV star rose to prominence after being cast in Apple TV+ hit show Ted Lasso as Rebecca Welton, the owner of struggling English football club AFC Richmond.

Farage: Offensive Greens post makes me and colleagues targets for violence

NIGEL Farage has accused the Green Party's leader of making Reform politicians 'legitimate targets' for violence.

His rebuke came after Zack Polanski shared on social media an image of a man wearing a T-shirt featuring a cartoon of a guillotine with the words: 'We're only making plans for Nigel' - just weeks after Reform's Ann Widdicombe was killed in her home.

Mr Polanski has now removed the post from his Instagram profile, which has more than 700,000 followers.

But writing in today's Daily Mail, Mr Farage accuses the Green leader of whipping up hatred against both him

By Sophie Church

and his party. He says: 'In recent years I have had everything from milkshakes to stones thrown at me, been hit over the head with placards, seen my home attacked. And all the while, hostile media commentators and political opponents have sought to stir up hatred by slandering me and Reform as fascists and racists - effectively labelling us as legitimate targets.'

By last night Mr Polanski had failed to apologise over the matter - despite being reported to the police by Reform for incitement to violence. London's

Metropolitan force confirmed yesterday officers are 'conducting enquiries' after receiving a 'third-party report relating to an image shared on social media'.

The Daily Mail understands Mr Polanski has not yet been contacted by the police.

But the Green leader drew widespread criticism yesterday from across the political spectrum over the post - including from his own party.

Insiders were expressing frustration over Mr Polanski's 'trigger-happy' approach to social media. One Greens source told the Daily Mail that Mr Polanski 'needs to put down the phone'.

Kemi: This is a life sentence for victims

Fury at rapists being granted early release from jail

By Claire Ellicott Whitehall Editor

RAPE victims are still enduring 'life sentences' while their attackers are let out under Labour's early release scheme, Kemi Badenoch warned yesterday.

The Tory leader urged Andy Burnham to prevent the release of such serious offenders as rape victims warned they were 'not safe'.

Mr Burnham paused the scheme last week after it emerged the killers of police officer Andrew Harper were being considered.

Now Mrs Badenoch wants the Prime Minister to change the law to prevent such early releases.

About 6,000 prisoners were due to be let out in September to ease prison crowding. But Mrs Badenoch

'Absolutely the wrong message'

said emergency legislation was needed to permanently exempt rapists, paedophiles, killers and other serious offenders from early release.

Prisons are expected to run out of capacity later this year unless urgent action is taken to increase the number of places. In a press conference with rape victims, Mrs Badenoch said that they were serving a 'life sentence' while their attackers were freed early.

'This is a life sentence for you, absolutely. They get sentences of 20, 30 years,' she told the victims. 'Even most life sentences are not all life sentences. It's the victims who have the life sentences, and that is why it is important for all of us, whatever political party we're in, wherever we are on the political spectrum, to put the victims first.'

She added: 'No one believes that this category of prisoners should be increased. We know there is a challenge with the prison system. This is not the answer. This is not the way to do it.'

Mrs Badenoch sat alongside campaigners and victims, who

had waived their right to anonymity, to highlight the dangers.

Among the women were Marie Stone who was sexually assaulted as a child, and Carol Higgins who was repeatedly raped by her father as a teenager.

Victims warned that they would not be safe if their rapists were allowed out before serving their

sentences. Another victim - named only as 'Marie' - said she had received a letter saying her rapist was due to be released.

'There is lots of uncertainty around the whole thing. They couldn't give us any times, dates, or anything like that, exclusion zones... give us time to go back to court for putting anything in

place so we can be safe. So my family can be safe. That's what I want to get out here today. You know it is us as victims. Are we safe? And I don't think we are.'

Mrs Badenoch also said that releasing offenders early was the 'wrong message'.

'There will be other perpetrators who think, well, it's probably worth committing crime. I'll probably not get caught, and even if I do, I'll just serve a third of my sentence,' she added.

'This is the wrong message to be sending out to criminals.'

She said Labour should instead release shoplifters early to deal with overcrowding, rather than releasing paedophiles, rapists and killers. Mrs Badenoch added that she would support the Government in blocking the release of these offenders.

She also apologised that the Conservatives only increased prison places by 500 by the end of their 14 years in power, but said she could not fix the past.

Home Office 'used bogus AI document' to turn down asylum claim

By Richard Marsden

A SENIOR judge accused the Home Office of using bogus information obtained by 'AI hallucination' to refuse an asylum claim.

The claim was made by a Moroccan woman and her child who were fleeing the north African country on the basis of experiencing forced underage marriage and fears she would be killed by her husband.

The Home Office rejected the woman's case, pointing to evidence from a supposedly independent and authoritative document known as a country policy information note (CPIN), which stated that Morocco was safe for the woman.

However the document could not be found, with lawyers for the woman - whose initial

'Result of a hallucination'

appeal was rejected - appealing to an upper tribunal where a judge said: 'It appears that no such CPIN has ever existed.'

The judge, sitting on July 14, said a Home Office letter refusing the woman's claim 'bears hallmarks consistent with the use of artificial intelligence'.

'It may therefore transpire that references to 'country information note Morocco July 2021' in that letter are a result of an AI 'hallucination', he added.

'If so that would represent an extremely serious failing on the part of the respondent [the Home Office].'

No CPIN has been published on Morocco since 2017.

A Home Office spokesman said: 'Claims are always considered on their individual merits and based on the latest evidence to ensure only those in genuine need are granted UK protection.'

The woman's case continues.

Speedboat killer scarred new girlfriend by hitting her on chest with hot barbecue tongs

By Cameron Charters and Chiara Burrell

SPEEDBOAT killer Jack Shepherd yesterday admitted to attacking his girlfriend with burning hot barbecue tongs.

Appearing via videolink from prison, the 38-year-old pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and damaging property.

In 2018, Shepherd was jailed for six years for manslaughter after Charlotte Brown, 24, drowned after he took her on his speedboat during a first date.

Following jail sentences for further offences, he was freed on licence in January 2024 but was recalled to prison last September after being accused of violence towards his new partner.

Shepherd began dating the woman, who is in her 50s, in August 2024 after he was released from prison.

The pair met after he moved to Southall, west London, and rented a room in the same house as the woman.

Four months into their relationship, Shepherd started to

'Jibes about her weight and age'

call her an 'old lady hag' and a 'rat', prosecutors said.

The victim said he had belittled her with jibes about her weight and age and accused her of flirting with other men.

Then during a row in February last year, Shepherd pinned his girlfriend down, 'punching her several times [and] causing bruising to her arm and the top of her leg', it was said.

In a second incident, in June 2025, Shepherd got angry with her for burning a pizza during a barbecue and 'proceeded to hit her with the barbecue tongs on her left breast which caused a permanent scar'. He also damaged her keys the same month.

Prosecutors agreed to drop two other allegations – of controlling or coercive behaviour and intentional suffocation. The woman

had claimed Shepherd had menacingly mentioned a violent former cellmate and told her it would be her 'last day' if she said anything bad to his probation officer.

The Daily Mail has learnt that Shepherd targeted his new girlfriend soon after moving into the converted property.

The pair occupied two of the six

rooms, each of which had a toilet and shower, and shared a communal kitchen.

Neighbours have described his girlfriend as being 'alone and in need of someone to talk to'.

They said Shepherd had shaved his hair short and was using a different surname.

former career as a web designer but was selling used furniture.

One resident said: 'They seemed like a happy couple at first. But after a while, they started having very, very disturbing arguments and the whole house had to listen to it. There was screaming and shouting and everything.

'She used to say she was frightened [and] he... threatened

her.' The neighbour added: 'She's been through hell. He could have killed her. He is a dangerous man.

'He's conned her and conned us all. We were all taken in by him – but he's a danger to all women.'

Shepherd first came to national attention after being charged and subsequently jailed over Ms Brown's death.

They had been drinking champagne in London in December 2015 before he took her on a boat trip on the Thames.

A trial heard he was showing off by zooming up the river in the defective vessel which he had bought to 'pull girls'.

Shepherd flipped the 14ft boat after hitting a submerged log and Ms Brown, from Clacton, Essex, was thrown into the icy waters in darkness. Shepherd was found clinging to the hull of the boat. Ms Brown was pulled from the water unconscious and later died in hospital.

Shepherd, originally from Exeter, then went on the run, fleeing overseas. He was convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence at the Old Bailey in his absence and sentenced to six years in jail. He eventually handed himself in to police in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 2019 and was extradited back to the UK.

At his appearance yesterday at Isleworth Crown Court, Shepherd, who entered his guilty pleas from HMP Swaleside in Kent, was remanded into custody until a sentencing hearing on September 4.

Horror show for BBC as Netflix pips it in the popularity stakes

'MESSIAH' WITHOUT A MANDATE

Daily Mail, Wednesday, July 29, 2026

Just making a bad

Continued from Page One

Burnham's plan would only apply to a 'small' group of disabled youngsters whose single-parent families would otherwise be more than £80 a week worse off because of a quirk in the welfare system.

But former Tory work and pensions secretary Sir Ian Duncan Smith said: 'We should not have a system where people are better off sitting at home than they are doing a job, and that includes apprenticeships.'

He added: 'If there is a problem with apprenticeships struggling to compete with the benefits system then the benefits should be cut. Paying bursaries on top is piling payments on payments - it just complicates a system that is already a mess.'

The scheme is aimed at teenagers, numbering in the 'low thousands', whose families would be left worse off if they did an apprenticeship. Around £30million has been earmarked to fund the annual payment. It applies to 16 and 17-year-olds registered as having a disability and living in a single-parent household.

If they remain out of work, the family qualifies for up to £340 a week in extra benefits, which is lost if they take up an apprenticeship where pay is typically £258 per week. Ministers fear some parents are dissuading young-

'Piling payments on payments'

sters from taking an apprenticeship because it would leave them £82 a week worse off.

Mr Burnham has signalled that he wants to rein in the benefits system but has yet to publish any concrete proposals for short-term savings.

Speaking at the weekend, he ruled out 'crude cuts' but suggested that some payments could be made 'conditional' on people taking up work-related opportunities.

Left-wing Labour MPs, who blocked Sir Keir Starmer's bid to trim the welfare bill, yesterday said they will not tolerate any cuts.

Apsana Hegum, MP for Poplar and Limehouse, said Labour were elected to deliver change, not cuts', adding: 'I will stand with disabled people, against any further cuts and restrictions to their benefits.'

Liverpool Riverside representative Kim Johnson said: 'If the new leadership believes it can revive the failed politics of welfare cuts instead of asking the wealthiest to pay their fair share, it will be repeating not only Keir Starmer's mistakes but 14 years of Tory's superiority. She told Bloomberg: 'If the

On the right track? Andy Burnham and Alan Milburn at the Alstom works in Derby yesterday where the PM called for

first instinct of a new leadership is to target disabled people and low-income families... then nothing has been learnt.'

Analysis by the Daily Mail reveals that Mr Burnham has handed government roles to 18 MPs who joined the rebellion against welfare cuts last year. They include his deputy Louise Haigh and Chief Whip Anneliese Midgley, who were

two of the leading figures in the revolt. Housing Secretary Angela Rayner was also a key figure in forcing Sir Keir to back down.

The Conservatives' work and pensions spokesman, Helen Whately, said: 'This is a reminder that Labour MPs don't back welfare savings. In fact, they just want to tax people more - to spend more on benefits.' The new bursary

scheme is part of a wider package aimed at tackling the growing 'Neets' crisis. The number of young people not in education, employment or training has now topped one million and represents 13.5 per cent of all 16-24 year olds.

Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden acknowledged that the welfare system is acting as a 'barrier' to work for some, but said the

bursary scheme would help youngsters unlock their potential. He added: 'By providing bursaries to those who need them most and fully funding apprenticeship training, we are making sure cost is not the reason someone misses out.'

Meanwhile, Mr Burnham yesterday called for schools to adapt their curriculum to meet the needs of local employers and help

YOUTH unemployment is at its highest level in more than a decade.

Over a million young people aged 16-24 fall into the Neet category - not in education, employment or training. This is a crisis.

Too many businesses have stopped hiring young people because Labour have piled extra costs on to employers through their Employment Rights Act, increasing the minimum wage and hiking employers' national insurance contributions.

At the same time, a welfare system that too often rewards inactivity has become ever harder to challenge.

But what are Labour doing to fix it? Perhaps by making it cheaper to hire young people? Or stopping the incentives for young people to go on welfare rather than work? No, they are choosing

The soft bigotry of low expectations dressed up as progressive reform

SHADOW EDUCATION SECRETARY

to sabotage the part of the state that is working well: Schools.

Yesterday Andy Burnham proposed to offer technical subjects to pupils from the age of 14. Subjects such as manufacturing and AI would be available from Year 10 and linked to local industries. Yet what Labour is presenting

will result in a move away from high standards in schools. Lucy Powell, the Education Secretary, has argued that an 'over-focus on academic outcomes has left behind too many young people'.

But that fails to acknowledge how academic standards do not hold children back - they lift them up.

Young people at schools like the one I went to, my local comprehensive, were written off at the age of 14. It is a tragedy of lost opportunities that I don't want to see unfold again. Britain's greatest success story

in recent years has been proving that children from ordinary backgrounds can achieve world-class qualifications at state schools. That should be celebrated.

The purpose of education is not to limit a child's ambitions to whatever jobs happen to exist nearby. It is to equip them with the qualifications to succeed in any path they choose to pursue.

There is another danger. Successful schools with highly academic intakes will still focus on high achievers, while schools serving more disadvantaged communities will come under

pressure to steer pupils into technical routes far earlier. It is the soft bigotry of low expectations dressed up as progressive reform.

Labour's 2005 14-19 reforms were meant to strengthen vocational education, but too often children from poorer backgrounds were channeled away from rigorous academic subjects. Instead of raising aspirations, they lowered expectations.

But Conservative policies - such as the 2010 Academies Act and curriculum overhauls that prioritised knowledge in subjects such as maths and English - have chal-

lenged that culture. They proved that disadvantaged children could thrive in academic schools.

It would be a mistake to return to a system that too readily decided some children would never achieve academically.

None of this is an argument against technical education: Quite the opposite. Britain needs more high-quality apprenticeships. But all young people deserve the benefit of a strong academic education.

The Conservatives have a plan to boost employment for young people. By stopping dead-end degrees, doubling apprenticeships and raising the bar for welfare claims, we can help the next generation into work. Labour's approach pulls in precisely the opposite direction.

This Government has made hiring more expensive, left welfare unrefined and is blaming schools for the consequences.

ELLEN Stewart says she is having a 'Harold Wilson summer'. The social media influencer's latest offering involves footage of the former Labour prime minister - resplendent in khaki shorts, pale blue T-shirt and binoculars - holidaying on the Isle of Man, as Lady Gaga's Summerboy plays jauntily in the background.

This may seem a rather incongruous way for your average 19-year-old to travel for followers on social media.

But Stewart is operating to a higher purpose. Scattered among her content are slickly edited images of our new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, other members of the Cabinet (John Healey appears as the Government's 'Dark Knight', an homage to Christian Bale's Batman) and entreaties to vote for the 'Mainstream slate' in Labour's upcoming NEC elections. 'WE ARE DAN JARVIS WE CARRY THE FLAME,' exclaims one tweet.

Nor is she carrying this flame alone. When Burnham entered Downing Street last week, Stewart who goes by the X handle 'AlGore-Crave', was surrounded by a group of youthful online activists.

Each has been co-opted to promote his political agenda, and take the fight to Labour's opponents across the meme-ravaged battlefields of TikTok, Facebook and X. They have taken on a daring task. Trying to make Labour 'cool' again.

And for the moment, it is a war they appear to be winning. Until recently it was acknowledged across the parties that Reform were the social media masters.

During the 2024 general election Nigel Farage's party reportedly generated three times as many social media interactions as Labour, despite the fact Starmer's party was outspending them on major paid advertising by a margin of over 60 to 1.

BUT now Reform are lagging. Farage's social media activity has become almost exclusively focused on trying to help him save his Clacton seat from a man dressed as a bin. Where once his country was edgy and insurgent, over the past fortnight it has consisted of footage of him walking round his constituency in a slightly ill-fitting blazer, shaking hands with his former constituents.

What's more, this increasingly ill-starred venture is absorbing more of Reform's social media resources, and has seen the party essentially abandon its campaign for the Manchester mayoralty.

A couple of weeks ago it was also announced Reform were 'shaking up' their social media team. The official reason was that this was a part of a broad refresh of their wider political operation. But in truth it was because

Support: Ellen Stewart, second right, and other online activists

COMMENTARY by Dan Hodges

Farage and his aides have become increasingly alarmed at the inroads being made into their former online base by Rupert Lowe, and his hard-Right insurgent party, Restore. As one Restore insider told me: 'We're being eating into Reform's social media support for months. And they're panicking.'

Meanwhile, Andy Burnham's so-far successful social media operation is being masterminded by Abby Tomlinson, the former 'head of digital' for the Labour Party under Keir Starmer.

Tomlinson rose to fame as the founder of the 'Milifans' youth movement that promoted Ed Miliband in the run-up to the 2015 election. Although his bid for power ended in failure, Labour's share of the vote among 18-24-year-olds rose by 12 points.

'Milifans is often placed alongside the EdStone as one of the great Ed Miliband failures,' one Labour insider told me, 'but Abby is properly sharp. The social media space is a jungle. And she

knows how to cut through.' There is some evidence the current surge in Burnham's support is being driven by younger voters.

According to a YouGov poll published yesterday, over the past month the number of 18-24-year-olds that support Labour has jumped from 14 per cent to 26 per cent. Not exactly a Youthquake, but possibly a Youthstressor.

Burnham has posted slick videos using Love Island memes, 'blind ranking pub snacks' with the Chancellor and even teaming up with the influencer Bemi Orujugun - known as 'Bus Aunty' - to announce his cap on bus fares. All very clickable.

But there are potential risks attending our Prime Minister's enthusiastic social media strategy. The first is while time and effort is being ploughed into his online media operation, his more traditional media engagement is experiencing teething problems.

Yesterday, Burnham expressed his frustration at reports he was

contemplating a major reconfiguration of council tax and stamp duty. 'I don't know where some of the stories that have appeared over the past 24 hours have come from,' he said in exasperation.

But since his victory in the Makerfield by-election he has been forced to do a low level fire-fighting, damping down apparently ill-sourced speculation on everything from an early election to a cut in the income tax allowance.

Another problem is Labour's social media operation does appear to be genuinely organic, relying on a wide range of independent - if loosely co-ordinated - influencers like Ellen to spread the message through 'edit'.

And, as is the nature of this form of communication, it is only a matter of time before one of Burnham's energetic teenage cheerleaders posts something they shouldn't have.

GREEN leader Zack Polanski is currently under investigation from the Metropolitan Police after he (or his social media team) reported an image of one of his activists sporting a T-shirt with a guillotine, and the slogan 'making plans for Nigel'.

In the current highly charged political environment the benchmark for a social media scandal is lower than ever.

Then there is the issue of Burnham's target audience. His strategy may well be cutting through to younger voters. But, he is targeting a section of the electorate that is notoriously hard to mobilize some election day.

As James Corville, Bill Clinton's political strategist, once caustically observed: 'You show me a campaign strategy based on young and first-time voters and I'll show you a losing campaign.'

But in the world of social media, the medium is the message. And Andy Burnham's use of a group of young, enthusiastic influencers is having the desired effect.

Social media is delivering us an Andy Burnham Summer. Our new Prime Minister may as well bask in its rays while he can.

'MESSIAH' WITHOUT A MANDATE

Helping hands: French maritime rescue services off the beach at Hardelot-Plage yesterday distribute life jackets to migrants as they attempt to cross the Channel

So Mr Burnham, if 'the plan is working', how come 880 migrants crossed last week?

By Greg Heffer

ANDY Burnham yesterday said 'the plan is working' on stopping small-boat crossings – despite around 880 migrants arriving via the Channel during his first week as Prime Minister.

He claimed the 'very rigorous' approach of Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood was reducing the number of illegal entries to Britain.

However, the PM was accused by Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philip of being 'out of touch with reality' as latest images from France showed migrants clamouring to cross illegally to the UK.

Dozens were seen scrambling through the surf to board a traffickers' dinghy at

'PM is out of touch with reality'

Hardelot-Plage, south of Boulogne, while families with young children enjoyed the beach during the summer holidays. Mr Burnham claimed the crossings are 'down quite significantly' compared to last year but admitted 'there is much more to do'.

Some 881 migrants arrived in the UK on small boats in the first week of the PM's premiership, according to Home Office statistics. They journeyed in 13 vessels, with one 'mega-dinghy' on Thursday carrying a record 165 migrants.

Mr Burnham has been criticised for his silence on illegal migration – with the premier having failed to mention his plans for dealing with the crisis.

Instead, he has focused on his commitments to lower household energy bills, cap bus fares and unveil his 'No 10 North' site in Manchester – branded a 'gimmick' by critics – during his first days in

French ship fires 17 shots near Tory MP in Channel

By David Barrett Home Affairs Editor

THE Government has demanded an explanation after a French warship fired shots near Tory MP Chris Philip as he monitored small-boat activity in the Channel.

The Conservatives' Shadow Home Secretary believes the incident yesterday was an attempt to 'intimidate' him.

Mr Philip was being interviewed by the BBC on the deck of a British trawler when a series of shots rang out. The French patrol vessel Flamant was 300 yards from the trawler when 17 rounds were fired from a handgun by a crew member.

A Government spokesman said: 'We are

Close: The navy vessel, circled, was 300 yards from Chris Philip when shots rang out

in contact with the French authorities to understand the context of this incident.'

Mr Philip told the Daily Mail he was 'shocked' and would be raising the incident with the French ambassador.

Matt Coker, the skipper of the trawler, said: 'A live firing exercise is always announced on the [radio]. There's been

nothing announced.' A French armed forces ministry source said: 'Training exercises involving all kinds of ammunition are very common off the coast. This was undoubtedly a pre-planned exercise that had nothing to do with the British.'

Mr Philip said this claim was 'not credible', adding: 'There were no warnings in place.'

power. Downing Street said the PM's second week in office will see him 'start the task of fixing some of the most difficult issues facing the country'.

These are expected to include interventions on youth unemployment, social care, defence spending and economic growth.

During a visit to Derby yesterday, Mr Burnham was quizzed about his silence on the small-boats crisis and asked whether he had a plan to tackle the issue.

He defended the Government's

approach, saying: 'The Home Secretary has brought forward a very rigorous plan in relation to this.'

The numbers can fluctuate but, overall, boat crossings are down, down quite significantly year on year. So that does suggest that the plan is working.

Asked if he recognised the crossings may represent a 'threat to national security', Mr Burnham said: 'I can give you a commitment that all relevant and necessary checks must be done.'

However, a heavily laden

inflatable was seen crossing the Channel as French officials tossed life jackets to migrants, despite Labour's claim a deal signed with the French would lead to more departures being stopped.

Mr Philip, on the Channel observing migrant vessels, said: 'We've seen well over 1,000 illegal immigrants cross in the last few days.'

Shabana Mahmood's deal with the French is not working – I witnessed today the French doing nothing to stop a migrant boat and even helped by handing out

life jackets. The only thing protecting our borders is the weather. 'We are now seeing mega-dinghies – 'Burnham Boats' – with over 150 migrants on board. By saying there's no problem, Andy Burnham is out of touch with reality.'

Government data shows 77,183 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel during Sir Keir Starmer's premiership from July 2024. Some 13,350 arrivals have been recorded this year – 45 per cent down on this time last year.

When's someone going to tell Andy he's the Prime Minister, not playing the tambourine in The Smiths?

by SARAH VINE

POLITICS, like nature, abhors a vacuum. With Parliament in recess and Nigel Farage in hiding from Count Binface, one Andrew Murray Burnham and his team have sensed their window of opportunity – and gone for it. Ruthlessly, relentlessly and, it must be said, rather successfully – at least on the surface.

Three separate polls have put Labour in front of Reform for the first time in well over a year. And no wonder Burnham spent his first week handing out sweeties. The £45 energy cut, tax breaks for state pensioners, business-rate cuts for pubs, social clubs and live music venues, bus fares capped at £2, a multi-million-pound rough-sleeping initiative: truly, it was quite the political sugar rush.

Before long, however, some of the grown-ups began drawing attention to the astonishing abundance of E-numbers and the lack of nutritional value in these policies. Green campaigners questioned the wisdom of subsidising – and therefore incentivising – electricity use at a time of 'climate

'He has a gigantic ego and he's tiresome'

crisis' (as if on cue, large swathes of Europe burst into flames). They also pointed out that most households rely on gas to heat their homes in winter, so vulnerable energy users would be no better off at all.

On the pension front, he was accused of engineering a two-tier taxation system and also of penalising people who had done the right thing and saved for their retirement.

Others pointed out the obvious contradictions of a 'decentralisation' champion such as Burnham imposing a blanket cap on bus fares, thus taking power away from local authorities.

As for the much-vaunted boost to the hospitality sector, excluding restaurants from the rate cut is, once again, unfair – especially since so many pubs now also serve food.

But perhaps Burnham's most divisive act in these first two whirlwind weeks has been the establishment of a 'No 10 North' to rival the one in Westminster. It is quickly becoming clear that when he talks airily of being a Prime Minister who intends to govern for 'all of Britain', he's not talking about anywhere south of the Walford Gap.

From pictures of the Prime Minister's motorcade rolling the wrong way along a one-way street in Manchester to (hastily denied) proposals to reform council tax in ways that would make homeowners in London and the South East pay vastly more than the rest of the country, it's clear he intends to level up the North at the expense of the folks down south.

After all, let's not forget that London and the South-East alone generate 45 per cent of the UK's

entire tax revenue. All that hard work cannot go unpunished by a Labour Prime Minister who appears to have a chip the size of the Isle of Wight on his shoulder.

If this were a Conservative PM, the BBC and others would be in uproar. There would be accusations of high-handedness, entitlement, elitism – and rightly so. But for the usual reason – institutional Left-wing bias – none of his antics seem to raise an eyebrow.

Instead, he gets a cosy fireside chat with Gary Lineker and a very light grilling from Laura Kuenessberg. 'So, Mr Burnham, when did you first realise you were the Messiah?'

Where is the plan for growth? What about defence (he obfuscated on the need to increase the budget to 3 per cent of GDP)? And does anyone really care

where Cabinet sits, so long as it gets the job done?

No 10 North seems to me a gigantic vanity project – a huge white elephant. Premises, security, logistics – none of this stuff comes cheap. Burnham's team claims it's all already 'baked in' to existing departmental budgets.

But even if that were the case (which, inevitably, it won't be: some estimates say that the long-term bill will be about £100 million), what about all the extra time, expense and inconvenience of shuffling civil servants, Spads, ministers and other staff between London and Manchester – including Burnham, who apparently prefers travelling there by private jet?

It's all so performative. Especially from someone who read English at Cambridge, and

whose Cabinet is composed of 61 per cent Oxbridge graduates. When is someone going to tell him he's the Prime Minister, not playing the tambourine in The Smiths?

All this waste of time and Other People's Money stems from two things: Burnham's gigantic ego and his tiresome and immature wish to maintain his nice-guy image, and cast himself as the ultimate centrist dad. I hate to twist his melon (to quote that great Mancunian philosopher Shaun Ryder) but I'm afraid he's in for quite a shock.

There is almost no position more perilous in politics than being the coming man (or woman). The higher people's expectations, the further there is to fall – and trust me, there is always a fall.

Burnham's real problem is that

he has spent so long being the Labour Party's political heartthrob, becoming an effective Prime Minister is going to be really hard for him.

Because if there is one thing that running the country does to everyone, without exception or mercy, it is to make a person unpopular. The only real variable is how long it takes – and just how loathed they become. And that, it strikes me, is not something Eyelashes Andy is at all prepared for.

The amount of time this man spends on TikTok making 'hilarious' memes of himself is proof of this. Rating pub snacks and AI posters, filming cringes-worthy comedy skits: it's all designed to show how approachable and likeable he is.

If he wanted to be popular, he should have stayed in his Manchester eyrie. But he didn't. He got ambitious. He orchestrated a well-planned coup, and now he's trying to have his cake and eat it. Well, it's not going to work.

The truth is, politics is like parenting. You start out thinking you're going to do it differently from your parents/friends and make none of their mistakes.

'Like a weak parent handing out sweets'

You'll have a water birth, your children will only eat organic, you will never raise your voice or feel like pouring yourself a large gin and tonic after the school run.

You soon realise this is complete nonsense. Just like politics, parenting is a messy business, and in many ways an exercise in expectation management.

You quickly realise that, much as you would like to, you can't be your child's friend – otherwise, it becomes impossible to impose any discipline or teach them the hard lessons they sometimes need to learn.

That is not to say you can't be their advocate, their protector, their adviser. But if you try to make them like you, they won't ever respect you. And respect is a very important part of governance, both in the home and in public life.

Burnham has not understood this. He's like a weak parent handing out sweets to buy hugs and smiles – not realising this is only going to make matters worse in the long run.

And what's there to respect in a man who has come to power with no mandate based on 24,927 votes in the Makerfield by-election, a figure that represents 0.052 per cent of the British electorate?

So far, all he has done is to paralyse an already alling housing market, terrify Middle England with plans of a death tax to fund social care, introduce divisive policies that have got up people's noses, patronise young people by telling them they needn't aspire to university (even though he himself benefited from a free gold-plated Oxbridge education) – and move the machinery of government to Manchester on a whim.

It's going to be a very long summer.

INSIDE SHOWBIZ!

By Katie Hind

CONSULTANT EDITOR SHOWBUSINESS

BEHIND the scenes of BBC's Breakfast in recent days, there have been plenty of smiles.

Mainly on the faces of the programme's editor Richard Frediani and his 'boys' club' - since they learned that long-time presenter Naga Munchetty, who earned a salary of £364,999 in her role, was to leave after 17 years on the sofa.

For Frediani, who was temporarily suspended last year following allegations of bullying, had finally won the war against Naga. In the end, sources tell me, it was an ultimatum for BBC bosses between keeping the presenter or her editor, nicknamed 'Fredi'.

Their feud, which began when Frediani joined the breakfast programme in 2019, worsened after Naga was seen to be standing up for lower-ranking staff as she watched them being belittled and 'trampled over' by Team Frediani.

But while the editor was reportedly widely despised by his junior troop, he was 'well in' with the top brass.

Indeed, it was announced yesterday that Naga, 51, is moving to Radio 5 Live where she will host the breakfast show for five days a week. Frediani remains in post.

It has not been an easy few years for the BBC Breakfast show, which Naga co-hosted with Charlie Stayt. Naga's departure follows an internal investigation in 2025 into her behaviour, also concerning complaints of bullying, over a three-year period.

She was accused of bullying a female colleague and making a 'wildly unprofessional' off-air sex joke that left a co-worker 'humiliated'. Following the investigation, Naga remained in her job at the BBC.

Meanwhile, in 2020 I first revealed that less than a year into his reign as editor, Frediani had been accused of bullying his staff.

For years since I have heard from staff complaining about his alleged behaviour and, in June 2025, it was said that he had taken an extended period of leave after an internal review of bullying and misconduct allegations was opened.

WHILE Naga was cleared, the sight of her boss also returning to the show after his own investigation - in which at least one complaint was upheld - was, I'm told, 'untenable' for her.

'It was a war zone at Breakfast and Naga lost her battle with the man in charge, her own boss, who didn't seem to like being taken on,' one BBC insider told me, shortly after the news of her new role was made public by the Radio Five Live press office.

'[Naga] was a far more interesting story than Fredi - he didn't make headlines, she did. Reams of headlines appeared making her out to be a total monster - but 'scapegoat' is probably more accurate.'

'At the end of the day, there wasn't a smoking gun to sack Naga but it's for the best she doesn't host Breakfast any more, it was all getting very tricky for everyone involved.'

'What absolutely hasn't gone unnoticed among Naga's gang is that the woman has gone, the

Why Naga's allies in her battle with BBC Breakfast's Boys' Club are saying: 'The woman's gone, the man stays. Classic!'

Move: Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt on the BBC Breakfast sofa and, left, discussing her new role as host of the Radio 5 Live breakfast show yesterday

man is still in situ. Classic. We've had Jermaine Jenas texting women filthy, sexual messages, MasterChef's Gregg Wallace treated junior staff abhorrently and Wynne Evans used the vilest sexual terms in the workplace, yet look at the abuse Naga got.

Of course, Naga has her critics and in the past 18 months since reports of her alleged behaviour have come to light, I've heard a mixed bag of insider reports.

Last year, when her co-star Sally Nugent showed off her 'glow-up' which became something of a national talking point, it was claimed that Naga made a nasty comment about her sidekick's new look.

'We're meant to be serious journalists, not trying to look like we're presenting This Morning,' she supposedly told Sally.

And then there was Geri Halliwell-Horner, the former Spice Girl who found herself on the receiving end of Naga's acidic tongue during a live interview in which the host pointed her finger at the singer.

The BBC later apologised. Then came 'toast-gate' when Naga reportedly reprimanded a BBC Breakfast intern for incorrectly spreading Marmite on her toast and also complained that it 'needed to be a little bit burnt, but not too much'.

'A lot of what Naga does is in jest, some of it isn't,' says my BBC source. 'The perception, frankly, is that she is nasty but a lot of this is her manner and often for show. She will take no $$$$, that was part of the problem.'

BBC insiders describe Naga's new job, which will begin in January next year, as 'a great one'.

THEY also point out that she will be hosting it alone, and, unlike Breakfast on television, it will be five days a week instead of three. Nor will she host the show on a Saturday as she did on BBC Breakfast.

Naga may also be able to host some shows from London rather than be in Salford full-time,

meaning that she will be closer to her home in Dulwich, south-east London.

However, in a statement released yesterday, Naga carefully worded her comments about her exit, giving no mention of her fall-out with her former editor.

She said: 'It has been a privilege to be part of the BBC Breakfast TV team for the past 17 years, working alongside an incredibly talented and hard-working group of journalists who are not only outstanding colleagues but also great friends.'

'Presenting a flagship programme on 5 Live is an opportunity that was simply too good to pass up. It will take a huge amount of work and require 100 per cent of my focus and energy, and I'm really looking forward to throwing myself into the role.'

Later in the day, she shared the news on BBC Radio 5 Live where she told the channel's listeners that she was 'very excited' to join the flagship show. 'Change is as good as a rest,' she giggled but, again, she kept schtum on the

chaos behind the scenes at Breakfast.

There has been no word from Frediani over her departure but John McAndrew, the BBC's director of live and daily news, paid tribute to Naga, writing that she will be 'hugely missed by the millions of viewers who've welcomed her into their homes each week.'

So far there has been no word from Charlie Stayt, Naga's long-serving co-anchor who has often been on the end of her snarling eye rolls and sarcastic comments.

There is no suggestion yet that he is likely to follow Naga off the red Breakfast sofa.

'He tried his best not to get involved in it all, he's basically Switzerland - neutral,' a source told me.

'He is beloved by the rank and file but has not many allies in the creepy mid-management class but he loved Naga really and enjoyed the sport of hosting with her.'

'Even he will miss her.'

All that glitters... Trump's £4million makeover for Washington statues

By Andy Jehring

WHEN it comes to sprucing things up, Donald Trump seems to have a golden rule.

And last night the US President revealed images of Washington DC's two Arts of War bronze horse sculptures - which have now been covered in a layer of 23-carat gold leaf worth nearly £4million.

Earlier this year Mr Trump unveiled a 22ft golden statue of himself at one of his golf clubs in Miami, and has already added gold trimmings to furniture and fittings in the Oval Office - including gold coasters with his name on them. Sharing an image on

'Longgggg overdue'

Truth Social of the £3.8million work carried out on the sculptures, Mr Trump wrote: 'Taking down the scaffolding around the regilded Arts of War sculptures.'

The two statues, named 'Sacrifice' and 'Valor', have stood since 1951, framing the entrance of Arlington Memorial Bridge. They last underwent major renovations in the 1970s with smaller efforts in 1984 and 2005. A Department of the Interior spokesman

Golden opportunity: The statues have lost a bronze covering

By Jack Hardy

A SERIAL killer who styled himself on a TV psychopath is being investigated over a number of unsolved deaths after he was convicted of murdering and dismembering two men.

James Desborough, 40, was responsible for 'three explosions of fatal violence in less than six months' when he targeted two men he met at a homeless shelter and later his cellmate.

He was convicted yesterday of the murders of Claudio Aquilino, 57, and Daniel Coleman, 43, whose burnt remains he hid in undergrowth surrounding his shack near St Austell, Cornwall, between April and June last year.

'I enjoyed the dismembering'

Desborough had already been found guilty in a separate trial this year of murdering cellmate Steven Kempster, 65, whom he strangled at HMP Exeter last September because, he said, he was snoring too loudly.

Police are now investigating whether Desborough may have been responsible for more killings, including that of Lee Hockey, 50, whose body was also found in Cornish woodland in July last year.

Desborough was present at various points during police searches and mentioned casually to a forensic biologist that he 'particularly enjoyed the dismemberment scenes' in the US TV series Dexter. The show, set in Miami,

Desborough, a former construction boss, had fallen into drug addiction and began living off grid on land he owned in Paramore Woods, Sticker, Cornwall. Winchester Crown Court heard

Miami Star

he is believed to have killed Mr Aquilino in April last year and Mr Coleman in June before accessing their bank accounts and making it appear both men were alive. Jurors were told that Desborough had been in a love triangle with Mr Coleman and his wife Hannah Cresswell, whom he met

at a homeless shelter in Newquay. Just weeks earlier, Mr Aquilino also met Desborough at the hostel. He rang police in terror on the day before he was last seen, April 17, 2025, saying that Desborough was 'off his head'.

Mr Coleman also phoned 101 on the last day of his life to report, in cryptic terms, fears about Desborough. Both victims were last seen leaving pubs with him.

Police searching Desborough's land last year were initially chasing up a missing person report about Mr Coleman when they stumbled across Mr Aquilino's remains. Officers also found notes in Desborough's shack in which he described himself as 'ready to kill and execute any predators'.

Desborough was convicted of Mr Kempster's murder in March and was jailed for a minimum of 14 years. He will be sentenced for the other two murders today.

Loner pupils are twice as likely to end up jobless

Daily Mail Reporter

CHILDREN left sidelined at school are up to twice as likely to become jobless and not be in education or training when they turn 18, a study discovered.

Researchers found that pupils left sitting on their own during break times rather than joining in games went on to suffer much poorer career prospects.

The loneliest 12-year-olds were more than twice as likely to become a Neet - not in employment, education or training - at age 18, the analysis also found.

It is thought to be the first study to measure the impact of social isolation during childhood in relation to career outcomes.

Those behind the King's College London research, published in the journal Development And Psychopathology, said that their

'Need to tackle social isolation'

findings show that tackling feelings of isolation could help young people while boosting economic productivity.

It comes after the number of so-called Neets soared to more than one million this year.

Dr Bridget Bryan, lead author, of the study, said: 'Given the concern about Neet rates, these findings suggest that tackling childhood social isolation could be a valuable lever for improving young people's life chances.'

A Government-commissioned review in May by former health secretary Alan Milburn warned one in six youths could become Neets in the next five years.

The report found the crisis is costing the UK around £125billion a year, including a loss in tax receipts and higher health and welfare spending.

Now Andrew is set to lose another title

ANDREW Mountbatten-Windsor is set to lose one of his few remaining honours after he refused to drop it voluntarily.

King Charles last year stripped his younger brother of his royal titles and honours because of his connections to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

But the former Duke of York still retains the Freedom of the City of London - which he was granted in 2021 by the City of London Corporation (CLC) because his late father Prince Philip had been a freeman.

Mr Mountbatten-Windsor has since failed to give up the honour, 'despite being asked to do so' by the CLC. Now officials have started drafting a process to remove the honour, as 'there is currently no effective lawful mechanism to do so'. A spokesman said: 'We understand why people want this matter resolved as quickly as possible, and we share that desire.'

Not so fast, Hammond!

Ex-Top Gear star is fined £999 for speeding twice in 20 days while driving in his Porsche and Bentley

RICHARD Hammond has been fined £999 after he was caught speeding twice in three weeks while out driving his Porsche and Bentley.

The former Top Gear host, 56, was clocked driving his Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo at 68mph in a 50mph limit on the A40 in Pencraig, Herefordshire, on December 2. He broke the speed limit again 20 days later, this time while in his Bentley Continental GT on the A50 Rudhall Overbridge, also in Herefordshire, where he was caught driving at 82mph in a 70mph limit.

West Mercia Police spent weeks trying to track down the TV presenter, known as 'The Hamster' on the hit BBC show, by sending letters to his multi-million-pound portfolio of homes.

He pleaded guilty through his lawyers to two charges of speeding. At 'Telford Magistrates' Court last week, he was handed

Police also set out in court papers that the father-of-two had been accused of another driving offence in August last year.

Hammond was prosecuted for two offences of speeding and two further allegations that he had ignored police letters and failed to identify himself as the guilty driver.

In a letter to the court, the presenter's solicitor admitted the speeding charges but denied the other two offences, writing: 'He replied identifying himself as the driver. He sent the reply by first

Hammond was pictured this month with new therapist girlfriend Kiki Glen after his split from his wife of 23 years, Mindy Etheridge, in September 2024.

A friend told the Daily Mail that the pair were taking things slow. They said: 'He wasn't expecting to get into a relationship so quickly, but he's not complaining.' Hammond revealed his new relationship while discussing his quieter lifestyle, which centres around cooking, running, walking and enjoying the countryside.

Last year Hammond told the Daily Mail he had a 'year from hell', including the 'devastating' collapse of his marriage.

doing it the wrong way. And 22 per cent admitted they have got into a heated debate with a friend.

As 'feta fatigue' sets in, pies become heatwave favourite

YOU might think light dishes would be the order of the day as temperatures hit 35C (95F).

But in a phenomenon nicknamed 'feta fatigue', Britons appear to have become fed up with healthy heatwave fodder such as salads.

Surprisingly, many want unseasonal winter warmers, with Waitrose reporting a spike in comfort food purchases yesterday.

It said sales of cottage pies were up by 110 per cent in the past four weeks, while recipe searches on its website for spaghetti bolognese, toad in the

hole and mac 'n' cheese were also up by 91 per cent, 67 per cent and 57 per cent respectively.

Stephen Parkins-Knight, the supermarket's senior innovation chef, said: 'Forget the thermostat. When a heatwave goes on, raw salads and chilled plates can often lose their cool heat.'

'What we're seeing is a trend in 'reverse comfort-eating' - after spending all day drained by the heat, people crave rich, grounding staples to recharge.'

COMMENT

Erase the benefits mindset, Burnham

WITH the number of young people classed as not in education, employment or training (Neets) now exceeding a million, only a fool would underestimate the scale of the crisis. Yet, equally, it hardly takes a genius to figure out that Andy Burnham's proposed solution appears to be coming from a completely wrong angle.

No one disputes that encouraging apprenticeships and vocational training is a sensible idea. But offering further handouts to individuals already on benefits seems like a very peculiar way of going about it.

On a more basic level, Mr Burnham's ill-conceived plan fails to address the underlying issue of a generation of young people who have become used to sitting at home in front of daytime TV. Given that a significant proportion claim to be suffering from depression, anxiety and various other ailments unlikely to be improved through self-isolation and a failure to contribute anything to society, this problem will not go away on its own.

Writing to The Times, the Prime Minister remarked that it 'would be easy to push the blame' on young people themselves and also observed: 'What's holding them back isn't ambition, but the skills and experience to make the most of it.'

Of course, that's only a very small part of the story. It is largely because of measures introduced under Labour - including rises in employers' national insurance contributions and steep increases in the youth minimum wage - that young people are finding it difficult to get a job in the first place.

Nor has the wider situation been helped by a completely unsustainable system that, in some circumstances, leaves benefits claimants with more money in their pockets than people who are going out to do an honest day's work.

With depressing predictability, the Left are insisting that benefits payments are too sacred to be touched. Labour MP Kim Johnson, a member of the Socialist Campaign Group, urged the PM not to 'revive the failed politics of welfare cuts'.

If Mr Burnham is to govern with any moral authority at all, he must ignore the demands and take a very sharp knife to the nation's handouts.

Trying to impress upon Britain's young that they have options beyond drifting aimlessly into university is all very well. But an even more important lesson they need to learn is that relying on state benefits cannot be their default setting.

The crisis continues

IT IS bad enough in itself that Mr Burnham said nothing publicly about the Channel boats crisis during his first week in No10.

Given the prolonged silence, it might have been expected when he did finally speak that he would announce some new strategy to tackle the problem. But instead all he had to offer were some throwaway remarks apparently aimed at reassuring everyone the situation is under control.

The facts suggest otherwise. Some 881 migrants crossed the water from France over the course of his first seven days in office. With Home Office figures showing that each asylum claim costs £18,700, those arrivals alone add up to a bill of almost £16.5 million for British taxpayers.

For his part, the PM is quick to point out that the number of boats is down. But with one mega-dinghy that landed last week carrying a record 165 passengers, the frequency of the crossings might soon be academic. If only Mr Burnham could get that into his lovingly coiffed skull.

Polanski MUST face consequences for his appalling guillotine tweet about me. Ann's murder shows the risk of violence is all too real

CAN you imagine the furore if I, as leader of Reform UK, shared a social media post containing a threat to kill the leader of the Labour, Conservative or Green parties?

And can you imagine how much worse that furore would be if I did such a thing less than three weeks after a senior politician from those parties had been brutally murdered?

I know for sure that I would be arrested for incitement. I would be drummed out of political life to loud media condemnations and parliamentary demands to prostrate myself in front of the Speaker and make a grovelling apology.

So what happened when Green Party leader Zack Polanski shared a post on Monday that showed a man standing next to a guillotine, along with the disgusting phrase: 'We're only making plans for Nigel?'

Nothing. When we highlighted this outrageous post, Polanski quietly took it down.

No apology, no knock on the door, no wider condemnations, nothing to see here, move along please.

Hatred

Well, after the recent murder of my dear friend and colleague Ann Widdicombe, that simply isn't good enough.

That's why I have reported Polanski to the Metropolitan Police and to the London Assembly, where he is an elected member. Because when it comes to political double standards and the two-tier policing of our public life, enough is enough.

For those who haven't seen it, the offending Instagram post, shared by Polanski to his 700,000 followers, featured a bearded Green activist in a rainbow cap, wearing a black T-shirt emblazoned with that chilling image and caption. The smug-looking bearded was making a V-for-victory sign at the camera.

This was one of a series of

by Nigel Farage

posts that Polanski had shared from a Green conference, which was reportedly billed as 'a day of love, joy, community'. Only in the warped world of the Leftie 'BeKind' brigade would 'love, joy, community' include hatred and violence against political opponents.

Some cynical commentators have accused us of 'overreacting'.

Well, let me remind them of just what happened earlier this month.

Ann, our party spokesman for immigration and justice, was killed in the most despicable circumstances in her own home in Devon.

The local police initially tried to assure me that her death was a random 'burglary zone wrong'.

From the first, I suspected that was nonsense.

Ann's unspeakable murder should have drawn a line of the sand for everyone in British politics. It was a stark warning of the terrible consequences of stoking hatred against politicians of all stripes, or against anyone who questions the establishment parties' consensus on issues such as mass migration. Anyone who truly believes in our democracy should have taken that dire warning to heart.

Instead, we have witnessed an establishment attempt to play down and divert attention from Ann's murder.

First came the misplaced official warnings from Labour Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood and police chiefs that we should not 'speculate' about motive (all while they were speculating wildly about there being 'nothing to suggest it was politically motivated').

Then, just a couple of days after Ann's murder, came the bizarre effort to invent a Right-wing terror threat against a Muslim festival in Suffolk, with news of 12 'arrests' plastered across the

BBC and Ms Mahmood declaring that the police had 'undoubtedly saved lives'.

The only problem was that this terror threat did not actually exist.

As the Daily Mail reported in its excellent coverage last weekend, it was 'the far-Right plot that never was'.

Was this frankly bonkers episode another blunder by the authorities? Or was the fantasy 'anti-Muslim terror threat' part of a scheme to divert attention from the real threat to Right-of-centre public figures?

Threats

Now, less than three weeks after Ann's murder, we have witnessed the grisly spectacle of a party leader posting about how funny it would be to guillotine the leader of the party she supported. Sorry but I'm not laughing.

As Lord Walney, the Government's former adviser on political violence, rightly said, for Polanski to have shared 'material implying the assassination of another politician' would be 'sickening and unacceptable at any time'. But it is 'even more serious in the present environment, in which a senior Reform member has been brutally killed'.

Lord Walney warned there must be 'serious consequences' for what Polanski has done. Quite so.

Long before any of this, I needed more security than anyone in British politics. Between February this year and July 13, Reform recorded a total of 1,577 threats against me, averaging over 500 per month - more than ten every day. We judge 597 of those to be explicit death threats.

And, sadly, it's more than mere words. In recent years I have had everything from milkshakes to stones thrown at me, been hit over the head with placards, seen my home attacked. And all the while, hostile media commentators and political opponents have

sought to stir up hatred by slandering me and Reform as 'fascists' and 'racists' - effectively labelling us, in the eyes of the far-Left, as legitimate targets.

Nobody else in British political life has to put up with this. That is why I have needed personal security since 2013. The Home Office refused to help for years and last year cut the funding it offered me.

I have to pay for private security - and now I also fund protection for my family, too.

Anyone wondering about the 5million gift I received from a friend, which has been splashed across countless headlines recently, might consider the costs of my private security. After the murder of dear Ann, I can think of five million reasons for accepting that help.

But of course it's not just about me - and I want to stress that this is not a party political issue. It is sad that our democracy should have come to this but I have committed a future Reform UK government to providing public protection for all MPs and political leaders judged to need it - including the leader of the Green Party.

Sickening

No thanks - needless to say - from Polanski.

Instead, if anything, the Left has reacted to recent events by doubling down on their incitements against us.

After an Islamist terrorist mowed down dozens of innocent people at the Berlin Pride parade at the weekend, Labour MP Kate Osborne tried to blame his sickening attack on... Reform UK and GB News. She announced bizarrely that we were part of an 'escalation of hate' across Europe, acting as a 'catalyst for real-world physical violence'.

And what does Ms Osborne have to say about the Green Party leader sharing a hateful image calling for me to be murdered? Nothing at all.

Polanski must face the consequences of his appalling decisions. Political violence is real. It is serious. It needs dealing with.

FIRSTLY, are you OK? Caring, sharing Holly Willoughby blessed us with a return to the broadcast world this week, floating back down the airwaves like a blonde cherub on a candy-floss cloud of crud.

On Together, her new lifestyle show on YouTube, Holly was once again amongst mere mortals to show us how to deep fry vegetables, grate cheese, boil water and make small talk with Stanley Tucci for what seemed like a jail stretch.

It took the pair of them 50 minutes to make one simple dish – spaghetti with fried courgettes – and that makes it sound more interesting than it was.

Am I chopping, chopping, chopping? Holly asked at one point, gazing help- lessly at some basil leaves. Well, some- thing was certainly being shredded, but the smart money was on career prospects rather than soft herbs.

Fifty minutes! In that time, the Duchess of Sussex would have hand-tied eight bouquets of luxury premier roses, gift- wrapped enough homemade gourmet chocolates to feed an army, brandished her upside down jam tongs. PaceTimed Harry to remind the world of her ongoing Royal Connection and Celebrity Status, prepared a multi-course banquet of TikTok dishes for her imaginary showbiz friends and laid half a dozen eggs herself to show her tardy chickens exactly how it should be done.

Holly takes a more laidback approach to this lifestyle television racket, believing that her embryonic skills as a chat show hostess – aided by her carefully curated silly-sausage, Bridget Jones-like persona – will power her through the shallows.

You are quite specific with your everything; she said to Stanley at one point, 'Do you ever eat anything not like I imagine you eat?' [sic] was another piercing howitzer from this master inter- rogator, who is also no slouch when it comes to being a food critic. 'It tastes a lot more complex than I now know it is,' was her verdict on the spaghetti in this Rocky Horror of a Holly show.

YOU have to wonder. What does she want from us, the viewers? Are we really supposed to warm to yet another undercooked maga- zine programme fronted by a woman with a bouncy blow dry wielding a wooden spoon while pretending she's not worth about £12 million, with hot and cold running Birkins and a large personal staff at her disposal?

We have been there – most recently with Meghan and her With Love (Netflix) series – and we are not sure we want second helpings of this performative nonsense.

Or is that too harsh? Perhaps this YouTube souffle of cheese just needs a little time to ripen and rise. Maybe sometime next century it will climb out of the steaming landfill of banality that has so far marked its debut.

In the meantime, it has been more than 30 months since Holly left ITV's This Morning under difficult circumstances. In 2022 she and co-host Phillip Schofield were heavily criticised for allegedly skipping the queue at Queen Elizabeth's lying-in-state at Westminster Hall in London.

In a country rightly obsessed with queues rules and etiquette, this did not go down well. Then

In the time it

took Holly and Stanley to make one simple spaghetti dish, Meghan would have whipped up a banquet!

there was the departure of Schofield under a very dark cloud, following an 'unwise but not ille- gal' relationship with a young man who worked on This Morning.

And a man who plotted to kidnap and murder Holly was jailed for life in 2024, with a minimum sentence of 16 years.

For 14 years Holly and Phil were the most successful duo on day- time television – but not even they could survive the scandal. His disgrace – rather unfairly – ruined not just his own reputa- tion, but smoked across hers, too. Today, Holly says that, after everything she has been through, she doesn't care what people think of her new show, and

perhaps that is just as well. Together is unscripted and filmed in documentary format, complete with shaky camera angles and shots of the crew crammed into a small corridor, dutifully laughing at all Holly's little jokes. There is even a camera inside the on-set fridge, so we can see Holly peer- ing at the shelves and rootling around for spring onions.

Thrilling is not the word I am looking for.

There are five strands to Together, including Talk Together (a gabfest in which C-list female stars discuss who they want to 'sh'g') and Look Good Together, which will feature fashion and beauty. The first show was part of

Cook Together, in which she intro- duced her friend Stanley, who she squealed 'is in every film that has ever existed, and he also happens to be an extraordinary cook.'

Rubbish, of course, but oh god, here he comes; the don of yawn, the signor of bore, a man who never tires of telling British peasants that 'each pasta shape is meant to be paired with a certain sauce' as if we hadn't worked it out for ourselves years ago.

Stanley is so pleased with him- self and so utterly oleaginous that he carries a bottle of olive oil around with him at all times, presumably harvested straight from his own kneecaps. 'How annoying am I?' was his opening

Unappetising: Holly Willoughby and Stanley Tucci on her new show

gambit on Together. Don't tempt me. He likes to present himself as a sophisticated man of the world but wasn't above making a smutty joke about a courgette eight minutes into the programme.

For her part, Holly is pleasant enough and super-keen to be seen as relatable. For in this world of counterfeit countertops and bogus kitchens, authenticity is all. Look at her! She is wearing jeans and drops the F-bomb, so normal and high street, just like us. Yet this facade soon falls apart when she takes a bottle of wine out of the fridge and is alarmed to discover it is something called – gasp – pinot grigio rose.

'It's pinot grigio, but its pink, how weird is that?' she cries.

It's not weird at all, Holly. Twenty-one million bottles of it are sold in the UK every year and it is a popular, cheap tipple primarily consumed by women aged 25 to 54 – exactly your view- ing demographic. I would have thought. Then Stanley is a bit suffy about Italian sparkling wine, which will not go down well with the prosecco mums, either.

THIS is what gets me. These fake lifestyle knewens enriching their own reputations and bank accounts at the expense of other women, who are encouraged to trust and believe in them.

On her recent appearance on the Australian version of MasterChef, the Duchess of Sussex told contestants that her mother Doria was a wonderful cook and that she grew up eating amazing Californian produce.

Perhaps this was just to burnish her credentials as a judge who knew one end of an organic carrot from the other, yet previously Meghan has repeatedly said that she was a latchkey kid who grew up on microwavable food, TV dinners and eating at chain res- taurants such as Taco Bell and the salad bar at Sizzler. Can all these homecooked versions of reality be true?

In this lifestyle show world, simplicity, truth, coherence and good taste are the ingredients that so often get left out of the main recipe. However, when Cook Together finally ended and the spaghetti was served, at least Holly and Stanley seemed pleased. 'You're amazing,' she said to him. 'No, you're amazing,' he replied. It really was amazing.

Hunt for the survivors in Japan killer quake after mall caves in

SCORES of people were trapped and many feared dead last night after a powerful earthquake hit southern Japan and destroyed a shopping centre.

The 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Kumamoto on Japan's southern island of Kyushu yesterday afternoon, and left one person confirmed dead and at least 100 injured.

And rescuers were last night desperately searching through the rubble of the Aeon shopping mall in the hope of finding survivors, with up to 30 employees unable to be contacted. One witness who

'It came crashing down at once'

saw the second floor of the shopping centre collapse in a large explosion said: 'A large cloud of smoke billowed up - the area around us was in a state like volcanic ash was falling.'

A police source told local broadcaster RKK that many deaths are expected as the search continues, while a 400-bed hospital in Kumamoto said it was 'already at full capacity' dealing with injuries.

Spokesman Yoshitaka Matsuoka said: 'People with injuries such as fractures caused by furniture falling over in the earthquake are being brought in one after another. We have 400 beds but we are already running out of space.'

Sanae Takaichi, the Japanese prime minister, said on social media that she 'extends her heartfelt condolences to all those affected by the disaster'. She added: 'The government will work

tirelessly through the night to swiftly assess the overall damage situation and carry out emergency disaster response measures, starting with the rescue and life-saving of those affected.'

Graphic videos emerged yesterday showing the devastation as it happened, with shoppers running for cover as roads buckled and buildings collapsed.

One showed stone from the wall surrounding Kumamoto Castle - one of the country's most famous castles - crumbling to the ground.

'It didn't fall down piece by piece - it all came crashing down at once,' an eyewitness said.

Several people on a high-speed train at the time of the earthquake were also injured while multiple people were unaccounted for after a chimney collapsed at a Nippon Paper Industries factory.

Power has reportedly been lost to 50,000 homes.

The earthquake was recorded as a shindo 7, the highest level on Japan's seismic scale, and was followed by several strong aftershocks. The epicentre was in the city of Uki, south of the city of Kumamoto, at a depth of six miles.

The Japan Meteorological Agency has warned residents of more strong quakes over the next week, as well as the risk of landslides being triggered. About 100 aftershocks have been detected since the first earthquake.

The quake came just over ten years after two separate earthquakes struck Kumamoto in April 2016, leaving 277 people dead and injuring 2,800.

EXCLUSIVE

By Glen Keogh Special Correspondent

A MOTHER and a boyfriend she had known for only a few months were yesterday found guilty of murdering her two-year-old daughter following a sickening campaign of violence.

Isabelle Welsh was abused over a number of weeks by her mother Alexandra Walker, 26, and paedophile Harrison Simpson, 22, who was also found guilty of sexually assaulting the child.

In the run-up to her murder in September 2025, Isabelle suffered 21 broken bones, internal tears from violent sexual assaults and had 97 soft tissue injuries from being tightly held and shaken, Teesside Crown Court heard.

And shortly before her death, the toddler was sent home from hospital after doctors overruled other staff's concerns for the child. A final 'massive head injury' was then inflicted upon her, consistent with being 'violently shaken' and her head 'impacting a hard and unyielding surface such as a wall or hard floor'.

When it was clear Isabelle was gravely ill, Walker smoked a cigarette rather than call an ambulance, using Google to search: 'Why would my toddler be bleeding?'

'Motionless at foot of the stairs'

She finally called her stepfather for help an hour later and he immediately told her to dial 999.

Despite an ambulance arriving to her property in Thornaby, Teesside, within a minute, Isabelle could not be saved.

Just 11 days before her murder, she was reluctantly taken to a GP and then hospital by her mother with a fractured leg.

Staff at North Tees Hospital in Stockton, Co Durham, did not want to allow Isabelle to leave with her, fearing potential abuse.

Walker had waited two weeks to seek treatment despite Isabelle struggling to walk. She claimed the young girl must have hurt her leg when it got caught in her cot.

When concerns were raised at the hospital on September 2, Walker became 'argumentative' and angry - lunging at a nurse who raised the issue of safeguarding.

The mother warned the nurse that speaking to a safeguarding team was 'totally unnecessary'. Doctors on a paediatric team eventually overruled the concerns and Isabelle was allowed to leave with Walker.

A health visitor was asked to speak to Walker because of the hospital's initial concern - but she did so over the phone and Walker convinced her that everything was above board. Less than a fortnight later,

on September 13, paramedics found Isabelle lying motionless at the foot of the stairs.

Tragically, the same nurse who raised safeguarding concerns was on duty when Isabelle returned to hospital and could not be resuscitated.

The nurse said the child was 'covered from top to toe in

bruises'. In court, Walker blamed Simpson for the injuries. Simpson declined to give evidence but his barrister said Walker was responsible for Isabelle's death.

The trial heard the couple met in summer last year. They had a volatile relationship and would regularly drink and

take cannabis together. Prior to Simpson's arrival, footage showed Isabelle playing happily and she had regular nursery attendance.

Simpson had shown an unhealthy interest in Isabelle including bathing her alone unprompted, which led Walker to search the Sex Offenders' Register for his name.

Despite this, Isabelle was left alone with Simpson on the morning of her death.

Jurors found the pair guilty of murder and child cruelty. They face life imprisonment when sentenced tomorrow.

Isabelle's father, Josh Welsh, said it 'means the world' to 'have justice for Isabelle'.

HARRY crashing Meghan's appearance on MasterChef Australia with a video call seems par for the course. Whenever Meghan has been filming, it has become customary for Harry to 'pop in' at suspiciously convenient moments. Has she got a strategically placed button to summon the duke just as the late Queen had in her audience room? When conversation was flagging, the Queen's equerry would magically appear to signal that time's up. Her Majesty's boredom alert was hidden under a side table. Where does Meghan secrete her alarm for Harry Pavlov to respond to?

ANDY Burnham's man of the people pose will soon backfire with voters, predicts Sir Anthony Seldon, biographer of eight prime ministers. 'Blair got a lot of ridicule for 'Call me Tony' and Cameron for 'Call me Dave', says Seldon. 'People don't want somebody who is condescending down to their level. People want to look up to somebody.'

RECEIVING her damehood in tandem with David Beckham's knighthood, Elaine Paige recalls bonding with his wife Victoria, pictured. 'When Victoria saw me she gasped,' says Elaine. 'But then she said how marvellous I looked, thank goodness, and when I told her my handbag was one of her designs she clutched her chest and said, 'I love that, thank you so much'.' Isn't life grand?

CELEBRITY crimper Nicky Clarke is never off duty even when on holiday, according to comedian Sally Phillips. 'On honeymoon we ended up on an island in The Maldives with Nicky Clarke and his squeeze,' she tells a podcast. 'She had very complicated hairstyles every day. You'd imagine they'd be having amazing sex, but he was plaiting her hair in strange formations.' Never a bad hair day with Nicky!

GLENYS Roberts, late of this parish, recalls a trip with Bill Oddie back when smoking was allowed on planes. 'He was so incensed by the woman who wouldn't stop puffing away in the seat in front of him that he threw an airline blanket over her head and tightened it round her neck,' she says. 'The offending passenger turned out to be a nun. Her reaction was far from godly.'

NIGEL Farage's court jester, curmudgeonly comedian Jim Davidson, remains a lifelong Conservative and has persistently declined to join Reform. The reason? A self-proclaimed cheerleader for Margaret Thatcher, he wants to retain his membership of the ultra-Tory Carlton Club.

GRAHAM Norton extols the joys of lone childhood summer holidays in County Cork. 'Friends? Sorry, are you saying friends?' he asks on a podcast. 'No, because I went to Protestant schools, so all the Protestants would be shipped in from a wide area. I would finish school then go home and I wouldn't know any of the kids in the neighbourhood. I liked it.'

SPECIAL REPORT

by Ian Gallagher & Arthur Parashar

THERE are some things Sonia Exelby's family would doubtless rather not know. Among them, precisely what terror the gentle 32-year-old music tutor from Portsmouth experienced in the final minutes before she was allegedly murdered by a sadist who worshipped an Egyptian god of death. It is painful enough to know that Sonia was fully aware her end was imminent. Locked in a cabin in a Florida forest thousands of miles from her English seaside home, she managed to send a disturbing final message to a friend while her captor was taking a shower.

She said: 'I thought he'd do it quick and not give my mind time to stew.' There's a sense of resignation about her hastily typed words. 'My time's up,' she concludes.

She was stabbed to death soon afterwards. Days later her body was found in a shallow grave near dense woodland.

Former pizza deliveryman Dwain Hall, 53, who met Sonia on a fetish website, will stand trial for her kidnapping and murder later this year and, if convicted, will likely face the death penalty. He has denied the charges.

In an age where TV dramas and documentaries explore the darker sides of humanity, leaving few taboos unbroken, the harrowing story of Sonia's brutal death still has the power to shock.

For Sonia willingly travelled across the Atlantic and paid her abuser to torture and kill her.

While her family remain plagued with questions about how Sonia came to meet her death, there are many disturbing details they'd rather be shielded from.

Some of how she ended up in her captor's hands is outlined in a Florida police report. It is delivered in the flat prose of officialdom, though is no less distressing for it.

ONE passage stands out like a beacon. Sonia, says the report, wanted to meet 'online individuals who would be willing to kill her violently'. Evidence left on her computer, it added, indicated that 'she was travelling to the United States to be possibly sexually abused, tortured and murdered by unknown individuals'.

It is one thing to be suicidal – and Sonia had long struggled with mental illness – but it is her apparent willingness to submit to violent degradation and being killed that her family find unfathomable. They still await answers.

For now, though, when images of Sonia's desperation at the end of her life crowd her loved ones' thoughts, they counter them with those summoned from a vast portfolio of happy childhood memories.

There were the summer days she spent on her family's yacht, sailing to the Isle of Wight with her siblings. Then there is Sonia, the chorister, with the voice of an angel. And Sonia the musician who effortlessly mastered the piano, flute and guitar. And not least how her almost ethereal calm – her family knew her as 'Lamby' because of her sweet nature – put everyone she met at ease.

This is how they strive to remember her. To this end, Sonia's

family have now released a tribute to a 'truly beautiful person, inside and out' who 'was softly spoken and always gave the best hugs. She was the baby out of us that kept us bound together.

She had the gentlest soul – so gentle that she chose to become

vegan, because she couldn't bear the thought of any animal suffering just so she could eat.

That was who she was: kind, compassionate, and full of love... Being around her felt special – she brought a calmness and warmth that made everything feel a little

lighter... she never judged, never criticised – she simply accepted people as they were and loved them for it.

'That is something so many of us will carry with us forever.'

With so much still unexplained, what is undeniable is that Sonia's

childhood was a loving one. One family member went so far as to call it 'beautiful'.

Along with her four-year-old sister, Sara, she was adopted aged one by a civil servant and his wife in Portchester, Hampshire. Later she was reunited with her birth mother and four older siblings. One of them called it 'the most incredible thing to have them [Sonia and Sara] back in our lives'. Schoolfriends recall Sonia as someone quiet and kind who loved performing in the choir.

At sixth-form college she had a boyfriend with whom she shared her love of video games and animals. Outwardly all seemed well, but depression loomed, just as it had done with her 'vulnerable' biological mother.

SONIA had destructive thoughts about her body image and dropped out of university when her mental health problems became 'overwhelming'. Throughout her 20s she grew increasingly withdrawn and sought solace in video games and strangers she met online. Her life was spiralling.

By 2023, Sonia became a recluse, rarely venturing from her Portsmouth flat. To the dismay of her family, she confessed to browsing online suicide forums.

Then, through a hardcore fetish pornography website, she met someone with the username 'alphasadist'. It turned out to be roadside mechanic Dwain

In August 2024, Sonia used the encrypted messaging app Telegram to arrange to fly to the US and meet men who had allegedly promised to help fulfil her fantasy

of being violently killed. But a close friend raised the alarm and Hampshire Police intervened, removing her phone and laptop for her own safety. Nevertheless, the following spring Sonia made plans to fly to Florida to meet Hall. But he cancelled, citing his wife's deteriorating health.

In a phone call with Sonia, Hall said he owed $10,000 ($7,500) to the Internal Revenue Service. Sonia offered to help pay $4,000 ($3,000) of his debt in exchange for Hall helping her, as he put it, remove the 'trappings of humanity'. In other words, she would give him money to pay the taxman and in return he would

fulfil her fantasy of being abused and killed.

On Friday, October 10 last year, Sonia flew from Heathrow to Gainesville, 110 miles north of Orlando. Significantly, she booked a return flight for the following Monday afternoon. It might have been a cover story for immigration officials but it also suggests perhaps that she wasn't entirely sure how the trip would end.

When she failed to return on Monday, her boyfriend posted an emotional plea for help on Instagram. 'We believe she has arranged to meet someone... and has got herself into an extremely vulnerable situation.' Her family were, he

added, 'terrified for her safety'. Sonia and Hall, who picked her up from the airport, arranged to spend a weekend in an isolated two-bed cottage just outside the small town of Reddick in Marion County, 15 miles north of Ocala. As she flew across the Atlantic, Hall bought a shovel, a 50ft length of rope, gun cleaner, a parachute cord and deodorant spray.

It emerged that, in the hours after Sonia arrived, seven attempts were made to use her Lloyds bank cards but all failed, until an eighth went through on her Tesco debit card for $1,200 ($900). The charge was for services to Solver Wolf Roadside Assistance - Hall's recovery firm. His van was spotted outside the Airbnb by a neighbour.

Sonia's harrowing, typo-filled message to an online friend via Discord (an instant messaging app popular with gamers), appears in a report by the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

At times it appears garbled. 'I'm sorry he keeps taking my phone he doesn't trust me with it. He made it clear there was no way out unless I shoot him. I was questioning it last night. I can't kill anyone. [I] realize this is the last thing I'll ever day [say] to anyone if I don't take his offer of shooting him. He showed me about [how] to use it and where to aim it. I'm so scared I'm so broken and in so much pain all I can do is lay here and doing what gee [he] wants makes him respect me enough not to do the things I really hate. Everything but some are.'

The message ends: 'I'm sorry I don't even know what I'm saying and I'm trying to be quick and My times up.'

That night, before he went to sleep, Hall phoned his wife to tell her that he loved her. The next day, he recorded a four-minute 'consent' video of Sonia, an apparent strategy to esculpate him from blame if arrested. Terrified and withdrawn, Sonia looks dishevelled and is wearing the same floral dress she wore when she boarded her flight at Heathrow. There are bruises and abrasions on her face, neck and torso.

Hall commands Sonia to admit that she has travelled here to die and that no one is forcing her to be here. She is only able to nod and shake her head in response. On the recording she says she is an 'awful person' and that she deserves to 'suffer'. Hall deleted the video three seconds after filming it but police were later able to retrieve it from his phone.

Later, when questioned by police Hall - sitting cross-legged, his arm thrown over the back of a sofa, at times appearing nonchalant - offered a twisted explanation for Sonia's subdued demeanour. He claimed it was because she was 'disappointed' by his reluctance to abuse her.

On October 12, Hall left the cottage and drove 30 minutes south towards Ocala to buy a plastic

tarpaulin from a DIY shop before driving a further 13 minutes and pulling into a quiet road next to dense woodland. GPS data retrieved from Hall's phone by police revealed he stayed at the site for about an hour. This was the same spot where police suffer dogs found Sonia's body five days later in a shallow grave.

She had been stabbed four times. Her blood was later found on Hall's 7in customised steel knife. The blade is engraved with the words 'Dorkworthy point end goes into the other guy' - a reference to another of Hall's online monikers, 'Darkworld'.

Hall was charged with kidnapping and first degree murder in November last year.

The Daily Mail has obtained unseen transcripts of Hall speaking to his wife of 28 years, Ginger Stein, from Marion County Jail in Ocala as he awaits trial.

In them, he appears resigned to his fate, admitting: 'I don't think I'm ever coming home.'

'It's a lot to deal with, I'm sorry,' he tells Ms Stein, 44.

In what appears to be a reference to the $4,000 he told police that Ms Exelby had agreed to pay him he goes on: 'We needed money but we didn't need it this bad.'

ELSEWHERE, Hall seems furious at being portrayed as 'monster'. He refuses to accept he has done anything wrong, instead blaming Sonia for her brutal demise. 'You don't know how worried I am about losing you because when all the s about this case starts coming out it is going to look so f bad,' he tells his wife. 'I was trying to help somebody and humans have a tendency to screw you over and that is basically what happened. I am not the monster that they are painting me out to be.'

'But we all know what the end result was - it was just compassion and love - I tried to give Sonia what she wanted. I tried to do it in a sense that was compassionate and not being a freaking monster and just picking a victim and seducing them to do whatever and taking advantage of them in any way shape or form.'

Hall accepts that 'in simple terms there is no defence', but he adds: 'I don't believe I did anything wrong.'

It is not a sentiment shared by Sonia's family. Not that they have any wish to dwell on details of the case. 'We know that life wasn't always easy for you, but your life was so much more than the struggles you faced,' they said in their tribute. 'It is so important to us that the life you lived is what you are remembered for.'

'You were deeply loved, and you will always be deeply loved.' 'We miss you more than words can ever say. We love you so much, always, and forever.'

Talc giant offers £4bn to settle cancer claims case

JOHNSON & Johnson has offered to pay $5.5billion (£4.14billion) to resolve tens of thousands of lawsuits that claim its baby powder caused cancer.

The pharmaceutical giant proposed the settlement in an attempt to end a long-running legal battle in the US - ahead of a potential £1billion case in the UK in 2028.

The US company denies its talcum-based products caused ovarian cancer, describing the

By Emily Hawkins

claims as 'meritless'. It changed the formula of its powder from talcum to cornstarch in the US in 2020 and globally in 2023.

The settlement covers 76,000 claims and will see $3billion paid out next year, ahead of further payments in 2028.

Johnson & Johnson's Erik Haas said the 'resolution allows the company to put this matter behind it'. The firm added: 'Studies show talc is safe, does not contain asbestos and does

not cause cancer.' For the settlement to be finalised, legal firms representing 95 per cent of the claims in US courts must accept. In Britain, more than 3,000 people filed lawsuits at the High Court last year claiming they or a family member developed ovarian cancer or mesothelioma - a form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure - as a result of using the baby powder. A trial is set to begin in February 2028. Lawyers believe the claims amount to more than £1billion.

TIMELY CLICK OF FINGERS

Video nasty: The fielder's trick was caught on a live stream

TOURISTS swarmed on to Saltburn-by-Sea's pier yesterday, guzzling fish, chips and Mr Whippy ice-creams, but a few hundred yards inland, another great Victorian landmark was eerily quiet. The seaside town's historic cricket ground, with its white picket fence and neatly mown outfield, stood empty. Not a single holidaying schoolchild was using its well-tended nets or 'Arthur Heslop Indoor Training Facility'. The doors to a £600,000 lottery-funded pavilion were bolted shut.

All that could be heard was an occasional seagull, venturing inland from the North Sea. And this unseasonal calm turned out to be at the centre of an utterly toxic storm.

To blame is a bizarre cheating scandal which, in just a few short hours, has turned Saltburn Cricket Club from a beloved local institution, which last year celebrated its 150th birthday, into a symbol of sporting corruption which has made headlines around the world.

The whole thing revolves around an incident during Saturday's match against Norton Cricket Club, in which Saltburn's second XI were seeking to cement their place atop Division Two of the North Yorkshire and South Durham League.

Footage shows the match nicely poised, with Norton on 39 for 2, when its number four batsman, Noman Shabir, strode to the crease. He then played at and completely missed his first delivery, a ball from Saltburn's Sam Morrison which had pitched outside the off stump.

So far, so normal. As the ball passed Shabir, however, something very strange had happened: the fielder standing at first slip clicked his fingers.

This imitated the sound of the ball nicking the edge of Shabir's bat. And when the wicketkeeper then took the ball safely, the fielding side appealed for a catch. Having heard the noise, the umpire raised his finger to give Shabir out.

ALTHOUGH the batsman was clearly outraged, his attempt to explain to the elderly umpire that he hadn't actually touched the ball got short shrift. Saltburn duly went on to skittle out Norton for 143, giving them a thumping 159-run victory.

There things would have ended, were it not for the fact that (in common with many recreational cricket matches in the online era) the game happened to have been live-streamed online. A recording was preserved on the English Cricket Board's 'Play Cricket' website.

A Durham-based amateur cricketer named Ben Mummery, who had been tipped off about the series of events, was therefore able to post footage to X, where he dubbed it 'about the worst case of cheating I have ever seen in cricket'.

By last night, that clip had clocked up more than six million views.

Viewers then began to trawl the archives for other similar incidents. They promptly turned up dozens,

by Guy Adams

suggesting that Saltburn (which, ironically, calls itself a 'friendly, sociable and inclusive cricket club') had been employing the cynical scam for more than a season.

In almost every one of the clips that have emerged, the same portly man can be seen standing at first slip, clicking his fingers as the ball whistles past. He has been widely identified as Saltburn's opening batsman, one Brian Devine.

One particularly damning video was posted by Rory Cotterill, the captain of Middlesbrough CC's second XI. He said there had been two more incidents like it in a single game they played on Saturday, June 27, which Saltburn won by 29 runs, leading to a 15 and 16-year-old being cheated out of an innings.

He added: 'I was at the non-strikers end at the time, unknowingly watching them cheat in real time'.

Other cricket fans to weigh included Piers Morgan, who dubbed the club's behaviour 'outrageous cheating' and a 'shameful scam'. Several posters dubbed Devine 'Clicky Ponting' - a play on the name of former Australian captain Ricky Ponting - on social media.

A formal investigation by the cricketing authorities is now under way. A statement from the North Yorkshire and South Durham League reads: 'The League has received a formal complaint regarding alleged incidents in a Division Two game on Saturday 25 July 2026. A full investigation has been initiated and until such time as the formal processes are complete, no further comment will be made.'

Disciplinary options include booting Saltburn out of the league, which

Scam: Saltburn's Brian Devine gets ready to click his fingers to give the impression the ball has nicked the bat

Under suspicion: Saltburn 'legend' Brian Devine poses with the title trophy in 2023

Fielder at centre of cheat scandal rocking amateur cricket – dubbed 'Clicky Ponting' – is DROPPED by his curry house sponsor ... but DEFENDED by his girlfriend's mother!

has been running since 1892 and is one of 30-odd 'premier leagues' at the top level of recreational cricket in England and Wales. Sanctions could also involve giving individual players, or even the entire team, lifetime bans or suspensions from the game.

For Devine, justice is perhaps already being served.

The bespectacled businessman, who has played 481 matches in a 24-year amateur cricket career and was previously described on Saltburn's social media feeds as a 'legend' of the game, was last night reported to have been suspended by the club.

I had earlier caught up with him by phone at Northallerton Auctions, a local livestock auction house where he works as company secretary. As cows mooted in the background, I asked whether he

had any alternative explanation (aside from cheating) for the finger clicking.

'Naturally, I cannot comment on that,' he replied. 'I also cannot answer any questions because I am currently at work.'

Later, Devine faced the ignominy of being ditched by his official sponsor, a local Indian restaurant named Spices which he patronizes regularly.

Proprietor Akmol Hussain told the Daily Mail: 'I'm very shocked and disgusted by this video and can't believe that Brian would do something like this. I've met him many times, but he has damaged the reputation of cricket and my restaurant.'

It was left to Georgina Vaughn, the mother of Devine's partner Clare, to defend his honour. 'It was only a little village cricket

match and now it's become this thing that's all over the news and social media,' she said. 'It has got totally out of hand and there is nothing any of us want to say.'

Asked whether Devine was a man of integrity, she replied: 'He certainly is.'

Statistics suggest otherwise, however. They reveal that in the 13 matches that Devine has played for Saltburn this season, wicketkeepers have taken an astonishing 39 catches. In the seven that he hasn't played, they have managed just five. And in one single match, against Shildon Railway on July 18, no fewer than eight catches were claimed by wicketkeeper Josh Bowes.

To put that number in perspective, the record for wicketkeeper catches taken in a single men's Test innings, over a period

spanning 2,600 matches and 150 years, is a mere seven.

Bowes, a local electrician, has been the main beneficiary of Clicky Ponting's scam.

Despite only playing in about half the side's matches, he has taken 31 catches this season, which is ten more than any other keeper in the league.

Last season, he only managed to take 12 catches, and the year before he had a mere six to his name.

The haul equates to almost four catches for every single match in which Bowes has played. In matches where Bowes doesn't play, Saltburn's wicketkeepers have claimed a more normal haul of around one catch per game.

Among the questions the league will now have to unpick is that of who, aside from Devine, was in on

the scam. Videos of suspect wickets show several bowlers and fielders appealing with huge enthusiasm when the fielder clicks his fingers.

Yet it is of course possible that they, like the umpire, believed they had heard the sound of bat on ball.

The truth about who knew what is likely to be found in the WhatsApp group in which team members discuss club affairs, though it's unclear whether investigators will have the power to compel the club to release it.

At the bowls club next door to Saltburn's cricket club, a member suggested it was highly unlikely the organisation would go out of its way to co-operate, telling me: 'If the cheating has come from the top it would not surprise me. There are some nasty pieces of work among those who run it.'

WHATEVER the outcome, the scandal is just the latest in a long and ignoble tradition that stretches back to the earliest days of the sport, which generally results in rules being updated.

In 1771, for example, Thomas White walked in to bat in a cricket match in Surrey, with a bat 'fully as wide as the wicket itself' making it impossible for him to be bowled out. Two days later, laws were passed limiting the maximum size to 4½ in.

The 'Bodyline' Ashes series of 1932, in which England's bowlers aimed at the body and head of Australian batsmen in an attempt to nullify their star player Donald Bradman, led to rules changing to prevent large numbers of fielders being placed behind square on the leg side.

And Trevor Chappell's infamous decision to roll the ball on the ground in 1981 to prevent New Zealand achieving victory by hitting the last ball of a match for six, saw authorities update laws to make such deliveries illegal.

Fast forward to 2018, and Australia's captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner were caught using sandpaper to rough up one side of the ball to help it move erratically in the air during a Test match against South Africa in Cape Town.

And now, we might have to add Saltburn's very own opportunist to the scroll of dishonour of cheating cricketers: Clicky Ponting.

The Spanish villa we put years of love and labour into was consumed by wildfires in hours

THEY named it Casa de los Suenos – House of Dreams – a three-bedroom farmhouse with a bar surrounded by olive and almond trees in the tiny rural hamlet of Puente del Albarico, 230 miles east of Malaga in southern Spain.

For more than two years, Cameron and Sue Evans carved out an idyllic life here as expat retirees, hosting friends, getting to know the local community and walking their two beloved dogs in the stunning pine forests and rugged foothills of the Andalusian mountains.

But today, they tell me, their home looks 'like a war film'.

With the surrounding landscape 'blackened and smoking' and little pockets of glowing ash still burning, their house of dreams has been razed almost to the ground by wildfire. The entertainment room with a bar where they'd spent many happy evenings with friends and family has been destroyed, as has the artwork they'd spent years collecting on their travels. The trees that framed the property are burnt to a crisp.

'We put two-and-a-half years of labour

and love into the house to make it our home, and it was just gone within 24 hours,' says Cameron, 60.

Devastating as it is, a home can be rebuilt. Thirteen other people fleeing the inferno that also hit the nearby neighbourhood of Bedar in Almeria earlier this month – seven of them Britons – did not escape.

'We're the lucky ones,' says Cameron, even as he surveys the charred remains of his home. Friends of friends are among the dead, including Annette Elligour, 69, who was killed while trying to escape the blaze. She and her husband, Malcolm Timbrell, 70, had moved to the village of Bedar, below Puente del Albarico, from Cornwall, finding their home on the TV show A Place In The Sun in 2022. Both had lost previous partners due to terminal illnesses.

Already this summer 300,000 people have been evacuated from the path of catastrophic wildfires across Europe, with at least 254,000 hectares of land burned.

Fuelled by a rolling series of extreme heatwaves and strong winds, fires in the Gironde region of France and west of Madrid in Spain have threatened scenic holiday locations and major urban centres, and are still burning. Both countries have declared national emergencies as a result and warned that extreme wildfire

but we're still the lucky ones here

danger is likely to continue throughout August.

But the blaze that hit the Evanses on July 9 remains Europe's deadliest this year.

At one point moving at about 300ft per minute, the fire rapidly burned across 17,000 acres, trapping people in hilly regions with few escape routes.

It began, remembers Cameron, with a seemingly innocuous 'little puff of smoke' on the horizon.

The couple moved to Spain in

2024 from Blackpool, where Cameron had worked as a maintenance engineer for Johnson & Johnson, and Sue, 69, worked in non-teaching roles at a school.

Early that Thursday evening, he and Sue watched the smoke for about ten minutes as it began rolling down the ridgeline of the hills a couple of miles away.

They weren't overly worried – they had seen wildfires on the horizon before. Last year, friends, and then the authorities, had told them to evacuate the farmhouse while firefighters tackled another nearby wildfire. But on that occasion they were allowed back to the house after 24 hours.

Now they decided they would

leave only if the wind changed direction – but that didn't take long. Twenty minutes later, just before 6.30pm, the fire began to head towards them.

Grabbing a bag containing their passports, house deeds and insurance documents – and of course their dogs, English pointer Phoebe and cocker spaniel Molly – they drove down the hillside to Bedar, 20 minutes away, to join forces with a small group of fellow Britons from the area.

'We were all stood at the car park, wondering what to do,' says Cameron. At this stage they had received no alerts from the local authorities. But the situation was fast becoming perilous – just half

an hour after reaching the village, 'the wind had pushed the fire to the edge of Bedar'.

'You could actually see the smoke getting thicker and thicker, and you could see flames on the top of the hill,' says Cameron.

Anxiety rising, they decided to move again, and got back in their car to drive ten minutes down the twisty, semi-mountainous road to the next town, Los Gallardos. It was in the sports centre here that people had been told to gather in an emergency.

But now the fire was beginning to encircle them – and before they could reach Los Gallardos, flames had torn across the road and blocked their path. They tried a

Reduced to rubble: Expat retirees Cameron and Sue Evans stand in what is left of their rural home after a wildfire swept through

back road out, but 'the fire was all around us' and moving fast. 'It was on the hillsides, you could see it coming quite close, within 50 or 100 metres,' recalls Cameron.

Now he felt panic, realising that ploughing onwards would mean certain death and yet unsure whether the way back was also now engulfed by fire.

It was a white-knuckle journey as their small convoy of cars turned around and tried yet another route. Cameron remembers the horrifying thought that the car in front of them wasn't going as quickly as they needed to in order to outrun the blaze. As the fire sped through bone-dry vegetation, with no breaks or obstacles, it was moving significantly faster than the average wildfire. Driving past, hearts in their mouths, the fleeing Britons could see it spark and flare in the undergrowth.

Eventually, mercifully, they made it out of danger, across the baking foothills to the tiny town of Lubrin nine miles away.

Here the Red Cross was giving out emergency supplies, and they were at least safe from the flames.

Hoping the fire would be contained once the sun was up, Cameron and Sue parked nearby and tried to get some sleep in their

car. The next morning, however, they were told the entire area was still a danger zone. Pears for their house began to mount.

Meanwhile, unbeknown to them at this point, Annette Kilgour had already perished in the Bedar fire. Initially both she and her husband Malcolm had fled their house in the village, but Malcolm had decided to return to rescue their two cats, Charlie and Lilly.

Attempting to catch up with Annette and a group of other neighbours, he found himself

Evanses now found somewhere to stay an hour's drive away, but even from there 'we could smell the fire - in fact we could see it in the hills. There was ash falling everywhere and smoke in the air'.

The area they had fallen so deeply in love with less than three years before had turned on them with a ferocious power.

It was on a trip around Europe to mark Sue's retirement that they decided to follow their dream and move to Spain. While visiting Sue's daughter in Murcia in the south of the country, their camper van broke down and they ended up staying for six weeks. Shortly after, they began to plan their own Spanish idyll.

'Sue had lost her mother the year before and wanted a change,' says Cameron of his partner of more than 30 years.

The third place they looked at - a rural home, parts of which dated back 250 years and built into the hillside - was the clincher. 'Sue looked at it, and said, 'Right, I want to move here.''

'It's not an easy life, living so rurally. Sometimes you have water, sometimes you don't, or the electricity goes off.'

Indeed, last year they had no water for three months.

Yet 'it is a beautiful, beautiful

place, and it's so peaceful,' says Cameron. 'It's good for the mental health, it's relaxing.'

'And the people in the area, the villagers, once they get to know you, are very friendly.'

Of course that tranquillity has been utterly shattered for now.

It's not known how many homes were destroyed in the July 9 fire, but the village of Bedar now looks like the surface of the moon, a sea of black ash deposited over its gently rolling hills with just the occasional villa left intact among the devastation.

Instead of a summer spent at social events across the neighbouring villages, the calendar has been filled with funerals.

Not that the Evanses knew what they would return to, when the area was considered safe enough to visit a week after the fire.

As they drove towards the village, their mood was positive as they 'chatted away' - but once what was left of their home came into view 'we went quiet and then were both in tears'.

Seeing the wreckage was 'unbelievable' says Cameron, who even now is overcome with emotion.

'You're bewildered. It's like: where's it all gone?'

The farmhouse was burned almost entirely, yet the random-

ness of the fire's path meant some neighbouring properties were completely untouched.

Others had survived either because they were built on higher ground or had large boulder-strewn terraces where nothing could grow or burn.

Mercifully, a cubbyhole under their stairwell has kept the Evans' family photos safe. But 'the house itself was the most sentimental thing for us, as it was a new start in a new country in a beautiful place' - and that was gone.

Given the scale of the damage and the rebuilding project, they are unlikely to be back in their home for at least six months, probably more.

The situation, they say, is simply 'heart-breaking'.

Now many in the community are questioning the actions of the authorities in the midst of the crisis. Amid conflicting reports, the Belgian son of one of the fire's victims has issued an open call for information to construct an accurate account and timeline of the Bedar blaze.

Residents say that no official warnings were given about the fire, while the authorities maintain otherwise. Legal proceedings are now under way.

UK-based Danielle Gillam-Kirton, whose parents both

'We love it and we still want to live here'

perished in the fire, is supporting the call, writing on social media. 'We implore anyone that has information to help us get answers... anyone that knows my parents knows that they would always stand up for what is right and just, I would be doing them a disservice if I did not do the same.'

Cameron and Sue have begun planning how they could survive another catastrophe. They have discussed building a fire barrier around the perimeter of the property, and permanently keeping an emergency bag filled with documents, non-perishable supplies and clothes so that they are equipped should the worst happen again.

Several weeks on and the shock is yet to leave them.

'One minute you're crying, the next minute you're angry and the next minute you try to laugh it off - typical British sensibilities,' explains Cameron.

Astonishingly, in spite of everything, he believes that moving to Spain remains 'the best thing we ever did'.

In normal times, nothing can beat the sense of peace the couple found there. That's why, despite what has happened - despite their children (and 14 grandchildren) urging them to come back to the UK - they have decided to stay.

'We still love it and we still want to live here,' they say.

The hope has to be that human ingenuity can find ways to defend life and property from the ever-increasing threat posed by fire in a changing climate. But as parts of the continent still remain at the mercy of some of the largest wildfires ever seen in Europe, the battle this year is far from won.

'You could see flames on the top of the hill'

outpaced by the fire with no option but to shelter in a car, which - by an extraordinary twist of fate - escaped the blaze while others around it burst into flames.

Meanwhile, Annette and six others were confronted by a wall of fire and killed.

stopped by police at the school with a hatchet, hammer and 7in kitchen knife. It came after the South Sudanese man was refused

asylum three times and had 'become extremely frustrated in relation to his immigration status', a court was told.

Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard how officers were called to the Edgar Wood Academy in Middleton on

August 8 after reports of a man acting suspiciously.

The school was closed for summer but prosecutors believe Deng intended to set the building on fire.

Brian Berlyne, prosecuting, said a workman had spotted him carrying a petrol can and with a hammer tucked in the belt of his trousers.

Deng then walked towards the back of the building before the workman 'shouted for him to leave'. Police were called, Deng was arrested and officers seized the petrol can, which

'Nobody was listening to him'

contained half a litre of petrol, along with the hammer, hatchet and knife.

Deng, of Heywood, Greater Manchester, admitted seven charges at an earlier hearing including possessing an offensive weapon. The court also heard it was the second school he visited in as many days.

Sarah Haque, defending, said: 'He believed nobody was listening to him or helping him.'

'His intention was to create a scene for attention to try to obtain some kind of help.'

Adams quit Cotswolds so wife can go to university

WHEN it was revealed that Oasis star Liam Gallagher had bought Tony Adams's Cotswolds home for $4million (with no mortgage), there was bemusement about why the former England footballer had decided to sell up.

Adams, 59, had bought the eight-bedroom house – set in five acres near Cirencester, Gloucestershire, and featuring a swimming pool, tennis courts, stables and a two-bedroom cottage – with his wife, whisky heiress Poppy Teacher, in 2002.

He has now revealed his reason for the sale – Poppy is going back to university at the age of 52. 'This is a new era for us,' he tells me at The Oldie magazine's luncheon at the National Liberal Club in Westminster, where he was

promoting his new book, 1996: Reflections On The Year That Changed My Life.

'We've sold the house and are returning to London. My wife is going back to school.'

Poppy, pictured with Adams, says: 'I told Tony I wanted to do early modern history and he said, 'How do you monetise that?' And I said, 'You don't!' But I think he's proud. He's telling everyone I'm doing a PhD, but it's a masters.'

Fittingly for a former Arsenal defender, Adams says: 'We are now renting while we find a new home in north London. We're not going back to the Chelsea area where all the Blues are.'

Poppy became the former Strictly contestant's second wife in 2004 following his recovery from alcoholism. They have three children and he has three more from his first marriage to Jane Shea.

'I've brought up the children, but now I need to use my brain again,' Poppy says. 'Tony and I want to have a London life, do things like go to galleries.'

SHE captured the greed and extravagance, the insecurity and vulnerability, plus the other hallmark of Sarah Ferguson's character – summarized by my colleague Christopher Stevens as 'thoughtless contempt for anyone but herself' – without sharing any of those traits.

Indeed, after portraying Fergie in The Lady, ITV's drama about Fergie's former aide, murderess Jane Andrews, Natalie Dormer, 44, donated her fee to charity. So I'm pleased to see that the Game Of Thrones star has received lucrative rewards elsewhere.

Latest accounts show she made a £400,000 profit in 2025 at Pangur, one of two firms into which she pays her earnings, boosting its bottom line to £1.7million last November.

Suits you! Phoebe finally weds in traditional gown

Mr and Mrs: Phoebe with Leopold. Right, in her dress

WHEN Mountbatten heiress Phoebe Knatchbull married 32-year-old banker Leopold Glover last year the groom wasn't the only one in a suit.

Phoebe, 30, a great-granddaughter of the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, wore a tuxedo dress by her step-sister Daisy Knatchbull, a Savile Row designer, at the ceremony in Chelsea, west London.

But at their second, more lavish ceremony in Portugal at the weekend, she wore a traditional bridal gown. Daisy says Phoebe's 'in her Mrs G era'.

SIR Lenny Henry was happy to accept a knighthood, but the investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle appears to have been a challenge. 'I got knighted by Queen Elizabeth,' he said in the comedy tent at the Latitude Festival near Southwold in Suffolk at the weekend. 'It was a huge honour... although a bit triggering. Posh English person coming at me with a sword – triggering on an ancestral level.'

Helping hand: Georgia with mum Jerry Hall

other business, Bleach London,' says Georgia.

The firm's products include 50ml of Golden Hour Face Oil for £58 and a 50ml of Super Balm Skin Saviour for £50. Georgia, 34, who has a

21-month-old son, Dean, with her boyfriend, Texan skateboarder Cambryan Sedlick, 26, adds: 'Building May Botanicals has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.'

Did Meghan eat her words on chef show?

THE Duchess of Sussex's guest appearance as a judge on Master-Chef Australia may have left some of her admirers rather confused.

She declared on the show: 'I grew up in California and so, as you know, we have incredible produce, so you just start to love farm-to-table at an early age.'

She added of her mother, Doria Ragland: 'My mom's an incredible cook and I grew up watching so many cooking shows.'

However, the com-

ments have a different flavour to some she made last year on her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.

'I was a latchkey kid,' the duchess said then. 'I grew up with a lot of fast food and also a lot of TV-tray dinners.'

'It feels like a different time, but that was so normal with the micro-waveable kids' meals.'

The former actress continued: 'I used to eat a lot of Pollo Loco, Taco Bell... Jack In The Box, because my mom loved their tacos.'

Hiss and make-up...

BRIDGET Jones star Sally Phillips admits that, at the age of 56, she had to concede defeat after being body-shamed by a cosmetician.

She explains: 'A make-up artist said to me recently, 'I'm going to put powder on'. I said, 'Do you put powder on now at my age?' She said, 'You don't put gloss paint on a cracked wall.' So, powder it is.'

STEPS you must take now to survive a midlife money MELT DOWN

FOR middle-class women of a certain age, redundancy, divorce and illness are the trio of financial torpedoes that can blow up a previously comfortable existence.

When the solid-seeming foundations supporting our lives are ripped away, the emotional and financial fall-out is profound.

No one, male or female, is immune to shocks. But women face particular challenges in bouncing back.

The march of AI into the workplace has led to well-founded fears that the equal opportunities women fought so hard to win are being bulldozed in front of our eyes.

Women aged over 55 are being overtaken in their careers by young, male tech boss, according to recent research by Google. Even the most tech-savvy can find their CV thrown in the digital bin by sexist bots who couldn't care less about decades of achievement.

Which is why an article in the Daily Mail last week by fifty-something former fashion editor Stacey Duguid struck such a chord with so many of her peer group.

Stacey's problems finding a job after taking time off work following a divorce plunged her into a stomach-churning downfall from a six-figure salary to the JobCentre.

NONE of us is bullet-proof, no matter how enviable our careers — but it need not turn into a full-blown midlife money meltdown. A descent like Stacey's is every middle-class woman's worst nightmare and I'm not going to pretend to have a magic set of answers.

However, I have navigated potential financial crises myself, including my husband's cancer diagnosis and, more recently, my move from a full-time executive job to starting my own business.

My message, based on my experience and 30 years of writing about money, is this: the more financial control and confidence a woman acquires, the greater her chances of surviving life's disasters and maybe even coming out stronger.

This is not merely a feminist manifesto. The more financially resilient we are, the better we can step up for our families.

My mum's earnings as a teacher kept our household afloat when my father was made redundant in the 1990s. Similarly, I was thankful to be able to act as breadwinner when my husband was laid low with cancer. I've talked to three female

Picture: ARHUR PIZINOX financial experts — and one male one — on how to beat a midlife money meltdown.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

'ONE of the best ways for women to build resilience is to take an active role in your finances,' says Clare Moffat, tax and pensions expert at Royal London.

In other words, if you have a partner, do not leave the finances to them. Ideally, have open, regular conversations about money and be aware of one another's savings, investments and debts.

'Financial independence isn't about having to manage everything on your own. It's about having enough knowledge and confidence, so you're not left in the dark if circumstances change,' adds Moffat. 'Taking decisive action can help protect your financial future.'

CONTROL YOUR SPENDING

GOING through your outgoings to identify wasteful and needless spending is a good regular practice.

Why are you paying for a subscription you haven't used for years? Check out comparison sites to see if you can cut bills. The boss of Money Supermarket's parent company told me last week that his customers collectively saved around £3 billion last year by using the website.

Almost all of us could pare back on household bills. That money can be put to work for you to build financial muscle for the future.

THINKING OF SAFETY FIRST

A GIRLS best friend is not diamonds but an emergency fund.

Financial advisers recommend setting aside six months to a year's outgoings. That sounds a lot — but even small, regular amounts accumulate over time.

How much is enough really? Lisa Dolg, a financial adviser with Thorntons Wealth, says: 'It's all relative to your wealth, but £20,000 is a comfortable amount for many. That would cover a new boiler, a deposit for a car and so forth.'

BUILDING UP SOME WEALTH

HAVING a cash emergency fund that you can access quickly is essential. The problem with deposit accounts, however,

I've seen redundancy, divorce and illness blow up the finances of countless women at their career peak. But you CAN emerge stronger, says money guru RUTH SUNDERLAND

is they have a nasty habit of losing value because of inflation. The best way, therefore, to accumulate long-term wealth is to invest in stocks and shares.

It's possible to do this with small, regular sums from $25 a month. Spread the risk by buying funds such as investment trusts that hold a collection of shares and other assets. If you use an Individual Savings Account (Iaa), it's tax-free.

'Research suggests that women are actually better investors than men,' says Richard Watkins, a chartered financial planner at Continuum. 'They trade less, leave ego and emotion out of decisions and plan for the long term.'

'This results in better performance of around 0.8pc a year, which might not sound much but turns into a significant out-performance over 20 years or more.'

If you start in midlife, you might even become an Isa millionaires.

'Take inspiration from Jane Barr, now 77, who retired in her 50s after a divorce. She built up a portfolio worth just over £3 million in her Isas by investing regular amounts from her modest salary, as she explained to my colleague Jeff Prestidge: dailymail.co.uk/isa-williams.'

PRIORITISE PENSIONS

NEVER neglect your pension. It is essential for the fabulous 'future' you who will emerge from the current crisis.

Because of generally lower pay and career breaks to care for children, women typically retire with savings worth around 54pc less than men.

So pay as much into a pension plan as you can, whenever you can.

If you work for an employer, you will benefit from free payments from them into your plan, as well as tax relief on contributions at your highest rate.

'Making pension saving a priority throughout your career, and being confident about negotiating pay and progression, can make a significant difference to financial security in later life,' says Moffat.

In divorces, pensions are often overlooked, even though they are usually the biggest asset after the family home.

As a consequence, divorced women reach retirement with around 61pc less private pension wealth than divorced men. Don't let that be you.

Know your rights and make sure you get what you're entitled to. There are three main options when dealing with pensions in a divorce. You can share them on a clean-break basis, one partner can earmark some of the income to be paid out after retirement or you can offset their value against other assets.

If you are made redundant and don't need to use your entire settlement, it may make sense to stash some of it in your pension, particularly if you are close to the age of being able to draw on it.

You can pay up to £60,000 or £90pc of your annual earnings, whichever is the lowest, into your pension each year. That

My message – based on 30 years of writing about money – is: The more financial confidence you acquire the better you'll survive life's disasters

will boost your retirement income and save tax. You may also be able to use any unused allowance from the past three tax years. 'Paying part of a redundancy package into a pension can be a tax-efficient option,' adds Moffat.

If you are aged 55 or over, you can start drawing your private pension, but bear in mind that means less in the pot for later.

INVEST IN YOURSELF

THE best investment you can make is in yourself.

Up-to-date skills are crucial for midlife women. Mid-level admin and service roles typically held by women are under particular threat from AI.

Kate Alessi, the boss of Google in the UK and herself a midlife woman, recently commissioned research that found only 4pc of women aged over 55 are advanced AI users.

She says: 'There is a risk existing inequalities will become more entrenched, so it's important we address this, but the good news is that it is very solvable. It is quite simple for anyone to use AI skills.'

For details of online AI courses, including for beginners, see the government hub: aiskillshub.org.uk/ai-skillshoot or type grow.google into your search bar.

Even if you feel secure in your career right now, it is worth keeping your professional profile up to date on LinkedIn and other networking and do sites.

Invest in real-life friendships and professional contacts.

Human beings who know how brilliant you are will be far more likely to help you find work than a sexist, agent, but.

Self-employment is another route. I'm working like a demon now I am in business for myself – working as a commentator, consultant and director of a foundation – but I love being my own boss.

BE CALM – AND DON'T PANIC

THE immediate period after a trauma is not an ideal time to make big financial decisions such as selling a property.

Wait until emotions have calmed and consider consulting a professional financial adviser.

'I often work with women going through divorce in midlife, mainly coming out of long marriages and not used to handling the finances,' says Louise Oliver, a financial expert at Piercefield Oliver.

'They reach out to me as an expert and they often feel safer with me being a female financial planner.'

Currently, only 16pc of advisers are female according to Oliver, who adds: 'The same emotions and principles can apply to redundancy.'

Watkins advises keeping a sense of perspective. In most cases, he says women can handle midlife shocks without a catastrophe.

Pull-on money meltdowns among professional women are actually fairly rare in my experience,' he says.

'Women today can earn more and may inherit

more than their mothers did. In my experience, professional women are articulate and well able to act on financial matters.'

Divorce, redundancy or both in midlife may feel like the end of the world.

But Doig says: 'It doesn't have to be. I am on my second divorce and it's actually a happy one.'

You can obtain free information from organisations such as the government-backed Pension Wise (see money help@gov.uk), but not advice or recommendations.

For individual advice to fit your personal circumstances, you need a qualified adviser regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

You can find an adviser on websites such as unbiased.co.uk or vouchedfor.co.uk, which show details of companies in your area or that suit your needs.

Initial meetings with a financial adviser, lasting an hour or so, are usually free.

That is a very useful resource, but keep in mind an hour isn't long when discussing decisions that could shape the rest of your life.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU

IN an ideal world, women would have been building their financial strength gradually, so that when a trauma strikes they start off well-equipped to handle it.

Even if that is not the case, midlife is not too late to bounce back.

'Financial resilience isn't built overnight, but small steps taken today can make it much easier to cope with whatever life throws at you tomorrow,' says Moffat.

'A setback in your 40s or 50s doesn't mean you can't rebuild.'

5 TIPS TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE

TAKE STOCK: Get a clear, unemotional picture of debts, assets and spending. A short pause for breath will produce better outcomes than panic moves.

CONSIDER INDEPENDENT ADVICE: Heightened emotions can lead to poor decisions. Friends and family may not be objective. A professional adviser may be the answer.

SELF-BELIEF: Research from bodies such as the Financial Conduct Authority's Financial Lives survey has repeatedly found that women report lower financial confidence than men, even when their underlying knowledge is comparable. That can lead to excessive fear and caution. Back yourself.

RENT A ROOM: The Rent a Room scheme allows up to £7,500 a year tax-free for a single owner letting out a spare room in their main home.

MONETISE A HOBBY: A good friend began making money in her 60s from her hobby by offering workshops on how to make jewellery from sea glass. Baking, sewing, tutoring, photography and writing may all be ways of bringing in income.

ELECTRIC car sales are revving up as petrol costs surge and new models launch each month to cater for every type of driver. There are now more than 2.1 million EVs on Britain's roads. Buyers are being tempted with more than 160 new electric models over growing distance capabilities – the average range has shot up from 235 miles in 2024 to 300 miles today – and prices as low as £11,990.

The Government's Electric Car Grant, offering motorists up to £3,750 off a new sustainable EV, has also helped more than 140,000 drivers save thousands on their new car.

But with more than 50 new models set to launch or go on sale in the UK this year, it is difficult to choose the right one for your needs. I've taken over 80 of the most popular EVs for a test drive, covering thousands of miles to see how they compare. Here are seven new electric cars that just get it right, from the cheapest to the most aspirational, and the one that will make a caravaner's heart sing.

THE FAMILY ONE Hyundai Kona Electric: From £33,500

THE Hyundai Kona EV arrived in the UK in 2018, making it one of the first affordable electric cars on the market.

The Kona Electric of today (the name has changed) is a more modern and advanced model. But everything that made this car such a success over the past decade is still present – and it's perfect for families.

The subcompact SUV easily seats five, and the rear careless bench seat is a smart bit of design to allow those in the second row to enjoy more room. And it boasts a useful 466-litre boot and 27-litre trunk (front trunk). It's full of tech – including a 24.6-inch panoramic display – and has a sustainable, premium interior. As for its driveability, it's a smooth, comfortable, easy-to-handle EV that everyone will like. It's also very efficient, which helps die out its 319-mile range.

BEST SEVEN-SEATER Kia EV9: £66,645

SOUTH Korean manufacturer Kia's EV9 is one of the largest on the market at over five metres long. For big families, it's the ultimate electric Tardis.

I've packed seven adults in the EV9 for a round trip of around 200 miles and the review was hugely positive from all. The only unhappy passenger was in the front and didn't enjoy the fact that his friend sitting behind him was able to control his seat.

Kia has made the EV9 luxurious as well as sustainable inside, with headrests made from plant fibres, plastics made from corn extract, sugar cane and sawdust, and a cabin crafted from ocean waste. It's full of storage space – large door bins and cubbles, as well as an 828-litre boot (with the third row folded).

Its range of up to 349 miles, and ultra-fast charging up to 154 miles in 15 minutes, means it's perfect for travelling long distances. The EV9 ticks all family boxes, while looking cool in a hulking, boxy and futuristic way.

BEST BUDGET ONE Honda Super-N: £18,995

THE Super-N, right, is Honda's second attempt at creating a retro-inspired EV after its 2020 Honda-e – ahead of its time with cute futuristic looks and a high-tech interior – failed to capture buyer enthusiasm.

This model carries the same adorable-looking DNA and fun inventions but is much cheaper than the £26,160 Honda-e.

At last month's launch, it was clear this tiny EV – one of the smallest cars on the market at under 3.6m long, 1.57m wide and 1.6m tall – would be an instant hit. It's full of character with its kei car-inspired design (kei cars are the smallest road-legal models sold in Japan).

I'm happy to confirm the Super-N is a box of hilarity to drive. Hit its purple 'boost' button and power goes from 47kW to 70kW and reduces the 0 to 62mph time from 14.5 to ten

I've tested over 80 electric cars. Here are the best for every kind of driver

FREDA LEWIS-STEMPEL picks her favourites — whether you want a spacious family car, budget runaround or a sporty number...

seconds. The seven-speed gear shift lets you feel the revs of each virtual gear, and active sound control and purple lighting simulation are a thrill for wannabe racing drivers. This EV, with four seats and a 199-mile city range, is cheap fun on wheels.

ONE WITH THE LONGEST RANGE

Volvo EX60: £64,860

THE Volvo EX60 will officially be the EV with the longest range on sale in Britain when deliveries begin in August. If you get

the P12 AWD variant with its 117kWh battery, the car can run 503 miles on a single charge, narrowly beating its rival BMW iX3 by three miles. That's almost London to Ben Nevis on one charge.

The EX60 can charge up to 370kW, which means you can add more than 200 miles of range in just ten minutes. It will charge from 10pc to 80pc in approximately 15 to 18 minutes.

Those who want comfort will enjoy the EX60's interior: Scandi-cool sustainable materials, such as wool-blend and Nordico upholstery, create a classy and serene ambience. With 523 litres

of boot space, which rises to 634 litres when you include the underfloor compartment, the EX60 has plenty of space for families.

ONE FOR CARAVANNERS

BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport Pro Touring: £83,855

LAST year, the BMW i5 eDrive40 M Sport Pro Touring won the best electric car for towing category at the Caravan and Motorhome Club's Towcar of the Year Awards. With judges calling it 'a superb performance across the board', the i5 eDrive40 M Sport Pro Touring showed electric cars can be great tows.

In fact, EVs are excellent for towing because their electric powertrains deliver instant torque, a low centre of gravity that makes them stable, and their regenerative braking helps slow a heavy load down without putting excessive wear on the brakes.

The i5 is also a luxurious estate that's spacious for a family of five, has a 570-litre boot with underfloor storage, and is loaded with tech and premium features including heated quilted Veganza seats, a huge BMW curved display with video streaming and games built in, and a Bowers & Wilkins surround-sound system.

SPORTY ONE

MG Cyberster: £55,245

THE Cyberster (main picture) is the halo car of MG's range and brings the brand's roadsters of its heyday to EV buyers today.

The Cyberster is an electric car if you have a multi-car garage — it's a second or third car rather than your only vehicle. Nor can I say it's perfect to drive as it can be flighty.

Put the roof down on a warm day when the sun is shining, and the Cyberster makes you enjoy electric driving in a truly emotive way. The flightiness only comes in when you push past 75mph, but that adds to the sense of fun.

The two-seater EV model is nostalgic and stylish. If you've got over £55,000 and you love to drive, then buy the UK's first all-electric roadster — and opt for the English white with the red hood.

ASPIRATIONAL ONE

Denza Z: £172,900

A LOT of people have a dream car if money were no object. Maybe a Lamborghini Revuelto or a Ferrari 849 Testarossa. But what if you're after an electric supercar? Well, the Denza Z could be the answer.

You might want to turn your nose up at a Chinese EV or a Chinese supercar, but Denza — a luxury, tech-focused sub-brand of BYD — is doing something other manufacturers aren't. It's offering drivers an electric car with mind-blowing performance for a price that's half of what you'd pay for a Revuelto or Testarossa.

The Denza Z, when bought in the Racing variant, can cover 0 to 62mph in 1.96 seconds. Top speed? 217mph. That's faster than the Ferrari and on par with the Lambo. It's barely slower than F1 cars, which do over 230mph.

I've driven it around Goodwood Motor Circuit and can confirm this thing is a missile. It charges in just five minutes thanks to BYD's Flash Charging technology and covers 236 miles on a single charge (255 miles for the Coupe).

The track-ready Racing version will cost £172,900, yet the Coupe (£142,900) and Spider (£159,900) are cheaper and still do 0 to 62mph in 2.3 seconds with a top speed of 186mph.

How to HAGGLIE ON

By Toby Walne

HAGGLING leaves most of us feeling awkward. Driving a hard bargain or squabbling over a couple of pounds feels contrary to the tradition of British reserve.

So it's little wonder that few of us even dream of trying to negotiate a discount at the supermarket or on the High Street.

But what if a cheeky request could slash prices?

We sent our reporter Toby Walne to Bishop's Stortford. Hertfordshire, to see if it is possible to haggle money off at popular chains such as Boots, Tesco, Marks & Spencer and Waterstones.

First, he spoke to experts to learn about the art of negotiation. When he deployed these tricks in store,

he was surprised to find he could save up to 40pc – and he uncovered little-known policies that shops have on giving out discounts. Here are his tips and the hidden price slashing tricks that will save you money.

TESCO

AT 10AM on a Monday, this superstore on the edge of Bishop's Stortford is already heaving with customers. I spy a couple of 17 Tesco Finest Greek extra virgin olive oil tins that have a small dent in them, and ask sales assistant Mandy if I can get a discount on the price.

She says she must check with the manager. A couple of minutes later, Mandy is back with a yellow

reduced sticker machine in hand – 'Was £7.00. NOW £4.20' it reads.

'How about that? Better than a poke in the eye,' Mandy says.

When I push her for a discount on other products, she says she cannot budge but guides me to a corner section of the fruit and vegetables aisle. She adds: 'Lumps, bumps and bruises. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of this stuff – it is just looking a bit unloved.'

Five apples, one with a bruise, reduced from £2.13 to £1.06, and five oranges, one with a soft spot, are down from £1.50 to £1.02.

Mandy and I agree many of those 'best before dates' are nanny state nonsense. But if you spot an item

marked with a sell-by date of that day or the next, you've got a good chance of negotiating a discount if one hasn't already been applied. In that case, find a shop worker and point it out.

Mandy takes me to a pile of six dozen trays of 1kg strawberries down from £4 to £2.72 – with the best before sticker showing that day's date.

SAVINGS TIP: Negotiating over imperfect items can result in an immediate 40pc discount. Unloved fruit and best before dates bring savings up to 50pc.

MARKS & SPENCER

THE downstairs food hall is bustling at midday but upstairs the clothes section is ghostly quiet – just me and a suspicious store worker who watches me study garments in search of marks.

Shop assistant Eva says: 'We can give a 10pc discount on items with a mark – perhaps someone has left a smudge that can easily be cleaned off. But I fail to find any blemishes.'

Jenny Keefe, of Money Saving Expert, says: 'Look for the tiniest of dents or scratches – or marks on clothing. It makes them more difficult to sell.'

After politely asking if there is any other way to get a better price, Eva's manager Martin steps in and points to a charity bin. He says that if I have old M&S clothes, I could bring them in and get a £5 discount voucher to spend on something new. This is a great idea.

I plan to root round at the back of my wardrobe for old M&S items I no longer wear. And if I can find M&S items at the charity shop for less than £5, I might snap these up to exchange for the discount.

SAVINGS TIP: Ask about discount schemes – there may be ways to knock money off the price that you haven't thought of.

BOOTS

AS I wander through the aisles of a large Boots store, assistant Karys catches me by the deodorants section, admiring scents such as 'black vanilla', 'marshmallow smoke' and 'cherry spirits'.

It is a friendly icebreaker to start bartering. I ask Karys if there's any room for a deal on

one of the deodorants. She says: 'You can get a third off Lynx deodorant and we will match your purchase by donating the same deodorant for a charity food bank where it is given to those that need it. But we do not negotiate.'

Instead, Karys guides me to a sorry looking shelf of discontinued half-price items.

Yardley talcum powder, which I thought had stopped being sold in the 1970s, has been slashed from £12 to £6, while a £100 electronic blood pressure monitor is now £56.

I point to an 'over 60s reward shopping day' poster by the entrance with up to 20pc discounts. I ask tongue-in-cheek if I could apply, and the response from the young assistant makes me realise the joke is on me as she says she doesn't see why not (I'm not 60 yet).

I need to sign up for a Boots Advantage loyalty card. This requires me to provide only basic personal details and I can't see there's anything to stop me exaggerating how old I am.

No chance that I am doing that, but bringing an elderly relative happy to use their Boots card can save you cash.

SAVINGS TIPS: Small talk can pay off – in this case it earns me a trip to the half-price bargain aisle of unloved items I hadn't previously spotted. If you have someone in your household who is eligible for a discount, it may be worth asking them to do the shopping.

H&M

AT THE clothing store, I notice that some prices are higher in shop than online.

I discover a linen jacket costing £94.99 in the shop selling at a 55pc discount for £38 online and present my findings to the department manager Kasea.

'Sorry. We stopped price matching a year ago – but you are still more than welcome to order online and pick it up later,' she says.

She says it might be possible to knock 15pc off a garment if it is marked – though eagle-eyed cameras stop unscrupulous shoppers soiling clothes.

The Polish-born manager admits that rude customers get short shrift but a polite and friendly manner goes a long way. We chat about how her 11-year-old son hopes to become an architect. Softening, Kasea says: 'We are holding a flash sale tomorrow – 20pc off selected items. Come back then. Let's see what we can do.'

Antiques dealer and expert haggier Gordon Kennedy says: 'Being polite and friendly costs nothing – and if they like you it will help get you a good deal. Being rude and pushy will get you nowhere.'

SAVINGS TIP: Treating staff with courtesy and good manners can pay off.

WATERSTONES

THE bookshop lures customers in with bargain-priced best-sellers at the front of the shop – you get to 'buy one get one half price' with popular authors such as Richard Osman (The Impossible Fortune, £9.99) and Dan Brown (The Secret Of Secrets, £9.99).

But logging on to the Waterstones website, I see that it is offering 25pc off forthcoming bestsellers with a 'Summer28' code – such as Osman's We Chase Shadows – not offered in the shop.

The quick online search pays off. Store assistant Ben says: 'We can match book prices that are on the Waterstones website – so if you find it cheaper simply show me and I will be happy to charge you the lower price.' Ben admits that I might get

THE HIGHEST

Most wouldn't dare to ask for a discount at Boots, M&S or Tesco, but TOBY WALNE sweet-talked his way to 40% savings. Here are his tips to save your pennies... and blushes

M&S: £5 OFF FOR DONATING OLD CLOTHES

15pc knocked off the price of a book with a folded page or slight mark but adds that company policy means he cannot budge on the £12.99 for a pristine copy of Beowulf by Seamus Heaney I hold in my hand.

Beside me stands a small blond child wearing round glasses who looks remarkably like the Milky Bar Kid. I ask Ben: 'What about if he started counting out his pocket money in pound coins on to the counter and only had £10? Would you take that? It might start a lifetime of love for poetry?' Ben

cannot help but smile at the suggestion – and I think that he probably would.

SAVINGS TIP: It's always worth checking a store's website to see if they're selling the item you want for cheaper online as it may price match in store.

WAITROSE

THE upmarket store is the toughest nut to crack, I quickly realise. Haggling by the checkout is a mug's game, believes Waitrose shelf stacker Dan, who explains

that the money saving tricks of the trade are in the aisles.

The London School of Economics graduate believes I am wasting my time trying to chisel a reduction but should hover around the fruit and vegetable aisles.

Right now I can pick up a £1.90 mixed stir fry for £1.46 and £1.80 rocket salad for £1.42. Dan says: 'I start putting 'too good to waste' stickers on food expiring the next day around 4pm for about 20pc off. Around 6pm a second sticker goes on – and you can pay half price for same-day expiry.' What

about damaged packages and dented tins? Supervisor Vina offers a wry smile. She says: 'We have had issues with this in the past and no longer offer a discount. It used to be around 10pc.' SAVINGS TIP: Find out from staff when discounts are typically applied – it could save you up to 50pc.

PROCOOK

IN THE ProCook chain store I ask manager David about getting money off. He says he can't offer a discount but if I spend more than

£100 on saucepans they might be able to throw in a £9 spatula. If I push the boat out and spend more than £200 I could get a financial discount.

He adds: 'For certain customers, such as blue card holders who are carers or work in the NHS, there is a 10pc discount at the tills. It is up to the manager if they decide to extend it to others.'

SAVINGS TIPS: If you can't get a discount, you may still be able to get freebies. It may be worth asking about discounts for groups of people, for example NHS workers, students or over-65s.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE

■ Putting a smile on someone's face is a great way to start – and that requires being polite and friendly, says expert haggley Gordon Kennedy.

A cheesy charm offensive is not necessary but good manners really help. What will not work is someone being forceful or rude – perhaps telling you the price they are willing to pay and thrusting money at you, he says.

Always treat everyone exactly the same. That means not talking down to a shop assistant but treating them as an equal.

■ Pick your moment. Try to shop at a quiet time when staff are not rushed and can indulge in small talk. Put yourself in their shoes – they have to make a living but are also there to help. It may be necessary to gently ask if it might be possible to speak to the boss for a discount.

■ Pick your words carefully. Antiques dealer Kennedy, who is also a Money Mail Race To £10,000 contestant, suggests: 'Rather than demanding a discount, try phrases such as 'is there anything else you might be able to do?' 'Is there any wiggle room?' or 'I love it – but it's a bit above my budget'.

When haggling you might disarm with, 'I don't want to insult you with an insulting offer' – and leave the ball in their court to respond, Kennedy adds.

■ Price reductions are possible – even for High Street shops. Comparison website Money Supermarket says the average discount negotiated is 13.5pc. But you need to be flexible – the more you spend, the more likely the discount. Ask about extra freebies as another option.

■ Do your homework. Check out the competition in other shops and the internet before haggling, says Reena Sewraz, retail editor at consumer group Which? That way you can ask if your retailer is willing to price match the same item you have found cheaper elsewhere. 'Many retailers participate in price matching to undercut a competitor's rate,' she adds.

Boost your savings by up to £375 with my inflation-busting deals

SAVERS had more reason to cheer last week when official figures told us the continuous rise in the cost of living is finally slowing (at least for the time being). Prices are still rising – but at 2.6pc a year in June down from 2.8pc in May. This is far lower than the eye-watering heights of 11.1pc in October 2022.

There are now 1,960 savings accounts that pay more than inflation, according to rate scrutineer Moneyfacts. That's excellent

Sylvia Morris The expert at boosting your savings

sy.morris@dailymail.co.uk

news, as it means our savings will be growing in value while sitting in these accounts. What worries me is there are still some 600 accounts

on the market that pay less than inflation. Easy-access accounts are the most popular – we hold a huge £916 billion in them against £258 billion in fixed-rate bonds. Savers appreciate they can get their hands on their savings when prices are relentlessly rising.

The average rate on an ordinary easy-access account that is newly opened is 2.55pc. At this rate, your money will not hold its value because the interest you earn is not enough to match the rise in the cost of living.

Even worse, Bank of England figures show the average rate is just 1.6pc – but this includes all the old accounts savers have held for years.

You could be in one and losing out heavily. In an average-paying account you will earn £160 interest on £10,000. But you need to earn £260 just to keep pace with inflation. By sticking with the big banks (as a lot of us do)

or an old account that pays a pittance, you will lose out further.

With Halifax Everyday Saver or Instant Saver, where you often end up after a year in one of its better paying accounts, you will see just £75 interest on £10,000.

Other big banks are terrible value, too. Lloyds pays £75 on £10,000 on its Easy Saver. Even if you have £100,000 in the account it will pay just 1pc.

Santander Everyday Account pays £90 in interest on £10,000. NatWest Flexible Saver and Barclays Everyday Saver £100 and HSBC Flexible Saver £105.

You can boost this by up to £375 a year by going for a top-paying account.

The top rate comes from Saga at 4.5pc and is only available to the over-50s. But make sure you move your money again in a year's time as the rate comes with a 1.84 percentage point bonus for the first 12 months.

I don't list accounts with bonuses in my star buys.

Charter Savings Bank will pay you 4.21pc – or £421 on £10,000 – online. Other internet accounts will also pay you much more than inflation with no bonus or withdrawal restrictions, such as Hampshire Trust Bank (4.18pc), Family BS (4.15pc) and Hodge Bank (4.01pc).

Sally Sorts It

Our fearless readers' champion

Dear Sally

I ORDERED £1,000 from online bureau de change TravelFX for our summer holiday. The currency was despatched via Royal Mail special delivery, which guarantees next-day delivery, tracks the parcel and requires a signature on receipt. I did not receive the money and contacted TravelFX to complain but have got nowhere.

P.K., Nottinghamshire. TRAVELFX uses the Royal Mail special delivery service to send out all of its orders. When currency does not arrive with a customer, it initiates a claim on the Royal Mail insurance, which is included as part of the service. Should the claim be successful, the customer's money is refunded.

Your order didn't arrive on the day expected and TravelFX told you that 'it appears that the package remains undelivered within the Royal Mail network'. Its contract says it will not make a claim for a missing order until five business days have passed since the currency was despatched.

Once the five days elapsed, TravelFX asked Royal Mail where your euros had gone. The currency firm apologised for the inconvenience but warned that the process can take up to 30 days and it won't make a refund until Royal Mail confirms the delivery didn't arrive.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 states that when a delivery goes wrong, the retailer should sort everything out by either offering a replacement or a refund promptly, or certainly within 30 days. I attempted to clarify matters with TravelFX, but its customer service would not talk to me as I was not its customer, even though you gave me permission to speak on your behalf.

You asked TravelFX about seeking a chargeback on the purchase, as you bought the currency with your debit card.

TravelFX discouraged you by pointing to a stern paragraph in its terms and conditions, but I thought you were within your rights to try. When I asked Money Mail's consumer lawyer Dean Dunham, he said: 'Generally, a chargeback claim will be successful on the recognised ground of 'goods not received', if the claim is made within 120 days.'

However, there are two caveats: currency is often coded as 'quasi-cash', which banks may resist, stating they do not cover cash withdrawals and transfers, and if the special delivery tracking shows the parcel was signed for, the claim likely fails, whereas if it shows it was lost, the claim is strong. My view is that the chargeback scheme would cover P.K. on the basis that under section 29 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods – including currency – stay at the trader's risk until they reach the customer, so the bureau bears the loss and must chase Royal Mail.

Meanwhile, since Royal Mail was at fault for apparently failing to deliver, I also asked for its response to your predicament. It wouldn't discuss your complaint either. I had to wait until I heard from you about Royal Mail's decision on TravelFX's claim for your lost currency.

A week or so later, you informed me Royal Mail insisted your package had been delivered and

cancelled the contract and paid nearly £90 in monthly bills for what was basically a non-existent service. It now says I also have to pay £500 for cancelling early. Surely the contract is void as the company did not provide what it was supposed to?

S.H., Gloucestershire. YOU explained how Gigaclear engineers installed the router for the new service in the spare bedroom on your first floor, whereas it had previously been under your stairs and worked well.

None of Gigaclear's customer service's suggestions for improving the service worked, which is why you decided to return to BT.

Under regulator Ofcom's rules, customers have a 14-day cooling off period after installation during which they can cancel a service without penalty. This had passed in your case. Customers can also leave penalty-free if broadband speeds don't match up to a provider's promises within 30 days.

Despite your arguments that you had not received the service you paid for, Gigaclear insisted you pay the £500 remainder of the contract in addition to £87.70 of bills already incurred for phone and broadband.

I felt this was unfair. On my intervention, Gigaclear withdrew the demand. A spokesman says: 'We are very sorry about the issues that S.H. experienced and our support teams tried to help. However, we understand her frustration and have been in touch to let her know that, in this case, we have agreed to cancel all charges.'

I ordered £1,000 holiday cash online from TravelFX but it NEVER arrived ...

signed for, and therefore TravelFX's claim for reimbursement was denied. TravelFX sent you a picture it received from Royal Mail of what you agree was your house, and a second photo taken some distance from your front door simply showing a hand holding some post.

This included a special delivery package, but the name and address were not visible. It told you the package had been signed for but you said it wasn't your signature. You forwarded a copy of your driving licence to try to prove the signature wasn't yours. At this point, everything went quiet at your end. When I asked you about the outcome of the dispute over the signature, you

did not respond. Nor did you reply to several follow-up emails. What to conclude? If I were being gracious, perhaps something has gone wrong at home to distract you. Or have you got fed up with pursuing TravelFX – although £1,000 is a big loss to dismiss? Perhaps I have been given the runaround and the delivery had turned up after all? Or did TravelFX finally cough up?

Whatever the facts, TravelFX hasn't covered itself in glory. I do my utmost to be fair, courteous and helpful. I expect the same in return, but from time to time I am sorely let down.

That aside, anyone who orders currency online and finds that it doesn't turn up shouldn't take it

lying down. If a travel money firm can't prove the cash has been received, it should issue a full refund. If the firm doesn't agree, customers should tell their bank and say that the firm has not met its obligations under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and request it raise a chargeback.

I think I'll be buying my currency in person at a conventional bureau de change this summer.

ON January 15, I signed up to a new phone and broadband contract with Gigaclear. It was supposedly much faster than my existing BT package and ideal for a rural location like ours. It was installed on March 14 but never worked properly. I

IN MAY, Sky was running a promotion for new customers that promised to pay £200 in credit towards your leaving fee if you switched broadband services. I set up a new account with Sky and sent my final bill from my old supplier and my bank statement. But I still haven't had the £200. I opened a complaint and Sky closed it the next day without helping.

M.P., via email. SKY apologises and says it has now applied the £200 credit to your account.

IN DECEMBER, I sent a Christmas present worth £500, which contained make-up and toys, via courier Evri. I purchased the delivery label at the Post Office for £12.70. Two days later, I received a text saying

STRAIGHT TO THE POINT

the driver couldn't find the address. In February, Evri told me the parcel had been delivered to the 'doorstep' on December 30. Then I was told the parcel had been 'returned back to sender due to damage caused' – but I never received it.

EVRI says the delivery address was missing a line, which meant it could not deliver the parcel. It also warned that you had verbally

abused its staff on the phone, which you deny. It has tried to contact you again but hasn't received a response.

I TOOK out a monthly phone contract with network operator Giffgaff in 2022 for my mum, who needed a phone to log into her bank account. She died in 2024 and it has been impossible to cancel the account, despite emailing Giffgaff's bereavement team. I eventually gave up but keep receiving the £6 monthly phone bills on her behalf.

J.C., Derbyshire. GIFFGAFF says it got a request to close the account in January this year and asked you to verify your identity so it could do so. However, it did not hear from you so could not close it. It has now contacted you again.

Daily Mail, Wednesday, July 29, 2026

WE are moving out of our rented flat in six weeks because the landlord put the rent up. An agent has shown around at least 15 new tenants and we're getting irritated with people coming in and out every evening and during our weekends. Can we tell the landlord they can't do more viewings until we move out?

Name and address supplied. I UNDERSTAND your frustration entirely, as your evenings and weekends are being disrupted while you are trying to pack up and move.

The good news is that the law is more firmly on your side than you might expect. As tenants, you benefit from what's known in law as the 'covenant of quiet enjoyment' and a right to 'exclusive possession' of the property throughout your tenancy. This means that until the day your tenancy ends, the flat is legally yours to occupy, not the landlord's and certainly not the agent's. Neither has an automatic right to march prospective tenants through your home whenever they please.

Many tenancy agreements contain a clause allowing viewings during the final weeks. But even where such a clause exists, the landlord and agent must still give you reasonable notice.

This usually means informing you in writing of any viewings at least 24 hours ahead. The agent must also arrange visits at reasonable times. A clause permitting viewings is not a licence to trainee strangers through your living room every single evening and all weekend.

So can you refuse outright? If your agreement contains no viewings clause at all, then yes, you are within your rights to

My landlord's arranged 15 viewings of my flat BEFORE I move out. Can I refuse to let them in?

DEAN DUNHAM KC @deandunham

Our consumer lawyer answers your questions

decline all viewings until you leave. If there is such a clause, you cannot ban them, but you can take control of the arrangements.

Write to the agent and landlord, politely but firmly. State that the frequency of viewings is unreasonable and disruptive and propose sensible limits. For example, one viewing slot per week, on a day and time that suits you, with 24 hours' notice each time. A calm, reasonable letter setting boundaries is your most effective tool.

I SENT my expensive watch away to a firm in Hatton Garden, London, to be

repaired. The firm said it would take 12 weeks, but it has now been 20 weeks and I have not received it back. When I phone, it just goes to a recorded message. I am now worried and just want my watch back, whether it is fixed or not. What can I do – and should I still pay for the repair in full given the delay?

T.H., Coventry. BEING unable to reach anyone about a valuable possession is deeply unsettling. Let me set out both how to recover your watch and where you stand on paying.

When you send an item away for repair, the firm holds it under what's known as bailment. This means they have a legal duty to take reasonable care of it and return it to you. Meanwhile, you are entitled to demand it back at any time.

On the delay, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 requires that where no binding completion date is agreed, a service must be carried out within a 'reasonable time'.

Even where 12 weeks was quoted, a delay of 20 weeks with no contact and no explanation is a clear breach. That failure matters when it comes to the bill.

Do you still have to pay? If the repair has been done to a proper standard, you would normally owe the agreed price. However, you may be able to negotiate a reduction for the delay and distress caused. If the repair has not been completed, you owe nothing and you can insist on the immediate return of the watch.

Here's my advice. Put your demand in writing, by email and in a letter sent by recorded delivery to the company's registered address. You will find this on the Companies House website. State clearly that the watch is your property, that the firm is in breach of contract and that you require its return within 14 days.

If the silence continues, this becomes a matter for the small claims court – or, potentially, one for the police if you suspect the firm has vanished. Check, too, whether your home insurance covers items away for repair. Act promptly and firmly.

TREASURED POSSESSIONS

The Repair Shop, 8pm, BBC1

FIRST into the barn in this repeated episode is the son of folk musician Vin Garbutt, who brings in his late father's mandriola, a 12-stringed version of the mandolin, for further Julyan Wallis's attention. Next, a pair of woven chairs that have come all the way from Tanzania, followed by a pilot's cap belonging to a much-mixed husband and father. Finally, Geoffrey Harvey gets to work on a mammoth American retro pin-ball machine.

HOSPITAL VISIT

Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts, 8pm, Ch5

WHILE Sister Benita (pictured) struggles to find beds at a Jail Barnsley Hospital, Enid is back in A&E for the second time this week. She's struggling to breathe, and the doctors need to work fast. We also meet Jane, a 25-year-veteran volunteer at the hospital who is there with her mum, Mary, who has severe lower back pain after a fall.

EXTRAORDINARY EXTENSIONS, 8PM, CH4

A THIRD series following rapper and property guru Tine Tempah as he meets Brits dreaming big and taking risks as they add size and bling to their existing homes. It's like Grand Designs, but without starting from an empty plot. In west London, a couple take their Edwardian terrace and give it a curvy Art Deco makeover, as an 'avant garde ode to history'. You wouldn't know it

from the outside, but inside, the metamorphosis would impress even the Great Gatsby himself. The second project is in Norfolk, where structural engineers James and Jenny (pictured with Tempah) are extending their 275-year-old chocolate-box cottage, complete with wonky floors and bags of original, if impractical, features. Their family need more space, but they're terrified of spoiling the original charm — and it would be criminal if they did. Happily, they take inspiration from the Norfolk

Broads outside to create an addition that is both strikingly modern and completely complementary. It's a big win for Tine's first batch.

TRUE CRIME

Murder 24/7, 9pm, BBCI

IN REDDITCH, Worcestershire, Chris Hemming calls 999 to report that he's killed his partner, 34-year-old mum-of-three Cheryl McKenna, and does so very calmly and politely. While it seems an open-and-shut case, the details of the police investigation are still grimly fascinating to watch — to answer the questions how and why? What emerges is a distinctly worrying picture of the kind of man Chris was.

Eye In The Sky, 10:40pm, BBCI

TENSE drama about modern warfare, focusing on one mission over one very eventful day. Helen Mirren (pictured) is the British Army officer tracking — by drone — three prime terror suspects in Kenya. A moral dilemma plays out for all involved.

Meet Dr Gallop, the modern forensic scientist with a taste for Sherlockery

TRUE crime is all very well. But for fans of the Golden Age of detection, it can be a little mundane. Where are the eccentric geniuses, the feats of memory and imagination, the sheer Sherlockery?

Meet Dr Angela Gallop, She's a mistress of deduction in the classic mould, to the tips of her brilliantly banished fingernails, their colours carefully matched to her clothes. She is also an internationally renowned forensic scientist, who has scrutinized some of the most notorious murders in recent criminal history.

Cold Case Forensics: The Death Of God's Banker is the first in a series that sees Dr Gallop reconstruct her investigations, walking us through every step of her analysis and explaining the clues that help her create a vivid mental picture of how each murder was committed. It's like listening to Poirot's thought process, before he gathers the suspects in the drawing room to unmask the killer. To prove that Italian banker Roberto Calvi, found hanged

from scaffolding beneath London's Blackfriars Bridge in 1982, did not commit suicide (despite the Met's first assumptions), Dr Gallop rebuilt the makeshift gallows in her own back garden.

Then she persuaded a younger colleague named Phil to clamber along the poles wearing a suit and leather office shoes, his pockets weighted down by rocks, until he reached the furthest beam, where the victim was found dangling.

Phil was willing enough, but it must have occurred to him, as he clung to the rusty metal bars 10ft up, that it's always Sgt Lewis who does the undignified legwork, never Inspector Morse. Seizing Phil's shoes, Dr Gallop immersed them in river water for hours, then examined the soles under the microscope to prove that flakes of paint and rust were indelibly embedded. The victim's own shoes showed no such traces — so he couldn't have climbed along the poles.

The time of death was indicated by Calvi's wristwatch, which

stopped while he was dangling up to his waist in the Thames. Studying the tide tables, a decidedly Holmesian touch, she deduced that he didn't reach the scaffolding by walking on the shore. Eliminate the impossible, as the Great Detective himself once

said, and what remains must be the truth. The banker didn't climb to his death. He didn't walk. Also, someone put him there. This logical process was immensely satisfying. It's a pity that the programme was not executed with the same vigorous

imagination, because most of the budget appeared to be blown on a trip to Rome. There, Dr G interviewed an Italian expert on organised crime whose accent was so pronounced, even the subtitles seeded subtitles. The rest of the show consisted of talking heads: former coppers and crime reporters, sitting bolt upright in front of the camera like schoolchildren in the headmistress's office. Dr Gallop must have that effect on people, even the innocent ones.

THE DEVIL'S MOUTH, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO

THE shadow of Jaws continues to fall across the world of movies with this summer horror film, in which youngsters on a coming-of-age holiday in Thailand take what seems like a lovely trip into a cave called The Devil's Mouth — only to find a deadly shark stinks the waters beneath, ready to drag them to their doom. The Devil's Mouth benefits from casting two leads from teen romance series among the friends — Lana Condor, who was Lara Jean in Netflix's To All The Boys films, and Gavin Casalegno, aka Jeremiah from The Summer

I Turned Pretty. Will either of them become shark meat? Be prepared for some shocked reactions on social media if they do, because this is very much that kind of film. Fans of The White Lotus, meanwhile, may recognise the British-born Tayme Thapthimthong

(pictured above right, with Domm Rose, Nico Hiraga, Condor, Kathryn Newton and Casalegno), who appeared as a security guard in the third series and plays their guide here. The thundering, tension-drenched score comes from the great Bear McCreary.

CLASSICAL CULTURE

The Treasures Of Ancient Rome, 8pm, BBC4

KICKING off a beast of programmes on Ancient Rome on BBC4 is Alastair Sooke's three-part series from 2012, in which the art journalist (pictured) debunks the notion that the ancient Romans lacked artistic ability and merely copied the Greeks. Not only did art flourish in Roman society, but it was often bold and innovative, giving rise to a new, warts-and-all realism in painting and sculpture. At 9pm, in Caligula With Mary Beard, the historian sifts through surviving evidence to establish whether the emperor really did

make his horse a consul, proclaim himself a living god, and kill half of Rome's elite. At 10pm, Sir Derek Jacobi looks back at 1, Claudius the 1976 drama based on Robert Graves's novels, with the first two episodes of the landmark series following at 10.15pm.

THE FOLK SHOW WITH MICHAEL SHEEN, 9PM, RADIO 2

ACTOR Michael Sheen continues to branch out in his career. Later this year, he takes over from Richard Osman as host of BBC2's House Of Games, and now he's sitting in for Mark Radcliffe on his Radio 2 show. A fan of folk music, Sheen says he has found the show 'a big source of pleasure and inspiration over the years'. His own choices include prog rock band Jethro Tull and Yorkshire singer-songwriter Kate Rudy, nicknamed the 'Barnsley nightingale'. Bearing in mind his love of his homeland, expect some Welsh bands to be included, too.

But before then, they are joined by soprano Claire Booth (pictured) for two contemporary works – a world premiere by Australian composer Brett Dean and a piece by Judith Weir, inspired by the poet Emily Dickinson.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 YOU came prepared. You had the plan, the talking points, the preferred outcome mapped out in advance. Today has other ideas. The Full Moon in Aquarius opposite the Sun and Jupiter in Leo create a theatrical disruption to whatever you thought was settled. The temptation is to force the original plan back into shape. Resist it. The meeting has already moved on and you should move with it. Your agility today is worth more than your preparation. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0301*

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 YOU have been holding it together for a long time. Today the Full Moon in Aquarius illuminates the question you have not quite asked: Is what's on the other end of this still worth the holding? The Moon's alignment with Pluto does not deal in half-measures, and what it reveals today is not designed to be argued with. You are allowed to honestly conclude that your grip has been more loyal than the situation deserves. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0302*

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 MARS is in your sign and Venus in Virgo is squaring it. This means the dynamic between what you want and what the situation is asking of you is lively today. You've been managing multiple things simultaneously, but today one more element enters the picture. The juggler who's keeping everything moving may discover that the new ball alters the rhythm rather than breaks it. So this change may not be a problem: it may be an improvement. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0303*

CANCER June 23 - July 23 SOME social obligations are predictable and boring. You know who will say what, where the tension lives and how to move around it. Today the Full Moon in Aquarius is asking a different question: what would happen if you stopped navigating and simply spoke the truth? Not provocatively. Just calmly and clearly. Keeping the peace has value but there is a version of peacekeeping that costs you

JEMMA CAINER

TODAY'S astrology urges you to look again at whatever has been pretending to be fine. With the Full Moon in Aquarius and the Sun meeting Jupiter in Leo, the effect is almost comedic in its contrast. It's a day that's grand, expansive and slightly absurd. You may

oscillate today between genuine hilarity and the urge to weep. When things keep changing, the people who navigate that best are the ones who can make the call that integrity demands - and find something to laugh about on the way through.

something. You can be kind and honest simultaneously. You always could. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0304*

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 THE Sun meets Jupiter in your sign today and the scale of everything you've planned will expand accordingly. Your instinct is to meet that expansion with performance, to rise to the occasion, visibly, dramatically, in a way that fills the room. But the occasion has its own momentum. The plan becomes irrelevant. What remains is character - and today your character is the most interesting thing in the room. The best anecdotes are never about what went well. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0305*

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 VIRGOS love a list. But today, Venus in your sign acquires Mars in Gemini and introduces a quality of rapid change that the list was not designed to accommodate. Rather than defending your schedule against the chaos, consider what a rewritten version would look like. This does not mean defeat. This is a response that takes in new information and integrates it rather than treating it as interference. Give yourself credit for your ability to redesign on the fly. This Full Moon is powerful.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 SOMETIMES in the middle of a negotiation both sides close track of what the talks were originally about. The Full Moon in Aquarius has a way of revealing this kind of drift. The slow accumulation of positions and counter-positions have moved everyone so far from the original question that it is barely visible. Today offers a genuinely useful reset to remember what it was you were trying to resolve. The answer may be simpler than the debate made it appear. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0307*

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 PROJECT management means being in charge and shaping the outcome. Today the Full Moon lines up with Pluto and has a robust message about your approach to something you've been working on. This is not a failure of your preparation. It is a reminder that Pluto's idea of transformation does not require your permission - and does not respond well to being managed. Your job today is not taking control. It is to witness what is changing. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0308*

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 YOU are a master of keeping enough distance between yourself and any threat, so it never quite catches up. Today the Full Moon in Aquarius asks for a different

strategy. Stop and face the thing that has been generating the urgency. In most cases what feels like a pursuing force turns out, when confronted directly, to be considerably less formidable than expected. The energy you have been spending on staying ahead of the chaos could soon be available for something better. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0309*

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 OLD buildings deemed state-of-the-art in their time can be found wasting when it comes to modern needs and expectations. The Full Moon opposite Jupiter in Leo introduces a quality of dramatic revelation to the blueprints of an issue today. This reveals that there's nothing wrong with the original structure - it's just struggling to adapt to something it wasn't designed to accommodate. You are good at this kind of bold re-imagining. Be creative about modifications today. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0310*

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 THE Full Moon's in your sign and Pluto is right beside it, which means today has a quality of seeing yourself from the outside. You are capable of detachment in a way that other signs find difficult, and today that is both your greatest asset and temptation. The asset? You can observe your own drama clearly enough to choose your response rather than simply react. The temptation? To use detachment so you don't have to feel what the moment is asking you to feel. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better. Call 0965 789 0311*

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 THE turbulence you have been feeling is not all yours. Some of it belongs to the people around you, but you have absorbed it until it became indistinguishable from your own internal weather. Today the Full Moon in Aquarius offers a moment of clarity, allowing you to see how much of what you're carrying originated with you, and how much belongs to other people. You cannot navigate by a map that includes their terrain as your own. Find your own boundaries today. This Full Moon is powerful. Use its light to change your life for the better.

Sing like an angel or dodge flying books!

BEING in a band nowadays, I enjoy singing and playing guitar at a number of old folks' homes that we visit around the area. It brings back memories of long ago when, as a child at the Alverstoke branch of the National Children's Home, I used to sing in the choir of our little church. I'm not sure how good I was, but my audition was favourable for my inclusion! Every Friday evening, we would have to attend practice for the following Sunday Service or maybe prepare for a number of events outside the home, raising money for the NCH. At one time, we had a choirmaster called Hughes,

who always seemed great fun if we ever saw him around the branch. However, we were soon to discover his serious side, as one day at rehearsals I looked up to see a hymn book flying through the air, to land on a boy in the pews.

'So who's singing out of tune?' he bellowed, as we all shrank back into our seats. No one said anything! 'Now let's hear it again from the top,' he continued, 'and I shall be listening!' We all started again but were more concerned about any flying hymn books that might come our way, especially if we were singing out of tune! One of the hymns we rehearsed that evening was Angel Voices Ever Singing. It was probably more 'will your anchor hold in the storms of life'! In subsequent rehearsals we were always on the lookout for flying hymn books, or Hughes's 'singing out of tune books', as one was suggested!

Today's poem

It's the hottest day on record!
The heat is everywhere.
The dog lies panting on the sofa.
I sit sweating in my chair.
I've a hundred things to do today,
But the heat drains all my energy away.
How are house builders building?
How can the children play?

Remember those rainy summers of the 60s
Were always very cool,
Summers with such grey, cloudy skies
That the sun didn't shine through at all.

But climate change has caused a shift,
Now we feel the sun's burning might.
We swelter in a daytime steamy jungle
And can't sleep through the long Arabian night.

But nothing lasts for ever,
It'll soon be Christmas,
don't you know,
And then we won't need our air conditioning
But a shovel to clear the snow!

Kill Zone courage

WELL, done to the Daily Mail's Boris Johnson, Richard Pendlebury and Jamie Wiseman for producing the exceptional documentary Into Ukraine's Kill Zone.

It was very emotional in parts, especially when they spoke to the soldier who had been so badly injured but is now one of the best phone operators. I also hope Dasha gets to have her own family and live in a free and sovereign Ukraine.

It is so important to keep Ukraine in the news, especially when so many other major issues are claiming front pages. Slava Ukraine!

Scam warning

I RECENTLY gave a £25 donation in response to an online request to fund treatment costing £90,000 for a pretty 21-year-old trainee doctor with a brain tumour.

Then, as requested, I forwarded the link to others, one of whom was my computer-expert brother.

Fairly quickly, he found the same lady's picture being used in four different requests Europe-wide, leading me to wonder if it was a scam and whether my card details were safe. I cancelled the card.

If you can establish that a photo is being used multiple times, I would suggest you don't donate.

Letby justice

PETER HITCHENS (Daily Mail) is right. Lucy Letby deserves a fair hearing — and the revelation that maternity notes were not made available to Letby's original defence team beggars belief.

Every student midwife and medical student is taught that the condition of a baby at birth and shortly afterwards depends on the antecedent pregnancy, labour and delivery. Every paediatrician, neonatologist and neonatal nurse knows this. I imagine every trainee solicitor and trainee barrister is made aware of it, too, as part of medical negligence education.

There is an urgent need for Lucy Letby to be retired, and for all the facts to be disclosed.

Meet thy doom

ON A visit to the care home to see my mother, then aged 94, I was surprised to be summoned by the manager. He pointed to the visitors' book, which lay open on the hall table.

In black ink, in large letters scrawled across the page, was 'Abandon hope all ye who enter here'.

It must have been Mum's sense of humour that kept her going until 101.

That's a result

AT LEAST 60 years ago, it was known that the child in the womb could hear (Letters). We used to tell the couple that the father should repeatedly read out the football results to the pregnant mother.

Then after the baby was born, when it cried in the night, it was the father who got up and recited the football results, so the baby soon went to sleep again.

The mother was rested and the father-child bond was established.

Modern concerns

A FEW weeks ago, several correspondents mentioned Anthony Buckridge's school stories (Letters), which I recall reading at junior school.

I later learnt that he had rewritten the books, as 'no modern boy could be expected to understand that boys once wore short trousers, or what a sixpence is'.

Sorry, but we used to learn Latin in order to read about men in togas who paid for things with a denarius.

This sort of rewriting leads only to anachronism. I recently came across a paperback version of Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped in which the Scottish speech of the 18th century had been translated into the language of modern Surbiton. Why not go the whole hog and have Alan Breck Stewart and David Balfour fleeing the redcoats on a motorbike?

Sky fall

IT WAS 7am and I was in the kitchen making my morning tea when I heard a loud bang on the patio door. I assumed a bird had flown into the glass, as happens from time to time.

I went to see if the bird was injured, to find instead three large splashes of excrement stuck to the glass. It could only have come from an aircraft.

Thank goodness I wasn't outside.

Drop-off rip-off

THE drop-off fees charged by the company contracted by London Gatwick (Daily Mail) are nothing short of theft, in my view.

Twice recently I have been incorrectly charged. Once I was unable to stop anywhere as there was no available space, the second time I accidentally missed my turning into the pre-booked car park. Despite being captured on ANPR for less than 30 seconds entering and immediately leaving, I was charged £10.

This meant an interminable fight for a refund each time. That both claims were ultimately successful. Blows the charges are unreasonable but they hope you will just pay up.

Faith and charity

FURTHER to the letter about knowing where our charity donations go, I'm glad someone else thinks like me.

I had a regular standing order to the Macmillan organisation until I saw an advert by them for a diversity officer, with a salary of over £100,000.

Why do they need a diversity officer? To make sure they aren't being selective on grounds of race or religion? I wouldn't have thought they needed reminding of such a basic principle.

Manchesterism is just plain madness

BURNHAM'S first week in office made me think of Barnum's Circus. There is a Sucker Born Every Minute is one of the numbers in the stage musical and, given the small sweets recently offered as tasters by Burnham, it's hard not to get the tune out of my head. Gullible voters may think I Like Your Style but I fear it won't be long before we wish for the dull days of Sir Keir Starmer again. Join The Circus seemed to be the mantra of Burnham with his No10 North - but this prime example of Manchesterism is surely a completely unnecessary, performative act of virtue signalling. It probably won't add to efficiency and will certainly cost money at a time when much more important things are in need of attention and larger budgets. To copy absurd EU practice, with its dual homes in Brussels and Strasbourg, is hardly sound, and to push No10 North in the first week of his premiership is plain daft. At the very least, he should have taken time to discuss and think about this new adventure. Improvements in the attitude of Whitehall to the North - and

On his travels: Andy Burnham in Heron House, Manchester, last Friday

elsewhere in our islands - can perfectly well be done in Whitehall if there's a will, and Andy Burnham surely has that will. Why Manchester, anyway? Why not Sheffield, Leeds or Newcastle? Does Burnham only think Mancunian? With trivial giveaways, I fear he is telling voters he likes playing with the toys in his new cupboard but doesn't really understand how the levers and buttons work or where the batteries are inserted. It is the summer holidays. The Prime

Minister should slow down on domestic issues, stop showing off, look, learn and think. He should certainly take action very soon on far more vital matters including defence, the Chagos Islands and illegal immigration.

Fears over President Trump's Iran war

ANDREW NEIL (Daily Mail) says the war on Iran is coming to define Trump's presidency. Burnham's Government could suffer the same fate unless it takes more seriously the doctrine that British territory and bases cannot be used for war purposes unless the reason is purely defensive. The recent air attacks on Iran from a Gloucestershire RAF base clearly do not meet this definition. Unsurprisingly, the Iranians have responded by treating Britain as a co-belligerent of the US and threatened retaliation. Britain is on its way to being drawn in. So far, the only response from the

British Government has been a deeply unimpressive piece of noisy bluster from new Defence Secretary Wes Streeting. If Britain does get into a war with Iran, it is likely to define Burnham's premiership as thoroughly as Iraq did Tony Blair's. It will take courage to endure Trump's likely reaction to a refusal to allow British territory or bases to be used in this war. But for Burnham, the alternative is far worse. ROGER SCHAFIR, London N21 THE problem with democracy is that it is democratic. President Trump has to answer to the people of America, while Mojtaba

Khamenei has no such constraints. He answers to a 'higher office' and anyone who doesn't agree is disposable. Sadly, Trump has already lost this war and cannot win the peace while a medieval philosophy prevails in Iran. RICHARD MUMFORD, Three Legged Cross, Dorset ANDREW NEIL was surely right to say the US faces an awkward choice: either to opt for a more serious war with Iran or suffer one of its greatest national humiliations in modern times. I expect it will eventually choose humiliation, as it usually does. Rev Dr PETER MULLEN, Eastbourne, E. Sussex

QUESTION How unusual is it for a British prime minister to take office without winning a general election?

IT IS far more common than you think. Seven prime ministers took this route to the top in the 18th century and five in the 19th.

Of these, Charles Watson-Wentworth served two short terms in 1765-66 and 1782 without ever winning an election, while George Canning succeeded Lord Liverpool in 1827 but died within a year before he could face the electorate.

In more recent times, of the 22 people who have been prime minister in the last 100 years, eight have served as unelected premiers. Namely, Neville Chamberlain, Alec Douglas-Home, James Callaghan, Gordon Brown, Theresa May, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and, now, Andy Burnham.

Of these same 22 PMs, two have both won and lost general elections - Stanley Baldwin and Winston Churchill.

And while it may seem that we are currently undergoing a turbulent political period of six prime ministers in ten years (four of whom have been takeover PMs), the period of stability between 1979 and 2007, when only Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair occupied No 10, is more historically unusual.

In the early 19th century, the Conservative Spencer Percival took over as PM in 1809 from William Cavendish-Bentinck but before he could lead his party into a general election he was shot dead in the lobby of the House of Commons by a disgruntled merchant. He remains the only British prime minister to be assassinated while in office.

Harry Stewart, Northampton

QUESTION Why is Glasgow's football team pronounced Seltic while the race is pronounced Keltic?

IT COMES down to a quirk of linguistic history. When Celtic Football Club was founded in Glasgow in 1887 (the team played its first match

A common route to No 10

Not elected: George Canning (left) and Charles Watson-Wentworth

the following year), the word Celtic was commonly pronounced with a soft S sound in English. The term had entered English through French, where a 'c' before an 'e' is pronounced softly, so people spoke of 'Seltic' peoples and 'Keltic' culture.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, however, historians and linguists began looking back to the word's ancient origins. They noted that the Greeks referred to the Celtic peoples as Keltot, and that the Latin form was Celtae. In an effort to make the pronunciation closer to those classical roots, scholars increasingly adopted the hard K sound, giving us the modern pronunciation 'Keltic' when referring to the ancient peoples, languages and cultures.

By that point, though, Glasgow's football club had already been established. Like many proper names, it kept the pronunciation it started with. As a result, the club remained 'Keltic', even as the wider historical and academic world shifted towards 'Keltic'.

Iona Thomson, Glasgow

QUESTION When was the last suspected case of spontaneous human combustion in Britain?

THE last widely suspected case of spontaneous human combustion occurred in Edmonton, North London in 1982. Jeannie Saffin, 61, was sitting in her kitchen when her family reported a flash and blue flames erupting from her midriff and mouth, accompanied by roaring noises 'like a dragon'. She died in hospital a week later.

Paranormal researchers claimed that Saffin 'came to be burned inside unburned clothes' but this was later disputed by officials. Hospital records indicated that her mouth was undamaged, scotching

the dragon theory, while pathologists attributed her death to the 'wick effect' when an external spark (such as a lit cigarette or a match) ignites a person's clothing or body fat. One theory is that pipe embers from her father Jack were carried by a cross breeze from an open window onto Jeannie's flammable nylon clothing.

A more plausible recent case took place in Ballybane, Ireland, where Michael Faherty, 76, was found burnt to death in his sitting room in 2010. His death was officially ruled as spontaneous human combustion by the coroner since there were no signs of foul play or an accelerant. The only damage was to Faherty's remains, the floor underneath him and the ceiling above, while the rest of the house sustained only smoke damage. Fire officers were unable to determine the origin of the blaze.

Cases of spontaneous human combustion are relatively rare, with only 200 reported worldwide in the past 300 years.

William Robbins, Hartlepool

QUESTION When was the submarine first invented?

FURTHER to the earlier answer, Britain was relatively late in developing submarines compared to the other naval powers.

Their Lordships at the Admiralty decided that sneaking around under the ocean was Just Not Cricket with Controller of the Navy Arthur Wilson declaring them 'underhand, unfair and damned un-English'.

Martin Botteley, Bath

TODAY'S RECIPE: Weeknight chicken curry

Quick and easy to make. Serves 4

Ingredients

• 450g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 2-3cm pieces
• 100g Greek yoghurt
• 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
• 2 tsp ground turmeric
• 2 tsp tandoori masala spice mix
• 2 garlic cloves, grated
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• Naans or cooked rice, to serve
• For the curry:
• 2 tbsp ghee or vegetable oil

• 5 cardamom pods
• 2 tsp black mustard seeds
• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 onion, roughly grated
• 2 garlic cloves, grated
• 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• 2 tbsp honey
• 2 tsp garam masala
• 100ml double cream

Method

1 Put the chicken in a large bowl with the yoghurt, spices, garlic and oil. Season and mix well. Chill for up to a day, if you have time - if not, move on to the next step. 2 Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Put the chicken in a large roasting tin lined with baking parchment and roast for 25 mins until cooked. 3 Meanwhile, for the curry, melt the ghee in a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat and toast the cardamom pods, black mustard seeds and cumin seeds for 1 min, stirring continuously until the seeds start to pop. Add the onion, garlic and a large pinch of salt, and cook for 3-4 mins until the onion is lightly golden at the edges. Stir in the tomatoes, rinsing out the tin with water into the pan. Cover and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally until thickened and the oil splits from the sauce. 4 Reduce the heat and stir in the honey, garam masala and cream, then the chicken. Season with salt and serve with naans or rice.

Half the price of a Club Med trip, our writer finds out why this Egyptian resort is...

by JACOB LEWIS

IT'S a cliche that every exhausted new mum or dad knows: Holidays are just parenting in another location. True relief - the kind involving a book and conversation - is gated behind a £5,000-a-week paywall of private nannies and ultra-luxe villas, right?

But there is a sweet spot opening up for the rest of us: Tui's five-star Sensatori brand, which we discovered was half the price of a Club Med trip (the traditional gold standard for family all-inclusives).

We - my wife Morgan, three-year-old Lena, and five-month-old Jude - went to Tui Blue Sensatori Coral Sea resort in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, to see whether it lived up to expectations.

First impressions were great. Our home for the week was a swim-up room, which meant we could be in the pool while Jude napped in his cot. The property is vast but cleverly partitioned into adult and family zones, where our room was. There was a 650-metre private beach and a lengthy promenade that seemed specifically designed for those 'please just fall asleep' evening pram strolls.

The kids' pool - with its flumes and pirate ship 'splash zone' -

Bliss: Tui Blue Sensatori Coral Sea resort in Egypt. Right: Lena's beach fun

was tucked on one side. Meanwhile, there was yoga on a sea-view platform, an adults-only pool/bar, and a gym overlooking the Red Sea. It was family-friendly without compromising on the high-end amenities.

We enjoyed the five pools and landscaped gardens but the real draw was the house reef at the

end of a private jetty. Here, you could swap a stroller for a snorkel and be swimming with parrotfish within five minutes of the morning kids' club drop-off.

Happily, the childcare proved to be second to none.

The baby club operates at a 1:3 ratio, and the staff qualifications required are rigorous. Lena fell in

love with the team and activities so much so that she insisted on returning every day for both morning and afternoon sessions.

Having unloaded one child, we would often check in Jude for both sessions too, giving us four hours of child-free time.

Plus, two nights per week, staff

would take your kids off your hands for a party night until 9pm (this cost £26 per child extra).

During the week, Lena's group made papier-mache volcanoes, enjoyed pool parties in the splash pool, and churned out all sorts of arts and crafts.

Jude got world-class one-on-one attention from the lovely Hannahdee and Lucy at the baby club, with sensory play sessions keeping him happily occupied.

One morning, we hired a boat to visit a Cold War-era shipwreck, its shadowy history accompanied by tour guide banter about a Russian captain and one too many vodkas.

Watching clownfish dart through the rusted hull and angelfish glide past the coral, we felt years slip away - we were just two people on an adventure again.

The buffet was huge, and we loved the Middle Eastern mezze. By the end of our trip, we agreed that, with Sensatori, Tui has cracked the holiday code for frazzled new parents.

TRAVEL FACTS

SEVEN nights' all-inclusive at Tui Blue Sensatori Coral Sea in Sharm El Sheikh is from £994pp based on two adults, one baby and one child sharing, including flights and transfers (tui.co.uk).

Job fears as GSK launches cost-cutting drive

GSK yesterday unveiled plans to cut billions in costs as it embraces AI, raising fears for UK jobs.

The FTSE 100 drugs giant announced it would be closing its research and development site in Stevenage and moving its staff to a 300,000 sq ft facility in Cambridge, next door to its main UK rival AstraZeneca.

The move to the heart of Britain's life sciences industry was welcomed by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who said the £400m investment in the new facility was 'a vote of confidence in British

business'. GSK also said it would upgrade its R&D facilities in the town of Ware, around 11 miles from Stevenage, and relocate some of its staff there alongside the Cambridge move.

'We're putting our money where our mouth is on this one,' said GSK chief executive Luke Miels (pictured).

But the move raises doubts around the future of the 1,800 staff employed at GSK's Stevenage site as it

announced the relocation alongside plans for massive cost cuts.

In an update on the company's strategy alongside its half-year results, Miels said GSK aimed to save £1.9bn a year by 2029 through the 'reallocation' of spending, which would help fund 'large clinical studies as well as these new labs'.

The pharmaceuticals company declined to provide details on what the cuts would mean for its headcount.

But any job losses are expected to come mostly from areas such as GSK's procurement arm, as well as parts of the company dealing with legacy drugs that are no longer patented and therefore less valuable to the business. It also said cost

savings would be helped by 'technology and AI', which Miels said would be used to process 'massive' amounts of data to help with drug research. He added: 'AI tools are going to need human stewardship, but what they are going to do is make our people more effective.'

On Monday, AstraZeneca boss Pascal Soriot said that fears of AI 'killing jobs' were 'a bit of a fake story'.

GSK reported a 5pc rise in sales to £16bn for the first half of the year.

Profits in the period fell 31pc to £2.8bn, mostly because of a £1.3bn hit after GSK halted development of camlibizant, a treatment for chronic cough, following disappointing results from a clinical trial.

Barclays warns Burnham against windfall tax raid

By Patrick Tooher and Jane Denton

THE boss of Barclays yesterday rejected growing calls for a windfall tax on banks.

CS Venkatakrishnan's comments came after the lender posted bumper half-year profits and increased the potential bonus pool for its top traders.

Demands for an extra levy on lenders have been growing since Prime Minister Andy Burnham unveiled plans to spend more on defence, social care and cost-of-living support.

The biggest banks, including Barclays, already pay a 3pc surcharge above the 25pc corporation tax rate.

But Venkatakrishnan (pictured) warned against an extra levy, telling reporters that 'for every £1 of capital we have, we lend £8 to £10' to businesses and households that supports economic growth.

'The better the country grows, the better we all are,' the lender's chief executive added.

The latest results were boosted by traders cashing in on market turbulence as well as higher mortgage rates. Profits rose 17pc to £6.1bn and the amount set aside for the bank's bonus pool climbed from £1bn to £1.3bn.

Bankers at Barclays will now benefit from a Wall Street-style system in which the payouts are more closely linked to performance, with lower fixed pay.

The bank also doubled its dividend and revealed plans for a new £1bn share buyback.

The figures only added to the clamour for lenders to pay more

Bank chief says new levy would curb lending and growth

tax, which is likely to grow as Lloyds and NatWest also publish results in the coming days.

According to the Trades Union Congress (TUC), restoring the bank surcharge - which was cut in 2023 - to 8pc would raise around £9bn over the next four years. TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said: 'Big banks like Barclays are raking it in while working people and local businesses are struggling.'

'High interest rates have been a boon for banks, but have meant mortgage misery and higher bills for the rest of us.'

'Households will need more

support in the months ahead - this is not a hard choice.'

Barclays said it was on track to lend £30bn into the economy this year, after growing loans by 5pc in the first half.

Banks' profits have been boosted in recent years because of higher-for-longer interest rates, which have widened the gap between what they pay savers on deposits and charge borrowers for lending.

This gap - net interest income - is a key measure of profitability for lenders. For Barclays, it rose 8pc to £4bn in the first half as the fallout from the Middle East

war pushed interest rate expectations higher.

Income in the equity trading division soared 45pc to £1.26bn as traders took advantage of market volatility caused by the war in the Middle East as well as the latest moves in AI stocks.

But investors gave the results a poor reception, sending shares down 4.8pc, or 25.4p, to 505p.

Gary Greenwood, banking analyst at Shore Capital, said that while the investment bank was a 'stand-out performer', Barclays UK fell short of expectations and the US consumer bank underperformed.

Stubborn inflation puts squeeze on Labour

By John-Paul Ford Rojas

ANDY Burnham is facing a £24bn real-terms spending squeeze as inflation bites, a leading think-tank has warned.

It means the Prime Minister and Chancellor John Healey will face 'very difficult trade-offs' in the autumn Budget, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) said.

NIESR's latest forecast suggests that the war on Iran will 'continue to push upwards on inflation', which is expected to peak at 3.8pc next February.

It will remain 'higher and more persistent' than previously thought, not returning to its 2pc target until 2029, NIESR predicts.

The higher outlook for inflation will erode the real-terms impact of public spending increases.

'Higher and more persistent'

creating a £24bn shortfall by the end of the decade compared with forecasts made at the Spring Statement earlier this year.

NIESR questioned whether such a squeeze on public services would be 'politically viable'.

It adds to the challenges facing Burnham and Healey as they come under pressure to make further commitments, such as increases in defence spending and funding for policy announcements already made by the PM, such as energy bill and business rate cuts.

The think-tank warned that with little room to borrow more without adding to already-high debt levels, these commitments would have to be funded by tax hikes or spending cuts elsewhere.

America's inflation struggle

READERS of this summer's political best-seller, Regime Change, which provides forensic detail on the Trump White House, will be aware of the visceral loathing between the US President and former Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell. To Powell's credit, he refused to be bullied into lowering interest rates.

The new Fed chair Kevin Warsh starts with credit in the bank in that Trump admires his good looks and personal wealth as well as his intellectual credentials. That hasn't stopped the President from demanding 'rates should be lowered' ahead of today's American decision on borrowing costs. Indeed, the arguments playing out in the US, amid concern that inflation is becoming entrenched, will be echoed at the Bank of England when it votes on Thursday.

Warsh's major change since taking over at the Fed has been to talk less about intentions. Even so, the market is convinced that the US central bank will hold the key federal funds rate in the 3.5pc to 3.75pc range. Yet there is growing

sentiment among US economists that it should be tightening if it is to meet the 2pc inflation target.

It is wishful thinking to believe that after five years of inflation being well above that level, prices are suddenly going to dive.

Oil prices may be volatile, but they are still 40pc higher than when the Iran war reignited earlier this month. US headline prices are running at 3.7pc, gasoline at the pump is 30pc higher this summer than last year and food prices were up 3pc in June. All of that suggests that current US inflation is anything but transitory.

Warsh has argued that the commitment to the 2pc target would be 'strong, unanimous and unambiguous'.

That should mean a hawkish stance and

a tightening of up to half a percentage point. But we can't be sure he will defy the President just yet.

Inglorious food

THE message from Unilever boss Fernando Fernandez is that healthy growth is coming from beauty, wellbeing, personal care and home care.

So why wouldn't you discard the more pedestrian Hellmann's, Knorr, Marmite and other food operations?

The growth story in the first half of the year was enough to sharply lift the shares of a sagging top-ten FTSE stalwart.

No one should imagine that the results, bolstered by some hefty World Cup marketing of personal care, make the proposed sale of food brands to US spice specialist McCormick a wonderful deal.

The current six months are likely to offer much more of a pricing challenge for the care brands given surging costs of some vital ingredients.

Unilever has bought itself some market support for the McCormick deal with its offer of a secondary float in London and the injection of top colleagues, including the head of food research and development, into the new joint enterprise.

Grumbles about a lack of a vote for Unilever shareholders on the deal have not

gone away. McCormick's London listing is seen as meaningless as it won't have an index inclusion and will be illiquid.

Activists reportedly still aim to stop the deal. The chances of success are not rated highly. Food sales may be suffering in the US and Europe, but are going great guns in emerging and developing markets.

Each time Unilever lops off a limb of the business - spreads, teas, ice cream and the rest of food - it shrinks and becomes more vulnerable to an opportunist bid.

Hey-ho.

Cambridge allure

AI offers a huge opportunity for big pharma. Not only can it speed up R&D processes, but it offers the big players a chance to re-examine research findings stretching back decades, showing potential clues for repurposing compounds. GlaxoSmithKline is targeting cost savings of £1.9bn a year. That will mean fewer jobs.

Accelerated growth means doubling down on R&D and more jobs and status for Cambridge, a pharma hub, with a new £400m research centre. That follows in the steps of AstraZeneca.

The allure of Cambridge is not surprising given Australian chief executive Luke Miels' history at AZ, where he unleashed several blockbusters.

FRASERS CHECKS INTO BURBERRY WITH A 4PC STAKE

MIKE Ashley's Frasers Group has taken a stake in Burberry in its latest foray into the luxury market.

The retail group, which owns Sports Direct and House of Fraser, disclosed last night that it owns 4.0pc of the British trench-coat maker.

The FTSE 250 firm already owns luxury brand Flannels and Savile Row tailor Glees & Hawkes, alongside a 37pc stake in Mulberry, another listed British fashion firm.

Frasers is also hoping to buy the remainder of fashion brand Hugo Boss, in which it already has a stake of more than 30pc.

Burberry, which features US model Kendall Jenner (pictured) in its latest ad campaign, has struggled with dismal sales, but has shown signs that a turnaround plan under boss Joshua Schulman is starting to pay off this year.

Earlier this month, Burberry saw growth across all of its divisions for the first time since 2023.

Shares closed 5pc higher yesterday after the stake was disclosed, while shares in Frasers were up 2.5pc.

Unilever boss defies critics as sales boom

UNILEVER'S shares surged yesterday after it posted its best sales growth for 16 years.

The results were a boost for the consumer goods giant's controversial strategy under boss Fernando Fernandez.

Unilever - which owns brands including Dove, Marmite and TRE8emme - also upgraded its annual outlook as it shrugged off consumer gloom stoked by the Iran war.

Demand was boosted by a positive response to the marketing of some of its brands during the World Cup. The conglomerate also hailed booming sales in India and Latin America. Shares surged 8pc, or 371p, to 4998p.

It was a shot in the arm for Fernandez, who told investors his plans to focus Unilever on its beauty and personal care division, while spinning off its food arm, were reaping rewards. The results showed

By Emily Hawkins

sales volumes rose 5.5pc in the second quarter, their biggest increase since 2010. Revenues rose 5.8pc to £11.1bn.

Fernandez said growth was driven by the performance of the beauty and wellbeing, personal care and home care divisions in the second quarter.

There was a 'strong performance' from products involved

'A refuge from the AI turmoil'

in World Cup sponsorships, including Dove, Rexona and Lynx deodorants and soaps.

He added that the World Cup was a 'pivotal moment' for the company, which recruited 50,000 social media 'content creators' to help promote its sponsorships, 'at a scale few companies can match'.

In particular, there was double-digit growth for its 'power brands' Dove, Bunsilk and Vaseline. Brands would also continue to benefit from being featured in the tournament for months to come, he added.

Fernandez has faced criticism for spinning off food brands including Marmite and Hellmann's to US spice giant McCormick in a £33bn deal.

But yesterday he said the results 'show our ability to continue performing while transforming our portfolio'.

'Our brands are stronger, our execution is sharper and we are driving desire at scale,' Fernandez added.

The company expects annual revenue growth of between 4pc and 6pc, compared to an earlier forecast towards the 'lower end' of this range.

Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at broker IG, said: 'Investors looking for a refuge from the ongoing turmoil in AI stocks need look no further than good old Unilever.'

Ex-Connells chief wins tribunal

THE former boss of Britain's biggest estate agency has won his case for unfair dismissal and age discrimination against Skipton Building Society.

David Livesey, 67, had spent 33 years at Connells, which Skipton bought in 2010. He sued Skipton for a reported £7m, alleging he was forced out three years ago after been bullied by chief executive Stuart Haire. An employment tribunal

rejected the bullying allegation, but upheld two discrimination claims.

Skipton sent Livesey a cheque for just 46p for Connells shares that cost him £420,000. By contrast, a fellow director received over £1.6m for a smaller stake. The tribunal found 'the less favourable treatment' Livesey received over his shares 'was not justified'. Skipton said it was 'disappointed' with the decision.

Ocado abandons M&S legal battle

OCADO has dropped a legal battle with Marks & Spencer over a disputed £190m performance payout related to the online supermarket.

M&S will not make a final payment after Ocado Retail - the 50/50 online joint venture between Ocado and M&S - failed to meet targets originally laid out in 2019. The targets were part of the terms of

the £750m partnership, which allowed M&S to sell food online for the first time.

Ocado boss Tim Steiner had argued that factors such as the fixed pandemic should have been taken into account when considering why Ocado failed to meet its targets. A spokesman for M&S said: 'We have a good relationship with Ocado.'

GUARANTEED SATISFACTION – or your money back!

“The Closest Shave I’ve Ever Had”

“I’ve been shaving for over 50 years, and I can honestly say the Power4 electric shaver has given me the closest and smoothest shave I’ve ever had.

I used to switch between wet shaving and electric, but now I only use the Power4. It’s incredibly fast, fits the contours of my face perfectly, and doesn’t leave any irritation.

I suffer from arthritis in my hands, so I sometimes find it hard to grip,

but the Power4 is easy to handle and makes the job quick and easy. And the pop-up trimmer keeps my sideburns and neck tidy!

With the 90-day money-back trial. I was able to try it out myself and see how good it was at no risk, and it beat all my expectations, and I would highly recommend it, it’s great value for money!” John M., Warwick

Bash and entertain stardens to silver

Glaswegian storm can't faze English sprint queen

FOR Amy Hunt, the Glaswegian storm clouds had a silver lining. On a filthy night in Scotland, England's 'academic badass and track Goddess' splashed and dashed her way to second place.

Hunt has always been an overachiever. She studied literature at Cambridge University, claimed a silver at the World Championships over 200 metres and now she has a commonwealth medal to her name.

Outside Scotstoun, volunteers were determined not to be brought down by the washout. 'No Scotland, so party,' they chanted. In the uncovered stand behind the finish line, most of the party had left for shelter by the time Hunt crossed in a time of 10.98 seconds.

Zoe Hobbs, of New Zealand, won the gold, surprising the field with her charge down Lane Seven. For Hunt, this is all part of a long-term project to put her in medal contention over 200 metres at the 2026 Olympics. She has been working to improve her start and top-end speed. So far in 2026, she has set personal bests over 50, 60 and 100 metres. It will all help improve her time in the 200m in the warmer climates of Los Angeles.

Heather Oakes was the last woman to win 100m gold for England. That was back in 1966, when 32 nations boycotted the competition because Margaret Thatcher refused to impose sanctions on South Africa's apartheid government. The wait goes on for gold.

NIK SIMON in Glasgow

Throughout the evening, stadium staff pushed giant squeegee machines over the blue surface to soak up the water. They absorb 60 litres per minute but nothing could prevent the track from turning into a 100m slip and slide. Billy Connolly was born 15 minutes away this stadium, which is usually occupied by the Glasgow Warriors rugby team. As the city's windswept comedian once said: 'There are two seasons in Scotland: June and winter.'

Englishman Elliot Jones raced earlier in the evening, losing out in his 100m semi-final. The 28-year-old needed to wring out his running spikes as he headed back into the changing room.

'There was water all over the lane,' said Jones, who watched Cameroonian Emmanuel Eseme win the final with a Games record time of 9.83s. 'It felt like I couldn't get any traction. Whether that's just me or whether it's the water, I don't know. I didn't feel like I was moving anywhere.'

'It's frustrating, but everyone's got the same conditions. I got in the blocks and I was pushing water out my lanes. In between the false start and the start, the water had reposed. It's a Scottish summer, isn't it?'

Many of the world's fastest women have stayed away from Glasgow this week. Olympic champion Julien Alfred, of St Lucia, was among the absentees,

along with the British Virgin Islands' Adiejah Hodge, who has clocked the fastest time in the world this year. You suspect they were not full of regret when they turned on TV sets to see athletes huddled under umbrellas.

This was an event, however, that Hunt was not prepared to miss. Her parents travelled up from Newark to watch, booking an Airbnb with her coach. Only the Commonwealths? Tell that to her mentor, the double gold medallist Darren Campbell.

'Heading to an Olympic Games, you always know it's going to be a really big deal, with a lot of noise around it,' said Hunt. 'Internally in athletics, I don't know if a lot of us have the same kind of reverence for the Commonwealths as the public. A lot of us now didn't grow up watching it on TV.'

The Commonwealth Games is overlaid with all these different memories of watching it, but I was born in 2002. There's a

picture of me freshly born on the changing matt, watching Darren Campbell race.

'Darren Campbell is now my mentor so it's a very full circle moment for me. The team element is also so unique for us in track and field. I get that camaraderie from the relay but a lot of my team-mates in the 800m, the 1500m, the long jump, don't get that same sense of team.'

'It's really nice to be able to come together and have the expe-

rience. It's a bit of a trial run for the Olympics.'

The likes of Keely Hodgkinson, Dina Asher-Smith and Katarina Johnson-Thompson are not taking part in these games, although they have been named in Great Britain's squad for next month's European Championships.

Hunt believes that when they all come together, Team GB can take on the best in the world. 'Asher Phillip retired recently and she was one of the first people to reignite British female sprinting dominance,' said Hunt.

'Then we went into a new era with Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita, and Imani-Lara Lansingh. Now I've come through and there are so many juniors underneath me. Once they burst onto the scene, we've got a relay team set for the next 16 years.'

'We know we can challenge the best in the world from this tiny little country. Collectively, we've never been stronger.'

Gold quite the Filip for Jersey boy!

AS the tides begin to turn towards the Olympics, Filip Nowacki is looking like the breakthrough star who can make a splash at LA 2028. The 18-year-old from Jersey (right) is still waiting for his A level results but his gold medal in Glasgow last night justified the excitement about Team G8's new pool star. Having beaten Adam Ramsay-Peaty to silver of the 100metres on Saturday night, Nowacki finished first in his favourite 200m discipline. It was Jersey's first Commonwealth title for 36 years. He stole the show here, finishing ahead of Oliver Dawson, of Canada, and

Australia's Zac Stubbletly-Cook, Nowacki announced himself to the swimming world last year at the European Junior Championships, winning with a time of 2:07.32, which would have medalled in every senior Olympic bar one. England's Imogen Clark put in a fine swim herself to tie for bronze with Canada's Sophie Angus in the women's 50m breaststroke final.

Australia's Sienna Toohey took silver while Lara van Niekerk defended her title for South Africa. An emotional Clark revealed afterwards that she has had a hard battle getting to this point. 'I'm so chuffed with that, I never thought I'd get a medal again,' she said. 'It's been such a hard four years as I'm unfunded now, I have a full-time job so I'm really proud. I think I'm just stubborn, I keep on coming back. Just keep going if you love it!'

Moore salutes O'Brien's 'unbelievable' new staying king

RYAN MOORE declared Scandinavia an 'unbelievable' player after he won a dramatic Goodwood Cup to complete a historic double. The Aidan O'Brien 6-5 favourite prevailed by eight-and-a-half lengths to retain his crown after main rival Trawlerman had been cut up by a riderless loose horse. Scandinavia's Group One

success came a month after he had seen off Trawlerman by a head to land the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Moore said: 'Scandinavia is an unbelievable player. I couldn't

say he is better than Kypros [O'Brien's two-time Gold Cup winner who won 17 of his 21 starts] as he had a nearly perfect race record once he went over a staying trip but so has this lad now. When we ran in the Gold Cup it was his [Scandinavia's] first time over two-and-a-half miles and, having been beaten by Trawlerman in the past, I didn't

Throw book at amateur cheats shaming cricket

CRICKET is commonly known as the 'gentleman's game', with those who take part traditionally placing a significant emphasis on fair play, etiquette and mutual respect.

Such values seemingly have not landed at Saltburn CC after the North Yorkshire club were embroiled in a cheating storm that has gone viral.

The video evidence appears to be damning.

Multiple clips show a slip fielder clicking his fingers as the ball passes the batsman to mimic the sound of an edge.

His aim is as clear as it is shocking: to con the umpire into giving his team a wicket.

Piers Morgan nailed it when being just one of millions to have his say on the incident. Morgan, who is a big cricket fan, described Saltburn's antics on social media as 'outrageous cheating', a 'shameful scam' and 'pathetic'.

Spot on. The North Yorkshire and South Durham League have launched an investigation into Saltburn and their players.

They must throw the book at them and in the process send a message that there is no place in cricket — no matter the level at which it is played — for such disgraceful antics. The same applies to any other sport.

Cheats must always be punished. And just like Aussies Cameron Bancroft, Steve Smith and David Warner were in 2018 for their roles in the sandpaper ball-tampering, the same must apply to those at Saltburn.

Points deductions and long bans should be the bare minimum

CRICKET COMMENT By ALEX BYWATER

for those found to have been part of the subterfuge once the investigation is complete.

It is vitally important a message is sent to those who play grassroots cricket that any sort of attempt to fool an umpire is unacceptable.

The officials at that level have a hard enough job as it is. As someone who plays grassroots cricket in south-east Wales, I know that all too well.

I've been on the wrong end of my fair share of disputable leg-before-wicket dismissals. Only last weekend, I saw my team-mate given out caught behind when the ball clearly came off his thigh pad.

These incidents can be hugely frustrating, but there is an acceptance (after a few lagers) that they are human error.

What has happened in the case of the umpires who have taken charge of Saltburn matches is that they have been hoodwinked. Pure and simple.

I have played club cricket for a long time and never seen anything like it.

One question must be asked of Saltburn at this point: just how desperate do you have to be to try to win a game of recreational cricket by resorting to such means?

Their actions have painted what is supposed to be the 'gentleman's game' in an awful light.

Speed, tricks and flicks... PSG's Bradley Barcola has it all

HAVE LIVERPOOL FOUND THE MAN TO SUCCEED MO?

So much for keeping your cards close to your chest. When new Liverpool boss Andoni Iroda was asked where his side needed to strengthen, he replied: 'We definitely need a winger.'

When you have to replace one of the greatest players in your club's history in Mohamed Salah, and your right-wing options during a pre-season tour of the US are Kieran Morrison, 18, and Joshua Abe, 16, there is not much point pretending otherwise.

Especially when the new guy in charge is renowned for his fast, direct, attacking style of football. Liverpool know the man they want to fill that obvious hole, too. As Daily Mail Sport reported last weekend, the club are working on a deal for 23-year-old winger Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG, however, went around £140million for the France international, which would smash the British record of £125m Liverpool paid to sign Alexander Isak last summer.

A fair old whack for a player who has stalled over a new contract, told PSG he wants to leave and fallen down the pecking order under head coach Luis Enrique, whose preferred wide options during the business end of the Champions League

were Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. So, you imagine there might be some wriggle room on that price.

Yet this is also the young star who, essentially, replaced Kylian Mbappe on PSG's flank when he joined Real Madrid two years ago. PSG legend Javier Pastore has said Barcola (below) could reach Mbappe's level one day, too.

Even though his minutes became limited, Barcola yanked behind only teammate Ousmane Dembele and Monaco's

Ansu Pati for expected goals and assists per 90 minutes in Ligue 1 last season. In other words, he is a chance-creating machine.

Barcola played in all eight of France's games at the World Cup, starting four. He scored three goals and set up another.

His speed, tricks and flicks on the ball won him the nickname 'la sauterelle' — the grasshopper — as he came through the ranks at Lyon, though he was never one of those generational wonderkids pegged for superstardom from the moment they kick a ball.

'He was a normal kid, he never played above his age category, never jumped a stage,' said Lyon's former academy boss Jean-Francois Vulliez. 'His maturation was a normal process.'

Barcola joined Lyon's academy — famed for producing players such as Alexandre Lacazette, Rayan Cherki and Karim Benzema — aged eight after being spotted playing in an indoor tournament for hometown club AS Buers Villeurbanne.

One of six siblings, Barcola's brother, Malcolm, a goalkeeper, also played for Lyon. His mum played when she was younger, too. 'She's the one who gave us the passion,' Bradley once said.

Barcola and his brother watched clips she had filmed of their matches in the living room and, at weekends, his dad would take them to the local stadium to practise.

'My father made Bradley do specific work in front of goal, and me, as a goalkeeper... he made

GETTY IMAGES

me work, too,' Malcolm told Le Progres. 'We complemented each other well.'

Yet it so nearly did not happen. Barcola's career was stalling at Lyon under Laurent Blanc. He was struggling to break into the first team and his coaches could

see he was not putting the effort in during training. In January 2023, he came close to being sent out on loan.

But they just felt there was something there. And when team-mate Karl Toko Ekambi stormed down the tunnel and

■ BRENTFORD are advancing in talks to sign Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare as potential replacement for Jordan Henderson.

on the move to the Premier League and Brentford hope to finalise terms ahead of their London rivals with Henderson due to join CHELSEA on a free transfer. Brentford want two midfielders and are also weighing up a move for TOTTENHAM midfielder Pape Matar Sarr. They remain in talks over 18-year-old Ousmane Diabate from Genclerbirligi, amid competition from Spurs, but

the teenager is regarded as one for the future. Sarr, 23, has had interest from Turkey but would be open to remaining in London if, as it seems, his first-team starting chances will be limited following Spurs' purchases of Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.

■ NOTTINGHAM FOREST remain among the list of clubs showing interest in CHELSEA striker Liam Delap. Danny Welbeck's pending arrival from Brighton is likely to

leave fewer opportunities for Delap and clubs are enquiring to ascertain the deal required to sign the forward. EVERTON and NEWCASTLE have also expressed interest in the former England U21 international.

■ FORMER Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is training with CRYSTAL PALACE after the expiry of his contract at Ajax. The Japan international is a free agent after making just nine appearances since

moving to Amsterdam on a short-term deal in January, owing in part to a hamstring injury. The 27-year-old is training with Palace in Como as part of the club's pre-season preparations and could feature in a friendly this week. He has had interest from Venezia and Sassuolo, too.

■ CHELSEA goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen has left their camp in Australia ahead of joining sister club Strasbourg.

HE'S A REAL SPEED DEMON

kicked a bin in fury after being substituted and jeered by fans, Barcola's chance came. He scored five goals and set up nine more in the back end of the 2022-23 season, including the winner at the Parc des Princes against a PSG side that would

spend £40m on the then 20-year-old that summer. You can see why Liverpool think he is the right fit, too. For a start, he is rapid. Barcola was the fifth-quickest player in the Champions League last season and the seventh-fastest at the

■ AJAX are trying to re-sign WEST HAM midfielder Edson Alvarez. The Dutch side sold Alvarez to West Ham for £35m in 2023 and club sources say they are still owed money from the way payment was structured on the original transfer. West Ham want around £12.5m for the 28-year-old, who has spoken to Ajax director Jordi Cruyff. He spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce and was part of Mexico's World Cup squad but has generally struggled to live up to

expectations since leaving Amsterdam. Real Sociedad are also interested in Alvarez but are proposing a smaller, structured deal. ■ LEEDS goalkeeper Lucas Perri is expected to join Torino on loan with an option to buy once a deal for James Trafford (below) is completed. Trafford, 23, will sign a deal worth around £130,000 a week as soon as MANCHESTER CITY and Leeds finalise details on an expected £40m transfer with £5m in add-ons and a sell-on clause. Torino and

World Cup. Raw pace, especially across the forward line, is something Liverpool sorely lack. Iraola has always wanted his teams to get the ball forward as quickly as possible.

Bournemouth mustered the most direct attacks of any team last season, the joint-most goals from counter-attacks and, across Iraola's entire reign, attacked the fastest (1.95 metres per second) of all Premier League sides, while averaging the second-fewest passes per sequence. Barcola's pace would be a huge weapon.

It is not just his runs in behind, either. One of Barcola's favourite tricks is to knock the ball past his defender from a standing start and then leave him for dead, or even to race back to his own goal to collect the ball, then take a touch, turn his man and go in the blink of an eye.

Nor is he just a chalk-on-your-boats wide man. Barcola would often drift into the channels to allow PSG's stampeding full backs to provide the width ahead of him.

Having played as a striker until the age of 17, Barcola always had a nose for goal. He boasted the most shot-ending carries per 90 minutes of anyone in Ligue 1. Despite playing just 1,750 minutes, his 40 put him behind only Mason Greenwood (43), who played nearly 2,500 minutes.

His 1.9 chances created from open play per 90 minutes also put him behind only team-mates Dembele and Lee Kang-In across the league. He can play on both wings, as he did in each leg of their Champions League last-16 demolition of Chelsea.

Most of his shots and goals in Ligue 1 came from central positions as well, inside the penalty area. He carries the goal three and positional nouns of a conventional striker.

That, too, would fit into Iraola's style. Flying full backs were a crucial part of Bournemouth's tactical plan. In the 2024-25 season, before his move to Liverpool last summer, Milos Kerkez was one of the division's most attacking defenders.

Iraola has a track record of getting the best from his wingers, who play more as inside forwards. Antoine Semenyo flourished under him, and he worked wonders with Isi Palazon at Rayo Vallecano.

In Barcola, he could inherit another. This one, though, might just cost a bit more.

Leeds have agreed an initial loan move for Perri for the coming season. The deal also includes an option to buy him permanently next summer. Leeds keepers Karl Darlow and Ilan Meslier have left Daniel Fark's squad to join MANCHESTER UNITED and ARSENAL this summer. They would still like another as cover, as well as strengthening at left back, attacking midfield and striker. ■ ASTON VILLA winger Tommi O'Reilly is in talks to join NOTTS COUNTY on loan. The 22-year-old had been set to sign for SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY but Villa have decided Meadow Lane may suit his development better.

Joao Pedro vital for Alonso... but Delap fluffs lines

KIERAN GILL at Accor Stadium in Sydney

CHELSEA goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen travelled all the way from England to Australia, only to return home after three days in Sydney because he is in line to leave the club, most likely for BlueCo sister side Strassburg. Liam Delap has not been sent home, but the striker could also be sold this summer to make way for Danny Welbeck, 35. Nottingham Forest are among Delap's admirers, though the 23-year-old's inclusion in Xabi Alonso's starting line-up for yesterday's 6-4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers suggested no move is imminent.

In any case, if this was a chance for Delap to convince Alonso he should veto any switch that may crop up, he did not take it. The £30million signing from Ipswich last summer was upstaged by Chelsea's other attackers in this pre-season friendly, and not least the man who replaced him — Joao Pedro. Delap took his seat in the dugout after an hour, and the difference between him leading the line and Joao Pedro was stark. The 24-year-old Brazilian just looked a level above.

In the 66th minute, Joao Pedro produced a sublime assist for Jamie Gittens after squirming his way into the box. In the 80th minute, he scored his first goal. In the 85th minute, he scored his second. In the 89th minute, he confirmed his hat-trick. It is no wonder Chelsea let it be known this summer that Joao Pedro is considered untouchable. Of course Barcelona like him. Every club in Europe should consider him an improvement on what they already have. But he is going nowhere — whereas Delap might be off.

TEENAGE DREAMS

TWO 17-year-olds — Ryan Kavuma-McQueen and Dastan Satpayev — combined for the first of Chelsea's six goals here. It involved a lovely turn and through-ball from Kavuma-McQueen for Satpayev, whose finish was clinical. Satpayev is technically not a Chelsea player until he turns 18 next month, but he was involved here as a 'trialist', with permission from his club, FC Kairat in Kazakhstan, and authorisation from his parents. Reggie Walsh, 17, impressed at No.19 as he exchanged a one-two with Dario Essugo for Chelsea's second goal here. Landon Emenalo, 18, was flying down the flank from left back. This was a good opportunity for the kids, and the best of the bunch, in my opinion, was Reggie Watson. The 16-year-old was a physical force in midfield. When Alonso made nine substitutes after an hour, Watson was the only starter who stayed on

the pitch, and it is easy to see why Chelsea are so excited about him.

GITTS GETS BACK ON BIKE AFTER INJURY WOF

GITTS had a hard season last term. His campaign was essentially a write-off from January, when he picked up a hamstring problem. Yet he has now scored in three successive friendlies under Alonso — in their behind-closed-doors wins over Crawley and Bromley back in London and here against Western Sydney Wanderers. We could see the confidence-coursing through the left winger, who moved to Stamford Bridge in July of last year. Hopefully for him and Chelsea, this 21-year-old Englishman can remain healthy and enjoy a happier campaign.

CENTRE BACKS PUT THROUGH THEIR PACES

WANDERERS finished bottom of the 2025-26 Australian A-League, so they were not expected to pose many problems to Chelsea yesterday, even with so many youngsters involved. Yet it was possibly helpful for Alonso that Wanderers pressed high throughout. That tested Chelsea's defenders, and their centre-back pairing of Tosin Adarabioyo, 28, and Josh Acheampong, 20, rarely looked comfortable in possession. Too many passes went straight to the feet of their opponents, who found scoring rather simple. Acheampong was beaten too easily when Wanderers scored their second in the 22nd minute, for example. Aydam Hammond skinned the young defender before stroking the ball beyond Teddy Sharman-Lowe in goal.

LOTS TO WORK ON, AUSTIN

CHELSEA could do with Austin MacPhee arriving from Aston Villa to become their new set-piece specialist sooner rather than later. Wanderers appeared a threat from dead-ball situations, scoring at one corner which was flicked on from the front and nodded in by Anthony Pantazopoulos at the back to make it 1-1.

By JONATHAN McEVOY

IT can now never be contradicted that Gianni Infantino and Donald Trump share a bone-deep appreciation of all that it means to best serve the world's oldest and most popular game.

Namely, the pursuit of money. This endeavour has proved itself an enduringly compelling sport since the apple fell in the Garden, so it is as old as sin itself, and a pastime that today endangers bastardising modern football more deeply than any of the bank-lining panjandrums who went before them could ever have envisaged.

My goodness, others have tried hard to pollute sport. Juan Antonio Samaranch, the old Spanish fascist who sold the International Olympic Committee's flaunted reputation for sporting purity all those years ago, gave it a good heave.

His self-acclaimed Excellency was reputed not to have earned a salary for his services in the name of progressing a vision set by the modern Olympics' founding father Pierre de Coubertin. But in fawned-to, limousine-conveying grandeur he sold out his inheritance to dubious courtiers who militated against an ethic centred on guaranteeing a fair playing field for the youth of the world.

The youth of the world! Ha, if you will. The Olympic hymn, white doves at opening ceremonies, the oath sworn by an athlete on

The most blatant attempt to disfigure sport in elected office imaginable

behalf of his fellow competitors in the name of honest competition. It was a pledge best uttered by the well-meaning, co-opted liar with crossed fingers behind his or her back.

We are, alas, inured to such hokum, a reality that reached its public apogee of infamy when Ben Johnson ran like a god in Seoul and was exposed as not quite the clock-defying deity we had hoped him to be.

Lance Armstrong, East Germany's state-sponsored doping, the Fuentes drugs scandal in Spain, and so the list goes on. Indeed, WG Grace, cricket's founding father, was no stranger to sharp practices in the Victorian Age. Old as sin itself, as we were saying, long before Allen Stanford, the Texan fraudster, promised huge, ill-begotten riches to cricket or LIV golf's accumulators entered the stage with their distorting avarice bankrolled by Middle Eastern rivals.

Sport being traduced from within is endemic.

Yet, we must still rail against this latest and unprecedented news, a departure in its arching scope, of Infantino effectively putting the World Cup itself up for sale to the highest bidder.

This when his chief elected responsibility as the head of FIFA, football's world governing body and its supposed guarantor, is to preserve the verities of the game from malign speculators.

It is the most blatant and brazen ambush to disfigure sport in elected office imaginable.

To get back to Trump, and his recent phone call to Monaco-domiciled Infantino that represented the nadir of a largely successful World Cup. It all becomes clear, now.

We are speaking about the word Trump dripped into Infantino's ear in his successful intervention to overturn USA striker Folarin

Football MUST rally against Infantino's brazen bid to put World Cup up for sale

Balogun's automatic one-match suspension. Political neutrality, a sine qua non of FIFA, was waved aside.

Infantino ludicrously claimed: 'Potentially mistaken red or yellow cards or subsequent decisions not to ban players in certain situations are routine and widely accepted in some of the biggest leagues worldwide. It's curious that the same countries employing these practices are the ones criticising.'

Trump scoffed at criticism of his meddling. 'I understand sports well,' the president bloviated, while admitting from the Oval Office that he did not know what

a red card or its implications for a non-negotiable ban implied.

Infantino doubled down this week, opining: 'To those behind their pens and papers, behind their screens spreading hate and false rumours, I want to say that while you are sitting behind, we at FIFA are on the front lines organising, working hard, and delivering the best show in the world. We experienced no violence, no incidents, 100 per cent safety and security, only joy and happiness.'

Thanks, Gianni. The dots can be joined now. Who is lined up to be a major investor in the scheme to sell shares in the World Cup to

private investors? None other than Joshua Kushner, brother of Trump's in-law Jared, a key agitator in taking the World Cup to America.

Trump and Infantino, who gave the former the bogus bauble of a peace prize, never awarded before and likely never to be awarded again, are in cahoots, hence the smoke they blow up each other's posterior. US bank JPMorgan is also cited as a willing owner.

Under Infantino's scheme, a company would be established to control the men's and women's World Cups and the Club World Cup. Which brings us to the point about money and what Infantino

would be set to earn as a result of his brainchild.

All bosses of sporting bodies think a lot about this, their personal riches. They do not earn as much as the star performers, mostly men, accrue in the sport they (the governors) 'serve'.

This disparity rankles. They want to get as rich as they can and seek to devise ways to do so.

So Infantino would, as it is understood, take on the role of 'commissioner' of his new World Cup order once his stint as FIFA president expires in 2031, offering him the potential to earn £37.5million a year, a some tenfold increase on his current wages. He

UEFA's statement

'This crosses a line that football's governing institutions should never cross. UEFA takes it extremely seriously. So should every National Football Association and every stakeholder: leagues, clubs, players, supporters, governments and everyone who cares about the future of the game. The soul and governance of football are not assets to trade — especially with zero transparency as to who gains financially. 'None of us are the owners of football. It is not FIFA's to sell.'

European nations 'could boycott' if plans go ahead

From Back Page

The Times it would be a 'nuclear bomb' for the sport. Another argued it would be 'much worse than the European Super League'. UEFA, a regular critic of FIFA and Infantino, said: 'This crosses a line that football's governing institutions should never cross. The soul and governance of football are not assets to trade — especially with zero transparency as to who gains financially. 'None of us are the owners of football. It is not FIFA's to sell.' Sky reported that European nations may boycott the World Cup if Infantino pushes ahead with plans. They are set to hold an emergency meeting this week to discuss their options. Prime Minister Andy Burnham also reacted strongly, 'tweeting: 'Let me say this very directly. Football does not belong to investors. It belongs

to the people who fill the stands and stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine. The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out.' All 211 member associations would have stakes making up 20 per cent of the total company, which would be worth £25m each. That is a larger figure than many of their annual revenues, and they would have the option to sell them to raise funds. FIFA would retain a majority stake and private investors would be able to take on minority stakes. FIFA confirmed plans to launch a body called FIFA Forward Enterprise and described it as a 'controlled subsidiary consolidating FIFA's commercial and event operations'.

Zidane's dream comes true as he lands France job

ZINEDINE ZIDANE was confirmed as the new head coach of France yesterday.

The 54-year-old has signed a four-year deal to succeed his former Juventus and France team-mate Didier Deschamps. Deschamps ended his 14-year tenure in charge of Les Bleus at the World Cup, where his side lost 2-0 to eventual champions Spain in the semi-finals. They were then beaten 6-4 by England in the third-place play-off.

Zidane's unveiling took place yesterday morning at the French Football Federation's headquarters in Paris, alongside its president Philippe Diallo.

It is Zidane's first foray back into management since leaving Real Madrid in 2021 and he revealed he has rejected offers in the meantime as he waited for his 'dream' to become France boss.

The French team was the only thing I wanted to do, 'Zidane told reporters. 'I've always looked at this team through the eyes of [being] a future manager. I didn't take a club job for that reason.'

The only thing I wanted to do after Madrid was manage France. Deschamps oversaw 120 wins from 185 matches, guiding France to the 2018 World Cup title, the 2020-21 Nations League trophy and the finals of Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup.

He and Zidane were team-mates as France won the 1998 World Cup on home soil. Zidane played a pivotal role in that triumph,

By LUKE AUGUSTUS

scoring twice in their 3-0 win over Brazil in the final, and won the Ballon d'Or that year.

'You'll see my team's style soon,' said Zidane, who also helped France win Euro 2000 and made 108 appearances for the national side, scoring 31 goals and contributing 29 assists.

'I'm driven by the game. I was a No.10, and what drives me is scoring goals.'

'Winning in 1998 is the best thing that has ever happened to me, winning with my team-mates. I spent four or five years waiting for that day. I'm emotional; you can't see it, but I'm so excited. I'm happy.'

Diallo revealed negotiations with Zidane began in February last year after Deschamps said he would stand down following the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

'This is an exceptional moment, exceptional because of the person sat next to me,' Diallo said.

'Zinedine is one of the legends of French football and for many years he said one of his dreams was to take charge of France.'

'I would like to thank Didier and his staff for their work. For 14 years he led the France team to the top.'

Zidane's first game in charge will be a Nations League match away to Turkey on September 25. Italy and Belgium are also in their group.

Mancini back at the helm for Italy

ROBERTO MANCINI has been reappointed as Italy head coach.

The former Manchester City boss led Italy to European Championship glory five years ago and has returned after a turbulent 24 hours for the country's football federation (FIGC).

Italy were seeking a replacement for Gennaro Gattuso, who left in April after the Azzurri failed to qualify for the World Cup for the third edition in a row.

Andrea Pirlo was the favourite after Pep Guardiola declined the role but on Monday the former Juventus and AC Milan midfielder said he was no longer in the frame amid controversy over his links to a Russian betting firm.

That led newly appointed technical director Paolo Maldini and his adviser Leonardo to leave only days into their roles. FIGC president Giovanni Malago yesterday announced Claudio Ranieri would succeed Maldini.

Malago told a press conference: 'There was a candidate who had been agreed upon, chosen by Maldini and Leonardo, but, after what emerged about Pirlo regarding the partnership with the Russian betting agency, I was unable to give the final approval.' 'There is nothing else to say on the matter. There was no conflict

By DAVID KENT

[with Maldini], no controversy, only disappointment.

'This was a unique situation which arose and we agreed we should part ways. Time was running out and I felt Mancini should become coach.'

Mancini managed Italy between 2018 and 2023, guiding the side to victory over England in the final of the European Championship in 2021 but failing to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

He controversially left the job in 2023 to take charge of the Saudi Arabian national team and last managed Al-Sadd in Qatar.

Giorgio Chietini had been touted as a likely successor to Maldini but it is veteran former Leicester and Roma boss Ranieri who will step into the role.

Pirlo's role as a global ambassador for Russian bookmaker Fonbet prompted objections to his appointment from some FIGC officials and politicians.

Pirlo, a World Cup winner with Italy in 2006, defended himself on social media by saying: 'To attribute a political meaning to such an arrangement means attributing beliefs to me that I have never expressed and that do not belong to me.'

Outrage at Infantino plan to sell stakes in World Cup – a move that could net FIFA boss millions

By WILL PICKWORTH

UEFA launched an extraordinary attack on FIFA's leaked plan to sell stakes in the World Cup — a move that could make its president Gianni Infantino millions.

News broke yesterday, blindsiding the FA, that FIFA boss Infantino was considering selling parts of the tournament to private investors and forming a company in a deal that could be worth £15billion.

The report added Infantino could rake in more than $50million (£37.5million) a year if the plans get the go-ahead and could lead to the World Cup being expanded or held more regularly than every four years.

US bank JPMorgan is said to be handling the process and Donald Trump's administration is understood to have been consulted.

The proposal has received widespread criticism from across football, with one source telling

Daily Mail, Wednesday, July 29, 2026

M OST of my mini-breaks start after work on a Friday. My perfect week away tends to start on a Saturday. But

Sunday suddenly looks to be the perfect day to choose for a well-priced hotel stay.

Special only-on-a-Sunday rates are popping up right across the country. They're there to help fill hotels on what's often their quietest night. And as well as great prices they often come with the chance of an upgrade: treats like a glass of fizz on arrival and lazy Monday morning breakfasts.

Three deals in particular have caught my eye for summer: one in Canterbury, a second in the Cotswolds and a third in London.

STYLISH

The first deal comes courtesy of boutique hotel experts MrandMrsSmith.com.

Check into Canterbury's stylish Falstaff hotel to see a 15th century coaching inn fully transformed.

Welcome cocktails are part of the £109-a-room Sunday special, and are served in the oak-beamed bar or outdoor terrace.

Canterbury itself is a criminally underrated staycation spot, complete with murder stories and memento mori tombs in the beautiful cathedral, boat tours on the river and original Bagnuss and Clangers models in the Beaney House museum.

Need a pitstop? Pints have been pulled in the city's Parrot pub since 1370, while the old prison and police station have now become The Pound restaurant.

In the Cotswolds it's Greene King with Sunday-stay deals at the Rising Sun hotel, one of the brewer's many pubs with rooms. It's set just outside Cheltenham, and Sunday stays start at £50 per room – and put you on top of one of the area's highest hills with views across five counties.

More than 1,000 years of royal history can be explored nearby at Sudeley Castle and Gardens, or go further back in time amidst the mosaics of the National Trust's Chedworth Roman Villa. Then race up to date with free cockpit tours at the Jet Age Museum.

Back at the Rising Sun, some guests are lucky enough to get rooms with four-poster beds. Everyone gets a great Monday morning breakfast, from full English to buttermilk pancakes or avocado on toast.

AT THE RITZ

London's most eye-catching Sunday special needs much deeper pockets... as it's the Ritz hotel.

Book one of its 'Simply Sunday' deals and the treats start with a bottle of champagne in a Louis

XVI-style bedroom. A three-course evening meal in the hotel's two Michelin star restaurant is part of the package. And Monday morning begins with complimentary breakfast in bed or in the opulent Ritz Restaurant.

At £1,391 per bedroom it's a long way from being a cheap stay. But as it's easy to spend £500 per couple on dinner at the Ritz (and there's a £46 minimum spend for breakfast) the Sunday deal could, at a stretch, look like a bargain.

CUTTING THE COST

Head further afield and I've spotted a few other ways we can cut the cost of a break.

The first is to take advantage of unexpectedly good late summer deals on villa holidays. Firms such as CV Villas are offering between 20 and 50 per cent off September prices, including at the Bastide Splendide villa near Nice. Get a group together to fill all five bedrooms and the per person price falls to £821 for a week.

Solo travellers needn't miss out either. The Cook's Club group is offering deep discounts to people holidaying alone, making it easier

GREAT GETAWAYS: (top to bottom) Canterbury's Great Stour Canal; the Falstaff Hotel's oak-beamed bar; Bastide Splendide villa near Nice; a suite at The Ritz

to enjoy a big double room for single use.

Each low-rise Cook's Club retreat in Greece, Turkey and Egypt gives guests plenty of space to spread out. But they also make it easy to mingle, with poolside aperitivo servings, guided hikes, small-group wellness classes and DJ sessions on the sand.

Recent visitors say it's the perfect mix of style and sociability. And it's even more magical if you can enjoy it for a little bit less.

I'T'S easy to see why the waterways of France have so many fans. Choose a river cruise thorough the country and you can follow in Van Gogh's footsteps in Arles and see Claude Monet's waterlilies in Giverny.

You can tour the city of light and love in Paris, see Roman ruins in Lyon and explore the gothic splendour and the myths surrounding Joan of Arc in Rouen.

Fans of French river cruises talk of lazy days strolling through pretty harbour towns like Honfleur and feeling the history and emotion of the Normandy beaches. They love sailing to the grand palaces of Avignon, the lavender fields of Provence and the glamour of Nice.

Also on key itineraries are landscapes dotted with castles and

A MAGICAL COUNTRY: Honfleur harbour in Normandy, above; River Saone in Lyon by night, right

chateaux plus the chance to go wine-tasting where the best Burgundy and Beaujolais grapes are grown.

UNPACK AND RELAX

Seeing all these sights and more by river lets you enjoy the holiday's other big benefits. You unpack just once, then settle down as the ship meanders to each new port.

You often dock within a short stroll of each main attraction. And with firms like Emerald you get wonderful food, well-chosen wine and a mix of imaginative excursions every day.

These can include painting and photography workshops, guided hikes through vineyards, kayak paddles along the Seine, specially cooked Provencal meals and more.

PRETTY PORTS

French river cruises along the Seine, Saone and Rhone start and end in a variety of pretty ports. Top choices with Emerald sail from Lyon (maybe Europe's new gastronomic capital) to the likes of Arles, Nice or Marseille.

There are round-trip sails from easy-to-reach Paris (with flights and transfers to your ship all included).

And if you want to see even more, you can choose Emerald's French river cruise holidays, which take you to the Swiss mountains, to Geneva, Zurich, Budapest and Porto. There's even a special Festive Sensations sailing from Lyon in December.

It's just one more way to deeply enjoy la belle France – and the very best in river cruising.

show-kitchen chefs mix food and flames while gallery-quality photographs line the walls.

QUIETLY LOVELY

Another big draw for the Gran Hotel Taoro is its position in one of the quietest, and least-visited parts of northern Tenerife.

Twisting paths and public gardens lead from the lobby to Puerto de la Cruz, where elderly locals play chess under palm trees, and where you can step back in time in the golden-age botanical gardens.

There's also the Lago Martianez water garden, designed in the 1970s by the Canary Island's most famous artist, César Manrique.

Bask in the main central lake while watching Manrique's signature metal sculptures twist in the wind. Then swim in one of more than half a dozen seawater pools as waves crash on the ocean walls all around.

GO EXPLORING

The hotel is also the perfect starting point to explore parts of Tenerife that few other tourists see.

Staff have arranged an exclusive link with the local guides of Tenique Outdoor, with boss Roberto Martin ready to create bespoke days out for families or groups of friends.

Recent visitors rave about being the only tourists at the best Mount

Teide viewpoints and the only English speakers enjoying Canarian cuisine, including red wine breads, wrinkled potatoes and thick Puchero Canario stews in tiny family-run wineries.

Then it's back to the terrace of the revitalised grande dame of Tenerife hotels for more drinks at sunset – and perhaps some literary inspiration in The Christie Room, where all of her novels are on display and a desk awaits the writers of today.

RENOVATIONS have taken 50 years and cost nearly £50 million. But after five decades in limbo, Spain's first grand hotel has re-opened on Tenerife and it has done so in style.

The Gran Hotel Taoro first welcomed guests in 1890, hot on the heels of sister hotels the Savoy in London and the Hotel Metropole in Monte Carlo. The King of Spain was an early guest, followed by Europe's grandest families and much of the English aristocracy.

Decades later another famous guest

checked in. The classy Canary Islands hotel was where Agatha Christie sought refuge when her marriage broke down in 1927. After relaxing in the hotel gardens and exploring the volcanic coast she was inspired to write short stories including The Man from the Sea.

Even better, it's where she cracked the plot and finished The Mystery of the Blue Train, one of her most famous 'golden age of travel' whodunnits.

A BEAUTIFUL BLEND

Today the fully refurbished Gran Hotel is a mix of old, new and low-key luxury. Perched on top of a volcanic

GRAND HOTEL, MAGNIFICENT SETTING: clockwise from above, the Gran Hotel Taoro with Mount Tiede in background; Palm trees on Lago Martianez in Puerto de la Cruz; the hotel's OKA restaurant; the cool, relaxed hotel lobby

cliff above Puerto de la Cruz, taxis drop guests off at the edge of the same lush garden where Christie puzzled over her plots.

Huge glass doors now glide open as you approach the lobby. And the ocean view is jaw-dropping. 'The next stop is America,' the reception staff joked as we gazed westward across the Atlantic.

Drinks for sunset were another treat, foamy twists on the peach bellini from a lobby bar that spills out across a long, wide and sofa-strewn terrace.

Rooms and suites follow the lavish footprint of the original hotel with big bathrooms, lots of local art and a mix of ocean, garden or volcano views.

Days pass easily beside three volcano-view infinity pools, with the waterside La Carola restaurant perfect for salads, tuna on toast, Basque cheesecake and chilled local wines.

A subterranean spa offers treatments, al fresco Pilates and a gym with a view, while Michelin stars come out at night.

Hotel guests can join locals in award-winning OKA, from Spain's most talked-about Japanese chef. Or get immersed in Tenerife's volcanic heritage in Lava, where theatrical

■ You've been exploring the polar regions for 24 years. What makes Greenland special?
It is a beautifully harsh polar region: rugged, vast and very sophisticated in the way people have thrived here for thousands of years. The rich culture is equally awe inspiring. I love seeing travellers learn how today's Greenlanders keep old traditions alive.

■ Greenland is one of the world's last great wildernesses. What leaves the biggest impression on visitors?
It's beautiful to see ice and green landscapes in the same vista; and the massive icebergs in south, east and north Greenland are unparalleled in the northern hemisphere. The scale of Greenland also surprises guests, especially between Nuuk and Qaanaaq or sailing for hours in the fjords where you leave one settlement and might not see another till the next day.

ASK the EXPERT

Karin Strand, VP Expedition Development at HX Expeditions on colourful Greenland, endless fjords and being godmother to an expedition ship

BEAUTIFULLY HARSH:
Greenland's massive icebergs are without equal in the northern hemisphere

■ What kind of wildlife do we see in Greenland?
There are whales, musk ox and arctic hares in the east. In the east or far northwest you might be lucky and see polar bears.■ How does expedition cruising differ from traditional cruises?
Traditional cruises head to set points at set times. You walk onto a man-made pier and head to towns and cities. On an expedition cruise we strip that down. We arrive when the weather allows us, change plans on the spot, go ashore on a beach or rock. We walk in nature with no roads or permanent human infrastructure.■ What role do the expedition team play?
They help guests understand the nature we travel through via lectures, onshore interpretation and citizen-science efforts.■ How does it feel to be named the godmother of the vessel MS Roald Amundsen?
It's an honour and I still cannot believe it! The role gives me a connection with the ship for the rest of my or the ship's life. I also love greeting the crew every Christmas with gifts.

PLANNING a big, bucket-list holiday isn't always easy. So it's no surprise that many of us prefer to hand the task to someone else – and that escorted tours are booming.

On an escorted tour, a mix of travel professionals and local experts create the perfect itinerary in advance. They ensure guests are in the right place for each of a country's must-see sights. Hotels, transport, guides, information and excursions are all arranged.

Plenty of relaxed and sociable group meals can also be included, which is why escorted tours work as well for solo travellers as for couples and friends.

LOTS OF ADVICE

Best of all, escorted holidays have tour leaders on hand throughout, ready with advice or to trouble-shoot (with help from office staff at home) if things need to be tweaked

HOLIDAYS

made easy**

Escorted tours promise all the sights and none of the stress

halfway through the trip. Fans say that it all adds up to the perfect holiday: one that's adventurous but fully supported, and that's intrepid but also impeccably organised.

Escorted-tour experts such as Sunspot offer holidays to hard-to-reach spots such as Peru, where getting to Machu Picchu in an escorted group is far easier than doing so on your own.

It's the same in Cambodia, where

GUIDED TO THE SIGHTS: Machu Picchu, Peru, above; the Doge's Palace in Venice, left

escorted tours take guests to the heart of the jungle at Angkor Wat and into the heart of the city in Phnom Penh.

Japan is another country that's rising up the must-see charts but where language barriers can make it challenging to explore independently. Sunspot's escorted tours allow you to see Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto, Miyajima Island and many more besides.

SEE THOSE SIGHTS

The right escorted tour can make a difference closer to home, too.

In the busiest parts of Europe you may need to pre-book weeks in advance for top sights like the Louvre in Paris, Venice's Doge's Palace and Amsterdam's Anne Frank House.

But on escorted tours, timed tickets can be part of your holiday – so all the sights and none of the stress.

THERE are family breaks, and there are family breaks where nobody has to compromise. At Carden Park, in 1,000 acres of rolling Cheshire countryside, the magic lies in its ability to feel simultaneously luxuriously grown-up and wonderfully easy-going.

It is polished without being precious, indulgent without being intimidating, and packed with enough experiences to keep grandparents, parents, teens and little adventurers happily occupied from breakfast to bedtime.

Multi-generational travel is having a well-deserved moment, and Carden Park understands the assignment perfectly. The resort has the space, facilities and feel-good atmosphere that make travelling together effortless. And for those

By Katie Bowditch

who like their countryside escape with a side of friendly competition, the outdoor pursuits are a highlight.

THE ART OF EVERYONE

Laser clay shooting delivers all the country-estate drama without requiring Olympic-level aim. Think grand surroundings, lots of laughter, and a good-natured rivalry that's sure to come up again at dinner.

There is also archery, axe throwing, climbing walls, mountain biking, Segway safaris and Vertigo at Carden: it's an aerial adventure experience for guests who prefer their fresh air with a little extra height. And for golfers feeling enthused by the recent Open at Royal Birkdale, there are two championship golf courses to try out.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE: from top, set in 1,000 acres, Carden Park has endless space in which to unwind; luxurious suites for a perfect end to the day

Meanwhile, a proper escape needs somewhere fabulous to rest at the end of the day. The luxury suites provide that: spacious, stylish and deeply comfortable, with interiors that ooze elegance but are never over-designed.

Large windows frame views over the estate, including the Nicklaus golf course and front gardens, creating the delicious problem of whether to head outside once more, or stay put and admire the scenery from the comfort of your room.

THE ART OF WELLBEING

Adults seeking sanctuary will find it at The Spa at Carden, one of the resort's most irresistible attractions. This is a destination in its own right: a beautifully designed wellbeing escape where indoor thermal experiences, outdoor hot tubs, garden pods, relaxation rooms and spa dining come together with a real sense of occasion.

The Spa Garden is exquisite, with

bubbling pools, all-weather lounging spaces and calm countryside views that make switching off effortless. It's an elevated spa experience to be savoured and remembered.

From lingering treatments to warm-water moments, quiet corners or nourishing dining, every detail encourages you to slow down completely. Whether you go for a day, afternoon or twilight experience, The Spa at Carden adds a restorative layer of luxury that guests will want to return to again and again.

The food and drink options are all about choice. Redmond's Brasserie keeps things relaxed, while The Vines offers a more refined dining moment with three AA Rosettes. Add bars, afternoon teas and a vineyard producing sparkling wine, and you'll find your perfect culinary experience.

The best luxury resorts make life easier, and this is where Carden Park shines. It is smart enough for a special occasion, relaxed enough for children, yet varied enough for each generation to design their own perfect break.

Whether you come for the spa, suites, outdoor adventures or just the chance to gather everyone somewhere beautiful, this Cheshire estate delivers the kind of escape that leaves you already planning the next one.

FAMILY FOCUS

Summer is here and there is plenty on offer at Carden Park to create lasting memories. That means spacious family rooms, a 20-metre heated indoor swimming pool, cinema room, indoor games and much more from the Pursuits centre. Available exclusively to hotel guests during the summer school holidays is the activity wristband. It offers loads to entertain children of all ages and is ideal for younger guests unable to participate in other Carden Park activities.

Carden Park has the space, facilities and feel-good atmosphere that make travelling together effortless

BRIDGE MASTERCLASS CRYPTIC CROSSWORD

North ▲ J9 3 ▼ Q2 ▼ KQ 8 7 6 5 ▲ 10 9

East ▲ Q7 ▼ 10 9 4 ▲ J9 4 ▲ A7 6 4 3

South ▲ AK 8 6 5 4 ▼ 8 7 ▲ 3 ▲ QJ 5 2

PLAYING teams, you are in 4♥ from the West seat after North has opened a weak 2♦ and raised South 3♠ bid to 3♠, North leads the ♠3, and South wins the ♠K, cashers the ♠A and switches to the ♠2, an obvious singleton. You win the ♦A and draw trumps in two rounds.

YESTERDAY, we worked out that South began with a 6-2-1-4 distribution. Can you see how to make the contract from here?

Cash the ♠K, then cross to the ♠A. On the third club, you must discard a diamond, leaving South on lead. South has the choice of playing a fourth club — which establishes the suit for you while you still have an entry to dummy — or conceding a ruff and discard, allowing you to throw your remaining diamond from hand.
