“失败 奖励”

家庭正面临水费意外上涨，相关公用事业公司被指在失败中获得奖励并敲诈客户。

监管机构 Ofwat 已初步同意 13 家供应商提高价格，以覆盖额外的 34 亿英镑 billion 支出。保守党领袖 Kemi Badenoch 表示：

“英国人对供应商糟糕的服务和污水泄漏早已厌烦，他们会对这次最新的‘失败奖励’感到愤怒。”

公司获准[绿灯]引发愤怒

“水费上涨是

来自第一页

要修复水务行业，我们需要更强有力的监管以阻止公司积累巨额债务，监管机构更好的管理，以及长期的基础设施投资。安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）的解决方案是国有化。但让政治家掌权并不能变戏法般地变出更多资金、降低账单或改善基础设施，这只会让纳税人为数十亿英镑买单。”

英国水务监管局（Ofwat）已经允许公司在 2025 和 2030 年之间将账单提高 36%。

另外八家公司——安格利安（Anglian）、德尔·库姆鲁威尔士（Dwr Cymru Welsh）、哈夫伦·迪夫德威（Hafren Dyfrdwy）、诺森伯兰（Northumbrian）、西南（South West）、联合公用事业（United Utilities）、约克郡（Yorkshire）和 SES——也获得了在 2030 年后向客户收取更多费用的许可。

这些企业主张需要更多资金来改善基础设施和质量，并跟上住房建设带来的需求增长。

环保活动人士费加尔·沙基（Feargal Sharkey）表示：“他们一直在延续这样一个神话，即是股东和其他公司在进行这项投资。不，事实并非如此。

“我们正在被敲诈，而这一切都直接由我们的账单出资。我们支付了其中的每一分钱——那么我们为什么还需要股东？”

在谈到监管机构时，他补充道：“英国水务监管局（Ofwat）将无能推向了新的大气层高度，现在竟然要求并确保公司的客户被当作人质……

“被迫继续为他们自己遭受的剥削买单，并允许更多的贪婪和无能渗透到环境以及我们系统的残余部分。”

首相伯纳姆先生也批评了英国水务监管局（Ofwat）的初步决定。

他说：“我理解为什么人们感到愤怒——我也一样。

“事实是，多年来客户一直被要求支付更多费用，但严重的污染事件却处于历史最高水平，管道仍在泄漏。

“这些都不是缴费者的错，他们不应被视为他人失败的无底洞资金来源。”

尼尔·哈德森博士（DR NEIL HUDSON）

影子环境大臣兼埃平森林（Epping Forest）保守党国会议员

勤奋工作的家庭由于工党的缺陷政策和对我们经济的误管，正在支付更高的税收和更高的账单。

因此，全国大部分地区的账单即将再次上涨的消息尤其令人不快。在目前的干旱条件下，许多家庭面临不可接受的严重停水，全国许多地区面临禁用水管令，这种情况尤其艰难。现在，家庭们听到他们的费用将会上涨。

监管机构已经批准了 2025-2030 年期间高达 36% 的惊人涨幅。

而且现在还有更多上涨在等着。安迪·伯纳姆对这种情况表示不满，称他感到“愤怒”，且客户“不能被当作一张空白支票”。但到目前为止，他还没有采取任何行动。

伯纳姆先生现在不是评论员，他是首相。尤其令人担忧的是，英国最大的供应商泰晤士水务（Thames）背负着 £200 亿加元 的债务，却获得了进一步提高价格的批准。

众所周知，伯纳姆先生倾向于将国有化作为解决方案。但将公司国有化将花费纳税人数十亿英镑，并意味着更高的价格——或者更多的加税。与此同时，在过去一周，在我所在的埃平森林选区，数千户家庭由于管道破裂和基础设施失效，已经停水数日。

陷入困境

房屋断水，人们无法冲厕所或洗澡，父母没有水给婴儿冲奶粉，牲畜饲养者为动物饮水问题而恐慌。泰晤士水务（Thames Water）未能提供足够的应急取水点，弱势群体深感焦虑。

英国水务监管局（Ofwat）不能永远批准大幅涨价。需要有一个真正的长期计划，以能够让家庭负担得起的价格，提供更好、更可靠的供水。

工党没有拿出这样的计划，如果他们走国有化路线，将会失败。

如果具备实现它的政治意愿，一个运作良好、监管得当且非公有制的水务系统是可以实现的。水务公司绝不能被允许积累巨额债务。

我们保守党对《水务特别措施法案》提出了修正案，以阻止水务公司这样做，但工党投了反对票。

我们启动了至关重要的改革，以确保英国的水务系统在长期内是清洁且可持续的。如果要保护缴费用户，这需要数十亿英镑的私人投资。

工党应该专注于实现这一点，而不是在国有化这类意识形态项目上犹豫不决，因为这会给家庭带来更昂贵的后果。

客户不能被当作一张空白支票。

“在水务公司试图将不必要的成本转嫁给家庭时，他们将受到质疑。我们的水务行业显然在太长时间内未能为民众服务。本届政府将研究如何给予公众更多控制权，并帮助将账单保持在尽可能低的水平。”

泰晤士水务（Thames Water）——英国最大的供应商，拥有约 1600 万 名客户——在超过 £200 亿加元 的债务压力下正处于崩溃边缘。

债权人正试图达成一项救援协议，以避免政府实施临时国有化。

同样准备提高账单的东南水务（South East Water）此前因反复发生故障而臭名昭著，导致肯特郡和萨塞克斯郡的数万户家庭、企业和学校断水。

与此同时，昨日 Ofgem 决定的另一个受益者——南方水务（Southern Water），已向政府申请一项干旱令。这将允许其禁止商业组织进行某些活动，例如使用软管洗车、洗窗或填充游泳池。

英国水务监管局（Ofwat）这一极具争议的公告是在对 13 家公司申请的 £43 亿加元 资金请求进行了为期三个月的审查之后发布的。

该方案现在将开放为期六周的咨询，直到 9 月 24 日，最终裁决将于 12 月公布。River Action 的活动负责人 Amy Fairman 表示：“英国水务监管局（Ofwat）再次批准水费上涨简直是一种侮辱。”

高溫昨日达 38.1℃，高尔夫球场火灾蔓延至住宅区，房屋被焚

昨日，在一年中最热的一天，野火爆发，居民们从燃烧的房屋中逃离。

在一个已被近两个月酷热阳光且无雨而干涸的国家，气温飙升至 38.1℃，大火从高尔夫球场蔓延到住宅区。

在西米德兰兹郡的斯图尔布里奇（Stourbridge），火势席卷房屋，一名儿童和三名消防员被送往医院，居民被疏散。另有六人因吸入烟雾接受治疗。

起初是一场草地火灾，随后升级为该地区及其他地方在持续酷热天气下发生的几场重大火灾之一。

作者：ALLISTER HAGGER

西伦敦的 Kew Gardens 记录到 38.1℃ 的峰值，超过了今年此前在诺福克郡 Lingwood 创下的 6 月 28 最高纪录 38.

气象局（Met Office）表示，昨天是英国有记录以来第五热的一天。

这是该国一年内两次达到至少 38℃ 的第二次——上一次发生在 2022 年。

大约 60 名消防员正在扑救斯图尔布里奇的大火，灰烬从空中飘落。

“30年来，我们破败的水务基础设施投资在哪里？

“数百亿资金流向了投资者，而关键的水务和污水处理工程却被忽视。我们面对的是漏水、污染和飙升的账单。

“首相希望加强对水务公司的公共控制。现在就是采取行动的时候。”

进一步涨价的借口

“公众不需要这种东西”

年份最热之日，房屋陷入火海

天空与浓烟充斥着空气，据估计有 40 英亩的干涸土地被焚毁。

由于消防部门敦促民众远离，多条道路被关闭。市政厅被设立为那些被迫逃离家园者的救援中心。

由于斯特拉特福-upon-Avon附近的索尔福德普里奥斯村（Salford Priors）发生火灾，当地宣布进入重大事故状态；同时，桑迪福德（Sandyford）、斯托克（Stoke）以及伍斯特郡的珀肖尔（Pershore, Worcs）也发生了火灾。由于附近野火产生的浓烟，伯明翰附近的 M6 公路北行方向在 5 号和 6 号出口之间关闭。

南威尔士消防救援服务局昨日应对了 30 多起野火。

公共所有权活动组织“我们拥有它”（We Own It）的卡特·霍布斯（Cat Hobbs）表示：“当私人水务公司老板们给自己发放伪装成‘签约金’的巨额奖金时，客户得到了什么？热浪期间的禁用水管令。而现在，账单甚至更高了。”

“如果安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）认真对待应对不断上涨的生活成本，就必须阻止这些拟议中的水费上涨。”

“私有化本应带来私人投资。”

“而事实证明，我们水务基础设施的每一分投资都来自我们的账单，而非来自投资者。”

“如果水务公司在不提高我们账单的情况下无法进行投资，就应该允许它们破产，然后将其收归公有。公众已经受够了上涨的账单、服务削减、禁用水管令以及污水倾倒。”

“现在是时候像全球 90% 的地区那样，将水务收归公有。”代表供应商的 Water UK 表示：“今年夏天的干旱恰恰证明了为什么新投资如此至关重要。”

“这项支出将有助于保障服务、解锁新住房和商业增长，并更换老旧的基础设施。”

“对于大多数客户来说，账单不会立即受到影响。”

“在账单上涨的地方，我们意识到任何增长都令人困难，并且为任何支付困难的人提供帮助。”

来自英国水务监管局（Ofwat）的海伦·坎贝尔（Helen Campbell）表示：“新达成的资金协议将有助于解锁急需的新住房开发，并促进一系列行业的商业增长，同时提高饮用水质量并清除永久性化学物质。”

“我们将跟踪绩效，以确保公司为客户和环境提供预期的改进。”

“如果他们做不到，支出将被追回。”

高温导致急诊就诊量创纪录，达 250 万 人次

作者：汉娜·盖斯勒（HANNA GEISSLER）

NHS 的数据显示，上个月的热浪导致了创纪录的需求以及急诊部门（A&E）的“痛苦延迟”。

英国皇家急诊医学学会表示，这是有记录以来 12 小时等待时间最糟糕的 7 月，有超过 150,000 名患者在队列中等待了超过半天。

约 47,000 人在决定入院到找到病房床位之间，在推车上等待了超过 12 小时。

纳菲尔德信托（Nuffield Trust）智库研究副主任莎拉·斯科比（Sarah Scobie）博士表示，多次热浪意味着“今年夏天 NHS 几乎没有喘息之机”。

她补充道：“7 月份，急诊就诊量创纪录地达到 250 万 人次，这给工作人员带来了巨大的压力，也给患者带来了不舒适的等待。气温飙升带来的额外压力叠加在已经不堪重负的急诊部门之上。”

急性医学学会候任主席拉吉特·瓦里亚（Ragit Varia）博士表示：“从‘永久冬季’到‘永久高温’，NHS 不再有淡季。”

卫生大臣伊薇特·库珀（Yvette Cooper）警告称：“我们必须像规划冬季压力一样，开始规划 NHS 的夏季压力。”

但 RCEM 副主席罗素·邓肯（Russell Duncan）博士表示，拥堵通常是由医院和社会护理系统的流动性差造成的。

战争余波之中，首相被敦促掌控增长

作者：DAVID WILLIAMSON

安迪·伯纳姆（ANDY Burnham）被告知需采取紧急行动以挽救英国经济并保住就业岗位，财政部专家警告明年增长率可能仅为 0.3%。

此前预测 2027 年的增长率为 1.6%，但官员表示，如果伊朗危机持续，国家将遭受干扰。

保守党声称，工党的“速度、税收和借贷成瘾”使英国在海外冲击面前变得脆弱。

最新的季度数据显示，4 月至 6 月期间国内生产总值增长了 0.4%。6 月份 0.3% 的增长率虽低但好于预期，这与酒店业和休闲企业在世界杯和晴朗天气的推动下获得增长有关。

紧急状态

伯纳姆政府被敦促批准英国境内的核能、石油和天然气项目，并就那些被指导致雇主难以提供就业岗位的税收政策进行转向。

提交给首相和财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）的财政部模型显示，如果无法达成永久和平协议以结束伊朗冲突，今年经济增长率可能仅为 0.9%。这低于预算责任办公室（OBR）预测的 1.1%。

在这种极端情况下，通货膨胀率可能在明年第一季度达到 4.3% 的峰值。

繁荣研究所（Prosperity Institute）战略总监弗雷德·德·福萨德（Fred de Fossard）警告称：“首相应采取紧急措施降低能源成本、企业管理费用，并推动劳动力市场运转。”

“他应该出台一套紧急政策方案，批准更多地开采英国北海的石油和天然气，并加快新核电站的审批和建设。”

烈日导致火车脱轨，两人受重伤

乘客从翻覆的车厢中爬出

在东萨塞克斯郡，一列载有 150 人的火车脱轨，导致两人受重伤，现场已宣布进入重大事故状态。

在靠近刘易斯（Lewes）火车站的事故中，至少有三节车厢翻覆，另有九人受轻伤。

可以看到乘客站在翻覆的车厢顶部，初步报告显示多达 40 名乘客被困在车内。

图像显示，在事故现场之外的一段轨道出现了明显的弯曲，而此次事故发生在今年的最热之日。

包括三架应急直升机在内的救援人员迅速赶赴现场。多条铁路路线受到干扰，乘客收到重大延误警告。

车上的乘客描述了这次“恐怖”的经历。

来自美国华盛顿州的 Yana Ludwig, 56, 表示，她在被甩出座位前听到了一声巨响。她说：“这完全是

恐怖的。我当时正从伦敦返回，刘易斯是我的停靠站。

“有一声砰响，然后一切都乱套了。

“剧烈地摇晃，感觉持续了很长时间，但实际上可能只有大约 10 秒钟。

“我落在了一个人身上。我只是庆幸没有人死亡。这是人们团结一致的时刻，这是好事。”

罗布·布拉德利（Rob Bradley）当时与他六岁的女儿梅贝尔（Mabel）在火车上，他告诉 BBC：“现场一片混乱。

“我能感觉到车厢在摇晃，然后它跳了起来。

“紧急制动突然启动，所有人都被向前甩出。”

来自刘易斯的 Charlie Hobden, 31, 同样在车上，他告诉 BBC，感觉“像一条滑动着的蛇”，并补充道：“我们翻了过去，在地面上拖行。我们试图打开门，然后看到人们站在火车顶部。我们设法自行逃出。其他人则等待并爬梯子出去。随后应急服务部门帮助了我们。我没有受伤，所以被允许回家。”

脱轨的火车是 14:24 从伦敦维多利亚站开往东本（Eastbourne）的班次。这列八节车厢的火车中，后三节车厢在 15:50 左右于库克斯布里奇（Cooksbridge）和刘易斯之间脱轨。

轨道变形

前刘易斯国会议员兼交通部长诺曼·贝克（Norman Baker）暗示，火车脱轨可能是因为“山体滑坡”或“由于高温导致轨道变形”。

他告诉 Times Radio：“在允许火车重新运行之前，他们会希望确保铁路完全安全。

“如果确实是轨道变形的情况，那么修复所需的时间将大大增加。”铁路事故调查局表示，已派遣一个团队前往刘易斯。

一名当地国会议员将此次脱轨描述为“一起非常严重且正在发展的事件”。

刘易斯的自由民主党国会议员詹姆斯·麦克利里（James MacCleary）在 Facebook 帖子中写道：“我注意到了关于刘易斯地区火车相撞的令人非常担忧的报告。

“我目前正与相关部门保持联系，一旦获得更多信息，我将提供进一步更新。

“这显然是一起非常严重且正在发展的事件，我的心与所有受影响的人在一起。

“与此同时，如果您担心某人或需要紧急援助，请联系应急服务部门。”

交通大臣海蒂·亚历山大（Heidi Alexander）在获知脱轨消息后表示“深感担忧”。

乘客站在车厢上

下午6点。当地居民奥里亚娜·埃文斯（Oriana Evans）表示，她和儿子帮助了被引导下车前往刘易斯（Lewes）社区中心的伤员。

她为他们指路，其中一些乘客当时正在度假。

54岁的珠宝制作者埃文斯女士说：“我走在他们身边并与其中一些人聊天，他们真的处于震惊之中。”

“他们就在那些翻掉的车厢里。”

她说，他们告诉她他们没事，但“淤青很严重”。

可以看到其他居民站在家门外，面对着一排排应急服务车辆，并走向社区中心，携带椅子给伤员坐。

一辆巴士停在中心旁，等待乘客登车。

现场还有出租车，可以看到一名乘客被救护车接走。

一名两个孩子的父亲因震惊而颤抖，他讲述了自己在火车脱轨前看到关于轨道问题的警告标志。

来自东本（Eastbourne）的利顿·米亚（Liton Miah）说，当火车在刘易斯附近翻车时，他正带着妻子和女儿去探亲。

他的侧腹严重淤青。米亚先生说：“我在大屏幕上看到轨道有问题。我不知道他们为什么没有采取任何预防措施。”

重大事件

最后一批从翻车火车中获救的乘客在下午6点左右由一支空中救护车机队接走。

其余的火车伤员由出租车送回家或由救护车送往医院。

东南海岸救护服务局（South East Coast Ambulance Service）表示：“事故发生时，车上大约有150人。”

“在现阶段，我们可以确认，其中两名患者受重伤，另有九名患者受轻伤。”

该局表示，患者在现场接受了评估和治疗，部分患者被送往当地医院进一步治疗。

英国交通警察局（British Transport Police）确认，事故发生后已宣布为重大事件。

英国交通警察局助理首席警司伊恩·德拉蒙德-史密斯（Ian Drummond-Smith）表示：“我们已宣布这是一起重大事件，现场正在进行大规模的应急服务响应。”

“但火车上的所有乘客现在已安全地从该班次中撤离。”

“当然，我们的心与所有受影响的人在一起。”

“我想向公众保证，我们正在支持铁路事故调查局（Rail Accident Investigation Branch）以查明具体发生了什么。”

“我们将尽快提供进一步信息。”

乘客罗布·布拉德利（Rob Bradley）带着女儿梅贝尔（Mabel）表示，现场一片“混乱”。

高分率连续第三年上升，男生领先优势进一步扩大

作者：艾利斯特·哈格尔 (ALLISTER HAGGER)

在 A-level 成绩创纪录的一年里，男生在获取最高等级成绩方面进一步扩大了对女生的领先优势，最高等级成绩的总数已连续第三年增长。

昨天，英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰近 350,000 名青少年收到了考试成绩，许多人由此得知自己能否进入大学、参加学徒培训或就业。

随着今年 A-level 报考人数创纪录，被大学学位课程录取的高中毕业生人数达到了新高。

昨天公布的结果显示，整体最高等级成绩有所增加，且男生在获得 A 或以上等级的报考人数中连续第二年表现优于女生。

男生的成功被认为是由数学等 STEM 学科的普及所驱动的——数学已连续 13 年成为最受欢迎的学科。

总体而言，获得最高等级的 A-level 报考比例连续第三年上升。

这一趋势可能会引发关于“成绩膨胀”悄然滋生的质疑——A 和 B 正在成为平均分或标准分。

但考试委员会负责人否认了这一点。

职业教育

今年参加 A-level 考试的学生人数增加，报考人数首次突破 900,000 人，反映出 18 岁人口的增加。

超过四分之一 (28.5%) 的报考获得了 A 或 A* 等级，比去年增长了 0.2%。

获得最高 A* 等级的报考比例也有所上升，从 2025 年的 9.4% 增长了 0.2% 至 9.6%，且高于 2019 年的 7.7%。

考试监管机构 Ofqual 的负责人表示，数学学科的“庞大规模”影响了英格兰的整体数据。针对最高等级成绩上升的情况，伊恩·鲍克汉姆爵士 (Sir Ian Bauckham) 坚持认为：“A-level 备受信任，是因为它们是根据严格且一致的国家标准授予的。”

“大学、雇主和学生可以确信，A-level 等级代表了学生的知识水平和能力。”

“职业和技术资格同样重要。”

在数学报考方面，存在明显的性别差异，选择该学科的男生更多。

男生报考人数为 72,619 人，占总数的 63%，

2026年夏季各地方当局 A 或 A* 等级 A-level 成绩

而女生为 42,761 人 (37%)。在去年时隔七年首次领先之后，男生在最高等级成绩方面再次优于女生。

总体而言，28.9% 的男生 A-level 报考获得了 A* 或 A，而女性同辈的比例为 28%——差距为 0.9%。

伊恩爵士表示，“可以认为”就业前景正在影响学生在学习科目上的选择。

他补充道：“数学是最明显的一个，进阶数学是另一个，还有经济学、法律。这些都是具有很强职业色彩，或被证明与

更高的收入潜力相关联的学科，在学生的意识中，这些学科将与我们在经济中看到的趋势联系在一起。”埃克塞特大学社会流动性教授李·埃利奥特·梅杰 (Lee Elliot Major) 表示：“比以往任何时候都多，年轻人都在问一个简单的问题：哪里会有——

数学奇才，12, 是 A* 超级之星

作者：埃琳·博滕（ERIN BOTTEN）

一名在“学会说话前就能数数”的 12 岁少年在 A-level 数学考试中获得了 A* 成绩。

索利哈尔学校（Solihull School）的学生多米尼克·普加西亚斯卡斯（Dominic Pugaciauskas）在一年内完成了该课程，并在其中一份试卷中获得了 100% 的分数。

他去年参加了数学 GCSE 考试，取得了 9 级成绩。

同时也是一名国际象棋狂热爱好者的多米尼克说：“坦白说，我为自己感到非常自豪。”

“我觉得自己很努力，这个结果是我应得的。”

他的母亲塔尼娅·尼基蒂娜（Tanya Nikitina）表示，多米尼克一直目标在获得高分，全家人在看到成绩时感到非常激动。

幸福感

她说：“打开成绩单并确认结果的那一刻，心中充满了巨大的幸福感，并为他感到非常自豪。”

尼基蒂娜女士补充说，她的儿子学习数学是因为他热爱数学，并且“在解决难题中找到了乐趣”。

多米尼克的父亲里马斯·普加西亚斯卡斯（Rimas Pugaciauskas）说：“这是实至名归，他学习非常刻苦。”

尼基蒂娜女士说，多米尼克从小就喜欢解决问题。

她说：“我认为他天生

多米尼克与索利哈尔学校的六年级学生一起学习 A-level 课程，但并没有因此感到畏缩。

他说：“这并不是一次可怕的经历。这是一个很友好的班级。”

多米尼克目前正在准备参加 10 月的国家数学竞赛，并学习进阶数学 A-level。

他说他还不知道长大后想做什么，但补充说他“大概预想”会进入牛津大学或剑桥大学。

航空之梦圆在世亡母心愿

一名青少年在获得航空航天工程学位的学习机会后，正沿着他亡母希望他走的路前行。

来自布拉德福德的 18 岁少年阿卜杜拉·马哈茂德（Abdullah Mahmood）在 A-level 学习最后一年年初母亲去世的情况下，依然在数学中获得了 A，进阶数学获得 A，物理获得 A，计算机科学获得 A。

这名布拉德福德文法学校（Bradford Grammar School）的学生（见插图）已获得利兹大学的录取名额，他表示：“我的母亲鼓励我追求自己的热情。”

“她非常重视教育，并鼓励我努力学习。”

“她传播‘知识就是力量’的观念，希望我朝着成为一名航空工程师的目标努力。”

“我对自己的成绩感到满意，尤其是那两个 A*。所有的努力都得到了回报，我很高兴能去利兹学习。”他的父亲萨吉德（Sajid）说：“我为他感到非常高兴，尤其是之前我一直担心他在没有母亲陪伴的情况下生活。”

“他做得非常好。”阿卜杜拉的母亲米斯巴（Misbah）曾是一名数学教师，他通过资助名额进入了这所独立学校的第六形式（sixth form）。校长西蒙·欣奇利夫博士（Dr Simon Hinchliffe）表示，他代表了学校的最佳一面。

他补充道：“在展现出如此尊严、成熟和沉稳力量的同时，还能取得如此优秀的学术成绩，这非常了不起。米斯巴作为一名敬业的教师和母亲，她的影响清晰地体现在阿卜杜拉的职业道德和谦逊之中。我们为他感到无比自豪，并深知他在航空工程领域有着光明的未来。”

威廉·希基 (William Hickey)

— 自 1933 年起传递八卦 —

在就任首相仅数周后，一些伯纳姆 (Burnham) 的忠实支持者已经开始悄悄担心，一味地将曼彻斯特标榜为“北方”代表，会进一步激怒更北方的选民。

虽然关于在切希尔长大的安迪 (Andy) 是“北方之王”的说法在苏格兰必然会遭到蔑视，但党内同志承认，英格兰更北地区的人们——他们通常是改革英国党（Reform UK）的目标群体——在表达不满方面毫不犹豫。“试着告诉东北英格兰或坎布里亚的选民曼彻斯特在北方吧，”有人提醒我，“他们顶多认为那里是北中部的地区。”

提前向本专栏中自豪的曼彻斯特读者们道歉！

解释说他的第三任妻子乔治亚娜 (Georgiana) 现在陪同他进行舞台巡演时，奈杰尔·哈弗斯 (Nigel Havers) 指出了演出的亮点。这位资深万人迷热情地表示：“我会表演一点魔术，然后把她锯成两半。”

在演员父亲亚历克 (Alec) 去世 56 年后，马丁·克鲁恩斯 (Martin Clunes) 认为他终于得到了这位受人尊敬的戏剧演员来自阴间的祝福。

克鲁恩斯老先生 1970 年因肺癌去世时，这位《马丁医生》主演年仅 8 岁。他解释说，妻子菲莉帕 (Philippa) 最近陪她的姐姐去看一名灵媒，随后传来了令人惊讶的信息。

“这位女士不收钱，只询问教名。”

通常持怀疑态度的马丁澄清道：“我小姨子的教名就是她预约时提供的那个。”

在“亚历山大”显然显现其存在感后，当时在澳大利亚的克鲁恩斯坚称：“那是我父亲在传达，说他‘真的为我感到骄傲’，并且他‘真的很希望能成为艾米莉 [马丁和菲莉帕的女儿] 的祖父’。全都是这些美好的话。”

朱迪和伊恩在电视节目中

伊恩：好友朱迪帮我克服舞台恐惧

作者：SEAN O'GRADY

伊恩·麦克莱恩爵士透露，在得到搭档朱迪·登奇女爵的关键支持之前，他曾陷入“极度的舞台恐惧”之中。

这两位演员将在《与朱迪·登奇共饮下午茶》（Tea With Judi Dench）节目中回顾他们的职业生涯。87岁的伊恩爵士将前往萨里郡的家中，与他的朋友91岁的朱迪女爵会面。

他们曾在1967年的《承诺》（The Promise）、1975年的《太真而不可信》（Too True To Be Good）以及1976年的《麦克白》（Macbeth）舞台剧中共同演出。

伊恩爵士告诉朱迪女爵：“我当时陷入了极度的舞台恐惧。你拥有多么神奇的共情能力。”他还谈到了自己公开出柜，以及遗憾未能向父母透露自己的性取向。

特拉维斯称婚礼是最美好的一天

作者：PIERRA WILLIX

NFL 球员特拉维斯·凯尔斯首次谈到了上个月他与超级巨星歌手泰勒·斯威夫特的婚礼。

超过 1,000 名宾客见证了这两位 36 岁的人在纽约的麦迪逊广场花园结为夫妻。堪萨斯城酋长队的球员特拉维斯表示：“伙计，这是一个有趣的休赛期。婚礼是我人生中最美好的夜晚，我感谢所有前来庆祝并与我们共度欢乐时光的人。”

这位近端锋表示，那是一个充满庆祝活动的疯狂夜晚，并实现了他童年时前往麦迪逊广场花园的梦想。

他补充道：“我一直告诉自己，要在尼克斯队（篮球队）气势如虹时去那里看一场季后赛。”

“现在未来完全未知”

作者：JAMIE DOWNHAM

在伊比萨岛凌晨 1 点音乐轰鸣的俱乐部里，这个夏天很少有舞者意识到妮可·基德曼戴着深色假发和眼镜在他们身边跳舞。

这位 59 岁的奥斯卡奖得主透露，在去年与 58 岁的基思·厄本分手后，她一直在参加派对并拥抱爱情。

妮可表示，自从去年 9 月申请离婚以来，这一年过得并不轻松。

但她说：“与此同时，我的想法是，‘好吧，我没预料到会这样。我对未来的生活有不同的看法，但现在就是这样。’你制定了所有这些计划，对一切将如何发展有所有这些想法，然后结果……并非如此。你必须调整。你得适应。现在未来完全未知……很奇怪。”

“曾有一个阶段，我感到非常恐惧且深感脆弱，这让我觉得自己毫无遮掩。与此同时，我在想，‘我可以选择完全不面对它并蜷缩起来，或者我可以带着巨大的希望继续前行。’”

“我一直想过一种经过深思熟虑的生活，那么这意味着什么？尝试新事物，犯错，失败，重新站起

Natural

起来，继续前行，拥抱爱，保持开放，让心扉敞开，迎接各种可能性。”

妮可与乡村歌手基思于 2006 年结婚，育有两个女儿：18 岁的 Sunday 和 15 岁的 Faith。他们的离婚手续已于 1 月完成。在接受《Vogue》采访时，她还谈到了与 64 岁的汤姆·克鲁斯之间持续 10 年的第一段婚姻，该段婚姻于 2000 年结束。他们有养子女 Bella（33 岁）和 Connor（31 岁）。

她说：“我结婚时太年轻了。突然之间我就 22, 23 岁了，而且有一个超级巨星丈夫。这看起来完全顺理成章。我们陷入了疯狂的爱河。”

妮可今年夏天在巴黎、伦敦、波托菲诺和伊比萨岛之间往返，在那里的夜晚要么以玩拼字游戏结束，要么以参加狂欢派对结束。她说：“晚上 10.30 用餐，凌晨 1 点去俱乐部。我会戴上眼镜。有时我会戴假发来掩饰，这样我就能尽情跳舞。只要我身边有很多人——我会带上随行人员——我就没事。我需要这样。”

下个月，妮可将主演《实用魔法 2》，这是她 1998 年关于女巫姐妹电影的续集。她说：“这是人们的需求。他们会说，‘我们能看到这部电影吗？可以请你们拍吗？’”

水务监管机构在账单问题上令人作呕

长期受苦的消费者早就知道，供水公司简直是一群彻头彻尾的废物。现在我们可以把监管机构也加入这个名单。英国水务监管局（Ofwat）——这个本应约束那个基本无法无天的私有化水务和污水行业的准政府机构——已初步批准英格兰和威尔士的 13 家供应商提高账单。这个时机简直不能更具侮辱性。

在英国苦于无雨，且在经历了一个充满供应问题的毁灭性冬季之后，该监管机构似乎准备允许那些已经通过低劣服务赚得盆满钵满的公司，向数百万家庭开出巨额账单。

更令人气愤的是，泰晤士水务（Thames Water）是首批被允许在 2027 年至 2030 年间涨价的五家企业之一，其他公司还包括塞文特伦特水务（Severn Trent Water）、南方水务（Southern ）、威塞克斯水务（Wessex ）和东南水务（South East ）。

英国水务监管局（Ofwat）表示，提高账单是为了资助基础设施，以应对新的住宅开发项目和数据中心，这是对现代英国生活的一种令人沮丧且严厉的控诉。

那些已经被迫支付抗通胀高额账单的家庭理所当然地会质疑，在一个污染和泄漏几乎每天都在发生的历史性低业绩时期，一个长期失败的行业为何能获得奖励。

英国水务监管局（Ofwat）此前已允许公司在 2025 年至 2030 年间将账单提高 36%，且 4 月份的账单平均上涨了 5.4%。

一如既往，纳税人将被要求为这场永无止境的灾难买单。

这简直是彻头彻尾的耻辱。

唯有福利在增长

首先是好消息：统计数据显示，英国经济在 4 月至 6 月期间增长了 0.4%。现在是坏消息：惊慌失措的财政部文官们告诉首相，情况也就这样了，因为预计明年国民财富仅将增长 0.3%，微乎其微。

你可能认为这一评估会促使安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）采取行动，让他放弃那种他认为能解决英国经济僵化问题的、鲁莽的“税收与支出”社会主义。

但事实是，就像在他之前的基尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer）和瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）一样，他并没有一个连贯的计划来启动增长。

我们之所以知道这一点，是因为如果他真的致力于释放投资和机遇，他就会批准对臃肿的福利账单进行深度且立即的削减，目前该账单每年高达不可持续的 3330亿英镑 且仍在上升。

当然，他并不打算这么做，这就是为什么在工党领导下，对经济未来的悲观情绪与其说是预测，不如说是一种永久的心态。

难忘之飞

昨天，三位笑容满面的第二次世界大战退伍军人（合计年龄 300 岁）体验了一次惊心动魄的喷火战斗机飞行，这一非凡景象应当让我们为身为英国人而感到自豪。这些英雄们被赠予这次梦想成真的出游，以感谢他们的服役。

他们，以及在这个国家最黑暗的日子里坚守并服役的每一个人，现在且永远是最伟大的一代。

尝试、品尝、失败……欧洲的财富税，耐心

我们的新首相及其财政大臣面临着一项艰巨的资金请求清单——从潜艇到国民医疗服务体系（NHS）以及更多项目。他们将如何支付所有费用仍有待观察。

或许最简单的步骤是对财富本身征税。这在直觉上听起来很公平，民调结果也非常出色。然而，在过去三十年里，十几个国家反复尝试过这种做法。

1990, 12 个经合组织（OECD）国家对净财富征收年度税。到 2017, 仅剩四个国家。一旦法国在 2018, 将其版本转换为仅针对房产的税收，我们就只剩下三个：挪威、西班牙和瑞士。

奥地利在 1994. 废除了财富税。丹麦和德国在 1997. 废除。荷兰在 2001. 废除。芬兰、冰岛和卢森堡在 2006. 废除。瑞典在 2007. 废除。所有这些都表明，这种做法根本行不通。

法国进行了最臭名昭著的实验——从 1988 到 2017. 实施的 ISF（“财富团结税”）。从 2000年代 起，该税种导致约 60,000 名百万富翁净流出。在高峰期，大约每天有两名富裕纳税人离开该国。

一项给国家带来的损失是其收入两倍的税收根本不是税收。事实上，这完全是一个乌龙球。难怪埃马纽埃尔·马克龙（Emmanuel Macron）在 2018 将其废除。

瑞典在 2007. 废除了自己的财富税。到 2000 年代中期，估计有 5000 亿加元 克朗的瑞典资本——约 £400 亿加元 ——被转移到海外，其中大部分是为了逃税。

宜家（IKEA）创始人、当时瑞典最富有的人英格瓦·坎普拉德（Ingvar Kamprad）当时住在瑞士。

在所有尝试过年度版本的国家，同样的问题都会出现。估值是一个

约翰·希利（John Healey）和安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）在征收财富税之前应该回顾近现代历史

Nick Perrett

客座专栏作家

噩梦。今年一家私营企业、一个农场或一个养老金账户价值多少？

问 10 个会计师，会得到 10 个答案——然后针对所有答案进行诉讼；资产丰富但现金匮乏的人被迫出售资产仅为了支付税款；而且当各种豁免条款在游说下被加入后——企业、农场、养老金、艺术品——这一切都被稀释了，直到税基看起来像瑞士奶酪一样漏洞百出，而收益微乎其微。

大多数经合组织（OECD）的财富税所筹集的资金远低于总税收收入的 1%。

真正富有的人，这些地球上流动性最强的人，干脆直接离开。

英国已经进行了全球最彻底的财富税调查。2020 年的财富税委员会决定不建议我们实施年度财富税。

他们认为，国际记录太差，行政成本太高，行为反应过于具有破坏性。他们建议改为改革现有税制。他们唯一能支持的版本是一次性的紧急征收——而只有在没有人相信它会重复发生的情况下，一次性征收才是纯粹的。祝你好运。

这个规则有一个唯一的例外。

瑞士自 19 世纪以来就征收财富税——它对私人资产几乎不征收资本利得税。因此，财富税替代了其他资本税——而不是在这些税之上叠加。

瑞士是全球最大的百万富翁净进口国。政治稳定、隐私保护以及针对外国富豪的定额税协议使这一局面得以维持。

财富税实际上是加入全球最吸引人的财富俱乐部的会员费。人们排队等着缴纳。

现在将其与英国对比。这里的财富税将叠加在资本利得税、40% 的遗产税、印花税和股息税之上——而不是替代它们。

搬家公司已经忙碌起来了——英国已经看到百万富翁在大规模离开。此外，在有人声称我们根本不征收财富税之前——我们确实在征收，而且范围广泛。

资本利得税、遗产税、印花税和股息税每年合计筹集数百亿英镑。诚实的辩论应该是关于我们如何征收财富税，而不是是否征收。

使瑞士税制奏效的条件，恰恰是英国不具备且无法通过立法创造的条件。

如果我们想要对抗不平等，为什么不从停止将普通储蓄者的回报悄悄转移给一个数十年来过度收费的银行业开始？

每一英镑额外的费用，就是一英镑悄悄地从一个家庭的口袋转移到服务提供商的利润中——那些本应留在投资中并为赚到钱的人增长的财富，就这样永远失去了。

Legal McKinstry

死刑将重新平衡正义之秤

监狱政策继续主导着政治格局。缓刑工作人员正威胁采取罢工行动，以抗议提前释放计划；而警察首脑则要求政府采取行动，确保杀害安德鲁·哈珀警官（PC Andrew Harper）的凶手在秋季不会被释放。

但这里有一个激进的长期提案，将改变整个讨论——针对最严重的谋杀犯恢复死刑。这一举措将重建国家的道德权威，并恢复刑事司法系统中强有力的正义感。

有了这项终极制裁，所有其他刑期都可以相应提高，而这正是公众所希望的。

得益于现代检测方法，执行错人的可能性极小。

通过清除最臭名昭著的高安全级别囚犯，可以节省大量资金，从而将资金重新投入到其他领域。

绞刑是执法守护者勇气和信心的体现。自死刑在近 60 年前被废除以来，犯罪率飙升并非巧合。

工党能源大臣米亚塔·法恩布莱（MIATTA Fahnbulleh）在被披露她和身为对冲基金所有者的丈夫将三个孩子送入私立学校后，被指责为伪君子。

这是一个缺乏说服力的指控。据我所知，她从未发起过反对独立学校的运动。但她的富裕、作为利比里亚外交部长之女的成长背景以及她的私立教育，难道不让那种认为特权是白人专属的“觉醒”观点显得像个笑话吗？

我们不会支撑这个犯罪骗局

图片：JULIAN FINNEY / GETTY

乔治·奥威尔以其典型的深刻风格写道，“政治语言旨在使谎言听起来像真话，使谋杀显得体面，并给纯粹的空谈披上稳固的外衣”。他的话完美地描述了统治精英关于移民问题的滔滔谬语，他们已将欺骗和不诚实提升为治理的核心主题。

我们的政治家陷入了一种制度性的精神分裂，他们在对开放边境的意识形态信仰与对强烈的公众舆论敷衍了事的犬儒冲动之间摇摆不定。

因此，他们披上英国国旗，吹嘘对新抵达者的新打击行动，但与此同时又宣称“多样性是我们的力量”，并赞美多元文化英国的活力。

同样的逻辑混乱和失败也体现在那个未能兑现的“摧毁帮派”的承诺中。

政府未能采取强有力的、现实的步骤来阻碍其运作，例如在欧洲以外开设一个处理寻求庇护申请的中心，或者退出过时的《欧洲人权公约》——从而大幅减少左翼律师进行司法激进主义的空间。

没有什么比看到装备精良的边境局船只充当移民的准渡运服务更能生动地象征目前的无效策略了。它可能认为自己的做法是富有同情心的，但实际上这是与犯罪行为勾结。

这种软弱助长了帮派的傲慢，他们比以往任何时候都更有信心，其船只规模的增加就证明了这一点。周二，一艘 49 英尺长的充气艇抵达英国海岸，船上载有 230 名非法移民，这无疑创下了纪录。

遗憾的是，没有迹象表明安迪

伯纳姆在这个问题上带来了任何原创或创造性的思考。事实上，对于一个被认为是非常出色的沟通者的人来说，当被问及进一步由纳税人出资为寻求庇护者提供住宿的计划时，他表现得令人惊讶地缺乏共情。这些计划（包括在英格兰农村地区建立新住宅和中心）引发了广泛的反对。

在上周诺福克郡的塞特福德村，在被指定为庇护所的房产外进行抗议活动中，有 15 人被捕。

关于在风景如画的牛津郡皮丁顿村附近建立一个可容纳 1,200 名移民营地的计划，引发了更大的骚乱，该村的人口仅为 400 人。

鉴于公众的担忧，伯纳姆承诺将重新审视该方案，但随后，就像一名来自战时时期的傲慢官员

金色女孩艾米追随“铁娘子”的脚步

艾米·亨特（AMY HUNT）：这位英国田径界的明日之星，在欧洲锦标赛 100 米项目中势如破竹，夺得金牌。

她不仅是“赛道女神”（用她自己的话来说），而且刚刚获得了剑桥大学的英语学位。

在谈到对自己成功的欣喜时，她说：“我非常热爱我所创造的生活。”

有趣的是，她曾就读于凯斯特伦和格兰瑟姆女子学校（Kesteren and Grantham Girls School），另一位同样极具魅力且成就卓越的人也曾就读于此，其名唤玛格丽特·罗伯茨，即后来的撒切尔。

信息部，他说所有“国家”的地区都“必须发挥作用”。如果他试图通过敦促我们团结起来保卫国家来唤起闪电战精神，那么他这种情感勒索的尝试简直是极其糟糕的判断。

据估计，英吉利海峡移民中 80% 以上是来自亚洲、非洲和中东的处于服役年龄的年轻男性。然而，在没有任何适当检查的情况下，大多数人被允许在这里定居。其中一些人注定是极端分子、恐怖分子或伊斯兰原教旨主义者。另一些人则可能是家庭暴力者、殴打妻子的丈夫或变态者。

所有通过非法途径抵达的人，从定义上讲都是犯罪分子。

首相告诉我们必须“尽一份力”，这简直令人愤怒。实际上，我们被要求去支撑一个巨大的犯罪团伙。

我们没有要求这些年轻男性来到这里，我们的社会也不需要进口他们家乡那种厌女、宗派主义、神权政治的文化，这些文化是对我们自由传统的巨大威胁。

就像寻求庇护的安置计划一样，政治家们在没有任何授权的情况下将大规模移民强加给英国。没有任何一个主要政党曾以开放边境为政纲。没有人投票支持这场文化和社会革命。伯纳姆（Burnham）竟然指望我们为这个破坏性项目欢呼，真是令人作呕。

给那些被身份政治蒙蔽的剑桥学者的教训

前剑桥教授杰森·阿尔代（JASON ARDAY）尽管陷入了关于剽窃指控的全球丑闻，但其自传刚刚在美国出版。这本书是被归类为回忆录、小说、恐怖小说，还是 DIY 手册（“如何仅凭一台复印机、修正带和一个由被蒙蔽的 voxoplators 组成的评审团来创造你自己的博士学位”？）

但即便他的美国出版商在声誉上受到一定损害，真正的打击现在正落在剑桥大学身上。

为了止血，大学启动了针对阿尔代任命的内部调查。但是，

无论进行多少官僚操纵，都无法掩盖许多被身份政治所奴役的学术精英在知识上的破产。

正如不懈的研究专家夏洛特·吉尔（Charlotte Gill）所指出的，剑桥大学最近的研究生学习选项包括：“肯尼亚和南非黑人、女同性恋、双性恋和酷儿女性的法律动员”；以及“探索跨性别和性别多样化青少年在运动与饮食行为、社会包容和心理健康交汇点上的性别化体现”。该大学的教育学院——即招募阿尔代（见插图）的部门——还聘请了法拉·艾哈迈德博士（Dr Farah Ahmed）担任助理教授，据称她曾是被禁恐怖组织“希兹布图赫里尔”（Hizb ut-Tahrir）的支持者。在为该组织编写的一本小册子中，艾哈迈德博士写道，“西方教育是对穆斯林信仰和价值观的威胁”。但她的敌意并没有妨碍她进入西方领先的——尽管现在已蒙羞的——学术殿堂任职。

“因监狱危机召回国会议员”

自由民主党呼吁在 PC Harper 案中采取紧急行动

PC Harper 的凶手 Jessie Cole 和 Albert Bowers

安迪·伯纳姆（ANDY Burnham）正被敦促就提前释放引发的混乱召回议会，因为近 100 万人签署请愿书，支持将 Andrew 的凶手继续关押在狱中。

自由民主党警告称，随着政府极具争议的计划陷入崩溃，首相正让这位英雄警官的家人面临“难以想象的痛苦”。

泰晤士河谷警察局警官 在 2019 年调查一起四轮摩托车盗窃案时，被一辆逃逸车辆拖行一英里多，随后死亡。

令人不齿

那些身着制服服役人员的亲属表示，工党的释放提案“绝对令人不齿”，并补充说，杀害“在职应急服务人员”的凶手“应为其刑期承担全部责任”。

自由民主党副党魁戴西·库珀（Daisy Cooper）表示：“令全国震惊的是，在几个月后， Andrew 的两名凶手——Albert Bowers 和 Jessie Cole——可能会被从监狱中释放。”

“政府继续犹豫不决并让他们处于悬而未决的状态，这对受害者家属来说是非常不公平的。”

作者：迈克尔·诺尔斯（MICHAEL KNOWLES），内政编辑

“那些杀害我们勇敢的应急服务工作者的罪犯，在任何情况下都不应被允许提前获释。”

“自由民主党已提出紧急立法，以确保这些杀警凶手被排除在提前释放范围之外。如果安迪·伯纳姆认真考虑与各党派合作以阻止此事，他应该简单地召回议会 24 小时来解决这个问题。”

“ 的家人以及其他在执行公务期间被杀害的应急工作者，理应获得确定性，即责任人将服满刑期。”

在阻止了约 1,000 名强奸犯和儿童诱导者提前释放后，伯纳姆先生正拼命寻找一种方法将 Bowers 和 Cole 继续关押在狱中。

但首相收到警告，如果他不将所有被判定犯有相同罪行的人全部纳入，就不能单独阻止个别囚犯。据信，监狱中约有 470 人被判定犯有过失杀人罪。

家人的当地国会议员弗雷迪·范·米尔洛（Freddie van Mierlo）表示：“政府需要为该家庭提供确定性，而召回议会可以实现这一点。”

警界高层愤怒谴责色情狂被释放至受害者街道

一名本应被羁押的性犯罪者最近被保释，而其居住地址就在其受害者的隔壁两户。

伦敦警察厅局长马克·罗利爵士（Sir Mark Rowley）在批评其他机构导致双重谋杀犯西蒙·莱维（Simon Levy）再次作案的失职时，揭露了这一低级错误。

马克爵士在 BBC 的《今日》（Today）节目中表示：“法院服务部门、英国皇家检察署（CPS）以及缓刑监督部门中，没有一个人站出来谈论他们的失败。”

周三，马克爵士猛烈抨击法院

作者：POL ALLINGHAM

将连环性袭击者莱维保释。这位高级警官表示，伦敦有 10,800 名登记在册的性犯罪者，且人数每三个月增加 100 人。他补充道：“伦敦警察厅的人数比四年前减少了 4,000 人，这是政府对保障民众安全机构的系统性投资不足。”

随后，公共检察官斯蒂芬·帕金森（Stephen Parkinson）在承认英国皇家检察署（CPS）应对导致莱维杀害卡门萨·瓦伦西亚-特鲁希略（Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo）和谢丽尔·威尔金斯（Sheryl Wilkins）的部分失职负责后，表示他“深感抱歉”。

权力冲昏了马斯克的头

作者：RICHARD ASHMORE

埃隆·马斯克（ELON Musk）发布了一段离奇的 AI 视频，将自己塑造成奥斯汀·鲍尔斯（Austin Powers）以及“买下英国的男人”。

在这段剪辑中，这位全球首富在伦敦街头大摇大摆地走着，他的脸取代了喜剧演员迈克·迈尔斯（Mike Myers）饰演的标志性“老派” 007 恶搞间谍角色。

小型零售商成为伪造“商品损坏”照片的受害者

独家报道

作者：保罗·吉夫斯（PAUL JEEVES）犯罪编辑

小型零售商正成为一种新型诈骗的受害者，顾客利用人工智能（AI）伪造照片，声称收到的产品在运输过程中损坏。

这些不诚实的购物者要么要求退款，要么要求更换新品。

由于退货邮费昂贵，许多小型店主无法承担商品退回的费用，因此只能寄送替代品或退还款项。

骗子们在保留原产品的同时，将退款收入囊中，或将更换的新品在网上转售。

54 岁的杰森·盖伊（Jason Guy）与 37 岁的丈夫伊恩（Ian）共同经营 Make Up or Break Up 店。

该店成立于 2014 年，通过销售节日和骄傲节（Pride）配件（如亮粉和面部珠宝），年营业额达 £200 万。

他们在曼彻斯特著名的 Afflecks 市场经营一家店铺，并拥有三个繁忙的电子商务网站。

由于每周有数千笔在线订单，该企业经常处理损坏商品的售后。

杰森·盖伊与丈夫伊恩在曼彻斯特经营 Make Up or Break Up 店

传统上，杰森会要求顾客提供一张损坏物品的快速照片以办理退款，从而为公司节省退货邮费。

但他表示，顾客正利用易于获取的 AI 工具篡改图像，使完好无损的物品看起来像被压扁或毁坏了。

他说：“这只需要五秒钟的工作量。你只需将一张图片放入 AI 工具中，然后要求‘让这张图看起来像在邮寄过程中损坏了’，一张损坏的照片就出来了。”虽然他们的业务每年在损坏或被盗物品上的损失已约为 3.3 万英镑，但这一波数字商店盗窃行为构成了新的威胁。

幸运的是，杰森曾任银行巨头汇丰银行（HSBC）的数字营销负责人，具备识别伪造图片的独特能力。

他还表示，不诚实的顾客经常使用 AI 聊天机器人来撰写投诉邮件，与真正遇到麻烦的购物者发送的简单信息相比，他们的借口过于冗长且措辞沉重，从而暴露了身份。

尽管杰森认为他拦截了每周收到的十几次诈骗尝试，但他担心那些不精通技术的独立零售商可能会盲目相信篡改后的图像。

他补充道：“如果你是对顾客发送的照片产生怀疑的零售商，请要求他们发送一段视频，并在拍摄产品的同时移动手部。AI 无法处理这种情况。”

星林银行（Starling Bank）欺诈风险主管凯瑟琳·布里顿（Catherine Britton）表示：“欺诈行为每年给英国企业造成超过 £50 亿美元 的损失，保持对技术驱动型诈骗的警惕至关重要。”

星林银行提供一个名为“诈骗情报”（Scam Intelligence）的免费应用内工具来提供帮助。

企业主可以通过给银行的 AI 助手发送消息，检查电子邮件是否显示出发票诈骗的迹象，或上传在线市场照片以评估该商品列表是否为诈骗。

如何击败 AI 骗子

切断链路：

绝不要依赖单一的沟通渠道（如电子邮件）来批准付款请求。AI 可以克隆声音并生成极具说服力的深度伪造（deepfakes）和电子邮件。如果涉及资金，请务必使用另一个可信的联系方式验证请求。

检查图像：

仔细检查损坏产品的照片。寻找不自然的阴影、奇怪的纹理或缺失的细节，这些都可能揭露照片是伪造的。专业提示：右键点击图像检查其文件元数据。如果没有相机数据，或者显示使用了编辑软件，那么它可能是 AI 生成的。

限制公开细节：

避免在网上发布详细的人员层级结构、员工视频或照片。犯罪分子会利用这些信息来精心设计极具针对性的冒充钓鱼诈骗和深度伪造。

天主教主教 David Oakley

主教因涉嫌强奸女孩出庭

作者：TRISTAN KIRK

北安普顿主教因涉嫌强奸一名 16 岁以下女孩出庭。

70 岁的 David Oakley 被指控在 2000 年代初期两次与该女孩（当时 15 岁）发生性关系。当时他 40 多岁，担任天主教神父。

他昨天通过视频链接从其律师事务所出庭接受威斯敏斯特市议会治安法院的审理。

法庭获悉，他与该女孩在前往法国西南部卢尔德朝圣后“开始约会”。

Oakley 已获保释，条件是在下个月的答辩听证会之前不得接触涉案受害者及其家人。

被告于 1980 年被任命为神父，并于 2020 年成为北安普顿主教。他目前已被撤出公共职务，此前于 2025 年 9 月首次被捕。

在斯塔福德郡警方强奸和严重性犯罪小组的调查后，Oakley 于 6 月被起诉。

三人在家庭度假期间溺亡

作者：ROSIE SHEAD

验尸官获悉，一名七岁男孩及其表妹和姨妈在埃塞克斯的一处海滩溺亡。

Musa Ahmed 在 7 月 22 日于西默西亚（West Mersea）陷入困境，六天后死亡。

这名来自东伦敦罗姆福德（Romford）的少年遭受了脑损伤，这被列为另一个初步死因。他 15 岁的表妹 Sameeha Rahman 以及她 41 岁的母亲 Sheima Rahman（均来自东伦敦伊尔福德）也相继去世。

高级验尸官 Lincoln Brookes 在切姆斯福德郡政厅（Chelmsford County Hall）的听证会上表示：“人们不能低估此类事件的悲剧性质。”他将死因研讯推迟至 1 月。

药晕抢劫致死，男女被判入狱

作者：罗德·明钦 (ROD MINCHIN)

一对罗马尼亚夫妇在提供性服务期间，通过在葡萄酒中下药抢劫导致两名男子死亡，两人分别被判处 17 年监禁。

31, 岁的阿迪娜·米海 (Adina Mihai) 和她的伴侣 30, 岁的马达林·杜米特鲁 (Madalin Dumitru) 约定与付费寻求性服务的男子见面。

法庭获悉，米海在网上发布性服务广告，并向受害者收取现金押金。

杜米特鲁负责开车将她送到受害者的家中，并在外面等待，而她则在屋内给受害者下药并实施盗窃。

牛津刑事法院获悉，四名男子的酒杯中被掺入了强效镇静剂 $\gamma$-丁基内酯 (GBL)，导致他们被药晕，以便两名被告抢夺他们的钱财。

这导致其中两名男子死亡，分别是来自格洛斯特郡巴根登 (Bagendon, Gloucestershire) 的 80, 岁老人马尔科姆·金 (Malcolm King)，以及来自牛津郡班伯里 (Banbury, Oxfordshire) 的 36, 岁男子加里·穆特 (Gary Mouat)。

在之前的听证会上，这对原来自东伦敦伊尔福德 (Ilford, East London) 的杀手承认了两项过失杀人罪名，

以及向另外两名（不便透露姓名）男子投毒的罪名。

法庭播放了穆特先生 9 岁儿子的受害者影响陈述录音，孩子在其中问道：“你们为什么要杀掉我的爸爸？”

在对两人判刑时，布伦纳法官 (Mrs Justice Brunner) 表示：“你们的共同意图是使每位受害者失去行动能力。药物的投放是随意且鲁莽的。如果你们能停下来思考片刻风险……你们就会意识到，在投药的那一刻，这就带有极高的严重受伤或死亡风险。”

法庭获悉，退休的金先生于 20, 2024, 8 月 20 日联系了米海，并约定在妻子不在家的那个晚上在自己家中见面。次日早晨，他的管家发现了他的尸体，现场还有一瓶空酒瓶和两个玻璃杯。

近一年后，玻璃工穆特先生在妻子和儿子不在家时，通过分类广告网站 VivaStreet 联系了米海。

他因饮用掺有药物的葡萄酒而陷入昏迷，次日早晨被朋友发现死亡。

在杀手离开他家几个小时后，第三名男子联系了米海，他也被下药并被抢走了劳力士手表。一周后，第四名男子在被下药后，珠宝和古龙水也被抢走。

几天后，警方拦截了这对夫妇乘坐的宝马车，车内装有部分受害者的财物，两人随即被捕。

在他们认罪后，两项谋杀罪、投毒罪以及共谋盗窃罪被裁定暂缓起诉（lie on file）。

泰晤士河谷警察局的迈克尔·罗迪 (Michael Roddy) 侦查督察表示：“他们的犯罪行为经过精心计算，具有掠夺性，并夺走了两名无辜男子的生命。”

绝佳露营地

湖区营地成为户外度假完美之选

作者：FRANCES MILLAR

一个拥有绝美风景和优质酒吧的徒步旅行者天堂，在全国最美露营地的一项民意调查中名列前茅。

格雷特朗代尔（Great Langdale）位于湖区，从安布尔赛德（Ambleside）向西延伸，处于朗代尔峰（Langdale Pikes）之下，这里拥有包括老地牢吉尔旅馆（Old Dungeon Ghyll inn）在内的地标建筑。

在对 2,000 人的调查中，这个由国民信托基金会（National Trust）管理的坎布里亚营地脱颖而出。德文郡伊尔弗拉科姆（Ilfracombe）的水口谷（Watermouth Valley）位居第二，紧随其后的是格伦科（Glencoe）的红松鼠（Red Squirrel）以及洛蒙德湖与特罗斯克斯国家公园（Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park），分别排名第三和第四。峰区巴克斯顿（Buxton）的公爵草地（Duchess's Meadow）排名第五。

在经历了一个夏天的热浪之后，四分之一的受访者表示，露营正迎来一次重大复兴。

几乎同样比例的人认为，英国是世界上最适合露营的地方。

一半的人在本次假期期间已经体验或计划在户外扎营，而在 18 到 29 岁的人群中，这一比例上升至 70%。

最大的吸引力是亲近自然 (45%)。在本土度假是另一个原因 (44%)，其次是与家人共度时光 (37%)，以及节省开支 (33%)。

开展此次研究的汽车公司五十铃（Isuzu）的乔治·沃利斯（George Wallis）表示：“英国是世界上最美丽的国家之一，因此装好行李前往偏远地区依然是一种永恒的时尚，这并不令人惊讶。”

专家因发现稀有飞蛾而激动不已

作者：EMILY BEAMENT

一名花费了二十多年时间寻找稀有飞蛾的环保人士，在一家已有 70 年未见该物种的地点，发现了一个隐藏的英国最稀有飞蛾种群。

来自蝴蝶保护协会（Butterfly Conservation）的戴夫·温赖特博士（Dr Dave Wainwright）在诺森伯兰郡的国民信托基金会沃灵顿庄园（Wallington Estate）追踪到了暗边美蛾（Eplone vespertaria）的第二个栖息地。

在英格兰境内，唯一已知的另一个地点是北约克郡的斯特伦索尔公地（Strensall Common），那里的种群数量已减少至低两位数。

在英格兰发现第二个种群为该物种带来了新希望。该物种曾广泛分布，但因栖息地丧失而受损。目前，它仅限于苏格兰的迪赛德（Deeside）和斯佩赛德（Speyside）两个小区域，以及英格兰的这些地点。

温赖特博士自 2004 年开始在蝴蝶保护协会工作以来一直在寻找这种飞蛾，并曾访问过沃灵顿，但当时未能追踪到任何一只。然而这一次，栖息地基本上已经实现了再野化，温赖特博士表示：“我只用了 10 分钟就找到了第一只。团队成员很兴奋，但可能没有我那么兴奋！”

演员莎伦·D·克拉克 (Sharon D Clarke)

《奥赛罗》主演莎伦因抗癌退出演出

作者：FRANCES MILLAR

一名原定在皇家莎士比亚公司（Royal Shakespeare Company）新剧目中饰演《奥赛罗》的顶尖女演员，因接受癌症治疗而退出演出。

曾三次获得奥利维尔奖的莎伦·D·克拉克（Sharon D Clarke）原定于明年 2 月 13 日至 4 月 3 日在斯特拉特福-upon-Avon 的天鹅剧院（Swan Theatre）饰演该角色，该角色被重新构思为一名女同性恋者。

但这部对莎士比亚悲剧的重新演绎现将推迟上演。

皇家莎士比亚公司表示，已购票者将获得退款，替代剧目将在稍后确认。

60 岁的克拉克女士表示：“我想感谢皇家莎士比亚公司所有善良的人们，感谢他们的理解、爱、支持和治愈能量。《奥赛罗》将在我接受治疗期间成为我的北极星。”

深受感动

在提到她的妻子——剧院导演苏西·麦肯纳（Susie McKenna）时，克拉克女士补充道：“苏西、我的家人和我被我们收到的汹涌爱意所淹没，深感谦卑并深受鼓舞。”

皇家莎士比亚公司该剧目的导演莫妮克·图科（Monique Touko）表示：“我们向莎伦表达所有的爱，祝愿她接下来的治疗和康复顺利。”

“我期待在合适的时机，我们能再次聚在一起，与世界分享这部作品。”

皇家莎士比亚公司共同艺术总监丹尼尔·埃文斯（Daniel Evans）和塔玛拉·哈维（Tamara Harvey）补充道：“由莎伦饰演奥赛罗是这部改编剧的核心，这就是为什么我们决定推迟演出。”

“我们向莎龙传递我们的爱与力量，祝她完全康复。”

克拉克女士曾主演多部西区重大剧目，并出演了一系列电视节目。

在 20 世纪 90 年代，她还与 house 音乐组合 Nomad 共同取得了排行榜上的成功。

傀儡大师

弗拉基米尔·普京（VLADIMIR Putin）在俄罗斯军舰上身着海军制服，看起来像《雷鸟》中的傀儡约翰·特雷西（John Tracy），但其本质与其外表相反，更像是一个 FSB（联邦安全局）特工而非 FAB（时尚 / 华丽）。

这位克里姆林宫的独裁者在听取军官概述战略海上行动后，开始对西方大发雷霆。

随后，这位战争贩子抱怨道，“不幸的是，该地区正变得越来越容易发生冲突”。

也许“大脑”（Brains）能告诉他原因……

我不是邦德！

詹姆斯·诺顿称自己扮演 007 已经“年纪大了”

詹姆斯曾被告知缺乏魅力

詹姆斯·诺顿（JAMES Norton）已将自己排除在下一任邦德的候选名单之外，因为他已经 41 岁了。

自从丹尼尔·克雷格确认《无时间赴死》将是他最后一次饰演 007 以来，这位《欢乐谷》主演的名字就一直处于讨论范围之中。

在被问及相关传闻时，詹姆斯表示：“在过去的 10 年里，我被问过一千次了。我可以诚实地，扪心自问地说，不是我。”

“我想我现在可能有点年纪大了。”

丹尼尔在 2021 年《无时间赴死》上映时是 51 岁——而他被聘用时是 38 岁。

《空战群英》演员卡勒姆·特纳（Callum Turner）目前是接任他的热门人选，他今年 36 岁——且刚刚与流行歌星杜阿·利帕（Dua Lipa）结婚。

Ladbrokes 给出卡勒姆的赔率为 5 / 4，领先于《慢马》主演、36 岁的杰克·洛登（Jack Lowden），后者的赔率为 2 / 1。《超人》演员亨利·卡维尔（Henry Cavill） 43 岁，赔率为 6 / 1，而出演过《虾姑唱之乡》的 30 岁演员哈里斯·迪金森（Harris Dickinson）则是

作者：肖恩·奥格雷迪（SEAN O'GRADY）

10 / 1。下一任詹姆斯·邦德可能仍然是个谜——亚马逊 MGM 影业在 5 月宣布已开始搜寻——但其他事情已经确定。《沙丘》和《银翼杀手 2049》的导演丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦（Denis Villeneuve）将主导下一部电影，而《浴血黑帮》的创作者史蒂文·奈特（Steven Knight）正在撰写剧本。

詹姆斯成为 007 的赔率曾是 18 / 1，他在 Capital Breakfast 广播节目的采访中将自己排除在外，期间他还透露了另一个他没能拿下的角色——亿万富翁克里斯蒂安·格雷。

他说：“名单是无穷无尽的，因为在职业生涯初期，你

在奔波奋斗，而且你还会被派去参加那些你永远不可能拿下的疯狂试镜。很早之前我去试镜了《格雷的 50 道阴影》。我记得选角导演在看完我的录像带后说：‘挺好的，但我认为你需要更有魅力一点’。”

“那是最糟糕的。这基本上是在说，‘生活得酷一点，并且在人生方面表现得更好一点’。”

“令人惊讶的是，我没拿到那个角色。”

该角色由 44 岁的杰米·多南（Jamie Dornan）获得，他现在也是扮演邦德的黑马之一——Ladbrokes 给他的赔率是 66 / 1。哈里·斯泰尔斯（Harry Styles） 32 岁，赔率为 100 / 1，詹姆斯·考登（James Corden） 47 岁，赔率为 500 / 1，杰里米·克拉克森（Jeremy Clarkson） 66 岁，赔率为 1,000 / 1。Sky Bet 和 Paddy Power 给悉尼·斯威尼（Sydney Sweeney） 28 岁的赔率为 25 / 1。

草稿

肯尼·琼斯（Kenney Jones），1979 年与 The Who 乐队共同演出

独家报道

作者：John Earls

如果没有肯尼·琼斯（Kenney Jones），音乐史将会截然不同。他那具有催眠感的鼓点不仅点亮了 Small Faces、Faces 和 The Who 这些经典乐队，而且在 Small 主唱史蒂夫·马里奥特（Steve Marriott）退出、 乐队成立之时，正是这位具有说服力且为人亲切的摇滚乐手，说服了他的队友们，让他们相信罗德·斯图尔特（Rod Stewart）将是他们理想的新主唱。

1969年，斯图尔特还是一个鲜为人知但极具潜力的才子，担任小众蓝调团体杰夫·贝克组合（Jeff Beck Group）的主唱。当贝克的贝斯手罗尼·伍德（Ronnie Wood）想要转为弹吉他时，琼斯的队友们很乐意将伍德招入新阵容。但对于招募斯图尔特，他们则不那么热衷——尽管他们知道他是个伟大的歌手。

马里奥特离开 Small 是因为他厌倦了乐队那些尖叫的青少年观众，希望被严肃对待。因此，乐队的其他成员——贝斯手罗尼·莱恩（Ronnie Laine）和键盘手伊恩·麦克拉根（Ian McLagan）——分别尝试担任主唱。

在回忆 找到合适人选的那个决定性夜晚时，琼斯告诉我们：“罗尼和麦克的声音很棒，但总觉得少了点什么。我们缺少的是‘那个’声音。然后，罗德来看我们的演出。他一直来看，而且显然他就是完美的人选。”

“有一天晚上，我们正和 [歌手兼《Budgie》演员] 亚当·费思（Adam Faith）喝酒。我把罗德拉到一边说：‘听着，你想加入乐队吗？’罗德说好——但其他人会让他加入吗？我们回到了亚当的公寓继续喝酒。”

“当我告诉乐队我已经邀请罗德加入时，他们的反应是：‘不行！我们不能要任何傲慢的艺术家（prima donnas）。我们刚在史蒂夫身上经历过这个！’但我坚持自己的主张。我告诉他们，拒绝罗德将是非常愚蠢的。最终他们意识到了这一点。”

（因“伍迪和罗德太高了，我们不再‘小’了”而由 Small 更名）拥有如《Stay With Me》、《Cindy Incidentally》和《Ooh La La》等经典热门歌曲，助力斯图尔特开启了个人超级巨星之路。

的生活是喧闹曲调与狂放态度的完美结合，正如琼斯回忆的那样，其乐趣与外在表现一样多：“无论我们去哪里，都充满了欢笑。在机场办理登记时，我们会无聊到其中一个人直接摔倒。这会引起混乱，整个巡演期间每天都是如此。我们过得非常愉快。”

到那时，琼斯、莱恩和麦克拉根已经以尽情生活而闻名。1965年 Small 获得首首热门单曲《Whatcha Gonna Do About It》时，这位鼓手年仅15岁。他们与 The Who 一起，在发起 Mod 运动中发挥了重要作用，其外在形象与音乐一样犀利。

这支乐队成长于东伦敦的马诺公园（Manor Park），

肯尼·琼斯（Small 、 和 The Who 的鼓手）谈到他那“永远有趣”的好友“Moony”、他唯一的音乐遗憾……以及他希望与罗德·斯图尔特和罗尼·伍德合作新唱片的愿望

琼斯解释道：“我们成长在黑白时代，那是英国在战争后恢复时期的样子。每个人都穿灰色或黑色。后来服装店开始开业，我们发现在探索新时尚中充满了乐趣。”

“有一个周日中午，我回家和父亲喝酒，我穿着粉色裤子和红色衬衫。父亲说：‘你穿成这样我没法陪你去酒吧！’我说：‘爸，我还是我——但我现在是彩色的了。’”色彩斑斓的热门歌曲《All Or Nothing》、《Sha-La-La-La-Lee》和《Itchycoo Park》点亮了排行榜。但 Small 在第三张专辑《Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake》未能进入排行榜后解散了。如今该专辑被公认为经典，它是音乐史上最早的概念专辑之一，由喜剧演员斯坦利·安温（Stanley Unwin）旁白，讲述了一个男孩试图寻找月亮缺失的一半的故事。

马里奥特小时候曾是西区剧院《奥利弗！》（Oliver!）中第一个饰演“机灵鬼”（The Artful Dodger）的童星。琼斯认为这段经历启发了《Ogdens'》的叙事，他说：“在讲述歌曲的故事及其理念时，”

我每天依然想念基思

原 The Who 乐队鼓手基思·穆恩（Keith Moon）曾是肯尼·琼斯（Kenney Jones）的朋友；上图为 Small Faces 的单曲盒装集。

“史蒂夫天生就擅长将表演戏剧化和音乐化，因为他曾饰演过‘机灵鬼’（The Artful Dodger）并就读于意大利·孔蒂（Italia Conti）舞台学校。其实，我们应该把乐队命名为‘机灵鬼们’（The Artful Dodgers）而不是 Small Faces。在东区长大，我们就是那样的人。”

琼斯在萨里郡家中通过 Zoom 接受采访，当他描述遗憾 Small Faces 在演唱会上仅表演过一次《Ogdens'》（为 BBC2 音乐节目《Colour Me Pop》演出）时，他的表情变得阴沉。

“我真的很希望我们能更多地现场演奏《Ogdens'》，”77 岁的琼斯叹息道，“在英国，我们那种‘青少年偶像’的形象快把我们逼疯了。我们本该带着《Ogdens'》去美国。如果那样做了，我们可能会在一起更久。”

Small Faces 最终在 1977, 年重组，但没有莱恩（Laine）参加。然而，在朋克高峰期录制的 resulting 专辑《Playmates》却是一场灾难。

琼斯说：“当时朋克风潮兴起，史蒂夫完全接纳了那一套。我们在录音室合作时感觉很棒。但一旦登上舞台，史蒂夫就开始向观众吐口水并咒骂。他变成了一个完全不同的人。我希望我人生中的那段时期从未发生过。我本该在罗尼离开时就走掉的。”

次年是琼斯职业生涯中最感伤的时刻，他接替好友基思·穆恩加入了 The Who 乐队。此前，“穆尼”（Moony）因服用控制饮酒的药物导致意外过量而去世，年仅 32 岁。

Faces 乐队和 The Who 乐队经常一起巡演，这让两名鼓手之间产生了许多令人捧腹的趣事。琼斯说：“和穆尼在一起时，你永远不知道会发生什么。如果我们是在酒吧里，而穆尼不是关注的焦点，他就会把饮料浇在自己头上。”

酒店是混乱的重灾区。“在格拉斯哥的一家酒店办理入住进入房间后，我听到一种像在挖掘的声音。那是一家很不错的酒店，但我以为里面有老鼠。突然间，声音越来越大。原来是穆尼在隔壁房间钻洞。他把头从缝隙中猛地探进来，说：‘想喝一杯吗？’”

“另一次，我正在整理行李箱，突然听到一阵呼啸声。我朝声音走去，突然间我被淋得透湿，直接向后摔在行李箱上。穆尼把一根消防水带塞到了门底下。他简直幽默得没完没了。”

鼓手去世的那晚，琼斯就和穆尼在一起，当时他们参加的是保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney）为麦卡制作的电影《巴迪·霍利故事》（The Buddy Holly Story）西区首映礼举办的派对。

肯尼（最左）加入 The Who 后，与约翰·恩特威斯尔（John Entwistle）、罗杰·达尔特雷（Roger Daltrey）和皮特·汤普森（Pete Townshend）合影

肯尼（中间）在 Faces 乐队与罗尼·伍德（Ronnie Wood）和罗德·斯图尔特（Rod Stewart）合影

琼斯回忆道：“基思告诉我：‘我不喝酒了。如果我喝酒或吸毒，我现在服用的这些药会让我病得很严重。’他看起来真的很开心。然后我回家了，第二天我打开电视，新闻立刻在播报基思去世的消息。我以为他在开一个恶作剧。前一天晚上我还和他在一起，这不可能是真的。这太令人悲伤了。我每天依然想念基思。”

当时，琼斯正准备与埃尔顿·约翰（Elton John）的吉他手蒂姆·伦威克（Tim Renwick）组建一支乐队。出于忠诚，他最初拒绝了皮特·汤普森（Pete Townshend）邀请他加入 The Who 的提议，但他的新队友告诉他，如果不加入简直是疯了。

The Who 的新阵容共同制作了两张专辑，但歌手罗杰·达尔特雷（Roger Daltrey）认为琼斯的演奏与蒙（Moon）那夸张的风格相比有所欠缺。琼斯坚称两人之间没有任何矛盾，他表示：“罗杰讨厌看到任何人取代基思的位置。在当时，我认为他不会接受任何人。我在加入时就明确表示：‘我是一个完全不同的鼓手。我是一个更稳健的鼓手，这就是我的演奏方式。’我理解罗杰为什么会不高兴。我们相处得很好，我们之间没有问题。”

2014年，在被诊断出患有前列腺癌后，琼斯为了支持英国前列腺癌协会（Prostate Cancer UK）的一场单次音乐会，再次回到了 The Who 的鼓架后面。他说：“能再次与他们一起演奏真是太棒了，效果非常出色。”

尽管他曾与史蒂夫·马里奥特（Steve Marriott）、罗德·斯图尔特（Rod Stewart）和罗杰·达尔特雷合作，但琼斯将最高的赞誉留给了 Free 乐队的歌手保罗·罗杰斯（Paul Rodgers），两人曾在 90 年代的 The Law 乐队中共同演出。琼斯现在与好友奈杰尔·亚当斯（Nigel Adams）共同经营一家名为 Nice 的唱片公司。除了即将推出的 Small Faces 单曲精选盒装集外，他们还希望能够发行 The Law 未公开的第二张专辑，琼斯热情地表示：“保罗拥有极致的嗓音。甚至罗德都非常认可他……他的声音如此温暖，简直完美。”

这表明，在职业生涯超过 60 年后，肯尼·琼斯（Kenney Jones）依然在巧妙地活跃着。甚至在他们最后一张唱片发行 53 年后，现在还有计划与斯图尔特和伍德（Wood）共同推出一张新的 Faces 专辑和一部纪录片。

“我们已经有了新音乐的想法，”琼斯微笑着说，“罗德和罗恩总是很忙，但我们只要有机会就会见面。我能说什么呢？它正在变得越来越好。”

这无疑证明了 Small Faces 的第一任经理、莎伦·奥斯本（Sharon Osbourne）之父唐·阿登（Don Arden）对这些摇滚音乐人的看法是错误的。

琼斯说：“在一次会议后，唐开车送我回东区（East End）。他给我做了一次激励谈话，说：‘趁现在还能拿到什么就拿什么，因为这只能让你维持三个月。’那三个月已经持续了六十多年。”

● Small Faces 7 盒装集 The Immediate Singles 1967-69 将于 10 月 2 日发行。请在 nicerecord.co.uk 预订。

年度海洋摄影师

海洋生物的认可之印

马修·史密斯 (MATTHEW SMITH)： 在福克兰群岛的海狮岛上，南象海豹幼崽在浅水岩池中探索，在脱离母亲哺乳后，尝试它们在水中的第一次活动。这些幼小的海豹必须迅速学会游泳并独立生存。当它们互相攀爬并调查周围环境时，这一场景捕捉到了它们从陆地幼崽转变为海洋探索者的关键时刻。

盖尔戈·鲁格利 (GERGO RUGLI)： 在悉尼的塔马拉马海滩，在强劲的涌浪和离岸风中，海豚与冲浪者一同乘风破浪。这群海豚与冲浪者待在一起一个多小时，在冲浪线中穿行，就像周围的人类一样自然。这张在水中拍摄的照片将海洋呈现为一个共享空间，人类与野生动物在此短暂地同行。

茂木裕太 (SHIGENO YUTA)： 在日本，一对双斑 cardinalfish（ cardinalfish 属鱼类）在充满活力的圣诞树虫场上方寻求庇护。这些实际上是生活在珊瑚内部的微小海洋蠕虫的摄食冠，它们伸出螺旋状结构以捕捉水中的浮游生物。它们对动作和光线极其敏感，一旦受到干扰会立即缩回。这张照片突显了珊瑚礁生态系统隐藏的复杂性。

作者：弗朗西丝·米勒 (FRANCES MILLAR)

一只海豹幼崽勇敢地第一次进入水中，为在海洋波涛中的生活做准备。

它在福克兰群岛一个浅水岩池的表面下方，用大而焦虑的眼睛盯着相机，在这里它必须迅速学会游泳，脱离母亲独立生存。

这张令人心碎的照片让摄影师马修·史密斯在今年的“年度海洋摄影师”竞赛中入围决赛。

另一张非凡的照片显示，在澳大利亚悉尼的一处海滩外，海豚在波涛中穿行，在阴沉的天空和海滨高楼的阴暗背景映衬下显得格外亮眼。

自然界残酷的一面在两头虎鲸叼走一头与母亲分离的座头鲸幼崽的照片中得到了探索，

艾伦·克罗宁 (ALLAN CRONIN)： 在新西兰海域，一只新西兰毛皮海豹正在撕碎一条粗糙的鳐鱼，而海鸟们聚集在周围等待残渣。由于无法将如此巨大的猎物整吞，海豹反复抛掷鳐鱼将其撕成碎片。这张从皮划艇上拍摄的惊人场景揭示了每顿餐食之后随之而来的生命之链。

[—接前文—] 分离的座头鲸幼崽，以及另一张显示新西兰毛皮海豹撕碎鳐鱼的照片。

一个更令人愉悦的选择是显示日本一对双斑 cardinalfish 在彩色圣诞树虫场上方的照片，以及另一张显示夏威夷绿海龟在日落时分休息在海洞中的照片。

2026 年的竞赛突显了我们海洋之美以及保护它们的紧迫需求。

海洋覆盖了地球表面的 70%，但水温升高和栖息地破坏正使海洋生物承受越来越大的压力。“年度海洋摄影师”总监威尔·哈里森 (Will Harrison) 表示：“随着海洋承受的压力增加，见证这些压力的艺术家的重要性也随之增加。”获胜者将于 9 月公布。

拉斐尔·费尔南德斯·卡巴列罗 (RAFAEL FERNANDEZ CABALLERO)： 在墨西哥太平洋海域，在一群虎鲸将一只座头鲸幼崽与母亲分离近一小时后，两头虎鲸重新浮出水面，共同叼着它们的猎物。这张照片揭示了虎鲸的协作狩猎策略，即多个个体共同工作以孤立并制服大型猎物。

莱顿·卢姆 (LEIGHTON LUM)： 日落时分，夏威夷绿海龟在茂宜岛一个避风的海洞中共同休息。这些海龟曾遭到严重捕猎，经过数十年的保护已有所恢复，像这样的聚集显示了所取得的进展。在小心进入海洞后，摄影师观察到随着潮汐上涨，更多的海龟陆续抵达，最终在这个避难所中数到了 17 只。

家中被杀祖母案发出呼吁

作者：ELEANOR BARLOW

一名在自家中被杀的祖母的家人表示，他们“渴望”得到答案，并在她本应迎来 69 岁生日之际发出了呼吁。

去年 10 月 4 日下午 12.30pm 刚过，罗斯·约翰斯顿（Rose Johnston）被发现死在利物浦的多弗科特（Dovercot），头部有钝器伤。

侦探认为，仍有掌握信息的人尚未出面。一名 37 岁的男子于 5 月因涉嫌谋杀她而被捕，目前仍处于有条件保释状态。

在今天（本应是约翰斯顿夫人生日）发布的一份声明中，她的家人发出了寻求帮助的恳求。

他们表示：“我们仍然处于震惊和难以置信的状态，不明白为什么我美丽的母亲会遭遇这一切。

罗斯·约翰斯顿于 2025 年去世

“默西赛德郡警方（Merseyside Police）的调查非常全面，我知道他们正在努力寻找凶手。

“我直接向那些可能掌握任何信息的人呼吁，无论你认为这些信息多么微小或琐碎，请出面提供。请将其告知警方，或匿名告知 Crimestoppers，帮助抓获此人。”

Crimestoppers 提供最高 2 万英镑 的奖励。

首席侦探督察凯瑟琳·沃尔什（Catherine Walsh）表示：“过去的 10 个月对罗斯的家人来说异常艰难，我们决心为他们争取应得的答案。

“我们仍然相信答案就在当地社区中，而且有些人掌握着信息。

“我只想说，请做正确的事，出面提供线索。对罗斯谋杀案负责的人不配在街上行走。”

舞台与电视传奇人物希拉在 99 岁时谢幕 作者：LAUREN DEL FABBRO 西区明星希拉·马修斯（Sheila Mathews）去世，享年 99 岁，她是英国娱乐界职业生涯最长的人物之一。 她的长期好友迈克尔·桑顿（Michael Thornton）在声明中表示，这位演员最后的愿望是活到 100, 岁，但她先后遭受了多次中风。 希拉 3 岁时便在舞台上首次亮相，出演过《酸甜》（Sweet ‘N’ Sour）等剧目。她还在 ITV 的《十字路口》（Crossroads）中饰演劳拉·马歇尔（Laura Marshall），扮演汽车旅馆老板大卫·亨特（David Hunter）的女友，并在《谢莉》（Shelley）中饰演纳什夫人，在《保镖》（Minder）中饰演博斯韦尔夫人。 这位明星于 1957 年与导演查尔斯·雷丁（Charles Reading）结婚，育有两个女儿。她的家人表示：“她几乎实现了所有的抱负，但最后一个愿望未能达成。遗憾的是，她的时间到了。”

突破障碍

作者聚焦于被时间遗忘的无畏女性赛车手

在许多人对女性开车——更不用说在赛道上疾驰——感到震惊的年代，身着赛车服、穿着细跟鞋跳出赛车的迷人女性们，终于迎来了她们的胜利之圈。

“布鲁克兰之美”（Brooklands Belles）在 20 世纪 30 年代打破了规则书并横扫赛道，凭借在方向盘后挑战死亡的技巧以及赛场外令人心潮澎湃的魅力，强行闯入了由男性主导的赛车运动世界。

但在第二次世界大战之后，“之美”们的传奇故事及其对那个时代的影响逐渐淡出了历史。

现在，一本新书——《布鲁克兰之美：挑战男性的女性赛车手》（Brooklands Belles: The Women Racers Who Took on the Men）——旨在让这些女性重新回到快车道。作者托比·哈特韦尔（Toby Hartwell）解释道：“‘之美’们的全盛时期虽然短暂，但极其辉煌，她们曾绽放出耀眼的光芒。”

“她们是卓越的、光彩夺目的、具有启发性的、迷人的角色，也是体育先驱。她们挑战了这项尚在起步阶段但由男性主导的运动的规则，并且绝不接受拒绝。”

“她们的故事值得更广泛的受众了解。这不仅仅是为了在记录册中夺回她们的位置，更是为了标志着她们在几十年前所做的一切、所面对并克服的挑战，在今天依然能产生共鸣并带来启发。”

来自多塞特郡的托比，今年 68 岁，出身于一个热爱汽车和赛车运动的家庭。

他的叔祖父甚至曾在萨里郡的布鲁克兰赛道参加过比赛，那是世界上第一个专门建造的赛车赛道，也是“之美”一词的来源。

本月也恰逢英国首场大奖赛在该地举办 100 周年。

但真正吸引托比注意力的是一张旧照片。

他解释说：“我看到一篇文章，里面有一张极精彩的照片，一名穿着赛车服的女性穿着细跟鞋跳出赛车——那是 1931 年的事。”

“我做了一些研究，立刻被这群非凡女性的故事和照片所吸引。我必须让她们‘复活’。”

布鲁克兰赛车赛道于 1907 年开放。

其巨大的混凝土圆形剧场拥有令人胆战心惊的高陡坡道，定期举办的赛事吸引了数以万计的观众。

其宗旨是“正确的人群，且不拥挤”。

继雅士谷（Ascot）、亨利（Henley）和温布尔登（Wimbledon）之后，赛车会议成为了该国富裕阶层社交日程中的重要项目。

作者：苏·李（Sue Lee）

但最初，赛车仅对男性驾驶员开放。女性仅参加了两场比赛，随后就被布鲁克兰汽车赛车俱乐部禁止参赛，理由是没有“女性骑师”，那么为什么会有女性赛车手？

托比说：“那个时代，许多人对女性开车的想法感到震惊，更不用说驾驶赛车或摩托车了。当时有一名法官在审理一名女性超速驾驶的案件时被引用说，‘早就该禁止 30 岁以上的女性开车了’。”

直到 20 世纪 20 年代末禁令被解除，女性才被允许再次参赛——起初是女性之间竞争，随后到 1932 年，开始与男性在平等条件下竞争。

“布鲁克兰之美”由此诞生。其中一些人已婚，另一些人在第一次世界大战中驾驶过救护车，许多人是朋友。

但她们全部都是好胜的“速度女王”，在赛道内外不断突破界限。

身为两个孩子父亲的托比解释道：“我最喜欢的‘之美’之一是凯·彼得（Kay Petre）。”

“她身高只有 4 英尺 10 英寸，必须在赛车的踏板上安装木块才能踩到。凯非常迷人，她将自己的赛车——一辆布加迪（Bugatti）和一辆德拉日（Delage）——喷成了特定的蓝色，并定制了配套的赛车服。她甚至在车里准备了一个‘美容包’——一个秒表、香烟、口红和面粉。”

“她是一位无与伦比且无畏的驾驶员，创造了三项圈速记录，并在以该速度完成一圈后被授予‘130mph star’。”

然而，1937 年的一场严重事故结束了这位出生于加拿大的赛车手的职业生涯。

她后来成为一名记者、美食作家和汽车通讯员，于 1994 年去世，享年 91 岁。

凯（Kay）的同行之一是菲·泰勒（Fay Taylor），她被称为“飞行菲”，起初是一名摩托车手，但后来转向赛车并取得了巨大的国际成功。

在描述她时，将其称为一名“特立独行者”——在一次比赛中，菲过于沉浸在兴奋之中，拒绝停止，又多跑了几圈。

托比（Toby）说她也有阴暗的一面：“菲

（左图）凯西·福利（Cathy Foley）骑着她的凯旋（Triumph）赛车，路易·贝尔（Louie Bell）骑着詹姆斯（James）赛车，参加在布鲁克兰（Brooklands）举行的六日耐力赛

才华横溢，但也是法西斯领导人奥斯瓦尔德·莫斯利爵士（Sir Oswald Mosley）的追随者，并且崇拜希特勒。因此，她在战争期间被拘留。那是她致命的缺陷。”尽管如此，菲在 20 世纪 50 年代仍继续参加比赛。她于 1983 年去世，享年 80 岁。

另一位“美女赛车手”（Belle）比阿特丽斯·席林（Beatrice Schilling）被托尼（Tony）描述为“不苟言笑，嘴里通常叼着一支烟”。

他继续说道：“她在第二次世界大战期间发明了一种装置，解决了像喷火式（Spitfire）这类战斗机发动机经常出现窒息和熄火的问题。她奔波于各个机场安装这些装置，毫无疑问挽救了许多许多生命。”

比阿特丽斯起初参加摩托车赛，并凭借一台自己改装的摩托车赢得了一场布鲁克兰赛事。后来她转向赛车，在自己的工作室里对其进行调校。

作为皇家飞机研究机构（Royal Aircraft Establishment）的一名航空工程师，她因其战争时期的工作被授予 OBE 勋章，并于 1990 年去世。

托比说，随着 20 世纪 30 年代的推进，人们开始“勉强”接受这些“美女赛车手”，并承认她们与男性同行一样优秀。

然而，随着第二次世界大战的爆发，赛车运动戛然而止，该场地被转用于生产军用飞机。这条赛道再也没有迎来过比赛。

如今，这里成为了航空和汽车博物馆的一部分，并保留了部分著名的 60 度倾斜坡道赛道。

托比说，在战后重建的匆忙之中，这些“美女赛车手”及其事迹逐渐淡出了人们的记忆。

他说：“布鲁克兰从未重新开放，这在客观上让她们短暂的成就被封存在了过去。但她们理应获得更高的赞誉。

“我想传递她们的故事，因为这表明障碍是可以被打破的。

“我希望我的孙女能从这些生活在她出生很久之前的女性身上获得启发，她们敢于尝试并取得了成功。”

每日快报 Friday, August 14, 2026 29

一位精明的爷爷在全家前往梅诺卡岛（Menorca）度假前囤积了 50 副日食眼镜，通过将多余的眼镜卖给感激的度假者，赚了 £340 多。

来自白金汉郡（Bucks）、现年 63, 岁的安德鲁·罗兹（Andrew Rhodes）现在已经覆盖了他的往返机票费用，剩下的钱还足够为他的孩子和孙辈买一顿饭。

这位 IT 销售员正前往这座西班牙度假岛屿，他的两个儿子及其家人正住在罗兹家族自 1971 年起就拥有的房产中。

梅诺卡岛是西欧最后几个可以看到日全食的地方之一。

但由于日食眼镜短缺，安德鲁担心他的家人和孙辈会错过这一时刻。

机智的安德鲁设法找到了一家批发商，并在周二起飞前开车前往领取。

但在将眼镜分发给儿子们、他们的妻子和孩子后，他剩下了一大部分盈余。

他的儿子萨姆（Sam）在当地的 Facebook 页面上发布消息，称他的父亲将于周三 10 点起，在卡拉托雷特（Cala Torret）、比尼贝亚（Binibea）镇的一个广场上以每副 €10 的价格出售这些眼镜。

独家报道 作者：理查德·阿什莫尔（RICHARD ASHMORE）

在收到大量消息后，眼镜在几分钟内被抢购一空，萨姆不得不删除该帖子。

这位五个孩子的爷爷安德鲁说：“有个爱尔兰人买了一些——他开玩笑说在梅诺卡岛买可卡因比买日食眼镜更容易。”

承诺

“每个人都发了私信，说‘我要两个’或者‘我要四个’，当我身在广场时，还有几个人发信息说‘我们到了’。

“我们当时担心已经答应了一些人，如果他们过来而我们却卖完了怎么办，所以 Sam 把信息删了，然后我们将所有的眼镜都卖光了。

“这笔钱抵扣了我的度假费用，而且还会用来给我的孩子和孙辈们买顿大餐。

“我赚了大约 €400 —— 我来这里的往返机票是 £59，所以机票钱已经回来了。

“在起飞前的卢顿机场，我在酒吧里手里拿着一副眼镜，当时有两个小伙子说他们要去梅诺卡岛。

“他们说专门预订了一次航海之旅以配合日食，但没能买到任何眼镜。

“我说‘那么，你们可能运气不错！’我当场卖给他们三副，价格就是它们在英国时抢手时的典型价格。

“这是一个很棒的故事。遗憾的是， 150 年后梅诺卡岛下一次发生日全食时，我应该不在人世了。”

安德鲁和他的家人在比尼贝亚附近的一个岬角观看了这一震撼的盛况，他在那里成功拍到了一些太阳奇观的惊人照片。

他说：“这是欧洲最后一块可以看到日全食的陆地，非常特别。”

在日全食发生的瞬间，当地小伙 Aleix 向相处了 14 年的女友 Paula 求婚，她接受了，现场爆发出一阵巨大的欢呼声。

安德鲁说：“我后来和他们聊过。除了 Paula 以外的所有人都知道这件事 —— 幸运的是她答应了。这是一个特殊时刻里每个人的特别瞬间。”

受害者，102, 涉嫌袭击案中“患有痴呆症”

一名 102 岁的曾祖父在酒吧涉嫌遭到袭击后去世，其儿子表示他患有痴呆症。

来自南威尔士库姆布兰（Cwmbran）的菲利普·奥默罗德（Phillip Ormerod）在本周于该镇的 Crow's Nest 酒吧发生事件后在医院去世。

在致敬词中，他的儿子罗伯特（Robert）表示，他的父亲是一个“知名人物”，也是该酒吧受欢迎的常客。

这位鳏夫（见插图）患有痴呆症，独自住在他在那里抚养家庭的利亚奈隆（Llanyraion）地区。

罗伯特说：“我感到很悲伤 —— 尽管由于年龄和痴呆症，他有时可能很古怪，但你仍然习惯了他的陪伴。虽然我想他不可能永远活下去，但我认为他本可以再撑一段时间。

“我以前经常去看他。在最后阶段，我和我哥哥负责帮他打扫房子并购买食物，因为他的视力下降了。”

8 月 1 日晚上 10.25，在收到一起袭击报告后，应急服务部门被召至该酒吧。

一名来自拉内利（Llanelli）的 56 岁男子因涉嫌袭击被捕，目前仍在接受调查。

剧组轶事 共同登基……诺顿遭遇最严重的侮辱

编辑： 凯·哈里森（KAY HARRISON）

正当你认为自己已经看遍了所有成长题材电影时，《Sunny Dancer》横空出世，涵盖了所有关于年轻爱情、焦虑和自我发现的元素——故事发生在一个癌症青少年夏令营中。在这部独立电影中，《权力的游戏》演员贝拉·拉姆齐（Bella Ramsey）饰演脾气暴躁的 17 岁少女艾薇（Ivy），她正处于缓解期，但当她被父母——James Norton, 41, 和《驯鹿宝贝》的 Jessica Gunning, 40, ——打发到“化疗营”去寻找志同道合的人时，她并不怎么高兴。

虽然 Ramsey, 22, 最初担心这个故事可能会“令人尴尬或非常压抑”，但阅读剧本后消除了所有误解——而且拍摄过程充满乐趣。

“太神奇了。感觉非常美好且自然，”拉姆齐说。“她没有强迫自己开心，而是积极地尝试让自己不开心，尽管她其实挺开心的。我想我在现实生活中的感受也是如此。”

“拍摄过程自然而然地很有趣。我没有试图寻找乐趣——每天就是如此。”

诺顿也是《权力的游戏》宇宙的一员，他曾

“我想他对于有个青春期女儿这件事有点不高兴”

出演过《龙之家族》——但在宣传采访中，贝拉提到他对自己在《Sunny Dancer》中的角色有一个顾虑。

“我想他对于有个青春期女儿这件事有点不高兴，”拉姆齐笑着说。“他觉得自己的年纪还不够大，不能扮演一个青少年的父亲。所以这很有趣。”

“他和饰演我母亲的杰西卡·冈宁相处得非常好，我的父母太酷了。”

对于导演 George Jaques, 26, 来说，这也是一个极具个人色彩的项目，他小时候目睹了母亲与癌症抗争，并且曾与青少年癌症信托基金会（Teenage Cancer Trust）合作，接触过那些决心充分生活、不负光阴的青少年。

“我们想拍一部能让你在走出电影院时翩翩起舞的电影，让你想起我们能来到这里并拥有健康是多么幸运，”他说。这是一种我们所有人都需要的阳光心态。

现已在电影院上映

即将上映

在《水疗周末》（Spa Weekend）中，女孩们只想尽情欢乐。三位从小最好的朋友前往棕榈泉的一次豪华度假，旨在享受急需的呵护。但当她们那位生活一团糟的朋友出现时，放松的氛围陷入了混乱。主演包括艾斯拉·费舍尔、安娜·法里斯、莱斯利·曼和米歇尔·布托。

在编剧兼导演乔治·雅克斯（George Jaques）这部关于成长的作品中，一名治疗师将悲伤辅导比作调制一杯果汁。每一次疗程都像是在悲伤和遗憾的情绪中加入水，减轻痛苦，直到最终变得可以忍受。

这种调制饮品的类比同样适用于《阳光舞者》。雅克斯的开局很强，在第一小时内呈现了许多最具冲击力的场景，但在最后阶段，他用可预见的叙事选择冲淡了那个肯定生命的讯息。

17岁的艾薇（贝拉·拉姆齐 饰）白血病缓解已 10 个月，但尚未找回对生活的热情。她的父母（詹姆斯·诺顿、杰西卡·冈宁 饰）为她报名参加了一个在苏格兰高地举办的为期四周的夏令营，由帕特里克（尼尔·帕特里克·哈里斯 饰）及其团队运营。艾薇对“儿童自由奔跑”（Children Run Free）强制要求的同伴情谊表现出明显的敌意，但她的抵触情绪逐渐软化，并与宿舍室友艾拉（露比·斯托克斯 饰）以及蓝眼睛的温柔男青年杰克（丹尼尔·奎因-托伊 饰）建立了持久的友谊。

本片在洛蒙湖附近的奥琴吉兰户外中心（Auchengillan Outdoor Centre）拍摄，《阳光舞者》用粗俗的幽默和不加掩饰的坦率处理了敏感的主题。拉姆齐与奎因-托伊在银幕上的化学反应十分甜蜜，他们之间克制且得体的亲密戏捕捉到了青春期纯真而尴尬的状态。斯托克斯带来了喜剧缓解效果，而哈里斯饰演的那个原本可能被忽略的配角则带来了令人眩晕的沉重打击。

雅克斯过多地播放了电影中那首充满活力的主题曲——剪刀姐妹组合（Scissor Sisters）的《我不想跳舞》（I Don't Feel Like Dancin'），并且他像用隐喻扩音器一样预告了电影的结局，过早地揭示了他的剧本把戏。

TONY

CERT 15，现正热映 ★★★

导演马特·约翰逊（Matt Johnson）这部关于安东尼·波登（Anthony Bourdain）的精彩传记片，以这位受人尊敬的大厨的非虚构畅销书《厨房机密：烹饪底层世界的冒险》（Kitchen Confidential: Adventures In The Culinary Underbelly）中的精选文字开篇。

在傲慢和成年人的责任狠狠地扇他耳光之前，波登对自己弱点的刻骨且诚实的评估，在《Tony》中被毫无保留且令人不安地展现了出来。

影片沉浸在 1975 年的夏天。19 岁的安东尼（多米尼克·塞萨 Dominic Sessa 饰）信心爆棚，向父母和哥哥保证，他将成为一名住宅夏季写作奖学金的自豪获得者。

当委员会未能认可他的才华时，Tony（他更喜欢被这样称呼）

偷了父母的钱，以资助他前往普罗温斯镇追寻一个女孩（艾米莉亚·琼斯 Emilia Jones 饰）的旅行。他在一名巴西裔大厨（安东尼奥·班德拉斯 Antonio Banderas 饰）的厨房里找到了洗碗的工作，对方对烹饪的热情启发了他。

Tony 借鉴《厨房机密》，勾勒出一个注定会从巅峰跌落的年轻人的生动画像。

塞萨的精彩表演涵盖了波登每一个光辉的侧面。班德拉斯饰演的善良导师令人愉悦，尽管他的慷慨可能会在日后给自己带来麻烦；而里奥·伍德尔（Leo Woodall）则尽情演绎了那个靠可卡因驱动、好色且尖刻的餐厅员工萨尔（Sal）。

在开篇一小时恰到好处的酸、咸、辣之后，电影最后一道“甜点”般的温情感伤显得出奇地笨拙。

HOLY DAYS

CERT 12A，现正热映 ★★★

在由娜塔莉·博尔特（Nathalie Boltt）编剧并执导的这部随性公路片中，修女们为了拯救她们的修道院免于被拆除而开始逃亡。《Holy Days》改编自乔伊·考利（Joy Cowley）的小说，试图向苍天寻求神圣的喜剧灵感，但没有人回应这部电影的祈祷。

如果不是因为初次演戏的伊莱贾·塔马蒂（Elijah Tamati）带来了光彩夺目的表演（让人想起朱利安·丹尼森在《寻找野孩子》中成名的表现），这场跨代之旅在 101 分钟的片长中，可能会有很长一段时间在勉强支撑。

在 1974 年的新西兰，阿格尼丝修女（朱迪·戴维斯 Judy Davis 饰）、卢克修女（米里亚姆·马格莱斯 Miriam Margolyes 饰）和玛丽·克莱尔修女（杰基·韦弗 Jacki Weaver 饰）是她们那座破旧修道院中“最后的恐龙”。

一个名叫布莱恩（塔马蒂 饰）的 10 岁淘气男孩，其母亲保拉被埋在

修道院的墓地里，他无意中听到芬德利神父（乔尼·布鲁 饰）与切托主教（约翰·巴赫 饰）勾结，准备卖掉修道院的土地。

一旦修女们得知了神父的阴险计划，她们便带着调皮的小鬼布莱恩，开着一辆偷来的车，开始了一场前往南岛的即兴救援行动，以夺回修道院的契据。

《Holy Days》是一个初衷良好但陈旧的故事，未能充分发挥三位主演的潜力。马格莱斯因为角色患有痴呆症而获得了最抢眼的戏份。

当博尔特的剧本摆脱了放屁笑话并引起观众会心的轻笑时，这通常要归功于塔马蒂精彩的冷面表演。

阿格尼丝修女声称自己有几十年的开车经验，布莱恩迅速在后座反驳道：“不是这十年”。这话出自一个抢戏的小家伙之口。

《橡树街的终结》（THE END OF OAK STREET）

CERT CLA，现正热映 ★★★

如果某种怪诞的科学突然将你传送到《侏罗纪公园》的核心地带，你认为在被狂暴的棘龙或俯冲的翼龙把你的股骨当成简陋牙签之前，你能生存多久？

故事设定在 1982 年，比史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格首次带领基因工程恐龙出巡早了十多年。《橡树街的终结》是一部喧闹且残酷的生存惊悚片，充斥着横冲直撞的史前巨兽，并从一个处于崩溃边缘的破碎家庭的视角展开讲述。

丹妮丝·普拉特（安妮·海瑟薇 饰）和丈夫格雷格（伊万·麦格雷戈 饰）的婚姻陷入了僵局。他们的孩子奥黛丽（梅西·斯特拉 饰）和布莱恩（克里斯蒂安·康弗里 饰）能感受到橡树街家中弥漫的紧张气氛。

这位不快乐的母亲在地下室寻求慰藉，在那里她起草一部小说的初稿，讲述一名妻子准备离开丈夫和孩子的故事。年迈的邻居哈德尔斯顿夫人（安妮·吉·伯德 饰）好心地帮她校对原稿。

与此同时，格雷格经常在家庭聚会中消失，通过兼职做披萨外送员来赚钱。

在格雷格和丹妮丝所生活的这个平淡无奇的美国郊区，并没有发生什么特别的事情，除非你把偶尔与爱争论的邻居梅尔（PJ·伯恩 饰）发生冲突也算在内，梅尔与布莱恩的狗“星巴克”之间有着不共戴天的仇恨。

一天晚上 11 点刚过，耀眼的强光预示着一种奇异现象的出现，它将普拉特一家温馨的社区传送回了数百万年前，回到了一个原始的地球景象中。那里居住着巨大的食肉生物，将人类贬到了食物链的最底层。

这个遭受创伤的家庭必须在极端的逆境中团结一致，在危险的环境中寻找出路，并寻找其他恐怖时空跳跃的幸存者。

《橡树街的终结》是一部充满干劲的闹剧，它热衷于抓住每一个机会将人类喂进数字渲染的掠食者那流涎的巨口之中。编剧兼导演大卫·罗伯特·米切尔对廉价的感伤免疫。

这位电影制作人兴致勃勃地刷出了令人印象深刻的双位数死亡人数，其中包括多次恐龙撕咬失去行动能力的人类猎物裸露肌肉的场景。

几场令人屏息的动作戏在令人心惊胆战的执行力上显然欠了《侏罗纪公园》和《侏罗纪世界》系列的情，但米切尔通过一个悄悄从后院游泳池中爬出的生物，设计出了属于他自己的、令人毛骨悚然的混乱高潮时刻。一场跨物种的冲突起初引发了无意间的笑声，随后又以一个残酷的结局挽回了局面。

海瑟薇和麦格雷戈全身心地投入到这对争吵夫妻面对威胁时截然不同的反应中。她拥抱冷酷而坚硬的现实主义，倾向于凭本能行动；而他则沉溺于一种被乐观情绪掩盖的否认状态中。

“我们会生存下来的，然后等待强光把我们带回去！”格雷格平静地告诉他的家人。至少在橡树街，走进光芒之中或许正是救赎。

不要说好运 (DON'T SAY GOOD LUCK)

CERT CLA, ON METEUS NOW ★★★

这部由朱莉娅·哈特（Julia Hart）执导的温柔成长礼戏剧，其片名取自剧场迷信，以优雅地探讨了人们熟悉的成长阵痛，并考验了亚当·桑德勒（Adam Sandler）的 teenage 女儿桑尼（Sunny）的演技。她在片中饰演一名自我怀疑的戏剧少年，正当她在高中的音乐剧中迎来重大突破时，家中却传来了毁灭性的医疗诊断结果。电影痛苦的后半段中，泪水如咸水般倾泻，令人无法否认。

十五岁的索菲·比伦鲍姆（Sophie Birenbaum，桑德勒 饰）正准备

参加音乐剧《女服务员》（Waitress）的角色试镜，这时父亲手机的一次误拨让她得知，母亲伊丽莎白（Elizabeth，梅拉妮·林斯基饰）正面临一场新的癌症之战。

这名高中生的世界瞬间崩塌。伊丽莎白和丈夫泰德（Ted，马克斯·格林菲尔德 饰）为了索菲和她的双胞胎兄弟而强颜欢笑，并请来伊丽莎白的父母（史蒂夫·布塞米和贝贝·纽沃斯 饰）提供支持。

《不要说好运》很大程度上依赖于桑德勒的表演，而她的应对令人赞赏。

索菲与父母之间两场核心的心灵对话

让搭档林斯基和格林菲尔德地情感地倾诉而精疲力竭。第一场戏在极细微之处未能产生完全的情感冲击，而第二场则造成了最大的情感摧毁。

用音乐剧《女服务员》的曲集来为索菲的内心动荡配乐是一次神来之笔，该剧讲述了一个关于即将为人母和新开始的温馨故事。萨拉·巴雷利斯（Sara Bareilles）为剧中那首震撼人心的民谣创作的音乐和歌词，是对风暴中心自我迷失的沉思，当由女儿唱给临终的母亲听时，产生了深远的共鸣：“她走了，但她曾属于我”。我的泪腺彻底崩溃了。

与 汉娜·史蒂芬森（HANNAH STEPHENSON）一起

本周作者

罗伯特·佩斯顿 (Robert Peston)

ITV 政治编辑谈论生活、死亡、压力以及 AI 的阴暗面——这也是他新惊悚小说的主题

在酒吧后屋的舞台上昂首阔步，大声演唱 Blondie 的《One Way Or Another》和 Carly Rae Jepsen 的《Call Me Maybe》，这看起来可能并不像 ITV 政治编辑罗伯特·佩斯顿 (Robert Peston) 习惯的环境。但他全身心地投入到“中间派爸爸” (Centrist Dad) 乐队的表演中，这支由他组建的乐队由佩斯顿担任主唱，他的好友、前影子财政大臣埃德·鲍尔斯 (Ed Balls) 担任鼓手。其他成员还包括 Radio 4 节目《Front Row》的主持人约翰·威尔逊 (John Wilson)。

“这绝对是一种治疗方式，”他在 ITV 的工作中获得了一次应得的休息时沉思道。此前，英国又迎来了一位新首相，且政治局面似乎经历了十年的混乱。

“我想在上次选举之后，我们都希望情况能变得稍微沉闷和无聊一段时间。但事实并非如此，”这位 66 岁的男人说道。

“写惊悚小说是我逃避现实的一部分，但音乐是我与世界切断联系的主要方式。当我们排练时，世界上所有的苦难都被挡在门外，我们再次变成了 13 岁的男孩。这是一种非常纯真的快乐。”

这还帮助了罗伯特，他有强迫症 (OCD) 和注意力缺陷多动障碍 (ADHD) 的病史，以及从青少年时期开始并延续到成年期的严重焦虑症，例如不踩人行道裂缝之类的仪式感行为。

他和埃德·鲍尔斯从 90 年代中期就相识，罗伯特回忆起多年前去约克郡拜访好友时，注意到他有一套鼓，于是便认为他会打鼓。

“当他加入（乐队）时，埃德并不是一个熟练的鼓手，但就像埃德做的所有事情一样，只要他决定做某件事，

他就会全力以赴，现在他已经成了一个相当不错的鼓手。”

他们仅为了给慈善机构筹款而演出。罗伯特回忆道，基尔·斯塔默爵士 (Sir Keir Starmer)、埃德·米利班德 (Ed Miliband) 和伊薇特·库珀 (Yvette Cooper，埃德的妻子，现任卫生大臣) 参加了他们 2023 年在伦敦的首场演出。

“当时有一个时刻，我开始演唱 Sex Pistols 的《Anarchy In The UK》。根据汤姆·鲁尔迪维斯 (Tom Ruldivis) 写的关于斯塔默的书（《基尔·斯塔默：传记》），据我了解那是完全真实的，斯塔默转向埃德·米利班德说：‘在任何情况下，你都不能跟着唱《Anarchy In The UK》。’”

撰写政治惊悚小说是降低压力水平的另一种方式。而《终止开关》(The Kill Switch) 是他该系列中的第三部，主角是虚构的调查记者吉尔·佩克 (Gil Peck)——他与佩斯顿有明显的相似之处——以及记者杰斯·尼斯肯斯 (Jess Neeskens)。当首相身体不适，在他们的播客采访中途晕倒并随后去世时，他们获得了一个出人意料的独家新闻。结果发现，首相被注射了一种新型病毒。

随后，寻找凶手的行动开始了。他们发现首相曾阻止一家大型科技公司管理包括国民医疗服务体系 (NHS) 在内的公共部门系统，他们怀疑这就是导致她被暗杀的原因。AI 及其可能性在书中占据了很大篇幅。

“三年来，我最大的痴迷就是人工智能，本质上是它的好与坏。好的一面是，如果运用得当，它可以让我们作为一个社会变得更有生产力，更加富裕。”

“但负面影响可能是极其严重且令人不安的，那就是 超

“ 的伟大创造者和专家们警告说， 有可能变成这种人工超级智能，它会决定重新编写自己的代码，以消除开发人员为了保护人类而设置的所有保护措施。”

他还担心 最终会取代大量工作岗位。“如果数百万人失去工作，

那么支付学校和医院费用的税收将从哪里来？这些是我希望我们的政治领导人能够关注的大问题。”

“在 2024 年的大选中，我每晚都会对汤姆·布拉德比（Tom Bradby，ITV《十点新闻》主持人）说，大选的问题在于没有人讨论我们这个时代最大的经济和社会趋势，即 AI。”

在工作之外，他也经历了自己的动荡。他结婚 14 年的妻子、小说家希安·巴斯比（Sián Busby）于 2012 年因肺癌去世，享年 51 岁。他们有一个儿子马克斯（Max）和一个继子西蒙（Simon）。他将自己投入到工作中，以分散对悲痛的注意力。

“我很幸运，热爱我的职业，所以我认为我把工作和新闻业当作了一种止痛药，一种镇痛剂。”

然而，为了能让亡妻的最后一本书得以出版而整理其笔记，成为了压垮情绪的最后一根稻草。

“阅读她的笔记让我感到极度的难过和疲惫。”

两个月后，他崩溃了，全身关节剧痛，随后住院并被诊断为反应性关节炎。在几个月的时间里，病情逐渐缓解。

“那是我的身体在对我说：‘停下来！给自己留点时间，不要再利用你那种过度活跃的倾向了。’当我们的生活中发生像妻子去世这样的灾难时，我们都需要时间去悲伤，并尝试理解自己是谁。”

随后，他与记者夏洛特·爱德华兹（Charlotte Edwardes）维持了八年的关系，两人在去年年初友好分手。之后，他在一个圣诞派对上结识了现在的伴侣，艺术家内尔·布雷耶（Nell Breyer）。

不过，这是一段异地恋，因为她住在纽约，而他住在伦敦。

“需要很多奔波，但我感到非常幸运能遇到这个可爱的人，”他说，“我们今年夏天大部分时间都在一起度过，这很美好。”

他的母亲在二月份去世，罗伯特认为如今他花更多的时间去悲伤和审视自我。

“从根本上说，我变得没那么害怕了。因为当你与像她那样勇敢的人在一起时——她确实极其勇敢——而且当生命中最重要的人离世时，这会让你意识到我们只有一次生命，你必须停止恐惧，去做你想做的事情。”

罗伯特·佩斯顿（Robert Peston）的著作《Kill Switch》现已由 Zaffre 出版，售价 £16.99

本周推荐四本新书

YESTERDAY & BOTH WOMEN BETHWEN YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW 作者：LUAN GOLDIE，精装本，£16.99 出生于格拉斯哥的 Goldie 带着另一部出色的文学小说回归，延续了她标志性的情感丰富、由角色驱动的叙事风格。

在经历了一场悲剧性的丧亲之痛后，Zoe 努力试图理解自己是谁，以及在悲痛之后生活应该是怎样的。老板的一次偶然请求让她进入了机智且富有魅力的同事 Cian 的生活圈，两人开始慢慢走出各自构建的内心围墙。随着关系的深化，他们必须决定，他们是在孤独中寻找慰藉，还是能够克服各自的心理负担，给自己一个追求更多可能性的机会。文字优美，这是一次关于爱、失去以及在创伤后前行的温柔探索。8 / 10

EDEN FALLS 作者：ALAY CHOWDHURY 精装本，£18.99 在 Adam Stone 从德里机场失踪后，他的妻子 Aisha 被迫与他之前的搭档 Sara Wolf 联手，揭开一系列线索，并寻找一个处于他失踪事件核心的神秘物体。

这部小说设定在一个感觉与我们现实世界惊人相似的世界中，提出了关于人工智能、政府腐败以及科技亿万富翁所掌握权力的质疑。小说采用多线叙事结构，保持了高度的悬念，让读者能够紧跟 Sara 和 Aisha 在被不同当局追捕时的猫鼠游戏。关于科学与技术的发人深省的观点，结合惊险的剧情，使《Eden Falls》成为一部真正扣人心弦的读物。8 / 10

HELLO BABY 作者：KIM EID-KYUNG，译者：SORA KIM-BUSSELL 平装本，£14.99 金义京（Kim Eui-kyung）这部在韩国备受推崇的女性主义小说，讲述了六名女性在首尔一家顶尖诊所尝试通过 IVF（试管婴儿）受孕的过程。

她们在一个 WhatsApp 群组中分享所有的希望与恐惧，直到其中一人 Jeong-Hyo 停止回复。一年后，她宣布生了一个孩子。其他女性准备去探访，但她们心中也带着疑问。《Hello Baby》触及了所有预料之中的痛点：难以相处的伴侣、更难搞的姻亲，以及生育梦想与工作之间的危险平衡。最重要的是，它讲述了朋友之间的支持，以及在追求相同结果时产生的不适的竞争性嫉妒。它将引起许多千禧一代的共鸣，而结尾的转折值得等待。8 / 10

ANNE JACOBSEN BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO 作者：ANNE JACOBSEN 精装本，£12 阅读 Jacobsen 关于基因工程瘟疫如何从实验室泄漏并毁灭人类的记录，往往感觉更像是一部科幻小说，而非其本身严肃的非虚构作品。

通过对美国高级官员和科学专家的采访拼凑而成，本书展示了一个无形的微生物如何能摧毁世界上最富有且科学最先进的国家。这是一次对潜伏在现实噩梦边缘之物的恐怖调查，其写作节奏如同惊悚小说。Jacobsen 向我们展示了这种被武器化用于生物战的疾病将如何传播，仅留下最坚定的幸存者。它看起来如此不真实，或许正标志着人们不愿面对这种可能性的心理。8 / 10

PODCASTS NOW HEAR THIS

With KAY HARRISON

GUZ 和 KIELL 将无法生存...

你发现了一个如此新鲜有趣的新播客，让你惊得把茶都喷了出来。你会怎么做：每周奖励自己听一集，以延长享受的时间？因为担心弄脏衣服而再也不听？还是在 24 小时内全部刷完，然后感到生命中出现了一个空洞？

在这部 Audible 原创作品中，面对自诩为冒险家的 Guz Khan 和 Kieff Smith-Bynoe，我做出了决定。而现在我必须紧握希望，期待第二季的到来。

这部作品既是选择你自己的冒险喜剧，又是生存指南，笑点和死亡场景接踵而至。这两位喜剧演员在六个极端环境中“醒来”——从澳大利亚内陆到北极，再到巴基斯坦的喀喇昆仑公路——并试图选择通往安全的路径。而这一切都是在舒适的播客录音室中完成的。

音效丰富且剪辑精巧，Guz 和 Kieff 反应敏捷、搞怪，显然玩得很开心。它展现了音频的魅力，将你带到水母出没的水域、冰封的河流、险峻的三角洲和蛮荒的沼泽。

死亡对 Kieff 来说是熟悉的领域，他在 BBC 热播剧《Ghosts》中饰演 Mike。但使用“无谷歌地图”导航则不然，他“即使在排队认人中也认不出北极星”。

《Man Like Mobeen》和《Taskmaster》的明星 Guz 同样地、令人愉悦地毫无用处。

对他们来说幸运的是，冷静的

哈-哈 哈-哈，生存下去... 生存下去

当疾病、感染、高温和河马袭击时，野外生存指南专家 Megan Hine 在死后世界随时待命。Megan 以与 Bear Grylls 合作而闻名，她“如此强悍，如果她是一块西冷牛排，你得向厨师投诉”。

她带来了救命的情报和狂野的个人轶事，并多次将这两个男孩扔回危险区域以完成任务。她是他们鲁莽行为的完美制衡，而她面对他们时如何保持面无表情本身就是一种技能。

有价值的教训从各个角度袭来——关于高山症和体温过低、比拉邦（billabong）的正确与错误做法、为什么压力会让你产生幻觉、如何应对愤怒的熊和袋鼠，以及奔牛的音乐品味——让他们能够最大限度地利用每集在包中发现的那些令人困惑的物品。

“我们深表歉意，但本节目包含大量粗俗语言，且充斥着愚蠢的决定，”我们收到警告。

这一切都极其精彩。Guz 和 Kieff 万岁。

我们触及的一切：维基百科

2001, 年 1 月，维基百科（Wikipedia）上线。这部全球免费百科全书现在已成为互联网的常设设施，是我们访问量前 10 的网站之一，而本系列探讨了它的运作方式以及我们是否可以信任它。

该系列来自悉尼科技大学的 Impact Studios，该工作室将沉重的学术研究转化为简洁有力的播客。它对我们习以为常的事物进行了一次迷人的挖掘，而这一切是由一个简单但革命性的想法驱动的：任何人，在任何地方，都可以帮助构建它。这里

还提供了关于如何更好地使用它的建议，无论你是教师、学生、编辑，还是想知道 Noah Wyle 是否结婚的人。曾就职于支持维基百科志愿者的 Wikimedia Foundation UK 的 Simon Knight 参与了一个问答集，问题涵盖了谁审核文章、资金来源以及 AI 如何改变现状。

防守与进攻：约翰·巴恩斯播客 (THE JOHN BARNES PODCAST)

如果可以，请关注这位前英格兰和利物浦球星，他有一个宏伟计划：通过粉丝互动和嘉宾采访，结合他在球场上的往事，探讨足球界最大的议题。以及为什么那段说唱一直挥之不去。

向他抛出问题的是西蒙·奥布莱恩（永远的《布鲁克赛德》中的戴蒙），他们是一个稳固的组合——仅在两集节目之后，剪辑片段在社交媒体上就产生了超过 100 万次观看。了解在为利物浦效力的 10 年间，是否有任何利物浦俚语影响了约翰，他对于出售哈里·凯恩是否影响了整个热刺队的看法，以及他是否真的知道米尔沃尔在哪里。节目节奏快，正为英超赛季预热。此外还有非足球话题，特别是关于男性健康和约翰患前列腺癌的经历。干得漂亮，巴恩西。

[...OMITTED...]

通过语音、遥控或触摸控制

其最突出的特点是完全离线运行的语音控制。它能响应 40 多个预设指令，让您无需起身或伸手拿手机，即可开启电源、调节风速、启动摆头或设置定时器——无需 wi-fi，无需应用程序，也无需安装设置。每条指令都在风扇内部处理，因此您所说的任何内容都不会被追踪或发送到云端。遥控器和触摸面板提供了另外两种调节方式，这种简洁性使其对于那些不想伸手操作控制面板的人来说真正易于使用。

强劲气流，覆盖范围广

该风扇配备一个节能的 45W 铜电机，可驱动强劲且稳定的气流，覆盖距离高达 90ft (27m)——比许多风扇的覆盖范围更远——且其设计使其比标准电机运行时间更长、更安静。六档风速可让您在轻柔微风与全屋循环之间自由切换，同时风头可垂直摆动 90 度，水平摆动 60 度，将空气向上、向前和向两侧发送，使整个房间都能感受到益处。

日夜静谧

运行噪音约为 20dB，足够安静，适用于卧室或育儿室；自然、常规和睡眠三种模式可根据具体时刻定制气流。12 小时定时器可让其仅在您需要的时间内运行，您还可以添加少量香氛来使微风更加清新。

全年适用

在夏季之后，它依然有用。在较冷的月份将其放置在加热器旁，它可以将暖空气均匀地在房间内循环，而不是让暖气聚集在一个角落。随机附赠遥控器和提手。

静音 10in (25cm) 桌面风扇 3 种模式：自然、常规和睡眠 6 档风速设置 90ft (27m) 气流覆盖距离 90 度垂直和 60 度水平摆动 3 种控制方式：触摸、遥控和语音

今日电视推荐

作者：迈克·沃德 (MIKE WARD) 电视评论员

今日首选 《超级富豪的手术秘密》(SURGERY SECRETS OF THE SUPER RICH)，C4 频道，晚上 8 点

亚历山大·阿姆斯特朗在斯里兰卡 (ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG IN SRI LANKA)，S 频道，晚上 8 点

如果你想看看他们是如何用大象粪便制造卫生纸的，那么你找对地方了。

或者更准确地说，亚历山大·阿姆斯特朗找对地方了。在参观斯里兰卡的一处大象保护区时，他询问是否有他能帮忙的地方。对方说有，然后递给他一把铲子。

令人惊讶的是，一头大象每天能产生高达“100kg 的粪便”（他实际上说的是“poo”而不是“dung”，但显然如果你在吃早餐时读到这段话，我不希望用“poo”这个词让你感到不适），因此他的任务就是收集一些粪便，交给现场的工厂，在那里它们被巧妙地变成了卷筒卫生纸及其他产品。

《普罗姆斯音乐会：贝多芬第七交响曲》(BEETHOVEN'S SEVENTH AT THE PROMS)，B.B.C4 频道，晚上 7 点

这里有一些关于贝多芬第七交响曲的事实。你能找出其中不协调的一项吗？

• (1) 它于 1813 年首次演出，是在一场为伤兵举办的慈善活动上。
• (2) 其第二乐章的人声改编版出现在一部 70 年代的科幻电影中，片中肖恩·康纳里穿着红色尿布和过膝长靴。如果不信可以去查查。
• (3) 瓦格纳称其为最高形式的舞蹈，“将身体运动的最崇高行为融入到理想的音调模具之中”。
• (4) 贝多芬回答道：“伙计，我完全不知道你在说什么。”

最佳侦探

《哈洛内瑟之谜》(THE HAWONESSER MYSTERIES)，B.B.C4 频道，晚上 7 点

万圣节到来之时，犯罪浪潮随之而来，莉莉开始调查此案。但当她有一个令人胆寒的发现时，是否有人已经采取私刑执法了？

花大钱去动刀

每当我观看这个节目时，我都会问自己同一个问题。不是问：“难道没有更好的节目吗？”（我很清楚有），而是：“如果我有钱，我自己会去做这些治疗吗？”

答案永远是：“不！当然不！我会做好几次。我甚至可能全部尝试一遍。”

我肯定会效仿来自柴郡的凯蒂，她正在做一个微创拉皮手术。据说价格从 9,500 英镑 起。我会付两倍的价格，然后要求做一个大拉皮。

我还会像美容作家艾玛那样，将我的脂肪细胞（我有很多多余的）注射到脸上，以解决眼下阴影的问题。倒不是说我真的有阴影，我也没有眼袋。我有的简直是行李箱。巨大的行李箱。大到易捷航空（easyJet）经常向我收取超重行李费。大约 9,000 英镑 还可以让我买到前足球运动员詹姆斯正在做的植发手术。前提是我能面对这个手术过程。它需要持续八个小时（就像 Vicks Sinex 广告中马尔科姆的母亲告诉他那样）。

但说正经的，这一切什么时候才是个头？如果有人坚持认为自己必须看起来“完美”，是否有一天他们终于会觉得已经达到了？

在治疗方面，他们难道不会总想再多做一个吗？就像吃品客薯片一样。

所以，回到那个问题——“难道没有更好的节目吗？”——答案是：“有！因为 BBC4 频道的周五晚上是‘史前 TOP OF THE POPS 之夜’。”

那些旧剧集带我们回溯得越远，就越能生动地提醒我们，在那个时代，即使是大明星，追求“完美”的外貌也不是一项考量。下次大卫·鲍伊出现时，看看他 70 年代的牙齿就知道了。

不过，即便在几十年前，也有一些明星想要让自己看起来状态极佳，尽管那时更多是指传统的发型和妆容。

比如《东区东街》（EastEnders）中的安妮塔·“安吉·瓦茨”·多布森，她出现在 10.05pm 的剧集中。那是 1986 年，安妮塔正在演唱她的热门歌曲《任何人都会坠入爱河》（Anyone Can Fall In Love），曲调采用了《东区东街》的主题曲。

“任何人都会坠入爱河，”歌词如此唱道，与那熟悉的旋律完美契合。“那是简单的一部分 / 你必须让它延续下去。”

或者，在我们家是这么唱的：“肮脏的丹是个邪恶的耗子 / 我们能把他毙了吗？ / 这家伙罪有应得……”

最佳娱乐节目

《THE ONE SHOW》 20 B.B.C4, 7PM

亚历克斯·琼斯和她的共同主持人罗曼·肯普汇集了该节目过去 20 年里一些最响亮的名字、最受欢迎的故事和最突出的时刻。

最佳剧集

《BERGERAC》 B.B.C4, 8PM

当关于凯特被谋杀之夜的一个真相改变了一切时，警察们很可能觉得他们离破案依然遥远。

最佳情景喜剧

《ANN ORGIO》 B.B.C4, 10, 40PM

琳达（戴安·摩根 饰）在苏（苏·约翰斯顿 饰）的露营地制造了混乱，而当她们与周围的露营者保持距离时，情况变得更糟了。

毫无头绪的工党投机者的六个无能阶段

除了最狂热的工党支持者，还有谁会被目前在媒体上上演的最新一出工党戏码所欺骗（“每位警察局长都要求阻止两名哈珀杀手提前释放”，August 13）？

第一步：在听到人们对杀手提前释放感到愤怒时，对此视而不见，并希望这件事能自行消失。

第二步：对无法采取任何措施阻止此事表示悔恨的悲痛。

第三步：声明尽管存在所有法律障碍，但仍打算不遗余力地阻止释放。

第四步：将责任推给另一个部门，退后一步，并说这与我无关。

第五步：找到一种阻止释放的方法，并大张旗鼓地宣布，以揽走所有功劳。

第六步：在没人注意的时候，嘲笑用工党的政治操弄（spin）欺骗公众是多么容易。

我们正接近第五步。 戴夫·奥斯汀（Dave Austin）， 白金顿圣彼得，白金汉郡（Chalfont St Peter, Bucks）

安迪首相将因对杀害警员者的回应而受到评判

政府改革中心（Centre for Government Reform）首席执行官阿米尔·科特查（AMEER Kotecha）关于公众愤怒程度的看法完全正确，两名杀害警员安德鲁·哈珀（PC Andrew Harper）的凶手在仅服刑 13 年刑期的一半后就可能被释放（评论，August 12）。

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）需要意识到他是首相，最终由他负责，而不是政府律师。如果立法规定囚犯提前释放符合英国人民的利益，他需要采取行动来实施。

在执行公务期间杀害应急服务人员是一个令公众深感愤怒的问题，伯纳姆将因此受到评判。

朱莉·福斯特（Julie Foster）， 伯恩利，兰开夏郡（Burnley, Lancs）

移民在巨型充气艇上感受“伯纳姆反弹”

我们听到了很多关于所谓“伯纳姆反弹”（Burnham bounce）的说法，但这对于将非法移民弹回原籍毫无作用。一个伟大的国家正被充气艇给“放气”了，这真是讽刺（“首相：我们将不得不改变应对巨型充气艇的策略”，August 12）。

伯纳姆关于像重视毕业帽一样重视安全帽的雄辩之词毫无意义，除非那些乘坐巨型充气艇的人面临大规模驱逐。如果没有行动，英国的孩子们——无论是接受过职业培训的还是其他类型的——都没有未来。

史蒂文·威尔士博士（Dr Steven Welsh）， 斯托诺韦，西群岛（Stornoway, Western Isles）

更便宜的住宿和更快捷的处理

在创纪录的 230 寻求庇护者乘坐小船抵达后，首相可能认为将他们转移到绿意盎然的郊区可以掩盖问题（“伯纳姆坚持认为‘绿意盎然的村庄’必须接受更多寻求庇护者”，August 12）。

事实并非如此。这仅仅在居民支付高昂成本的地区引发紧张局势，因为他们看到其他人获得了补贴租金。真正的问题是

被释放后继续杀人，双重谋杀犯兼强奸犯西蒙·莱维（Simon Levy）

英国皇家检察署（CPS）和警察双手沾血

一名法官对谋杀两名女性的西蒙·莱维（Simon Levy）判处终身监禁（“性掠夺者莱维将在监狱中死去”，August 13）。在这些罪行之前，他在 January 2025. 袭击并强奸了一名女性。尽管在已被保释期间被受害者认出，他仍被莫名其妙地释放。

In March 2025, 他谋杀了卡门扎·瓦伦西亚-特鲁希略（Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo），尽管在现场留下了 DNA，他再次被释放。By August 2025, 他谋杀了谢丽尔·威尔金斯（Sheryl Wilkins）。

英国皇家检察署（CPS）严重失职；如果早些起诉他，本可以挽救生命。英国交通警察局也未能根据视频证据采取行动。必须有人为此负责。

将寻求庇护者安置在精英阶层附近，看看他们是否喜欢

人们正在质疑非法移民是否应该被安置在中产阶级区域。

我的问题是，为什么不行？为什么不能也安置在上层阶级区域？为什么社会底层必须见证这些糟糕的事情？也许当中产和上层阶级在自家门前遇到这些问题时，才会有人采取行动将他们移除。我们现在不是一个两极分化的国家，对吧？

安妮·琼斯（Anne Jones）， 切希尔郡，斯塔利布里奇（Stalybridge, Cheshire）

建立安全营地并配备武装警卫以阻止入侵

我们必须停止为寻求庇护者提供房屋、汽车、手机和资金。

相反，应将他们安置在配备武装警卫的安全营地中，并停止申请处理。

开辟更多合法途径之所以失败，是因为那些中途退出的人干脆转向小型船只。不要指望通过将他们分散到 HMO（合租房）中就能让他们融入其中。

鲍勃·埃奇（Bob Edge）， 兰开夏郡，博尔顿（Bolton, Lancs）

“看我”式的表演政治根本行不通

工党拥有超过 400 名国会议员，因此政府应该已经知道民众想要什么。然而，安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）却在全国巡访，询问选定的选民想要什么，仅仅是为了给媒体作秀（见 8 月 13 日《首相的高街歇斯底里毫无意义》）。

这是纯粹的表演政治。他已经知道问题出在哪里；他应该留在威斯敏斯特解决这些问题。

理查德·威廉姆斯（Richard Williams）， 爱尔兰，瓦伦蒂亚岛（Valentia Island, Ireland）

盲目的社会主义者对富裕有奇怪的定义

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）对富裕的定义似乎是指任何没有领取收入补助的人。

伊恩·巴拉特（Ian Barratt）， 埃塞克斯郡，马尔登（Maldon, Essex）

用傻瓜取代机器人

恐怕工党用一个傻瓜取代了它的领导人——那个机器人。可怜且无助的安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）只想做一个“好先生”，寻求跨党派的一致。他不希望有任何抹黑或推卸责任的行为，这样我们就可以欣赏他的部长们忍耐地、痛苦地扭曲脸孔，因为他们不被允许将一切归咎于 14 年的保守党误政。

罗伊·丹尼尔斯（Roy Daniels）， 汉普郡，金斯克莱尔（Kingsclere, Hants）

建设海水淡化厂而非 HS2 虚荣工程

我们现在正处于第五次热浪中，不仅面临软管禁令，而且正式处于干旱状态（见 8 月 12 日《夏季将成为有记录以来最热夏天》）。我已建议我的国会议员在下议院发起一场关于建设海水淡化厂的辩论。

我们需要专注于重要的救命项目，而不是像 HS2 这样的虚荣工程。

危险且失败的电动滑板车实验已彻底崩盘

处于危险之中的不仅仅是骑行者，因为

行人必须与这些动力强劲且驾驶随意地车辆共用人行道。

65 年前 (1961) 我们的头版报道称，东德军队在铁丝网路障上安装了泛光灯，并被命令射杀任何试图逃离东柏林的人，试图阻止难民流向西方。在后来被称为“铁丝网星期日”的那一天，共产主义警察向大群抗议者喷射车载水炮。四天后，路障被第一批混凝土块取代，随后演变成了柏林墙。

47 年前 (1979) 当一场剧烈的风暴突然在英吉利海峡西侧爆发时，快网（Fastnet）帆船赛中有 15 名水手丧生。英国皇家海军和其他船只从海中救起了 125 名帆船运动员。灾难发生后，新的安全条例得以实施，比赛规模被限制在 300 艘帆船以内。

85 年前 (1941) 富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统和英国首相温斯顿·丘吉尔在纽芬兰海岸附近举行会谈，以重申两国的同盟关系。会谈在“奥古斯塔”号战舰上举行，双方达成了《大西洋宪章》，阐述了他们对战后和平世界的愿景。

银行高管称应取消股票印花税

一位银行负责人兼前工党捐赠者表示，预算案应取消股票印花税，以刺激零售投资者的交易。

Secure Trust Bank 的负责人伊恩·考菲尔德（Ian Corfield）表示，该公司面临的“最大挑战之一是试图为股票创造流动性”。

2024 年工党上台后，他担任了五个月的财政部投资总监，但由于其曾作为政党捐赠者的身份被指责为裙带关系而辞职。

在被问及希望在今年秋季的预算案中看到什么时，考菲尔德先生说：“这项业务最大的阻碍是人们在购买股票时必须纳税。”

他将 0.5% 的征税描述为“零售投资者的阻碍”。

被罢免的财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）在 2025 年的预算案中为新上市企业引入了为期三年的印花税假期。但此举未能吸引金融领域一些顶尖的上市潜在对象。

银行软件公司 Thought Machine 的首席执行官保罗·泰勒（Paul Taylor）此前表示，里夫斯的变革“不足以真正改变任何人支持或反对的态度”。她的继任者约翰·希利（John Healey）将面临压力，需要为经济提供亟需的推动力，并在改善市场面临的流动性问题方面采取进一步措施。

考菲尔德先生表示，增加零售投资将是英国财富创造的“关键”。

但随着顶尖公司确认利润激增，银行业也在抵制要求对该行业征收新税的日益高涨的呼声。

活动人士建议，仅从国民西敏寺银行（Natwest）、劳埃德银行（Lloyds）、巴克莱银行（Barclays）和汇丰银行（HSBC）的金库中就可筹集 190亿英镑 的超额利润税。Secure Trust 目前无需缴纳 3% 的公司税银行附加税（该税适用于利润超过 1 亿英镑m 的企业）。考菲尔德先生表示，提高银行税将是“不恰当的”。

他的评论发表之际，在伦敦主市场上市、估值约 3 亿英镑m 的 Secure Trust 公布了今年上半年的利润为 3130 万英镑m，增长 9.4%。其股价在五年内上涨了 19%。

若税收增加，宾果游戏厅可能关闭

Rank 警告称，如果引入建议的加税方案，宾果游戏厅将关闭

Rank Group 的负责人警告称，如果安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）承诺将赌博税提高 4600万英镑，宾果游戏厅将面临风险。

旗下拥有 Mecca Bingo 的首席执行官理查德·哈里斯（Richard Harris）表示：“来自反赌博活动人士的税收提案继续给一个以支持就业为荣的受监管行业笼罩阴影。”Rank 表示，去年支付了超过 2.25 亿英镑m 的税款，并警告政府不要进一步提高赌博业的税收。

社会市场基金会（Social Market Foundation）智库建议，首相可以将老虎机和水果机的税率从 20% 提高到 40%。

哈里斯表示，更高的赌博税将意味着“深受喜爱的宾果游戏厅和赌场将被迫关闭”。

轻松出击

作者：Melissa Jones

汤姆·克洛弗（TOM CLOVER）已批准 Fuel The Jet 代表其著名的青年马队参加周三在约克举行的 Tattersville Acomb Stakes 赛事。

这匹购入价为 €190,000 的马匹为其纽马基特马厩在 7 月 17 日纽伯里新手赛中贡献了 31% 的两岁马胜率。

该赛事在上一赛季由 2025 年欧洲不幸的冠军两岁马 Gewan 赢得，赛程为 Acomb 赛事的七个 the furlongs。

在获得第三名的 Rafe's The Man 在 Glorious Goodwood 赛事中提升了成绩，且获得第七名的 Clive The Writer 随后也赢得比赛后，克洛弗渴望看到 Fuel The Jet 在这场三组赛（Group Three）中能排在什么位置。

“我们认为他值得获得这次机会，”这位驯马师（见右图）表示，在过去两周 17 匹参赛马中取得了 5 场胜利的势头下说道。

“今年的两岁马看起来是一群很棒的马，我们认为它们会继续进步。”

“Fuel The Jet 在过去几个月里发展得很好，他的”

Fuel The Jet 加入约克之队，汤姆信心十足

“训练情况令人鼓舞。”同样参加这次往返 340 英里前往 Sacramento 之行的还有两届冠军 Round The Table，他将参加周三的 Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes，以及 Al Nayyir，他将连续第三年参加周五的二组赛（Group Two）Weatherbys Lonsdale Cup Stakes。

“我热爱在约克赛马，我们很乐意支持‘Ebor 赛事’，”克洛弗补充道。“Al Nayyir 也很喜欢那里，很高兴他能再次参与竞争。”

“我们一直考虑让 Round The Table 参加 Great Voltigeur 赛事——左手方向的一英里半赛程应该适合他，我们认为他质量很高。”

首秀获胜者 Fall 可能再次成功

EVENFALL (4.45 ppi) 被认为能在纽伯里的 Statifolds Watch Weekend Winners EBF Flies' Conditions Stakes 赛事中把握好时机。

乔治·鲍伊（George Boughey）的训练马仅参加过一次比赛，但在雅茅斯（Yarmouth）面对赔率时留下了非常好的印象。

在起跑状态下略显稚嫩。特别是在很快找回节奏并跟上 Airdalees 设定的不错配速后。

第二热门马在赛道上表现出拉伸选择，但她追上了对方，并以领先后续获胜者 Master Man 三分之四马身的优势强势胜出。

Eventall 面临几个有趣的对手，包括 Codolphin 的 Sorrengali，但她拥有多次组赛（Group race）

参赛记录，这表明此次赛事完全在她的能力范围之内。

卡尔·伯克（Karl Burke）对曾参加过一次比赛的 VAZE (4.90.19) 也寄予厚望，因为他已将 AVNOON 安排在下个月纽伯里的二组赛（Group Two）Mill Reef Stakes 中练习。

在约克通过 Cut A Ditch 获得救赎，这匹马随后在 Country 赛事中获得第四名。这匹 Havana Grey 之子自首秀以来经历了 95 天的休整，预计将在多伦多（Toronto）通过该过程进行竞争。

FREE WORLD (8.10, 11p) 本周错过了一场较低级别的比赛，以准备参加纽马基特的 Racing Welfare Apparelers 障碍赛。基于其最近的压倒性成功，他的负重非常理想。

田径：欧洲锦标赛

快速与幽默

金牌得主哈德森-史密斯反击伯明翰盛会批评者

作者：保罗·马丁（PAUL MARTIN） 发自伯明翰

马修·哈德森-史密斯（MATTHEW HUDSON-SMITH）抨击了围绕欧洲锦标赛的“负面情绪”，并呼吁运动员利用自己的影响力来推广这项运动。

这位 31 岁的运动员在伯明翰的主场赛道上，通过爬上本周以他命名的看台，庆祝他赢得个人历史上第三枚男子 400 米金牌的辉煌时刻。

但在亚历山大体育场（Alexander Stadium），在迎接这位本土英雄加冕的时刻，仍有许多空座位，这种情况在整个赛周都时有发生。

组织者坚称他们对门票销售情况感到“欣喜”，整个赛周售出近 200,000 张门票，看台预计将在本周末被填满。

哈德森-史密斯在周三晚上从起跑一直领先至终点，并以 44.17 的成绩夺冠，他表示：“归根结底，我们需要用更快的成绩来推广这项运动。人们来了。人数能更多吗？是的，但我不会抱怨。”

“在电视上，他们的态度非常消极。我们需要更加积极，讨论我们能做什么，而不仅仅是抨击。”

“每个人都想成为足球运动员；在我转战田径之前，我自己也想成为足球运动员。我们需要将其扩展开来。”

哈德森-史密斯在准备阶段将本周描述为他的“伦敦 2012”，并利用每一分当地知识，在单圈比赛中夺得他的第三次个人欧洲冠军。

这是他总共获得的第五枚洲际金牌，他与法国的克里斯托夫·勒梅特（Christophe Lemaitre）并列成为该赛事历史上获得奖牌最多的人，共拥有八枚奖牌。

哈德森-史密斯说：“语言无法表达这对我的意义。在这里没有人能打败我。”

“我熟悉这条赛道，我知道风向，我知道地面情况，我知道工作人员。我知道进入这里的后门。我的出入证可能还留在九岁时用过的洗手间里。”

拉德福德是个战士

橄榄球联盟

作者：丹·汤姆林森（DAN TOMLINSON）

在结束球员生涯十多年后，李·拉德福德（LEE RADFORD）与儿子们一同出战，找回了当年的感觉。

这位 47 岁的苏格兰橄榄球联盟（rugby union）防守教练，代表位于赫尔的迈顿战士队（Myton Warriors）在国家会议联赛（National Conference League）——一项业余橄榄球联盟赛事中对阵莫尔德格林队（Moldgreen）。

这位前赫尔足球俱乐部（Hull FC）和布拉德福德公牛队（Bradford Bulls）的后卫在 32-10 的胜利中攻入一分，并与儿子洛根（Logan）和布拉德（Brad）共同出场，后者被评为全场最佳球员。

拉德福德（右）说：“在半卫位置上比赛是我儿时的梦想。我没能选到比这更热的一天，也没能选到比这更硬的场地，但除此之外，一切都太棒了。”

拉德福德在 6 月份北安普顿队赢得顶级联赛冠军后离开了该队，目前正期待与苏格兰队一起参加世界杯。

“这是一项国民运动，它依赖于国际比赛而繁荣，而橄榄球联盟则依赖于国内比赛而繁荣，”拉德福德补充道。

“我迫不及待想看到未来的发展。”

在充满戏剧性的下午，基利·霍金森（Keely Hodgkinson）在冲击欧洲赛“半大满贯”的道路上保持了领先，而她的主要对手奥德里·韦罗（Audrey Werro）在比赛中摔倒——随后被允许参加决赛。

霍金森在第二场半决赛中以 157.38, 的成绩获胜，顶住了 Femke Broeders' Bol 的压力，晋级今晚的决赛。

休斯（插图）以四百分之一秒的优势领先卫冕冠军 Timothe Mumenthaler。他是场上唯一一名在过去拥有 20 秒以下成绩的选手，在受伤以及在英联邦运动会半决赛阶段出局后，他感觉自己已经恢复状态。

“执行得很好，我完全按照要求做了，”他说。法国办公室和 Jeremiah Azu 在周二晚上的男子 100 米比赛中包揽冠亚军，休斯渴望效仿他们。

罗里在圣裘德的收尾失误令人失望

罗里·麦克罗伊（Rory McIlroy）在孟菲斯举行的联邦快递圣裘德锦标赛首轮比赛中，因末段连续出现柏忌而导致成绩下滑至高于标准杆 4 杆。

这位北爱尔兰人一直希望在进入 PGA 巡回赛季后赛前重建势头，此前他在 4 月成功卫冕大师赛冠军后经历了一段时间令人失望的成绩。麦克罗伊在联邦快递杯积分榜排名第 12，在去年缺席该赛事后，此次在 TPC Southwind 与世界第一斯科蒂·舍夫勒（Scottie Scheffler）被分在同一组。

在第 16 洞的一次失误开球导致麦克罗伊打出柏忌，而他在第 17 洞的第二杆球弹过果岭飞向观众席，使他再丢一杆。在第 18 洞，麦克罗伊的开球落入水池，随后在近杆进攻时距离不足，导致双柏忌，最终成绩为 74。

舍夫勒以低于标准杆 2 杆完赛，而英国选手汤米·弗利特伍德（Tommy Fleetwood）打出 66, 杆，其中包括在第三洞的一次老鹰球。苏格兰选手 Bob MacIntyre 在一场噩梦般的比赛中出现了 4 个双柏忌，成绩为 82。

WOLVES v BOWING FLOWER

布莱克本新援希望在面对其童年俱乐部时反败为胜

伍尔弗汉普顿 对阵 布莱克本

英冠联赛，布里杰斯，天空体育

作者：凯斯·韦伯斯特（KEITH WEBSTER） 萨姆·莫西（SAM MORSY）今晚将回到他的家乡，希望让伍尔弗汉普顿在重返英冠联赛的开局变得糟糕。

这位来自黑乡（Black Country）的男孩在伍尔弗汉普顿的青训营开始了他的职业生涯，随后先后效力于切斯特菲尔德、维冈和伊普斯维奇等俱乐部。

现在，在迎来 35 岁生日的一个月前，这位防守型中场加盟了布莱克本。随着赛季拉开帷幕，布莱克本将沿着 M6 高速公路前往莫利纽球场，对阵上赛季英超联赛垫底的俱乐部。

“我做的第一件事就是查看赛程，看到第一场比赛是对阵伍尔弗汉普顿，这太神奇了，” 8 岁起就在伍尔弗汉普顿起步的莫西说道。“我在那里有过非常好的经历，几年前在伊普斯维奇期间，我们在那里打进了一个绝杀球，所以我有很好的回忆。”

“我在那里的学院待到 16 岁，14 岁时我在那里参加了国家杯决赛并进球。那是很久以前的事了，已经 20 年了！”

“我一直很喜欢去莫利纽球场，我相信这将是一场伟大的比赛。”

“我仍然认识俱乐部里的很多人。那里有非常优秀的人，但周五晚上是关于业务的，目标是拿到积分。”

主教练托尼·莫布雷（Tony Mowbray）仍在

人生教练 莫布雷在签约目标之前会先了解他们

仔细观察这位周一才签约的新援，以确认他是否已经完全进入状态，但他知道自己引进了一位真正具有团队价值的球员。

“球队需要多一点原始的阳刚之气，”莫布雷说道。

“我们需要一个经验丰富的人。我们有肖恩 [麦克劳格林]（Sean [McLoughlin]），有 [亚当] 弗肖（[Adam] Forshaw），我们拥有经验丰富的足球运动员，但我认为我们还需要更多一点，一个更活跃的人。”

“我很确定他很快就会强行进入首发阵容。我没有告诉他既然加盟了，在仅与球队进行两次训练的情况下周五就要首发。他之前一直在 PFA（职业足球运动员协会）训练，所以我们需要获取他的相关数据，但我得说，我对他在球队最初几天的表现非常满意。”

“听他的声音，听他的沟通能力。当他不在你这边时，他会是个麻烦。现在他在我们这边，我希望他能成为其他球队的麻烦。”

莫布雷希望有更多新鲜血液，但他坚持认为买球员不仅仅是支付一笔转会费那么简单。

“我喜欢在签约足球运动员之前与他们交谈，感受他们是否热爱这项运动，是否对俱乐部充满热情，以及他们想要来到布莱克本的原因。”

“在与他们聊天，谈论他们的生活、家庭和抱负之后，再形成自己的看法。”

“对我来说，感受到即将加盟俱乐部的足球运动员的人文一面至关重要。”

出售资产 Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha

莱斯特城所有者欲出售球队

作者：JIM VAN WIJK 据报道，莱斯特城的泰国所有者正寻求出售该俱乐部。

这支曾在 2016 年以令人难忘的方式庆祝夺得英超冠军的“狐狸队”，在本赛季因违反英格兰足球联赛（EFL）的利润与可持续性规则而被扣除 6 分，从而掉入了英甲联赛（League One）。据 BBC 体育报道，莱斯特城目前已委托一家领先的美国投资银行协助寻找买家，该俱乐部的资产估值超过 £2 亿。

莱斯特城拒绝就相关报道发表评论。由 Srivaddhanaprabha 家族经营的泰国所有者 King Power 在 2010 年以 3500 万英镑m 从 Milan Mandaric 手中买下莱斯特城，开启了俱乐部历史上最成功的时代。

在 2018 年其父亲 Vichai 在体育场外的一场直升机事故中去世后，Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha 接任莱斯特城主席。

在经历了上赛季从英冠联赛（Championship）降级后，主席表示他应该为俱乐部的困境承担“责任”，但同时也强调，在新任主教练 Russell Martin（见上图）的带领下，“结构将会发生变化”。

莱斯特城将在周六（12.30pm）客场对阵诺丁汉郡队（Notts County），开启其英甲生活。

没有 罢工

来自萨尔茨堡的 JOHN TOWNLEY 报道 TYRONE MINGS 对 Brian 的心理韧性感到惊叹，因为这位阿斯顿维拉前锋在对阵巴黎圣日耳曼（PSG）的比赛中拒绝放弃。

在周三的超级杯对阵欧冠冠军的比赛中，年仅 17 岁的 浪费了几个机会。

但这个年轻人并没有让挫折击垮自己，而是不断地尝试进攻，直到最终完成一次精彩的近距离抽射，帮助维拉扳平比分。

这位 1 月份从梅斯足球俱乐部（FC Metz）签下的青少年天才，在上赛季下半段经历了一段艰难时期，因为在维拉成功就决定提出上诉之前，FIFA 封锁了他的注册，导致他无法参赛。

在维拉面对 PSG 之前， 在 6 场季前赛中打入了 4 个进球，因此他得到了主教练 Unai Emery 的信任，在竞争激烈的首秀中领衔进攻线，面对 Marquinhos 和 Willian Pacho 这对经验丰富的国际级中后卫组合。

在错失几次机会后，他在后点赢得了一次身体对抗，随后击败了 Matvei Safonov。

“很棒的小伙子，”Mings 说。“显然在能够参赛之前，他必须非常有耐心。这充分说明了他的性格。在心理上，他能够应对挫折。”

“他错过了一些机会，但进了一个可能是其中最难的一个。一个极好的家伙。”

“你可以看到他进球时所有人的反应。这表明他多么值得这个进球，以及我们多么希望他能表现出色。我为他感到高兴。”

“他跟我们一起训练了很长时间。所以当他最终获得出场机会时，他已经准备好比赛了。他熟悉我们的体系。”

“我和他聊过几次。”

“当然，他说他很紧张。他才 17 岁，而且这是一场巨大的比赛。但我告诉他：‘作为一名前锋，你拥有一个绝佳的机会，只要有一个高光时刻，就能改变你的一切。’”

“我很高兴他在错过几次机会后打进了那个球。他是个非常谦逊的孩子。大家都祝他一切顺利，希望他能为我们做出重大贡献。”

当被问及在与 训练期间是否受过伤时，Mings 微笑着说：“他是个大块头！但没有，他的上限很高。他是一个很难对付的对手。”

“我希望他能带着这个进球获得信心，并继续为球队做出贡献。”

不再摇摆不定

福法纳表示稳定性是阿隆索时代的关键

WESLEY CRUSHER 切尔西的强力后卫渴望在阿隆索的带领下开始赢得奖杯

BOBBY VINCENT 发自香港 韦斯利·福法纳（WESLEY FOFANA）避开了香港闷热的高温，正享受着红磡湾凯里酒店凉爽且带有空调的奢华环境。

按照福法纳典型的风格，礼貌的开场客套很快让位于坚定的专注。直接进入正题。

这位 25 岁的后卫（见下方庆祝照片）是一个充满激情的人——他在香港回答的每一个问题都体现了这一点。

他与门将加布里埃尔·斯洛尼纳（Gabriel Slonina）一起，是 BlueCo 在 2022 年成为切尔西所有者后的第一个转会窗口中仅存的两名球员。尽管在球队赢得欧足联欧洲会议联赛和世俱杯时他名在册，但由于受伤错过了这两项赛事。

在切尔西赢得奖杯是他渴望实现的夙愿，但他也认为切尔西需要一段稳定的时期。他觉得，任命哈维·阿隆索（Xabi Alonso）为教练可能是朝着这个方向迈出的一大步。

“对于一名后卫来说，如果你的球队不够好，你就无法表现出色——这取决于团队。这与前锋或 10 号位球员不同，”他说。“但只要我身体健康，我就能发挥水平，帮助球队赢得比赛并争夺冠军。”

“我们现在有一个没有欧冠、没有欧洲赛事的赛季，所以我们可以专注于英超联赛，这很好。我们拥有一支强大的球队，我们可以竞争所有奖项。我们有一位新教练，一位非常优秀的教练，以及非常优秀的教练组。一切都具备了竞争奖项的条件。如果我身体健康且状态良好，我就能提供帮助。”

“大家都知道我们需要稳定性。我们上赛季与董事会讨论过，他们也说了同样的话。他们的想法与球员一致。我们需要稳定性。”

“这位教练是实现这一目标的合适人选。我们是一支年轻的球队，而他曾是一名了不起的球员，所以他了解细节，精通足球。凭借这样的配置，我们可以进步，并足够强大到去争夺一切。”

福法纳在卡拉宝杯半决赛负于阿森纳后因哭泣而遭到嘲讽，那些人无法理解他为何如此情绪化。

但在 2025 年 4 月进行腿后腱手术导致他失去了参加两场决赛的机会后，他极度渴望竞争荣誉。

“我想随俱乐部赢得一座奖杯，因为来到切尔西一直是我的梦想，”他说。“我之前在莱斯特城赢得过冠军，当我来到这里时，我有着很高的抱负。”

“我想赢得一切，现在依然如此。当你输球被淘汰时，而且对手还是阿森纳，当你感觉到你的球队能够有所作为却未能实现时，这很难接受。”

“但现在这一切都过去了。我们迎来了新赛季。我们是切尔西，我们必须尝试赢得一切，每一场比赛，每一项赛事。”

本的理事会任命

本·戴维斯（BEN DAVIES）已被任命为威尔士足球协会理事会成员。

现任“巨龙队”队长戴维斯在去年 10 月成为了第四位获得 100 场国家队出场记录的威尔士球员。

这位 33 岁的托特纳姆热刺后卫（左）的任命，是威尔士足协（FAW）执行其“共同加强未来”（Together Strender for the Future）治理改革的一部分。

此次任命的八名新理事会成员，

其中还包括曼彻斯特城女足助理教练劳伦·史密斯（Lauren Smith），将专门代表威尔士足球中的教练、球员、支持者和年轻人。

威尔士足协首席执行官诺埃尔·穆尼（Noel Mooney）表示：“我们治理改革的目标之一，就是确保帮助塑造威尔士足球未来的人员能够更好地反映我们今天所服务的这项运动。”

“这些任命恰恰实现了这一点。”

作者：亚历克斯·詹姆斯（ALEX JAMES） 杰里米·多库（JEREMY DOKU）在签署了一份直到 2031 年的新合同后，誓言他的巅峰尚未到来。

这位比利时球员（左）还拥有一项 12 个月的续约选项，他继菲尔·福登、约什科·格瓦迪奥尔和阿布杜科迪尔·胡萨诺夫之后，延长了在曼彻斯特城的留队时间。

24 岁的多库在上赛季贡献了 8 个进球以及一系列令人振奋的表现，并在帮助比利时队进入世界杯八强后回到了训练中。

他现在可能会在周日于加的夫对阵阿森纳的社区盾杯比赛中出场。

“我觉得上个赛季是一个不错的赛季，”多库说。“我们赢得了两座奖杯，在英超冠军和欧冠联赛中走得很远。我只想尝试赢得一切。”

“就个人而言，我只想每年做得更好，成长更多。回顾过去，仍然有很多场比赛我本可以进球或助攻。但与前两个赛季相比，我已经有了积极的成长。我仍然是一个未完成的项目。”

措利斯 (TZOLIS)

希腊球星在翼位 接替特罗萨德后 目标直指枪手

作者：汤姆·坎顿 (TOM CANTON) 克里斯托斯·措利斯 (CHRISTOS TZOLIS) 希望在与曼彻斯特城的社区盾杯对决中，以一座奖杯开启他的阿森纳生涯。

这位希腊国脚无缝融入了新俱乐部，在首场五场比赛中贡献了四次进球 / 助攻，并在对阵科莫的比赛中射入了点球大战的制胜球。

在以 £3400 万 的价格转会阿森纳之前，他曾在比利时俱乐部布鲁日提前开始了季前训练，因此这位边锋表现得如此犀利或许并不令人意外。

“我觉得我适应得很好，”他说。“队友们在场上和场下都给了我很多帮助。”

“对我来说，能从一开始就和新球队一起进行季前训练是非常重要的，而且感觉非常好，现在我已经为正式比赛做好了准备。所以我认为对我来说这是一个积极的季前赛。”

措利斯此番加盟是为了接替被贝西克塔斯以约 1700 万英镑m 价格签下的莱安德罗·特罗萨德 (Leandro Trossard)。

这位比利时球员曾是阿森纳的关键球员，在夺冠赛季的收官阶段，他在客场对阵西汉姆联的比赛中打入了可以说本赛季最重要的一球。

围绕着 24 岁的措利斯仍有许多未知数，但对于本周末在加的夫与足总杯冠军的对决，他表达了非常明确的态度。

“这是一个以奖杯开启赛季的好机会，”他说。“这是我们的目标，每个人对这场比赛的看法都一致，我们希望能在场上证明这一点。”

如果周日在加的夫的比赛在 90 分钟后战平，球员们将无需承受加时赛的额外负担，比赛将直接进入点球大战。

这将勾起枪手球员们一些痛苦的回忆，他们可能仍对 6 月份欧冠决赛中以同样方式负于巴黎圣日耳曼感到心痛。

然而，如果以周三与科莫的点球大战中措利斯的射门为准，看来米克尔·阿尔特塔 (Mikel Arteta) 的球队有了一个新的点球手人选。

“事实上，那正是我想要射门的方式，”措利斯在谈到他那记被猛力抽向左侧球网的点球时说道。

“因为我和凯 [哈弗茨] (Kai Havertz) 在中线，他问我，你要射向哪里？我说，‘那里，用力射’，他说，‘我想看看！’”

“我踢得非常好。我就是想这样射门，很高兴球进了，这是一个漂亮的点球。”

足球：英超赛前倒计时

套现：曼彻斯特城中场赖因德斯

沙特球队寻求签下赖因德斯

作者：亚历克斯·詹姆斯 (ALEX JAMES) 曼彻斯特城中场蒂贾尼·赖因德斯 (Tijjani Reijnders) 正与沙特职业联赛俱乐部阿尔卡德西亚 (Al-Qadsiah) 进行高级别谈判，一笔 5000 万英镑 的交易即将达成。

赖因德斯昨天出席了曼城的公开训练课，但并未参与训练，看来他将在离开 AC 米兰一年后离开伊蒂哈德球场。

这位荷兰人在这个夏天吸引了诺丁汉森林的关注，但最终将获得这位 28 岁球员签名的将是阿尔卡德西亚。

如果且当赖因德斯的离队完成时，曼城将寻求增加一名中场，并与切尔西的恩佐·费尔南德斯 (Enzo Fernandez) 产生联系。

但据报道，斯坦福桥俱乐部已为这位 25 岁的阿根廷国脚的报价设定了今天截止的期限。

与此同时，萨维尼奥 (Savinho) 昨天也缺席了训练，不过俱乐部消息人士澄清该边锋是因为生病。

这位 22 岁的巴西人长期受到托特纳姆热刺的关注，有可能以 6000 万英镑m 的价格转会至首都。

维托：斯旺西的赞

汤姆·科尔曼（TOM COLEMAN）报道 维托·马托斯（VITOR MATOS）坚称，尽管赫尔城表现出转会兴趣，但赞·维波特尼克（Zan Vipotnik）很乐意留在斯旺西。

不过，他承认如果俱乐部收到合适的报价，这名 24 岁的前锋可能会离开。

“老虎队”（赫尔城）在本周早些时候发起了一次报价，据了解金额在 1000 万英镑m 左右。该报价被迅速拒绝，这家英冠俱乐部寻求的是该金额的两倍。

而且，就目前情况来看，这家英超球队似乎不太可能带着提高后的报价再次尝试。

斯旺西主帅马托斯表示：“我们非常开心。维皮在我们这里也非常开心。”

“如果合适的报价到来，那么我们会进行沟通。否则，我们将继续前行。”

泰隆·马歇尔（TYRONE MARSHALL）报道 迈克尔·卡里克（MICHAEL CARRICK）在透露新赛季前他希望获得更高的质量和深度后，呼吁其曼联上司在转会窗口期间“继续推进”。

曼联今年夏天在签下卡尔·达洛（Karl Darlow）、安德烈·桑托斯（Andrey Santos）和尤里·蒂莱曼斯（Youri Tielemans）上花费了 8500 万英镑m。

但距离他们完成交易已经过去一个月了，而转会窗口还剩下不到三周的时间。

曼联主教练卡里克希望有更多新面孔加入，左后卫和中前卫在计划之中。他知道他的阵容在本赛季将面临不同方式的考验，因为重返欧冠联赛将对赛程提出更高要求。

尽管他对目前为止的交易感到满意，但他认为还需要做更多工作，才能使阵容达到在本赛季四个赛场上竞争的状态。

“我认为对我们来说，首先我们对引进的球员感到非常高兴，”卡里克说。

“我们提升了团队，在不同方面提升了阵容——平衡、质量以及我们想要前进的方向。”

“我们总是希望进步，我们想要更多，我们需要更多，我们一直在寻找如何实现这一点，所以这永远不会停止。我们意识到了这一点，并且必须继续推进。”

曼联今年夏天的支出少于升级的伊普斯维奇和考文垂，并且被他们的竞争对手掩盖了光芒。

他们是唯一一家没有在一名球员身上花费 1000 万英镑0m 的“六大”球队，而曼城、切尔西和托特纳姆热刺今年夏天都这么做了。利物浦在 2025 年两次支付了该金额，如果他们能签下布拉德利·巴尔科拉（Bradley Barcola），可能会再次这样做。

在老特拉福德，保罗·博格巴（Paul Pogba） 8900 万英镑m 的转会纪录已十年未被打破，另一个节俭的夏天似乎即将到来。

这对卡里克来说是一个挑战，他有赢得冠军的雄心，但必须与那些挥金如土的球队竞争。这位曼联主教练承认，可能会到这样一个时间点

当他们必须打破自己的

拉什福德回归令卡里克兴奋

来自后页

你的职业生涯将超过 10 或 15 年，期间总会有一些时候事情可能会朝着不同的方向发展。

“有起有伏。现在我们作为一个团队处于积极的状态，而马库斯能为我们提供很多帮助。从这个角度来看，这相当令人兴奋。”

拉什福德上赛季在巴塞罗那度过，巴塞罗那拒绝了以 £2600 万 永久签下他的机会，而曼联不想批准另一次租借行动，尤其是租借给

英超竞争对手，这导致了拉什福德本周重新融入球队。

由于卡里克担任主教练，这条道路变得顺畅。他于 1 月份接替了阿莫林，并且与拉什福德有很长的共同历史。

双方都认为这位 28 岁的球员最有可能留队，虽然卡里克准备与这位青训毕业生合作，但他并未保证他会在转会窗结束后继续留在老特拉福德。在某种程度上，拉什福德在 2024 年 12 月最后一次为曼联出场，随后被租借至阿斯顿维拉，现在感觉就像一名新签球员。

卡里克表示：“我们就像对待任何其他进入球队的人一样对待他，显然这里有一个小反转，那就是他对俱乐部的了解程度不亚于任何人。

“我知道他有历史，但我也与许多球员有共同历史，所以这完全不是一个独特的情况，对待他就像对待任何其他球员一样。”

尤里对嘲讽维拉深表歉意

作者：MATTHEW RY

曼联新援尤里·蒂勒曼斯在一次采访中引发愤怒反应后，向阿斯顿维拉的球迷道歉，该采访是在他加盟老特拉福德之后进行的。

这位比利时国脚被问到，在之前两次尝试签下这位中场球员均告失败后，他是否觉得加入曼联的机会已经错过了。

蒂勒曼斯还声称，尽管在阿斯顿维拉取得了惊人的成就，但仍然有比他们更高层级的俱乐部——而曼联就是其中之一。

他还透露，当转会机会

出现时，“如果必须发生，它就会发生”。

这些言论激怒了前俱乐部的一些支持者，他现在通过社交媒体公开道歉。

蒂勒曼斯（见下图）在 Instagram 故事中写道：“我昨天在媒体上的言论绝非意在冒犯任何人，或贬低阿斯顿

维拉足球俱乐部这一机构，我非常尊重该俱乐部，并感谢过去三年里它给予我的帮助。

“然而，我必须承认我的错误，并为我的措辞道歉。我今后会更加小心。

“祝愿俱乐部未来一切顺利。你们的！”

枪手目标：阿尔特塔看重孔萨的多功能性

枪手仍对孔萨感兴趣

来自后页

他是主教练米克尔·阿尔特塔的目标，但目前仍存在一个显著的差距——大约 2000 万英镑m ——即枪手愿意支付的金额与维拉要求的数字之间。

据了解，阿森纳在转会窗早些时候曾进行过口头接触，但最终没有结果。

但枪手从未真正放弃，因为这位多功能的中后卫（也可以担任右后卫）符合阿尔特塔和俱乐部招募人员的多项要求。

他正迅速接近巅峰期且经验极其丰富，刚刚完成了代表英格兰队的第二次重大赛事。

孔萨来自东伦敦的纽汉，被认为对加盟阿森纳持开放态度，尽管他小时候是托特纳姆热刺的支持者。

但据认为，在摩根·罗杰斯和尤里·蒂勒曼斯以总计超过 1.5 亿英镑m 的费用离队后，维拉并没有面临任何紧迫的财务压力去套现，而且他们希望加强而非削弱乌奈·埃梅里执教的阵容。

抢购图恩

针对 Dedic

作者：SEAN McCORMICK

纽卡斯尔联正将目光锁定在波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的右后卫 Amar Dedic 身上。

“喜鹊”在本周早些时候开启了签下这名 23 岁球员的谈判。

Dedic 在加盟本菲卡之前，曾在 RB 萨尔茨堡红牛队效力于新任主帅 Matthias Jaissle 麾下。据称，在寻找边后卫替补的过程中，他是球队监控的多个选项之一。

目前，右后卫 Tino Livramento 和左后卫 Lewis Hall 是仅有的资深边后卫选项。

青少年右后卫 Leo Shahar 已准备好在下周日的赛季揭幕战对阵利物浦的比赛中首发，因为 Livramento 仍在与导致他缺席世界杯的小腿伤势作斗争。

博物馆

据估计，英国大约有 2,500 家博物馆，具体取决于统计范围。

由英国各国家中央政府直接资助的国家博物馆和收藏馆实行免费入场政策。不过，临时展览可能仍会收费。

众多例子中的一个就是约克的国家铁路博物馆，那里改为采取自愿捐款形式。

几乎所有的大学博物馆以及大量地方当局博物馆也实行免费入场政策。

英国遗产 (ENGLISH HERITAGE)

由英国遗产（English Heritage）维护的许多历史遗迹均可免费进入。这意味着您可以免费探索遍布全国的史前古迹、罗马遗址和中世纪城堡。

这些遗迹包括德文郡的利德福德城堡（Lydford Castle）和萨克逊镇（Saxon Town）、肯特郡的恩斯福德城堡（Eynsford Castle）、威尔士边境的克伦城堡（Clun Castle）以及诺森伯兰郡的诺汉城堡（Norham Castle）。

诺森伯兰郡的诺汉城堡可免费参观。

免费节日

夏季期间，全国各地举办了许多免费的当地活动。从夏季园游会到社区活动，这些都是娱乐并支持当地公益事业的绝佳方式。

其中一些规模较大，活动内容涵盖工艺美术到音乐，持续数周。

在伦敦，“国王十字夏季之声”（King's Cross Summer Sounds）活动从现在起一直持续到 8 月 23 日，包括民谣、爵士、灵魂乐、古典乐和独立摇滚音乐及舞蹈表演。

在曼彻斯特，8 月 15 日举行的“黑金艺术”（Black Gold Arts）活动承诺将提供一整天的免费户外艺术和现场表演。

工党的“大英夏季省钱”（Great British Summer Saving）计划于 6 月底启动，旨在缓解家庭的生活成本危机——对餐饮和出游等项目削减增值税（VAT）。

政府将家庭出游的增值税从 20% 降低至 5%——涵盖从电影院和剧院门票到景点门票以及儿童餐——有效期至 9 月 1. 日。财政部表示，目前全英已有超过 2,000 家企业签约，且新企业一直在不断增加。

请访问 summer savings.gov.uk 查看您附近或您计划访问地点的参与者。作为同一公告的一部分，英格兰 15 岁及以下的儿童将在整个 8 月份享受免费巴士出行。

领取福利的家庭

虽然父母可以带孩子参加很多免费活动，但现实是其他活动价格昂贵。对于那些已经在低收入中挣扎的人来说，支付这些费用可能尤其令人畏缩，甚至是不可能的。

然而，如果您领取通用信贷（Universal Credit）或其他福利，全英有许多打折的出游项目，部分门票低至 £1.

符合条件的福利项目因景点而异，因此请务必提前核实，但可能还包括养老金信贷（Pension Credit）、住房补贴（Housing Benefit）、工作税收抵免（Working Tax Credit）、儿童税收抵免（Child Tax Credit）、收入支持（Income Support）、基于收入的就业与支持津贴（Income-based Employment and Support Allowance）、基于收入的求职者津贴（Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance）以及残疾生活津贴（Disability Living Allowance）。

以下是基于慈善机构“基督徒反对贫困”（Christians Against Poverty）研究的一些示例。

太阳 一项支出 增加的 成本 w 但 你的收入 许多 但是

30 小时免费儿童看护

英格兰 9 个月至 4 岁儿童的父母可能有权获得每周 15 至 30 小时的免费儿童看护。这些小时数通常在 38 周内使用，以覆盖学期时间，但您通常可以通过减少每周使用的小时数，将其分散以覆盖学校假期。要获得每周完整的 30 小时，父母双方每人必须赚取相当于每周 16 小时最低工资的收入，但需低于 10 万英镑。三岁和四岁儿童的父母标准可获得每周 15 小时的免费儿童看护，无论他们是否在职。如果您的孩子两岁，如果您申请某些福利，可以获得每周 15 小时。

进行夏季清理

现在可能是清理家居环境并出售任何不需要的物品以换取额外现金用于夏季娱乐的好时机。只要您只是在清理旧物，出售不需要的个人物品通常无需纳税。对于青少年，鼓励他们检查自己的东西，并将不再需要的任何物品出售以换取一些额外的零用钱。如果由父母或法定监护人开设账户、管理财务交易并监督所有活动，18 岁以下的人可以合法使用 Vinted。您必须年满 13 岁或以上才能注册 Depop。

免税儿童看护

免税儿童看护是一项补贴计划，您每存入 £8，政府就会补贴 £2。这笔钱存入一个在线账户，必须用于支付儿童看护费用。如果您符合条件，每名儿童每三个月最多可获得 £500 —— 每年 2,000 英镑。对于残疾儿童，每三个月的最高金额为 1,000 英镑，即每年 4,000 英镑。您的孩子必须在 11 岁或以下才符合条件，如果是残疾儿童则为 16 岁或以下。您需要赚取至少相当于每周 16 小时最低工资的收入，但需低于 10 万英镑。如果您自雇不足 12 个月，则没有最低收入要求。如果您失业但您的伴侣在工作且您申请某些福利，您可能仍然能够开设账户。

更换银行账户

银行会为了让您成为其客户而向您支付费用，目前您通过更换账户最高可获得 £220。您通常需要满足一些繁琐的条件，例如，您可能需要每月向账户中存入一定金额的资金，或设置直接付款（direct debits）。您通常还需要成为一名客户。资格标准在各银行之间有所不同，但以下是一些当前的更换优惠：

汇丰银行 (HSBC) £220 巴克莱银行 (Barclays) £200 国民西敏寺银行 (NatWest) £200 First Direct £175

Nationwide £175 苏格兰银行 (Bank of Scotland) £175 合作银行 (Co-op) 预付 £125，外加三个月每月一份

您可能无法及时拿到这笔更换资金用于夏季消费，因此请将其视为学校开学后的现金补充。更换银行最简单的方法是使用免费的活期账户转换服务 (CASS)，它可以转移您的余额、定期指令、直接付款，并处理旧账户的费用。但请确保新账户适合您，并检查其具备的功能，例如现金返还或透支费用。如果您准备提交大额信用申请（例如抵押贷款），您可能不想在短时间内进行多次更换，因为每次更换申请都会显示在您的信用记录中。

检查您的福利领取资格

近三分之一（31.2%）符合条件的儿童，其父母在孩子一周岁前并未申请领取儿童福利金（Child Benefit）。如果您负责照顾一名 16 岁以下的孩子，或者该孩子仍在经批准的教育或培训阶段且未满 20 岁，您就可以申请领取儿童福利金。第一个孩子的福利金为每周 £27.05，之后每个孩子的福利金为每周 £17.90。如果您或您的伴侣收入超过 6 万英镑，您每多赚 £200，就必须退还 1% 的儿童福利金。一旦您的收入超过 8 万英镑，您需要退还 100% 的儿童福利金。申请儿童福利金的孩子人数没有上限，但如果两个人共同照顾一个孩子，则只有一个人可以申请领取儿童福利金。

在照顾孙辈吗？

在这个夏天介入照顾孙辈的祖父母，可能会申请一项鲜为人知的国家养老金提升。特定成人育儿信用额度（Specified Adult Childcare Credits）可以帮助填补您的国民保险（National Insurance）记录中的空白，该记录用于确定您的国家养老金领取资格。在您照顾孩子时，您必须低于国家养老金领取年龄（目前为 66 岁，但将升至 67 岁），且孩子必须在 12 岁以下，如果孩子有残疾，则为 17 岁以下。孩子的父母需要有资格领取儿童福利金，因为他们将把通常获得的国民保险信用额度转移给祖父母。申请可以追溯到 2011 年。

Konnie Huq 谈《蓝色彼得》（Blue Peter）如何教会她...

更少

极简生活

Konnie 与 Charlie 及其儿子 Covey 和 Huxley

主持《蓝色彼得》（Blue Peter）让这位该儿童节目任职时间最长的女主持人 Konnie Huq 学会了如何以更少的物质获得快乐。Konnie 从 1997 年到 2008 年主持该节目，她与丈夫——《黑镜》创作者 Charlie Brooker（55 岁）育有两个儿子，分别是 Covey（14 岁）和 Huxley（12 岁）。她表示，其中一些采访让她大开眼界。

现年 51 岁的她说道：“我记得很多次去某个村庄，那里的孩子们几乎一无所有，他们甚至想要你的空水瓶。”

“我们有一次采访了一个家庭，用大米和食用油支付报酬。他们想要那个购物袋，因为它耐用且实用。”

“那时我刚大学毕业，这教会了我珍惜一切，不要浪费东西。”

“除非是绝对必需品，否则我不会买任何东西，因为我真的不需要任何东西。”

“这样你就会对已有的东西感到满足，而不是为没有的东西感到悲伤。”

“你可以拥有全世界的社交媒体粉丝，或者所有的金钱，或者任何东西，但如果你不对已经拥有的感到满足，那么你才是真正的失败者。”

“如果你是一个只在米其林星级餐厅用餐的美食家，而无法从一个奶酪三明治中获得快感，那么你的生活中将会有很多不快。”

“你会变成一个令人厌烦、难以取悦的人，别人不想和你在一起。”

“人们对品牌太势利了，而且整体上都很势利。这延续了我们所生活的这种疯狂文化，由于提供的选择过多，这只会加剧[人们的不满]。”

作为寻找免费乐趣计划的一部分，Konnie 在今年夏天与国家艺术慈善机构 Art Fund 合作，开展其第三届年度“Kids Aloud”倡议。

该倡议旨在鼓励家庭利用该国最丰富的免费资源之一：博物馆和美术馆。全国有 60 多家机构参与其中，举办面向所有人的免费活动，以及为持有国家艺术通行证（National Art Pass）的家庭提供免费或半价的额外活动。

此次活动开展之际，一项新研究显示，三分之二（65%）的家长因为担心或尴尬于孩子的噪音或行为，而不敢带孩子去博物馆，尽管数据显示，互动式博物馆参观比看电视更能让孩子保持专注。

Konnie 表示：“这是一个触手可及的免费资源。我知道带吵闹的孩子去安静的博物馆是什么感觉——会觉得很尴尬。”

“我最近带我的孩子去了梵蒂冈。但玩耍是孩子的天性，他们可以在玩耍中学习。”

“即使他们只是在嘲笑米开朗基罗的《大卫》没穿衣服，”Konnie 强调，一旦家长克服了最初的紧张，就会发现一个充满免费娱乐的世界。

她继续说道：“越多的人带孩子去博物馆和美术馆，那里就会变得越常态化，不再那么安静。尴尬感也会随之减轻。”

Konnie 还表示，这是让孩子远离屏幕、投入到全家人都会热爱的事情中的绝佳方式。

在给父母的直接建议中，她说道：“让你的孩子离开屏幕，带他们出去，带他们去博物馆或美术馆。”

“在这个过程中，你们所有人都能学到东西。”

而且通过参观，你将支持英国令人惊叹的文化遗产。

Konnie 补充道：“如果我们停止带孩子去那里，如果我们停止光顾，那么压力会越来越大，资金和资源将会消失。”

“一旦人们不再去图书馆，图书馆就开始关闭。我们不希望博物馆和美术馆也变成那样。”

“去博物馆和美术馆既便宜又方便，在教育和娱乐孩子的同时还能消磨时间。”

“这是暑假期间的双赢之举。”

用“大扫除”赚零花钱的绝佳方式

JLS 组合成员阿斯顿·梅里戈尔德 (Aston Merrygold) 正在鼓励英国父母将孩子的“央求力”转化为一个机会，让孩子们在这个夏天通过劳动赚取零花钱。

身为三个孩子父亲的阿斯顿，38，表示：“让你的孩子赚一些钱去买对他们有价值的东西，无论是糖果还是足球卡。”

“这能教会他们金钱的价值。”

这位演唱过《Beat Again》的歌手与妻子萨拉，42，一名舞者兼编舞师，以及他们的孩子格雷森（8岁）、麦考利（5岁）和赖利（2岁）住在赫特福德郡。他表示，他的大儿子在快满七岁时开始领取零花钱，但格雷森必须通过劳动来换取。

他解释道：“他一起床，我们就会确保他把床铺好。洗完澡后，我们会让他把毛巾捡起来。”

“现在，他会帮我打理花园。或者当我洗车时，他会帮忙。他会全身心投入，因为他知道会有奖励。”

“大活儿我们给他 £1，小活儿少一点。他可以看到钱在慢慢增加。”

“这就是在学习中赚钱。”

NatWest Rooster Money 第 10 届年度零花钱指数显示，零花钱逐年增加，平均每周达到 £9.74。

但现在鼓励孩子们参与“户外大扫除”——像阿斯顿和格雷森那样，走出家门，远离屏幕，去赚他们的零花钱。

阿斯顿说：“我们被手机占据了。因此，任何能够减缓这种情况并鼓励人际互动的途径都是极好的。”

“通过家务，我们可以鼓励孩子走到户外，而不是总是蜷缩在屏幕前。这是与自然接触，消耗能量，让想象力主导。”

“我并不是完全反对屏幕。但与此同时，我们必须保持平衡。”

格雷森对这个安排非常满意。

他说：“户外家务更好，因为你可以呼吸新鲜空气，而且做这些活儿能赚更多零花钱。上次我洗车的时候把爸爸弄湿了，然后我们打了一场水仗！”

“零花钱教会你，如果你想要某样东西，就意味着你必须为此工作。而且你学会了储蓄，而不是一次性花光。”

“我用我的零花钱买电子游戏或去商店。有时我会攒钱——我现在实际上有 £10！爸爸说我可以把它花在我想买的东西上，因为这是我赚来的。”

单身母亲如何应对生活成本危机

与个人理财专家林恩·比蒂（Lynn Beattie）——即 Mummypenny 夫人对话

曾以为婚姻是终身之约，直到它不再是。我的离婚手续在 2020 年办结，我成为了家庭住宅的唯一所有者，在离婚协议中买断前夫的份额后，承担了额外的一大块抵押贷款。三个男孩的单身母亲生活就这样开始了。

六年后的今天，我依然住在同一栋房子里，但目前正在出售房产，以减轻每月开支的压力。我曾以为自己能找到一段理想的新感情。但这种乐观的想法并未实现，我依然是家里唯一的收入来源。我的儿子们现在都成了青少年，分别是 18、16 和 13 岁。

这是我人生中最艰难的时期之一，无论是在情感上还是财务上。离婚带来的后果对每个人来说都是一项挑战。

在过去的六年里，每个人都通过一些心理治疗来处理这些问题。真正的挣扎在于不断上涨的账单：由于利率上升，每月抵押贷款增加了 £400；而由于持续的生活成本危机，食品、能源、汽油和各项杂费每月又增加了 £400。

单身母亲税：每三个月进行一次这些检查

我的收入刚好高出一点，导致无法申请许多福利（除了部分儿童福利），但请务必确保你申请了所有可能申请到的项目。

我每月 3,000 英镑 的账单 / 成本全部由我一个人承担，而不是与伴侣分担。

账单被严格管理，我每三个月审查一次所有的直接借记（direct debits），以确保取消任何不再需要的内容。并且我会检查是否选择了最佳供应商，并更换我的能源、宽带、保险和手机服务。食品来自 Aldi，外卖则极少。

单身母亲生活

是的，单身母亲的生活有其挑战，但我是否后悔结束那段婚姻？绝不。我热爱单身母亲生活的一点是，我可以独立做出所有决定，没有人会反对。我为自己的成就以及成为一个繁忙家庭唯一养家之人的身份感到自豪。林恩·比蒂（Lynn Beattie）是一位个人理财专家，又名 Mummypenny 夫人。@mrsmummypennyuk

对孩子坦诚

我一直与孩子们就所有事情进行公开且坦诚的交流。作为单亲家长，这一点尤为重要。

他们需要知道家庭账单的成本、资金紧张的情况以及学会拒绝的重要性。这能确保他们不会提出不合理的金钱要求。

这也是准备他们进入成年生活的关键知识，因为届时他们需要自己支付同样的账单。

意识到何时需要改变财务状况

在离婚时，我们往往非常重视保留房产。这与为孩子们维持一个稳定且一致的家所关联的情感有关。但事实证明，这往往是一个昂贵的决定。

也许在利率较低时，抵押贷款是负担得起的，但现在利率较高，重新办理抵押贷款每月往往要多花数百英镑。意识到这一点并选择“在山坡上退后几步”——缩小住房规模或搬到更便宜的地区——并不丢人。

这正是我正在做的事情。我正在出售离婚时保留的房子，搬到稍微偏北的一个较小的住所，但依然靠近孩子们的学校和生活圈。

我的抵押贷款成本将大幅降低，这将给我一个机会，通过释放部分房屋净值来偿还部分债务。

家务劳动

男孩们一直承担着家务责任，包括洗碗和保持自己房间的整洁。对于帮我处理较大的工作（那些我不喜欢做的事），比如给车道除草或整理花园，我会给他们零用钱。我想，我培养出了坚韧的男孩，他们已经为成年生活做好了准备，完全能够胜任家务劳动和财务管理。

共处时光的重要性

那些坦诚的对话通常发生在散步或开车的时候。

与青少年的最佳对话似乎发生在你们没有面对面的时候。我们抽出时间聊任何事情，他们觉得和我分享大多数事情很舒服，同样地，我也和他们分享很多。我们还一起做运动，比如网球和板式网球（padel）。做他们热爱的事情，他们就会热爱与你共处。

应急基金的重要性

我一直要求自己并鼓励我的 Mummypenny 夫人关注者尽可能多地向应急基金储蓄。这是一笔用于应急的资金，比如汽车需要修理、更换新洗衣机，是真正的紧急情况，而不是为了度假！

Fury as 13 water companies allowed to raise bills again despite poor performance

DON'T HAND OUT

'REWARDS FOR THEIR FAILURE'

HOUSEHOLDS are facing an unexpected hike in their water bills with the utility firms accused of being rewarded for failure and extorting customers.

Watchdog Ofwat has given an initial nod to 13 suppliers inflating prices to cover an extra £3.4billion in spending. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said:

BY STEPH SPYRO Environment Editor

"Brits thoroughly fed up with poor service and sewage spills from their water providers will be furious about this latest reward for failure."

Debt-laden Thames Water is one of five firms likely to be allowed to increase bills from next year through

to 2030, alongside Severn Trent Water, Southern Water, Wessex Water and South East Water.

Around 27 million people have water restrictions as billions of litres leak from old pipes each day – a problem that can worsen as dry soil causes the ground to shift.

Metsa reach

for the flight

of their lives

DOESN'T time fly for these wartime warriors? Fearless Second World War veterans Paul Terry, Alfred Cooley and Ivan Staines – combined age 300 – reached for the skies during a bucket-last Spitfire flight.

The heroes were treated to the wonderful white-knuckle ride as a thank you for their service and sacrifice.

It was made possible thanks to a thrill-seeking fund set up by The Taxi Charity for Military Veterans, to honour the greatest generation with unforgettable experiences.

And for D-Day veteran Paul, 101, one of three brothers who served during the war, the flight was a much-needed pick-me-up.

Paul, from Pevensey Bay, near Eastbourne, East Sussex, was full-time carer to his beloved wife Dorothy, 87, who died on August 5. His flight was made in her memory.

He said: "I like to keep busy and I just keep going. I've still got all my faculties

BY GILES SHELDRICK Chef Reporter

– well, maybe one or two less after that flight – but what a buzz that was. That one was for my Dorothy – she would have loved that."

In June, Paul – who has received France's prestigious Legion of Honour – returned with the Express to Sword Beach, in Normandy, to the same spot he landed in 1944. It was the first time he

Patrol

had returned in 82 years.

He was nearly killed when he was blown up by a German shell while in a trench in Nazi-occupied Holland, suffering catastrophic leg injuries.

He was medically discharged from the Army but was so determined to serve he later rejoined as a reservist.

The three veterans flew side by side on the breathtaking coastal patrol, retracing the wartime flight of Spitfires scrambled

from Biggin Hill, in Kent, to intercept Luftwaffe bombers. Alfred, 100, from Eastbourne, signed up the day before D-Day, and after just eight weeks of training and aged just 18, he landed in liberated France, moving through Belgium and advancing across the Netherlands.

In June he joined the Express on a D-Day pilgrimage to Hermanville War Cemetery, near Caen, to see the final resting place of his regimental mates. Of the Spitfire treat, he said: "I loved every single second of that flight."

Ivan, 99, from Maldon, Essex, enlisted with the Home Guard in 1942 when he was 16 and was called up at 18 to serve in Nazi-occupied Europe.

As Ivan soared into the blue, little Alfie Rose, five, roared with delight and saluted his great-grandfather.

Also cheering them on was RAF legend Flight Lieutenant Colin Bell, 105, who flew Mosquito bombers over Germany during the war.

Ivan said of the Taxi Charity: "It has changed my life. If you had asked me two years ago what I would be doing now, I would never have believed I would have had the experiences it has offered me."

The dream-come-true day was made possible by Fly A Spitfire and the efforts of Taxi Charity ambassador Johnny Gallagher, 31, who first started fundraising so the charity could continue to take heroes to honour their fallen pals.

After the Express won a government guarantee that the cost of all future trips would be met, fighting fund cash is now being used to make dreams come true.

Mr Gallagher said: "I hope this inspires more people from my generation to take an interest.

"I want my generation to understand and respect what these incredible men and women did for us. Their sacrifices secured our freedom

to fix the water industry we need stronger regulation to stop water companies racking up huge debts, better management by the regulator, and long-term infrastructure investment. Andy Burnham's solution is nationalisation. But putting politicians in charge won't magic up more money, lower bills or improve the infrastructure, it will just leave taxpayers on the hook for billions of pounds."

Ofwat has already allowed water firms to put up bills by 36% between 2025 and 2030.

Eight others – Anglian Water, Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, Hafren Dyfrdwy, Northumbrian Water, South West Water, United Utilities, Yorkshire Water and SES Water – also got the green light to charge customers more after 2030.

The businesses argued for more cash to improve infrastructure and water quality and keep up with rising demand from housebuilding.

Clean water campaigner Feargal Sharkey said: "They perpetuate this myth that it's the shareholders and the other companies making this investment. No it's not.

penny of it – so why do we need the shareholders anyway?"

Turning to the watchdog, he added: "Ofwat accelerates incompetence to new levels of the stratosphere by now demanding and ensuring that water companies' customers are held to ransom...

"Forced to continue to pay for their own exploitation and allowing yet more greed and incompetence to permeate what remains of the environment and our water system."

Prime Minister Mr Burnham also criticised Ofwat's draft decision.

He said: "I understand why people are angry – I am too.

"The truth is customers have been asked to pay more for years, yet serious pollution incidents are at record levels and the pipes are still leaking.

"None of which is the billpayers' fault, who should not be treated as a bottomless source of funding for other people's failures.

COMMENT

DR NEIL HUDSON

Shadow Environment Minister and Conservative MP for Epping Forest

HARD-WORKING families are paying higher taxes and higher bills thanks to Labour's flawed policies and mismanagement of our economy.

So it's especially unwelcome news that water bills are set to go up again across large swathes of the country. It's especially tough in these drought conditions when many households are facing unacceptable critical water outages and many parts of the country face hosepipe bans. Now households are hearing their charges are going to rise.

A hike of a staggering 36% has already been green lit for 2025-2030 by the water regulator.

And now there is more to come. Andy Burnham has complained about the situation saying he is "angry" and customers "cannot be treated as a blank cheque". But so far he hasn't done anything.

Mr Burnham is not a commentator now, he is the Prime Minister. It is particularly alarming that Thames Water – Britain's biggest water supplier, laden with £20billion of debt, is getting approval to put prices up further.

It is widely known Mr Burnham favours nationalisation as a solution. But nationalising water companies would cost the taxpayer billions and would mean even higher water prices – or yet more tax rises. Meanwhile, in the last week in my constituency of Epping Forest, thousands of homes have been without water for days due to burst pipes and failing infrastructure.

Distressed

Homes without water, people not able to flush toilets or bathe, parents not having water to make up bottles for babies, livestock owners panicking over getting water to animals. Thames Water have not provided enough emergency water collection points and vulnerable people are distressed.

Ofwat cannot keep approving big price rises forever. There needs to be a genuine long-term plan for how to deliver better, more reliable water supplies at prices that families can afford.

Labour have not produced that, and if they go down the nationalisation route they will fail.

A well-functioning, properly-regulated water system out of public ownership is achievable if there is the political will to make it happen. Water companies must not be able to rack up huge debts.

We Conservatives tabled amendments to the Water Special Measures Act to stop water companies doing this, but Labour voted against them.

We began the crucial reform to ensure, in the long-term, Britain's water system is clean and sustainable. It requires billions of pounds of private investment if bill payers are to be protected.

Labour should focus on delivering that, rather than flirting with ideological projects like nationalisation that would deliver more expensive outcomes for families.

Customers cannot be treated as a blank cheque.

"Where water companies seek to pass unnecessary costs on to households, they will be challenged. Our water industry has clearly not been working for people for far too long. This government will be looking at how we can give the public more control and help keep bills as low as possible."

Thames Water – Britain's biggest supplier with around 16 million customers – is on the brink of col-

Homes burn as golf course fire reaps to a residential level while top temperatures hit 38.1C yesterday

RESIDENTS fled from burning homes yesterday as wildfires broke out on the hottest day of the year.

A blaze leapt from a golf course into a residential neighbourhood as temperatures soared as high as 38.1C in a country already parched by almost two months of blistering hot sunshine and no rain.

A child and three firefighters were taken to hospital after the fire ripped through houses in Stourbridge, West Mids, and residents were evacuated. A further six people were treated for smoke inhalation.

The blaze started as a grass fire before escalating into one of several major blazes

to hit the region and elsewhere as the scorching weather continued.

A peak of 38.1C was recorded at Kew Gardens in West London, passing this year's previous high of 38C set on June 28 at Lingwood in Norfolk.

The Met Office said yesterday was the fifth-hottest day on record for the UK.

It is the second time that the country has hit at least 38C twice in one year – it last happened in 2022.

Around 60 firefighters were tackling the Stourbridge blaze as ash rained from the

to the government for a drought order. This would allow it to ban commercial organisations from some activities like washing cars and windows with hosepipes or filling swimming pools.

Ofwat's controversial announcement follows a three-month review of funding requests from the 13 firms for £4.3billion.

Fairman, River Action's head of campaigns, said: "Ofwat waving through yet more water bill hikes is an insult.

"For 30 years, where was the investment in our crumbling water infrastructure?

"Tens of billions went to investors while essential water and sewage works were neglected. We got leaks, pollution and soaring bills.

"The Prime Minister wants greater public control of water companies. Now is the time to act."

sky and smoke choked the air while an estimated 40 acres of parched land burned.

Several roads were closed as the fire service urged people to stay away. The town hall was set up as a rescue centre for those who had to flee their homes.

A major incident was declared due to a fire in the village of Salford Priors, near Stratford-upon-Avon, while fires also raged in Sandyford, Stoke, and in Pershore, Worcs. The M6 northbound close to Birmingham was shut between junction 5 and 6 due to smoke from nearby wildfires.

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service responded to over 30 wildfires yesterday.

Cat Hobbs, of public ownership campaigners We Own It, said: "While private water bosses are paying themselves huge bonuses disguised as 'signing-on payments', what do customers get? Hosepipe bans during a heatwave. And now even higher bills.

"If Andy Burnham is serious about taking on the rising costs of living, these proposed water bill increases must be blocked.

"Privatisation was supposed to bring about private investment.

What this shows is that every penny of investment in our water infrastructure comes from our bills, not from investors.

"If water companies cannot invest without raising our bills, they should be allowed to go bust and then taken into public ownership. The public has had enough of the rising bills, service cuts, hosepipe bans and sewage dumping.

"It is time for water to be taken into public ownership like 90% of the world." Water UK, which rep-

resents suppliers, said: "This summer's drought has shown exactly why new investment is so vital.

"This expenditure will help to safeguard services, unlock new homes and business growth, and replace ageing infrastructure.

"For most customers there will be no immediate impact on bills.

"Where bills will rise, we recognise any increase is difficult and help is available for anyone struggling to pay."

Helen Campbell, from Ofwat,

said: "The newly agreed funding will help unlock much-needed new housing development and boost business growth across a range of sectors, as well as improving drinking water quality and the removal of forever chemicals.

"We will track performance to ensure companies are delivering the expected improvements for customers and the environment.

"If they don't, expenditure can be clawed back."

Heat triggers record 2.5m visits to A&E

BY HANNA GEISSLER

HEATWAVES contributed to record demand and "agonising delays" in A&E departments last month, NHS figures show.

It was the worst July on record for 12-hour waits, with more than 150,000 patients in the queue for over half a day, the Royal College of Emergency Medicine said.

Some 47,000 also waited for more than 12 hours on a trolley from the decision to admit them until a ward bed could be found.

Dr Sarah Scobie, deputy director of research at the Nuffield Trust think tank, said multiple heatwaves meant there was "little respite for the NHS this summer".

She added: "In July, there were a record 2.5 million A&E attendances, representing a huge amount of pressure for staff and uncomfortable waits for patients. The extra strain from soaring temperatures is piled on top of already stretched A&Es."

Dr Ragit Varia, president-elect of the Society for Acute Medicine, said: "From permawinter to permaheat, there is no longer a quiet season for the NHS."

Health Secretary Yvette Cooper warned: "We must start planning for summer pressures in the NHS in the same way we do for winter."

But RCEM vice president Dr Russell Duncan said congestion was often caused by poor flow through the hospital and social care system.

Chancellor John Healey

PM urged to get a grip on growth amid fallout of war

BY DAVID WILLIAMSON

ANDY Burnham has been told to take urgent action to rescue Britain's economy and save jobs with the Treasury's experts warning growth could be just 0.3% next year.

Growth of 1.6% had been forecast for 2027 but officials said the country will suffer disruption if the Iran crisis continues.

Conservatives claim Labour's "speed, tax and borrow addiction" has left Britain vulnerable to overseas shocks.

The latest quarterly figures show gross domestic product rose by 0.4% between April and June. Low but better-than-forecast growth of 0.3% in June is linked to hospitality and leisure firms getting a boost from the World Cup and sunny weather.

Emergency

Mr Burnham's Government is being urged to give the green light to nuclear, oil and gas projects in the UK and to U-turn on taxes blamed for making it harder for employers to give people jobs.

Treasury modelling presented to the Prime Minister and Chancellor John Healey shows the economy could grow by just 0.9% this year if no permanent peace deal is secured to end the Iran conflict. This is less than the 1.1% forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility.

In this extreme scenario, inflation could peak at 4.3% in the first quarter of next year.

Fred de Fossard, director of strategy at the Prosperity Institute, warned: "The Prime Minister should take urgent measures to cut energy costs, business overheads, and get the labour market moving.

"He should do an emergency package of policies to approve more extraction of Britain's North Sea oil and gas and speed up the approval and building of new nuclear power."

Two seriously hurt after train derail sun heat

Passengers clambered out of the overturned carriages

TWO people were seriously injured after a train with 150 on board derailed in East Sussex as a major incident was declared.

At least three carriages overturned in the crash near Lewes railway station which left nine others with less serious injuries.

Passengers could be seen standing on top of the overturned carriages as initial reports suggested as many as 40 passengers were trapped inside.

Images appeared to show a significantly bowed section of track beyond the site of the crash which came on the hottest day of the year.

Responders raced to the scene, including three emergency helicopters. Several rail routes were disrupted, with passengers warned of major delays.

Those on board described the "terrifying" incident.

Yana Ludwig, 56, from Washington State in the US, said she heard a loud bang before being thrown from her seat. She said: "It was completely

BY BARRY KEEVINS and ALLISTER HAGGER

terrifying. I was coming back from London and Lewes is my stop.

"There was a banging noise and everything went topsy turvy.

"There was lots of shaking, it felt like a really long time but it was probably only about 10 seconds.

"I landed on top of somebody. I'm just glad nobody was killed. This is one of those moments when people pull together, which is good."

Rob Bradley, who was on the train with his six-year-old daughter Mabel, told the BBC: "It was pandemonium.

"I could feel the carriage rocking, then it jumped.

"The emergency brakes slammed on and everyone got thrown forward."

Charlie Hobden, 31, from Lewes, who was also on the train told the BBC it "felt like a sliding snake", adding: "We went over and we were dragging along the floor. We tried to open the doors and then we saw

people standing on top of the train. We managed to get out on our own. Others waited and got on ladders to get out. Then the emergency services helped us. I didn't have any injuries, so I was allowed to go home."

The derailed train was the 14:24 service from London Victoria to Eastbourne. The three rear carriages of the eight-carriage train left the tracks at around 15:50 between Cooksbridge and Lewes.

Buckled

Former Lewes MP and transport minister Norman Baker suggested the train may have derailed because of a "landslide" or "due to rails buckling in the heat".

He told Times Radio: "They'll want to make sure that the railways are completely safe before any trains are allowed back on them.

"And if it has been the case – that the rails have buckled – that will take considerably longer to repair." The

Rail Accident Investigation Branch said it had sent a team to Lewes.

The derailment was described as "a very serious and developing incident" by a local MP.

James MacCleary, the Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes, wrote in a Facebook post: "I am aware of very concerning reports of a train crash in the Lewes area.

"I am in touch with the relevant authorities now and will provide further updates as soon as I have more information.

"This is clearly a very serious and developing incident and my thoughts are with everyone affected.

"In the meantime, if you are concerned about someone or need urgent assistance, please contact the emergency services."

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said she was "deeply concerned" after being informed about the derailment.

PASSENGERS STAND ON CARRIAGES

6pm. Local resident Oriana Evans said she and her son helped casualties who were led off the train towards the community centre at Lewes.

She showed them where to go, including some passengers who were on holiday.

Ms Evans, 54, a jewellery maker, said: "I walked and chatted to some of them, in shock really.

"They were in the carriages that rolled over."

She said they told her they were all right but "really bruised".

Other residents could be seen outside of their homes in front of lines of emergency service vehicles and walking down to the community hub carrying chairs for casualties to sit on.

A bus was parked up by the hub waiting for passengers to board.

There were also taxis and one passenger could be seen being taken away in an ambulance.

Shaking with shock, a dad of two told how he saw warning signs about

problems with the track before the train derailed.

Liton Miah, who is from Eastbourne, says he was taking his wife and daughters to see relatives when the train overturned near Lewes.

He suffered heavy bruising to his side. Mr Miah said: "I saw on the big board there was a problem with the track. I don't know why they didn't take any precautions."

Significant

The last of the passengers rescued from the overturned train were flown out on a fleet of air ambulances at around 6pm.

The remaining train casualties were ferried home in taxis or taken to hospital by ambulance.

The South East Coast Ambulance Service said: "There were approximately 150 people on board at the time of the incident.

"At this stage, we can confirm

that two of the patients have sustained serious injuries and a further nine patients have sustained less serious injuries."

Patients were assessed and treated at the scene, it said, with some transported to local hospitals for further treatment.

British Transport Police confirmed that a major incident was declared following the incident.

Assistant Chief Constable Ian Drummond-Smith of the BTP said: "We have declared a major incident and a significant emergency service response is ongoing at the scene.

"But all passengers on the train have now been safely evacuated from the service.

"Our thoughts are, of course, with everyone affected.

"I'd like to reassure the public that we're supporting the Rail Accident Investigation Branch to establish exactly what's happened.

"We will provide further information as soon as we are able."

THE DUKE and Duchess of Edinburgh's son James is off to study rural land management after a stint as a Sandringham farmhand this summer.

James, 18, got the grades required for the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester, Glos. Buckingham Palace did not reveal his results but he would have needed at least a B, C and C.

Edward and Sophie's son, who does not use his royal title Earl of Wessex, went to Radley College, an independent boarding school in Oxfordshire.

He is currently working long hours driving tractors. James and his sister Louise, 22 – who is on a gap year – have been raised knowing they must get jobs and earn a living.

Boys pull further away as top grades rise for third year

BY ALLISTER HAGGER

BOYS extended their lead over girls to grab more top grades in a record year for A-level results, with the total number of highest grades rising for the third year in a row.

Almost 350,000 teenagers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland received their exam results yesterday as many found out if they would progress to university, an apprenticeship or work.

School leavers accepted on to university degree courses hit a new high, following a record number of A-level entries this year.

There were higher top grades overall and boys outperformed girls in entries getting grade A or above for the second year running, results released yesterday showed.

The success for boys was thought to have been driven by the uptake in Stem subjects such as maths – the most popular subject for the 13th year in a row.

Overall, the proportion of A-level entries awarded top grades rose for the third consecutive year.

The trend may raise questions about creeping "grade inflation" – with As and Bs becoming the average or standard mark.

But this was denied by exam board chiefs.

Vocational

More students took A-levels this year, with entries topping 900,000 for the first time, reflecting an increase in the population of 18-year-olds.

More than a quarter (28.5%) of entries were awarded an A or A*, up by 0.2% on last year.

The proportion of entries awarded the top A* grade also rose, by 0.2% to 9.6%, compared to 9.4% in 2025, and it is higher than when it stood at 7.7% in 2019.

The head of exams regulator Ofqual said the "sheer size" of maths impacts the overall data for England. On top grades rising, Sir Ian Bauckham insisted: "A-levels are trusted because they are awarded to rigorous and consistent national standards.

"Universities, employers and students can have confidence that an A-level grade represents what students know and can do.

"Vocational and technical qualifications are equally important."

In terms of maths uptake, there was a clear gender divide, with more boys choosing the subject.

There were 72,619 boys' entries, making up 63% of the total,

A OR A* GRADE A-LEVELS BY LOCAL AUTHORITY SUMMER 2026

PA graphic Source Ofqual

compared to 42,761 for girls' (37%). Boys outperformed girls in terms of top grades again, after doing so for the first time in seven years last year.

Overall, 28.9% of boys' A-level entries scored an A* or A, compared to 28% of their female peers – a gap of 0.9%.

Sir Ian said it was "plausible to suggest" job prospects are influencing the choices students make in terms of what they study.

He added: "Maths is the obvious one, further maths is another one, economics, law. These are all subjects that have a very strong vocational flavour or are proven to be

linked to higher earning potential, and in students' minds will be associated with the trends we're seeing in the economy." Lee Elliot Major,

professor of social mobility at Exeter University, said: "More than ever, young people are asking a simple question: where will the

opportunities be? In a world of rising living costs, student debt and AI, they want confidence that their investment of time and money will lead to

a fulfilling and secure career." The overall pass rate – the proportion of entries graded A* to E – has remained at 97.5%, which is lower than the

pre-pandemic year of 2019 (97.6%). A total of 262,820 18-year-olds gained a place at university or college on results day – up 3% on 2025, according to data from Ucas, the university admissions service.

The chief executive of the Russell Group, which represents some of the most selective universities, said it shows students continue to recognise the benefits of higher education.

Libby Hackett said: "With an ever-growing spotlight on the value of higher education and the shifting job market, it's hugely encouraging to see so many young people opting for university again this year."

Scotland has a different qualification system and students received their results on Tuesday last week.

Maths marvel, 12, is an A* superstar

BY ERIN BOTTEN

A 12-YEAR-OLD who could "count before he could speak" has got an A* in A-level maths.

Dominic Pugaciauskas, a pupil at Solihull School, completed it in a year, scoring 100% in one of his papers.

He sat his maths GCSE last year, achieving a grade 9.

Dominic, who is also a huge chess fan, said: "I feel really proud of myself, to be honest.

"I feel like I've worked hard and that it was a deserved result for me."

His mother, Tanya Nikitina, said Dominic had been aiming to score a high grade, and the family were overwhelmed when they saw his result.

Happiness

She said: "Opening the paper and checking the result, there was a great sense of happiness and a great sense of being proud of him."

Ms Nikitina added her son had studied maths because he enjoyed it and "found a pleasure solving difficult problems".

Dominic's father, Rimas Pugaciauskas, said: "It's well deserved, he studied so hard."

Ms Nikitina said Dominic has enjoyed problem-solving from a young age.

She said: "I think he was born

a mathematician. He showed interest in maths from the age of two. I think he started counting before he started to speak."

Dominic studied for his A-level with Solihull School's sixth-formers but did not let that intimidate him.

He said: "It wasn't really a frightening experience. It was a friendly class."

Dominic is now preparing to take part in national maths competitions in October and studying for his further maths A-level.

He said he does not know what he wants to do when he grows up but added he "would probably expect" to go to Oxford or Cambridge.

Aero dream fulfils late mother's wish

A TEENAGER is following the path his late mother hoped he would take after securing a place to study aeronautical and aerospace engineering.

Abdullah Mahmood, 18, from Bradford, achieved an A in maths, A in further maths, A in physics and A in computer science despite his mother's death at the beginning of the final year of his A-level studies.

The Bradford Grammar School pupil, inset, who has won a place at Leeds University, said: "My mother encouraged me to follow my passion.

"She valued education and encouraged me to work hard.

"She propagated the notion that knowledge is power and wanted me to work towards my goal of becoming an aeronautical engineer.

"I'm happy with my results, especially the two A*s. All the hard work has paid off and I'm

excited to be going to Leeds." His father, Sajid, said: "I'm very happy for him, especially as I was worried about him being here without his mum.

"He has done so well." Abdullah – whose mother Misbah was a maths teacher – joined the independent school's sixth form on an assisted place. Headmaster Dr Simon Hinchliffe said that he represented the best of the school.

He added: "To achieve excellent academic results while showing such dignity, maturity and quiet strength is remarkable. Misbah's influence as a dedicated teacher and mother is clearly reflected in Abdullah's work ethic and humility. We're immensely proud of him and know he has a bright future ahead in aeronautical engineering."

While talk of Cheshire-raised Andy being “King of the North” meets with inevitable contempt in Scotland, party comrades concede that folk in more northern parts of England – often Reform UK targets – have wasted no time making their feelings clear. “Try telling voters in the North East or Cumbria that Manchester’s in the North,” I’m reminded. “They consider it the North Midlands at best.”

“This lady doesn’t take payment and only asks for christian names.

My sister-in-law’s christian name was the one she had for the appointment,” a normally sceptical Martin clarifies.

After “Alexander” apparently made his presence felt, Clunes – who was in Australia at the time – insists: “It was my dad coming through saying he was ‘really proud of me’ and he ‘really wished he’d been a grandfather to Emily’ [Martin and Philippa’s daughter]. All this wonderful stuff.”

'The future is completely unknown right now'

WITH music pumping at 1am in Ibiza, few clubbers will have been aware of Nicole Kidman dancing beside them in a dark wig and glasses this summer.

The Oscar winner, 59, has revealed she has been partying and embracing love in the wake of her split from Keith Urban, 58, last year.

Nicole said it has not been the easiest year since she filed for divorce last September.

But she said: "At the same time I'm like, 'OK, I didn't expect this. I had a different view of what my life was going to be, but this is what it is now.' You make all these plans and you have all these ideas of what it's all going to be like and then it's... not. You have to adjust. You adapt. The future is completely unknown right now... Strange.

"There was a point where I was very fearful and deeply vulnerable, which is exposing. At the same time I'm going, 'I can either really not confront it and curl up, or I can just go forward with an enormous amount of hope.

In the Vogue interview, she also spoke about her 10-year first marriage to Tom Cruise, 64, which ended in 2000. They have adopted children, Bella, 33, and Connor, 31.

She said: "I got married so young. Suddenly I was 22, 23 years old and I had this huge movie star husband. It just seemed completely natural. We just fell madly in love."

Nicole has spent her summer bouncing between Paris, London, Portofino and Ibiza, where her nights out either end in Scrabble - or a rave. She said: "Dinner at 10.30pm, club at 1am. I'll put on glasses. Sometimes I'll wear a wig to hide, then I can just dance. As long as I'm surrounded by people - I take people - then I'm fine. I need it."

Water watchdog leaves a foul taste over bills

LONG-SUFFERING customers have known for some time that water supply companies are a complete and utter shower. We can now add the regulator to the list. The drips at Ofwat – the quango that is supposed to rein in the largely lawless privatised water and sewerage industry – have provisionally given the green light to 13 providers in England and Wales to ramp up bills. The timing could not be more insulting.

As Britain struggles without rain and after a ruinous winter plagued by supply issues, the watchdog looks set to allow firms already making eye-watering sums from substandard services to clobber millions of households with hefty demands.

To add insult to injury, Thames Water is among the first five businesses allowed to raise prices between 2027 and 2030, alongside Severn Trent Water, Southern Water, Wessex Water and South East Water.

Ramping up bills is, says Ofwat, necessary to fund infrastructure to cope with new housing developments and data centres in a depressing and damning indictment of life in modern Britain.

Families who have already been forced to cough up for inflation-busting bills will rightly ask how a perennially failing industry can be rewarded at a time of historically low performance with pollution and leaks almost daily occurrences.

Ofwat has already allowed firms to increase bills by 36% between 2025 and 2030, with demands rising, on average, 5.4% in April.

As always, taxpayers will be expected to pick up the cost of this never-ending debacle.

It's a complete and utter disgrace.

Only growth is in benefits

IRST the good news: Statistics show the UK economy grew by 0.4% from April to June. Now the bad: Panicked Treasury pen pushers have told the Prime Minister that's about as good as it will get as national wealth is forecast to rise by a paltry 0.3% next year.

You might have thought this assessment would jolt Andy Burnham into action and see him abandon the reckless tax-and-spend socialism he thinks is the answer to arrest Britain's economic turgidity.

But the truth is, like Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves before him, he has no coherent plan to kickstart growth.

We know that because if he was serious about unleashing investment and opportunity he would sanction deep and immediate cuts to the bloated welfare bill, which now stands at an unsustainable £333bn a year and rising.

Of course, he intends to do no such thing, which is why pessimism over the future of the economy is less a forecast than a permanent state of mind under Labour.

Flight to remember

THE remarkable sight of three beaming Second World War veterans (combined age 300) enjoying a white-knuckle Spitfire flight yesterday should make us proud to be British. The heroes were treated to the dream-come-tune day out as a thank you for their service.

They, and each and every one who stood and served during this country's darkest days, are and always will be the greatest generation.

Tried, tasted, failed ... Europe's wealth favor, patient

OUR NEW Prime Minister and his Chancellor have a daunting in-tray of requests for funding – from submarines to the NHS and beyond. How they are going to pay for it all remains to be seen.

Perhaps the simplest step is to tax wealth itself. It sounds intuitively fair. It polls brilliantly. However it's been tried repeatedly in more than a dozen countries over three decades.

In 1990, 12 OECD countries levied an annual tax on net wealth. By 2017, just four remained. Once France converted its version into a property-only tax in 2018, we were down to three: Norway, Spain and Switzerland.

Austria abolished its wealth tax in 1994. Denmark and Germany in 1997. The Netherlands in 2001. Finland, Iceland and Luxembourg in 2006. Sweden in 2007. All of which suggests it simply doesn't work.

France ran the most notorious experiment – the ISF, a 'solidarity tax on fortunes' – from 1988 to 2017. It saw a net outflow of around 60,000 millionaires from 2000 onwards. At its peak, roughly two wealthy taxpayers were leaving the country every single day.

A tax that costs the state twice what it raises is not a tax. In fact, it's a complete own goal. No wonder Emmanuel Macron scrapped it in 2018.

SWEDEN abolished its own wealth tax in 2007. By the mid-2000s an estimated 500 billion kronor of Swedish capital – around £40billion – had been shifted offshore, much of it to escape the tax.

Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA and then Sweden's richest man, was living in Switzerland.

The same headaches arise everywhere the annual version has been tried. Valuation is a

nightmare. What is a private business, a farm or a pension pot worth this year?

Ask 10 accountants, get 10 answers – then litigate all of them; asset-rich, cash-poor people are forced to sell assets just to pay the levy; and it all gets watered down when exemptions get lobbied in – businesses, farms, pensions, art – until the base looks like Swiss cheese and the yield is trivial.

Most OECD wealth taxes raised well under 1% of total tax revenue.

The genuinely rich, the most mobile people on Earth, simply leave.

The UK has already run the most thorough investigation of a wealth tax anywhere in the world. The Wealth Tax Commission of 2020 decided not to recommend an annual wealth tax for us.

The international record was too poor, administrative costs too high, behavioural responses

too corrosive. Reform existing taxes instead, they said. The only version they could defend was a one-off emergency levy – and a one-off is only clean if nobody believes it will be repeated. Good luck with that.

There is a single exception to the rule.

Switzerland has taxed wealth since the 19th century – it levies virtually no capital gains tax on private assets. So the wealth tax substitutes for other taxes on capital – it does not stack on top of them.

Switzerland is the world's biggest net importer of millionaires. Political stability, privacy and lump-sum deals for wealthy foreigners all keep it that way.

The wealth tax is, in effect, the membership fee for the world's most attractive wealth club. People queue up to pay it.

Now compare with the UK. A wealth tax here would stack on top of capital gains tax, inheritance tax at 40%, stamp duty

and dividend taxes – not substitute for them.

The moving vans are already busy – the UK is already seeing millionaires leave en masse. Plus, before anyone claims we do not tax wealth at all – we do, extensively.

CAPITAL gains tax, inheritance tax, stamp duty and dividend taxes between them raise tens of billions a year. The honest debate is about how we tax wealth, not whether.

The conditions that make the Swiss tax work are precisely the conditions the UK does not have and cannot legislate into existence.

If we want to fight inequality, why not start by ending the quiet transfer of ordinary savers' returns to a banking industry that has overcharged for decades?

Every extra pound in fees is a pound quietly moving from a family's pockets into their providers' profits – wealth that should have stayed invested and growing for the people who earned it is lost forever.

Legal McKinstry

The death penalty would rebalance scales of justice

PRISON policy continues to dominate the political landscape. Probation staff are threatening strike action in protest at the early-release scheme, while police chiefs have demanded that the government take action to ensure the killers of PC Andrew Harper are not let out in the autumn.

But here is one radical long-term proposal that would transform the entire discussion - bring back the death penalty for the most serious murderers. Such a step would rebuild the moral authority of the state and restore a sense of vigorous justice in the penal system.

With the ultimate sanction in place, all other sentences could be ratcheted upwards, which is exactly what the public wants.

Thanks to modern detection methods, there is little chance of executing the wrong person.

Substantial savings could be made by the removal of the most notorious high-security inmates, freeing up funds to be reinvested elsewhere.

Hanging is an indicator of courage and confidence from the guardians of law enforcement. It is no coincidence crime has soared since its abolition almost 60 years ago.

MIATTA Fahnbulleh, Labour's Energy Secretary, has been accused of hypocrisy, following the revelation that she and her husband, a hedge fund owner, send their three children to private school.

It is an unconvincing charge. I am not aware that she has ever campaigned against independent schools. But doesn't her affluence, her upbringing as the daughter of Liberia's foreign minister, and her private education make a mockery of the woke idea that privilege is the preserve of white people?

We won't prop up this criminal racket

Picture: JULIAN FINNEY/GETTY

IN HIS typically penetrating style, George Orwell wrote that "political language is designed to make lies sound truthful, and murder respectable and to give the appearance of solidity to pure wind". His words are a perfect description of the flood of verbiage about immigration from the ruling elite, which has elevated deceit and dishonesty into a central theme of governance.

Our politicians are gripped by a kind of institutional schizophrenia, as they oscillate between their ideological belief in open borders and their cynical impulse to pay lip service to robust public opinion.

So they wrap themselves in the Union Jack and boast of new crackdowns on new arrivals, yet simultaneously proclaim that "diversity is our strength," and extol the vibrancy of multicultural Britain.

The same incoherent failure is reflected in the unfulfilled pledge to "smash the gangs."

The government has failed to take the tough, realistic steps that would hinder their operations, such as opening a centre outside Europe to process asylum claims or leaving the outdated European Convention on Human Rights - drastically reducing the scope for judicial activism by Left-wing lawyers.

Nothing symbolises more graphically the present useless strategy than the sight of well-equipped Border Agency boats acting as a quasi-forty service for migrants. It might regard its approach as compassionate, but in reality it is collusion with criminality.

Such feebleness bolsters the arrogance of gangs, who are more confident than ever, as shown by the increasing size of their vessels. On Tuesday, a 49ft dinghy reached the English coast, with 230 illegal migrants on board, easily a record.

Sadly there is no sign that Andy

Burnham brings any original or creative thought to the issue. Indeed, for someone reputed to be a great communicator, he proved astonishingly tone deaf when asked about plans for further taxpayer-funded accommodation for asylum-seekers. These plans, including new homes and centres in rural parts of England, have provoked widespread opposition.

In the Norfolk village of Thetford,

15 people were arrested last week in protests outside properties said to be designated as asylum homes.

There has been even greater uproar over plans for a camp for 1,200 migrants near the idyllic Oxfordshire village of Piddington, whose population is just 400.

In the light of public concerns, Burnham promised to look at the scheme again, but then, like a patronising official from the wartime

Golden girl Amy follows footsteps of the Iron Lady

AMY HUNT: the rising star of British athletics, stormed her way to gold in the 100 metres at the European Championships.

She is not only "a track goddess" (to use her own phrase) but has also just gained an English degree from Cambridge.

"I am so in love with the life I have created," she says of her delight in her success.

Intriguingly, she went to Kesteren and Grantham Girls School, as did another charismatic high achiever who went to the name of Margaret Roberts, later Thatcher.

Ministry of Information, he said that all areas of "the country will have to play their part." If he was trying to invoke the spirit of the Blitz by urging us to come together for the defence of our nation, then his attempt at emotional blackmail was hopelessly ill-judged.

It has been estimated that more than 80% of Channel migrants are young men of military-service age from Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Yet, without any proper checks, most are allowed to settle here. Some are bound to be extremists, terrorists or Islamic hardliners. Others will be domestic abusers, wife-beaters or perverts.

All who arrive by illegal routes are by definition criminal.

It is outrageous of the PM to tell us that we have to "do our bit". Effectively we are being asked to prop up a gigantic criminal racket.

We did not ask these young men to come here, nor does our society need to import their homelands' misogynistic, sectarian, theocratic cultures, which are such a threat to our traditions of liberty.

Like the plans for asylum accommodation, the politicians imposed mass immigration on Britain without any mandate. No major party ever stood on a platform of open borders. No one ever voted for this cultural and social revolution. It is sickening of Burnham to expect us to cheer on this destructive project.

LESSONS TO LEARN FOR CAMBRIDGE ACADEMICS BLINDED BY IDENTITY POLITICS

JASON ARDAY, the ex-Cambridge professor, has just had his autobiography published in the US despite the global scandal over allegations of plagiarism. Was the book categorised under memoir, fiction, horror or DIY ("How to create your own doctorate with just a photocopier, Tipp-Ex and a panel of deluded voxoplators"?)

But even if his American publisher sustains some damage to its reputation, the real blows are now falling on Cambridge University.

Desperate to stop the bleeding, it launched an internal inquiry into Arday's appointment. But

no amount of bureaucratic manoeuvring can disguise the intellectual bankruptcy of much of an academic elite in thrall to identity politics.

As the indefatigable research expert Charlotte Gill points out, among recent options for post-graduate study at Cambridge were: "Legal Mobilisation of Black, Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer Women in Kenya and South Africa"; and "Exploring gendered embodiment in transgender and gender-diverse adolescents at the intersection of exercise and eating

behaviours, social inclusion and mental health." The university's Faculty of Education - which recruited Arday, inset - also hired as assistant professor Dr Farah Ahmed, an alleged former supporter of outlawed terror group Hizb ut-Tahrir. In a pamphlet for the group, Dr Ahmed wrote that "Western education is a threat to Muslim beliefs and values." But her hostility did not prevent her from taking the job in one of the West's leading - if now painted - seats of learning.

'Recall MPs over jail crisis'

Lib Dems call for urgent action in PC Harper case

PC Harper's killers Jessie Cole and Albert Bowers

ANDY Burnham is being urged to recall Parliament over the early release chaos as almost one million people backed a petition to keep PC Andrew Harper's killers behind bars.

The Prime Minister is leaving the hero officer's family facing "unimaginable suffering" as the government's controversial scheme unravels, the Liberal Democrats warned.

Thames Valley Police officer PC Harper died in 2019, after being dragged for more than a mile behind a getaway vehicle while investigating a quad bike burglary.

Disgraceful

Relatives of those serving in uniform said Labour's release proposals are "absolutely disgraceful", adding that killers "of serving emergency services should be held to the full account of their sentence".

Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper said: "It has absolutely shocked the nation that in a few months' time [two of] PC Andrew Harper's killers – Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole – may be released from prison.

"It's deeply unfair to victims' families for the government to continue to flip-flop and leave them in limbo.

BY MICHAEL KNOWLES Home Affairs Editor

Those guilty of killing our brave emergency service workers should under no circumstances be allowed to walk free early.

"Liberal Democrats have proposed emergency legislation to ensure these cop killers are exempt from early release. If Andy Burnham is serious about engaging with parties to stop this he should simply recall Parliament for 24 hours to get this sorted.

"The family of PC Harper and other emergency workers who have been killed in the line of service deserve certainty that those responsible will serve their time."

Mr Burnham is desperately trying to find a way to keep Bowers and Cole behind bars after blocking the early release of some 1,000 rapists and child groomers.

But the PM has been warned he cannot block individual prisoners without including everyone convicted of the same offence. There are thought to be around 470 people convicted of manslaughter in jail.

Freddie van Mierlo, local MP for PC Harper's family, said: "The government needs to provide certainty for the family and a recall of Parliament can provide that."

Top cop rages over release of pervert in their victim's street

A SEX offender who should have been remanded in custody was recently bailed to an address two doors down from his victim.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley revealed the blunder as he criticised the failings of other agencies that enabled double-murderer Simon Levy's offending.

Sir Mark told the BBC's Today programme: "There's no one from the court service, no one from CPS, no one from probation stepping forward and talking about their failures."

On Wednesday Sir Mark blasted the courts for

releasing serial sex attacker Levy on bail. The senior officer said there are 10,800 registered sex offenders in London and the number grows by 100 every three months. He added: "The Met is 4,000 people smaller than four years ago, this is a systemic disinvestment by governments in agencies that keep people safe."

Later the Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson said he was "deeply sorry" after admitting the Crown Prosecution Service was to blame for some of the failures that led to Levy killing Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo and Sheryl Wilkins.

Powers goes to Musk's head

BY RICHARD ASHMORE

ELON Musk has posted a bizarre AI video showing him as Austin Powers and the "man who bought the UK".

The man's richest man struts through the streets of London in the clip with his face replacing that of comedian Mike Myers' iconic "old-gadolic" O07 spoof spy character.

The Trillionaire, 55, apes the swinging 60s dance routine by Powers from the start of the hit 1997 film, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery.

As the music plays the title credits are replaced with "Elon Musk, man who bought the UK" before the X owner is joined by futuristic Tesla Optimus robot backing dancers. He also poses behind a spoof Musk-style Time magazine cover.

It appears Musk posted the video yesterday after replying to an article by the spoof news site The Babylon Bee. It ran a story headlined Elon Musk Buys The United Kingdom To Establish Free Speech There. Musk replied "how much?", the words he used on hearing Twitter was for sale in 2017.

Small retailers fall victim to fake 'damaged goods' photos

EXCLUSIVE

BY PAUL JEEVES Crime Editor

SMALLER retailers are falling victim to a new type of fraud with customers using AI to create fake photos claiming products have been delivered broken.

The corrupt shoppers either claim a refund or a replacement.

Because of the cost of return postage, many smaller shop owners cannot afford to pay for the return of the goods and so post a replacement or refund the cost.

The thieves keep their original product and pocket the refund or re-sell the replacement online.

Jason Guy, 54, runs Make Up or Break Up alongside his husband Ian, 37.

Launched in 2014, they have a £2million annual turnover selling festival and Pride accessories, such as glitter and face jewels.

They operate from a shop in Manchester's famous Afflecks market and have three bustling e-commerce websites.

With thousands of weekly online orders, the business routinely deals with damaged goods.

Jason Guy runs shop Make Up or Break Up with husband Ian in Manchester

Traditionally, Jason has asked customers for a quick photo of the broken item to process a refund, saving the company the cost of return postage.

But he says customers are using easily accessible AI tools to doctor images, making perfectly good items appear crushed or ruined.

He said: "It takes five seconds of work. You can just put a picture into an AI tool and ask 'make this look damaged in the post' and

out comes a damaged picture." While their business already accounts for around £33,000 annually in damaged or stolen items – this wave of digital shoplifting poses a fresh threat.

Fortunately, Jason, a former head of digital marketing for banking giants HSBC, is uniquely equipped to spot the fakes.

He also says dishonest customers often use AI chatbots to write their complaint emails,

giving themselves away with overly elaborate, heavily worded excuses, compared to the straightforward messages of genuinely inconvenienced shoppers.

But while Jason believes he intercepts the dozen or so fraudulent attempts he receives each week, he worries for less tech-savvy independent retailers who might blindly trust the doctored images.

He added: "If you're a retailer in doubt over pictures that a customer sends, ask them to send a video and move their hand about over the product at the same time. AI can't cope with that."

Catherine Britton, head of fraud risk at Starling Bank, said: "With fraud costing UK businesses over £5billion a year, staying vigilant against tech-driven scams is crucial."

Starling offers a free in-app tool called Scam Intelligence to help.

Business owners can message the bank's AI assistant to check if an email shows signs of invoice fraud, or upload an online marketplace photo to gauge if a listing is a scam.

HOW TO BEAT THE AI SCAMMERS

BREAK THE CHAIN:

Never rely on a single communication channel, such as email, to approve payment requests. AI can clone voices and generate convincing deepfakes and emails. If money is involved, always verify the request using a separate, trusted contact method.

INSPECT THE IMAGE:

Check photos of damaged products closely. Look for unnatural shadows, strange textures or missing details that can give away that it might be fake. Pro tip: right-click the image to check its file metadata. If there is no camera data, or if it shows editing software, it could be AI-generated.

LIMIT PUBLIC DETAILS:

Avoid posting detailed staff hierarchies, employee videos, or photos online. Criminals look for this to craft hyper-targeted impersonation phishing scams and deepfakes.

Catholic bishop David Oakley

Bishop in court over claims he raped girl

BY TRISTAN KIRK

THE Bishop of Northampton has appeared in court over allegations he raped a girl under the age of 16.

David Oakley, 70, is accused of twice having sex with the girl, who was 15, during the early 2000s. He was in his mid-40s and working as a Catholic priest.

He appeared before Westminster magistrates' court yesterday via videolink from his lawyer's office.

The court heard he and the girl had "started dating" after going on a pilgrimage to Lourdes in south-west France.

Oakley was released on bail, with conditions not to contact the alleged victim or her family, ahead of a plea hearing next month.

The defendant was ordained as a priest in 1980 and became Bishop of Northampton in 2020. He is currently withdrawn from public ministry, having been first arrested in September 2025.

Oakley was charged in June following an investigation by Staffordshire Police's rape and serious sexual offences team.

Musa Ahmed died six days after getting into difficulty at West Mersea on July 22.

The youngster, from Romford, East London, suffered a brain injury, given as another provisional cause of death. His cousin Sameeha Rahman, 15, and her mother Sheima Rahman, 41, from Ilford, East London, also died.

Senior coroner Lincoln Brookes told the hearing at Chelmsford County Hall: "One cannot underestimate the tragic nature of such an incident." He adjourned the inquest to January.

Jailed for killing men they drugged to rob

BY ROD MINCHIN

A ROMANIAN couple who killed two men by dragging their wine to rob them during sexual liaisons have each been jailed for 17 years.

Adina Mihai, 31, and her partner Madalin Dumitru, 30, arranged to meet men paying for sex.

The court heard Mihai advertised sexual services online and would take cash deposits from victims.

Dumitru would drive her to their victims' homes and wait outside while she drugged and stole from them.

Four men were drugged when glasses of wine were spiked with the powerful sedative gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) so the two defendants could take money from them, Oxford crown court heard.

It resulted in the death of two of the men, Malcolm King, 80, of Bagendon, Gloucestershire, and Gary Mouat, 36, of Banbury, Oxfordshire.

At a previous hearing the killers, formerly from Ilford, East London, admitted two charges of manslaughter

Dad Gary Mouat, left, was killed by Mihai and Dumitru, as was married Malcolm King, right

and to administering poison to two other men, who cannot be named.

The court heard a recorded victim impact statement from Mr Mouat's nine-year-old son, who asked: "Why did you have to kill my dad?"

Jailing the pair, Mrs Justice Brunner said: "Your joint intention was to incapacitate each victim. The adminis-

tration of the drug was haphazard. If you had stopped for a moment to consider the risks...you would have realised that it carried a high risk of serious injury or death at the very moment you administered that drug."

Retired Mr King contacted Mihai on August 20, 2024, and arranged to meet at his home that evening while

his wife was away, the court heard. His body was found the next morning by his housekeeper, along with an empty wine bottle and two glasses.

Almost a year later, glazier Mr Mouat contacted Mihai via classified adverts website VivaStreet when his wife and son were away.

He was left unconscious from wine laced with the drug and was found dead the next morning by friends.

Hours after the killers left his home, a third man contacted Mihai and he was also drugged and had his Rolex watch stolen. A week later, a fourth man also had jewellery and aftershave stolen after being drugged.

The couple were arrested days later after police stopped their BMW containing some victims' belongings.

Two charges of murder and administering poison, and conspiracy to steal charges, were ordered to lie on file following their guilty pleas.

Det Insp Michael Roddy of Thames Valley Police said: "Their offending was calculated, predatory and cost two innocent men their lives."

Great camping spots

Lake District pitch perfect for outdoor breaks

BY FRANCES MILLAR

A HIKER'S paradise with stunning scenery and great pubs has topped a poll of the nation's most beautiful camping spots.

Great Langdale, which runs west from Ambleside beneath the Langdale Pikes in the Lake District, is home to landmarks including the Old Dungeon Ghyll inn.

And the National Trust's Cumbrian campsite won out in the survey of 2,000 people. Watermouth Valley in Ilfracombe, Devon, was second, ahead of Red Squirrel, Glencoe, and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park in third and fourth. Duchess's Meadow in Buxton, Peak District, was fifth.

After a summer of heatwaves, a quarter of those quizzed said that camping is enjoying a major comeback.

Almost as many said that Britain is the best place in the world to do it.

Half have enjoyed or are planning to pitch outdoors this holiday season, rising to 70% among 18 to 29-year-olds.

The biggest draw was getting out into nature (45%). Spending a break on home turf was another (44%), followed by time with family (37%) – and saving money (33%).

George Wallis, of car firm Isuzu, which did the research, said: "The UK is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, so it's no surprise loading up and heading somewhere remote remains timeless."

Expert in a flap over rare moth discovery

BY EMILY BEAMENT

A HIDDEN population of one of England's rarest moths has been found at a site where it has not been seen for 70 years - by a conservationist who has spent more than two decades searching for them.

Dr Dave Wainwright, of Butterfly Conservation, tracked down a second home of Eplone vespertaria - the dark bordered beauty moth - at the National Trust's Wallington Estate in Northumberland.

The only other known site in England had been Strensall Common in North Yorkshire, where the population had dwindled to low double figures.

The discovery of the second population in England gives new hope for the species, which was once widespread but has suffered habitat loss. It is now restricted to two small areas on Deeside and Speyside in Scotland, as well as the sites in England.

Dr Wainwright has been searching for the moth since he started work at Butterfly Conservation in 2004 and visited Wallington, but he failed to track down any. This time, however, the habitat had essentially been rewilded and Dr Wainwright said: "It only took 10 minutes to find the first one. The team was excited but perhaps not as excited as I was!"

Actress Sharon D Clarke

Othello star Sharon pulls out due to cancer fight

BY FRANCES MILLAR

A LEADING actress who was due to play Othello in a new Royal Shakespeare Company production has pulled out to undergo cancer treatment.

Triple Olivier Award-winner Sharon D Clarke was due to take on the role, reimagined as a lesbian, at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from February 13 to April 3 next year.

But the retelling of Shakespeare's tragedy will now be postponed.

The RSC said people who have bought tickets will be given refunds, and a replacement show will be confirmed later.

Ms Clarke, 60, said: "I would like to thank all the beautiful people at the RSC for their understanding, love, support and healing energy. Othello will be my north star as I undergo treatment."

Overwhelmed

Referencing her wife – theatre director Susie McKenna – Ms Clarke added: "Susie, my family and I are overwhelmed, humbled and buoyed by the tidal wave of love that we have received."

Monique Touko, the director of the RSC's production, said: "We send Sharon all the love for her ongoing treatment and recovery."

"I look forward to us coming back together when the time is right to share this production with the world."

Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, RSC co-artistic directors, added: "The casting of Sharon as Othello is integral to the adaptation, which is why we have taken the decision to postpone."

"We send Sharon our love and strength for a full recovery."

Ms Clarke has starred in major West End productions, and appeared in a string of TV shows.

She has also enjoyed chart success with house music duo Nomad during the 1990s.

VLADIMIR Putin is more FSB than FAB despite looking like Thunderbirds puppet John Tracy as he wears a naval uniform aboard a Russian warship.

JAMES Norton has ruled himself out as the next Bond because he's 41.

The Happy Valley star's name has been in the frame since Daniel Craig confirmed No Time To Die would be his final outing as 007.

Quizzed about the rumours, James said: "I've been asked a thousand times over the last 10 years. And I can honestly, hand on heart, say no.

"I think I may be a little bit long in the tooth now."

Daniel was 51 when No Time To Die was released in 2021 – and hired when he was 38.

10/1. The next James Bond may still be a mystery – Amazon MGM Studios announced in May it has started searching – but other things have firmed up. Dune and Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve will be masterminding the next film and Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is writing it.

James, who was 18/1 to become 007, counted himself out in an interview on the Capital Breakfast radio show, where he also revealed another role he didn't get – billionaire Christian Grey.

He said: "The list is endless because at the beginning of your career, you

are hustling and you are also sent in for these mad auditions that you would never get. Very early on I went in for 50 Shades of Grey. And I remember the casting director at the end of my tape saying, 'It's fine but I just think you need to be a bit more charismatic'."

"That's the worst. It's basically saying, 'Live a bit cooler and be a bit better at life'."

"And surprisingly I didn't get that role."

The role went to Jamie Dornan, 44, who is now among the wildcards to play Bond – Ladbrokes has him at 66/1. Harry Styles, 32, is 100/1, James Corden, 47, is at 500/1 and Jeremy Clarkson, 66, is at 1,000/1. Sky Bet and Paddy Power have Sydney Sweeney, 28, at 25/1.

DRAFT

Kenney Jones, performs with The Who, 1979

EXCLUSIVE

By John Earls

MUSIC history would be very different without Kenney Jones. Not only has his hypnotic drumming lit up classic bands Small Faces, Faces and The Who, it was the persuasive, genial rocker who convinced his bandmates that Rod Stewart would be their ideal new singer when Faces formed after Small Faces singer Steve Marriott quit.

In 1969, Stewart was a little-known promising talent fronting cult bluesmen the Jeff Beck Group. Jones's bandmates were happy to nick Beck's bassist Ronnie Wood for their new line-up, when Wood wanted to switch to playing guitar. They were less keen on getting Stewart in – even though they knew he was a great singer.

Marriott had left Small Faces because he was fed up of the band's screaming teenage audience and wanted to be taken seriously. So the rest of the band – bassist Ronnie Laine and keyboardist Ian McLagan – each tried singing instead.

Recalling the fateful night when Faces found their man, Jones tells us: "Ronnie and Mac had great voices, but something wasn't right. We were missing 'the' voice. Then, Rod came down to watch us. And he kept coming down, and he was obviously perfect.

"One night, we were drinking with [singer and Budgie actor] Adam Faith. I took Rod to one side and said: 'Look, do you fancy joining the band?' Rod said yeah – but would the others let him in? We went back to Adam's flat to carry on drinking.

"When I told the band I'd asked Rod to join, their reaction was: 'No! We can't have any prima donnas. We've just had that with Steve!' But I stuck to my guns. I told them we'd be stupid to turn Rod down. And eventually they saw sense."

Faces – renamed from Small Faces because "Woody and Rod were too tall, we weren't small anymore" – enjoyed classic hits like Stay With Me, Cindy Incidentally and Ooh La La, helping to launch Stewart's solo megastardom.

A perfect mix of raucous tunes and swaggering attitude, life in Faces was as much fun as it looked, as Jones recalls: "Everywhere we went, it was a great laugh. When we checked in at airports, we'd be so bored that one of us would fall over. That would cause havoc, and it'd be like that all day on tour. We just had a great time."

By then, Jones, Laine and McLagan already had a reputation for living life to the full. The drummer was only 15 when Small Faces enjoyed their first hit Whatcha Gonna Do About It in 1965. Along with The Who, they were instrumental in starting the Mod movement, looking as sharp as their music.

The band grew up in Manor Park, East

London, and Jones explains: "We grew up in black-and-white, after Britain was recovering from the war. Everyone wore grey or black. Then clothes shops started opening, and we had a great deal of fun discovering new fashion.

"When I went home to have a drink with my dad one Sunday lunchtime, I was wearing pink trousers and a red shirt. Dad said: 'I can't go to the pub with you dressed like that!' I said: 'Dad, I'm still me – but I'm in colour.'" Colourful hits All Or Nothing, Sha-

La-La-La-Lee and Itchycoo Park lit up the chart. But Small Faces ended after their third album Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake failed to chart. Now recognised as a classic, it was one of the first concept albums in music, telling the story of a boy trying to find the missing half of the Moon, narrated by comedian Stanley Unwin.

As a boy, Marriott had been the first child actor to play The Artful Dodger in Oliver! in the West End. Jones believes that experience inspired Ogdens' narrative, saying: "When it came to telling the songs' story and its ideas,

I STILL MISS KEITH EVERY DAY

Steve was a natural for making it theatrical and musical, having played The Artful Dodger and gone to the Italia Conti stage school. Really, we should have called the band The Artful Dodgers instead of Small Faces. Growing up in the East End, that's what we were."

JONE'S face – over Zoom from his home in Surrey – clouds over as he describes his regret that Small Faces only played Ogdens' once in concert, for BBC2 music show Colour Me Pop.

"I really wish we'd played Ogdens' live more," sighs Jones, 77. "In Britain, our teenybopper image was driving us nuts. We should have taken Ogdens' to America. If we'd done that, we would have stayed

together longer.” Small Faces eventually reformed in 1977, without Laine. But the resulting album Playmates, recorded at the height of punk, was a disaster.

Jones says: “Punk was happening and Steve adopted that whole side. When we played together in the studio, it was great. But once we went onstage, Steve was gobbling on people and swearing. He became a different animal. I wish that period of my life never happened. I should have walked away when Ronnie did.”

The following year saw the most emotional time of Jones’s career, when he replaced his good friend Keith Moon in The Who, following the death of “Moony” aged just 32 from an accidental overdose of the medication he took to control his drinking.

Faces and The Who were regular touring partners, leading to many hilarious antics for the two drummers. Jones says: “You never

knew what was going to happen when you were with Moony. If we were in the pub and Moony wasn’t the centre of attention, he’d pour a drink over his head.”

Hotels were a particular source of chaos. “Checking into my room at a hotel in Glasgow, I heard this burrowing noise. It was a nice hotel, but I thought there were mice in there. All of a sudden, the noise gets louder and louder. It had been Moony, making a hole in the room next door. He burst his head through the gap, going: ‘Fancy a drink?’”

“Another time, I was unpacking my suitcase when I heard a whooshing noise. I walked towards it when suddenly I was soaking wet and falling back straight onto my suitcase. Moony had stuck a firehose underneath the door. He was endlessly funny.”

Jones was with Moon the night the drummer died, at a party organised by Paul McCartney for the West End premiere of a

film produced by Macca, The Buddy Holly Story. Jones says: “Keith told me: ‘I’m not drinking anymore. If I have a drink or take drugs, these pills I’m taking mean I’d be violently ill.’ He seemed really happy. I went back home then, when I turned on the TV the next day, straight away the news was saying Keith had died. I thought he was playing a practical joke. I’d been with him the night before, it couldn’t be true. It was so very sad. I still miss Keith every day.”

AT THE TIME, Jones was starting a band with Elton John’s guitarist Tim Renwick. Out of loyalty, he initially rejected Pete Townshend’s offer to join The Who, but his new bandmates told him he’d be mad not to join.

The Who’s new line-up made two albums together, but singer Roger Daltrey was critical of Jones’ playing compared to Moon’s extravagant style. Jones insists there are no difficulties between the pair, saying: “Roger hated seeing anyone else in Keith’s place. At the time, I don’t think he would have accepted anyone. I’d made it clear when I joined: ‘I’m a completely different drummer. I’m a straighter drummer, that’s how I play.’ I understand why Roger was upset. We get along great, there’s no problem between us.”

In 2014, Jones was back behind The Who’s drum kit for a one-off concert for Prostate Cancer UK after he was diagnosed with the

disease. He says: “It was just great playing with them again, it worked out brilliantly.”

Although he’s sat behind Steve Marriott, Rod Stewart and Roger Daltrey, Jones reserves his highest praise for Free singer Paul Rodgers, who he played with in 90s band The Law. Jones now runs a record label, Nice, with his friend Nigel Adams. As well as an upcoming boxset of Small Faces singles, they hope to possibly issue The Law’s unreleased second album, as Jones enthuses: “Paul has the ultimate voice. Even Rod rates him... his voice is so warm it’s just perfect.”

It shows that, over 60 years into his career, Kenney Jones is still artfully dodging about. There are even plans for a new Faces album and documentary with Stewart and Wood, 53 years after their last record.

“We’ve got the ideas for new music,” smiles Jones. “Rod and Ron are always busy, but we still see each other whenever we can. What can I say? It’s in the process of becoming good.”

It certainly proves Small Faces’ first manager, Don Arden – father of Sharon Osbourne – was wrong in his view of the rockers.

Jones says: “After a meeting, Don drove me back home to the East End. He gave me a pep talk, saying: ‘Get what you can, while you can, because this is only going to last you three months’. Those three months have lasted sixty-odd years.”

OCEAN PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

Seal of approval for sea life pies

MATTHEW SMITH: Southern elephant seal pups explore shallow rock pools on Sea Lion Island in the Falkland Islands, testing their first movements in the water after being weaned by their mothers. These young seals must quickly learn to swim and survive independently. As they climb over one another and investigate their surroundings, this scene captures a key moment in their journey from land-bound pups to ocean explorer.

The pod stayed with the surfers for more than an hour, moving through the line-up as naturally as the people around them.

A SEAL pup braves the water for the first time as it prepares for a life in the ocean waves.

It peers at the camera with big anxious eyes just below the surface of a shallow rock pool in the Falkland Islands where it must quickly learn to swim and survive independently of its mother.

The heart-wrenching photo earned photographer Matthew Smith a place among the finalists in this year's Ocean Photographer of the Year competition.

A cheerier choice shows a pair of twospot cardinalfish above a colourful field of Christmas tree worms in Japan, and another showing Hawaiian green sea turtles resting in a sea cave at sunset.

The 2026 competition highlights the beauty of our oceans and the urgent need to protect them.

Oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface but warming waters and habitat destruction are putting marine life under increasing pressure. Ocean Photographer of the Year director Will Harrison said: "As the pressures on our ocean grow, so does the importance of the artists who bear witness to them." Winners will be announced in September.

RAFAEL FERNANDEZ CABALLERO: Nearly an hour after an orca pod separated a humpback whale calf from its mother, two orcas resurface carrying their prey between them in the Pacific waters off Mexico. The image reveals the co-operative hunting strategies of orcas, where multiple individuals work together to isolate and subdue large prey.

LEIGHTON LUM: Hawaiian green sea turtles rest together inside a sheltered sea cave on Maui at sunset. Once heavily hunted, these turtles have recovered through decades of protection, and gatherings like this show the progress made. After carefully entering the cave, the photographer watched as more turtles arrived with the rising tide, eventually counting 17 in the refuge.

Appeal over gran killed in her home

BY ELEANOR BARLOW

THE family of a grandmother who was killed in her home say they are “desperate” for answers as they made an appeal on what would have been her 69th birthday.

Rose Johnston was found with a blunt-force head injury in Dovercot, Liverpool, on October 4 last year, just after 12.30pm.

Defectives believe there are people with information who have not yet come forward. A 37-year-old man arrested on suspicion of her murder in May remains on conditional bail.

In a statement released today, which would have been Mrs Johnston’s birthday, her family have put out a plea for help.

They said: “We are still in

a state of shock and disbelief as to why this has happened to my beautiful mum.

“The investigation by Merseyside Police has been comprehensive and I know they are working so hard to find whoever did this.

“I’m appealing directly to those who might have any

information, no matter how small or trivial you might think it may be, to please come forward. Share it with the police or anonymously to Crimestoppers and help catch this person.”

Crimestoppers is offering a reward of up to £20,000.

Detective Chief Inspector Catherine Walsh said: “The past 10 months have been exceptionally difficult for Rose’s family and we are determined to get the answers they deserve.

“We still believe that the answers lie within the local community and that there are people out there who have information.

“I would simply say, please do the right thing and come forward. The person responsible for Rose’s murder does not deserve to be walking the streets.”

She was also Laura Marshall in ITV’s Crossroads, as motel boss David Hunter’s girlfriend, Mrs Nash in Shelley and Mrs Boswell in Minder. The star married director Charles Reading in 1957 and they had two daughters. Her family said: “She achieved almost all of her ambitions but the last one eluded her. Sadly, her time ran out.”

BRAKING DOWN BARRIERS

Author shines a spotlight on the fearless female racing drivers that time forgot

GLAMOROUS women in racing overalls jumping out of cars in kitten heels back when many people were appalled by women driving – let alone zooming around a race track are finally getting their victory lap.

The Brooklands Belles tore up both the rule book and the race circuit in the 1930s, blasting their way into the male-dominated world of motor sport with their death defying skills behind the wheel and thrilling pizzazz away from it.

But in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Belles’ remarkable story and its impact on the era faded from history.

Now a new book – Brooklands Belles: The Women Racers Who Took on the Men – aims to put the Belles firmly back in the fast lane. Author Toby Hartwell explains: “The heyday of the Belles might have been brief, but it was brilliant and they burned very brightly.

“They were remarkable, luminous, inspirational, glamorous characters and sporting pioneers. They challenged the rules of what was a fledgling but male-dominated sport and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

“Their story deserves a wider audience. It’s not just about reclaiming their place in the record books but marking the fact that what they did, the challenges they faced and overcame all those decades ago can still resonate and inspire today.”

Toby, 68, from Dorset, comes from a family of car and motor racing enthusiasts.

His great uncle even raced at the Brooklands track in Surrey, the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, from which the Belles take their name.

It is also 100 years this month since Britain’s first Grand Prix was staged there.

But it was an old photograph that grabbed Toby’s attention.

He explains: “I saw an article which had this wonderful picture of a woman in a racing suit leaping out of a car in kitten heels – back in 1931.

“I did some research and was just smitten by the stories and pictures of this group of extraordinary women. I had to bring them back to life.”

Brooklands motor racing circuit opened back in 1907.

Its huge concrete amphitheatre with terrifyingly high banking drew tens of thousands of spectators to its regular events.

Its ethos was “the right crowd and no crowding”.

After Ascot, Henley and Wimbledon, race meetings were high on the social calendar

By Sue Lee

of the country’s well-to-do. But initially racing was only open to male drivers. Women had competed in just two races before they were banned from competition by the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club on the basis there were no “lady jockeys” so why should there be women racers?

Toby says: “This was an era when many people were appalled by the idea of women driving, let alone racing cars or motorcycles. There was a judge back then with a case of a speeding female driver quoted as saying it was ‘high time women over 30 should be stopped from driving’.

It was not until the ban was lifted in the late 1920s that women were allowed to race again – first against each other and then, by 1932, on equal terms against men.

The Brooklands Belles were born. Some were married, others had driven ambulances in the First World War, many were friends.

But all were competitive speed queens pushing boundaries on and off the track.

Father-of-two Toby explains: “One of my favourite Belles was Kay Petre.

“She was just 4ft 10in and had to have wooden blocks fitted to her cars’ pedals so she could reach them. Kay was very

glamorous and had her cars – a Bugatti and a Delage – sprayed a particular shade of blue and had overalls made to match. She even had a ‘beauty kit’ in the car – a stopwatch, cigarettes, lipstick and face powder.

“She was a peerless and fearless driver who achieved three lap records and was awarded the ‘130mph star’ after completing a lap at that speed.”

However, a serious accident in 1937 put an end to the Canadian-born racer’s career.

She later became a journalist, food writer and motoring correspondent and died, aged 91, in 1994.

ONE OF KAY’S peers was Fay Taylor, known as “Flying Fay”, who started as a motorcyclist but switched to racing cars to great international success.

Describing her as a “contrarian” – in one race Fay was so caught up in the excitement, she refused to stop and carried on for several more laps.

Toby says she also had a dark side: “Fay

Cathy Foley, left, on her Triumph race alongside Louie Bell on a James during the six-day endurance race which climbed at Brooklands

was amazingly talented, but also a follower of fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and an admirer of Hitler. As a result, she was interned during the war. That was her fatal flaw.” Nevertheless, Fay continued to race into the 1950s. She died in 1983 at the age of 80.

Another Belle, Beatrice Schilling, Tony describes as “no nonsense and usually with a fag in her mouth”.

He continues: “She came up with a device during WWII that solved a problem with fighter aircraft engines like the Spitfire, which would regularly choke and stall. She went around airfields fitting these things and undoubtedly saved many, many lives.”

Beatrice raced motorbikes at first, winning a Brooklands event on one she modified herself. She later moved to cars, tuning them in her workshop.

An aeronautical engineer for the Royal Aircraft Establishment, she was made an OBE for her war work and died in 1990.

Toby says that as the 1930s went on there was a “grudging” acceptance of the Belles and that they were as good as their male counterparts.

However, racing came to an abrupt halt at the outbreak of WWII and the site was turned over to the production of military aircraft. The track never saw racing again.

Today, it forms part of an aviation and motoring museum and has preserved part of the famous banked race track with a 60-degree slope.

Toby says that in the scramble to rebuild after war, the Belles and their exploits faded from memory.

He says: “The fact that Brooklands never reopened helped seal their short-lived achievements in aspic. But they deserve greater acclaim.

“I want to pass on their story because it shows barriers can be broken.

“I want my granddaughter to be inspired by these women who lived a time long before she was born, who went for it and succeeded.”

Transatlantic turtle Rhossi on way home

BY LAUREN BEAVIS

RARE turtle Rhossi has flown the first leg of his journey home to the US coated in Vaseline after getting lost and ending up in Wales.

He has been nursed back to health at Anglesey Sea Zoo since being found locally in 2023.

Rhossi's Kemp's riding sea turtle native to the Gulf of Mexico, was just 10in long and switched Z.Zib. After rehab, he hit 3st Zib and was ready for home. He was coated in Vaseline to stop him dehydrating then choppered

to Heathrow. Then it was a lot to Houston, Texas, and now he will be released at Peare Island where Kemp's riding's thrive.

Turtles can be carried over the Atlantic by currents than cold-stunned in our waters.

DAILY EXPRESS Friday, August 14, 2026 29

A SAVVY grandad who stocked up on 50 pairs of solar eclipse glasses before his family holiday in Menorca made more than £340 selling the spares to grateful holidaymakers.

Andrew Rhodes, 63, from Bucks, has now covered the cost of his return flight, with enough left over to buy a meal for his children and grandchildren.

The IT sales worker was heading to the Spanish holiday island where his two sons and their families were staying at a home owned by the Rhodes since 1971.

Menorca is one of the last spots in Western Europe where the full solar eclipse was visible.

But a shortage of solar specs meant Andrew feared his family and grandkids would miss out.

Resourceful Andrew managed to track down a bulk seller and drove out to collect them before his flight out on Tuesday.

But after handing out pairs to his sons, their wives, and children, he was left with a significant surplus.

His son Sam posted on a local Facebook page that his dad would be selling the specs for €10 a pop from 10am in a square

EXCLUSIVE BY RICHARD ASHMORE

in the town of Cala Torret, Binibea, on Wednesday.

They sold out in minutes after a flurry of messages and Sam had to take the post down.

Grandad-of-five Andrew said: 'There was an Irish guy who bought some – he joked it was easier to buy crack in Menorca than eclipse sunglasses.'

Promised

'Everyone had direct messages and said, 'I'll take two' or 'I'll take four', and a few people messaged to say 'we're here' when I was in the square.

'There was a worry we had promised some to people and they might turn up and we'd run out, so Sam took the messages down and we sold every one.

'It's paid towards my holiday and it will go towards a treat meal for my kids and grandkids.

'I've made about €400 – my flight out here was £59 return so that's paid for.

'At Luton airport, before I flew out, I had a pair in my hand

when I was in the bar and two lads there said they were going to Menorca.

'They said they'd booked a sailing trip specifically to coincide with the eclipse but had failed to get any glasses.

'I said 'well, you might be in luck!' I sold them three there and then at the typical price they had been flying out of the door in the UK.

'It's been a good story to tell. Unfortunately I'm not going to be around in 150 years for the next total eclipse in Menorca.'

Andrew and his family watched the stunning event off a promontory near Binibea, where he managed to take some amazing images of the solar spectacle.

He said: 'This is the last land in Europe where you could see the total eclipse, it was very special.'

At the moment of total eclipse local lad Aleix proposed to his girlfriend of 14 years, Paula, which she accepted, and a huge cheer went up.

Andrew said: 'I spoke to them afterwards. Everyone knew apart from Paula – and fortunately she said yes. A special moment for everyone at a special time.'

Victim, 102, of alleged assault 'had dementia'

A 102-YEAR-OLD great-grandfather who died after allegedly being assaulted at a pub was suffering from dementia, his son said.

Phillip Ormerod, of Cwmbran, South Wales, passed away in hospital this week after the incident at the town's Crow's Nest bar.

Paying tribute, his son Robert said his dad was a 'well-known character' and a popular regular at the pub.

The widower, inset, had dementia and lived alone in the Llanyraion area he raised his family in.

Robert said: 'I feel sad – even though he could be difficult because of his age and dementia, still, you

BY ELEANOR STOREY

get used to him being around. Even though I suppose he wouldn't go on forever, he would've carried on I think for a bit.

'I used to visit him regularly. Towards the end, me and my brother used to keep the house clean and buy his food because his eyesight deteriorated.'

Emergency services were called to the pub at 10.25pm on August 1 following a report of an assault.

A 56-year-old man from Llanelli was arrested on suspicion of assault and remains under investigation.

TALES FROM THE SET Throne together... with daddy of all insults for Norton

Edited by KAY HARRISON

Just when you think you've seen every coming-of-age film going, Sunny Dancer swoops in, with all that young love, angst and self-discovery – from a summer camp for teenagers with cancer. The indie movie sees Game of Thrones actor Bella Ramsey play stropper 17-year-old Ivy, who is in remission and less than thrilled when she's packed off by her parents, James Norton, 41, and Baby Reindeer's Jessica Gunning, 40, to find her tribe at 'chemo camp'.

And while Ramsey, 22, initially worried the story might be 'cringe or really depressing', reading the script tore down any misconceptions – and filming was a joy.

'It was amazing. It felt really lovely and very natural,' Ramsey said. 'She wasn't forcing herself to have a good time, she was actively trying not to have a good time, even though she kind of was. I guess that's how it felt for me in real life as well.'

'Filming it felt naturally fun. I wasn't trying to have fun – it just was every day.'

Norton is also part of the Game of Thrones universe, having

'I think he was a little bit put out that he had a teenage daughter'

starred in House Of The Dragon – but during promo interviews, Bella said he had one issue with his role in Sunny Dancer.

'I think he was a little bit put out that he had a teenage daughter,' Ramsey laughed. 'He didn't feel like he was old enough to be playing a father to a teenager. So that was funny.'

'Him and Jessica Gunning, who played my mum, got along so well, I had such cool parents.'

It was also a deeply personal project for director George Jaques, 26, who watched his own mum battle cancer when he was a child, and who has worked with the Teenage Cancer Trust, meeting teens who were determined to live life to the full.

'We wanted to make a film that you dance out of the cinema to, and you're reminded of how lucky we are to be here and to have our health,' he said. It's a sunny outlook that we all need.

STRENGTH IN CAMPERS

HOSTILE Bella Ramsey and James Norton

SUNNY DANCER

CERT 15, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★

In writer-director George Jaques' coming-of-age confection, a therapist likens grief counselling to making a glass of fruit cordial. Each session adds water to feelings of sadness and regret, reducing the pain until, eventually, it becomes tolerable.

The drinks-making analogy also applies to Sunny Dancer. Jaques starts strongly, serving many of his most impactful scenes in the opening hour, but dilutes a life-affirming message with predictable narrative choices in the final stretch.

Seventeen-year-old Ivy (Bella Ramsey) is 10 months into leukaemia remission but has yet to rediscover her joyful spark for life. Her parents (James Norton, Jessica Gunning) sign her up for a four-week summer camp in the Scottish Highlands, run by Patrick (Neil Patrick Harris) and his team. Ivy is openly hostile to Children Run Free's mandated camaraderie but her resistance softens and she forges lasting friendships with cabin roommate Ella (Ruby Stokes) and blue-eyed softie Jake (Daniel Quinn-Toye).

Shot at Auchengillan Outdoor Centre near Loch Lomond, Sunny Dancer tackles sensitive themes with potty-mouthed wit and unvarnished candour. Ramsey's screen chemistry with Quinn-Toye is sweet and their respectfully staged scenes of intimacy capture the innocent awkwardness of youth. Stokes provides injections of comic relief and Harris's potentially throwaway supporting character delivers a dizzying sledgehammer blow.

Jaques presses the play button on the film's exuberant anthem, I Don't Feel Like Dancin' by Scissor Sisters, one time too many and he telegraphs the film's ending through a metaphorical megaphone, drawing attention too readily to his screenwriting sleight of hand.

TONY

CERT 15, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★

Director Matt Johnson's tasty biopic of Anthony Bourdain opens with choice words from the revered chef's nonfiction bestseller, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures In The Culinary Underbelly.

Bourdain's scathingly honest assessment of his own weaknesses, before hubris and the responsibilities of adulthood slapped him squarely about the face, is on full, discomfiting display in Tony.

It marinates in the summer of 1975. Nineteen-year-old Anthony (Dominic Sessa) is overbrimming with confidence and assures his parents and brother that he will be the proud recipient of a residential summer writing scholarship.

When the committee fails to recognise his talents, Tony (as he prefers to be called)

steals money from his parents to finance a trip to Provincetown to chase after a girl (Emilia Jones). He finds employment washing dishes in the kitchen of a Brazilian-born chef (Antonio Banderas), whose passion for cooking inspires him.

Tony draws from Kitchen Confidential to paint a vivid portrait of a young man destined for an almighty fall from grace.

A scintillating performance from Sessa embraces every glorious facet of Bourdain. Banderas is delightful as the kind-hearted mentor, whose generosity may come back to bite him, and Leo Woodall relishes the sharp edges of his coke-fuelled womanising restaurant worker, Sal.

The sweet sentimentality of the film's final course is surprisingly heavy-handed after the well-balanced tartness, salt and spice of the opening hour.

HOLY DAYS

CERT 12A, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★

Huns go on the run to save their convent from demolition in a freewheeling road trip written and directed by Nathalie Boltt. Based on Joy Cowley's novel, Holy Days looks to the heavens for divine comic inspiration, but no one answers the film's prayers.

Were it not for a luminous performance from first-time actor Elijah Tamati, reminiscent of Julian Dennison's star-making turn in Hunt For The Wilderpeople, this intergenerational odyssey might chug along on exhaust fumes for stretches of its 101-minute running time.

Sisters Agnes (Judy Davis), Luke (Miriam Margolyes) and Mary Clare (Jacki Weaver) are the "last of the dinosaurs" at their ramshackle convent in 1974 New Zealand.

A mischievous 10-year-old boy named Brian (Tamati), whose mother Paula is buried in the

convent grounds, overhears Father Findlay (Jonny Brugh) colluding with Bishop Chaytor (John Bach) to sell off the convent land.

Once the sisters learn about the priest's underhand scheme, they embark on an impromptu mercy mission in a stolen car to South Island to recover the convent deeds with cheeky urchin Brian in tow.

Holy Days is a well-intentioned but old-fashioned yarn that doesn't stretch the three leads. Margolyes is gifted the showiest role because of her character's dementia.

When Boltt's script moves away from fart gags and elicits appreciative giggles, it's often thanks to Tamati's wonderful deadpan delivery.

Sister Agnes asserts that she has decades of experience driving a car and Brian quickly counters from the back seat. "Not this decade". Out of the mouth of a scene-stealing babe.

THE END OF OAK STREET

CERT CLA, IN CINEMAS NOW ★★★

I weird science suddenly transported you into the heart of Jurassic Park, how long do you think you would survive before a rampaging Spinosaurus or swooping Pterosaurus used your femur as a rudimentary toothpick?

Set in 1982, more than a decade before Steven Spielberg took his first gallivant with genetically engineered dinosaurs, The End Of Oak Street is a boisterous and brutal survival thriller festooned with rampaging prehistoric beasts, told from the perspective of a fractured family on the verge of implosion.

Denise Platt (Anne Hathaway) and husband Greg (Ewan McGregor) have reached an impasse in their marriage. Their children, Audrey (Maisy Stella) and Brian (Christian

Convery), can sense the tension inside the family home on Oak Street.

The unhappy mother seeks refuge in the basement where she types the first draft of a novel about a wife preparing to leave her husband and children. Ageing neighbour Mrs Huddleston (Anne Gee Byrd) kindly proofreads the manuscript.

Meanwhile, Greg disappears from family gatherings to earn cash from a secondary job as a pizza delivery man.

Nothing remarkable happens in the nondescript slice of suburban America that Greg and Denise call home, unless you count occasional run-ins with argumentative next-door neighbour Mel (PJ Byrne), who has a vendetta against Brian's dog Starbuck.

Blinding lights just after 11pm one night herald a bizarre phenomenon that teleports

the Platts' cosy neighbourhood back in time millions of years to a primeval vision of Earth populated by large, carnivorous creatures that relegate humans to the bottom of the food chain.

The traumatised family must stick together in outrageous adversity to navigate perilous surroundings and locate other survivors of the terrifying time-jump.

The End Of Oak Street is a gang-ho romp that relishes every opportunity to feed humans into the slavering jaws of digitally rendered predators. Writer-director David Robert Mitchell is immune to casual sentimentality.

The filmmaker gleefully racks up an impressive double-digit body count including repeated scenes of dinosaurs tearing at the exposed flesh of incapacitated human prey.

A couple of the breathlessly staged set pieces owe an obvious debt to the Jurassic Park and World franchises in their nerve-shredding execution but Mitchell engineers his own standout moment of skin-crawling mayhem with a creature that slithers quietly out of a backyard swimming pool. One interspecies skirmish elicits unintentional laughter then redeems itself with a ruthless pay-off.

Hathaway and McGregor commit wholeheartedly to their feuding spouses' conflicting responses to threat. She embraces cold, hard realism and prefers to act on instinct while he languishes in a state of denial shrouded in cheerful optimism.

"We're going to survive and wait for the lights to take us back!" Greg calmly informs his clan. On Oak Street at least, walking into the light might just be salvation.

DON'T SAY GOOD LUCK

CERT CLA, ON METEUS NOW ★★★

Taking its title from theatrical superstition, Julia Hart's tender rites-of-passage drama navigates familiar growing pains with elan and tests the acting mettle of Adam Sandler's teenage daughter Sunny as a self-doubting theatre kid, whose big break in her high school's musical coincides with a devastating medical diagnosis close to home. Saltwater deluges in the film's anguished second half are undeniable.

Fifteen-year-old Sophie Birenbaum (Sandler) is poised to

audition for a role in the musical, Waitress, when a butt dial from her father's mobile reveals that Sophie's mother Elizabeth (Melanie Lynskey) is facing a new battle against cancer.

The high school student's world spins off its axis. Elizabeth and husband Ted (Max Greenfield) put on a brave face for the sake of Sophie and her twin brothers, and they call in Elizabeth's parents (Steve Buscemi and Bebe Neuwirth) for support.

Don't Say Good Luck rests heavily on the shoulders of Sandler and she copes admirably.

Two centrepiece heart-to-hearts between Sophie and her parents

wring co-stars Lynskey and Greenfield dry. The first fails, by a hair's breadth, to land with full emotional force while the second wreaks maximum devastation.

Soundtracking Sophie's inner turmoil to the songbook of Waitress, a heartwarming story of impending motherhood and new beginnings, is a masterstroke. Sara Bareilles' music and lyrics to the show's barnstorming ballad, a meditation on a loss of self in the eye of a storm, resonate deeply when sung by a daughter to a dying mother: "She is gone, but she used to be mine". My floodgates sprung open.

AUTHOR OF THE WEEK

Robert Peston

ITV's political editor talks life, death and stress and the dark side of AI, a subject of his new thriller

Strutting around a stage in the back room of a pub, belting out Blondie's One Way Or Another and Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe may not seem a natural environment for ITV's political editor Robert Peston. But he throws himself into performing with Centrist Dad, a band he set up, featuring Peston on vocals and his pal, former shadow chancellor Ed Balls, on drums. Other members include the Radio 4 Front Row presenter John Wilson.

"It is definitely a form of therapy," he muses, while taking a well-earned break from his job on ITV, in the wake of yet another new Prime Minister and what has seemed like a decade of political mayhem.

"I think we were all hoping after the last election it would just be a bit dull and boring for a bit. But it hasn't turned out that way," the 66-year-old says.

"Writing thrillers is part of my escape, but the music is my principal way of just cutting off from the world. When we are rehearsing, all the misery of the world is locked out and we're 13-year-old boys again. It's a very innocent pleasure."

It also helps Robert, who has a history of OCD and ADHD, with his acute anxiety, which started as a teenager and carried on into adulthood, with rituals like not walking on the cracks in the pavement.

He and Ed Balls have known each other since the mid-90s and Robert recalls visiting his pal in Yorkshire years ago and noticing he had a drum kit, so assumed he could play.

"When he joined (the band), Ed wasn't an accomplished drummer, but like everything that Ed does, if he decides to do something,

he massively commits and he's now a pretty good drummer."

They only perform to raise money for charity and Robert recalls Sir Keir Starmer, Ed Miliband and Yvette Cooper (Ed's wife and now Health Secretary) attended their first gig in London in 2023.

"There was this moment where I launched into the Sex Pistols' Anarchy In The UK. According to Tom Ruldivis's book about Starmer (Keir Starmer: The Biography), which I understand is completely true, Starmer turns to Ed Miliband and says, 'Under no circumstances are you to sing along to Anarchy In The UK.'"

Writing political thrillers is another way he lowers his stress levels and The Kill Switch, is the third in his series featuring fictional

investigative journalist Gil Peck – who has distinct similarities to him – and journalist Jess Neeskens, who have an unexpected scoop when the Prime Minister becomes unwell, collapses mid-interview on their podcast, and later dies. It is found that she's been injected with a novel virus.

Then begins the hunt for the killer, as they discover that the PM had blocked a contract for a major tech company to manage public sector systems, including the NHS, which they suspect led to her assassination. AI – and its possibilities – features heavily.

"My big obsession for three years has been artificial intelligence and essentially the good and the bad of it. The good is, harnessed in the right way, it can make us more productive and richer as a society."

"But the negative side is potentially hugely serious and troubling, which is the AI super

"The great creators of AI, the experts, warn about the risk of AI becoming this artificial superintelligence which just decides to rework its own code to eliminate all the protections that the developers have put in to protect humanity."

He's also concerned that AI will end up replacing people in a vast number of jobs. "If millions of people are losing their jobs,

where are the tax revenues going to come from to pay for our schools and hospitals? These are the big questions that I wish our political leaders were focused on.

"During the General Election in 2024, I would say to Tom Bradby (ITV's News At Ten presenter) every night, that the problem with general elections is that nobody's talking about the biggest economic and social trend of our time, namely AI."

Away from work, he has also had his share of turmoil. His wife of 14 years, novelist Sián Busby, with whom he has a son, Max, and stepson, Simon, died from lung cancer in 2012, aged 51. He threw himself into work to distract himself from the grief.

"I'm lucky that I love what I do for a living, so I think I used work and journalism as a pain killer, an analgesic."

However, taking the notes for his late wife's final book to write up so it could be published, proved the final emotional straw.

"Reading through her notes was overwhelmingly upsetting and exhausting."

Two months later, he collapsed, experiencing agony in every joint, was hospitalised and diagnosed with reactive arthritis. Over a period of months it subsided.

"It was my body just saying to me, 'Stop! Take time for yourself, don't use your tendency to be hyperactive.' When we've had a catastrophe in our lives like the death of a wife, we all need time to grieve and try to understand who we are."

He went on to have an eight-year relationship with journalist Charlotte Edwardes, which ended amicably early last year, and met his partner, artist Nell Breyer, at a Christmas party,

although it's a long-distance relationship as she lives in New York and he lives in London.

"There's a lot of travelling, but I'm feeling very fortunate to have found this lovely person," he says. "We're spending most of the summer together, which is nice."

His mother died in February and Robert believes he takes more time to grieve and understand himself these days.

"Fundamentally, I became less scared in the sense when you are with somebody as brave as she was, and she was extraordinarily brave, but also when the most important person in your life dies, it makes you realise we do only have one life and you've got to stop being scared and do the stuff you want to do."

FOUR NEW BOOKS TO READ THIS WEEK

YESTERDAY & BOTH WOMEN BETHWEN YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW BY LUAN GOLDIE, HARDBACK, £16.99 Glasgow-born Goldie returns with another accomplished work of literary fiction, delivering the emotionally rich, character-driven storytelling that has become her trademark.

After suffering a loss in tragic circumstances, Zoe struggles to understand who she is and what life looks like in the aftermath of grief. A chance request from her boss brings her into the orbit of her witty and charismatic colleague Cian, and together they slowly begin to emerge from the walls they've built around themselves. As their connection deepens, they must decide whether they're finding comfort in loneliness, or whether they can overcome their baggage and allow themselves the possibility of something more. Beautifully written, this is a tender exploration of love, loss, and moving forward after trauma. 8/10

EDEN FALLS BY ALAY CHOWDHURY HARDBACK, £18.99 After Eir Adam Stone vanishes from Delhi airport, his wife Aisha is forced to team up with his former partner Sara Wolf to uncover a series of clues and locate a mysterious object lying at the heart of his disappearance.

Set in a world that feels alarmingly close to our own, this novel raises questions on artificial intelligence, governmental corruption, and the power wielded by tech billionaires. The novel's multi-narrative structure keeps the suspense high, allowing the reader to closely follow a cat-and-mouse-style chase as Sara and Aisha are pursued by different authorities. The thought-provoking ideas around science and technology, combined with a thrilling plot, make Eden Falls a truly gripping read. 8/10

HELLO BABY BY KIM EID-KYUNG, TRANSLATED BY SORA KIM-BUSSELL PAPERBACK, £14.99 Kim Eui-kyung's cult South Korean feminist novel tracks six women going through the process of trying to conceive through IVF at a top clinic in Seoul.

They share all of their hopes and fears in a WhatsApp group until one of them, Jeong-Hyo, stops replying. A year later, she announces she has had a baby. The women prepare to visit, but with questions of their own. Hello Baby hits all the notes you would expect: difficult partners, trickier in-laws, and the precarious balance between the dream of having children and work. Most of all, it is about the support between friends, but also the uncomfortable competitive jealousy as they seek the same result. It will resonate with many millennials, and the late twist is worth waiting for. 8/10

ANNE JACOBSEN BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO BY ANNE JACOBSEN HARDBACK, £12 Reading Jacobsen's account of how a genetically engineered plague could escape from a laboratory and wipe out humanity often feels more like a science-fiction novel than the serious work of non-fiction that it is.

Pieced together from interviews with senior US officials and scientific experts, it shows how an invisible microorganism could obliterate the world's richest and most scientifically advanced nation. It is a terrifying investigation of what lurks on the nightmarish fringes of reality, written with the pace of a thriller. Jacobsen shows us how such a disease, weaponised for use in biological warfare, could spread, leaving only the most determined survivors. That it seems so unreal is perhaps the mark of an unwillingness to face its possibility. 8/10

PODCASTS NOW HEAR THIS

With KAY HARRISON

GUZ AND KIELL WILL NOT SURVIVE...

You discover a new podcast that's so fresh and funny you spit your tea out. Do you: treat yourself to one episode a week to eke out the enjoyment? Never listen again, for fear of stains? Binge the lot in 24 hours, then feel a hole in your life?

With would-be adventurers Guz Khan and Kieff Smith-Bynoe in this Audible Original, I made my decision. And must now cling to the hope of a series two.

Part choose-your-own-adventure comedy, part survival guide, the laughs and deaths are relentless, with the comic actors "waking" in six extreme environments, from the Australian Outback to the North Pole, via the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan, and trying to select the path to safety. All from the comfort of the podcasting studio.

Sound rich and smartly edited, with Guz and Kieff sharp, silly, and clearly having fun, it brings home the beauty of audio, transporting you to jellyfish-infested waters, frozen rivers, treacherous deltas and savage swamps.

Death is familiar territory for Kieff, who played Mike in BBC hit Ghosts. Navigating minus Google Maps is not. He "couldn't recognise the North Star out of a line up".

Man Like Mobeen and Taskmaster star Guz is equally, gleefully useless.

Lucky for them, cool-headed

HA-HA HA-HA, STAYING ALIVE... STAYING ALIVE

wilderness guide Megan Hine is on hand from the afterlife when disease, infection, heat and hippos strike. Megan, known for her work alongside Bear Grylls, is "so tough if she was a sirloin steak you'd complain to the chef".

Bringing lifesaving intel and wild personal anecdotes, she repeatedly dumps the boys back in their danger zones to finish the job. She is the perfect counterbalance to their recklessness, and how she keeps a straight face dealing with them is a skill in itself.

Valuable lessons hit from all angles – on altitude sickness and hypothermia, billabong rights and wrongs, why stress can make you see things, how to deal with angry bears and kangaroos, the musical tastes of stampeding cows – allowing them to best use the confusing items they find in their bags each episode.

"We're terribly sorry, but this programme is full of bad language and absolutely riddled with stupid decisions," we're warned.

It's all wickedly brilliant. Long live Guz and Kieff.

ALL THAT WE TOUCH: WIKIPEDIA

In January 2001, Wikipedia went live. The world's free encyclopaedia is now part of the online furniture, one of our top 10 most visited sites, and this series looks into how it works and if we can trust it.

From Impact Studios at Sydney's University of Technology, which turns weighty academic research into punchy pods, it's a fascinating rummage around something we take for granted that's powered by a simple but revolutionary idea: anyone, anywhere can help build it. There's

also advice on how to use it better, as a teacher, student, editor, or someone wanting to know if Noah Wyle is married. Simon Knight, formerly of the Wikimedia Foundation UK, which supports Wikipedia volunteers, gets involved in a quiz episode, with questions on who vets articles, funding and how AI is changing things.

DEFEND AND ATTACK: THE JOHN BARNES PODCAST

Catch the former England and Liverpool star if you can, who has a master plan: tackling football's biggest issues, with fan interaction and guest interviews mixed with stories from his time on the pitch. And why that rap won't go away.

Firing questions at him is Simon O'Brien (forever Brookside's Damon) and they make a solid team – just two episodes in, clips have generated more than one million views on social media. Learn if any Scouse slang rubbed off on John during his 10 years

playing for Liverpool, his thoughts on whether selling Harry Kane affected the whole Spurs team, and if he really knows where Millwall is. It's fast-paced and warming up nicely for the Premier League season. Non-footie chatter, too, especially on men's health and John's experience of prostate cancer. Well played, Barnsey.

VOICE-CONTROLLED DESK FAN

Compact enough for a desk yet powerful enough to move air across a whole room, the Air Pro 10in (25cm) Desk Fan answers to nothing more than a spoken word. It brings together hands-free control, wide-reaching airflow and quiet running in one neat unit.

CONTROL IT BY VOICE, REMOTE OR TOUCH

The standout feature is voice control that works entirely offline. Responding to more than 40 preset commands, it lets you turn it on, adjust the speed, start the oscillation or set the timer without getting up or reaching for a phone - with no wi-fi, no app

and no setup. Every command is processed inside the fan itself, so nothing you say is tracked or sent to the cloud. A remote and touch panel offer two further ways to adjust it, and that simplicity makes it genuinely easy to use for anyone who would rather not reach for the controls.

POWERFUL AIRFLOW, WIDE REACH

Featuring an energy-efficient 45W copper motor, the fan drives a strong, steady airflow that reaches up to 90ft (27m) - further than many fans manage - and is built to run longer and more quietly than a standard motor. Six speeds carry you from a gentle breeze

to full circulation, while the head oscillates 90 degrees vertically and 60 degrees horizontally, sending air up, over and side to side so the whole room feels the benefit.

QUIET, DAY OR NIGHT

At around 20dB, it runs quietly enough for a bedroom or nursery, and three modes - natural, regular and sleep - tailor the airflow to the moment. A 12-hour timer lets it run only as long as you need, and you can add a little fragrance to freshen the breeze.

USEFUL ALL YEAR ROUND

It remains useful well beyond summer, too. Set beside a heater

in the cooler months, it circulates warm air evenly around the room rather than letting it settle in one corner. A remote and carry handle are included.

Quiet 10in (25cm) desk fan 3 modes: natural, regular and sleep 6 speed settings 90ft (27m) airflow reach 90 vertical and 60 horizontal oscillation 3-way control: touch, remote and voice

TODAY'S TV ONES TO WATCH

by MIKE WARD TV critic

Pick of the day SURGERY SECRETS OF THE SUPER RICH, C4, 8PM

ALEXANDER ARMSTRONG IN SRI LANKA, S. 8PM

If you'd like to see how they make toilet paper from elephant dung, you've come to the right place.

Or, rather, Alexander Armstrong has. Visiting a Sri Lankan elephant sanctuary, he asks if there's anything he can do to help. The guy says yes, and hands him a shovel.

Amazingly, an elephant is capable of producing up to "100kg of dung a day" (he actually says "poo", not "dung", but obviously I don't want to confront you with the word "poo" if you're reading this over your breakfast), and so his task is to collect some for the on-site factory where it's cleverly turned into loo rolls and more.

BEETHOVEN'S SEVENTH AT THE PROMS B.B.C4, 7PM

Here are some facts about Beethoven's Seventh. Can you spot the odd one out?

• (1) It was first performed in 1813, at a charity do for wounded soldiers.
• (2) Its second movement, arranged for voices, features in a Seventies sci-fi film where Sean Connery wears a red nappy and thigh-high boots. Check if you don't believe me.
• (3) Wagner called it dance in its highest form, "the loftiest deed of bodily motion incorporated in an ideal mould of tone".
• (4) Beethoven replied: "I've no idea what you're on about, mate."

BEST DETECTIVE

THE HAWONESSER MYSTERIES B.B.C4, 7PM

Lily is on the case when Halloween arrives, along with a crimewave. But when she makes a chilling discovery, has someone taken the law into their own hands?

FORKING OUT TO GO UNDER THE KNIFE

WHENEVER I watch this show, I ask myself the same question. Not: "Isn't there anything better on?" (I'm well aware there is) but: "Would I, if I had the money, have one of these treatments myself?"

And the answer is always: "No! Of course not! I'd have several. I might even have them all."

I'd certainly follow the example of Katie from Cheshire, who's having a mini-facelift. The price apparently starts at £9,500. I'd pay twice that and ask for the maxi.

I'd also have my fat cells (I have loads to spare) injected into my face, like beauty writer Emma, to target my under-eye shadows. Not that shadows are what I really have. Nor do I have bags. What I have are suitcases. Big ones. So big that easyJet

routinely charge me an excess baggage fee. Roughly £9,000 would also buy me the hair transplant ex-footballer James is having. That's assuming I could face the procedure. It lasts for eight hours (as Malcolm's mum used to tell him in the Vicks Sinex advert).

But seriously, where does it all end? If someone insists they must look "perfect", will there ever come a time when they finally think they do?

Treatment-wise, won't they always want one more? Rather like Pringles.

So, to return to that question – "Isn't there something better on?" – the answer is: "Yes! Because Friday night on BBC4 is Prehistoric TOP OF THE POPS Night."

The further back those old episodes take us, the more vividly we're reminded of when

looking "perfect" wasn't a consideration, even for big stars. Just look at David Bowie's Seventies teeth next time he's on.

Mind you, there were some stars, even decades ago, who wanted to look tip-top, albeit in the more traditional hair and make-up sense.

Stars such as EastEnders' Anita "Angie Watts" Dobson, who's on the 10.05pm episode. It's 1986, and Anita is performing her hit Anyone Can Fall In Love, sung to the EastEnders theme tune.

"Anyone Can Fall In Love," it goes, scanning perfectly with that familiar melody. "That's the easy part / You must keep it going."

Or, in our house: "Dirty Den's an evil rat/ Can we have him shot? / The bloke's got it coming..."

BEST ENTERTAINMENT

THE ONE SHOW AT 20 B.B.C4, 7PM

Alex Jones and her co-host Roman Kemp bring together some of the biggest names, favourite stories and standout moments from the last 20 years of the show.

BEST DRAMA

BERGERAC B.B.C4, 8PM

The cops may well be feeling like they are no closer to solving the case when a revelation about the night of Cate's murder changes absolutely everything.

BEST SITCOM

ANN ORGIO B.B.C4, 10, 40PM

Linda (Diane Morgan) causes chaos at a campsite for Sue (Sue Johnston) and things get worse when they put some space between them and their fellow campers.

GARDEN STORAGE

THAT LOOKS THE PART

Garden storage doesn't have to be purely practical. With its attractive yellow wood-grain finish, this spacious 8x7ft metal shed combines generous storage with a warmer, more decorative appearance that complements a wide range of outdoor spaces. Whether positioned against a fence, wall, or within the garden, it offers a stylish way to keep everyday essentials protected and organised.

DESIGNED TO BLEND IN

The contemporary wood- grain finish gives this shed a softer, more natural look than a traditional metal building, while the pent roof allows it to sit neatly against walls and boundaries

to make the most of available space. Its clean design blends comfortably into both modern and traditional gardens.

ROOM FOR EVERYTHING

Inside, the generous interior provides plenty of space for gardening tools, watering cans, compost, pots, outdoor furniture cushions, and seasonal equipment. Wide double doors make loading larger items simple, while the lockable design and supplied keys help keep valuable belongings secure.

BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS

Constructed from zinc-coated steel cladding with a galvanised steel frame, this shed is designed

to withstand year-round weather while requiring very little maintenance. Integrated ventilation openings encourage airflow to help reduce moisture build-up and keep stored items in better condition throughout the seasons.

Combining generous capacity with attractive styling, this shed offers a practical storage solution that enhances rather than dominates your outdoor space. It's an ideal choice for anyone looking to keep their garden organised without compromising on appearance.

Wood-grain metal finish Several windows for natural light Lockable outward-opening double doors Two air vents improve airflow and reduce moisture Made from weather-resistant steel Self-assembly required: 2 people recommended Dimensions: H207 x W241 x D218 cm

TODAY: Friday August 14, 2026

ON THIS DAY

Clueless Labour chancers' six stages of incompetence

APART from the most fanatical Labour supporters, is anyone taken in by the latest piece of Labour theatre currently playing in the media ("Every police chief demands block on early release of two Harper killers", August 13)?

Step one: On hearing the outrage at the early release of killers, ignore it and hope it goes away.

Step two: Express contrite sorrow that nothing can be done to stop it.

Step three: State your intention to stop the releases relentlessly despite all legal obstacles.

Step four: Pass the buck to another department, step back, and say it is nothing to do with me.

Step five: Find a way to stop the releases and announce it with a fanfare to claim all the credit.

Step six: When nobody is looking, laugh about how easy it is to fool the public with Labour spin.

We are approaching step five. Dave Austin, Chalfont St Peter, Bucks

PM Andy will be judged on response to PC's killers

AMEER Kotecha, CEO of the Centre for Government Reform, is absolutely right regarding the level of public anger that two of the killers of PC Andrew Harper stand to be released after serving just half of their 13-year sentences (Comment, August 12).

Andy Burnham needs to realise he is Prime Minister and ultimately in charge, not government lawyers. If it is in the interests of the British people to legislate regarding the early release of prisoners, he needs to take action to implement this.

The killing of emergency services personnel in the line of duty is an issue the public is deeply incensed about, and Burnham will be judged on this.

Julie Foster, Burnley, Lancs

Migrants feeling Burnham bounce on a mega dinghy

WE HEAR much of the so-called "Burnham bounce" but it does nothing to bounce illegal migrants back to their origins. It is ironic that a great country is being deflated by inflatables ("PM: We'll have to change tactics over mega dinghies", August 12).

Burnham's oratory about valuing hard hats as much as graduation caps means nothing unless those on mega dinghies face mass deportation. Without action, there is no future for British children – vocationally trained or otherwise.

Dr Steven Welsh, Stornoway, Western Isles

Cheaper accommodation and swifter processing

FOLLOWING a record arrival of 230 asylum seekers on a small boat, the Prime Minister may think moving them to leafy suburbs hides the problem ("Leafy villages" must accept more asylum seekers, insists Burnham", August 12).

It does not. It merely stirs tension in areas where residents pay high costs, only to see others receive subsidised rents. The real issue is

LETTER OF THE DAY

Freed to kill, double murderer and rapist Simon Levy

Blood on the hands of CPS and police

A JUDGE has imposed a whole-life order on Simon Levy for the murder of two women ("Sex predator Levy will die in prison", August 13). Prior to these crimes he assaulted and raped a woman in January 2025. Despite being identified by his victim while already on bail, he was inexplicably released.

In March 2025, he murdered Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo and was released again, despite leaving DNA at the scene. By August 2025, he murdered Sheryl Wilkins.

The Crown Prosecution Service seriously derelict its duties; prosecuting him earlier would have saved lives. British Transport Police also failed to act on video evidence. Someone must be held accountable.

David Hardman, Morley, Derbys

entry numbers. We need cheap accommodation and stringent criteria for rapid processing, not spreading the problem further.

Diane Silva, Bournemouth, Dorset

Place asylum seekers near elite, see how they like it

QUESTIONS are being asked about whether illegal migrants should be housed in middle-class areas.

My question is, why not? Why not in upper-class areas too? Why should the lower social classes have to witness the awful goings-on? Maybe when the middle and upper classes have these problems on their doorstep, something will get done to remove them. We are not a two-tier country now, are we?

Anne Jones, Stalybridge, Cheshire

Secure camps and armed guards to halt invasion

WE MUST stop providing asylum seekers with houses, cars, mobile phones and money.

Instead, keep them in secure camps with armed guards and halt application processing.

Opening more legal routes fails because those who drop out simply turn to small boats. Stop hoping

they will blend in by dispersing them into HMOs.

Bob Edge, Bolton, Lancs

'Look at me' performative politics just won't wash

THE Labour Party has more than 400 MPs, so the Government should already know what the population wants. Yet Andy Burnham is touring the country, asking selected voters what they want just for the benefit of the press ("Hollow ring to PM's high street hysteria", August 13).

This is pure performative politics. He already knows what the problems are; he should stay in Westminster and fix them.

Richard Williams, Valentia Island, Ireland

Blinkered socialists have odd definition of affluence

PMANDY Burnham's definition of affluence appears to be anyone who is not living on Income Support.

Ian Barratt, Maldon, Essex

Out with the automaton and in with the simpleton

I'M AFRAID the Labour Party has replaced its leader, an automaton,

with a simpleton. Poor, hapless Andy Burnham just wants to be Mr Nice Guy, seeking cross-party agreement. He wants no mud-slinging or blame-gaming, so we can all enjoy the tongue-biting, tortured faces of his ministers not being allowed to blame everything on 14 years of Tory misrule.

Roy Daniels, Kingsclere, Hants

Express readers a canny bunch who nail the truth

WELL said to your correspondents. The lunatics really are running the asylum, and they are the Labour government and the judiciary.

Sue Silverman, Wembley, Middx

Build desalination plants not HS2 vanity projects

WE ARE now in our fifth heatwave, and not only face a hosepipe ban but are officially in a drought ("Summer set to be hottest on record", August 12). I have suggested to my MP to raise a debate in the Commons regarding the building of desalination plants.

We need to concentrate on important life-saving projects, not vanity projects like HS2.

Graham Chambers, Rushden, Northants

WHEELS HAVE COME OFF PERILOUS, FAILED E-SCOOTER EXPERIMENT

THE Department for Transport has suddenly woken up to the danger ("E-scooter accidents leaving hundreds of children hurt", August 12). Its predictable response is to pass more laws, which will achieve very little and go largely unenforced.

It is not just the riders who are in danger as

pedestrians must share pavements with these powerful, erratically driven vehicles.

They are often ridden with total impunity. This will continue until we build the dedicated infrastructure needed to segregate them from traffic and pedestrians.

Mike Crump, Bridgnorth, Salop

65 years ago (1961) Our front page reported East German troops had floodlit barbed wire barricades and were ordered to shoot anyone trying to escape East Berlin, in an attempt to block the flow of refugees to the West. On what became known as "Barbed Wire Sunday", communist police turned lorry-mounted water hoses on large crowds of protesters. Four days later the barriers were replaced with the first concrete blocks of what would become the Berlin Wall.

47 years ago (1979) Fifteen sailors died in the Fastnet yacht race when a violent storm suddenly blew up on the west side of the English Channel. The Royal Navy and other ships pulled 125 yachtsmen from the sea. Following the disaster new safety regulations were put in place and the race was limited to 300 yachts.

85 years ago (1941) President Franklin D Roosevelt and UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill met for talks off the coast of Newfoundland to reaffirm the two countries' alliance. Held aboard USS Augusta, their talks led to the Atlantic Charter setting out their vision for a peaceful post-war world.

NUTWOOD TALES

RUPERT AND THE ANGRY SEA No.17

"A talking fish!" cries Fern. "Flimflam!" "No, Rupert never fibs," says Sam.

Rupert runs back to tell his tale

And why the fishing's bound to fail.

Rupert races back to tell Jem and Sam about the fish and what he has learned from it – that the squalls are a sign of King Neptune's anger with Cocklesands. It's plain that Jem doesn't believe a word of his story. At least, he doesn't until Sam says, "It may sound farfetched, Jem, but I've known Rupert a long time and upon my word, he never tells fibs. If he says it happened, then it did. Besides, when I was at sea I heard tales of Neptune's wrath – and of talking fish too."

Time to ditch stamp duty on shares says bank boss

STAMP duty on shares should be scrapped in the Budget to boost trading from retail investors, says a banking chief and former Labour Party donor.

Ian Corfield, the boss of Secure Trust Bank, said one of the firm's "biggest challenges is trying to generate liquidity into the stock."

He spent five months as the Treasury's director of investment when Labour came to power in 2024 but stepped down following accusations of cronyism due to his past as a party donor.

Asked what he wants to see in the Budget this autumn, Mr Corfield said: "The biggest handbrake on this business is people having to pay tax when they're buying a share."

He described the 0.5% levy as a "blocker for retail investors".

Ousted Chancellor Rachel Reeves introduced a three-year stamp duty holiday for new listings in her 2025 Budget. But the move has failed to excite some of the top listing prospects in the financial sector.

Paul Taylor, CEO of banking software firm Thought Machine, previously said Reeves' changes were not "big enough to

BY SAMUEL NORMAN

really change anybody's mind either for or against". Her successor John Healey will face pressure to give the economy a much-needed boost and go further in improving the liquidity issues facing the market.

Mr Corfield said that boosting retail investment would be "key" for the UK's wealth generation.

But the banking industry is also fighting off mounting calls for a fresh tax on the sector following booming profits confirmed by the top firms.

Campaignors have suggested a £19bn windfall tax could be raised from the coffers

Natwest, Lloyds, Barclays and HSBC alone. Secure Trust does not currently pay the 3% banking surcharge on corporation tax, which applies to profits north of £100m. Mr Corfield said hiking tax on banks would be "inappropriate".

His comments came as Secure Trust – listed on London's main market and valued at around £300m – posted a £31.3m profit for the first half of the year, up 9.4%. Its stock has risen 19% in five years.

BINGO CLOSURES ON CARDS IF TAXES RISE

Rank warns bingo halls will shut if suggested tax rise is introduced

BINGO halls are at risk if Andy Burnham commits to a £46£million hike on gambling taxes, the boss of Rank Group has warned.

CEO Richard Harris - whose stable includes Mecca Bingo - said: "Tax proposals from anti-gambling campaigners continue to cast clouds over a regulated industry that is proud to support jobs." Rank said it paid

more than £225m in taxes last year and warned the government against further hikes on the gambling industry.

The Social Market Foundation think tank suggested the PM could raise tax on slot and fruit machines from 20% to 40%.

Harris said higher gambling taxes would mean "much-loved bingo halls and casinos will be forced to close".

Airline sold in £5.7bn deal

EasyJet investors face turbulence after takeover

EASYJET shareholders risk having their stake seized unilaterally and stand little chance of a dividend if they stick with the airline once its takeover is complete.

Papers filed after private equity juggernaut Apollo won the holding war for the carrier reveal the cost to investors.

The documents show those who roll

their shares into the new vehicle may lose their stake in a "compulsory transfer". They will also be barred from any active role in easyJet's governance following the £5.7billion deal.

Meanwhile, New York-based Apollo will pay itself a dividend worth 14% of its stake a year without handing any

cash to other shareholders. EasyJet founder Stelios Haji Ioannou and his family are set to retain their significant shareholding following the deal. But easyJet's credit rating could plummet to junk as it would be loaded with more than £3bn of debt used by Apollo.

Both outfits declined to comment.

Ashley firm bags Harvey Nichols

MIKE Ashley's Frasers Group has bought Harvey Nichols, plucking the struggling luxury department store from the jaws of insolvency.

The Sports Direct and Flannels owner has acquired the chain's six stores, excluding the site in Dublin, through a pre-pack administration process for an undisclosed sum.

Frasers' acquisition marks the latest step in its push into the luxury fashion market.

The firm, founded by billionaire Ashley, saw off rival Next in the auction process.

The deal will secure the jobs of more than 1,000 staff, though Harvey Nichols employs around 1,200, suggesting some job losses.

Frasers said it will need to commit to "significant restructuring" of the retailer, which has posted five successive years of losses.

PORTABLE CEMENT MIXER FOR HOME JOBS

Mixing concrete by hand is slow, heavy work, and this Electric Portable Cement Concrete Mixer does away with all of it. The 450W electric motor turns the drum for you, blending concrete, mortar and render into a smooth, even mix while you get on with the rest of the job. It is sized for home and small commercial projects, so it earns its place whether you are laying a patio, setting posts or rendering a wall.

The 120-litre drum takes a decent batch at a time, and the sturdy steel body is built to keep going through years of outdoor use. Two wheels make it easy to move around the site

or garden, wherever the work is, and it arrives with the plug already fitted so there is nothing to set up. Finished in high-visibility yellow, it is ready to work from the moment it lands.

EASY TO GET OFF

By Melissa Jones

TOM CLOVER has given Fuel The Jet the go-ahead to represent his prominent team of young horses in the Tattersville Acomb Stakes at York on Wednesday.

The €190,000 purchase contributed to his Newmarket stable's 31 per cent strike rate with their juveniles in a Newbury novice on July 17.

Won by Europe's ill-fated champion two-year-old of 2025 Gewan last term, the race was over the Acomb distance of seven furlongs.

And after third-placed Rafe's The Man boosted the form at Glorious Goodwood and seventh-placed Clive The Writer also came out and won, Clover is keen to see how highly Fuel The Jet can rank in the Group Three contest.

"We think he deserves to take his chance," said the handler, right, on the back of a flurry of five winners from 17 runners in the past fortnight.

"The juveniles look like a nice bunch this year and we would like to think they will keep improving.

"Fuel The Jet has developed nicely in the last couple of months and his

work has been encouraging." Also making the 340-mile round trip to the Sacramento is two-time winner Round The Table, who holds a Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes on Wednesday, and Al Nayyir, contesting Friday's Group Two Weatherbys Lonsdale Cup Stakes for the third year on the trot.

"I love racing at York and we are keen to support the 'Ebor meeting," Clover added. "Al Nayyir loves it there too and it's great he's in the mix again.

"We've had the Great Voltigeur in the back of our minds for Round The Table — a left-handed mile-and-a-half should suit him and we feel he is high quality."

Debut winner Fall can land on his feet again

EVENFALL (4.45 ppi) is fended to time it right in Newbury's Statifolds Watch Weekend Winners EBF Flies' Conditions Stakes.

George Boughey's trainee has only raced once but his comfort is really good impression when finding the odds at Yarmouth.

A little green from the state. Special ones soon bite her stride and treaded a decent pace set by Airdalees.

The second favourite track is stretching selection, but she picked him up and galloped clear for a tough and three-quarter supremacy from subsequent scorer Master Man.

Eventall has several interesting force including Codolphin's Sorrengali, but she holds multiple Group race

entries which suggests this event is well within her remorse.

Karl Burke also has high hopes for the once-joiner VAZE (4.90.19) as he has put the AVNOON practice in Newbury's Group Two Mill Reef Stakes next month.

Redeem up at York do Cut A Ditch, a horse who then finished a class fourth in the Country. Havana Grey's son has had a 95-day hitch since his debut effort and is backed to fight that process at Toronto.

FREE WORLD (8.10, 11p) missed a lower grade race this week to unit for Newmarket's Racing Welfare Apparelers. Handicap and is well-weighted based on his recent runaway success.

ATHLETICS: EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

FAST & HUMOR

Gold star Hudson-Smith takes aim at critics of Birmingham showpiece

BY PAUL MARTIN in

Birmingham

MATTHEW HUDSON-SMITH blasted the 'negativity' surrounding the European Championships as he called for athletes to use their profiles to promote the sport.

The 31-year-old celebrated a historic third individual men's 400m gold by climbing into the stand bearing his name for the week on his home track in Birmingham.

But there were plenty of empty seats at the Alexander Stadium for the coronation of one of their own, which has been the case throughout the week.

Organisers insist they are 'delighted' with ticket sales, with nearly 200,000 sold across the week and stands set to be filled this weekend.

Hudson-Smith, who led from start to finish on Wednesday night and won in 44.17, said: 'At the end of the day, we need to promote the sport with quicker times. People came. Could it have been more? Yes, but I'm not going to complain.'

'On the TV, they are very negative. We need to be more positive and speak about what we can do, not just bash.

'Everyone wants to be a footballer; I wanted to be a footballer myself before I transitioned to track. We need to branch it out.'

Hudson-Smith described this week as 'my London 2012' in the build-up and used every ounce of local knowledge to land his third

individual European triumph over one lap.

It was his fifth continental gold in all as he joined France's Christophe Lemaitre as the most decorated man in this competition's history with eight medals.

Hudson-Smith said: 'Words can't explain how much it meant to me. No one was going to beat me here.

'I know this track, I know where the wind is, I know the surface, I know the staff. I know the back ways to get in. My tag is probably still in the toilets from when I was nine years old.

'I want to inspire the next generation, show them we can do this and show the other cities that here in Birmingham and Wolverhampton, West Mids are the best kids.'

Hudson-Smith became a father himself last year and dedicated this triumph to his daughter Eden as he reflected on a journey which has been far from linear. They say it takes a village, but this took a city, he said. 'It has been well documented there have been dark times, but everyone has got me to this point now.

'I always want to say if I can do it, anyone can do it and be a beacon of light for people to keep pushing.'

Radford's a Warrior

RUGBY LEAGUE

BY DAN TOMLINSON

LEE RADFORD rolled back the years with a run-out alongside his sons, more than a decade after finishing his playing career.

Scotland's rugby union defence coach, 47, turned out for Hull-based Myton Warriors against Moldgreen in the National Conference League – an amateur rugby league competition.

And the former Hull FC and Bradford Bulls back row scored a try in the 32-10 victory, appearing alongside his sons Logan and Brad, with the latter named man of the match.

"It was a boyhood dream to play at half-back,"

Radford (right) said. "I couldn't have picked a hotter day to play or a harder ground to play on, but apart from that it was class."

Radford left Northampton after their Prem victory in June and is looking forward to the World Cup with Scotland.

"It's a national sport and it thrives off the international game, whereas rugby league thrives off the domestic game," Radford added.

"I can't wait for what's ahead."

RIVAL KEELS OVER BUT IS BACK TO FACE HODGKINSON

BY PAUL MARTIN

KEELY HODGKINSON kept her bid for a European half-trick on track on a dramatic afternoon which saw her main rival Audrey Werro take a tumble – before being remitted for the final.

Hodgkinson won the second semi-final in 157.38, holding off Femke Broeders' Bol to advance to the final tonight.

The opening semi was

dominated by Werro before she hit the deck on the final bend (below).

She picked herself up to stumble over the finish line and a successful appeal means the 22-year-old

will also be on the start line in the final.

Hodgkinson (right) said: "You can't worry about what happened to other people, but I hope she's OK."

ZHARNEL'S OIL TRACK

BY PAUL MARTIN

ZHARNEL HUGHES believes he can continue Britain's continental spinting dominance in tonight's men's 200m final.

"The 31-year-old won European gold over this distance in 2022 and cruised to victory in his semi-final in 2005."

Hughes (inset) crossed four-hundredths of a second clear of defending champion Timothe Mumenthaler. He is

the only man in the field with a sub-20 time under his belt in the past and feels back to his back after injury and him exit the Commonwealth Games at the semi-final stage.

"It was well executed and I did exactly what I was told to do," he said. French Office and Jeremiah Azu recorded a one-two in the men's 100m on Tuesday night and Hughes is eager to follow them.

Stray Jude finish is a let down for Rory

RORY McILROY suffered a costly run of late bogeys to slip to four over par in the opening round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.

The Northern Irishman had been hoping to rebuild momentum heading into the PGA Tour play-offs, following a run of disappointing results after the successful defence of his Masters title in April. McIlroy, 12th in the FedExCup standings, was in a marquee pairing at TPC Southwind alongside world No.1 Scottie Scheffler after skipping the event last year. A

wayward tee shot off the 16th saw McIlroy make bogey, while his second at the 17th bounced past the green towards the stands, costing him another shot. On the 18th, McIlroy put his tee shot into the water and then came up short in his approach, leading to a double bogey and a 74.

Scheffler finished at two under, while Brit Tommy Fleetwood shot 66, which included an eagle at the third. Scot Bob MacIntyre had four double bogeys in a nightmare 82.

WOLVES v BOWING FLOWER

Blackburn new boy hoping to put one over his boyhood club

WOIVES v BLACKBURN

Championship, Bridges, Sky Sports

BY KEITH WEBSTER SAM MORSY heads back to his hometown tonight, hoping to get Wolves' Championship return off to a miserable start.

The Black Country boy started his career in the youth ranks at Wolves before moving on to the likes of Chesterfield, Wigan and Ipswich.

Now, a month before his 35th birthday, the defensive midfielder has landed at Blackburn, who will journey down the M6 to Molineux as the season kicks off at the club who finished bottom of the Premier League last season.

"The first thing I did was look at the fixtures and, seeing Wolves is the first game, it's amazing," said Morsy, who started at Wolves aged eight. "I had a really good experience

there and a couple of years ago, during my time at Ipswich, we scored a last-minute winner there, so I have good memories.

"I was in the academy there until I was 16, I played the national cup final there when I was 14 and I scored. It was a long time ago, 20 years now!

"I always enjoy going to Molineux and I'm sure it will be a great game.

"I still know loads of people there within the club. There are really good people there, but it's about business on Friday night and getting some points on the board."

Manager Tony Mowbray is still

THE LIFE COACH Mowbray gets to know his target's before signing them

taking a long look at his new acquisition, who only signed on Monday, to see if he is properly up to speed but he knows he has brought in some real team value.

"The team needed a little bit more raw manliness," said Mowbray.

"We needed an experienced man. We've got Sean [McLoughlin], we've got [Adam] Forshaw and we've got experienced footballers but I felt we just needed a little bit more, somebody who was more animated.

"I'm pretty sure it won't be long until he forces his way into this team. I didn't tell him that he's coming in and he's starting on Friday with just two training sessions with the group. He's been training

with the PFA, so we need to get some data from him, but I would say I've been very happy with his first few days with the group.

"Listening to his voice, listening to the communication skills he's got. He can be a pain when he's not on your side. Now he is on our side, I'm hoping that he's going to be a pain to other teams."

Mowbray would like more new blood but insists there is more to buying players than simply handing over a fee.

"I like to talk to footballers before signing them and feel whether they love the game, whether they are enthusiastic about the club, what the reasons are why they might want to come to Blackburn.

"Then make an opinion after chatting to them and talking to them about their lives, their families, their aspirations.

"It's important I get to feel the human side of the footballer that's coming to the club."

SELLING UP Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha

LEICESTER OWNERS WANT OUT

BY JIM VAN WIJK LEICESTER'S Thai owners are reportedly seeking to offload the club.

The Foxes - who memorably celebrated a surprise Premier League title in 2016 - have dropped into League One this season after being docked six points for breaching the EFL's profit and sustainability rules. A BBC Sport report says Leicester have now commissioned a leading US investment bank to help find a buyer, with the club's assets

listed at more than £200million.

Leicester declined to comment on the reports. Thai owners King Power, run by the Srivaddhanaprabha family, bought Leicester from Milan Mandaric in 2010 for £35m, kicking off the most successful era in the club's history.

Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha took over as Leicester chairman following the death

of his father, Vichai, in a helicopter crash outside the stadium in 2018.

Following relegation from the Championship last season, the chairman said he should shoulder the "blame" for the club's predicament, but also stressed that the "structure will change" under new head coach Russell Martin (above).

Leicester start life in League One with a trip to Notts County on Saturday (12.30pm).

EXIST FOOTBALL: VILLA TEEN'S A DREAM

Mings loves Madjo's

never-say-die attitude

HE'S GOT A BIG FUTURE Madjo celebrates after his goal (for runs), and the strikers' debut increased Mings (mset)

2 THERE'S

NO STRIKE IN THE BRAIN

FROM JOHN TOWNLEY in Salzburg TYRONE MINGS marvelled at Brian Madjo's mental resilience as the Aston Villa striker refused to quit against Paris Saint-Germain.

At just 17 years old, Madjo spurned a handful of chances against the Champions League winners in Wednesday Super Cup.

But rather than letting it drag him down, the youngster kept knocking on the door until finally he produced a superb close-range volley to pull Villa level.

The teenage sensation, signed from FC Metz in January, had a rough time of it in the second half of last season, as he was unable to play after FIFA blocked his registration, before Villa successfully appealed the decision.

Madjo had scored four goals in six pre-season games before Villa faced PSG, and he was trusted by manager Unai Emery to lead the line in his competitive debut against the centre-back duo of Marquinhos and Willian Pacho, both experienced internationals.

Having passed up several chances, he won a physical duel at the back post before beating Matvei Safonov.

"Great lad," said Mings. "He has obviously had to be very patient until

he could play. That says a lot about his character. Mentally he is able to deal with setbacks.

"He missed a few chances and scored probably the hardest of them all. A fantastic guy.

"You could see the reaction of everybody when he scored. It shows just how much he deserved it and that we were willing him to do well. I am delighted for him.

"He's trained with us for a long time. So when he eventually got his chance to play, he was ready to play. He knew our system.

"I've had a few chats with him.

"He said he was nervous, of course. He's 17 and it's a huge game. But I did say to him, 'You get an amazing opportunity as a striker to just have one good moment and it can change everything for you.'

"I'm so glad that after missing a couple of chances, he got that goal. He's a very humble lad. Everybody wishes him all the best and hopefully he can contribute in a big way for us."

Asked if he has had any bruises from training with Madjo, Mings smiled and said: "He is a big old boy! But no, he has a high ceiling. He is difficult to play against.

"I hope he takes his goal and it fills him with confidence, and he can go on and contribute to the team."

NO MORE WOBBLY BRIDGE

Fofana says stability key for Alonso's era

WESLEY CRUSHER Chelsea's powerful defender is desperate to start winning trophies under Alonso

BY BOBBY VINCENT in Hong Kong WESLEY FOFANA was out of the sweltering Hong Kong heat and enjoying the cool, air-conditioned luxury of the Kerry Hotel in Hung Hom Bay.

In typical Fofana style, the pleasant introductory formalities soon gave way to a steely focus. Straight down to business.

The 25-year-old defender (celebrating, below) is a passionate man – and that came across with every answer he delivered in Hong Kong.

Alongside goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina, he is one of two survivors from BlueCo's first transfer window as owners of Chelsea in 2022. Although he was on the books when they won the UEFA Conference League and Club World Cup, he missed both through injury.

Winning silverware with Chelsea is an itch he wants to scratch, but he also feels Chelsea need a settled period. Appointing Xabi Alonso as manager, he feels, may be a big step in that direction.

"For a defender, you can't be good if your team is not good – it depends on the team. It is different to be a striker or a No.10," he said. "But when I'm fit, I perform and I help the team to win games and compete for titles."

"We now have a season without Champions League, without Europe, so it's good we can concentrate on the Premier League. We have a strong team, we can compete for everything. "We have a new manager, a very

good manager, and very good staff. Everything is good to compete for something. If I'm fit and I'm in good shape, I can help.

"Everyone knows we need stability. We talked last season with the directors and they said the same thing. They think the same way as the players. We need stability.

"The manager is a good person for that. We are a young team and he was an amazing player, so he knows the details, knows football. With this set-up, we can improve and be good enough to fight for everything."

Fofana was mocked for crying in the aftermath of the Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Arsenal by those who could not fathom how emotional he got.

But after surgery on a hamstring in April 2025 cost him a place in two finals, he is desperate to compete for honours.

"I want to win a trophy with the club because it was my dream to come to Chelsea," he said. "I won before with Leicester and when I came I had high ambitions.

"I wanted to win everything and it is still the same. When you lose and you're out, the fact it was against Arsenal as well, when you have the feeling that your team can do something and you do not achieve it, it is hard to accept.

"But now it is behind us. We have a new season. We are Chelsea, we must try to win everything, every game, every competition."

BEN'S COUNCIL CALL

BEN DAVIES has been appointed to the Football Association of Wales council.

Current Dragons captain Davies became the fourth Wales player to win 100 caps last October.

And the 33-year-old Tottenham defender's (left) appointment is part of the FAW's delivery of its Together Strender for the Future governance reforms.

The appointment of eight new council members,

which also includes Manchester City women's assistant manager Lauren Smith, will specifically represent coaches, players, supporters and young people in Welsh football.

FAW chief executive Noel Mooney said: "One of the ambitions of our governance reforms was to ensure the people helping shape the future of Welsh football better reflect the game we serve today.

"These appointments achieve exactly that."

DOKU HAS PROJECT PLAN

BY ALEX JAMES JEREMY DOKU vowed his best is yet to come after signing a new deal until 2031.

The Belgian (left), who also has a 12-month extension option, follows Phil Foden, Josko Gvardiol and Abdukodir Khusanov in extending their stays at Manchester City.

Doku, 24, delivered eight goals and a string of electrifying performances last season and has returned to training after helping Belgium reach the last eight of the World Cup.

He could now play a part in

the Community Shield against Arsenal in Cardiff on Sunday.

"I feel like last season was a good season," said Doku. "We won two trophies, went far for the Premier League title and Champions League. I just want to try to win everything.

"On a personal note, I just want to do every year better, grow more. When I look back, there were still a lot of games where I could have scored or had an assist. But compared to the other two seasons, there has been growth, positively. I'm still an unfinished project."

QUANTUM

Greek star on his aims at Gunners after replacing Trossard on wing

BY TOM CANTON CHRISTOS TZOLIS wants to begin his Arsenal career with a trophy in the FA Community Shield clash with Manchester City.

The Greece international has taken to his new club seamlessly, with four goal contributions and a penalty shootout-winning strike against Como in his first five games.

Having benefitted from an earlier start to pre-season with Club Brugge before his £34million move to Arsenal, it is perhaps no surprise the winger has looked so sharp.

"I feel I've adapted well," he said. "The guys helped me a lot on the pitch and also off the pitch.

"It was also important for me, and it was really nice, to have the pre-season from the beginning with my new team, and now to be ready for the official games. So I think it was a positive pre-season for me."

Tzolis came in to replace Leandro Trossard who was signed by Besiktas in a deal worth around £17m.

The Belgian had become a key player for Arsenal, scoring arguably the most important goal of the season away at West Ham in the closing stages of their title-winning campaign.

There are plenty of unknowns surrounding the 24-year-old Tzolis, but he made his feelings very clear regarding this weekend's Cardiff showdown against the FA Cup winners.

"It's a nice opportunity to start the

season with a trophy," he said. "That's our target and everyone is on the same page for this game and we hope we're going to show it on the pitch."

If the scores are level in Cardiff on Sunday after 90 minutes, the players will be spared the added burden of extra time, with the match going straight to a penalty shootout.

That will stir a few bitter memories for Gunners players who may still be pained from their defeat by the same method at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in June.

However, if Tzolis's strike in the spot-kick face-off with Como on Wednesday was anything to go by, it seems Mikel Arteta's side have a candidate for a new penalty taker.

"That was exactly how I wanted to shoot it, actually," Tzolis said regarding his penalty which was smashed into the left side-netting.

"Because I was with Kai [Havertz] in the middle line and he asked me, where are you going to shoot it? I said, 'There, very hard, and he said, 'I want to see it!'

"I hit it very good. I wanted to shoot like this and I'm happy that it was in, and it was a nice penalty."

FOOTBALL: PREMIER LEAGUE COUNTDOWN

CASHING IN Manchester City midfielder Reijnders

Saudis in move for Reijnders

BY ALEX JAMES MANCHESTER CITY midfielder Tijjani Reijnders is in advanced talks with Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah as a £50m deal nears.

Reijnders was present at City's open training session yesterday but did not take part and looks set to depart the Ethad just a year after arriving from AC Milan.

The Dutchman had attracted interest from Nottingham Forest this summer but it's Al-Qadsiah who are set to secure the 28-year-old's signature.

If and when Reijnders' exit is complete, City will look to add another midfielder and have been linked with Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez.

But the Stamford Bridge club have reportedly set a deadline of today for bids for the 25-year-old Argentina international.

Meanwhile, Savinho was also absent from training yesterday, though club sources have clarified the winger is ill.

The 22-year-old Brazilian is the subject of long-standing interest from Tottenham amid the prospect of a £60m move to the capital.

Vitor: Zan Swan of us

BY TOM COLEMAN VITOR MATOS insists Zan Vipotnik is happy to stay at Swansea amid transfer interest from Hull.

However, he admits the striker, 24, could go if the club receive a suitable offer.

The Tigers launched a bid earlier this week, understood to be in the region of £10m. That was swiftly rejected, with the Championship club seeking double that amount.

And, as things stand, it seems unlikely the Premier League side will return with an improved bid.

Swans boss Matos said: "We're really happy. Vipi is really happy with us.

"If the right offer comes, then we speak. If not, we keep going."

BY TYRONE MARSHALL MICHAEL CARRICK has called on his Manchester United bosses to "keep pushing" during the transfer window after revealing he wants more quality and depth ahead of the new season.

United have spent £85m on signing Karl Darlow, Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans this summer.

But it is now a month since they completed a deal and less than three weeks remain of the transfer window.

United head coach Carrick wants more new faces in, with a left-back and central midfielder on the agenda, and he knows his squad will be tested in different ways this season, with a return to the Champions League placing a greater demand on the schedule.

Although he is happy with the business conducted so far, he feels more needs to be done to get the squad in a place to compete on four fronts this season.

"I think for us we're delighted with the players we've brought in, first and foremost," said Carrick.

"We've improved the group, we've improved the squad in different ways - balance, quality and the direction we want to go in.

"We always want to improve, we want more, we need more, we keep looking for how we can do that, so that never stops. We're conscious of that and we've got to keep pushing."

United have spent less than promoted Ipswich and Coventry this summer and they have been eclipsed by their rivals.

They are the only 'Big Six' side not to spend £100m on a player, with Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham all doing that this summer. Liverpool paid it twice in 2025 and could do so again if they land Bradley Barcola.

At Old Trafford, the transfer record of £89m on Paul Pogba has been unchallenged for a decade and another frugal summer looks to be in the offing.

That presents a challenge to Carrick, who has ambitions of winning the title but must compete against teams who are splashing the cash, and the United head coach admitted there might come a point

when they have to smash their own

THE CARRICE

United boss pushing money men to deliver more top summer signings

transfer record. He added: "A little bit depends on what position that is and what you've got and what dynamics you need at certain points. Sometimes you do need that if it's the right player.

"Again, it's not purely on money, the money doesn't guarantee you, it needs to be the right player and a better player for what we've got. It's something (that) over time we need to be pushing to look to enhance the squad all the time in different ways."

Carrick said United need to "keep pushing" in relation to recruitment on four occasions during a 25-minute

chat at the club's training camp in Carton House yesterday, but stressed his communication with director of football Jason Wilcox and chief executive Omar Berrada was good.

"It's constant communication of what work we need to do, where we want to improve," he said. "We're pretty clear in the messages that we need to keep pushing and there's certain things that we want to try and do, but it needs to be right as well."

While United have not done a lot of business so far, Carrick is delighted with the

signings they have made and saved about the impact Brazilian Santos has had after his £50m move from Chelsea.

He added: "Andrey, for such a young man to come in the way he's came in, his character, his personality is a dream.

"He's so positive, so mature, so switched on.

"He comes in straight away and he's trying to help other players, and has that personality where he's got a real substance to him.

"We are delighted to have him."

BOLD TRAFFORD TALK

BY YVONNE MARSHALL MANCHESTER UNITED boss Michael Carrick believes the club can achieve. "Something really special" this season and is reveling in the fact his players are talking of an unlikely change to the Premier League title.

Plenty of the Old Trafford squad have talked confidently about going for the top spot, having finished last season in excellent form in third under the guidance of Carrick, who has now been given the job on a permanent basis.

While the 45-year-old isn't speaking quite as brashly as what he knows whining the league is not out of touch.

Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea all enter the season with new managers in charge, while Arsenal will be attempting to back up their first Premier League triumph in more than 20 years.

United have stability

under Carrick and there is a confident mood around the camp in pre-season, with players and staff raving about a summer where they have stayed in Europe and spent most of their time training at Carrington.

Carrick said: "We've definitely got the potential to

achieve something really special and we should aim to do that.

"There's been change, how much does that affect us in terms of our thinking? Not much really until we play against somebody.

"It's more of us trying to get the best out of ourselves, and start building on what we've already kind of got as a foundation.

"That's the encouraging bit, that we've gone through that spell and built each other's trust in some ways, with players looking at each other and looking at me and the staff and earning that, and then concentrating on, 'What can we do to be better?'

"My answer is there's a lot of change, but really it's about us and what we do to maximise what we've got.

"That's going to make the difference for us."

Rashford's return excites Carrick

FROM BACK PAGE

You're going to have a career over 10 or 15 years, there's going to be times when things go in maybe a different direction.

"There are ups and downs. Now we're in a positive place as a group, and Marcus can offer us so much. In that respect, it's quite exciting."

Rashford spent last season at Barcelona, who rejected the chance to sign him permanently for £26 million and United do not want to sanction another loan move, especially to a

Premier League rival, which has led to Rashford's reintegration this week.

That path has been smoothed by the presence of Carrick as head coach. He replaced Amorim in January and has a long history with Rashford.

Both parties believe the 28-year-old is most likely to remain and while Carrick is ready to work with the academy graduate, he did not guarantee he would remain at Old Trafford beyond the end of the window. To some extent, Rashford, who last played for United in December 2024 before being loaned to Aston Villa, feels like a new signing.

Carrick said: "We just treat it like anybody else coming into the group and there's obviously this slight twist that he knows the club as well as anybody.

"I know he's got history, but I've got history with a number of the players as well, so that doesn't make that a unique situation at all and treat him as exactly like any other player."

YOURI SO SORRY

FOR VILLA JIBE

BY MATTHEW RY MANCHESTER UNITED new boy Youri Tielemans has apologized to Aston Villa supporters following a furious response to an interview after his move to Old Trafford.

The Belgium international was asked whether he felt the opportunity to join United had passed him by following two previous attempts to sign the midfielder which were unsuccessful.

Tielemans also claimed that despite doing amazing things at Aston Villa, there are still clubs above them - and United is one of them.

He also revealed that when a move

comes up, that "if it needs to happen, it will happen".

The comments have upset some of the supporters at his previous club, and he's now taken to social media to apologise.

Writing on his Instagram story, Tielemans (below) said: "Never meant for my words in the press yesterday to offend anyone or undermine the institution of Aston

Villa Football Club, which I massively respect and I'm grateful to for the past three years.

"I must, however, admit my mistake and apologize for my choice of words. I will be more careful in the future.

"Wishing the club the best in the future. Yours!"

GUNNERS TARGET Arteta values Konsa's versatility

Gunners

still keen on Konsa

FROM BACK PAGE

Target for manager Mikel Arteta, but there remains a notable gap - of about £20m - between what the Gunners are willing to pay and the figure Villa want.

Arsenal are understood to have made a verbal approach earlier in the window, which ultimately amounted to nothing.

But the Gunners never truly threw in the towel as the versatile centre-back, who can also operate as a right-back, ticks multiple boxes for both Arteta and the club's recruitment staff.

He is rapid approaching his peak and is vastly experienced, having just competed in his second major tournament for England.

Konsa hails from Newham in east London and is thought to be open to joining Arsenal, even though he was a boyhood Tottenham supporter.

But Villa are not thought to be under any immediate financial pressure to cash-in following the exits of Morgan Rogers and Youri Tielemans for a combined fee in excess of £150m and there is a desire to strengthen, not weaken, Unai Emery's squad.

Toon raid

for Dedic

BY SEAN McCORMICK

NEWCASTLE have Bosnia and Herzegovina right-back Amar Dedic in their sights.

The Magpies opened talks to sign the 23-year-old earlier this week.

Dedic, who played under new boss Matthias Jaissle at RB Salzburg before joining Benfica, is said to be one of a number of options they are monitoring in their search for full-back cover.

At present, right-back Tino Livramento and left- back Lewis Hall are the only senior full-back options.

Teen right-back Leo Shahar is on standby to start against Liverpool in next Sunday's season opener, with Livramento still struggling with the calf injury which ruled him out of the World Cup.

MICHAEL CARRICK says he is excited to have Marcus Rashford back in training - and wants him at Manchester United this season.

The forward is back for pre-season training in Ireland this week, ending an 18-month e342. From his boyhood club.

A year on from being placed in Ruben Amorim's bomb squad, he is back and could return tomorrow, ironically against Amorim's AC Milan in their friendly in Wrocław.

SUMMER HOLIDAY SAVINGS GUIDE

FREE

FEE FREE

The best things in life are free, so the saying goes. Yet so much about the school summer holidays is geared towards shelling out money.

However, there are plenty of ways families can get out and about and visit some of the fantastic things our country has to offer without spending a penny.

Here are just a few ideas...

GREAT OUTDOORS

In the UK, we are blessed with some of the finest countryside, beaches and other open spaces in the world.

From moors and mountains to rolling fields and forests, there is bountiful choice of days out that don't cost anything to visit, apart from possible transport costs.

And if cities and towns are more your thing, take a stroll through historic streets to discover what life was like, and hidden gems.

To help, you could take out a guide from the library for free, or there are free walking tours available online.

MUSEUMS

It is estimated that there are about 2,500 museums in the UK, depending on what you include.

And there is a free entry policy to national museums and collections that are funded directly by the central government of each UK nation. There may still be a charge for temporary exhibitions.

One example of many is the National Railway Museum in York, where there is an optional donation instead.

Almost all university museums and a large number of local authority museums also operate a free admissions policy.

ENGLISH HERITAGE

Many of the historic sites English Heritage cares for are free to enter. It means you can explore prehistoric monuments, Roman ruins and medieval castles across the country - for nothing.

They include Lydford Castle and Saxon Town in Devon to Eynsford Castle in Kent, the Welsh Border fortress of Clun Castle, to Norham Castle in Northumberland.

Norham Castle in Northumberland is free to visit

FREE FESTIVALS

There are lots of local events put on free the length and breadth of the country over the summer. From summer fetes to community events, they are a great way to have fun and support local good causes.

Some are a bit bigger, with events - from arts and craft to music - spread over a number of weeks.

In London, King's Cross Summer Sounds runs from now until August 23 with folk, jazz, soul, classical and indie rock music and dance performances.

And in Manchester, Black Gold Arts event on August 15 promises a day of free outdoor arts and live performances.

Labour's Great British Summer Saving scheme was launched at the end of June to ease the cost of living crisis for families - with VAT cut on things like meals and days out.

The government is cutting VAT from 20% to 5% on family days out - from cinema and theatre tickets to attractions, and children's meals - until September 1. The Treasury says more than 2,000 businesses across the UK have now signed up, and new ones are being added all the time.

Visit summer savings.gov.uk to see who is taking part near you, or where you're visiting. As part of the same announcement, children aged 15 and under in England will get free bus travel for the whole month of August.

FAMILIES ON BENEFITS

While there are plenty of activities parents can do with the kids for free, the reality is others come with a big price tag. And shelling out can

be especially daunting - or impossible - for those already struggling on low incomes.

However, if you are on Universal Credit or other benefits, there are plenty of discounted days out across the UK, with some tickets costing as low as £1.

The qualifying benefits vary by attraction, so make sure to check in advance, but can also include Pension Credit, Housing Benefit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, Income Support, Income-based Employment and Support Allowance, Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance and Disability Living Allowance.

Here are some examples, based on research by the charity Christians Against Poverty.

30 HOURS' FREE CHILDCARE

Parents of children aged nine months to four years old in England may be entitled to 15 to 30 hours a week free childcare. These hours are usually taken over 38 weeks, to cover term time, but you can normally spread them out to cover school breaks by using fewer hours a week. To get the full 30 hours a week, parents each have to earn the equivalent of minimum wage for 16 hours a week, but less than £100,000. Parents of three and four-year-olds get 15 hours a week free childcare as standard, regardless of if they are in work. If your child is two, you can get 15 hours a week if you claim certain benefits.

HAVE A SUMMER CLEAR-OUT

Now could be a great time to have a declutter of your home and sell any unwanted belongings for some extra cash to put toward summer fun. You usually do not pay tax on selling unwanted personal items, provided you are simply clearing out old belongings. For teens, encourage them to go through their stuff and sell anything they don't want anymore for a bit of extra pocket money. Under-18s can use Vinted legally if a parent or legal guardian sets up the account, manages the financial transactions, and supervises all activity. You have to be aged 13 or older to sign up to Depop.

TAX-FREE CHILDCARE

Tax-free childcare is a top-up scheme where for every £8 you pay in, the government adds £2. The money, which is deposited into an online account, must be spent on childcare costs. If you're eligible, you can get up to £500 every three months - £2,000 a year - for each child. For disabled children, the maximum amount is £1,000 every three months, so £4,000 a year. Your child must be aged 11 or younger to qualify, or 16 or younger if they are disabled. You need to be earning at least the minimum wage for the equivalent of 16 hours a week, but less than £100,000. Off you've been self-employed for less than 12 months, there is no minimum income requirement. You may still be able to open an account if you are out of work, but your partner is working, and you claim certain benefits.

SWITCH BANK ACCOUNTS

Banks will pay you to be their customer and you can currently up to £220 by switching. You often need to jump through the hoops, for example, you may need to deposit a certain amount of money into the account each month, or have direct debits set up. You also normally need to be a customer. Eligibility criteria does vary between each bank, but here are some of the current switch de

HSBC £220 Barclays £200 NatWest £200 First Direct £175

Nationwide £175 Bank of Scotland £175 Co-op £125 upfront, plus a month for three months

You may not get the switch money in time to spend summer, so think of this as a cash top-up for when the schools are back. The easiest way to switch banks is by using the free Current Account Switch Service (CASS) which moves your balance, standing orders, direct debits, and deals with the cost of your old account. But make sure your new account is right for you and check what features it can such as cashback or overdraft charges. If you're going to be putting in a big credit application so much as such as a mortgage, you may not want to do multiple switches in a short period of time, as each application to switch will show on your credit file.

CHECK YOUR BENEFITS ENTITLEMENT

Parents of nearly a third (31.2%) of eligible children do not claim Child Benefit before the baby's first birthday. You can claim Child Benefit if you are responsible for a child under the age of 16, or under 20 if they are still in approved education or training. It is worth £27.05 a week for the first child, and £17.90 a week for each subsequent child. If you, or your partner, earn over £60,000, you have to pay back 1% of your Child Benefit for every £200 you earn over £60,000. Once you earn over £80,000, you pay back 100% of your Child Benefit. There is no limit for how many children you can claim Child Benefit for, but if two people look after a child, only one person can claim Child Benefit.

LOOKING AFTER THE GRANDKIDS?

Grandparents who step in to look after their grandkids this summer could claim a little-known state pension boost. Specified Adult Childcare Credits can help fill any gaps in your National Insurance record, which is used to determine your state pension entitlement. You must have been under state pension age, currently 66 but

rising to 67, when you were caring for the child, and the child must be under the age of 12, or 17 if they have a disability. The parent of the child will need to be entitled to Child Benefit, as they will be transferring the National Insurance Credit they usually get, to the grandparent. Claims can be backdated to 2011.

Konnie Huq on how Blue Peter taught her that...

LESS

LESS WORKS

Konnie with Charlie & boys Covey and Huxley

Presenting Blue Peter taught the children's show's longest running female presenter, Konnie Huq, how to be happy with less. Fronting the programme from 1997 to 2008, Konnie, who has two sons, Covey, 14, and Huxley, 12, with her husband, Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker, 55, says some of her interviews were a real eye opener.

Now 51, she says: "I remember so many trips to a village where the kids have absolutely nothing and they want your empty water bottle.

"We interviewed a family once and paid them with rice and cooking oil. They wanted the carrier bag, because it was durable and useful.

"I was right out of uni and it taught me to value everything and not waste stuff.

"I don't buy anything unless it's an absolute necessity, because I don't really need anything.

"And then that makes you happy with what you've got, as opposed to sad about what you don't have.

"You can have all the social media followers in the world, or all the money, or whatever, but if you're not happy with what you've got already, then you're the loser, really.

"If you're a foodie who will only eat in Michelin-starred restaurants and you can't get pleasure

from a cheese sandwich, then you're going to have a lot of displeasure in your life.

"You're going to be an annoying, hard-to-please person that other people won't want to be around.

"People are so snobby about brands and just snobby in general. And that perpetuates this insane culture that we live in, that's just exacerbating [people's dissatisfaction] because there's too much on offer."

As part of her drive to find free fun, Konnie has teamed up this summer with Art Fund, the national charity for art, for their third annual Kids Aloud initiative.

It aims to encourage families to use one of the country's most abundant free resources: its museums and galleries. More than 60 are taking

part nationwide and hosting both free-to-all events and additional activities available for free or half price to families with a National Art Pass.

The campaign comes as new research reveals two-thirds (65%) of parents feel too worried or embarrassed about noise or behaviour to take their children to museums, despite data showing interactive museum visits keep kids engaged for longer than watching television.

Konnie says: "This is a free resource at your fingertips. And I know the feeling of taking rowdy children to a silent museum - it can feel exposing.

"I took mine recently to the Vatican. But playing is what children do, they can learn while they play.

"Even if they're just laughing at Michelangelo's David having no clothes on," Konnie stresses that

once parents overcome those initial nerves, there is a whole world of free entertainment to be discovered.

She goes on: "The more people that take children to museums and galleries, the more normalised and less silent they will become. The less exposing it will feel."

Konnie also says it's a brilliant way to get kids off screens and into something that the whole family will love.

In a direct message to mums and dad, she says: "Get your kids off the screens, get them out, get them to a museum or gallery.

"You can all learn something in the process."

And by visiting you will be supporting the UK's incredible cultural heritage.

Konnie adds: "If we stop taking our kids there, if we stop going there, then the squeeze will get squasher and funding and resources will go.

"Once people stopped going to the libraries, the libraries started closing down. We don't want that for our museums and galleries.

"Going to museums and galleries is cheap, it's easy, and it kills time with the kids, while educating and entertaining them.

"It's a win-win for the summer holidays."

The great out chores way to pocket money

JLS star Aston Merrygold is encouraging UK parents to turn pester power into an opportunity for kids to earn their pocket money this summer.

Dad-of-three Aston, 38, says: "Get your kids to earn some pennies to buy something of value to them, be it sweets or football cards.

"It teaches them the value of money."

Beat Again singer Aston, who lives in Hertfordshire with his wife, Sarah, 42, a dancer and choreographer, and their children Grayson, eight, Macaulay, five, and Riley, two, says his eldest son started getting pocket money just before he turned seven. But Grayson had to work for it.

He explains: "As soon as he got out of bed, we'd make sure he made it. After he had a shower or a bath, we'd have him pick his towel up.

"Now, he will help me do the gardening. Or if I'm washing the car, he'll help. He gets stuck in, because he knows that there's a reward.

"We give him £1 for the big jobs, less for the little ones. And he can watch it add up.

"It's earning while learning."

NatWest Rooster Money's 10th Annual Pocket Money Index reveals that pocket money has increased year on year to an average of £9.74 per week.

But it's encouraging kids to embrace "the great out-chores" -

getting outside and away from screens, like Aston and Grayson, to make their pocket money.

Aston says: "We're consumed by our phones. So any avenue that can slow that down and encourage human interaction instead is great.

"With chores, we can encourage kids to go outside, not always be hunched over in front of a screen. It's getting involved with nature, and burning some energy, letting the imagination take over.

"I'm not fully against screens. But, at the same time, we have to have that balance."

And Grayson is more than happy with the arrangement.

He says: "Outdoor chores are better, because you get fresh air and you can earn more pocket money doing them. Last time, I got dad wet when I was cleaning the car and we had a water fight!

"Pocket money teaches you that if you want something, it means you have to work for it. And you learn to save up instead of spending it all at once.

"I use my pocket money for video games or going to the shop. Sometimes I save it up - I actually have £10 at the moment! Dad says I can spend it on what I want, because I earned it."

SURVIVE COST OF LIVING CRISIS AS A SINGLE MUM

with personal finance expert Lynn Beattie - aka known as Mrs Mummypenny

Thought marriage was for life, until it wasn't. My divorce was finalised in 2020, and I became the sole owner of the family home, taking on an extra chunk of mortgage after buying out the ex-husband in the divorce settlement. Single mum life of three boys began.

Six years later, I am still in the same house but am in the process of selling my property to ease the strain of my monthly expenses. I had thought that I might find the holy grail of a new relationship. That optimistic thinking hasn't transpired, and I remain the sole earner in the house. My boys are now all teenagers, 18, 16 and 13.

It's been one of the hardest times of my life, emotionally and financially. The fallout from divorce has been a challenge for everyone.

Everyone has benefitted from some therapy to deal with the issues over the past six years. The real struggle has been the rising bills, the extra £400 a month in mortgage payments, thanks to higher interest rates and the extra £400 a month in food, energy, petrol and general bills thanks to the ongoing cost of living crisis.

THE SINGLE MUM TAX: DO THESE CHECKS EVERY THREE MONTHS

I earn just that bit too much to qualify for many benefits, apart from some child benefit, but do ensure you are claiming for everything you possibly can.

My £3,000 a month in bills/costs is all paid for by me instead of being split with a partner.

The bills are closely managed, I review all my direct debits every three months to ensure I cancel anything I no longer need. And I check I have the best supplier and switch on my energy, broadband, insurance, and mobiles. Food comes from Aids, and takeaways are a rarity.

SINGLE MUM LIFE

Yes, single mum life has its challenges, but do I ever regret ending that marriage? Never. What I love about single mum life is that I can make all my decisions by myself, no one to disagree with. And I am proud of my achievements and being the sole earner of a busy family home. Lynn Beattie is a personal finance expert, AKA Mrs Mummypenny. @mrsmummypennyuk

HONESTY WITH THE CHILDREN

I have always had open and honest conversations with my children about everything. This is especially important as a single parent.

They need to know the cost of household bills, when money is tight and the importance of saying no. This ensures there are no unreasonable requests for money from them.

It's also important knowledge to prepare them for adult life when they will need to pay for the same bills themselves.

RECOGNISING WHEN IT'S TIME TO CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION

Often in divorce, we place importance on keeping the house. There are emotions linked to keeping a stable and consistent home for the children. But often this proves to be an expensive decision.

Maybe the mortgage was affordable when interest rates were lower, but now with higher rates, remortgaging often costs hundreds extra per month. There is no shame in recognising this and taking a few steps down the mountain, downsizing or moving to a cheaper area.

This is exactly what I am doing. I am selling the house I kept in the divorce and moving to a smaller place slightly more north, but still near the children's school and lives.

My mortgage costs will reduce hugely, and it will give me an opportunity to release some equity to repay some debt.

HOUSEHOLD CHORES

The boys have always had responsibility for household chores, including washing the dishes and keeping their own rooms tidy. I will also give them pocket money for helping with bigger jobs (that I don't like doing) like weeding the driveway or keeping the garden tidy. I like to think that I have brought up resilient boys, who are ready for adult life and fully capable of household duties and financial management.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME TOGETHER

Those honest conversations often happen when we are out on a walk or driving.

The best conversations with teenagers seem to happen when you're not directly facing each other. We make the time to talk about anything and everything, and they feel comfortable sharing most things with me, likewise, I share a lot with them. We also play sport together, tennis and padel. Do what they love, and they'll love spending time with you.
