伯纳姆就俄罗斯干预脱欧之“谎言”退缩

首相昨晚就其关于俄罗斯干预脱欧公投的“谎言”采取退缩姿态。在一次令人尴尬的立场反转中

作者：杰森·格罗夫斯 (Jason Groves) 与 SEE 克里斯蒂安·卡尔吉 (Christian Calgie)

安迪·伯纳姆承认，他没有证据证明克里姆林宫干预了 2016 年的投票，而他在仅 24 小时前还做出了这一主张。

昨天，鲍里斯·约翰逊告诉《每日邮报》，“伯纳姆关于脱欧的谎言现在反噬了他”。奈杰尔·法拉奇则称伯纳姆先生的言论“令人愤慨”，并补充道：“首相是个骗子。”

《动乱法案》修订版“仍使退伍军人面临政治迫害”

作者：马克·尼科尔 (Mark Nicol)

国防编辑

北爱尔兰退伍军人将《动乱法案》的修改斥为“装点门面”，认为这为可能起诉年长士兵铺平了道路。

那些在数十年间受到律师骚扰、现年 70 至 80 岁的士兵，在该法案下仍将面临政治驱动的法庭审理和验尸官听证会。

昨晚，前蓝军与皇家骑兵卫队下士保罗·杨表示，工党正在使用“噱头”来分散军方

《每日邮报》活动：停止背叛 SAS

社区的注意力，而当修订后的法案本周返回下议院时，却未能就关键问题提供明确答复。

修改内容中包括一项条款，规定涉嫌恐怖主义的人员不能依赖由托尼·布莱尔作为《贝尔法斯特协议》一部分而颁发的“安慰信”——该信件称对其活动的调查已被暂停。对退伍军人而言，更重要的是，预计将有至少 8 起针对数十年前事件的死因研讯因该法案而继续进行。许多人可能面临新的起诉。

工党还忽略了他们的恳求，即应由最高法院法官决定士兵是否面临审判，而是表示该选择权在司法部长手中。

杨下士说：“共和主义者试图重写历史并将士兵送上被告席。士兵们依然处于危险之中。”

政府消息人士称，这些修改涵盖了各退伍军人团体提出的 80% 的担忧。

英国必将遭到恶意人工智能的入侵

---

作者：克莱尔·埃利科特 (Claire Ellicott)，白厅编辑

该领域的部长昨日警告称，英国的网络防御系统遭到人工智能（AI）的入侵是“不可避免的”。

AI部长卡尼什卡·纳拉扬（Kanishka Narayan）在宣布增加安全保障计划时表示，该国很可能会成为攻击的目标。

部长在澳大利亚遭黑客攻击后承诺加强网络防御

与此同时，微软总裁表示，目前牛奶和洗衣机的监管程度比AI领域更高。

纳拉扬先生在就任这一新设立的职务后的首次重要演讲中警告称，英国的基础设施几乎肯定会遭受重大攻击。

他提到了一起针对澳大利亚的黑客攻击事件，在这次事件中，一个恶意的Open-AI代理目标指向了一个政府网站并获取了私人数据，他表示英国需要做好准备。

---

“严肃对待警告”

这位国会议员警告说：“这一事件应该引起我们的关注。我也对此感到担忧。我们的网络防御系统被突破似乎很有可能，甚至可以说是不可避免。”

他表示，政府必须严肃对待AI带来的风险——正如该领域从业人员所指出的那样。

上个月，研究员雅各布·考克森（Jacob Coxon）从美国公司Anthropic辞职，并称AI“可能会在十年结束前杀死我们所有人”。

当被问及AI是否会抹除人类时，纳拉扬先生表示：“具体到风险问题，听着，当你听到这些公司从业人员的警告时，你必须严肃对待。”他还表示，开发人员应该只构建“让人们类掌控”并能帮助人类的“机器”。

Concern: Kanishka Narayan

他补充道：“当我们跨入超智能时代时，我们现在的选择至关重要。我们必须构建服务于我们的机器——能够帮助科学家发现新药的机器，能够让护理人员有更多时间陪伴依赖他们的人的机器，以及能够帮助英国企业提高生产力的机器。”

“最重要的是，必须是让人们类掌控的机器。”

他表示，政府应采取“迅速行动”以防御恶意的在线代理，并补充道：“英国公众有权期待本届政府应当严肃对待AI的风险。”

在随其演讲发布的政府新闻稿中，官员们似乎也在警告英国尚未为攻击做好准备。

稿件称：“涉及AI代理的重大事件其演变速度可能比政府设计应对的其他重大事件更快，波及范围更广，应对这一挑战将需要开发新的专业知识和能力。”

纳拉扬先生表示，英国AI安全研究所（AISI）的科学家们正在对包括谷歌Gemini在内的最新模型进行测试，以确保“稳健的安全保障”。

此前有消息称，这家网络巨头表示将把Gemini的访问权限限制在经过审核的网络安全专家组内。

纳拉扬先生保证，部长们还将加强《网络安全与韧性法案》的部分内容，以保护医院和公用事业免受恶意AI的侵害。

与此同时，微软总裁布拉德·史密斯（Brad Smith）表示，即使是简单的家用电器，其监管程度也高于AI。

“现在，你的洗衣机所受的安全规则比 AI 还要多。你在杂货店看到的每一盒牛奶都受安全规则和检查的约束，”他在 BBC💡 Radio 4 的《今日》（Today）节目中表示。

他补充说，需要建立全球安全规则，包括在系统被恶意 AI 代理入侵时，有法律义务告知“受害者”。

阳光下的欢乐：凯特·哈德森、考特尼·考克斯以及模特维多利亚·切雷蒂与莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥

当一线明星齐聚夏威夷婚礼，莱昂纳多是海滩上最耀眼的明星...

亲吻新娘：“蜘蛛侠”主演托比·马奎尔为其前妻主持婚礼

多年前，他在轰动一时的邪典电影《海滩》中奠定了自己作为电影界伟大情圣之一的地位。

显然，莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥依然非常热爱与一线好友们在海边放松。

事实上，任何在夏威夷发现这位 51 岁演员的人，一定认为好莱坞的所有人都集体搬到这里度周末了。因为在享受乐趣的人群中，有凯特·哈德森、考特尼·考克斯，以及迪卡普里奥和他的 28 岁女友、时尚模特维多利亚·切雷蒂。

他们飞往这个美国岛屿州，是为了参加詹妮弗·迈耶的婚礼。迈耶是“蜘蛛侠”主演托比·马奎尔的前妻，而马奎尔恰好也是迪卡普里奥最好的朋友。

马奎尔处于一个不寻常的位置：他为 49 岁的前妻与亿万富翁杰夫·奥贡莱西（Geoff Ogunlesi，34 岁）的婚礼主持仪式。这对在海边交换誓言的夫妇于 2023 年开始约会。

作者：贾斯汀·恩里克兹（Justin Enriquez）

马奎尔于 2007 年与珠宝设计师迈耶女士结婚。两人于 2016 年分居，离婚手续于上个月最终完成。他们的两个孩子露比（Ruby，19 岁）和奥蒂斯（Otis，17 岁）也出席了婚礼。

自 2016 年分居以来，迈耶女士和马奎尔一直保持着极好的关系。

在夏威夷的其他婚礼宾客还包括亚马逊老板杰夫·贝佐斯及其妻子劳伦·桑切斯，时尚设计师瑞秋·佐伊以及演员佐伊·克拉维茨。

在大日子到来之前，迪卡普里奥与切雷蒂女士在海滩上放松，在太平洋中嬉戏时展示了他的“奶爸身材”。

马奎尔、62 岁的考克斯女士和 47 岁的哈德森女士也加入了其中，两位女演员身着单色比基尼，看起来美极了。

被批：汤姆·克鲁斯在《挖掘者》（Digger）中饰演一名石油大亨

这才叫灾难片……汤姆·克鲁斯新片成全球最大票房惨败——预计将亏损 1.85 亿英镑!

汤姆·克鲁斯的最新电影《挖掘机》（Digger）正朝着史上最大票房惨败的方向前进。

这部备受评论界诟病的讽刺片在第二个周末的电影票销售额惊人地下降了 60%。

在首映周末，这部由亚历杭德罗·冈萨雷斯·伊纳里图执导、克鲁斯在片中饰演一名石油大亨的环境灾难片在美国获得了 800万美元 (£600 万) 的票房，国际销售额为 £9mil-

作者：乔安娜·克劳利（Joanna Crawley）

lion。在美国第二个周末，电影票销售额下降了近三分之二，使其国内票房总计达到 $1.44亿 (£1090 万)，全球票房为 £2700 万。

业内人士表示，该片在院线放映期间目前预计将亏损 £1.85 亿，全球票房预估为 £3800 万。《综艺》（Variety）报道称，由于电影院业主保留了约一半的票款，该片在全球需要获得 £2.64 亿 才能盈亏平衡。

华纳兄弟最初批准该片的预算为 £9500 万，但随后预算飙升至 £1.36 亿。该公司告诉《综艺》，盈亏平衡点为 £2.27 亿。

制片厂在营销上又花费了 £7800 万。如果《挖掘机》真的亏损 £1.85 亿，它将成为史上最大的票房炸弹之一。迪士尼 2012 年的《火星战记》（John Carter）以 £1.36 亿 的亏损保持着吉尼斯世界纪录，是历史上最大的惨败之作。

导演雷尼·哈林 1995 年的电影《海盗岛》（Cutthroat Island）也名留史册，在预估预算为 £7600 万 的情况下，仅获得了 £1200 万 的票房。

经通货膨胀调整后，该片相当于亏损 £1.68 亿。

弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，在俄罗斯继续猛烈打击乌克兰设施后，“越来越明显”的是，俄罗斯并不希望在能源基础设施方面达成停火。

这位乌克兰总统拒绝了弗拉基米尔·普京关于停火一天的提议，并无视了愤怒的唐纳德·特朗普的威胁。

在克里姆林宫的导弹击中一家炼油厂并导致基辅出现大规模停电后，泽连斯基在 X 上写道：“不幸的是，今天和昨天我们的能源基础设施都遭到了袭击。全乌克兰一整天都在发出防空警报。”

俄罗斯的袭击发生在美总统宣布停火将“立即生效”后的几个小时内。这似乎让乌克兰领导人感到意外，他表示停火对他来说是“新消息”，但如果莫斯科同意，乌克兰将遵守。

此后，俄罗斯已六次袭击乌克兰能源设施。乌克兰官员昨天还表示，俄罗斯对一个

基辅郊区的一栋高层住宅楼遭到袭击，造成两人死亡，至少七人受伤。

泽连斯基在 X 平台上继续写道：“如果这些袭击确实是俄罗斯对美国总统声明的回应，这意味着俄罗斯人再次浪费了一个让和平更近的机会。”

“缓解局势能否真正成功，在很大程度上取决于美国的立场。需要对俄罗斯施压。我们继续在所有层面与美方保持沟通。”

随着协商停战的尝试演变成一场闹剧，普京向乌克兰提供了一天的停火期，以便其能在相对安全的环境下举行选举。自 2022 年俄罗斯入侵以来，该国一直处于戒严状态，这意味着选举被暂停。

普京的提议是对泽连斯基请求为同一目的提供 60 天停火期的敷衍回应。

克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示：“如果他们真的想在基辅举行选举，那么俄罗斯总统、最高统帅将准备下令，在选举日当天，具体是指选举日当天，不对乌克兰发动袭击。”

在泽连斯基建议停火两个月后，俄罗斯的

外交部长表示，乌克兰不配拥有停火带来的“喘息之机”。谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫表示，战斗的中断将允许欧洲盟友向（乌克兰）“泵入新武器”。

他暗示泽连斯基对特朗普先生的宣布所表现出的惊讶是“伪造”的，并指责他利用“任何措辞、任何倡议”来获取停火。“我认为他不配获得喘息之机，”拉夫罗夫说。克里姆林宫决心赶走泽连斯基，这一野心似乎也得到了特朗普先生的认同，后者此前曾猛烈抨击这位乌克兰领导人。

美国总统对泽连斯基越来越感到沮丧，并威胁要切断对乌克兰的武器供应。在特朗普先生干预后，克里姆林宫发言人表示其“喜欢美国在乌克兰问题上的立场”。

在宣布最新的“停火”之前，特朗普先生宣布购买“数十万吨”俄罗斯柴油，此举令盟友震惊。在泽连斯基批评这是给普京的“礼物”后，特朗普先生表示，乌克兰是时候“换一个能达成协议的新领导人”了。

胡塞武装“迫使沙特王子潜逃”

目标：王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼

据报道，由于胡塞武装继续对利雅得发动导弹袭击，沙特阿拉伯王储已被迫潜逃。

据官员称，在过去的一周里，穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼一直在“守卫森严的宫殿”地堡之间转移。

周六，该国遭受了十年以来最致命的一次袭击，一枚导弹击中了利雅得的哈立德国王国际机场，造成13人死亡，数百人受伤。

本·萨勒曼（41岁）仍处于潜逃状态。沙特官员表示：“王储在配备有地堡且守卫森严的宫殿之间往返，并由一支精选的安保团队负责保护。”

他自上周二以来未在公开场合出现。与此同时，随着袭击升级，利雅得的学校被迫关闭。

胡塞武装声称，他们发起袭击是为了报复沙特对他们控制的也门西部地区的侵略。沙特阿拉伯誓将做出“严肃”回应——而胡塞武装在昨天声称，在报复性袭击中，也门有10人死亡。

唐纳德·特朗普暗示他“可能”干预这场冲突，这增加了中东战争进一步升级的可能性。昨天，安迪·伯纳姆谴责了这些袭击，并表示英国已向沙特阿拉伯提供防空支持和一架空中加油机。

也门的内战在四年的停战协议崩溃后，于7月重新爆发。利雅得领导着一个国际联盟，自2015年以来一直为也门政府提供军事支持。

米利班德就英国皇家空军基地惊魂事件召见伊朗特使

作者：Ryan Hooper

犯罪记者

安迪·伯纳姆昨天表示，伊朗强硬派的伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）“几乎肯定”是对英国皇家空军（RAF）费尔菲尔德基地安全惊魂事件负责。

与此同时，外交大臣埃德·米利班德——因在纽约会晤期间与伊朗同行握手而受到批评——就此次事件召见了伊朗大使。

内政大臣沙巴娜·马哈茂德表示，这次严厉谴责将使米利班德先生能够“谴责伊朗持续企图破坏我们的安全”。

在提到格洛斯特郡英国皇家空军基地涉嫌的阴谋时，首相告诉下议院：“我可以确认我们的评估，即该事件极有可能是伊朗协调的，几乎肯定是由伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队指使的。我们不会容忍在我们的土地上出现这些威胁。”

“我们将打击伊朗利用犯罪网络进行活动，利用我们全部的权力打击他们及其资金流，我们将采取进一步制裁，以限制伊朗和伊斯兰革命卫队对我们造成伤害的能力。”马哈茂德女士告诉国会议员

---

“我们绝不容忍威胁”

据信，一名“居住在伊朗的已知个人”协调了该阴谋。

英国昨晚与美国以及包括加拿大、法国和德国在内的盟友共同发表声明谴责伊朗。声明指责伊朗在世界范围内进行“致命阴谋、纵火、破坏和网络攻击”。

声明还补充道：“英国还得出结论，此次事件表明伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）继续愿意通过秘密网络和代理人将其敌对活动延伸至境外。伊朗试图通过代理人或任何其他手段在我们的领土上威胁、禁言、恐吓、骚扰、伤害或胁迫任何人的行为都是不可接受的。”

该声明表示，“任何代表伊朗或任何其他国家从事敌对活动的人都应该知道，我们将采取行动识别、调查、瓦解并起诉这些行为”。

马哈穆德女士表示，德黑兰还策划了针对英国犹太社区的袭击。她告诉国会议员：“像伊朗这样的国家正在利用代理人在英国境内开展敌对活动。”

“他们向罪犯支付报酬或利用天真的志愿者，在攻击我们国家及其公民的同时，维持一种看似可以否认的掩护。”

上个月，在皇家空军（RAF）费尔菲尔德基地附近拦截到三辆可疑面包车后，七人（六名英国国民和一名英伊双国籍人士）因该事件被逮捕并获保释。

一项死因研讯听证会获悉，一名骑电动单轮车的环保人士在被一款自行车应用程序引导至一条繁忙的双车道公路后不幸丧生。

本杰明·威尔斯-莱恩，46岁，当时正行驶在一段限速40英里 / 小时的道路上，前方交通突然陷入停滞。

在意识到无法及时停止后，他突然转向并撞上了一根灯柱。

应急服务部门试图在伯恩茅斯的A338公路上抢救威尔斯-莱恩先生，但他当场死亡。

听证会获悉，他在7月3日骑行的这款自平衡电动单轮车在英国道路上是不合法的。

他的遗孀帕特里莎表示，她的丈夫从事杂工工作，他厌恶汽车，并且热爱能用单轮车前往大多数地方。

他认为这对环境和缓解交通拥堵更有利。威尔斯-莱恩夫人说，她的丈夫—。

“撞上了灯柱”

他是一位“具有安全意识的骑行者”，总是配备头盔、防护服和高可见度反光背心。

她补充说，他使用的骑行应用程序经常引导他进入 A338 公路。

“他是一位技术熟练且经验丰富的骑行者，”韦尔斯-莱恩夫人说。“我认为 [A338] 不应该被标记为自行车路线。没有什么能控制这种情况，也没有任何安全装备能防止受伤。”

在伯恩茅斯市政厅举行的听证会上获悉，居住在普尔的韦尔斯-莱恩先生于 7 月 3 日下午 4 点前离开里士满山圆环，开始在双车道公路上向西行驶。但他在从匝道汇入后几乎立即就遇到了交通停滞。

受伤。多塞特郡助理验尸官理查德·米德尔顿将死亡原因记录为道路交通事故。

多塞特警方交通部门的迈克尔·伯特警长表示：“[韦尔斯-莱恩先生] 在驶离匝道时试图减速，结果撞上了灯柱。”

尸检结果显示，韦尔斯-莱恩先生死于创伤性主动脉

伯特警长表示，交通堵塞是由一名货车司机在车道上停车并下车取物引起的。货车后面的车辆随后陷入停滞。

电动独轮车被纳入“动力运输工具”这一统称，该词旨在涵盖包括电动滑板车在内的“新兴个人运输设备”。在公共道路上使用动力运输工具属于刑事犯罪。

韦尔斯-莱恩先生出生于美国犹他州，于 2025 年 1 月与妻子一起搬到普尔。他在两人结婚两周年纪念日的次日去世。

韦尔斯-莱恩夫人在向丈夫致敬时说：“他这辈子第一次真正地 100% 对自己的生活感到幸福。”

“我们从未把对方视为理所当然。我们在各方面都是伴侣。失去本可以共同度过的这么多岁月，永远无法释怀。”她补充道：“他非常热衷于让世界变得更美好。”

在普尔港的布朗西岛上安装了一把纪念长椅以纪念韦尔斯-莱恩先生，他曾在那里为多塞特野生动物信托基金会担任志愿者。

来自包括日本和德国在内的十个国家的 256 名参赛者轮流挥动系在绳子上的马栗，试图击碎对手的马栗。胡珀女士在周日赢得了比赛，获得了令人向往的“马栗女王”称号。

她表示：“我以前没玩过马栗击球，当然也从未参加过马栗击球比赛，所以这太神奇了。”

心服口服的格里菲斯先生开玩笑说：“我想我要改名了！”

基尔·斯塔默爵士将与欧盟和北约领导人一起，在弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基今日与唐纳德·特朗普在白宫的关键会晤中为其提供支持。他们将展现统一战线，希望能够缓和特朗普对待这位乌克兰领导人的方式，

作为欧盟领导人强硬态度的迹象，法国总统埃马纽埃·马克龙随后表示：“如果我们今天不强大，明天我们将付出沉重代价。”

愤怒的法拉奇：他

（接第一页）

拆解脱欧，声称如果忽视与布鲁塞尔建立更紧密关系的机会，将是“玩忽职守”。

他表示，维持现状对“英国来说还不够”，并为下次大选后恢复与欧盟的人员自由流动打开了大门。

伯纳姆先生在周日重新提起已被否认的阴谋论，称公投结果受到了莫斯科的影响，随后遭到了猛烈抨击。

他在由前工党宣传主管阿拉斯泰尔·坎贝尔（Alastair Campbell）共同主持的播客节目《政治之余》（The Rest is Politics）中表示，在进入唐宁街10号后，他曾询问官员是否有证据表明俄罗斯干预了竞选活动。

“我得到了明确的答复，是的，确实有，”伯纳姆先生说。“现在将这些事情明确记录在案非常重要。”

然而，部长们在昨天难以对这一说法进行辩护，唐宁街最终被迫澄清，首相承认公投结果是“合法的”。

在昨天的下议院会议上，保守党党魁凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）要求首相“公布俄罗斯操纵2016 referendum结果的证据”。她补充道：

“首相暗示由于俄罗斯的干预，结果是不合法的。这又是从哪里得出的结论？”

“我们都记得在 2018, 军情五处（MI5）负责人曾表示，没有证据表明俄罗斯影响了欧盟公投结果。”

“甚至就在今天早上，首相自己的外交大臣都无法确认该证据是否存在。”

伯纳姆先生坚称他“没有暗示过此类事情”。他承认自己没有证据证明克里姆林宫影响了投票结果。

“记录显示，俄罗斯参与者曾试图干预2019 general election，我们认为这是第一次发生这种情况是不可能的，”他说。

作者：昆廷·莱茨（QUENTIN LETTS）

安迪·伯纳姆渴望或设想的是什么？他的计划是什么？在下议院经历了两个小时的会议后，尚不清楚他本人是否知晓。

他到处乱跳，像个玻璃罩里的弹珠，像一只在床头灯罩里发疯的秋季蓝瓶蝇，因为害怕被拍死而陷入癫狂。

伯纳姆先生担任首相仅进入第三个议会周，他站在派遣箱前进行一次“国际形势更新”。

显而易见的危机是乌克兰以及特朗普总统最新的粗鲁策略。

首相不想在那个问题上纠结太久。他眨了眨眼睛，转向拟议中的欧盟重新谈判。

外交大臣埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband）坐在他身边，从嘴边不停地吐出建议。内阁部长们为了座位安排发生了争执。低调的露西·鲍威尔（Lucy Powell）以为自己抢到了一个好位置，但被第一秘书露易丝·海格（Louise Haigh）要求挪位。露西害怕露易丝。她是在被欺负吗？

坐得更远的是欧洲事务大臣哈米什·法尔科纳（Hamish Falconer），四肢扭曲得像个开瓶器。

在长椅更下方的是另一位外交部部长斯蒂芬·多蒂（Stephen Doughty），他早晨在广播演播室里度过了一段痛苦的时光，试图解释安迪在所谓俄罗斯干预脱欧公投问题上的立场。多蒂兄弟看起来精疲力竭，双脚呈十点十分方向分开，脸色苍白如牛脂。

首相就像一只

秋季蓝瓶蝇，

在你的床头

灯罩里，

因为害怕

被拍死而

陷入癫狂……

伯纳姆先生没有这种焦虑。他轻快地走来走去，完全像个普通人。在发表声明之前，他在议长席后徘徊。一个未经训练的观察者会以为他只是另一个初级部长。他身上没有任何光环。

他的开场白略过了伊朗和乌克兰的事项，而花更长的时间阐述他将如何重新亲近布鲁塞尔。

这一切竟然出自一个在梅克菲尔德补选期间向选民保证，“我们现在最不该做的就是重新争论”脱欧问题的男人之口。

啊，是的，那是当时，而现在是此时，此时他希望在宣布可能提前举行大选之前，获得自由民主党和绿党选民的支持。于是，他详细列举了所有他希望重新审视的海关麻烦。凯米·巴德诺克难以置信地拍了拍额头。她评论说，他刚刚向欧盟亮出了底牌。“简直不可思议！”她绝望地喊道。

伯纳姆先生并没有完全在听，因为他正与他的A4文件夹作斗争，反复开关文件夹扣环以重新排列文件。

他看起来不像是个准备最充分的人。其中一张纸看起来像是从电话簿里撕下来的。在谈到任何欧盟协议时，他用那种典型的男人式、轻飘飘的方式含糊地说：“英国人民将是老大”。议员们好奇这是否意味着他将举行另一次公投。他带着某种恼怒说道：“今天议院里没有人提议举行公投！”然而就在一两分钟后，他告诉议员们：“我们必须考虑各种选项。”维基·波拉德（Vicky Pollard）都要比他果断。

并非所有工党议员都感到兴奋。乔纳森·欣德（彭德尔选区）和梅兰妮·昂（格里姆斯比选区）试图让他承诺

巴德诺克女士昨晚表示：“威斯敏斯特最忙的工作就是拿着簸箕和刷子在首相后面跑，清扫他五分钟前说过的话。”

“暗示2016年的公投是不合法的，直到整个政府通讯机器匆忙出面澄清他的话……伯纳姆完全乱了阵脚，发表了一些显然没有经过深思熟虑的言论。”

历届政府的部长们多次否认关于俄罗斯干预脱欧结果的阴谋论。下议院情报与安全委员会2020年的一份报告发现，没有证据表明存在成功的干预。

今年1月，安全大臣丹·贾维斯表示：“历届政府都没有看到任何证据表明欧盟公投受到了成功的外国干预。”

昨晚，约翰逊先生指责伯纳姆先生采取的是一种旨在争取亲欧盟的自由民主党和绿党选民的愤世嫉俗的策略，并称其主张“根本不是事实”。

这位前首相表示，安全部门在他在任期间曾向他保证，俄罗斯并未成功干预脱欧结果，并补充道：“要么是安全部门改变了看法——这会非常奇怪——要么就是伯纳姆在就他被告知的内容撒谎。”

约翰逊先生告诉《每日邮报》：

---

“他想提前举行大选”

“伯纳姆会做任何他认为权宜之计的事情，也会说任何这样的话。他想提前举行大选，并且正试图给自民党和绿党选民提供足够的理由，让他们相信他可能会扭转脱欧，从而投票给他。”与此同时，法拉奇先生在肯特郡的一次新闻发布会上表示：“首相是个骗子。没错，就是个骗子。当鲍里斯·约翰逊担任外交大臣时，他问的首批问题之一就是：‘在公投活动中是否发现了俄罗斯的干预？’而答案是否定的。

“当时并没有俄罗斯的干预，而这场‘俄罗斯骗局’一直贯穿其中……这是一个脱离实际、过时的安迪·伯纳姆，带着各种古怪的想法。”

首相的这些言论是一系列干预行动中的最新一次，其目的似乎是为了在着手拆解脱欧协议之际，诋毁公投结果。

上个月在前往纽约的途中，伯纳姆先生在面对记者时虽然没有直接指责莫斯科，但声称脱欧是由试图“操纵舆论”的“外部力量”推动的。

“我在反思过去十年，”他说，“我们的经验是，当外部参与者试图操纵、歪曲事实[并]影响英国民主进程时，动荡就会随之而来。”在次日向联合国发表的演讲中，他说

是个骗子，没错，就是个骗子

大男人式的胡言乱语：昨天的安迪·伯纳姆

不会恢复人员自由流动，也没有任何加入欧元的可能。昂女士使用了“投降”这个动词。而伯纳姆先生的表述则变得有些模糊。

下议院最糟糕的一点就是你无法隐藏。你必须挺起胸膛，说出那些会被《议会记录》（Hansard）记载的话。

在议会发言席上比在电视采访、TikTok上或者通过公关操盘手泄露消息更难含糊其辞。那么，关于俄罗斯人操纵脱欧投票的事怎么说？伯纳姆先生前一刻还说，俄罗斯曾试图干预近期的政治事件，且这是第一次发生是“不可想象的”。

然而在接下来的另一番轻率之词中，他向朱利安·刘易斯爵士（保守党，新森林东区议员）断然否认，他从未暗示过俄罗斯改变了公投结果。

是迟钝、不诚实，还是在随波逐流地胡编乱造。我交给你们来决定是哪一种。

伯纳姆如何对其脱欧指控反悔

周日，安迪·伯纳姆声称俄罗斯干预了2016年的公投，此举撕开了英国脱欧的伤口。

尽管多年来的证据（包括来自军情五处以及工党自身内阁成员的证据）均指向相反结论，但首相依然发表了上述言论。

现在，在提出这一极具争议的暗示后的几个小时里，伯纳姆先生试图以一种非常公开的方式反悔。

周日，下午4点：首相接受《政治之余》（The Rest Is Politics）采访的视频发布，他在采访中告诉阿拉斯泰尔·坎贝尔和罗里·斯图尔特：“我向唐宁街询问了一个问题，2016年的公投是否受到了俄罗斯的干预？我得到了一个明确的答案：是的，确实有。”

周一，上午8点：外交部大臣斯蒂芬·多蒂试图撤回这些指控，他告诉LBC电台：“我们知道结果如何……我不认为他们破坏我们选举的努力取得了成功。”

“安全大臣在他之前就此提供的证词中已经非常明确地表示，他们尝试过但没有成功。但事实是，他们正在尝试干预，我们所有人都需要保持警惕。”

周一，11:30AM：奈杰尔·法拉奇指责伯纳姆先生撒谎。

周一，11:45AM：首相发言人表示，尽管俄罗斯多次尝试，但并未影响英国选举。

周一，15:52PM：凯米·巴德诺克在下议院就这场争端提出质疑，要求知道“这（指控）是从哪里来的”。

周一，15:58PM：伯纳姆先生告诉国会议员，他“并未暗示此类事情”，并补充道：“议长先生，记录显示，俄罗斯参与者曾试图干预2019年大选，我们认为这是第一次发生简直不可思议。”

此前的否认

2018年4月：政府在回应一项要求宣布公投结果“因外国干预而无效”的请愿时表示，没有“成功干预的证据”。

2020年7月：议会情报与安全委员会的一份报告发现，没有证据表明俄罗斯的干预影响了公投。

2020年9月：在回应另一项请愿时，政府表示他们“没有看到成功干预的证据”。

2025年12月：工党部长史蒂夫·里德（Steve Reed）表示：“没有证据表明任何之前的选举或公投结果受到了任何企图进行的外国干预的影响。”

2026年1月：工党部长丹·贾维斯（Dan Jarvis）表示：“历届政府都没有看到欧盟公投中存在成功外国干预的任何证据。”

2026年9月：工党部长弗洛伦斯·埃沙洛米（Florence Eshalomi）表示：“没有证据表明任何外国干预企图在实质性影响近期英国选举或公投结果方面取得了‘成功’。”

俄罗斯每年花费13 亿英镑 billion用于操纵信息。“我们讨论的是一场阴险的运动，它深入人们的家中，扭曲他们对自己国家和社区的感受——制造一种衰落的叙事，煽动分歧并播种绝望。”

保守党前排议员本·奥比塞-杰克蒂（Ben Obese-Jecty）表示，首相通过“质疑结果并向其支持者抛出诱饵”，显然是在为重新加入（欧盟）铺路。

伯纳姆先生表示，他将利用11月20日在布鲁塞尔与欧盟举行的一次峰会，讨论与欧洲建立更紧密关系的方案。他此前曾表示，这可能包括采取“彻底”的做法并重新加入。

他昨天告诉下议院，公众对脱欧的情绪自2016年以来已经发生了变化，并坚持认为“无论决定什么，英国人民都将拥有主导权”。

但他对于公众是否能对任何协议拥有直接发言权播下了混乱的种子，他表示：“今天……没有人提议举行公投。”

巴德诺克女士表示，首相试图向布鲁塞尔示好的行为，使他在6月梅克菲尔德（Makerfield）补选期间声称“我们现在最不应该做的事情就是重新讨论那些关于脱欧的争论”的说法成了一个笑话。

首相昨天坚持认为

“转身离去将是失职”

与欧盟达成更紧密的协议可以促进增长，他告诉议员们：“维持现状对英国来说是不够的。更糟糕的是，转身离去将是一次严重的失职。

‘我们需要以冷静、清醒且理性的态度看待当今的世界，以考虑什么对我们的国家是最有利的。’”他表示，工党在本届议会期间将坚持其竞选宣言中关于单一市场、关税同盟和人员自由流动等问题的“红线”。

但尽管一些“红墙”地区的工党议员表示担忧，他仍拒绝排除在下次选举后恢复人员自由流动的可能性。

彭德尔和克利瑟罗（Pendle and Clitheroe）的议员乔纳森·欣德（Jonathan Hinder）要求伯纳姆先生保证，“只要他还是首相，就不会恢复人员自由流动”。

首相表示他将“充分尊重”工党的竞选宣言，但补充道：“我们必须审视长期关系中可行的方案。

‘在接下来的十年里，这个国家需要知道自己将走向何方。这里没有任何预设。’”

前工党领袖金诺克勋爵（Lord Kinnock）昨晚表示，“伯纳姆的目标是重新加入”欧盟。

作为前欧盟委员，他告诉意大利报纸《共和报》（La Repubblica）：“他一直是一个坚定的亲欧派。在补选中，他正确地没有对此大肆宣扬。”

国际货币基金组织下调英国增长预测并发出警告

作者：亚历克斯·布鲁默（发自曼谷）与约翰-保罗·福特·罗哈斯

在国际货币基金组织（IMF）下调英国经济前景预测之际，安迪·伯纳姆收到警告，不应在难以负担的生活成本措施上挥霍。

IMF对面临生活成本挤压的国家的高支出发出警报，称这些国家反而应该勒紧裤腰带。

在IMF最新的《世界经济展望》报告中，英国和陷入危机的法国是唯二被下调明年增长预测的G7国家。

这对首相恢复繁荣的希望，以及工党在选举中承诺实现主要发达经济体最高增长的誓言是一个打击。与此同时，财政大臣

“在政治上难以撤回”

约翰·希利正准备制定一份预算，旨在年度能源账单激增的情况下提供“喘息空间”——这些账单预计在新年将上涨至 2,000 英镑 以上。

IMF的一次干预可能会让财政大臣对任何昂贵的支持方案产生迟疑，IMF表示，重建公共财政的需求是“紧迫的”，且任何新的支出措施“都应有充足的资金支持”。

随着债务飙升和债券市场动荡推高借贷成本，IMF表示，政府比过去有“更少的周旋空间”——例如在2022年，英国曾挥霍超过400 亿英镑 billion以保护家庭免受账单飙升的影响。

热泵补贴因国防资金需求而面临削减

财政困局：财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）

为了填补国防预算的资金缺口，热泵补贴将被大幅削减。

能源大臣米亚塔·法恩布勒（Miatta Fahnbulleh）被要求在本月的预算案中寻找20亿英镑的节省资金，以支持国防投资计划。

由于财政部担心热泵补贴实际上成了对中产阶级的补贴，每台最高价值 9,000 英镑 的热泵补贴目前正面临削减风险。

基尔·斯塔默爵士（Sir Keir Starmer）在离任前的最后几项行动之一中签署了这份延迟的国防计划。但尽管经过数月的争论，该方案的资金仍短缺近 50 亿英镑 billion。

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）已承诺在10月 28 日的预算案中填补这一缺口，并正向各部长施压要求节省开支。

这还可能导致学校翻新和道路项目被取消。福利支出预计将保持不变。

政府支付丰厚的净零排放补贴，以抵消将燃气锅炉更换为热泵的高昂成本。但这项价值 20 亿英镑.70亿美元 的计划现在看来很可能会被缩减。

保守党大佬伊恩·邓肯-史密斯爵士（Sir Iain Duncan Smith）对这一举措表示欢迎，他认为工党“对净零排放的痴迷已到了灾难的程度”。但 Octopus Energy 负责人格雷格·杰克逊（Greg Jackson）告诉《卫报》，这将是“毁灭性的打击”。

报告称，任何政府支持措施都“应谨慎使用”，并且在“冲击消散后迅速撤销”。

报告指出：“应避免广泛的燃料补贴、普遍的减税和价格管制。这些措施通常目标不精准，财政成本高，具有扭曲性，且一旦实施，在政治上很难撤销。”

国际货币基金组织（IMF）向英国和其他发达经济体发出严厉警告，敦促其解决高水平债务问题，以便能够“抵御未来的冲击”。

IMF 表示，“借贷成本大幅上升……财政和信用风险也随之增加”。并且指出，旨在应对人口老龄化和气候变化的“财政缓冲”（即政府的财务余地）已被用于“吸收重复出现的冲击”。

借贷利率上升与债务的结合“暴露了脆弱性”，IMF 敦促采取“强有力且审慎的行动来重建缓冲，并增强抵御财政冲击的能力”。

这些警告很难减轻人们对进一步加税的担忧，此前财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）已增加了 750 亿英镑 billion 的税负。

这种措辞呼应了英格兰银行行长安德鲁·贝利（Andrew Bailey）的评论，他上周警告称，财政大臣必须提交一份“可信的”预算案，否则将面临更多债券市场的动荡。

在曼谷举行的 IMF 年会上发布的最新预测中，由于“能源价格上涨和长期利率给消费和投资带来压力”，英国 2027 年的增长预测从 1.3% 下调至 1.2%。

而正处于预算危机、骚乱和政治瘫痪中的法国，其预测值从 0.9% 下调至 0.7%。

呼吁向养老金领取者征税以填补财政黑洞

工党最青睐的智库支持对养老金领取者和房东进行一项 £60 亿加元 的税收突袭，以帮助填补公共财政中的“巨大漏洞”，并宣称：“总得有人为此买单。”

在预算案公布前两周的一份报告中，决议基金会（Resolution Foundation）还建议将目标指向房主、银行和财富。然而，这家左翼智库表示，不能指望福利领取者面对削减——理由是福利账单中“几乎没有可精简的空间”。

该报告的建议包括通过改革资本利得税来筹集 £40 亿加元

具体方式是取消资产所有者在去世或离开该国时的免税待遇。此外，降低小企业必须缴纳增值税（VAT）的门槛可带来 £20 亿加元 的收入。

这重启了关于税收转换的想法，即所得税每英镑增加 2 便士，而国民保险则降低 2 便士。

该提案将影响自雇人士、房东和养老金领取者——这些人需要缴纳所得税，但无需缴纳国民保险。

报告称：“这可能会引起争议，但如果要为重大新支出提供资金，那么总得有人为此买单。”

报告估计，由于中东冲突导致“英国公共财政出现巨大漏洞”，财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）的预算空间（即他为满足财务规则而预留的缓冲金）已从 £240 亿加元 下降至 £120 亿加元。

报告还建议为年能源账单激增至 2,000 英镑 的困难家庭提供一项 £20 亿加元 的援助方案——但仅限于最贫困人群——并呼吁为住房支持增加 20 亿英镑.30亿美元 的资金。

现今的残疾申领人数超过一战后

作者：Martin Beckford 和 David Wilcock

一项重大报告发现，近年来残疾申领人数的增长速度快于第一次世界大战之后。

在 2019-20 年至 2024-25 年期间，约 180 万 名处于工作年龄的英国人被归类为残疾人士——包括患有心理健康状况的人员。

相比之下，一项针对英国“破碎的福利体系”的研究显示，到 1923 年 3 月，在一战中受伤的军人中已有 160 万 人提交了残疾申领。

社会公正中心（Centre for Social Justice）表示，这意味着疫情后申领人数的增幅已超过了战后时期的总数。

英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰共有多达 670 万 人

“出问题了”

目前领取失业福利。报告还警告称，国家补贴造成了“福利陷阱”，即领取福利比工作更有利。这是因为在领取健康和住房支持以及个人独立支付（PIP）的申领者可以获得 27,400 英镑 的免税收入。

该智库的乔·沙拉姆（Joe Shalam）表示，四分之一的劳动力在税后收入低于此数额的事实表明，“出了严重的问题”。政府表示，正通过恢复面对面评估等措施来解决这些问题。

与此同时，有披露称，每年有超过 £10 亿加元 被支付给患有自闭症、多动症（ADHD）和抑郁症的青少年。《泰晤士报》昨晚报道，一名专家表示，“这些孩子需要的是帮助，但他们得到的却是现金”。

救济金支出比住房多出 £1.1 万亿英镑

一项研究显示，在过去 20 年里，福利预算比交通和住房等项目的支出多出了 £1.1 万亿英镑。

报告发现，政府救济金的支出导致“在二十年的经济失败期间，国家部分地区处于麻木状态”。

此前，安迪·伯纳姆上个月排除了对福利金进行“粗暴削减”的可能性，因为这“绝不是工党的方式”。

社会正义中心（Centre for Social Justice）智库发现，在 2006 年至 2025, 期间，英国在劳动年龄人口的救济金上花费了 £1.6 万亿英镑。这远远超过了在交通、科学和住房方面的投资。

《依赖状态》（State of Dependency）报告显示，在失业率较高的地区，这种差距尤为明显。该智库的本·格雷格（Ben Gregg）表示，福利金被用来“麻痹痛苦，而不是提供……希望”。

现在，管理层已确认将对摄影实施更严格的限制。

酒店经理索菲·沃兰特（Sophie Volant）表示，一些餐厅访客花在拍照上的时间比享受美食的时间还要多。

“我们有很多忠实的回头客，他们不把这家酒店看作酒店，而是把 Cap 酒店视为他们的夏季寓所，”沃兰特女士告诉《旅游周刊》（Travel Weekly）。“我们必须想出一个解决方案。”

她表示，一些非住客带着大包衣服前来，为了在酒店内拍摄照片而多次更换服装。这家酒店曾接待过巴勃罗·毕加索、马克·夏加尔、欧内斯特·海明威和 F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德等人。

“为了维护所有客人的安宁与隐私，禁止进行商业拍摄，”酒店网站现在声明。有摄影需求的客人将被引导至礼宾部。

我们是如何不再热爱卡仕达酱炖鱼的！

作者：威廉·亨特（Wiliam Hunter）

从卡仕达酱烤鱼到牡蛎汤，英国的海鲜菜单曾经比现在大胆得多。

一项研究揭示，前几代人享有的令人眼花缭乱的菜肴种类在过去一个世纪里在很大程度上消失了。研究人员仔细研究了从 1923 年至今《好管家》（Good Housekeeping）杂志中出现的数千道菜肴，

发现这个国家现在仅痴迷于五个品种——鳕鱼、黑线鳕、金枪鱼、三文鱼和虾占据了英国所有食用鱼类的 80%。

埃克塞特大学的露丝·瑟斯顿（Ruth Thurstan）博士表示，这“反映了读者被鼓励烹饪的种类在缩小”。她收集了跨越一个世纪的 1,192 个食谱。在 20 世纪 70 年代之前，比目鱼、鲱鱼和牡蛎非常流行。

此后，《人类与自然》（People and Nature）的研究发现，人们更加关注这五大品种——这与英国海域鱼类数量的下降以及超市和冷冻食品的普及相吻合。

黑客通过加热超市冷柜发起“冷战”

黑客袭击了法国数百家超市，使其冷柜解冻，导致价值数百万英镑的食品腐烂。

攻击者远程触发制冷系统吹出50℃的热风，导致部分冰箱内部温度达到36℃。

据称，约 100 家Cooperative U和多达 300 家Intermarche门店受到影响。

检察官已确认此次入侵，并表示这导致周日夜间发生了多起火灾。

动机仍然是个谜。据信，包括Carrefour、Monoprix和E.Leclerc在内的其他食品零售商也受到了影响，但尚未发表评论。

作者：Will Hallowell

Cooperative U首席执行官Dominique Schelcher表示：“针对保存新鲜产品以及法国人民食品供应至关重要的设备进行攻击，性质极其严重且前所未有。这是不可接受的。”

他昨天补充说，公司团队已“全面动员”以恢复局面。

他说：“有必要进行调查，以彻底查明此次攻击的真相。”与此同时，Intermarche表示，其员工将不得不“扔掉所有”新鲜和冷冻产品。

该公司谴责了食品浪费和经济损失（未提供具体数字），并警告称，保险单可能会出现问题，因为其可能不

“损失数百万欧元”

涵盖此类店内事故。据报道，黑客的目标是丹麦公司Danfoss的软件，该软件允许商店远程管理冷藏单元。

Danfoss表示，公司已识别出该风险，但受影响的型号较旧，其安全软件无法更新。

拥有Intermarche的Groupement Mousquetaires告诉《费加罗报》，其估计损失达“数百万欧元”。

巴黎检察官表示，已针对“影响法国境内数家大型食品零售连锁店冰箱的大规模网络攻击”展开调查。

此次调查将有助于“确定受害者，并建立其报告的食品损失及火灾爆发与此次攻击之间的联系”。

在靠近德国边境的下莱茵省阿根欧（Haguenau），Intermarche门店经理Sophie Matt表示：“在零售业工作 25 年后，我从未想过这种情况会发生在我们身上。我从未经历过这样的攻击。”

她说，当夜班员工发现冰箱异常发烫时，分店接到了警报。Matt女士估计她店内的损失为 €50,000。

人们越来越担心恶意行为者的网络攻击可能在欧洲造成的潜在混乱。

罗曼·亚伯拉莫维奇在商业上一直采取一种果断且不讲情面的方式。2002年，当俄罗斯国有的斯拉夫石油公司（Slavneft）被挂牌出售时，这位驻莫斯科的寡头没有犹豫。

但对于这位前切尔西足球俱乐部所有者来说，不幸的是，一家名为CNPC的中国石油巨头出价是亚伯拉莫维奇所提供金额的两倍，即 18.6 亿英镑 billion（18.6亿英镑）的两倍——于是北京方面的人员前往俄罗斯敲定交易。

就在中国代表团离开莫斯科机场时，该团体的一名关键成员在枪口威胁下被绑架。

中方收到了信号。在匆忙退出拍卖后，被绑架的人员被释放，他们随即搭乘下一班飞机回国——而亚伯拉莫维奇则在他的数十亿能源帝国中又增加了一项折扣收购。

鉴于他长期以来在财务上的欺诈记录——从年轻时偷走一整车柴油，到向克里姆林宫一名官员行贿 £1000 万（1000万英镑）——本周他再次陷入另一场敛财骗局也就不足为奇了。

BBC《全景》（Panorama）节目昨晚播出的一项调查显示。

亚布拉莫维奇“在英国顶尖会计师事务所德勤的帮助下隐藏数十亿资金”

似乎表明亚布拉莫维奇的关联人士与总部位于英国的全球最大会计师事务所德勤（Deloitte）共谋，通过伪造文件以

---

其巨额财富面临曝光的可能性

试图隐藏其部分财富并逃税。这项“脏活”显然是由一家规模较小的公司 MeritServus 执行的，而德勤则对此全部签字认可。

亚布拉莫维奇是许多在1995年至2022年期间于避税天堂塞浦路斯设立公司，以将家乡利润转移隐藏的俄罗斯人之一。

但当塞浦路斯政府突然出台一项要求账目公开的“透明度法”时，

亚布拉莫维奇面临着其巨额财富被曝光的可能性。

在该法律出台之时，德勤塞浦路斯分所已为亚布拉莫维奇的塞浦路斯公司 Amiscan Investments 准备了账目草案，该公司拥有他的许多房产和玩物。

这包括位于西萨塞克斯郡占地424英亩的 Fyning Hill 庄园、他在伦敦的豪华公寓、位于法国南部的 Chateau de la Croe（原温莎公爵夫妇所有），以及他的超级游艇和私人飞机机队。仅此投资组合的总额就高达£5.08 亿。

由于担心令人震惊的细节可能会公开，亚布拉莫维奇的关联人士和“企业服务公司”MeritServus 决定，正如 BBC 所言，去“重写历史”。

MeritServus 制作了一套账目，声称这些资产已于2003, 转移到 Amiscan 位于英属维尔京群岛的母公司，因此无需申报。德勤塞浦路斯分所并未对此提出异议，而是签署了显示余额仅为$75,000.的新账目。MeritServus 还采用了类似的手段，以逃避亚布拉莫维奇另外两项巨额资产所产生利息的税收：存放在其公司 Kravin Investments 的$2billion以及存放在 Electus Investments 的100亿美元。

在 Electus 的案例中，在将转移至英属维尔京群岛的时间安全地回溯之后，2006年的公开账目显示其资产仅价值$145,000（11 万英镑）。数十亿资金就这样“消失”了。

这一切是在2023年一次被称为“塞浦路斯机密”（Cyprus Confidential）的泄密事件中被揭露的，此次泄密涉及来自包括 MeritServus 在内的六家塞浦路斯公司的360 万多份文件。

当然，没有人承认有任何不当行为。代表59岁的亚布拉莫维奇的一家律师事务所告诉 BBC，他“并未参与这些公司（Amiscan, Kravin 和 Electus）的日常运营”，并且在专业顾问提出方案的情况下，“依赖该建议是完全正当且合法的”。

德勤塞浦路斯分所表示，由于文件已超过20年且无法再获取，因此无法发表评论；而 MeritServus 在“塞浦路斯机密”泄密事件后已关闭。

亚布拉莫维奇财富的基石长期以来一直深陷争议。他在1995年通过一场操纵的拍卖买下了一家国有石油公司，从而赚到了数十亿资金，当时他仅支付了£1.9 亿用于

改革英国党誓言关闭英国庇护系统 5 年

奈杰尔·法拉奇昨日在一部 43 英尺长的移民充气艇复制品前摆拍，并誓言如果他当选首相，将关闭英国的庇护系统五年。

这个巨大的道具被揭幕，

作者：Christian Calgie

资深政治特派记者

旨在强调英国面临的不再仅仅是“小船危机”。该道具在改革英国党（Reform UK）党魁这场聚焦于终止移民进入英国的新闻发布会上处于中心位置。

法拉奇先生在复制的充气艇面前显得十分渺小。改革英国党表示，该模型是根据 8 月份一次英吉利海峡穿越中将创纪录的 230 名移民带到英国的船只按原比例制作的。

他承诺在改革英国党政府的第一任期内完全暂停庇护系统，90,000 名待处理的申请者将被自动拒绝并遣返——其中包括妇女和儿童。

店内 / 点击取货 / 送货 选定门店。视供应情况而定。显示为店内价格。Swizzels Scary Mix, 364g, £2.00 (每 100g 55p), Haribo Share the Happy Multipack Bag, 352g, 原价 £2.98, 现价 £2.00 (每 100g 57p)。万圣节渐变色女巫装扮服, £8.00, 万圣节 Mowder 连衣裙装扮服, £8.00, 儿童万圣节糖果桶, 74p。可能产生取货、送货及最低订单费用。取货 / 送货时段视供应情况而定。可能不包括 Asda Express 和小型门店，详见 ASDA.com / smallstores

他的政府还将关闭官方的重新安置计划，例如针对阿富汗难民的计划，该计划在 2015 年至 2022 年间引入了近 50 万人。

改革英国党表示，将对此前获得难民身份的人员进行全面评估，撤销那些通过小船抵达后获得身份的人员，或其原籍国目前被视为安全的人员的身份。

该党应对庇护申请者、非法移民和外籍犯罪者的政策将动用英国政府的每一个环节，要么手动遣返那些不应留在该国的人，要么强迫他们自愿回国。

法拉奇先生坚称，改革英国党最新的打击移民承诺并非“激进或疯狂”，而是回归到任何一个“将安全放在议程首位的正常国家”应当采取的行为。

在上个月的英国皇家空军（RAF）费尔菲尔德事件之后，法拉奇先生表示，在他发出警告后，事实证明他是正确的

---

“政府没有履行其职责”

他警告称，伊朗等外国敌人将利用英吉利海峡移民危机来破坏英国的安全。

他表示：“我曾不止一次向议会警告，我掌握的情报显示伊朗政权正利用小船危机将他们的特工走私入境。你们知道劳工党议员们是怎么回应的吗？他们大喊：‘你真可耻！你真可耻！’好吧，可耻的是他们。”

“这个政府没有履行其职责；它没有保护这个国家的国家安全，而且遗憾的是，这一次我再次被证明是正确的。”

改革英国党（Reform UK）的政策文件指出，任何拒绝接受遣返航班的国家都将面临签证禁令、商品关税，甚至禁止该国航空公司使用英国领空的威胁。该文件点名提到了巴基斯坦、索马里、厄立特里亚、叙利亚、阿富汗和苏丹。法拉奇先生提到了近期因巴基斯坦拒绝接受罗奇代尔诱骗帮头目沙比尔·艾哈迈德（Shabir Ahmed）被遣返而引发的争端。他警告说：“很抱歉，巴基斯坦，但你们现在必须接回那个目前在英格兰西北部自由生活的男人。”

“如果这意味着在巴基斯坦的案例中，我们必须实施签证禁令，那么我们将这样做。如果这意味着威胁巴基斯坦国民在伦敦的资产，我们将这样做。如果这意味着实施禁飞令，我们将这样做。在极端情况下，我们甚至会考虑征收关税。人们最终会接回他们的坏蛋的。”

在肯特郡海斯（Hythe）举行的改革英国党活动中宣布的其他策略还包括：在餐厅进行食品卫生检查期间进行签证检查。

此外，还将鼓励邻居举报疑似“隐形”非法合租的事件，同时敦促地方议会使用航空成像技术。

内政发言人齐亚·尤苏夫（Zia Yusuf）承诺，改革英国党政府“将使国家的所有机构都服务于一个群体，且仅服务于这一个群体：英国人民”。

劳工党主席布里奇特·菲利普森（Bridget Phillipson）表示，改革英国党的这一声明是“绝望和软弱的明显迹象”，旨在转移人们对其捐款问题的持续关注。

内政大臣：议员需要更多保护

内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈穆德（Shabana Mahmood）在宣布对重要人物（VIP）的安全保障进行审查时，于昨日承认议员们未获得足够的保护。

与此同时，奈杰尔·法拉奇猛烈抨击部长们未能听取他关于保护的请求，而哈里王子则在安全安排问题上与内政部陷入僵局。

在同事安·威德科姆（Ann Widdecombe）于 7 月在自己家中被钝器击毙后，这位改革英国党（Reform UK）领导人加大了对劳工党的压力，要求增加由纳税人出资为其提供的安保。

上周在法庭上，其涉嫌凶手被指受极端左翼思想和“对改革英国党的敌意”驱动，随后调查人员将其与去年 4 月发生在法拉奇先生伦敦住所的一起事件联系起来。

由 犯罪记者 Ryan Hooper 报道

内政部表示，包括王室在内的公众人物的安全安排将得到“紧急审查，以确保在安全威胁日益增加的情况下，那些风险最高的人能得到更好的保护”。

马哈穆德女士告诉议员们：“显然，为那些服务于公众的人提供的保护是不充分的。因此，我今天宣布，我将立即扩大对目前并非国会议员的政治人物的警察支持。这将包括前议员、贵族议员和政党发言人。”

拥挤：8 月在英吉利海峡中载有 230 名移民的巨型充气艇

评论员：国会议员 奈杰尔·法拉奇

改革英国党（Reform UK）党魁

早在 2020年5月9日——当时已经很明显有大量非法移民正乘船横跨英吉利海峡——我就在社交媒体上警告道：“这是一场入侵的开始。”

这引发了觉醒左翼（woke Left）的一阵谴责。但就在第二天，我参加了 LBC 广播节目并强化了我的观点。

我并非轻率地选择那个词。但我错了吗？那一年，近 8,500 名乘船移民在南海岸登陆（相比之下，2019年为 1,800 人，2018年仅 300 人）。2021年，约 28,526 人完成了横跨；到 2022年，这一数字激增至 45,774 人；而去年至少有 41,472 人通过此途径进入。

总计，目前已有超过 200,000 名移民横跨英吉利海峡。如果这都不算入侵，我不知道什么才算。

这个问题在保守党和工党执政期间都一直未能解决。

多年来，议会中最大的两个政党以及他们在主流媒体中的盟友一直将这场入侵称为“小船危机”——仿佛这是一场不可避免的天灾，就像地震一样。

但这场“危机”之所以持续，是因为我所谓的“统一党”（uniparty）多年来未能采取必要措施来阻止它。不要只听我的话：选民们也心知肚明。根据 Ipsos 最近的一项民调，目前只有 16% 的英国人表示在移民问题上最信任工党，而只有令人尴尬的 9% 表示信任保守党。

正如《每日邮报》的读者深知的，这些船只的规模日益令人难以置信。几年前还是仅能搭载少数人的小型破旧充气艇，而如今巨大的“超级橡皮艇”一次可运送多达 230 人——这种乘客载量通常只见于波音 787 梦想客机。

我们必须结束这场疯狂。这就是为什么我昨天在多佛宣布了由我们优秀的改革英国党政策团队制定的详细计划。

在 9 月于伯明翰举行的党代会上，我们已经承诺在就任后的前 100 天内完全停止船只入境，而“堡垒行动”（Operation Fortress）——我们部署皇家海军在英吉利海峡的蓝图——将是其核心。该计划已获得皇家海军指挥官克里斯·格雷斯（Chris Grace，退役）和前商船海军船舶工程师约翰·凯尔（John Cail）的认可。

除此之外，被视为法国下一任总理热门人选的乔丹·巴德拉（Jordan Bardella）在 NEC 展馆与我一同登台，签署了一份“谅解备忘录”，其国家将接收乘船移民，以在更广泛的范围内尝试完全阻止此类横跨行为。

现在，我们新宣布的“恢复正义行动”（Operation Restoring Justice）将实施国内威慑措施，使非法移民无法继续留在英国滥用我们的慷慨。

目前，无论伯纳姆如何声称，对这些人（且绝大多数是男性）最大的吸引力，就是有望以英国纳税人的钱为代价终身领取福利——或者对于那些真正有野心的人来说，是在黑市非法工作。

令人难以置信的是，目前约 130 万 名移民在申请通用信贷（universal credit），另有 52,000 人根据所谓的“人道主义保护”有权留在英国。这让国家损失了数十亿资金。同样令人震惊的是，去年近 40 分之一的社会住房被分配给了所谓的“难民”。

那么，在改革英国党政府的领导下，通用信贷、住房补贴、免费托儿服务以及大多数非缴费性福利的获取权限将仅限于英国公民。

与此同时，我们的“Deliveroo 法”将使大公司老板在从非法雇佣中获利时承担个人及刑事责任。我们将赋予地方议会在检查餐厅和私人房产等场所时进行移民检查的权力——当然，我们将停止使用移民酒店。

改革英国党也是唯一一个将关闭所有“重新安置”计划的政党，这些计划导致数千名不配获得资格的人被带到这里。

任何通过工党即将“重新开放”的路线抵达的人，都可以预料到他们的居留权将被撤销——并被驱逐出境。

当然，为了实现其中大部分目标，我们必须退出《欧洲人权公约》，废除《人权法案》，通过《非法移民（大规模驱逐）法案》，并停止适用 1951 年的《难民公约》。

那些拒绝接回非法入侵我国海岸的本国国民的国家，将面临签证禁令或关税。在极端情况下，我们将利用第三方国家协议将这些人驱逐到其他地方。

最后，我们将公布关于刑事犯罪者国籍的完整数据——这些数据一直被历届政府可耻地向英国人民隐瞒。

简而言之，改革英国党（Reform UK）将利用国家的所有机构，使人们无法继续非法居住在我国。

我们现在已经制定了最全面、最坚定且最现实的计划，以结束非法移民骗局并确保我们的边境安全。

时间不多了。我挑战“开放边境”的伯纳姆立即举行选举，让选民决定他们想要谁入驻唐宁街。

诋毁脱欧投票的拙劣企图

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）关于脱欧投票中存在“明显”俄罗斯干预的指控，是对那次历史性全民公投合法性的抹黑。

2016年执掌外交部的鲍里斯·约翰逊（Boris Johnson）昨日将首相的言论斥为“纯属谎言”。

此外，约翰逊先生引用了他当时与安全部门的对话，并表示，要么是安全部门改变了看法（这不太可能），要么就是伯纳姆先生在“撒谎”。

首相的言论导致唐宁街迅速改口。

那么，他究竟为什么要提起这件事？

答案当然是，他无法接受英国离开欧盟是民主决定的结果。

他正试图为他所希望的与布鲁塞尔更紧密的接轨铺路，甚至在昨日暗示，如果不这样做将是“玩忽职守”。

但这里有一剂给首相的“俄罗斯真相血清”：公众对这种回顾过去的态度毫无兴趣。

如果他试图强行回归该集团，这极有可能涉及巨大的惩罚性成本，包括放弃英镑而采用欧元，以及恢复不受限制的人员自由流动——英国选民肯定不会愿意容忍这一点。

掌控人工智能

人工智能正处于危险的失控状态，而荒谬的是，全球各国政府都缺乏采取适当监管的意愿。

据透露，受伊朗支持的胡塞武装利用人工智能开发了先进的导弹制导系统。

与此同时，微软首席执行官观察到，像牛奶和洗衣机这样平凡的产品所受的监管竟然比人工智能还要严格。

为什么政府发现很难对互联网技术实施安全限制？多年来，整个网络一直是欺诈、儿童性虐待、令人作呕的色情内容和其他犯罪活动的温床，在这里，体面的人类行为标准似乎根本不适用。

也许是因为政治家们不愿干涉“未来”。

但如果人工智能技术出错，它有可能瘫痪现代生活的方方面面，甚至造成更严重的后果。

政府昨日公布的计划无法胜任这项工作。

拥有详细计算机知识的权威人士几乎每天都在就人工智能构成的严重威胁发出警告。这些警告应当被重视。

工党在处理寻求庇护和小船危机方面日益孤立。它满足于仅仅在边缘地带修修补补，对政策和法律进行微调。这远远不够，而且永远无法击败那些极其猖獗的人口贩卖团伙。改革英国党（Reform UK）和恢复党（Restore）昨日都提出了激进的方案，而保守党则制定了严肃的计划，准备退出《欧洲人权公约》并对非法移民实施大规模驱逐。与此同时，工党被安抚自身左翼的需求所束缚，希望能以此赢得自由民主党和绿党的选票。

显然，这个政府没有勇气去做必要的事情。

特朗普吹嘘他将使美国再次伟大。讽刺的是，他现在正主导着美国作为超级大国的缓慢衰落

唐纳德·特朗普在自封的世界和平谈判者角色中，从未缺乏傲慢。

去年一月第二次就职时，这位美国第47任总统声称他将开启一个新时代：“我最令我自豪的遗产将是作为一名和平缔造者和统一者，”他宣称道。

上周，在联合国人权事务高级专员纳瓦内特姆·皮莱（Navanethem Pillay）获得诺贝尔和平奖，且他显然认为该奖项本应授予自己之后，他进一步表示：“我拯救的生命比历史上任何人都多。”

然而，自他就职以来，情况已变得极其明朗：这位总统最持久的遗产很可能成为数十年来对世界秩序的最大威胁。

从乌克兰的战场到石油富集的波斯湾，再到动荡的红海海域，特朗普反复无常的外交政策后果正影响着全球。

令人胆寒

在全球有 130 场武装冲突在肆虐、世界极需冷静且经验丰富的领导力之时，世界却发现自己依赖于一位行为反复无常、正在破坏国际稳定的美国总统。

就在本周末，也门胡塞武装对利雅得机场发动的导弹袭击导致 14 人死亡，数百人受伤。这代表了中东冲突中一次令人胆寒且前所未有的升级，威胁着将全球市场推入混乱之中。

对于沙特阿拉伯及其他地区的人来说，一个恐怖的现实是：胡塞武装——一个由伊朗支持的民兵组织，其战士此前常被轻视为不过是些赤脚的部落民——现在不仅有能力让阿拉伯世界最大的经济体陷入动荡，还能给西方造成如此巨大的经济损失，以至于可能使目前美国与伊朗之间的战争显得微不足道。

迄今为止，人们的注意力大多集中在伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的封锁上，这条狭窄的水道通常有海量全球石油和天然气通过。此次中断给能源市场带来了剧烈冲击，导致价格飙升，并令人担忧地威胁到了燃料和化肥的供应，而这些正是工业和农业生产的命脉。

但在西南方向数百英里处，还存在另一个可能被证明破坏性更大的海上瓶颈，尤其是对英国和欧洲而言。

将也门与非洲之角分隔开的曼德海峡，是进入红海以及最终进入苏伊士运河的门户。

它是国际贸易的主要动脉之一，不仅运输石油和液化天然气，还承载着运输从中国汽车到日本电子产品和白色家电等各类商品的集装箱船。如果胡塞武装成功关闭这条通道，后果将是灾难性的。

红海走廊处理着全球约 30% 的集装箱运输量。虽然支付更高的油费给汽车加油是一回事，但当汽车、冰箱、洗衣机以及几乎所有其他商品的供应突然陷入危机时，情况就完全不同了。

这并非理论上的威胁。胡塞武装通过对利雅得机场的袭击证明，他们拥有能够穿透沙特防御系统的导弹和无人机，而沙特在先进军事设备上已投入数十亿加元。

在世界贸易的未来鲜有如此脆弱的时刻，现任美国总统的不可预测性，使我们无法再假设华盛顿会干预曼德海峡以保护全球商业航运。

虽然美国海军在乔·拜登执政期间可能会这样做——2024 年，美国航母打击群曾被部署以应对胡塞武装对红海航运的袭击，尽管效果不佳——但现任美国总统已表现出一种令人震惊的不情愿，不愿保护除美国利益之外的任何事物。

例如，就在上个月，他取消了一次针对胡塞武装的导弹袭击，以换取对方保证不会袭击该地区的美国船只。而且他完全清楚，如果他发动袭击，胡塞武装很可能会攻击美国在中东的基地。

事实是，尽管言辞好战，但特朗普总统在面对国际权力的现实时显得极其软弱。特朗普的支持者认为他们选出了一位“美国优先”的总统，他将使他们脱离昂贵的海外纠葛，重建经济，并结束前几届政府的军事冒险。

然而，他们曾经的英雄所取得的成果几乎恰恰相反。随着中期选举迅速临近，总统正面临其海外冒险所带来的政治后果。

美国选民不太可能奖赏一位因为其军事冒险而直接导致燃料账单和日常生活成本大幅上涨的总统。在距离投票仅剩三周的时间里，民调显示他未能遏制其支持率的下滑。

瓦解

这就是为什么特朗普决定放宽对俄罗斯柴油的制裁，以牺牲长期国际稳定为代价，追求短期政治权宜之计。

多年来，西方对弗拉基米尔·普京的政策一直基于这样一个原则：俄罗斯必须为其入侵乌克兰付出经济代价。

然而现在，这位美国总统准备放宽这些限制，以缓解能源危机并试图降低美国的物价。

这传递出的信号简直令人震惊。虽然西方的制裁从未完全滴水不漏，且欧洲国家在涉及关键经济利益时也允许例外，但有限的豁免与全球最强大的民主国家向俄罗斯提供生命线之间存在着巨大的差异。这增加了西方对乌克兰的整体战略可能瓦解的可能性。

与此同时，特朗普继续宣扬关于其外交成就的夸张且幻想式的主张。他在周日写道：“立即生效，俄罗斯与乌克兰之间的战争进入‘能源停火’状态。双方均已同意。”

这一说法在基辅引起了惊讶，因为俄罗斯的袭击仍在继续。

威胁越响亮，宣言越夸张，就越给人一种印象：这个男人在事件失控之时，正拼命地摆姿态。

灾难性的

当然，这些危机不能被分开看待。俄罗斯入侵乌克兰扰乱了我们获取东欧能源供应的渠道，而与伊朗的对抗则威胁到了来自波斯湾的供应。现在，胡塞武装的升级行动威胁到了连接欧洲与亚洲的关键商业航线。实际上，我们正面临一场灾难性的“三重打击”。

在特朗普大放厥词之时，英国和法国或许会向沙特阿拉伯承诺提供援助，但两者都没有足够的资源来取代美国力量——而美国长期以来一直是国际安全和自由贸易的保证人。

而这或许正是所有前景中最令人不安的一点。在胡塞武装、伊朗和沙特阿拉伯之间斡旋达成协议以消除对国际贸易威胁的任务，可能将落在中国（可能与印度一起）的肩上。

北京完全有理由希望出现这种结果，因为其出口经济依赖于畅通的贸易路线。然而，他们的干预将是最令人不安的一种：这个威权国家可能会要求什么样的回报？

美国世界领导地位的侵蚀并非始于特朗普。但在这位总统的领导下，这一进程正以惊人的速度加快。

残酷的讽刺在于，这个承诺要“MAGA”的人，反而可能主持美国作为国际超级大国的伟大解体。

您的组织是否对更年期友好？在今年的“更年期意识月”里，首席执行官是否佩戴了特殊的丝带？您是否在使用特制的粉色和紫色马克杯喝水？您是否获得了可下载的更年期“工具包”？人力资源部门是否举办过任何提高更年期意识的义卖活动？

近年来，更年期已从禁忌变成了时尚，它不仅成为了日常企业文化的一部分，甚至受到了推崇——还配备了品牌化的办公室周边商品。毕竟，还有什么比一个写着“我是更年期倡导者”的挂绳更能体现进步呢？

作为一名 45 岁的女性，我自己也离“更年期”不远了。我很感激这个话题不再被秘密和羞耻所笼罩，但我担心，那些出于好意的宣传活动反而给中年职场女性带来了不利影响。

我们要明确一点：没有人想回到那个更年期不可提及，或者仅是缺乏科学依据的民间传闻的糟糕旧时光。但天平是否已经过度倾斜，走向了极端的“意识觉醒”？我担心确实如此。

我们被大量关于女性在更年期期间挣扎的故事所轰炸。我们知道哈莉·贝瑞 (Halle Berry) 的医生曾将她的阴道症状误诊为疱疹；格温妮丝·帕特洛 (Gwyneth Paltrow) 经历过出汗和暴躁的情绪；奥普拉·温弗瑞 (Oprah Winfrey) 曾出现心悸，布鲁克·希尔兹 (Brooke Shields) 则有夜间盗汗。

达维娜·麦考尔 (Davina McCall) 的纪录片提高了更年期在英国的关注度，随后许多名人也分享了她们的故事：洛林·凯利 (Lorraine Kelly)、加比·洛根 (Gabby Logan)、玛丽埃拉·弗罗斯特鲁普 (Mariella Frostrup)、吉莉安·安德森 (Gillian Anderson)、朱莉·沃尔特斯 (Julie Walters)、佩妮·兰开斯特 (Penny Lancaster)。更年期影响力人士拥有数百万追随者，而像路易丝·纽森 (Louise Newson) 博士这样知名专家在全国各地的剧院演出场场爆满，观众们渴望听到激素替代疗法 (HRT) 或其他治疗方法能如何帮助她们。

这些女性试图帮助他人应对这一人生转变，不应受到批评。去看全科医生，明确症状，知道这些是可以治疗的。对此我完全赞同。但虽然个体倡导者心怀好意，但从整体上看，他们帮助营造了一种印象，即一名平均 40 岁的女性就像一颗定时炸弹，很快就会在情感和生理上发生爆炸。

在涉及职场女性声誉时，这种情况极其不利。2025 年《就业权利法案》引入了一项新法律：英国所有大型企业（员工人数超过 250 人的企业）都必须制定

从明年起，许多公司将不得不制定一项“更年期行动计划”。随着一项研究对倡导者们提出的主张提出质疑……

为什么达维娜、玛丽埃拉等人让女性在职场中的地位倒退了数十年

并在明年春天前发布一份所谓的“绝经行动计划”。政府坚持要求企业从官方名单中至少选择两项行动，例如进行“绝经风险评估”或建立支持小组。

是的，在经济增长乏力的时刻，英国正强迫快速发展的企业将时间花在设立“绝经冠军”（Menopause Champions）、“绝经副手”和“绝经委员会”上，而不是用于争取新合同。

然而遗憾的是，这项政策并非由数据驱动，而是由一些出于好意但空洞的废话所推动。

这是一个全球领先的绝经研究专家的观点。来自澳大利亚墨尔本莫纳什大学的苏珊·戴维斯（Susan Davis）教授在该领域拥有四十年的专家经验。对于政府强迫公司采取“绝经行动计划”的决定，她告诉我：“政策应该基于强有力的数据。而这个并非如此。”

她指出，妇女与平等委员会在2022年的一份议会报告中称，英国有近900,000名女性因绝经症状而离职。但请等一下——英国50多岁的女性人数不足500万。

“那个关于900,000名女性离开职场的数据到底是从哪里来的？”戴维斯教授问道。结果发现，答案是一项针对所有年龄段女性的“营销调查”。她说：“他们仅评估了1,000名女性，而[在900,000这个推算数字中]还包括了那些因怀孕和不孕等原因而离职的人。”

由于对如此单薄——甚至可以说是根本不存在的——证据感到沮丧，戴维斯教授领导了一个研究团队，开展了极其严谨的“澳大利亚女性中年时期”调查，并在本月初于巴西举行的国际绝经学会大会上发表。

该研究分析了8,000名40至69岁之间的澳大利亚女性，不仅考察了绝经状态，还考察了就业、家庭、酒精摄入量等因素。其重点是围绝经期，因为症状在此时期可能达到顶峰。

研究的核心发现犹如一颗重磅炸弹：在工作能力、请假天数以及工作受损程度方面，绝经前女性与围绝经期女性之间没有区别。零。完全没有。毫无差异。

这粉碎了政府战略核心的假设。它让“每个办公室都需要一名绝经冠军”的想法变得荒谬。它揭示了政治家在渴望支持“进步”事业时，是如何忽视对证据的需求的。

这项事业的问题在于，它威胁到进步的进程。正如戴维斯教授所说：“这有可能产生反作用，雇主在看到一名45至55岁之间的女性时，会自动假设她会有问题，因为该女性处于围绝经期。”

她当然是对的。想象一个正在寻找新高级雇员的企业主。他的最终候选人都是45岁：一名女性和一名男性。女性的资历更好，但他读到过女性在人生这个阶段会变得情绪崩溃。当她进入绝经期时，可能会要求什么样的“合理调整”？

昂贵的空调？数月的带薪假？他不能冒这个风险，于是雇用了那个男人。

绝经运动的倡导者可能认为，通过强调女性可能面临的困境，他们帮了女性一个忙。但遗憾的是，他们无意中推波助澜，使人们认为40多岁和50多岁的女性都受激素摆布，深受脑雾、情绪波动、潮热和疲劳的困扰。

所有这些都加深了“女性是弱势性别，需要特殊对待”的偏见。

我不禁在想，那些在 40 岁后期和 50 岁时发现找工作几乎不可能的、数量日益增加的高成就女性，是否正是这一切的受害者。在 Facebook 群组和在线论坛上，你会发现大批拥有耀眼履历、数十年经验，但在工作机会方面却一无所获的女性。

当你想到职场中为女性平等而进行的数十年斗争时，这简直是一场悲剧。这场战斗不仅体现在争取同工同酬的罢工中，也体现在无数女性个体的微小行动中：通过加班来证明自己能胜任工作，在董事会中即便面对轻视也敢于发声。

为了证明女性能像男性一样有能力——在追求利润时同样激烈，在领导团队时同样高效，在做出艰难决定时同样强韧——我们经历了一段漫长而艰辛的奋斗。而现在，这种认为我们在职业生涯黄金期都会遭受虚弱症状困扰的认知，威胁着要抹杀这些进步。既然如此，为什么不在 45 岁时就在我们脖子上挂个“请勿雇佣”的牌子，干脆了事呢。

当然，雇主应该对处于更年期而陷入困境的女性给予理解，就像他们应该对待任何经历困难的女性或男性一样：无论是抑郁、丧亲，还是照顾病重的亲人。

正如戴维斯教授所言：“雇主应该对所有员工持有同情心。但通过这种对更年期的过度关注而将中年女性单独拎出来，根本没有帮助。我们不需要‘更年期行动计划’或给每个女性发一把扇子，我们只需要确保医疗系统准备就绪，让每个在更年期中挣扎的女性都能获得适当的帮助。”的确如此。

当明年春天法律变更，雇主被法律强制要求制定“更年期行动计划”时，预计活动人士会为他们赢得的这场“胜利”而大肆吹嘘。唉，对于像我这样的女性来说，这不过是一场皮洛士式的胜利（得不偿失的胜利）。

褴褛的衣裳显露着卑微的恶习。而华服与皮袍则掩盖了一切。

威廉·莎士比亚，《李尔王》

梅根已经发动了一场媒体战——以下是凯特如何获胜的方法

无论人们是喜爱她还是厌恶她，梅根确实懂得如何抢占风头。

当萨塞克斯公爵夫妇回到英国领土的消息传出时，我们中的许多人认为他们会低调一段时间，因为他们对隐私和安全如此痴迷。

事实并非如此。过去一周的特点是公爵夫人发起了一场新的媒体攻势，所有人的目光再次集中在她身上。

而这正是她想要的效果。以周日为例，一段视频流出，显示凯特王妃带着女儿夏洛特乘坐地铁前往伦敦参加一次私人预约。

当然，现场有安保人员陪同，但凯特显然很乐意乘坐公共交通工具，让夏洛特体验一下正常生活。据目击者称，她与其他乘客聊天，查看手机，并与女儿谈笑风生。

在一段由一名乘客偷偷拍摄的视频出现在报纸网站后的几分钟内，梅根就在她的 Instagram 页面上发布了一段她孩子们在乡村散步的视频。七岁的阿奇推着滑板车，五岁的莉莉贝特紧随其后，两人都背着背包，家犬在后面跟着。

时间点是巧合吗？在我看来，并非如此。梅根非常清楚如何将注意力转移到自己身上。

周四，梅根和哈里将在诺丁汉参加他们回国后的首次“皇家风格”活动——这座城市是他们在 2017 年宣布订婚后首次公开露面的地方。

届时将会有新闻发布和简报，这清楚地表明他们将自己视为公众人物，而非国王最近在声明中所规定的“私人公民”。事实上，这可以被解读为对陛下的一次非常尖锐的冷遇。

我认为，梅根建立自己非官方王室分支的意图在过去几天里已变得极其清晰，首先是上周三她与诺贝尔奖得主、人权活动家马拉拉·尤萨夫扎伊一同出现在克拉丽奇酒店外。两人一起享用了下午茶，而她们离开酒店时的样子几乎毫无隐秘可言，这让恰好在场的狗仔队们欣喜若狂。

顺便提一句，梅根穿着那套 2.6 万英镑 以上的服装显得完全被衣服淹没了，但她抓住了时机——以及我们的注意力。这次会面的目的在周末揭晓，当时梅根利用她的 Instagram 页面宣布与马拉拉合作，以纪念周日的国际女孩日。她透露，其生活方式品牌 As Ever 在当天销售果酱和茶叶的所有收益都将捐给马拉拉基金会，“以确保每个女孩都能获得免费、安全、优质的教育”。

不久之后，另一篇帖子透露她与总部位于洛杉矶的母职慈善机构 Moms Offering More 合作推出了一款售价 £75 的特别版卫衣，袖口绣有“It's the little things”（细节之处见真情）字样。她穿着这件衣服的一张艺术感十足且放松的照片——该照片昨天登上了包括《邮报》在内的多家报纸头版——确保了该产品在几分钟内售罄。

王室最好小心，因为梅根回来了，而且她是认真的——她意图成为新闻周期的女王。

凯特应该如何应对？我非常钦佩我们未来的女王，我怀疑她的本能反应将是忽视梅根的“看我表演”的把戏，继续履行她的职责、从事慈善事业并经营家庭生活。

但这是一场媒体战，我希望她能赢。她和她的团队必须确保她的公众形象像她所代表的事业一样迷人且具有说服力。

她经历了一场极其艰苦的健康之战，没有人会比凯特更懂得“细节之处见真情”这句话的含义。

然而，她目前的公众形象需要一次“升级”。是的，她的穿着总是无可挑剔且时尚，但我想说，自从她明确表示希望人们关注她的工作而非穿着以来，她失去了一点往日的魅力。

但是，凯特，我们可以两者兼顾！

梅根拥有一个优势，因为她不受皇室传统的约束，可以穿任何她喜欢的衣服——无论她选择多么随意或多么华丽——而且她可以挑选自己参加的活动。

这就是正确的方式：凯特在2021年的一场首映礼上光彩照人

她还可以随心所欲地在社交媒体上发布任何让自己看起来迷人的照片。

我们能看到凯特光彩夺目的瞬间——例如，当她在红毯上穿着一件惊艳的 Jenny Packham 礼服时——但这种情况发生得不够频繁。

与梅根的品牌形象相比，凯特的形象有变得陈旧的危险。也许她需要一套全新的公关策略和一名新的造型师。

凯特可以宽慰自己的一点是，梅根永远只是二线人物——而且永远不会成为任何领域的女王。而梅根可能显得肤浅且轻率，凯特则拥有内涵和对职责的坚守。

最终我知道英国公众能够认清什么是重要的：不是精心策划的社交媒体动态和摆拍的狗仔照片，而是格调与坚定。

我们永远支持凯特——但如果能找回一点往日的灵动，那就更完美了。

不要错过这项检测，它能救命

我的 NHS💡 结直肠癌筛查套件今天早上寄到了。我已经把它准备好放在浴室里了。虽然采集粪便样本可能让人觉得很恶心，但我会完成它并立即通过邮寄寄回。

七年前，当我已故的丈夫保罗被诊断出患有四期结直肠癌并被告知只能活四个月时，他坦白说自己在八个月前就收到了套件。但他一直没能抽出时间去做——“太忙了”是他局促不安的借口。

到那时，责备已经没有意义了，但对于我们家人来说，这是最残酷的一堂人生课。如果保罗做了检测，那么也许他现在还和我们在一起。

任何在 50-74 岁之间且在全科医生（GP）处注册的人，作为每年耗资 £3 亿 的 NHS 结直肠筛查计划的一部分，每两年应该收到一套套件。操作起来虽然有些繁琐，但步骤简单，且每天都在挽救宝贵的生命。

当你的套件寄到时，请直接去做。你可能认为自己很好，没有任何症状，或者可能只是对此感到有些反感，但你的生命可能就取决于此。

正如我所预测的，理查德·E·格兰特（Richard E. Grant）成为了《名人叛徒》（The Celebrity Traitors）中第一个被投票剔除的“叛徒”。自从这位神秘的演员——对我来说他才是节目的真正之星——离开后，阿德罗斯城堡（Ardross Castle）的氛围发生了变化。

喜剧演员、叛徒詹姆斯·阿卡斯特（James Acaster）压力大到制片人不得不暂停拍摄。还有说法称，随着紧张情绪和偏执心理的产生，参赛者们之间已经陷入了激烈的争吵。有些事情非常不对劲，本季节目不太可能达到第一季《名人叛徒》那种光彩夺目且充满悬念的程度。

这不是克劳迪娅（Claudia）的错。她的表现无懈可击。我认为是那些低于平均水平的喜剧演员——当你成长在汤米·库珀（Tommy Cooper）、莱斯·道森（Les Dawson）和鲍勃·蒙克豪斯（Bob Monkhouse）这类名家影响下时，如今的所有喜剧演员都低于平均水平——应该为现在占据主导地位的刻薄竞争心负责。

我们只能希望情况有所改善，但我并不抱太大希望……

奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）承诺，如果下次大选后由改革英国党（Reform UK）组阁，他将在五年内关闭我们面向寻求庇护者的边境。正如他昨天所说，这是降低非法移民人数的唯一方法。该措施将包括作废待处理的申请，并将新的和当前的申请标记为驱逐出境。这是拯救我们国家以及 NHS 的唯一途径。

弗雷迪·福尔曼 1932-2026

为什么人们会神化“褐面包弗雷德”（Brown Bread Fred）？这个克雷兄弟的走狗曾如此快意地谋杀他们的敌人。

---

作者：理查德·凯（Richard Kay）

在近 50 年的时间里，弗雷迪·福尔曼（Freddie Foreman）一直依附于伦敦底层社会的恶徒。他从一名青少年小偷和暴徒起步，凭借着一步步的攀升——以及他准备实施的极端暴力——成为了一个臭名昭著的武装抢劫犯和残暴的帮派执行者。

在他在中央刑事法院（Old Bailey）的一次审判中——他曾创纪录地四次被判谋杀无罪，从而获得了虚假的犯罪名声——据称在他和一名同伙近距离将其射杀后，他撕出了其中一名受害者的心脏。

然而，当本周末宣布这位 94 岁的老人在养老院去世时，这位克雷双胞胎（Kray Twins）的前雇佣杀手在社交媒体上被许多人赞誉为不过是一个“可爱的无赖”。一名崇拜者写道：“一个可靠的家伙”；另一人说：“传奇”、“老派……一个绅士……现在再也造不出这样的人了”。

一个 Facebook 页面上充满了类似的误导性悼词。“[如果] 福尔曼等人仍然掌控着地下世界，那么对于妇女和儿童的平民世界将会安全得多……”当然，这就是福尔曼喜欢塑造的亲切形象：一个恶棍，没错，但既受人敬畏又受人钦佩，强硬但公正。

在 20 世纪 90 年代，当他出版回忆录《尊重——英国犯罪的总经理》（Respect – The Managing Director of British Crime）时，他在伦敦皮卡迪利大街上奥斯卡·王尔德曾经光顾的皇家咖啡馆（Cafe Royal）举行了一场盛大的发布派对，周围环绕着一群微笑的小名人，包括已故的《东区东区》（EastEnders）明星芭芭拉·温莎（Barbara Windsor）。

这虽然不像罗尼和雷吉·克雷（Ronnie and Reggie Kray）招待朱迪·嘉兰（Judy Garland）、弗兰克·辛纳屈（Frank Sinatra）、好莱坞硬汉乔治·拉夫特（George Raft）——当然还有温莎本人——那样光彩夺目，但依然令人印象深刻。

尽管他以残暴著称且有沉重的入狱记录——他在 15 个不同的监狱中度过了 16 年——但在电视访谈节目中，他将自己塑造为一个悔改的黑帮成员，谴责那些笼罩在 60 年代摇摆伦敦黑帮身上的虚假诱惑——而与此同时，他显然又在庆祝这种诱惑。

“被关起来一点也不光彩，”他宣称。但真正的罪行似乎在于被抓获，因为在克雷兄弟入狱期间，他一直与他们保持联系，并在 1995 年罗尼的葬礼上担任灵柩承 bearers。

他被称为“褐面包”弗雷德（‘Brown Bread’ Fred）：“Brown Bread”是伦敦东区押韵俚语中“dead”（死亡）的代称，这指的是他自称负责的死亡人数。其中最主要的是 20 世纪 60 年代的两起臭名昭著的谋杀案：谋杀弗兰克·“疯斧头”·米切尔（Frank ‘Mad Axeman’ Mitchell），以及几个月后谋杀杰克·“帽子”·麦克维蒂（Jack ‘the Hat’ McVitie）。

米切尔是一个精神病暴徒，他被克雷兄弟从达特穆尔监狱（Dartmoor prison）救出，以提升他们在地下世界的地位。

他的大胆逃狱引发了一场政治风暴，因为报纸将此人描述为“英国最暴力的囚犯”，而其周围的安保工作极其疏忽。

虽然这次越狱确实让克雷兄弟名声大噪，但米切尔的反复无常成了双胞胎的问题，于是他们决定除掉他。

1966 年圣诞前夜，福尔曼和一名同伙以将其转移到新安全屋为借口，将米切尔诱骗到一辆面包车的后部。随着车门关上，福尔曼掏出了一把装有消音器的手枪，另一名黑帮成员则掏出了一把左轮手枪。他们向他开了 15枪，其中三枪击中心脏，两枪击中头部。

在随后的审判中，陪审团听到了福尔曼如何向另一名同伙描述切割尸体的情况，并称米切尔“有一个很小的大脑”，他还用手比划出那个大脑有多小。尽管被判无罪——该同伙的证词被裁定为不可采信——但福尔曼后来承认了罪行，声称这是为了给被枪击的兄弟报仇。

在他失踪后的多年里，人们认为“疯斧头”被封在了 M11 高速公路的一个混凝土柱中。但在他的自传中，福尔曼说他用鸡笼网将尸体捆绑，加重后将其丢弃在英吉利海峡中。

这本书还揭开了金杰·马克斯（Ginger Marks）失踪之谜。马克斯是一名二手车商，1965年被枪杀在克雷兄弟（the Krays）在贝斯纳尔格林（Bethnal Green）经营的一家夜总会门外。他的尸体同样从未被找到，这起谋杀案一直未破，直到一名叫福尔曼（Foreman）的线人出现。由于缺乏确凿的身份鉴定，法院未能做出有罪判决，尽管福尔曼在回忆录中承认了枪击事件。

到1975年他被宣判无罪时，“褐面包”弗雷德（‘Brown Bread’ Fred）已经在服刑，因涉嫌协助谋杀麦克维蒂（McVitie）而被判十年监禁。1967年，雷吉·克雷（Reggie Kray）在斯托克纽因顿（Stoke Newington）的一次聚会上将麦克维蒂残忍地刺死。

克雷兄弟曾付钱给麦克维蒂，让他杀掉莱斯利·“大脑”·佩恩（Leslie ‘the Brain’ Payne），后者曾是他们的商业伙伴，但后来与这对双胞胎反目。

当正义最终降临在克雷兄弟身上，让他们为谋杀麦克维蒂以及另一名罪犯乔治·康奈尔（George Cornell）而受审时（康奈尔曾鲁莽地称同性恋者罗尼为“大胖基”），福尔曼被判定处理麦克维蒂尸体罪名成立。

虽然福尔曼很享受在围绕克雷兄弟“帮派”的崇拜圈中担任重要人物的岁月，但他否认媒体赋予他的“教父”地位，更希望被简单地称为“伙计之一”。

他始终否认参与了1963年“大火车抢劫案”的传闻——如果那是真的，他肯定会吹嘘这件事——但他确实声称有人曾试探过他是否愿意参与。无论真相如何——他从未因这起所谓的“世纪之罪”而被捕——他声称自己在两年后策划了抢匪罗尼·比格斯（Ronnie Biggs）从旺兹沃思监狱（Wandsworth prison）的惊人越狱。

臭名昭著：罗尼·克雷（中），与莫琳·福尔曼及其丈夫弗雷迪，上方同图

福尔曼1932年出生于伦敦南部的巴特西（Battersea），是五个兄弟中最小的一个。他的爱尔兰父亲曾在第一次世界大战的索姆河战役中作战，但后来因袭击和殴打他人被判入狱。讽刺的是，他的中产阶级母亲竟然是达勒姆郡（Durham）警察局长的妹妹。

他在观看徒手格斗中长大，并被送到索霍区（Soho）的一家健身房学习拳击。14岁离开学校后，他从事了一系列体力活，很快便以“投机商”的身份涉足轻微犯罪，在黑市交易赃物。据说，当他极其宠爱的母亲（这是黑帮分子的先决条件）在他的卧室里发现一把枪时，她评论道：“弗雷德·福尔曼，你最终会被吊死在绞刑架上的。”

到20世纪50年代初，他已经经营自己的帮派，成员包括大火车抢劫案的参与者巴斯特·爱德华兹（Buster Edwards）和汤米·威斯比（Tommy Wisbey）。他还与一个名为“四十名盗贼”的全女性扒窃团伙合作，该团伙的目标是哈罗德百货（Harrods）等西区商店，偷窃皮草并将珠宝塞进内衣中。

犯罪所得（此时已包括抢劫邮局）被投资到处理现金的“合法”业务中：一家健身房、一家酒吧和几家博彩店。就在一次抢劫案后潜逃期间，他遇到了克雷兄弟，对方给了他在斯特普尼（Stepney）的“盲乞丐”酒吧（Blind Beggar pub）后面的一套公寓。

在因处理麦克维蒂尸体而服刑六年之后，他投资了一家台球厅生意，每周能为他赚到 3,000 英镑 a

他被一次邀请诱导回国，参与一场将成为英国历史上最大规模现金抢劫案的行动——1983年针对伦敦安全快递公司（Security Express）总部的抢劫。福尔曼是六名持枪掩面歹徒之一，他们抢走了 £700 万。在袭击过程中，一名警卫被蒙上眼睛，被浇上汽油，并受到被活活烧死的威胁。

周。他很快就失去了正经生活。在一次他仅扮演边缘角色的失败袭击中，一名海关官员被杀，随后福尔曼逃往美国。

后来，在英国罪犯的避风港西班牙隐匿行踪的福尔曼吹嘘道：“我们给警卫们喝了茶，没有人进医院，我为此感到自豪。”但在六年之后，他被逮捕并被引渡回英国，当时他仍穿着短裤和人字拖，最终因处理赃款被判处九年监禁。

犯罪让“褐面包”布朗（Brown Bread）获利了吗？确实，他让两个儿子就读于私立收费学校。但在其妻子莫琳（Maureen）2015年去世时，两人已分居；据报道，三年后他身无分文且与家人关系疏远。他的最后时光是在梅达谷（Maida Vale）的一家养老院中度过的——在那里，他的床头柜上放着一张克雷兄弟（Krays）的装裱照片。

肋骨受伤导致“心碎”的德尔塔缺席下一期《舞动奇迹》

作者：贝森·爱德华兹（Bethan Edwards）

在周六晚上凭借萨尔萨舞登顶《舞动奇迹》（Strictly）排行榜后，肋骨受伤迫使德尔塔·古德雷姆（Delta Goodrem）不得不退出本周末的节目。

这位41岁的澳大利亚歌手因错过“偶像周”而感到“心碎”，但她与专业舞伴凯·威德灵顿（Kai Widdrington）将获得直接晋级至下周的资格。

原定饰演奥利维亚·牛顿-约翰（Olivia Newton-John）的古德雷姆女士解释说，她感到“极其沮丧”，但已“遵医嘱休息”。

她在周一向BBC Two的衍生节目《It Takes Two》发表声明称：“我感到极其沮丧，因为肋骨受伤意味着我本周无法在《舞动奇迹》中起舞。”

“我热爱这段经历的每一秒，所以这次不得不缺席令人心碎——尤其是在周六晚上达到高潮之后。希望我能很快回到舞池。非常感谢大家的爱与支持，我深表感激。”

缺席一周：凯与德尔塔

“这周我将在场边为每个人加油！”

评委克雷格·雷维尔-霍伍德（Craig Revel-Horwood）称他们周六的萨尔萨舞“太惊人了！”这对组合获得了33分——这是本季迄今为止的最高分。

“蒙面学生潜伏等待并将室友刺 30 刀”

作者：杰克·哈迪 (Jack Hardy)

法庭获悉，一名蒙面的大学学生潜伏等待其室友回家，随后将其刺 30 刀致死。

23 岁的扎克·考夫兰 (Zack Coughlan) 全身着黑衣，佩戴面具并戴上手套，在他们住所的花园里伏击了 21 岁的杰米·柯林斯 (Jamie Collins)。

考夫兰和柯林斯先生都是西英格兰大学布里斯托分校 (UWE Bristol) 机器人专业的最后一年学生，共同居住在南格洛斯特郡菲尔顿 (Filton) 的一栋房子里，该房产由被告所有。控方将这次发生在 4 月 8 日下午 6 点前不久的袭击描述为一次“精心策划且冷酷的处决”。

据称，两人此前曾因考夫兰向柯林斯先生收取的租金数额而发生争执。

布里斯托刑事法院被告知，考夫兰骑着柯林斯先生的自行车离开，将垂死的室友留在一条小巷中。据指控，考夫兰将自行车丢弃在附近的一个零售园区，购买了一套换洗衣物，并将沾血的衣服扔进池塘。法庭获悉，他随后在晚上 9 点左右回到他们位于克利夫路 (Cleve Road) 的合租房，并与朋友一起进行了在线游戏。

伏击对象：杰米·柯林斯

负责起诉的御用大律师亚当·维蒂林甘 (Adam Vaitilingam KC) 告诉陪审团：“大约在凌晨 2 点——即 8 小时后——被告拨打了 999。他说他的朋友被刺伤了。接线员告诉他进行心肺复苏 (CPR) 直到急救人员到达，他告诉对方他正在进行。

‘不久之后，武装警察抵达。他们在房子的后花园里发现了杰米的尸体。[考夫兰] 告诉他们他之前在公园，刚刚回到家。

‘他注意到后门开着，于是走到外面，就在那时’

---

“一场冷血的处决”

他发现杰米躺在花园里。”

法庭获悉，这次袭击被安装在屋内的闭路电视（CCTV）拍到，考夫兰向警员展示了这些画面，而警员最初将其视为证人。

瓦蒂林甘先生表示，在柯林斯先生的自行车上发现了被告的血液，且对考夫兰手机的分析与闭路电视捕捉到的凶手行踪相吻合。法庭获悉，考夫兰现在承认自己杀害了柯林斯先生，并承认了过失杀人罪，但他否认谋杀罪。

“我们了解到，他将辩称，由于杰米在过去几天和几周里对他所说的话让他担心自己的生命安全，导致他失去了自我控制，”瓦蒂林甘先生说。“因此，由于对杰米的恐惧，他无法阻止自己杀掉他。”

检察官表示，检方的观点是这种辩护“根本站不住脚”。他说：“因为这并不是一个失去自我控制的人所为的杀戮。”

“一个失去控制的人不会像他那样提前计划，为了避免被认出而精心打扮，然后在某个地址外等待20分钟直到受害者出现。”

考夫兰告诉那些看到他双手流血的人，他是在爬树时摔伤的。审判仍在继续。

关于是仅将安德鲁还是将所有前约克家族成员从继承顺序中移除的犹豫不决，似乎将在下个月于安提瓜举行的英联邦峰会上得到解决。国王和安迪·伯纳姆将出席此次会议，查尔斯仍然统治的15个国家将讨论这一问题。这需要所有国家达成一致，虽然包括澳大利亚和加拿大在内的一些国家已经支持移除安德鲁，但整个约克家族是否应被剔除的问题依然悬而未决。如果碧翠丝和尤金妮最终失去她们的位置，那么要求撤销她们头衔的呼声将变得更难以抵挡。对于这个话题，厌恶冲突的国王将更倾向于被告知该怎么做。

30岁左右的人们在想什么

一代人之前，对于女性来说，进入30岁意味着达到某些里程碑：一套房子，一个或两个孩子，以及在职业阶梯上站稳脚跟。

但如今，情况大不相同。根据智库决议基金会（Resolution Foundation）的数据，30至35岁的人群拥有自有住房的概率为27%，而英国的出生率已跌至50年来的最低点。

我们采访的许多30岁左右的女性并没有感到安定、独立并准备承担更多的工作职责，她们仍然在租房，依赖父母的帮助，或者为了避免支付昂贵的育儿费而削减工作时间。

对于单身女性来说，她们总有一种挥之不去的焦虑感，觉得除非采取行动，否则母亲的身份可能会与她们擦肩而过。

心理学家路易丝·戈达德-克劳利（Dr Louise Goddard-Crawley）博士解释说，对于这个年龄段的许多患者来说，这是一个压力巨大的十年。

她说：“一个关键的主题是感到‘落后’；即认为到目前为止，你应该已经拥有了稳定的关系、孩子、事业和经济保障。”

“职业晋升与关于孩子的决定经常发生冲突，与此同时，人们在进入不同人生阶段时，还会面临生育焦虑和友谊的变化。”

从店员到房产中介，以下是当今30岁左右的人们对自己赚钱能力的看法。

主厨，30, 伦敦：4.8 万英镑

五年前，我在25岁时以初级厨师（专业厨房中最低级别的厨师）的身份进入餐饮业，收入为2.6 万英镑，所以我感觉我的收入增长得相当快。我认为我的薪水相当公平，尽管在这种工作时长下会让人精疲力竭。

我的双班工作从早上8点开始，一直持续到晚上11点，强度非常大。我每周要上几次这样的班，我的工作时长本应总计50 (but can run over)。

我的工作是否让我感到充实，取决于我的心情。有时我非常清楚，我简直是在拼命工作，仅仅是为了给别人准备晚餐。

我在一家受欢迎的现代英国餐厅工作，职位竞争非常激烈。

在我试工时，12名厨师的厨房里只有另一名女性，这可能对我有利——雇佣我

意味着他们可以开始重新平衡性别比例。

此后我们雇佣了更多女性，她们在工作中表现出色，但酒店餐饮业仍然由男性主导，每十名男性领导者中才有一名女性。

在我的朋友中，我的收入最低，但我的未婚夫是一名外科医生（我开始在厨房工作的一个重要原因是他的轮班时间已经很不规律），他的收入是我的两倍多。

我们拥有自己的住房，感觉非常安定，不像我的一些朋友仍在约会，觉得未来充满不确定性。

我想有孩子，所以我一直在考虑从事一些工作时间更正常的工作，比如在餐厅的总部办公。

这个行业正在发生变化，变得更能照顾到有家庭的人，但我仍然觉得在家里有年幼孩子的同时在厨房工作这件事令人畏惧。

不过，我没有长期计划——我永远无法预料到这次职业转变。我想看看会发生什么。

精神健康护士，36岁，布赖顿：3.6 万英镑

在我33岁的时候，我曾是一名NHS的高级领导者，年薪为7.2 万英镑。但三年前我休产假时，我的职位被取消了。

除了被裁员的震惊，我还因儿子的出生而遭受创伤，他出生时患有残疾，生命中的大部分时间都在进出医院。

尽管这意味着收入减少了50%，但接受一份灵活的工作是有意义的。我目前在六家全科医生（GP）诊所担任精神健康从业人员，为抑郁或焦虑的人提供一对一咨询。

我还创办了自己的公司，支持女性度过产后阶段，这每年能带来约4,000 英镑-5,000 英镑的收入。

收入比以前少这么多绝对是一个警钟。它迫使我关注金钱的价值，并非常系统地规划我的储蓄。

我已经习惯了透支生活，并且每月偿还1,500 英镑的信用卡账单。

有些月份，我不得不向我的丈夫（一名在线健身教练）寻求帮助。除此之外，我们分担两居室住房的费用。我已经面试了四个月的员工岗位，但与我级别相当的职位简直像金粉一样稀缺。

我也遭遇了很多拒绝。我拥有精神健康护理学位，在被裁员之前我为了达到那个位置付出了巨大的努力。想要重新爬上那个阶梯真的很难。

高端房产中介，35岁，伦敦：21 万英镑

我是我所在的高端度假屋中介公司的董事，我的基本工资为9 万英镑，此外如果达成销售目标还能获得另外12 万英镑。我还经营着一项活动策划的副业，每月带来约3,800 英镑的收入。

有时我觉得我的报酬与我的努力程度相匹配，但并非总是如此。

生活感觉很舒适，但如果能多一点钱会更好。我仍然与一名室友合租公寓，每月房租为1,500 英镑。我很想有足够的钱独立居住，但目前我认为那样会让我感到资金太紧张。我不知道自己是否会长期留在这一行。目前，我的动力就是尽可能多地赚钱。

在进入目前这份工作之前，我有八个月没有工作：我想在两个月前被雇佣之前，我在不同行业提交了1,000份申请。在财务方面，我仍在追赶进度。

我的主要支出是旅行、去餐厅就餐以及偶尔买一个漂亮的包。我还刚刚支付了6,500 英镑进行了一轮冻卵。

我将其视为一种保险政策。这让我减轻了担心被时代抛弃的焦虑感。

我从去年年底起一直单身，很难不去将自己的情况与那些宣布订婚和生子的朋友们进行比较——他们提醒着我所缺失的东西。

我正在约会，希望能再次找到爱情。有些日子，我喜欢独处，但有些日子，我真的很希望有一个可以共同“面对生活”的人。

副校长，32岁，伦敦：6.4 万英镑

我在25岁时成为了一所小学的助理校长——我是伦敦担任该职位最年轻的人。

我一直想成为一名教师，本科学习的是小学教育，研究生资格证学习的是教育心理学。

三年后，在前任校长离职后，我被任命为代理校长，但我每月仅多拿了£180。

考虑到每天11小时的工作时间、周末加班以及整体责任的增加，这份薪水远远不够。

人们非常担心在教学之外无法拥有生活，但我认为你必须拥有热情和爱好，以确保工作不会占据全部生活。

我一直热爱运动，所以我将精力倾注其中。我创办了一个跑步俱乐部，并开始在社交媒体上发布视频。

这些帖子变得非常有盈利能力：通过与跑步品牌等公司的合作，我自4月以来额外赚了1.1 万英镑。

我尝试每月将£750存入高级债券（premium bonds）和我的个人储蓄账户（Isa）。我还为自己的食品购物、汽油和社交活动设定了每周£150的预算。

我在伦敦西南部租了一套一居室公寓，但我希望在2028年能攒够钱买房。

我已经单身五年了，目前没有积极地约会。如果到我35岁时情况依然如此，我将开始尝试独自生育孩子。

考虑到私人体外受精（IVF）每个周期的费用在5,000 英镑-8,000 英镑之间，我不认为我能通过这种方式尝试生育不止一个孩子。

---

批发助理，36岁，沃里克：12,480 英镑

如果我的薪水要支付我们在贝德沃思（Bedworth）那栋三居室房子的房贷，我们很久以前就失去这栋房子了。

我为一家向办公场所、餐厅、学校和酒吧供应食品的批发商工作。在任何一天，我可能都在搬运沉重的奶酪，爬6英尺高的梯子，或者在冷藏室工作。

我在零售业工作了十年，之前担任过主管和值班经理，但考虑到必须投入的工作时间，薪水简直糟糕透顶。此外，高级管理团队的期望也极其离谱。

当我生儿子时（他现在六岁），我无法一直工作到晚上8点，所以当他开始上学时，我不得不辞去那个职位。我现在每周工作26小时。

我相当独立，所以很难变得更加依赖我的丈夫，他是一名金属

女性的真实收入

从高端房产中介到兼职美发师，再到拥有网红副业的雄心勃勃的副校长……这些女性的薪水截然不同。但谁对自己现状最满意？

工匠或锡匠。

我还觉得在儿子还是婴儿的时候，我浪费了陪伴他的时间，结果最后还是离开了那个更高级的职位。

那些是无法挽回的宝贵时光。这让我觉得作为一名母亲和一名管理者，我都失败了。

我很想多生几个孩子，但现实地看，我们负担不起。这意味着需要更大的车，以及更多需要喂养的嘴。

我赚的所有钱都花在儿子的活动上，或者让我们每月吃两次中餐外卖。我们能负担得起这一点，是因为我正在接受培训

以成为一名零售工会的代表，每天可以获得£10的补贴，

这笔钱本该用于我自己，但我一直留着用来支付课后俱乐部或外出就餐。

我寄希望于这次培训能让我明年在工会找到一份工作。

薪水将在5.4 万英镑左右，这将给我们的生活带来巨大的改变。

我的工作很糟糕。在零售业工作根本不赚钱。我在学校时的成绩不好，但我绝对应该获得更高的薪水。

---

人力资源顾问，37岁，普利茅斯：5 万英镑

当我还在办公室工作时，我一直在不断争取加薪，并反对那种不公开收入的普遍文化。

你会被引导成这样一种感觉：你不应该询问别人的薪水，因为如果你问了，这件事会传到老板那里，而你会被认为是个“难搞”的人。

我当时已经受到了“母亲惩罚”的影响，因为我的合同规定了较短的工作时间，这意味着我被剥夺了全职员工享有的基本权利，比如带薪午休。

我还发现，男性似乎跳过了更初级的职位，在没有相关经验的情况下就成为了总监。

我的丈夫在军队服役，经常不在家，所以我承担了六岁儿子的绝大部分育儿工作。

去年，由于需要灵活安排时间以配合接送孩子上下学，且厌倦了担心早退是否会对我不利，我成为了自由职业者。

从那时起，我的薪水翻了一番，每周工作30小时，但我的成本很高，且在工作与生活之间平衡的压力很大。

我有两笔学生贷款，每月薪水的15%用于偿还这些贷款。为了让儿子就读私立学校，我们每学期还要支付3,500 英镑，因为他在阅读等方面有困难，需要这种教育。

在接下来的五年里，这笔费用将增加到三倍多，为了支付这笔钱，我们放弃了很多东西。我们迫切需要一个新厨房，但负担不起。

我们四居室房子的每月房贷是2,000 英镑。我完全不知道低收入人群是如何维持生活的。

理发师，38岁，博尔顿：1.2 万英镑

我在2022年开了自己的美发店，多年来基本上像志愿者一样工作，从公司领取极少量的钱来支付公交车费和午餐等开支，因为我们从未盈利。

我每周工作三天，现在不得不开始领取薪水，以便我的17个月大孩子的托儿所能获得政府补贴的育儿服务，否则我们将无法获得任何帮助。此外，我每月在十岁和八岁孩子的俱乐部和活动上花费约£500。

我从16岁起就成了理发师，我是公司里最努力工作的人，但拿的钱最少。每个月月底，账户里什么都不剩。

新冠疫情之后，一切都变得困难得多。人们继续在家里理发，或者不再像以前那样频繁光顾美发店；也许一年只来一两次，在圣诞节或特殊场合。

现在还有更多理发师在家庭美发店工作，没有运营成本，我根本无法与那些价格竞争。我认为人们不再在意理发的质量，他们只想要便宜。

我的丈夫担任项目经理，他承担了我们所有的开支，包括房贷。我打算尝试通过美发店销售更多美发产品以赚更多钱。但如果这行不通，我将不得不考虑彻底关闭店铺，这对我将是一个沉重的打击。

---

产品经理，39岁，伦敦：8.4 万英镑

我的工作涉及管理软件工程师以及为我们的业务开发数字化产品。

我可以工作得更努力，赚更多的钱，但我选择了不这样做。在我的行业中，有很多职位的薪水超过 10 万英镑，但目前的薪水能让我的生活没有压力，并且能维持朝九晚五的工作时间，我觉得这样很值得。

在财务方面，一切都在可控范围内。我单身，在北伦敦拥有一套三居室公寓。在运动受伤之前，我最大的支出是健身：我每月支付 £420 聘请私人教练，此外每月还花 £150 参加动感单车课程和健身房会员费。自从腰部受伤后，我把这笔钱存了起来。我每月至少将 £600 投入到个人储蓄账户（Isa）的股票和份额中。

我不怎么喝酒——出门在外通常只喝一杯，如果是约会可能会喝两杯——并且擅长在社交与充足的个人休息时间之间取得平衡。

虽然我知道自己没有发挥出赚钱的潜力，因为在我的领域有这么多职位可以让我轻松地多赚 2 万英镑，但我对此感到满意。

我非常享受目前这种轻松的感觉。考虑到我没有孩子，也不知道未来是否会有，我觉得我应该就这么享受生活。

前士兵因 Ajax 坦克“损害听力”起诉索赔 50 万英镑

耳鸣：测试 Ajax 坦克的乔纳森·比文（Jonathan Bevan）

作者：奥利维亚·戴（Olivia Day）

一名前坦克指挥官正起诉国防部，就其在测试陆军“问题重重”的 Ajax 车队期间听力受损的指控，索赔 50 万英镑。

乔纳森·比文，46岁，在抱怨患有慢性耳鸣和心理健康问题后，于 2023 年 6 月被军队医疗退伍。

这位前皇家骑兵团中士声称，在 2017 年至 2021 年担任 Ajax 坦克指挥官期间，他的耳机中“每隔六到七秒”就会响起一次“刺耳”的紧急警报，导致他的听力被摧毁。

比文先生指称，他的慢性耳鸣和心理健康问题源于耳机中重复噪音引起的“声学冲击”综合征。

他在首席大法官卡里男爵夫人（Baroness Carr）以及上诉法院两名高级法官面前，向国防部寻求 50 万英镑 的赔偿。

他的主张在去年 4 月被法官奈杰尔·伯德（Nigel Bird）驳回，后者认为没有令人信服的证据证明存在声学冲击综合征——比文先生的律师目前正对这一决定提出挑战。

尽管国防部此前承认在坦克内部高分贝噪音方面存在过失，但否认这引发了任何声学冲击。

这款 40 吨级轻型坦克的测试此前曾被暂停，因为部分人员抱怨听力损失和震动损伤。

这促使部长们在 2020 年 12 月至 2023 年 3 月期间暂停向该车队的美国制造商付款，时任国防大臣本·华莱士（Ben Wallace）将此次部署称为“问题重重”。这支价值 £63 亿加元、由 589 辆 Ajax 坦克组成的车队中，首批坦克于去年年底投入现役，而最初预计在 2017 年即可投入使用。

法庭获悉，比文先生在测试 Ajax 车队时抱怨了一系列症状，包括一个被称为“核生化警报”的警报会发出断断续续的高频尖叫声。

他的大律师辩称，伯德法官的裁决与医学专家规定的声学冲击指南相矛盾。

卡里男爵夫人保留了该案的裁决，将在稍后日期公布。

吉赛尔·佩利科因反性暴力斗争获勇气奖

《每日邮报》记者

她在面对难以想象的痛苦时展现出的尊严与力量，赢得了全世界的钦佩。

昨晚，在伦敦一场星光熠熠的盛典上，吉赛尔·佩利科（Gisele Pelicot）被授予一项奖项，以表彰她的卓越努力。

73岁的佩利科女士由演员西耶娜·米勒（Sienna Miller）为其颁发了“勇气女性”奖杯。

在皇家兰开斯特酒店举行的年度女性颁奖典礼的获奖感言中，她表示：“能获得这个奖项是我的荣幸。人们称我勇敢，但我代表所有性暴力的女性受害者接受这个奖项。我不能将这个奖项独占，它是属于所有女性的。”

佩利科女士的前夫多米尼克（Dominique）因给她下药并强奸，以及在佩利科失去意识时允许其他男性对其进行侵害而被判处20年监禁，其虐待行为持续了近十年。2024年12月，在法国东南部阿维尼翁经过三个半月的审判后，约50名男子被裁定强奸或性犯罪成立。

佩利科女士已成为反性暴力斗争的象征，她今年出版了一本名为《生命赞歌：羞耻必须易主》（A Hymn to Life: Shame Has To Change Sides）的回忆录。她还接见了卡米拉王后，王后在佩利科经历磨难后赞扬了她“非凡的尊严”。

在昨晚的典礼之前，她将注意力转向了那些纵容性虐待的网站，称其为“社会的瘟疫”。她告诉ITV新闻，我们必须共同采取行动，确保这些网站被关闭。

虎园接受健康与安全调查

一家曾发生男子被老虎杀死的野生动物园目前正接受健康与安全调查。

负责约克郡野生动物园（Yorkshire Wildlife Park）许可的唐卡斯特市议会宣布了这一举措，该动物园昨日仍处于关闭状态。

据周六事件的目击者称，未公开姓名的受害者是自愿进入老虎围栏的，并拒绝了将其救出的帮助。

市议会的丹·斯韦恩（Dan Swaine）表示：“我们的心与所有相关人员同在，并致以最深切的同情。”

用假劳力士骗走兄弟俩7.6 万英镑的骗子免于入狱

一名骗子通过向两兄弟出售假劳力士手表，骗走了7.6 万英镑，随后声称自己患有癌症晚期。

40岁的斯泰西·赫奇斯（Stacey Hedges）告诉她的朋友西蒙·斯泰西（Simon Stacey），她可以通过在珠宝行业的家族关系为他获得折扣劳力士。

赫奇斯是来自多塞特郡温本的一名美发师，她劝说西蒙及其兄弟乔纳森（Jonathan）拿出他们已故母亲的遗产资金购买八块假劳力士，甚至伪造了保修卡。

作者：克莱尔·达芬（Claire Duffin）

她将这些钱挥霍在度假和购物上。

当西蒙·斯泰西就诸多缺陷质问赫奇斯时，她表示会修理手表，并从一个她创建的看起来很正式的地址发送大量电子邮件，以向他保证维修正在进行。

几个月后，斯泰西先生失去了耐心，并联系了伯恩茅斯的查尔斯·福克斯珠宝店（Charles Fox Jewellers），而赫奇斯冒用了该店的身份。该店表示从未听说过赫奇斯。在面对斯泰西先生的质问时，赫奇斯为了博取同情，绝望地声称自己患有癌症晚期。大约在同一时间，她建立了一个Just-Giving页面，为延长生命的私人治疗筹集资金。共有28人捐款。

“告诉女儿自己快死了”

其中包括一些被她的故事所触动的癌症患者，共筹集了1,390 英镑。她甚至告诉她现在15岁的女儿，自己即将死去。

她在2023年8月被捕，周五在伯恩茅斯刑事法院承认三项欺诈罪名后泣不成声。

凯里·梅林法官表示，海吉斯受贪婪驱动，背叛了兄弟俩的信任，并给自己的女儿造成了心理伤害。

但由于海吉斯是其女儿的唯一照顾者，法官决定不对其立即执行监禁。相反，她被判处两年11个月监禁，缓刑三年，并被命令进行250小时的无偿工作。

根据《犯罪收益法》，针对海吉斯的行动预计将在年底前开始。

9月7日刚过午夜不久，在飞往西西里岛参加一场新时代同性恋嬉皮士聚会前几个小时，本杰明·布雷思韦特在与留在威尔士的伴侣的短信交流中表达了他的兴奋。

布雷思韦特在耶和华见证人（一种将同性恋视为罪孽的宗教）的环境下长大——他的成长经历如此坎坷，以至于与母亲关系疏远，并将自己的名改为里弗。

然而，在最近几个月里，这位受过大学教育的艺术家通过加入“激进仙女”（Radical Faeries）找到了他渴望的接纳。这是一个成立于20世纪70年代同性恋解放运动初期的争议性教派，其成员在偏远乡村的随心所欲营地中探索自己的性取向和精神世界。

事实上，布雷思韦特在这些自由自在的聚会中感到非常快乐。在这些聚会中，同性恋男女坐在“心灵圆圈”中揭示内心深处的情感，共同进餐，通过表演音乐和变装秀互相娱乐——并在兴起时结对进行性行为。因此，今年早些时候，他离开了位于波伊斯（Powys）的房车之家，在欧洲各地进行“仙女跳跃”之旅。

“有个好的开始，感到开心且乐观”

前往西西里岛东南部孔特拉达·皮亚诺·米洛（Contrada Piano Milo）山丘上一座废弃农舍遗址参加最新的聚会。

“哈哈，总之我有个好的开始。感到开心且乐观，”对方俏皮地回复道，并附带了一个微笑的表情符号。“我很高兴事情变成了现在这样。”

对于20多岁的温斯顿来说，这是他从两年前在网上相识并爱上的这个男人那里听到的最后一句话。

9月13日凌晨3点左右，在抵达西西里岛7天后，布雷思韦特赤裸且受伤的尸体在他于“激进仙女”聚会中搭建的白色帐篷内被发现。

骨骸祭坛上方的阴森萨堤尔，西西里山丘中神秘的“仙女邪教”——以及帐篷内发现的一名赤裸约克郡男子死谜，其身旁留有绳索与尖刀

上周当我访问那个偏远的农场时，一切依然保持着原样——且令人不安地——就像当年在布雷思韦特（Braithwaite）同伴的提醒下，宪兵队侦探们突袭营地时的样子。

沿着一条穿过茂密橄榄林的蜿蜒小径，我走过一个装饰有石刻独角兽的破旧拱门，进入了一个废弃农舍的院子，这里似乎被改造成了一个临时剧场。如果真是这样，那它是一座阴森恐怖的剧场。

一面墙上画着一个微笑萨堤尔（satyr）的阴森图像，那是享乐主义的象征；其下方立着一座祭坛，摆满了奇怪的装饰品、动物骨骸、角和蜡烛。

另一面墙上挂着舞台幕帘，一个壁龛被用作化妆间，里面摆满了挂满异域服装的衣架、装满闪亮鞋子的盒子、彩色假发，以及看起来可疑的道具，如链条、皮革

皮带、橡胶衣和战时防毒面具。

桌子上和地板上散落着喝了一半的啤酒、葡萄酒和金酒瓶，以及观众在布雷思韦特尸体被发现、狂欢戛然而止之前所抽的烟蒂。

侦探们在进入他那顶圆锥形帐篷后，发现了一个令人胆寒且肮脏的场景。早期报告称，布雷思韦特被发现时处于悬吊状态，颈部和身体有各种伤痕。

但现在看来，他是躺在一张肮脏的床垫上，身旁有一段绳索，以及他的随身物品和一本个人日记，日记中没有任何迹象表明他打算自杀。

据称，警方还在帐篷旁发现了一把尖刀，并在营地其他地方发现了各种非法药物。

然而，他们尚未查明这个脱离主流社会、生活在威尔士房车公社中的自由奔放的约克郡人是如何以及为何死亡的——而且至关重要的一点是，当时帐篷里是否有人陪他在一起。

与此同时，由于尸检进展极其缓慢——西西里警方消息人士告诉我，这是一个需要严格法医检测的“异常”案例——当地出现了各种关于死因的耸人听闻的猜测。

虽然在距离废弃农场最近的城镇卡尼卡蒂尼-巴尼（Canicattini Bagni），许多人认为布雷思韦特要么是自杀，要么是在一场糟糕的性游戏中死亡，但也有传闻称他可能被谋杀。

无论真相如何，他的离奇死亡给这座岛屿蒙上了一层阴影，而西西里在经历了数十年的黑手党统治后，正努力恢复其作为和平旅游目的地的声誉。

这也让外界不情愿地将目光投向了神秘的“激进仙女”（Radical Faeries），他们聚集在偏远的乡村营地，目前在世界各地有许多分支机构。

他们有时被描述为“邪教”，许多成员对此表示反对。该组织的创始人包括著名的、出生于萨塞克斯的同性恋解放先驱哈里·海（Harry Hay），他于2002年去世。他们的哲学被用如此多不同的方式解释，以至于无论如何定义，都不可避免地会遭到反对。

在宣布即将于诺森伯兰郡的费瑟斯通城堡（Featherstone Castle）举行集会时，一个名为“阿尔比恩激进仙女”（Radical Faeries of Albion）的英国分支将自己描述为一个“不断扩张的由女同性恋者、男同性恋者、跨性别者组成的集体网络。

“毒品与诱导的掩护”

双性恋者、酷儿异性恋者以及任何处于两者之间的人，他们聚集在一起，创造充满活力、能量且安全的空间，以庆祝“精神性与性欲”。

但该团体坦承，有些人加入仅仅是为了“找人上床”。

在上周接受一家报纸采访时，另一个分支机构的一名幻灭的前成员对其活动描绘了一幅极其令人不安的画面。在参加了数年的集会后，他声称这是一个“异教邪教”，其类似德鲁伊的仪式实际上是“毒品以及性与精神诱导的掩护”。

“当我听到布雷斯韦特（Braithwaite）去世的消息时，我并不惊讶，”该消息人士表示。“我一直知道有一天会发生这样的事情。有些人阴暗且具有操纵性。我以前见过这种情况。某个有吸引力的人加入‘仙女’（Faeries）组织，然后某些人会在性与精神上利用他们。”

“人们在情绪低落且脆弱时经常加入‘仙女’组织。那里有大量的药物滥用……有些人是被逼的。这可能是药物影响下的强奸。也可能是窒息性爱游戏。我听说过有人被下药并在违背意愿的情况下被强迫发生性关系。”

在 LGBTQ+ 群体中，这名前成员的指控引起了愤怒。虽然少数网络评论者支持他的断言，但更多的人认为这些说法缺乏事实依据且过于煽情，并坚持认为“仙女”组织是一股向善的力量。

事实上，上周当一名《每日邮报》记者访问了布雷斯韦特此前在法国东部孚日山脉参加的一次“仙女”集会时，他发现了一个令人振奋的田园景象。

“人们在脆弱时会加入”

大约 20 人坐在早晨的“心灵圆圈”中，分享彼此的感受并分配当天的家务。

卡尼卡蒂尼-巴尼（Canicattini Bagni）的市长保罗·阿门塔（Paolo Amenta）也对他们持正面看法。他表示，由于周围的乡村如此空旷且美丽，这里已成为像“仙子”（Faeries）这样寻求替代生活方式的人们的磁石。

在夏季，他们在镇上举办了广受欢迎的音乐表演和演出，并受到了居民的“热烈欢迎”。

尽管如此，如果“仙子”群体确实存在吸引“脆弱”人群的不稳定因素，那么里弗·布雷思韦特（River Braithwaite）似乎很容易成为猎物。

上周，乔恩·温斯顿（Jon Winston）在接受我的独家采访时，希望纠正围绕此案的一些不准确之处和歇斯底里，他描述了导致其伴侣死亡的痛苦心路历程。

他说，这一切始于他在利兹成长期间，到布雷思韦特离开去上大学时，他与现已再婚的母亲安杰丽克·怀尔博（Angelique Wildbore）的关系已经破裂。她拒绝发表评论。温斯顿解释说，尽管布雷思韦特“善良、风趣、多才多艺且勤奋”，且能胜任从艺术、雕塑到单口喜剧变装艺术的所有事情，但他一直与心理健康问题作斗争，有时甚至产生自杀念头。

同样不可否认且可能具有重要意义的是，当他们不在一起时，布雷思韦特会沉溺于极端且有时危险的性活动，并使用化名在社交媒体上展示。

他和温斯顿住在波伊斯（Powys），两人车程相隔半小时，关系亲密。因此，当布雷思韦特在七个月前突然开始他的“仙子跳跃”之旅时，自称性格更内向且觉得无法加入他的温斯顿心碎不已。但与此同时，温斯顿也为伴侣感到高兴，因为从那些乐观的信息来看，他似乎正走出困境。

令人不安的场景：里弗·布雷思韦特被发现死在他的圆锥形帐篷中

他说在那里可以做真实的自己。那是人们可以分享感受，并拥有美食和音乐的地方。

“那里的人让他感到被爱。里弗认同自己是一个激进的无政府主义者，所以他完全不遵循任何政治议程。”

“他是一个自由奔放的嬉皮士类型的人，那里聚集的都是对社会持有相同看法的人。”

布雷思韦特通过打零工和出售艺术品来支付在欧洲大陆旅行的费用，他在一个单独的社交媒体页面上展示作品，账号名为“rivertriestomakestuff”。

不幸的是，或许正是他的灵巧让他首先来到了西西里岛。他去世的那座破旧农场的业主是 48 岁的西西里表演艺术家温琴佐·卡尔塔（Vincenzo Carta），他曾在网上发布广告，招募志同道合的同性恋嬉皮士一起在那里创建社区，并且特别希望招募具有建筑技能的人。

从布雷思韦特发给温斯顿的信息来看，很明显他在参加导致其死亡的集会之前，今年至少去过一次西西里岛。

正如我上周所见，这次由布雷思韦特协助筹办的活动组织得异常出色。

在表演区上方，人们创建了一个用餐区、酒吧和厨房，配备了燃气灶、贴有标签且装有餐具和瓷器的抽屉，以及一台冰箱——里面依然存放着食物和西西里酒精饮料。

根据宪兵队的说法，在布雷思韦特死亡的那晚，现场只有大约 10 人，所有人在被允许离开该岛之前，均作为“证人而非嫌疑人”接受了询问。

但当然，警方花了一些时间才到达农场，因此他们无法确定是否有人掌握关键信息并在警方到达前穿过田野逃离。警方显然还没有准备好排除涉嫌谋杀的可能性。不过，他们否认了其中一个流传较广的离奇传闻。

在过去的岁月里，或许直到今天，皮亚诺·米洛（Piano Milo）山区依然是黑手党的大本营，他们在难以抵达的山顶农场中建立巢穴。

这些崇尚大男子主义的教父们以极端的恐同而臭名昭著，以至于在 1992 年，他们下令枪杀了一名新泽西州的黑帮成员，因为后者的秘密同性恋生活被曝光。

因此，据传闻，他们不太可能欢迎同性恋嬉皮士进入他们的地盘。

于是，我向一名调查员提出：是否有可能一名偏执的当地黑手党成员出于恶意潜入了“仙子”（Faerie）集会？

集会的组织者、地主卡尔塔（Carta）对在这个文化格格不入的地方建立同性恋公社的危险性保持警觉。

“在地中海中心的西西里岛创造一个酷儿空间是一件大事，”他在几年前的一篇帖子中写道。

“在这里，就像在其他地方一样，传统价值观经常与 LGBTQ+ 群体追求认可和可见度的诉求发生冲突。”

然而，我的警方消息人士否认了黑手党袭击的说法。虽然我并不完全是所谓的“觉醒人士”，但我

“如果有人参与其中，他们一定掩盖了真相”

确信即使是黑手党（Cosa Nostra）也与时俱进，变得更加接纳多样性。市长阿门塔（Amenta）表示，这座城镇——正渴望像拥有巴洛克建筑的邻近城镇诺托（Noto）那样向旅游业多元化发展——毫无保留地欢迎每一个人。

那么，里弗（River）究竟是如何死掉的？这个问题折磨着他那悲痛欲绝的伴侣，对方并不关注新闻，直到几天前因为信息没有得到回复，才得知这场悲剧。

“起初我以为可能是自杀，但[根据警方提供的信息]看来并非如此，这简直太可怕了，”他告诉我，声音因激动而颤抖。

问题是，布雷斯韦特（Braithwaite）最后一次被看到时是在谁身边？

“我绝对希望看到有人为此负责，因为如果另一个人参与其中——我坚信确实如此——他们就试图掩盖真相，在这件事发生在其他人身上之前，必须让他们承担责任，”温斯顿（Winston）说道。

他们确实需要负责。宪兵队（Carabinieri）的警员承诺将不遗余力地调查，如果任何人与布雷斯韦特的死亡有关，都将被缉拿归案。

无论这个追求真理的男人最终遭遇了什么，为了纪念他并维护自己的名声，精灵族（Faeries）最好能放下他们的无政府主义价值观，尽最大努力确保正义得到伸张。

助产士在医院接触一氧化二氮后获赔 75 万英镑

超过 120 名助产士和产科工作人员在接触高浓度一氧化二氮后，获得了近 75 万英镑 的赔偿金。

这种被称为“笑气”的化合物用于分娩时的止痛，但长期接触会产生副作用。

皇家助产士学院（RCM）表示，由于巴希尔登大学医院（Basildon University Hospital）产科病房通风不良且气管泄漏，导致工作人员在 2021 年至 2023 年期间接触到了该气体。

助产士们报告了疲劳、头痛、脑雾和焦虑等症状。RCM 代表 120 多名员工采取了法律行动，并达成了一项近 75 万英镑 的和解协议。

RCM 的代理律师事务所 Thompsons 的丹尼尔·波埃特（Daniel Poet）表示：“他们绝不应该被置于风险之中。该信托机构在 2021, 就已知晓相关危险，但工作人员直到次年才被告知，而安全措施的引入又花了一年时间。”

如今，在突然失去丈夫三年后，悲伤的泪水被喜悦的泪水所取代，安娜贝尔·克罗夫特（Annabel Croft）及其家人为这个大日子团聚。

这位前网球运动员，60, 显然很自豪地看到她的幼女莉莉·科尔曼（Lily Coleman）在周末与菲利克斯·麦考科代尔（Felix McCorquodale）结为夫妻，后者是戴安娜王妃的亲戚。

她曾告诉《每日邮报》的理查德·伊登（Richard Eden），在得知丈夫梅尔·科尔曼（Mel Coleman）对这段结合的评价时，她深受感动，她说：“他给了我小女儿莉莉男朋友的许可。”

“菲利克斯告诉我……梅尔对他说过的话之一是，‘我绝对允许你娶莉莉’。”

科尔曼先生（右图与克罗夫特女士合影）因败血症去世，享年 60 岁——就在他们结婚30周年纪念日的前几周。

“心碎”的卡普林斯基透露将离婚

她是第一位年薪达到£100 万的新闻主播，并赢得了《舞动奇迹》（Strictly Come Dancing）首季的冠军，但娜塔莎·卡普林斯基（Natasha Kaplinsky）在爱情中并不幸运。

我可以透露，这位54岁的电视明星已与丈夫、投资银行家贾斯汀·鲍尔（Justin Bower，同样54岁）分居。

这对夫妇育有两个青少年子女，结婚已超过20年。他们现在正在办理离婚。

一位朋友告诉我：“娜塔莎心碎了。”

“这非常令人悲伤。”

他们在2005年结婚，此前在她是BBC One《早餐新闻》主持人期间，两人经历了不到三个月的热恋。

而在2023, 她曾告诉我他们正在考虑重新兑现结婚誓言。

她说：“我很想这么做。在结婚十周年纪念日时，我们确实带着重新宣誓的想法去了当地的教堂，但孩子们一直在尖叫，所以我们暂时推迟了。”

然而，我在5月报道称，他们已将位于法国阿尔卑斯山的滑雪度假屋以£270 万的价格挂牌出售。

这对夫妇告诉我：“我们可以确认，我们已共同决定结束婚姻，现在的重心是我们的孩子。”该家庭住在萨塞克斯郡的一个农场里，农场里有两只侏儒山羊、三只羊、九只羊驼和一头名叫梅贝尔（Mabel）的牛。

分居：贾斯汀·鲍尔与娜塔莎·卡普林斯基

娜塔莎于2002, 从天空新闻（Sky News）加入BBC，成为《六点新闻》的常驻主持人。

两年后，她成为了首位在《舞动奇迹》中捧起闪光球奖杯的人。

她非常受欢迎，以至于在泰丝·戴利（Tess Daly）休产假期间，她同意与已故的布鲁斯·福赛斯爵士（Sir Bruce Forsyth）共同主持第二季的前半部分。

卡普林斯基在2007年被第五频道新闻（Channel Five News）挖走，据报道年薪为£100 万 per year，创下了新闻主播的最高纪录。

她目前担任英国电影分级委员会主席。

她正花费4,000 英镑试图打造雕刻般的下颌线。她分享了这张正在接受XERF治疗的照片，这是一种“旨在刺激胶原蛋白产生、紧致皮肤的非侵入性射频治疗”。吉齐补充道：“随着‘新娘怪兽’（Bridezilla）本色的显现，我会随时向大家更新我的进展。”

■ 虽然同为《邻居》（Neighbours）前演员的玛格特·罗比（Margot Robbie）、克里斯·海姆斯沃斯（Chris Hemsworth）和盖·皮尔斯（Guy Pearce）在好莱坞事业蒸蒸日上，但杰森·多诺万（Jason Donovan）仍对自己未能步其后尘而感到耿耿于怀。多诺万，58, 现在沮丧地反思道：“我很想拍一部伟大的电影。不幸的是，我在早期做了一些相当糟糕的选择。”

夏洛特关闭“疗愈静修中心”

上个月称艾德·希兰（Ed Sheeran）为贪婪资本家的夏洛特·丘奇（Charlotte Church）不得不让自己的企业进入“冬眠”状态。

这位 40, “天使之声”之星于 2023. 在她的家乡威尔士开设了一家“疗愈静修中心”。该中心名为“梦境”（The Dreaming），位于里多多格庄园（Rhydoldog House），这里曾是时尚设计师劳拉·艾希莉（Laura Ashley）的住所，她在两年前以约 £150 万 的价格买下该庄园。然而，一名发言人现在表示，该中心将于12月关闭，因为“如今的世界与我们开始时的世界已截然不同”，且需要“重新评估我们应该提供什么样的服务”。

该发言人补充道：“我们必须梦想。而为了实现这一点，我们必须冬眠。我们无法确定具体何时从梦境之境回归，但我们一定会回归。”

凯米抨击帕洛玛的育儿方式

流行歌手帕洛玛·费思（Paloma Faith）上个月表示，她每晚在哄孩子们睡觉前都会告诉他们：“自由巴勒斯坦！”凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）对此并不认同。

“在我们家中没有意识形态训练，”这位保守党领袖在伯克郡的克利夫登文学节（Cliveden Literary Festival）上表示。

“我们应该让孩子们安静地成长。我不希望我的孩子被政治化。”

与帕洛玛一样拥有三个孩子的凯米补充道：“帕洛玛·费思的例子非常诡异。”

“当你想要将‘自由巴勒斯坦’的口号及其所有内涵植入一个孩子的脑海，而不让他们阅读历史、理解背景时，这说明出问题了。”

“这非常危险。”帕洛玛，现在轮到你回应了！

特别报道 作者：约翰·内什（JOHN NAISH）

多萝西·莫特（DOROTHY MOATE）经常被一种无法抑制的进食冲动所支配，以至于她曾被发现凌晨2点开始烤蛋糕。

“今天早上是胡萝卜蛋糕，”来自普利茅斯的 74, 退休教学助理多萝西告诉《健康》（Good Health）。“我绝对必须烤蛋糕——没有一天是不烤的。然后我就吃掉我烤的东西，”她说。即使在大餐后十分钟，她也会再次感到饥饿，必须吃更多东西。

进食并非她唯一的强迫行为。多萝西还经常受到无法控制的购物冲动影响，她的家中堆满了她并不需要的新衣服——以及 50 多双鞋。

多萝西并非一直如此。直到最近，她的胃口还很适中，体重保持在苗条的8英石，且只购买需要的衣服。

她说，这些冲动是由医生开的药触发的——而她现在正努力摆脱这些药物。

涉事药物被称为多巴胺激动剂，被广泛用于治疗不安腿综合征（RLS），这是一种常见的神经系统

---

“没有一天我不烘焙——然后把它吃掉”

这种疾病影响了英国估计约500万人，会导致一种无法抗拒的移动腿部的冲动。

它通常伴有不适感（如爬行感、拉扯感或刺痛感），这些感觉由休息或不活动触发，并在傍晚加剧。在大多数情况下，其原因尚不明确。

这种影响可能是颠覆性的，正如多萝西所解释的：“RLS（不安腿综合征）摧毁了你的睡眠——进而影响你的清醒生活——因为你无法停止这种不断的活动。”

但她没料到的是，为了对抗RLS而服用的一种药物会以其他方式摧毁她的生活，这是由于一种已知的潜在副作用——冲动和强迫行为。

一种广泛用于治疗不安腿的药物如何让多萝西产生网购强迫症——并驱使他人陷入无节制的赌博、暴食……以及性行为

她说，最糟糕的是，在服用九年后，由于一种令人崩溃的戒断症状——严重的焦虑，她很难停药。

活动人士表示，许多其他RLS患者也发现自己处于类似的境地。

一份要求调查多巴胺激动剂的请愿书称，一些患者面临着“财务破产、家庭崩溃、危险的冲动控制障碍、身体衰退……以及在某些情况下的刑事诉讼”。

其他人则采取了法律行动。2024年，来自汉普郡的66岁男子菲利普·史蒂文斯（Philip Stevens）在被开具治疗RLS的多巴胺激动剂且未被告知相关风险后，从其全科医生处获得了一笔 7 万英镑 的赔偿金。

随后他患上了冲动控制障碍，导致他在赌博网站上花费数千英镑，并购买昂贵的衣服将其藏在妻子不注意的地方。

受影响的患者人数可能极其庞大。多巴胺激动剂不仅用于治疗RLS，还用于治疗帕金森病、分泌激素的垂体瘤甚至抑郁症。

仅在英格兰，每年开出的此类药物处方就超过100万份。但人们担心，服用这些药物的人数正在增加，而他们并未意识到其中的风险。来自英格兰国民医疗服务体系（NHS England）的数据显示，2021年，三种最常用的多巴胺激动剂——普拉克索（pramipexole）、罗匹尼罗（ropinirole）和罗替高汀（rotigotine）的处方总量为126万份；到2025年，这一数字已上升至137万份。

多巴胺激动剂模拟多巴胺的效果，多巴胺是一种帮助调节身体运动的大脑化学物质。正如众多研究表明的那样，问题在于多巴胺在大脑中还充当着一种强大的“奖励”化学物质。

它促使我们重复那些此前引发愉悦感或成功感的行为。

这反过来会助长冲动性和成瘾性。事实上，冲动行为——包括赌博、购物、暴食和不恰当的性行为——长期以来被认为是多巴胺激动剂的副作用。

根据英国国家医疗服务卓越研究所（NICE）的数据，6%至17%的服用此类药物的RLS患者会出现这些副作用。而现在越来越多的证据表明，所有患者，无论其医疗问题是什么，都面临这些药物带来的风险。

例如，根据帕金森英国（Parkinson's UK）慈善机构的数据，在被开具此类药物治疗帕金森病的患者中，每六人就有一人受到冲动控制障碍的影响。

由于担忧日益增加，美国睡眠医学学会（American Academy of Sleep Medicine）在2024年建议，多巴胺激动剂不应被用作RLS的一线治疗方案。

然而，一个由志愿者领导的新活动组织“多巴胺激动剂行动小组”（Dopamine Agonist Action Group）警告称，英国患者很少收到其

医生（他们表示，药物信息单未能充分强调这些危险）。

这与多萝西的经历相吻合。她在35岁怀第一个孩子时最初出现了不安腿综合征（RLS），她说：“所有的烦躁不安都夺走了我的睡眠——但在孩子出生后，不安腿的情况停止了。”（这种情况在与怀孕相关的RLS中经常发生。）

然而，症状在绝经期期间再次出现。“当时我抚养着两个孩子，并担任教学助理，”多萝西说，“不安腿再次夺走了我的睡眠，这让我很难胜任这份需要高度专注的工作。”

她与结婚40年的丈夫罗伊（Roy，72岁，一名退休的电子显微镜学副教授）不得不搬到不同的卧室，“这样才不会干扰他的睡眠”。

多萝西最终在2017年向她的全科医生（GP）寻求帮助。

“她对RLS了解不多，所以她在一本大书里查了一下，然后宣布一种名为普拉克索（pramipexole）的药物可以解决我的症状，”多萝西回忆道。

普拉克索被用于治疗中度至重度RLS的症状，以及帕金森病。

“全科医生没有提到任何潜在的副作用，”多萝西说，“所以我很乐意服用它”。

事实上，药物安全单明确指出，冲动行为——如性成瘾、购物成瘾和赌博成瘾——是可能的副作用，尽管这些情况“不常见”，意味着影响人数少于100名患者中的1人。

但除了行为改变，对于RLS患者来说，还存在另一个潜在问题——它可能会使他们的RLS症状恶化。这被称为“增强效应”（augmentation），研究人员在2023年的《神经学前沿》（Frontiers in Neurology）杂志上警告称，这被认为是由于药物使患者大脑中的多巴胺受体脱敏，导致他们对肢体动作的控制力进一步下降。

根据美国不安腿综合征基金会（US Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation）上个月在《梅奥诊所医学杂志》（Mayo Clinic Proceedings）上发表的一篇论文，使用多巴胺激动剂八到十年的患者中，高达70%的人可能会受到增强效应的影响。

多萝西在开始服药时完全没有意识到自己面临的风险。她没有阅读安全单，很大程度上是因为——像我们许多人一样——她期望全科医生会提醒她任何重大问题。

“药物立即见效——第一晚我就没有症状了，”她说。“医生说如果需要，我可以将剂量从标准的初始88mcg增加，所以大约一年后不安腿再次出现时，我尝试稳步增加剂量。”

“但症状变得更糟了，我现在知道这是一个被认可的问题，叫做增强效应。情况变得如此糟糕，以至于症状出现的时间越来越早——从下午开始并持续整夜。我几乎完全无法入睡。”

未获警告：多萝西·莫特（Dorothy Moate）的药物导致她强迫性购物

“在下午和晚上，我会不停地在房间里踱步，洗热水澡，只是为了让自己放松下来。”

“当我向全科医生抱怨时，她感到很困惑。她不知道增强效应这件事。”

因此，在2019年，多萝西付费看了一位私人医生，并被开具了另一种多巴胺激动剂——罗匹尼罗（ropinirole）。但这让情况变得更糟。除了仍然遭受RLS症状的折磨，多萝西还产生了强迫行为。

“渐渐地，我开始吃得更多。吃完饭十分钟后，我就会再次感到饥饿。我的体重一直维持在8英石6磅，现在超过了10英石，这产生了巨大的影响，因为我只有5英尺高，”她说。

剑桥大学在《BMC神经病学》（BMC Neurology）杂志上警告称，RLS患者在多巴胺激动剂的影响下容易产生冲动行为，因为这些药物会影响大脑中调节情绪和动机的边缘系统。

今年3月——在活动人士的压力下——英国药物安全监管机构，即药品和医疗产品监管局（MHRA）宣布，将冲动行为的风险等级从“不常见”改为“常见”——这意味着其发生率在十分之一到100分之一之间。

7月，时任卫生部副国务大臣普里特·考尔·吉尔（Preet Kaur Gill）在议会书面答复中表示，“MHRA目前正在审查是否需要采取进一步行动，以提高人们对多巴胺激动剂引起冲动控制障碍现有警告的认识”。

与此同时，对于已经在服用这些药物的人，英国国家医疗服务体系卓越研究所（NICE）表示，如果患者出现冲动控制障碍（ICDs）的迹象，应减少剂量：“如果一个人出现了ICD，应停用多巴胺激动剂或减少剂量，直到症状消失。”

然而，专家表示，患者不应突然停止服用多巴胺激动剂药物，因为这会导致严重的戒断症状。在美国杜克大学神经病学副教授安德鲁·斯佩克特（Andrew Spector）2024年为开放大学出版社（Open University Press）撰写的一篇论文中警告称：“必须逐渐减少多巴胺激动剂的用量。这个过程可能是极其痛苦的：失眠、剧痛、焦虑、抑郁、自杀念头等。”

随后，一种新的强迫行为出现了。“除了暴饮暴食，强迫性购物也开始潜入，”多萝西补充道，“我无法克制自己上网买衣服和鞋子。”

多巴胺激动剂行动小组（Dopamine Agonist Action Group）的四位共同创始人之一大卫·威廉姆斯（David Williams）也表达了同样的观点，该小组于两个月前正式成立。他告诉《健康指南》（Good Health）：“神经学家现在将这个问题称为多巴胺激动剂戒断综合征。”

他补充说，戒断症状可能极其折磨人，以至于一些患者即使遵循了缓慢减量的建议，也从未能完全停止用药。

“他们被困在由药物引起的持续性冲动控制障碍中，而这种药物又通过增强效应（augmentation）使他们的不安腿综合征（RLS）症状恶化。”

多萝西对此残酷的事实深有体会。

这类问题早已被认识到。例如，早在2011年，神经科学家

“我尝试过好几次逐渐减掉多巴胺激动剂，”她说，“推荐的策略是每两周将剂量减半，直到几乎减为零。然而，我目前每天服用3毫克，因为我之前一直在增加剂量以停止RLS症状。”

“现在每次尝试减量时，我都会感到极度焦虑，以至于不得不放弃。”

大卫·威廉姆斯说，多萝西的情况不幸地代表了无数其他英国患者。

“我们收集的故事反复显示出相同的模式：灾难性的赌博和消费、性亢进和暴饮暴食、误诊和家庭破裂——患者和护理人员表示他们从未得到过适当的警告。”

“他们也没有收到关于症状增强的警告。这些并非孤立的恐怖故事，而是

这些药物还可能加重不安腿综合征

在开药、监测和复查方面持续存在失败。'

对多巴胺激动剂的担忧已导致英国开药指南做出了一些调整。

英国国家医疗卓越研究所（NICE）的一位发言人告诉《健康指南》（Good Health），根据去年的指南修订，加巴喷丁类药物已取代多巴胺激动剂，成为不安腿综合征（RLS）的一线治疗方案。这些药物也用于治疗神经痛，被认为是通过平息大脑的过度活跃来发挥作用的。

政府药物安全网站警告称，停止使用这些药物可能会导致严重的戒断症状，例如焦虑。

NICE发言人表示：“国际证据已不再支持将多巴胺激动剂作为一线治疗方案。医疗专业人员应参考我们的建议。”

与此同时，证据显示，患者在未被告知后果的情况下，仍被开具多巴胺激动剂。

然而，正如《健康指南》此前报道的，加巴喷丁类药物本身也具有严重的潜在副作用，包括呼吸问题。它们还可能具有成瘾性——而英国

虽然正式研究较少，但今年3月，由NHS Grampian发布的针对全科医生（GP）的公告警告称：“在一家全科诊所进行的审计发现，在2025年7月至8月期间被开具普拉克索治疗不安腿综合征的12名患者中，没有一名患者的病历中记录了已对其风险进行过咨询。”

英国皇家全科医师学会主席维多利亚·措齐乌-布朗（Victoria Tzortziou Brown）教授告诉《健康指南》：“被开具多巴胺激动剂的患者应接受关于潜在风险的咨询，被建议及时报告任何行为变化，并在出现令人担忧的

“患者称他们从未得到妥善警告”

症状时对其药物进行复查。在全科医疗中，多巴胺激动剂的开具频率仍然相对较低，且通常是根据专科医生的建议。”

但大卫·威廉姆斯（David Williams）表示，开药量正在增加，因为这些药物越来越多地被用于治疗抑郁症等精神健康状况，希望通过增强多巴胺奖励系统来让患者感到更有动力。

他说：“任何此类用途都属于实验性或超说明书用药，考虑到这些药物已知的风险，这尤其令人担忧。”

法律诉讼的风险可能有助于遏制多巴胺激动剂开药量的上升。

近期英国的法院案例——例如菲利普·史蒂文斯（Philip Stevens）案——在患者未被告知副作用或未对其进行监测的情况下，判决了赔偿金。

此类案件引起了英国帕金森病协会（Parkinson's UK）的深切关注。

该慈善机构首席执行官卡罗琳·拉塞尔（Caroline Rassell）告诉《健康指南》：“我们已向英国药品和医疗产品管理局（MHRA）提出担忧，关于这些副作用在药物信息单中的呈现方式。目前它们被隐藏起来，没有列在主要副作用中，这一点需要改变。”

“我还有一个两岁的孙辈，我很喜欢看他 / 她。这些都是让我坚持下去——并继续尝试摆脱这些药物的巨大动力。”

MHRA首席安全官艾莉森·凯夫（Alison Cave）博士告诉《健康指南》：“我们正在进行全面评估，以确定是否需要采取任何监管行动，以帮助提高英国患者和医疗专业人员对这些风险的进一步认识。”

与此同时，多萝西（Dorothy）仍然患有不安腿综合征，这经常导致她每晚睡眠时间少至四小时。然而，她决心尝试戒掉这些药物。

她说：“我打算再次尝试逐渐减药，尽管那些成功的人警告我，最后阶段简直是地狱。”

“我很幸运，我的丈夫理解我的强迫行为以及这些行为是如何由开的药引起的。这对我有很大的帮助。”

发现疾病的新方法？通过拭子检测肚脐气味

肚脐最为人熟知的身份，要么是神秘绒毛的聚集地，要么是 1990 年代流行歌手反叛穿孔的部位。

但一项新研究表明，我们应该更严肃地对待肚脐——一个人肚脐的特定气味可能会揭示其健康状况的关键线索。

作者：KAT LAY

研究人员分析了通过拭子采集的气味，这些拭子分别在鼻孔、肚脐和外耳廓上擦拭。

选择这些身体部位进行测试是基于这样一种想法：它们可能是“气味储藏库”，除臭剂、香水和其他外部化学物质较不容易干扰其自然气味。能够识别气味化学成分模式的激光技术，使研究人员能够分辨出谁健康，谁患有帕金森病、新冠肺炎（Covid-19）或轻度认知障碍。

首席研究员、来自德国弗劳恩霍夫集成电路研究所（Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits）的数字感官感知专家 Thorsten Graunke 博士表示，肚脐样本是身体气味化学物质的良好来源，因为它们“不经常被肥皂干扰”。他认为，这项研究可能为各种疾病的一种“粗略”居家筛查铺平道路。

我们每个人都被一层独特且不可见的化学气体云包围，这种气体被称为挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）。

Graunke 博士解释道：“人体通过正常的代谢过程不断排出 VOCs。每次我们呼气、出汗或脱落微小的皮肤细胞时，都会释放出一层独特的化学物质云——统称为人体挥发组（human volatilome）。”

当一个人患病或感染时，挥发组会发生变化。科学家表示，关于宠物在主人察觉症状之前就能感知到其患癌的故事，很可能是因为动物更灵敏的鼻子捕捉到了这些变化。

这项发表在《科学报告》（Scientific Reports）上的新研究，尝试通过拭子采集参与者的鼻孔、肚脐和耳甲（就在耳道开口后方）的挥发组样本。

共有 24 名参与者：其中 6 人健康，其余人已知患有帕金森病、新冠肺炎（Covid-19）或轻度认知障碍。他们专注于这些病症，是因为早期的研究发现这些病症与身体气味的变化有关。

每个部位的拭子采样时间约为10秒。随后，拭子被放入密封袋中并在-20℃下冷冻，以保存化合物。接着，研究人员使用基于激光的光声光谱法对样本进行测试，该方法通过向气体照射不同波长的光，使其产生相应的振动。不同的化学物质会产生不同的振动模式。

研究人员能够根据这些模式识别参与者患有哪种疾病——其中最清晰的信号来自鼻腔和肚脐的拭子。

他们还发现，仅使用少数几个波长就能捕捉到最重要的信息。格劳恩克（Graunke）博士表示，这“可以在未来加快测量速度并简化设备设置”。

来自健康对照组以及帕金森病或认知障碍患者的拭子是在一个无味的医院房间内采集的。出于感染控制的原因，新冠肺炎患者自行采集了样本。这是否意味着有一天人们可以在家中自行采集样本？“有可能！”格劳恩克博士说，“这些拭子可以用作初步筛查。”

“我们的愿景是制造一种可以插入拭子的手持设备，”他说，但同时强调这是一个“长期愿景，目前尚未实现”。他补充道，这仅仅是一项小型试点研究——团队正在寻求资金，以便在更大规模的群体中使用该方法。

嗅觉科学专家、伦敦卫生与热带医学学院衍生公司 Digital Odour Technologies 的创始人詹姆斯·洛根（James Logan）教授表示：“我总是对这类研究感到兴奋，因为我们越能理解气味，并尝试使用不同方法来弄清楚其中发生了什么，我们就越能更好地利用它。”

他的公司已经开发出一种手持设备，用于检测气味中的挥发性有机化合物（VOCs），以判断患者是否患有登革热或疟疾。

洛根教授表示，在医学领域，气味检测相比血液或唾液等传统样本的主要优势在于其非侵入性。他补充道：“气味往往在感染的极早期就会发生变化。”经过训练能够嗅出 Covid-19 的狗比侧流检测（lateral flow tests）能更早地检测出疾病。

将气味作为诊断工具尚处于起步阶段，但已有先例，例如医疗检测犬可以检测到即将发生的癫痫发作，或糖尿病患者血糖水平的危险波动。

“随着该领域快速发展，我认为这种情况很快就会改变，我们将开始看到能够通过嗅觉告诉我们何时生病的机器，”洛根教授说，“有一天它会像智能手表一样小。”

他表示，越来越多的研究表明，每种疾病都会有一种独特的、细化到非常具体水平的气味。“例如，一些研究表明你可以区分两种不同类型的流感。”

他补充说，采集肚脐样本是有道理的。“之前的研究关注腋下，因为那里通常气味很重。但人们使用除臭剂，而除臭剂中的化学化合物会掩盖与疾病相关的挥发性有机化合物。即使你一段时间不用，仍会有除臭剂的残留，这会干扰测试。”

“因此，腹部周围的某个位置相当理想，因为它不太可能被其他物质污染。”

姜黄正处于流行期——高街连锁店 Holland & Barrett 透露，去年姜黄是其所有类别中最畅销的补充剂，甚至比复合维生素更受欢迎。

这种金黄色的香料在印度烹饪中已被使用了数世纪，目前因其潜在的抗炎效果而受到关注；支持者声称它可以帮助缓解从关节疼痛到消化不良以及糖尿病前期的各种问题。

大部分科学兴趣集中在姜黄中的主要活性化合物——姜黄素上。例如，据《医学前沿》（Frontiers in Medicine）杂志报道，5月份的一项重大综述发现，姜黄素可以减轻骨关节炎患者的疼痛并改善关节功能，且部分效果与布洛芬等非甾体抗炎药相当。

“研究表明，姜黄素可以通过阻断引起身体炎症反应的酶的活性来减轻炎症，例如在关节炎等病症中，”威斯敏斯特大学民族药理学（研究不同文化如何利用植物进行医疗）讲师、领先的姜黄研究员安东尼·布克（Anthony Booker）表示。

“许多现代止痛药通过阻断这些相同的酶来针对疼痛。有证据表明，姜黄素还可以降低血糖水平——可能是通过提高细胞对胰岛素的反应能力，从而清除血液中更多的糖分——因此，它可能在管理 type 2 糖尿病和糖尿病前期（血糖高于正常值但不足以诊断为糖尿病）中发挥作用。”

“此外，还有初步证据表明它可以用于治疗心灼感和消化问题——可能是通过减轻肠道炎症。”

研究表明，姜黄素的有效剂量从 160mg 开始，但比较货架上的产品并不简单，因为名称被混用：有些标注的是所含姜黄根或姜黄粉的量，而另一些则列出姜黄素或总姜黄素类化合物（包括姜黄素和另外两种抗炎效果较弱的化合物）。

它是英国最受欢迎的补充剂，据说可治疗消化不良、关节炎甚至糖尿病前期……

那么，服用抗炎姜黄的最佳方式是什么？

作为参考，一茶匙姜黄粉中大约含有 100mg 姜黄素。欧洲食品安全局为成年人设定的每日安全限量为 210mg 姜黄素，大约相当于 2 茶匙姜黄粉——这对于烹饪印度菜的人来说很容易达到。

另一个挑战是姜黄素是脂溶性的，不溶于水，因此在被身体吸收之前，大部分会被分解并排出体外。

为了解决这个问题，产品通常添加黑胡椒提取物（胡椒碱）或添加脂肪，以帮助其吸收。

“有证据表明，胡椒碱可以将吸收率提高多达 20 倍，”安东尼·布克说。但他补充道，如此大幅度地提高吸收率可能意味着产品超过了安全剂量指南，因此请务必检查标签。

“我的研究还表明，姜黄素补充剂的质量可能参差不齐——尤其是通过网络购买的产品。”

主张：每粒胶囊含 500 mg 姜黄，“支持关节健康”。每日服用一粒。

专家评定：此剂量的纯姜黄只能提供约 25mg 的活性姜黄素。虽然这很安全，但并未达到例如关节炎研究中所使用的有益剂量。

该产品还含有硬脂酸镁和二氧化硅（用于防止粉末结块）——有些人倾向于避免这些成分，因为他们将其视为不必要的化学添加剂。

服用姜黄的传统方法是将一两茶匙姜黄加入全脂牛奶中，配以少量黑胡椒饮用，或在烹饪时加入油中：这样会便宜得多且更有效，因为你将获得接近 200mg 的姜黄素——是该产品含量的 8 倍。3 / 10

这是一个相对较低的量，未达到大多数试验中约 160mg 的最低治疗剂量。

姜黄素在水中的溶解度也很差，因此在这种形式下，大部分姜黄素无法进入血液循环。

健康指南 为什么你不应该依赖智能手表检查血压 《每日邮报》，2026年10月13日，星期二

它们会显示关于你的心率、睡眠模式和每日步数的令人安心的数据——甚至可能会在你的血压危险过高时发出警告。

但新研究表明，依赖某些智能手表来监测血压可能会让数百万人误以为自己没有问题，从而潜在地增加他们患心脏病或中风的风险。

已知英国约有 1600 万 人患有高血压；另有 500 万人可能在不知情的情况下受到影响，因为高血压可能没有症状。然而，如果血液推向动脉壁的力量持续较高，会对心脏和血管造成压力——增加心脏病和中风的风险。

一些智能手表承诺能帮助发现这一问题。

它们的测量方式与全科医生或药剂师使用的袖带不同，后者通过在手臂上端充气来测量动脉压力。

相反，它们使用传感器来捕捉手腕处的脉搏——一种

算法利用这些信息来估算血压。

然而，这种估算可能会受到动作、手臂位置或手表佩戴位置的影响。

尽管如此，仍有数百万人依赖这些设备。监测血压的智能设备包括 Apple Watch——全球有 2 亿人使用；而华为、三星和小米生产的设备用户则超过 4 亿。一年前推出的一款 Apple Watch 版本，其“高血压通知功能”获得了美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）的批准。该功能配备了一个光学传感器，利用光线来追踪手腕处的脉搏。

高血压会改变脉搏在动脉中传输的方式，因此手表会在 30 天内监测这些变化，从而建立一个平均读数。

但近期发表在《美国医学会杂志》（JAMA）上的一项研究发现了令人担忧的证据，表明该设备未能检测出超过一半未被诊断出高血压的人群。（NHS 认为，居家测量时，血压在 135 / 85 或以上即为高血压。理想的读数在 90 / 60 到 120 / 80 之间。）

在这些病例中，92% 的情况正确地没有发出警报，但有 7% 的人被警告血压偏高（而使用专业袖带监测 30 天的结果已确认其血压并不高）。苹果公司表示，该功能“并非旨在诊断、治疗或辅助管理高血压或其他疾病”。

这项研究是在美国心脏协会去年发出警告之后进行的，该协会指出，旨在追踪血压的智能手表和其他可穿戴设备在诊断该病症方面还不够可靠。

更多与房颤（AF）相关的医疗预约、心脏检查和手术。

宾夕法尼亚大学的专家分析了涉及 1,800 名志愿者的苹果公司测试数据，以确定其读数正确或错误的频率。随后，他们将这些数据与来自另外 4,000 名成年人的独立美国数据相结合，以计算如果该手表被更广泛地使用，有多少未被诊断出高血压的人可能会收到警告。

“无袖带血压设备非常方便，能够进行频繁或连续的监测，”美国宾夕法尼亚大学的高血压顾问乔丹娜·科恩（Jordana Cohen）博士说道，她参与了美国心脏协会的审查。

“使用可穿戴设备的房颤患者报告的心脏特异性焦虑比不使用的人更多，其中 20% 的人描述由设备警报引发的剧烈焦虑，”领导该研究的北卡罗来纳大学医学院医学助理教授林赛·罗斯曼（Lindsey Rosman）告诉《健康指南》（Good Health）。

近一半的可穿戴设备用户每天检查心率或进行心电图（ECG）检查，这通常是出于习惯，而非因为出现了症状。

“然而，商业化的速度已经超过了科学研究。如果没有适当的验证，无袖带血压设备的读数不足以可靠地为治疗决策提供参考。”

这是因为智能手表内置用于测量心率和心脏电活动的心电图（ECG）功能存在局限性。

全科医生诊所和医院使用的心电图机可进行12项不同的电测量，为医生提供详细的图像。

“大多数智能手表中的心电图是‘单导联’的，这意味着它们仅使用一个电极传感器来测量心脏的电活动，”英国心脏基金会的心脏科护士露丝·戈斯（Ruth Goss）表示。

她补充说，无害的额外心跳、运动、移动或手表与皮肤接触不良都可能产生异常读数。

“智能手表的设计初衷并不是为了给你提供诊断，”她说。

“这种常规检查往往会加剧焦虑而非缓解焦虑，”罗斯曼博士（Dr Rosman）表示。“大多数人缺乏理解并应对这些健康警报所需的背景知识。”

此外，越来越多的证据表明，重复的警报会让部分用户感到焦虑，并导致更多的医疗预约。据《美国心脏协会杂志》报道，在2024年一项涉及172名心房颤动（AF）患者的研究中，使用智能手表或健身追踪器的人员中，每五人就有一人报告在设备警告可能出现AF发作时感到强烈的恐惧或焦虑。

不仅仅是佩戴设备的人被认为患病——他们报告的AF症状并不比非佩戴者多。然而在九个月的时间里，他们有50%

她补充道：“如果你不知道自己的正常心率是什么样的，任何异常读数都可能被视为危险信号。爬楼梯后心率加快无需担心，但如果没有这个背景，警报可能会让人觉得是紧急情况。”

对于许多智能手表提供的“压力”评分，也存在类似的质疑。

在2025年发表于《精神病理学与临床科学杂志》的一项研究中，781名学生佩戴了佳明（Garmin）手表三个月。该设备通过追踪心跳之间的时间变化（这可以反映身体对压力或劳累的反应）来计算压力分数。研究人员将手表的压力读数与学生每天多次报告的实际压力感受进行了对比。

“用户报告的压力水平与手表报告的结果始终无法匹配，”领导该研究的德国马尔堡菲利普大学研究员比约恩·西佩（Bjorn Siepe）表示。

“当一个人在跳舞、快走或进行任何稍微耗力的活动时，智能手表可能会认为他们处于压力状态。

“随后，读到你处于压力状态——即便你可能并没有那样感觉——可能会诱导人们担心自己做错了什么，尽管这样做并没有充分的理由。”

露丝·戈斯（Ruth Goss）补充道：“虽然这些设备在追踪身体活动和健康趋势方面很有用，但至关重要的一点是，人们必须明白它们并不像全科医生诊所或医院的医疗检测那样可靠，例如心电图（ECG）或袖带式血压计。

“人们很容易过度关注数字和读数。对于某些人来说，佩戴健身追踪器对身心健康的损害可能比不佩戴更大。”

这项改变我进餐时间的卓越研究

健康头条背后

作者：罗布·加洛韦（ROB GALLOWAY）教授

我们都知道，饮食对健康有巨大影响。但现在有证据表明，我们的饮食——更具体地说，是进餐的时间——实际上可能有助于治疗严重疾病，并有可能预防诸如痴呆症之类的病症。

对于像我这样患有肠道相关问题的人来说，这具有潜在的重大意义。

我从 20 岁出头起就患有克罗恩病，尽管过了很多年才被诊断出来，而且在很长一段时间里，我将自己的症状归结为压力。但那是另一个时候要讲的故事了。

我的症状包括腹痛、疲劳和腹泻。

能够在成功捕猎后进食。但现在，我们 24 / 7 都能获得高脂肪、高糖的食物。

我这样做是为了缓解我令人困扰的肠道症状，但这也能帮助你控制血糖并减轻体重。

关于禁食影响的第一个真正线索来自 2012年发表的一项里程碑式研究，该研究表明，喂食高脂饮食但仅允许在 8 小时窗口内进食的小鼠，能够免受肥胖、高胰岛素水平、炎症和脂肪肝的影响。

一天要上 6 到 10 次厕所，在家里就已经够难了——更不用说在工作中——因此，改变进餐时间（而不是改变吃什么或吃多少）就能缓解我的症状，这个想法令人兴奋。

图片：SHUTTERSTOCK

一项最近发表在《胃肠病学》（Gastroenterology）杂志上的研究似乎表明了这一点。

最近，德克萨斯大学西南医学中心的研究人员研究了 TRE 对小鼠衰老的影响，并发现那些进食时间限制在 8 小时或 12 小时内的小鼠衰弱程度较低且体脂较少——而雄性小鼠的衰老速度也更慢（为什么仅限雄性尚不清楚），据《自然-衰老》（Nature Aging） 6 月报道。

研究发现，当克罗恩病患者仅改变进餐时间——也就是说，他们不需要放弃特定食物或削减卡路里——他们的症状得到了显著改善。

但并非每项研究都如此积极。最值得注意的是，权威的 Cochrane 组织在今年早些时候的一项综述中发现，间歇性禁食带来的体重减轻效果与传统的饮食建议相比几乎没有差别。

对于我以及其他患有炎症性肠病的人来说，这一发现至关重要，而其影响和潜在益处则延伸到我们所有人。

这项来自加拿大卡尔加里大学和不列颠哥伦比亚大学的研究，专门探讨了时间限制性饮食（TRE）——即每天在设定的小时数内进餐——对克罗恩病患者的影响。

在一次为期 12 周的试验中，35 名参与者（全部为肥胖者）中有 20 人每周 6 天在 8 小时的时间窗内（例如上午 10 点到下午 6 点）进食；其余的人则继续维持原有的饮食模式。

尽管两组报告的饮食质量和卡路里摄入量相似，但禁食组平均减轻了 2. 5kg（5. 5lb），而另一组则增加了约 1. 7kg（3. 7lb）。

此外，扫描显示，禁食组内脏周围的脂肪有所减少，而另一组则有所增加。

TRE 组的肠道细菌也发生了有益的变化，包括微生物种类更加多样化，以及一些已知能产生有助于调节炎症物质的细菌有所增加。此外，他们与脂肪组织、炎症和免疫系统相关的 3. 种蛋白质发生了显著变化。

至关重要地，这些蛋白质包括瘦素（leptin）——它主要由脂肪细胞产生，有助于控制食欲，同时在调节免疫力方面也发挥作用。

虽然我们尚不确定时间限制饮食（TRE）为何会对肠道微生物和炎症产生这种影响，但定期禁食可能会改变细菌的平衡，从而促进那些能够产生有助于调节炎症物质的细菌生长。

尽管这是一项小规模的初步研究，但其结果凸显了我们的生物钟所起的作用远不止决定何时感到困倦；它对我们的消化、激素释放和血糖控制至关重要。

在限定的时间窗内进食并避免在深夜进食，可能有助于我们顺应而非违背生物钟——例如，我们的身体在一天早些时候对胰岛素激素通常更为敏感，因此能更好地处理餐后血糖的升高。

但我们确实知道，过度的炎症是克罗恩病和其他类型炎症性肠病的核心——对我而言，值得注意的是，TRE组报告肠道活动减少了 40%，并且

我们知道破坏这些节律至关重要，因为从事夜班工作的人

腹部不适感减轻了 50%，而对照组中未出现此类改善。

患肥胖症和代谢性疾病（如 2 型糖尿病）的概率更高。

所有这些结论的主要证据来自今年早些时候发表在《BMJ医学》（BMJ Medicine）上的一项对 41 场试验的分析，该分析发现，与通常的饮食模式相比，TRE 改善了体重、腰围、血糖和胰岛素水平。

但或许更有趣的是，在一天中较早进食的人通常比较晚进食的人效果更好——体重多减轻了约 1kg，且胰岛素水平较低。然而，单纯地不断缩短进食时间窗并不能持续产生更好的结果。

限制进食时间的想法在进化论上是合理的。

在过去，我们只能

这引发了诸如“禁食无效”之类的标题——但事实是，参与者仍然减轻了体重。此外，该综述并未研究时间点是否会对代谢、炎症和肠道产生益处。

对我而言，时间限制饮食似乎具有改善代谢健康并减轻某些与炎症相关的过程的潜力，这对我们所有人都有意义，因为炎症是导致包括心脏病、中风和痴呆症在内的慢性疾病的诱因。

因此，在回顾了所有研究之后，我打算尝试将我的卡路里摄入控制在 8 小时的时间窗内——从上午 10 点到下午 6 点。因为重要的不仅是你吃什么，还有你何时吃。

注：如果您处于怀孕或哺乳期，请不要尝试 TRE——如果您有任何医疗状况，请先咨询您的全科医生（GP）。

LSD真的能帮人们摆脱慢性焦虑吗？

治疗严重的焦虑症可能非常困难。目前的治疗方法并非对每个人都有效，因此最近关于单次剂量LSD（麦角酸二乙酰胺）即可缓解焦虑长达三个月的头条新闻十分引人注目。

为了深入了解，我在科学期刊中寻找这项研究——但我能找到的只有一家药物公司的新闻稿及其网站上的报道。

Definium Therapeutics公司公布了一项涉及245名广泛性焦虑障碍患者的试验结果。

12周后，接受较高剂量LSD的人员在焦虑量表上的得分平均提高了9.8分，而接受安慰剂的人员则提高了4.7分。

当然，如果你正在经历LSD带来的幻觉之旅，你会知道自己不在伪治疗组中——这可能会使结果产生偏差。研究人员意识到了这个问题，并加入了一个接受半剂量LSD的小组。全剂量组的焦虑得分下降了约9.8分，半剂量组下降了8.3分。

但只有52名患者接受了较低剂量，而且重要的是，该公司表示该研究并非旨在对两种剂量进行统计学比较。这意味着我们不能说两者的效果几乎一样好。这一点至关重要，因为如果高剂量确实效果更好，则证明了这是药物的作用而非安慰剂效应。

在许多方面，还存在另一个更严重的问题。

我只能在公司的网站上找到这些特定的结果——而没有在医学期刊上看到完整的报告，因为医学期刊在发表前能让独立评审员提出问题并获得澄清。

这并不意味着结果是错误的。我并非否定LSD可能有所帮助的可能性。但在完整的科学论文公布之前，我们不应将其视为一项突破。

我们绝对不希望人们想到尝试用LSD来治疗焦虑——这些研究在医疗监督下，使用了经过极其严格控制剂量的纯制造药物，这与我在急诊室（A&E）见过的那些带有危险后果的非法LSD截然不同。

腹胀且排气过多？可能是你的反流药在作祟

问：我服用奥美拉唑（omeprazole）已经快 30 年了。我尝试过几次停药，但胃酸反流总是会复发。最近，我注意到我的排便习惯发生了变化，但血液检查和结肠镜检查结果均正常。我想知道这是否是因为缺乏益生菌导致的，以及益生菌是否会有帮助？

答：排便习惯的改变可能与严重疾病相关，因此你的血液检查和结肠镜检查结果正常是令人欣慰的。

我怀疑奥美拉唑是这里的关键。这是一种质子泵抑制剂——这类药物被广泛用于治疗反流。

它们通过抑制胃酸分泌来发挥作用，但随着时间的推移，这可能会让你更容易患上小肠细菌过度生长（SIBO），即小肠中生长了过多的细菌。常见症状包括腹胀、排气过多和腹泻。

服用奥美拉唑等抑酸药物的人也更容易出现便秘（部分原因是它们会破坏肠道微生物的平衡）。胃酸通常会杀死随食物进入的细菌。但如果酸度较低，有害细菌就会在不该生长的地方滋生，从而增加了患 SIBO 的风险。

确认是否为 的唯一可靠方法是进行呼吸测试，检测细菌产生的氢气或甲烷痕迹。

你的全科医生（GP）可以将你转诊去做此项检查，或者为你做结肠镜检查的胃肠病团队应该能够安排。这应该是你的下一步行动。

如果确认患有 ，可以使用抗生素（如利法昔明）进行治疗。

至于益生菌，尝试服用没有坏处，尽管目前还没有确凿证据表明它们对 有效。

问：我的丈夫在一年前开始遭受严重头痛的折磨。扫描排除了其他问题，他被诊断为偏头痛。他接受了肉毒杆菌毒素（Botox）注射和药物 Aquipta 的治疗，但都没有效果。他日夜处于疼痛之中。在能够坚持的情况下，他仍然坚持工作，但每一天都是一种煎熬。

（姓名和地址已提供）

答：你描述的情况听起来像是慢性偏头痛——本质上是指每月发生 15 天或更多天的偏头痛。由于头痛发生得如此频繁，有时它被更通俗地描述为慢性每日头痛。

标准的偏头痛药物（如曲普坦类药物）有助于缓解症状，但频繁且长期服用（例如每月 10 天或更多天，持续数月）可能会导致反跳性头痛，即治疗本身反而会使头痛加剧。

肉毒杆菌毒素注射在预防或减轻发作方面可能有效。其具体作用机制尚不明确，但它似乎能中断参与偏头痛的部分神经和血管网络。标准方法是在头部和颈部肌肉中注射 30 次或更多次肉毒杆菌毒素，并在 12 周后重复。但这并非对每个人都有效。

然后是你的丈夫被开的药物 Aquipta。它属于一组新型偏头痛药物，能够阻断降钙素基因相关肽（一种与偏头痛疼痛相关的蛋白质）。

研究表明，该药物使四分之十的患者的偏头痛天数减少了一半。同样，这很有帮助但并不完美。

这两项强效治疗对你丈夫无效，并不能排除偏头痛的可能性，但我怀疑这是否为正确的诊断。

现在需要的是咨询专家，因为还存在其他可能性，例如巨细胞动脉炎，它会导致头部、颈部和手臂的动脉发炎。

你在较长的信件中提到他正在等待就诊 NHS 的神经科医生。在此期间，我建议请求他的全科医生再次开具 Aquipta 处方，并每天或隔天服用一次。

在我看来……用鼻子呼吸至关重要

您是否知道，通过鼻腔的空气流动会在两个鼻孔之间交替？

这被称为鼻周期，这意味着当一侧的血管肿胀导致部分充血时，另一侧通道保持开放——两侧大约每两小时更换一次。

其目的尚未被完全理解，但可能是为了让两侧轮流执行不同的任务——当一侧处理更多的气流时，另一侧则清理黏液和被截留的微粒。

这一点至关重要，因为通过鼻腔的空气流动会影响我们身体其他部位的许多活动——例如，同步嗅觉皮层（处理气味）、杏仁核（参与处理情绪）和海马体（对记忆至关重要）等大脑区域的活动——而口呼吸时则不会发生这种情况。鼻子和鼻窦还会在空气被吸入肺部之前对其进行过滤。

这里传递的信息是，用鼻子呼吸很重要。然而，许多人即使没有鼻塞也会用嘴呼吸。因此，请尽最大努力改变这一点，即使你必须有意识地重新训练自己。

每年，大约 4,000 名英国人将遭受侵袭性曲霉病（invasive aspergillosis）的侵害，这是一种由霉菌引起的严重真菌感染，这种霉菌可能潜伏在堆肥堆、腐烂的叶子，甚至枕头和被褥中。

如果不治疗，几乎总是致命的。即使在有治疗方案的情况下，三分之一到一半的患者也会在数周内死亡——这种情况通常被发现得太晚，且通常发生在免疫系统受损、无法协助药物对抗感染的患者身上。有时，引起感染的曲霉菌对治疗具有耐药性。

因此，患者和医生对一种研发了数十年的新药问世感到兴奋也就不足为奇了。

但人们也担心，农业中用于防治真菌的杀菌剂会产生对药物具有抗性的“超级真菌”——导致药物在上市之前就失效。

这种名为 Olorofim 的药物针对的是霉菌生长和复制所需的某种酶。在一项试验中，它的效果与现有药物一样好，但副作用只有一半。

在这些结果出炉后，制造商正准备向医疗监管机构提交申请。如果获得批准，Olorofim 将成为 20 年多以来治疗侵袭性曲霉病的首个新疗法。侵袭性曲霉病是一种曲霉菌扩散到肺部和其他器官的疾病。

“我们迫切需要新的治疗方法，特别是对于那些感染对现有药物耐药或无法耐受现有药物的患者，”曲霉病信托基金会（Aspergillosis Trust）主席丽莎·麦克尼尔（Lisa McNeil）表示。“在现有治疗手段有限的情况下，拥有另一个选择就意味着希望。”

Lindsey Collins, 38, 是其中之一。她在 2020 年生下儿子诺亚（Noah）后不久，被诊断出大脑患有侵袭性曲霉病感染。

健康指南 农药如何让我们更容易受到致命真菌的侵害，就像在林赛大脑中发现的那种真菌一样

医院感染：林赛·柯林斯（Lindsey Collins）

她在出现子痫前期（怀孕期间血压危险升高）并伴有胸部感染后，接受了紧急剖腹产手术。

分娩后，她被诱导进入昏迷状态以帮助身体对抗感染，但随后出现了一系列中风并导致心脏骤停。

随着林赛的康复，扫描显示她的肺部和大脑中存在肿块，最终（在活检后）被诊断为曲霉菌（Aspergillus fungi）。中风导致她暂时瘫痪。

“我必须重新学习如何行走。当我终于第一次抱起诺亚（Noah）时，他已经九周大了，”林赛回忆道。“这段经历非常、非常艰难——而现在我又面临这个新问题。”

但直到三年后，她才得知自己的预后情况实际上有多么糟糕。“医生说：‘你最多还有五年时间，如果能把时间往后推，我们就相当幸运了’，”她说道。

距离诊断已接近六年，这段对话一直笼罩在林赛心头，她是一位单身母亲，与父母一起住在爱尔兰的科克（Cork）。

“我还没准备好离开，”她说。“但我为诺亚做了准备。我给他买了书，教他如何理解我的离去以及我去了哪里。我试图把事情安排妥当，但这太难了。”

作者：凯特·莱（KAT LAY）

在怀诺亚的时候，我是一个非常活跃的人。我经常外出，每天工作12小时。”

得益于强效抗真菌药物的治疗，她大脑中的一些肿块已经缩小，但前部仍有一个巨大的肿块。因此，林赛表示，能够获得替代药物的前景是“极好的”。

Olorofim潜在的问题在于，一种用于农作物的名为ipflufenquin的杀菌剂针对的是同一种酶。当真菌接触到抗真菌药物或杀菌剂时，这会给真菌提供产生化学耐药性的机会。

“我们感染的真菌通常来自环境——它们生活在草地、土壤等地方，”伯明翰大学真菌免疫学专家丽贝卡·德拉蒙德（Rebecca Drummond）教授说。“如果它们在环境中产生了耐药性，那么在患者接受药物治疗之前，就可能被耐药菌株感染。”

这种威胁并非纯粹的理论，而是在其他被称为“唑类”（azoles）的抗真菌药物中已经发生过——这类药物因价格低廉、剂型多样（包括口服）且对多种真菌有效而得到广泛使用（林赛目前正在使用一种唑类药物Cresemba进行治疗）。

德拉蒙德教授表示，目前已有“相当充分的证据表明，我们在患者身上看到的一些耐药性感染[是]由于农业使用抗真菌药物而在环境中获得的”。

事实上，在农业中用于保护谷类作物免受曲霉菌侵害的唑类药物耐药性问题日益严重。

而且，2024年发表在《自然-微生物学》（Nature Microbiology）杂志上的一项研究表明，使曲霉菌接触ipflufenoquin会导致产生对Olorofim耐药的菌株。

曼彻斯特大学全球健康传染病教授、Olorofim背后公司的创始人大卫·丹宁（David Denning）表示，面对一名无法用现有药物治愈真菌感染的患者是“可怕的”。

“有侵袭性的感染，会在一两周内致人死亡；还有慢性的感染，会在数周或数月内不断恶化，”他说。“这两种情况都非常糟糕。我见过许多因耐药真菌而死亡的患者，如果我们有新药，他们本可以被救活。”

他补充道，大多数人每天吸入数百或数千个曲霉菌孢子而不会产生不良影响——“就在你的日常生活中，走在路上，枕头和被子（那里潮湿温暖，是孢子的滋生地）里有一点曲霉菌就睡在上面——我们都暴露在其中”。

但如果一个人的免疫系统受损，例如癌症患者，或者患有囊性纤维化或慢性阻塞性肺病等肺部疾病，那么他们就特别脆弱。

林赛不知道自己是在何时何地感染了真菌，尽管她担心在她住院期间，医院的装修可能将孢子释放到了空气中。

总体而言，耐药性真菌感染正日益引起关注。例如，耳念珠菌（Candida auris）对多种药物具有耐药性，并在全球范围内的医院（包括英国）引发了爆发。

谈到抗真菌药物时，伦敦帝国理工学院传染病与医学真菌学教授达里乌斯·阿姆斯特朗-詹姆斯（Darius Armstrong-James）表示：“我们的选择并不多。如果有一种新药可用，我们希望尽一切努力将其保留下来。”

但这并不像禁止使用杀菌剂那样简单。在全球范围内，每年约有 10 到 23% 的农作物因真菌感染而损失。

“我们讨论的是在通过保护作物来保障粮食安全，与为人类保留关键药物之间寻求平衡，”阿姆斯特朗-詹姆斯教授说。

去年，他是向议会关于抗微生物耐药性调查提交信函的 130 位专家之一，他在信中警告称，英国落后于其他已建立特定框架来评估此类风险的国家。

Ipflufenquin 被用于加拿大、澳大利亚、美国和日本的苹果、梨和杏仁等作物，目前正等待欧盟批准。虽然它在英国尚未使用，但丹宁教授认为，耐药真菌“极有可能”会传到这里。

“有必要保护粮食资源——挑战在于，许多此类杀菌剂被用于特种作物，”他说。“你会思考这其中的权衡：是选择杏仁或杏仁奶，还是选择那些因无法治疗的真菌感染而濒临死亡的患者。”

动物魔力

林赛在过去六年里一直患有慢性胸部感染。

她说：“每天早晨我都禁不住在想，这会是我最后一天吗？我还能看到圣诞节，以及它给诺亚带来的快乐吗？”她问道。

她的症状，如记忆力减退和极度疲劳，意味着她不得不放弃照顾残疾成年人的护理工作。她说：“以前我

本周：美西螈（Axolotl salamander）

得益于美国韦克森林大学研究人员的一项突破性基因发现，再生人类肢体可能成为一种可能性。

在对美西螈（能够再生肢体和部分器官）和斑马鱼（能够再生尾鳍和其他器官）的研究中，研究人员发现再生组织触发了两个基因：SP6 和 SP8。当他们从美西螈的基因中移除 SP8 时，它们无法再生肢体骨骼。随后，研究人员开发了一种由 SP8 激活的分子，该分子不仅引导了骨骼再生，还恢复了部分因缺失 SP 基因而丧失的再生能力。研究人员希望这种机制可以在人类身上被模仿。

生物如何助力医学突破

另外，林赛担心孕妇的疾病被忽视——她觉得自己的胸部感染被轻视了。“我确信，如果我没有那些并发症，这次（真菌感染）本可以避免的。”

与此同时，她在看到自己“体贴可爱”的儿子茁壮成长时感到非常欣慰，并补充道：“我很想看到诺亚长大成人后的样子。”

“在医疗保健领域工作的人应该始终具备意识、理解力和耐心。”

使用 Collagen Prime 霜，告别关节疼痛！

良好的关节健康必须拥有胶原蛋白

关节炎？关节疼痛或炎症？试试 Prime Cream，绝对值得尝试！

胶原蛋白是人体内最丰富的天然蛋白质，约占身体的 $33\%$。它存在于骨骼、关节、肌肉和其他类型的结缔组织中。随着年龄的增长，身体产生胶原蛋白的速度会减慢甚至停止。事实上，有一种观点认为，如果你超过 30岁，你的身体就无法再自行产生胶原蛋白。我们需要胶原蛋白来维持关节健康、身体韧性以及从受伤中恢复的能力。人体每年流失 1.5%，因此到 60岁时，我们已经流失了 60% 以上！

关节健康解决方案

现在，Collagen Prime Cream 提供了一个全新的解决方案。它独特地结合了 16 种全天然成分——包括 3 种不同类型的胶原蛋白、氨基葡萄糖、芦荟以及维生素 A、D 和 E——你很快就会发现为什么 Collagen Prime Cream 比市面上任何其他产品都更好。事实上，超过 97.3% 的试用者在两周或更短时间内看到了显著成效。

凭借 90 天退款试用，我能够亲自尝试并发现它有多好，而且没有任何风险，它超出了我的所有预期，我强烈推荐它，性价比极高！”——约翰 M.，沃里克

雄心勃勃的项目

《DIY SOS》，晚上 8 点，BBC1

这是该节目历史上最令人生畏的改造工程之一，其核心目标是让丹尼尔回家。三年前，他在接受脑瘤手术时中风，家庭住宅已不再适合他居住。母亲朱莉（图中与丹尼尔在一起）目前与他一起住在 50 英里外的医院宿舍中，

远离丈夫奈杰尔和另外两个孩子，这种令人悲伤的局面使整个家庭陷入分裂。他们那栋两居室的平房需要被改造成为一个适合五人居住且轮椅友好的家，但这是一项极其艰巨的任务，意味着必须在短短一天内完成扩建并更换新屋顶。是的，你没读错，而且是的，节目中会出现一些经过精心剪辑的脏话。但这个家庭值得这样的雄心之作。

约翰·辛普森 —— 在 BBC 的六十年，晚上 9 点，BBC2

---

BBC1

“我在 BBC 工作的时间比大多数人的婚姻年限还要长。”约翰·辛普森（如图）回顾了他的广播事业以及他所见证的重大变革，从 1979 年的伊朗革命，到福克兰群岛危机和 20 世纪 80 年代的柏林墙倒塌，再到当代的“假新闻”兴起。他还回忆了与世界上一些最具影响力且最臭名昭著的人物的接触，包括纳尔逊·曼德拉和萨达姆·侯赛因。作为历史的见证者，辛普森在这里的新闻回忆中穿插了个人见解，例如玛格丽特·撒切尔对“高个子年轻男性”的偏好，他认为这给了他一定的优势。但在 1982 年的贝鲁特，他并没有这种优势，他回忆起被折磨的经历是一次“极度恐怖的体验”——且看他后来是如何反击的。这次经历以及其他几次与死亡擦肩而过的瞬间，深刻提醒人们像约翰这样的记者在动荡国家报道危险事件展开时所面临的风险。正如你所预料的，他对雇主忠诚，但同时也反思了 BBC 现在及未来面临的挑战。

▲ 特别容易引起反感

我的天呐！你绝不敢招惹这个阴森的朗格约翰·西尔弗

女性的眼中闪烁着冷酷的野心。

通常任何假装成海盗的人听起来都像 The Wurzels 乐队的开场表演，原因在于在 1950 年电影《宝岛》中饰演朗格约翰·西尔弗的罗伯特·牛顿来自康沃尔。

他成为了西尔弗的定义性形象，这相当是一项成就，因为没有人用西国家地区的口音说话时听起来既邪恶又具有威胁性。想象一下达斯·维达如果用演员大卫·普劳斯原始的布里斯托口音说话，你就会明白我的意思。

在派拉蒙版本的《宝岛》中，西尔弗由极其可靠的大卫·奥耶洛沃饰演，他的外貌和行为看起来就像为了这个角色在传统的海盗船上生活了三年。这个西尔弗说着加勒比口音，你真的不想招惹他。

甚至他的微笑也带着一种潜在的威胁感——就像一个刚刚听说瘟疫即将爆发的殡葬业者。

当他来到“本波船长”酒吧寻找他的

迈克尔的菜单：迈克尔·帕林在旅途中总能找到具有挑战性的食物。在《迈克尔·帕林在菲律宾》（Channel 5）的最后一集中，他尝试了榴莲，一种闻起来像臭鸡蛋的水果。他的评价是：“像在吃沙发。”面对这样的措辞，现在招募他加入《顶级厨师》（MasterChef）是否太晚了？

船友比利·博恩斯时，你可以感受到他拄着木腿走进门时的恐惧感。

对于一个独腿男人来说，他在击退一群武装民兵时并没有遇到太多困难。我无法准确说出他击败了多少人，因为酒吧里相当暗。

第一集中相当多的动作戏发生在昏暗的灯光下。理论上，这营造了一种黑暗和恐怖的氛围。实际上，这只是让人很难看清发生了什么。

剧本对罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森的原著进行了一些改编。也许最大的改变——而且相当聪明的一点——是年轻的吉姆·霍金斯成了一个青少年“记忆先生”表演者。如果 18 世纪有英国版《好声音》（Britain’s Got Talent），西蒙·考威尔一定会露出他那副“惊讶”的表情。

酒吧由他阴险且有野心的母亲贝丝经营，由海莉·阿特维尔饰演，并且是

罗兰·怀特周末电视推荐

《宝岛》（Paramount+） ★★★★☆

据称并非一项盈利事业。（这很奇怪，因为每次摄像机拍摄时，那里似乎都挤满了人）。

为了赚钱，她与顾客打赌，赌吉姆不能完美地背诵出由其中一人挑选的圣经页面。而吉姆只需看一眼就能一字不差地背出。

在原著中，霍金斯夫人留在家里，而吉姆则出发寻找宝藏和冒险。在这个版本中，她是驱动力。有时她让我想起维多利亚·贝克汉姆——两人都

霍金斯夫人利用了一个迷人寡妇所能利用的所有武器。而且事实证明，她使用手枪和剑也相当熟练。

《宝岛》动作密集且非常耐看。我真的只有一个严重的抱怨：那只鹦鹉什么时候才能有台词？

泰森，NETFLIX

“你战斗的方式就是你生活的方式，”迈克·泰森在这部四集的人物传记中说道，这部作品感觉像是在尝试澄清事实。在回顾他在布鲁克林艰苦的成长经历（“我曾在这些街道上抢劫”）、发现他的初恋（鸽子）以及教练卡斯·达马托的影响时，他用“鲁莽”来描述自己的方式。“他清理了一个肮脏的思想并使其变得更好，”泰森在反思那个毫不妥协的达马托时说道，达马托在泰森 19 岁时去世。控制在这里是一个巨大的主题。

犯罪调查 斯泰西·杜利：《坠落的女性》，晚上9点，BBC3 / 晚上10.40点，BBC1

斯泰西·杜利（STACEY Dooley）调查了处于虐待关系中且死于高处坠落的女性人数令人担忧的现象。在过去五年中，发生了31起此类事件。这些真的是不幸的事故或自杀，还是她们被推下去的？而凶手是否逃脱了谋杀罪的制裁？通过采访幸存者珍宁（Janine）——她曾被推下楼梯扶手坠落超过15英尺，虽幸存但留下了改变生活的伤残——以及悲痛的家属、警方和专家，斯泰西得出结论：某些危险信号不应被忽视。

当纪录片探讨他的母亲、妻子罗宾·吉文斯（Robin Givens）的影响以及泰森控制情绪的方式时，这个问题再次出现。早期的陪练伙伴伦诺克斯·刘易斯（Lennox Lewis）回忆起与泰森陪练时那种“杰基尔与海德”般的体验：在拳击场内面对的是凶残的泰森，而场外则与温和版的他相处。该系列还涉及吉文斯对其暴力行为的指控，以及他于1992年因强奸罪被定罪。或许最大的惊喜是特朗普总统的出现，他因在1980年代参与拳击运动而接受了采访。

ALEX GRAHAM LIMITED

白羊座 3月 21 - 4月 20

今天你将收到一份邀请，让你选择加入某些你可能从未想象过会为自己选择的事情。凭直觉拒绝是很简单的。但有时，只有在尝试了足够多不想要的东西之后，你才能知道自己真正想要什么。如果你今天能让好奇心战胜恐惧，就有机会让自己感到惊喜。对一次陌生的体验说“是”，至少能让你清楚地知道自己想要什么。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0301\*

金牛座 4月 21 - 5月 21

不仅是美，实用性同样取决于观察者的眼光。大多数家庭都有一种出乎意料地变得不可或缺的小工具或古怪装置。今天提醒你，你认为自己想要的与真正对你有益的东西可能是截然不同的。你可能正在权衡一个与你的计划不符的提议。尽量不要因为它不在最初的构想之中就将其否决。有时，生活中最好的事物无需订购便会到来。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0302\*

询问一群人想在哪里吃饭，几乎每个人都会说没关系。然后，当然，半桌的人最终会感到失望。为什么表达个人偏好如此困难？对某些人来说，这源于一种觉得自己影响力过大的感觉。代表他人做出决定的责任是一件大事——你认真对待它是正确的。今天不要回避表达你的想法。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0303\*

许多人难以领悟。你意识到悲伤与出人意料的幽默时刻往往源自同一事件。细微的差别是一种后天习得的品味，并非每个人都能承受。它来自经验的智慧。你今天正在重新审视某些温柔的事物。不要急于跳过那些重新浮现的记忆。

杰米玛·凯纳 (JEMIMA CAINER)

谨慎对待自己的愿望是明智的。随着天蝎座的月亮与狮子座扩张的木星形成刑相，欲望的问题在今天被清晰地聚焦。我们如何知道自己真正想要什么？木星承诺丰盈，但这种紧张的角度可能会使其

悲伤与喜悦可以共存；你足够强大，能够同时承受两者。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0304\*

狮子座 7月24日 - 8月23日 导演一场幼儿学校的演出绝非易事。在必须做出艰难决定时，记住那句格言“没有小角色”是有用的。你早已过了参加圣诞剧表演的年纪，但这对于你今天处理的一件事来说仍然是恰当的建议。一个机会可能会来到你身边，但它可能并非你心中预想的主角角色。感到失望是可以理解的。但如果将其摒弃，则有忽视它能为你带来什么的风险。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0305\*

经常令人沮丧。仅仅因为你今天没有表现出内心的恼怒，并不意味着它不重要。人们很容易假设，如果一个机会花了这么长时间才到来，那它一定是次优选择。事实未必如此。时机有其自身的逻辑，而且一直以来可能有人在为你争取。一些积极的事情现在正在到来，而且理由充分。你值得一个快乐的结果。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0306\*

很难区分暂时的渴望与真正的向往。机会向我们敞开，但它们可能要求以信念作为回报。今天将奖赏那些足够勇敢地将问题转化为积极成果的人。

天秤座 9月24日 - 10月23日 一个富有创意的商店橱窗展示旨在让你想要里面的东西。但最令人失望的莫过于走进店里发现，你已经看过了其中最好的部分。你在哪里过度思考了初步的呈现，而忽略了对后续内容的足够考虑？有些东西从外面看可能很光鲜，但一旦靠近，感觉则截然不同。今天，透过表面观察具有价值。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0307\*

天蝎座 10月24日 - 11月22日 渴望痊愈的愿望，并不等同于愿意感受在过程中必须经历的痛苦。今天你正在处理一个留有疤痕的过去之伤。关于你的经历，你讲述的故事。时间能治愈所有创伤，但并不总是能抹去痕迹。痛苦的事件往往成为伟大的老师，但它们不会无限期地决定叙事方向。在接下来的章节中，你有选择权。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0308\*

射手座 11月23日 - 12月21日

即使是最好的廉价商品也有其代价。人们很容易仅仅因为某样东西性价比高而选择它，而不是因为它正是你真正想要的。

今天你可能会被某个优惠吸引，因为它看起来太划算而不能错过。在决定之前请先停下来思考。选择真正能让你满足的事物，比收集那些在纸面上看起来令人印象深刻但仍让你渴望真正成就感的东西要好得多。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0309\*

•不再具有意义的事情，虽然坚持下去看起来很有纪律性，但这并不是一种令人满意的方法。在潜能的光芒消退后依然死守某件事，可能会引发怨恨。你的坚定是你的最佳品质之一，或许只有你的智慧能与之媲美。今天请你重新审视一段时间前设定的一个目标。这仍然是你想要的东西吗？修改计划并不丢人。你可以改变主意。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0310\*

水瓶座 1月 21日 - 2月 19日

打破旧习惯并不容易。但有时，意识到事情已经发生了足够大的变化而需要重新考虑，是为更契合的事物创造空间的最佳方式。你是否仍在支持一项曾经让你热情四射、但现在开始感觉像是一种义务的事业？今天请问问你自己想要什么，而不是你认为你应该想要什么。让自己自由，将精力投入到能产生真正影响的地方。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0311\*

每一朵乌云都有一道银边，尽管有时在黑暗中需要一段时间才能发现它。像你这样由海王星主宰的双鱼座，非常擅长在逆境中寻找意义。今天的天蝎座月亮增强了你的直觉，支持你从每个人都认为是问题的事情中抓住积极的一面。你不需要修复所有问题来改善糟糕的局面。相信你已经在灰色之中瞥见的价值。对爱情、事业或人生选择感到好奇？获取个性化指导——请致电 0905 789 0312\*

今日诗篇：时间

你机械地重复着生活的动作，

行走，交谈，微笑，

勉强地操持着洗涤与清扫，

偶尔，还会吃上一口饭。

就这样，就这样我们继续

上演着一场毫无意义的闹剧，

在脆弱的表象背后

掩盖着深坑与瓦砾。

人们说，时间是治愈之药，

他们甚至相信自己的话，

但时间引领着通往未来的路，

而我，只想要昨天。

欧洲病夫

正如亚历克斯·布鲁默（Alex Brummer）上周在《每日邮报》中专业地概述的那样，欧盟的经济状况极其糟糕。

法国的债务高达 GDP 的 120%，已处于绝境。意大利的债务率为 140%，而西班牙的好日子已经结束。

德国再也无法救助这些烂摊子，因为其自身的经济也在衰退，且欧洲央行没有空间来资助复苏。

不，伯纳姆先生。当我们同样债台高筑且毫无增长时，我们负担不起重新加入这个群体。这就像两个醉汉试图互相搀扶。我们必须专注于自身的复苏，利用我们的政治自由来实现这一点，并集中精力发展国际贸易。

失去手足

神经科学家玛丽-弗朗西丝·奥康纳（Dr Mary-Frances O'Connor）博士在与哈里王子共同制作的在线课程《重新定义悲伤》（Redefining Grief）中的一些话令我深受触动。她说：“你的大脑不会将你所爱的人登记为‘已离世’，而是将其登记为‘丢失’，并且会不断地寻找。”

我的哥哥约翰在 1982 年死于肉瘤，因此我深切体会到这一见解的真实性。我也为阿曼达·普拉特尔（Amanda Platell）在《每日邮报》上撰写的关于失去哥哥的感人文章而鼓掌。

正如斯宾塞伯爵在其新书中所言，当你失去一个手足时，“你永远无法走出阴影”。

绝望之举

凯米·巴德诺克（Kemi Badenoch）在保守党会议的演讲中提到伯纳姆会议的主题“再次希望”（Hope Again），并表示“希望并不是一种战略”。

正如《唐顿庄园》中的格兰瑟姆伯爵夫人曾评论道：“希望是一种戏弄，旨在防止我们接受现实。”

在关于“飙车少年”的调查中（见《每日邮报》），米米·耶茨（Mimi Yates）没有提到他们的保险单。

这听起来可能很枯燥，但任何保险单的条款都会规定，对车辆的改装可能会导致保险失效。因此，那些进行“漂移”和原地打转的赛车手表面上看起来有保险，但一旦发生事故，保险将无法生效。

最好不要被他们撞到。

职场之恋

读到关于《比赛日》（Match Of The Day）主持人马克·查普曼（Mark Chapman）和凯莉·凯茨（Kelly Cates）关系的报道（见《每日邮报》）时，我想起了我在 20 世纪 80 年代在 BBC 旧的白城总部工作时的往事。

我和一名同事（当时我们都单身，没有感情负担）秘密地发展了友谊，随后我们公开了关系并订婚。

有一天在电梯里，巴里·克赖尔（Barry Cryer）祝贺了我，但评论道：“这不是个好主意，谢拉（Shelagh）。给你个警告：在 BBC，地下情是被容忍的，但一旦公开就不同了！”

尽管没有人明说，而且迈克尔·帕金森（Michael Parkinson）还参加了我们的庆祝酒会，但我后来还是被调到了另一个部门。

祝马克和凯莉好运。希望现在的 BBC 能更开明一些。

绞刑犯

关于“半吊子玛吉”的来信让我想起了约翰·“巴巴科姆”·李（John ‘Babbacombe’ Lee）的故事。

1885 年，李因在托基（Torquay）附近的巴巴科姆湾其雇主家中将其谋杀而被定罪，并被判处死刑。

人们尝试将其绞死三次，但每次陷门都失效了。

是红利还是哑炮

两名读者（见读者信件）声称安迪·伯纳姆正被证明是英国历史上最糟糕的首相。显然并非所有人都同意这个结论，因为根据 YouGov 的一项民调，他的领导使得工党领先其最接近的竞争对手改革英国党（Reform UK）五个百分点。

恐伊斯兰症？

读到罗伯特·詹里克（Robert Jenrick）因其对伊斯兰教的言论而被举报至警方并被移交给“预防计划”（Prevent）的消息，真是耐人寻味。

如果那些向警方和“预防计划”举报他人的人无法做出公正的判断，并且浪费政府部门的时间，那么或许这些举报者本身才需要被调查。

詹里克先生难道不是在行使他的言论自由吗？还是说，这项权利已经悄悄被取消了？

太热衷于申领 ADHD 和自闭症诊断？

被贴上白日梦者的标签：爱因斯坦

政府委托的关于 ADHD（注意缺陷多动障碍）和自闭症的报告强调了可能存在过度诊断及其后果的问题，例如错误的标签化和不必要的医疗干预。现在看来，儿童和成年人都在积极寻求 诊断带来的好处，例如考试时的额外时间以及 PIP（个人独立支付）补贴。注意力不集中、冲动和缺乏耐心可能预示着 ，但许多孩子在学校都会表现出这些行为，尤其是当他们在学业上遇到困难时。同样，那些看起来倾向于白日梦的人可能并没有 。毕竟，包括阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦在内的许多伟大思想家在学校时都被贴上了“白日梦者”的标签。

作为一名退休校长和学校督学，令我感到悲哀的是，我们将一种可能只是不同的学习风格医疗化了。可以认为我们每个人都是神经多样性的，因为没有两个人的学习方式完全相同。学习支持部门和特教教师处于独特的位置，能够识别并希望在那些孩子被贴上“问题儿童”标签之前，为真正需要帮助的孩子提供支持。

值得注意的是，申领 或自闭症的人数激增与对智能手机的过度依赖呈正相关。随着学校意识到这一事实，教师们报告称课堂上的注意力得到了显著提高。

帕特里夏·诺斯（PATRICIA NORTH），牛津郡，阿宾登

作为一名从事特殊教育需求儿童教学超过 30 年的教师，我对被诊断为自闭症或 的人数感到震惊。我见过太多案例，家长向心理学家支付巨额私人费用，而心理学家总是给出家长预期的阳性结果。随后，残疾补贴和考试额外时间便被发放。除非这种不正之风停止，否则这些孩子一生都会觉得自己是残疾人。

安·托马斯（ANN THOMAS），西米德兰兹郡，索利哈尔

我们对反复出现的“太多人被诊断为自闭症”的说法深感担忧，而报告本身就反驳了这一点。报告明确指出，更多的人获得诊断是因为我们已经能够更好地识别和诊断自闭症。对于自闭症患者所经历的真实伤害和痛苦，诊断往往是获得帮助和支持的唯一途径。审查报告还指出：“问题在于一个无法跟上诊断需求速度的系统，同时又过于依赖将诊断作为获得任何帮助的唯一途径。”

获得诊断绝非易事，等待时间可能长达数年。人们在需要时应当获得支持，而这只有通过持续的投资和扩大 NHS（国民医疗服务体系）的人员能力才能实现。

特朗普的柴油交易简直是真正的耻辱

继去年唐纳德·特朗普对泽连斯基总统采取令人震惊的对待之后，这位前总统决定减轻对普京杀人政权的制裁，以便向市场释放柴油，这完全抛弃了体面。

普京把特朗普当成提线木偶一样操纵。我在乌克兰的朋友以及我在英国认识的难民们理所当然地会感到被辜负。

在这次背叛之后，所有支持乌克兰的人都很难不认为美国不再是我们的朋友。

保罗·巴特莱特（PAUL BARTLETT），

白金汉郡，斯通尼斯特拉特福德

唐纳德·特朗普通过他与克里姆林宫最近的一笔肮脏交易，给西方在乌克兰问题上的团结狠狠地抡了一锤。也许泽连斯基会被告知停止攻击俄罗斯炼油厂，因为那会损害美国利益。尽管有林赛·格雷厄姆（Lindsey Graham）的制裁立法，但俄罗斯柴油的出口条款已达成一致。考虑到通货膨胀，现在的30块钱银子值多少钱？而且可以用加密货币支付吗？

约翰·巴里（JOHN BARRY），维勒尔，比肯黑德

我与特雷弗·利特尔顿（Trevor Lyttleton，见读者信函）一样，对缺乏关于乌克兰的讨论感到极度绝望。绝望的乌克兰人民所展现的勇气让整个欧洲感到羞愧。而我们身在何处？在普京随着严冬天气开始而推进时，我们仍然在观望。特雷弗建议召集亿万富翁向支持乌克兰的自愿基金捐款。为什么不更进一步让公众捐款？我愿意尽我所能地捐赠。特雷弗，建立你的捐款页面吧，因为没有哪个政治家会这么做的。

路易王的纪录统治

皇家风范：法国路易十四国王的肖像，约 1700 年

读者问答

问题：欧洲在位时间最长的君主是谁？

就主权国家君主的连续在位时间而言，这一头衔属于法国的路易十四国王，他于 1638 年出生于路易十三国王与奥地利的安妮之间。

当路易还不满五岁时，他的父亲去世了，他成为了国王，由其母亲担任摄政。但到 1661 年，在他 22岁时，随着首席大臣马扎然在当年 3 月去世，他掌握了绝对权力。

1660 年，他迎娶了西班牙的玛丽亚·特蕾莎公主，但他的私生活主要由三位情妇主导：曼特农夫人、蒙特斯潘夫人和拉瓦利埃夫人。据信，在妻子于 1683 年去世后，他秘密迎娶了曼特农夫人。

路易十四的统治见证了法国成为欧洲领先强国，并通过一系列战争扩张了法国领土。

他还策划将凡尔赛宫从一座简陋的狩猎小屋改造为我们今天所熟知的宏伟宫殿，并将其作为政府中心。

此外，他的时代在艺术、建筑和文学方面取得了重大文化成就，使路易赢得了“太阳王”的称号。

他与玛丽亚·特蕾莎育有六个合法子女，但在晚年，他失去了唯一的儿子——大太子（le Grand Dauphin）以及他的孙子——勃艮第公爵路易（le Petit Dauphin，小太子）。因此，他的继任者是五岁大的曾孙，即路易十五。

路易十四于 1715年去世，享年 76 岁，在位 72 年 110 天——这不仅是欧洲，而且是全球最长的在位时间。

我们已故的伊丽莎白二世女王是全球第二长寿的君主，也是英国在位时间最长的君主，在位 70 年 214 天。

问答环节

问：我们知道三明治据报道是由三明治勋爵发明的，但涂黄油面包的做法是什么时候以及为什么引入的？

G. J. Musson, Claydon, Suffolk

问：为什么英格兰橄榄球队和足球队在国际比赛前会唱《天佑国王》，而英格兰田径队在颁奖仪式升旗时却唱《耶路撒冷》？

S. Crawley, Neath, South Wales

问：“it’s all gone haywire”（全乱套了）这个短语的起源是什么？

M. Andrews, Uckfield, E. Sussex

问题：有人在海上遇难后生存的最长时间是多少？

虽然从传统意义上讲这不是一次海难，但据记载，在海上漂流生存时间最长的人被认为是何塞·萨尔瓦多·阿尔瓦伦加（Jose Salvador Alvarenga）。他是一名萨尔瓦多渔民，在2012年11月至2014年1月期间，在太平洋中漂流了438天。

阿尔瓦伦加与一名年轻的船员埃塞基尔·科尔多瓦（Ezequiel Cordoba）一起从墨西哥太平洋海岸出发，原计划是一次短途捕鱼之旅。离开海岸后不久，他们的小船遭遇风暴，导致发动机损坏且大部分设备被毁，使他们无法导航或寻求帮助。

两人通过捕捉鱼类、海龟、海鸟甚至小型鲨鱼（他们将其生吃）以及收集雨水饮用而生存下来。科尔多瓦后来病逝，留下阿尔瓦伦加独自一人。

2014年1月30日，在漂流约6,700英里后，阿尔瓦伦加被冲上了马绍尔群岛的埃邦环礁（Ebon Atoll）。尽管最初人们持怀疑态度，但调查发现他的描述与洋流、天气记录以及他被发现时的状态是一致的。

提问：在北方是否有一个真实的唐宁街，可以让安迪·伯纳姆将其作为基地？

针对之前的回答，事实上在英格兰中部有两个唐宁街——一个在海尔索温（Halesowen），另一个在斯梅斯威克（Smethwick）。我以前在去办公室的路上经常开车经过斯梅斯威克的唐宁街10号。

雷米·霍迪斯特（Remi Hodister），斯塔福德郡比尔斯顿

在第二次世界大战中，但为什么这个巨大的奖赏没有被入侵？仅靠瑞士的中立地位并不能保证其安全。毕竟，包括挪威、比利时和荷兰在内的几个中立国家在第二次世界大战期间都被纳粹德国入侵了。

历史学家认为，瑞士之所以避免被入侵，是因为从德国的角度来看，成本和风险超过了可能的收益。

瑞士的地形以山脉、狭窄的山谷和有限的运输路线为主，这使得任何军事行动都变得困难且成本潜在高昂。

瑞士军队通过“国家堡垒”（National Redoubt）战略强化了这一自然优势。一旦遭到入侵，瑞士军队计划撤退到防御森严的阿尔卑斯山据点，摧毁关键的隧道、桥梁和铁路，并继续在山中作战。德国或许能占领大部分低地，但要确保战略上至关重要的阿尔卑斯山口和运输链路将困难得多。

瑞士在经济上对德国也很有用。瑞士的银行、制造商和贸易网络在战争中充当了金融和商业中介。因此，只要瑞士在经济事务上保持足够的合作，柏林就可以在不承担占领成本和风险的情况下获得其想要的优势。

£180bn收购狂潮冲击英国股市

财政大臣被敦促要为伦敦股市“注入强心剂”，因为该市场正处于一场£180bn收购狂潮的冲击之中。

在预算案发布前的一份报告中，城市经纪公司 Peel Hunt 向约翰·希利（John Healey）警示了涉及英国上市公司的并购（M&A）活动正处于“前所未有的速度”。

该公司研究主管查尔斯·霍尔（Charles Hall）指出，自2023年初以来，已发生166起收购案，总价值达1800亿英镑，其中今年迄今为止的交易额为740亿英镑。

今年被瞄准的目标包括易捷航空（easyJet）、仓库巨头 Segro、伦敦劳合社保险公司 Beazley、金融机构施罗德（Schroders）以及配料制造商 Tate & Lyle。然而，自2023年初以来，通过所谓的首次公开募股（IPO）进行的新上市仅有11起，价值60亿英镑。

与此同时，包括 Paddy Power 母公司 Flutter 和旅游巨头 Tui 在内的公司已退出伦敦市场，转而投向纽约和欧洲的竞争交易所。

“如果说英国在留住公司和吸引新上市方面存在问题，那将是非常轻描淡写的说法，”霍尔表示。

“针对英国公司的收购数量和价值正处于异常高水平，这引发了人们对英国股票市场出现实质性‘人口流失’的担忧。2026, 迄今为止，IPO 严重匮乏，尽管目前的储备情况看起来更令人鼓舞。”

他提到了近期支付公司 Airtel Money（被称为“非洲的 Revolut”）价值£5.3bn的上市，这是伦敦五年来规模最大的 IPO。

霍尔一直致力于推动加强英国股市的改革，他呼吁对投资英国公司以及在英国上市的企业提供税收优惠。

“好消息是，为英国股票市场注入强心剂并不困难，而且可以快速完成，”霍尔说。

“有多种杠杆可以产生实际效果。重要的是，这些措施应该能带来更多税收，加速经济增长，增加创新，并改善养老金和储蓄。”

他呼吁取消股票交易的印花税，认为这将“提供强有力的经济回报，因为它将消除摩擦并增强英国的竞争力”。

他补充道：“对于英国投资者来说，购买英国公司股票的交易成本高于购买美国企业股票，这毫无道理。”

投资者在购买伦敦上市股票时必须支付 0.5% 的税款，但在购买海外股票时则没有此类征收。伦敦证券交易所首席执行官朱莉娅·霍格特（Julia Hoggett）上周称其为一种“有害的税收”。

IMF警告：AI“海啸”将抹杀年轻人就业机会

作者：Hugo Duncan

国际货币基金组织（IMF）负责人警告称，人工智能是一场“缓慢移动的海啸”，将抹杀全球范围内的就业岗位，并摧毁年轻人的机会。

在基金组织于曼谷举行的年度会议开幕式上，克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃（Kristalina Georgieva）表示，最终约 40pc 的所有工作岗位将被人工智能“增强、降级或消除”。

她说：“这是一场缓慢移动的海啸，但它依然是一场海啸。”

“它是一项变革性技术，它彻底改变了我们的工作方式和生活方式。”

“无论热爱它、厌恶它还是恐惧它，它已经到来，而且我们已经看到了第一波影响。”

格奥尔基耶娃警告称，如果入门级工作被抹杀，年轻人将承受 AI 繁荣带来的最沉重打击——这将剥夺他们开启职业生涯的机会。

全球四成

冲击

警示：IMF 掌门人克里斯塔利娜·格奥尔基耶娃

“首先且最需要担心的人群，是那些即将进入劳动力市场的年轻人，”她说。

“通常情况下，他们会先从事这些常规的、重复性的工作，然后[晋升]。”

在泰国同一场活动上，新加坡总统塔曼·尚穆加拉特南（Tharman Shanmugaratnam）呼应了她关于 AI 对毕业生影响的警告。

他说：“有一个我们必须尽快解决的特定问题，那就是就业的第一级阶梯，即毕业后的第一份工作，现在需求正在下降。”格奥尔基耶娃补充说，对就业的影响还将波及公共财政，因为所得税是包括英国在内的各国政府的主要收入来源。

英国对年轻人前景的担忧日益增加，目前有近 100 万名 16 和 24 岁的人被归类为 NEETs——即不就业、不教育也不参加培训的人员。

前工党内阁大臣艾伦·米尔本（Alan Milburn）目前正领导一项针对英国青年就业危机的重大审查，他警告称，随着 AI 和自动化威胁入门级岗位，存在出现“迷失的一代”的风险。

他预计将在本月预算案之后公布其报告。

广告大亨马丁·索雷尔爵士（Sir Martin Sorrell）警告称，由于雇佣员工成本上升（包括工党的国民保险费上涨和工人新权利的增加），英国的就业前景受到了打击。

他在向《每日邮报》发出关于英国“招聘人员受限”的警告时表示：“劳工法的变化、雇佣人员的成本以及缺乏灵活性，使得人们在招聘时更加谨慎。随着 AI 的到来，结果就是 AI 将日益取代劳动力。”

但格奥尔基耶娃表示，虽然 AI 对就业和税收收入构成了威胁，但它也触发了投资热潮，使得全球增长维持在 3pc 左右，尽管中东冲突导致能源价格飙升。

……劳动力成本上升限制入门级岗位

作者：Hugo Duncan

企业领袖警告称，雇佣成本的上升正在打击年轻人的就业机会，并阻碍生活水平的提高。

在的一份严厉报告中，英国工业联合会（CBI）表示，仅有 15pc 的公司对招聘员工充满信心，低于一年前的 24pc。

老板们将此归咎于劳动力成本的上升，而这主要是由最低工资上涨和 250亿英镑 的国民保险税抢夺所驱动的。

他们还指出了工党改革带来的繁文缛节，这些改革以牺牲企业为代价赋予工人新权利。CBI 的调查发现，73pc 的雇主将劳动力成本列为就业前景的最大威胁，就业监管以 72pc 位居第二。

---

“生活水平也受到影响”

报告称，招聘规模的缩减“在年轻人身上体现得尤为明显，因为劳动力成本的上升使得企业在创造入门级岗位方面的空间减少”。

近三分之二的企业，或 65.3pc，表示在过去五年中，英国已成为一个吸引力较低的商业场所。

英国工业联合会（CBI）首席执行官雷恩·牛顿-史密斯（Rain Newton-Smith）表示：“更高的雇佣成本和日益增长的监管压力正使企业在招聘和投资方面变得更加谨慎。这不仅影响企业，还影响生活水平，尤其是那些试图在职业阶梯上迈出第一步的年轻人。”

“这种情况并非不可逆转。政府可以利用即将出台的预算案来重建信心。”

世界的错误方向

当国际货币基金组织（IMF）和世界银行上一次于1991年在曼谷举行年度会议时，世界处于一个截然不同的状态。

泰国首都已繁荣成为一座大都市，数十座玻璃钢结构大厦直插云霄。

然而，在街道层面，情况似乎几乎没有改变，依然有食品摊位、向你招手的开放式酒吧以及数以十计的泰式按摩店。

35年前我抵达这里时，立刻被一份新闻稿吸引，该稿宣布鲍里斯·叶利钦领导的俄罗斯已申请加入IMF的自由市场资本主义堡垒。

随后的许多会议都关注基金组织和西方强权将如何筹集资源，以满足俄罗斯、前苏联加盟共和国以及东欧集团国家的现代化需求。

七国集团（G7）工业国家在想到将自由市场理念传播给新皈依者时，流露出一种胜利主义的气氛。

英国将能够从国防中释放资源，并享受“和平红利”。如今生活已发生了巨变。随着英国前国防大臣、现任财政大臣约翰·希利飞抵此处参加一系列快节奏的会议，他心中一定在思考财政研究学会（IFS）最新发布的预算重磅消息。

驻曼谷城市编辑

该机构估计，从现在到本届议会结束，政府将不得不筹集350亿英镑，以支持不断膨胀的福利支出和对北约的军事承诺。

俄罗斯曾被视为需要支持的朋友，那些令人陶醉的日子在2022年未经挑衅入侵乌克兰后宣告结束。它现在是欧洲民主国家的死敌。只有特朗普总统在与克里姆林宫达成一项关于柴油供应的古怪交易后，才给叶利钦的继任者弗拉基米尔·普京留有余地。

世界的其他地区也实现了飞跃。1991年，泰国被列为“亚洲四小虎”之一，增长率高达11%。当时亚洲正处于高速增长期。在中国和印度的推动下，亚洲目前仍是全球增长最快的地区，增速为5%。泰国的增长已常态化至2.25%。在1991年的会议上，泰国政府非常担心基金组织访问期间的交通瘫痪——届时将有12,000名代表和私营部门银行家抵达——以至于宣布了一系列公共假期，旨在让公民远离街道。

交通状况依然像以前一样糟糕，但色彩斑斓的嘟嘟车减少了，而像Grab这样的数字化打车服务则增多了。

在线办公的普及意味着泰国当局在2026年可以命令办公室人员居家办公，以缓解豪华轿车的拥堵。

上一次，西方民主国家（当时G20尚未成立）面临的最大难题是，IMF、世界银行和西方银行体系能否筹集到足够的资本资源，以资助俄罗斯和前东欧集团国家改革并转型为运作良好的现代国家。总部位于伦敦的欧洲复兴开发银行（EBRD）这座光鲜的银行正是为此而设立的。

而今年的会议情况恰恰相反。近期，政府、家庭和金融部门的债务爆发式增长，已达到365万亿美元。

大金融危机后的主权借贷，加上新冠疫情、乌克兰战争以及中东冲突，意味着现在几乎所有G7国家的债务都超过了产出。

英国财政部表示，希利将建议其他财政部长将“财政纪律”置于工作的核心，以控制借贷成本。这话对美国人说就行。周一的《华尔街日报》强调了英国的财政噩梦，指出臃肿的福利账单正危及金融稳定，且英国目前为债务支付的成本“比挥霍无度的法国还要高”。

报纸指出，到本届议会结束时，债务利息支出预计将达到 1300亿英镑。

看来世界并不准备听取工党的任何教诲。

LVMH受时尚与皮革制品销售下滑打击

由于中国市场的困境影响了其复苏进程，LVMH的服装和手袋销售额出现下降。

这家奢侈品巨头——旗下品牌包括酩悦（Moet）、迪奥（Dior）和路易威登（Louis Vuitton），演员赞达亚（Zendaya）是其品牌大使之一（如图）——在截至9月底的三个月里，总销售额仅增长1%，达到156亿英镑。

但其核心时尚与皮革制品部门的销售额下降了5%。LVMH表示，这“反映了中国市场环境活力不足对业务活动产生的影响”，当地富裕购物者正面临税务打击。

在未来几周，包括铂金包制造商爱马仕（Hermes）和古驰（Gucci）所有者开云集团（Kering）在内的公司将发布最新动态，这一消息将加剧人们对奢侈品行业的担忧。

在三年半的时间里市值损失约£240bn后，LVMH一直面临着向投资者证明其正处于复苏之路的压力。

H&M遭遇网络攻击恐慌

H&M正在调查上周被黑客攻击的指控。

这家瑞典时尚巨头正在调查一个名为ShinyHunters的组织，该组织声称是对一起潜在网络安全事件负责。此前，Asos在上周也遭遇了网络攻击。ShinyHunters此前曾声称，它是去年夏天对捷豹路虎（Jaguar Land Rover）发起重大网络攻击的幕后黑手。

一名H&M发言人表示：“我们正在调查这些指控以评估其真实性，到目前为止，没有迹象表明我们的数据环境遭到破坏。”

HMV 将关闭牛津街旗舰店

财政大臣已收到警告，由于商业街正面临成本上升和信心“脆弱”的困境，他在预算案中将面临一项“关键考验”。

今天上午，约翰·希利（John Healey）在唐宁街与行业巨头进行关键会谈，英国零售业联合会（BRC）警告称，进一步的加税将推高价格并导致岗位流失。

该贸易协会表示，截至 9 月的一年里，零售额仅增长了 1.3%，远低于 12 个月前的 2.3% 的增幅。

BRC 首席执行官海伦·迪金森（Helen Dickinson）表示：“财政大臣不能一边承诺减轻生活成本，一边给那些努力维持低价的零售商增加更多成本。”

“在信心脆弱的情况下，这次预算案是一次关键考验。营业率（business rates）的再次上涨将增加价格压力，扼杀商业街的投资，并使当地就业面临风险。这次预算案必须支持零售业进行投资、雇佣和增长，而不是增加难度。”

马莎百货（Marks & Spencer）首席执行官斯图尔特·马钦（Stuart Machin）也敦促希利在 10 月 28 日的预算案中“通过解除企业的枷锁，让英国重新增长”。马钦在周六给《每日邮报》的来信中，将雷切尔·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）领导下的前两次工党预算案称为“一场灾难”。他

HMV 计划关闭其牛津街旗舰店，在重新开业仅三年后便决定关闭，并将原因归咎于房东将租金翻倍。

这家娱乐和音乐连锁店表示，计划

明年 3 月搬离该址，但誓言在寻找西区新店期间，将在伦敦保持“显著的存在感”。

HMV 表示，房东提议将租金翻倍，且公司面临一项“巨额”的装修费用账单，这使得维持营业在“商业上不可持续”。

补充道，希利“应该开始纠正前两次预算案的错误”。

财政大臣今天将在唐宁街 11 号与零售业和酒店业负责人举行会谈。零售商将抵消通胀的最低工资上涨以及企业国民保险缴款的意外增加列为主要难题。中东战争也

HMV 于 1921 年首次在该址开业，曾举办过包括保罗·麦卡特尼爵士（Sir Paul McCartney）和大卫·鲍伊（David Bowie）在内的艺人的演出和签名活动。该店在 2019 年因连锁店进入破产管理程序而关闭，

直到 2023 年 11 月，在同时拥有 Toys R Us 的加拿大商人道格·普特曼（Doug Putman）将其从破产中救出后才重新开业。总经理

总经理菲尔·哈利戴（Phil Halliday）表示：“这是一个特殊的店铺。令人沮丧的是，它在商业上变得不可行。然而，我们的重点是采取令人兴奋的步骤，让 HMV 在 2027 年有所突破。”

史密斯与杜凯特压力倍增

Raw deal：杜凯特仅有一年期合同 GETTY IMAGES

GIBSON

英格兰队将中心合同的球员人数从 30 人增加到 39 人，使英格兰和威尔士板球委员会（ECB）能够在一个包含主场灰烬杯系列赛和单日世界杯的两年周期内，掌控其球星。

英格兰队还正式确定了测试赛主帅斯蒂芬·弗莱明（Stephen Fleming）和白球赛领队布伦登·麦卡勒姆（Brendon McCullum）麾下后勤团队的构成。

在此，《每日邮报》体育版分析关键问题。

---

资金全部来自哪里？

简短的回答是：来自内部。中心合同的资金池规模没有实质性变化，仅随通货膨胀而上涨。

巨大的差异在于人员方面，前测试赛队长本·斯托克斯（Ben Stokes）——其薪水曾达七位数——不再在名单上，同样高薪的扎克·克劳利（Zak Crawley）和马克·伍德（Mark Wood）也不在其中。

这释放了资金，用于覆盖新入选者，以及部分资深球员的级别晋升，以及 9 份发展合同。

发展合同——由 ECB 支付球员郡级合同的 50%，并增加 25% 的薪资涨幅——并非特别丰厚。这更多是双方的一种承诺，旨在让该球员在接下来的 12 个月内被英格兰狮队（England Lions）选中。

---

谁是赢家，谁是输家？

合同期限为1或2年，因此仅给杰米·史密斯（Jamie Smith）和本·达克特（Ben Duckett）每人12个月的合同，表明了他们的地位有所下降。

一年前，两人在三种比赛形式中都占据一席之地。然而，史密斯未被选入二十20世界杯（Twenty20 World Cup），且不再参与白球赛分队；而达克特的状态则令人担忧，这种下滑可以追溯到一次客场灰烬杯（Ashes）系列赛，他在该赛事中的场均得分仅为20分。

英格兰板球总监罗布·基（Rob Key）传递出的信号似乎是：证明你的价值。将他们的合同限制在1年（就像最近回归的奥利·罗宾逊一样），将起到让他们保持饥渴感的作用。

白球赛老将乔斯·巴特勒（Jos Buttler）和阿迪尔·拉希德（Adil Rashid）同样仅获得了12个月的合同——这在很大程度上反映了他们的年龄，分别为36岁和38岁。

在光谱的另一端，乔丹·考克斯（Jordan Cox）、桑尼·贝克（Sonny Baker）和亨利·克罗科姆（Henry Crocombe）——全部年龄在25岁或以下——是获得两年合同的11名球员之一。

这显然更多是基于选拔人员认为他们未来能产生什么样的贡献，而非他们迄今为止的表现。考克斯和贝克在今年的测试赛和白球赛中均有出场，而今年冬天将从萨塞克斯（Sussex）转会至萨里（Surrey）的克罗科姆则尚未获得国家队首秀机会。

---

两名被遗忘者的救命稻草

奥利·波普（Ollie Pope）和肖艾布·巴希尔（Shoaib Bashir）尽管已成为边缘人物，但仍获得了1年合同。波普在斯托克斯（Stokes）受伤期间曾多次担任测试赛队长，他在去年冬天的灰烬杯中被剔除，但被列入了夏季对阵巴基斯坦系列赛的名单。

今天年满23岁的巴希尔，自去年10月获得12个月的中央合同以来，仅在测试赛中出场两次。

然而，英格兰在明年2月访问孟加拉国期间需要旋转球资源，巴希尔的名字可以被列入该任务名单。

随着利亚姆·帕特森-怀特（Liam Patterson-White）、梅森·克雷恩（Mason Crane）和旋转球全能球员詹姆斯·科尔斯（James Coles）获得发展合同，左手慢速投球手杰克·利奇（Jack Leach）恐怕已无回头之路，尽管他在2026年的郡冠军赛（County Championship）中投球场均失分为20，经济率（economy rate）为2.29。

控制快球手的工作量

随着11名快球手获得1或2年的合同，英格兰显然打算在明年夏天的灰烬杯以及2027年秋季在南部非洲举行的50轮世界杯之前，管理好他们的快球资源。

该群体中包括布赖登·卡斯（Brydon Carse），麦卡勒姆（McCullum）最近表示，在8月于德比发生的一起深夜事件导致其被板球监管机构起诉后，卡斯需要“整顿好自己的生活”。

基表示，关于卡斯的可用性没有任何变化，英格兰及威尔士板球委员会（ECB）维持原判，继续履行去年10月授予这位达勒姆（Durham）球员的两年合同剩余期限。

---

教练团队的更新

弗莱明（Fleming）和麦卡勒姆都被赋予了提名自己教练团队的机会，这触发了系统中现有人员的一套新“默认角色”，以及一些新任命。

马库斯·特雷斯科西克（Marcus Trescothick）将成为弗莱明的助手之一，另一位是理查德·道森（Richard Dawson），道森已被格拉摩根（Glamorgan）释放，以便加入ECB。

前英格兰守门员詹姆斯·福斯特（James Foster）在6月新西兰以2-1在测试赛系列赛中击败英格兰期间曾是新西兰随行人员的一员，他现在作为“守门员和接球专家”加入。这意味着去年夏天在所有英格兰队中担任教练的萨拉·泰勒（Sarah Taylor）将仅在麦卡勒姆麾下工作。

测试赛小组由埃里克·西蒙斯（Eric Simons）完成，他是弗莱明在钦奈超级国王队（Chennai Super Kings）中信任的投球教练。英格兰希望，作为前南非队教练，西蒙斯——一位深思熟虑且备受尊敬的人物——能让他们在今年冬天于约翰内斯堡、森图里翁和开普敦举行的测试赛中获得优势。

麦卡勒姆的团队保留了旋转球教练吉坦·帕特尔（Jeetan Patel）、快球专家蒂姆·索西（Tim Southee）和导师凯文·皮特森（Kevin Pietersen）。

LIV球星在最后通牒后遭遇莱德杯打击

如果球员在明年签约加入LIV高尔夫，他们将被禁止参加DP世界巡回赛——以及莱德杯。在之前的赛季中，欧洲巡回赛给予了一些世界顶尖球星有条件的释放，允许他们在两个巡回赛中同时参赛。但DP世界巡回赛首席执行官盖伊·金宁斯（Guy Kinnings）表示，球员现在必须“做出选择”。为了获得欧洲莱德杯队的参赛资格，球员必须是DP世界巡回赛的成员。金宁斯表示：“球员需要做出选择。我们有旨在保护巡回赛的规章制度，所有成员必须遵守。不愿遵守我们规章制度的球员不应寻求加入我们的巡回赛。”由于沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金在赛季末撤回支持，LIV在申请美国破产保护后，其未来前景不明。这一分裂出来的系列赛已获得BC Partners Credit初步承诺的潜在£2.27 亿投资，以帮助明年重新启动。两项巡回赛的截止日期均在下个月，球员将被要求披露他们打算在哪个巡回赛中参赛。诸如乔恩·拉姆（Jon Rahm）、泰瑞尔·海顿（Tyrrell Hatton）、维克多·佩雷斯（Victor Perez）和汤姆·麦基宾（Tom McKibbin）等LIV球员目前根据其成员类别之一，仍有资格在DP世界巡回赛中参赛。拉姆在拒绝接受新条款后准备退出LIV高尔夫，据报道，他签署的近三年前的合同剩余部分仍被欠款高达1.13 亿英镑。

理查森被遣返回国，创造了糟糕的“历史”

---

作者：大卫·肯特 (DAVID KENT)

英国队自行车运动员马修·理查森 (Matthew Richardson) 因涉嫌行为不端，已被从在上海举行的场地自行车世界锦标赛中遣返回国。

理查森在上一届奥运会后将国籍从澳大利亚改为英国。在自称是历史上最快的自行车运动员后，他原本被预期在本周的中国赛事中夺得三枚奖牌。

而现在，他正处于离开这个国家的过程中。

在发给《每日邮报》体育版的一份声明中，英国自行车协会的一位发言人表示：“英国自行车协会可以确认，马特·理查森已被从即将举行的场地自行车世界锦标赛代表队中撤出。”

当《每日邮报》体育版就据信导致其被撤出的行为不端指控进行询问时，该组织表示现阶段不会对此发表进一步评论。

《泰晤士报》报道称，理查森的行为（尤其是对待队友的行为）正受到调查。据称，此次调查是由另一名选手的投诉引发的。

英国自行车协会向《泰晤士报》补充道：“英国自行车协会极其严肃地对待任何关于骚扰、欺凌或歧视的指控。一旦有人提出担忧，我们将进行彻底调查。”

理查森是英国自行车界“金童玉女”的一员。他与英国女子队之星艾玛·菲努凯恩 (Emma Finucane) 处于恋爱关系。他们共同居住在曼彻斯特，自2024年2月起开始交往。

理查森原定为世界锦标赛男子短距离冲刺队四名成员之一。他本应与哈里·莱丁汉姆-霍恩 (Harry Ledingham-Horn)、埃德·洛 (Ed Lowe) 和乔·特鲁曼 (Joe Truman) 一同入选代表队。

理查森在今年早些时候于土耳其科尼亚举行的欧洲锦标赛中赢得了三枚奖牌。

这位27岁的运动员在男子短距离冲刺和竞轮赛中均获得金牌，并与特鲁曼以及哈米什·特恩布尔 (Hamish Turnbull) 在团体短距离冲刺赛中获得银牌。

理查森原定在7月竞轮世界系列赛期间受伤后重返赛场。

上周，理查森表示，在三个月前的一起事故中被对手撞飞并导致无法参加英联邦运动会后，他能行走起来已经很“幸运”了。当时，理查森被日本自行车运动员铃木健人 (Kento Suzuki) 撞出赛道。他肩胛骨骨折且髋部严重淤青，导致四天无法行走。

理查森此前一直希望卫冕他在2022年代表澳大利亚参赛时赢得的冠军，随后他更改了国籍。

这位出生于梅德斯通 (Maidstone) 但在九岁时移居珀斯 (Perth)，并为澳大利亚开创了辉煌场地赛生涯的“叛逃者”，在2024年奥运会上赢得两银一铜后立即宣布转换效忠对象，引起了轰动。

他被澳大利亚队终身禁止重新加入，但他为英国和英格兰开创了令人印象深刻的职业生涯。

Auvaa 在萨拉森队的表现“未达标准”

向俱乐部发送电子邮件告知所发生的事情后，萨拉森队启动了调查。俱乐部迅速采取行动，理由是 Auvaa 在与 Stokes 和 Atkinson 发生冲突后已被禁酒，且处于最后警告期。在之前的事件引发了英国板球界一个夏天的动荡（导致 Stokes 从国际赛场退役）之后，萨拉森队的前英格兰队长杰米·乔治表示 Auvaa “不成熟”，并补充说俱乐部会“照顾他”。

前首相布朗在“驱魔人”转会闹剧中的角色

足球额外报道

作者：迈克尔·帕维特 (MICHAEL PAVITT)

前苏格兰国家队主帅克雷格·莱文 (Craig Levein) 声称，他曾与前首相戈登·布朗 (Gordon Brown) 一起参加了一场驱魔仪式，试图为雷斯罗弗斯队 (Raith Rovers) 签下一名球员。

莱文曾在 2006 年短暂担任雷斯罗弗斯的教练，期间他以非合同形式执掌这支次级联赛球队共七场比赛。

在《Undr the Cosh》播客节目中，莱文透露他是在布朗的劝说下加入的，两人在童年时期都是这家位于法夫 (Fife) 的俱乐部的支持者。

随后他解释了与布朗（当时担任财政大臣）的一次会面是如何变得诡异的，当时两人正试图签下后卫马文·安德鲁斯 (Marvin Andrews)。

安德鲁斯此前曾在该俱乐部效力三年，在被格拉斯哥流浪者队 (Rangers) 解约后成为自由球员。莱文表示，会面地点设在柯卡尔迪 (Kirkcaldy) 的锡安赞美中心 (Zion Praise Centre)，该中心由这位特立尼达和多巴哥后卫的精神导师——乔·诺沃科耶 (Joe Nwokoye) 牧师经营。莱文声称，在等待与安德鲁斯交谈时，他和布朗被迫观看了一场仪式，牧师在仪式中试图将信徒体内的“恶魔驱除”。

“戈登·布朗打电话让我去柯卡尔迪和他见面，”莱文说，“顺便提一句，雷斯罗弗斯当时正试图签下马文·安德鲁斯。于是我开车过去，把车停在停车场，就在那时，三辆路虎揽胜疾速冲进停车场。”

“警灯闪烁，警笛大作，我想：‘搞什么鬼？！’其中一辆车的车窗降了下来，是戈登。他说：‘快跳进我的车，我们要去见马文’，马文那天晚上在教堂工作。”

“我们选择在他们驱魔的那个晚上过去。人们走上舞台，乔牧师把手放在他们的头上，现场响起一阵阵哀嚎声，然后他把他们推开，他们向后倒下。”

“我坐在那里想：‘这到底在搞什么鬼？’我是来见马文的，结果人们四处倒地，大约有六个人躺在地上。那是我经历过的最离奇的一个夜晚。”安德鲁斯在 2006 年 10 月重新签约雷斯罗弗斯时透露，他曾与布朗和莱文进行过谈话，两人一起参加了与他牧师的会面。

“我很高兴能回到斯塔克斯公园球场 (Stark's Park)，但我回来并不是因为戈登·布朗说了什么，”安德鲁斯说，“我的主要决定取决于上帝告诉我什么。我回到这里是因为上帝希望我在这里。很简单。”

“很多俱乐部来找我，但上帝从未对我说话。这里才是上帝希望我所在的地方。”

安德鲁斯曾在 2005 年随流浪者队赢得苏格兰超级联赛冠军，在退役后成为一名基督教传道者。

2017 年，安德鲁斯提出为一座闹鬼的房子进行驱魔，该房子在一年内有五名惊恐的保姆离职。

“灵体有不同的类型，但根据我的经验，任何有问题的情况通常都与撒旦有关，”安德鲁斯当时表示。

“你面对的是魔鬼。在这种情况下，这个灵体具有干扰性，所以它是个问题。”

天蓝色思维铸就时隔25年的胜利

这一次，天蓝色军团的胜利建立在诚实和数十年的坚韧之上——这与24小时前在安菲尔德球场发生的情况截然不同。无论是在球场内还是球场外，考文垂城都不是曼彻斯特城。

在曼彻斯特城通过作弊赢得英超冠军和欧洲冠军的那些年里，考文垂在足球联盟的所有三个级别联赛中徘徊。

他们升入顶级联赛的过程并不怎么体面，而这场本赛季首场主场胜利在某些时刻也并非如此。在很大程度上，它缺乏曼彻斯特城击溃利物浦时那种丝滑与技巧。

但弗兰克·兰帕德的球队拥有不同的特质——而纽卡斯尔在面对那种勤奋、坚毅和集体意志时毫无还手之力。直到第81分钟，考文垂才打入确认其排名升至积分榜第14位的进球；在此之前是一段令人紧张的时期，纽卡斯尔一度威胁要偷走一分，但当进球到来时，它是完全实至名归的。

替补登场的埃利斯·西姆斯在乔林顿出现失误后将球轰入底角，随后，为了进一步确认他们的优势，另一名替补球员斯蒂芬·姆富尼在比赛结束前四分钟打入了一个更精彩的进球。

“你们见过（曼彻斯特）城了，现在滚回家去吧”主场观众齐声高喊，而纽卡斯尔确实就这样做了。他们目前面临的问题比对手更多——首先就是缺乏领导力和身份认同。

甚至在开球之前，这里的氛围就不像是一个在球队重返英超后经历了两场零封失利的球场，现场的喧闹程度足以证明这一点。国际比赛日之前在诺丁汉森林取得的1-0胜利显然恢复了人们的信心。

但没有什么比主场进球更能提升士气——以及分贝——了。在考文垂最后一次在顶级联赛主场进球的25年后，本场比赛仅进行到第6分钟，杰克·鲁多尼就为这一特定追求带来了解脱。

这位中场球员要感谢纽卡斯尔门将卢卡斯·霍尔尼切克，正是对方给了他通过点球打入首个英超进球的机会。当埃夫隆·梅森-克拉克的低射穿过人群进入——随后又脱离——他的掌控时，这位捷克门将看起来像是在抓一块肥皂。霍尔尼切克本该及时止损，但

相反，他追求的是救赎。当他的救险飞扑导致西迪基·谢里夫（Sidiki Cherif）飞身而起并导致对方获得点球时，他的球队很快陷入了被动追分的局面。

上半场剩余时间的比赛质量较低。这种水平更适合周六下午3点的比赛，而非面向“周一足球之夜”（Monday Night Football）的周末后观众。

不过考文垂并不在意。他们错过了几次扩大领先优势的机会——缺乏沉着是他们的败笔——但另一端的情况也是如此，而维持领先始终是兰帕德（Lampard）最关注的问题。

与此同时，马蒂亚斯·雅斯莱（Matthias Jaissle）应该关注的是他身价£5100 万的前锋马蒂亚斯·费尔南德斯-帕尔多（Matias Fernandez-Pardo）。这位年轻的比利时人希望担任前锋，他在上个月同意从里尔加盟时，将这一愿望作为谈判条件的一部分。

然而，他看起来并不像，踢起来也不像一名英超中锋。至少目前还不是。因此，在短期内，主教练需要忽略球员的意愿，在这个关键位置上选择一个更好的方案。

费尔南德斯-帕尔多在半场前的一次单刀机会中，或许有机会证明他在心仪位置上的作用。他之前的动作都做对了——绕过了卡尔·鲁什沃思（Carl Rushworth）——但关键在于，他的临门一脚完全失误，轻飘飘地射向了回防的后卫鲍比·托马斯（Bobby Thomas），球被挡在门前。

少年之击：姆富尼以一记精彩射门锁定胜局 GETTY IMAGES

对于雅斯莱的球队来说，下半场的开局和上半场一样糟糕。米兰·范·埃维克（Milan van Ewijk）的长传界外球被后卫马利克·蒂亚（Malick Thiaw）头球顶到了禁区边缘，而当防守球员试图封堵谢里夫时速度太慢，这位19岁的小将迅速将球轰入底角。

如果这位几分钟后的几内亚少年能展现出同样的果敢，那么考文垂的胜利就几乎可以确定了。然而这一次，在斯文·博特曼（Sven Botman）一次糟糕的解围后，他在远端门柱面对一个更简单的机会时抢射过急，领先优势维持在两球。随后比分变为一球之差——正是博特曼用一记20码外的顶角世界波给了纽卡斯尔一线希望。

西姆斯（Simms）和18岁的姆富尼（Mfuni）很快予以反击，确保了对方的希望极其短暂。你可能会觉得，考文垂在英超的生存时间或许不会那么短暂。

安菲尔德一名警员受伤

在周日安菲尔德球场利物浦与曼城之间一场气氛紧张的冲突后，一名警员在逮捕一名男子时面部受重伤。在曼城被判定违反英超财务规则后的首场比赛中，警方采取了大规模且全面的警务行动，期间共有 10 人被捕。一名警员因面部受伤被送往医院，警方现正呼吁目击者提供线索。默西赛德郡警方在声明中表示：“这些逮捕

其中包括一名涉嫌两项袭击警员罪行的男子被捕，五名涉嫌进行悲剧吟唱（tragedy chanting）的人员被捕，一名涉嫌醉酒扰乱秩序及袭击的人员被捕，两名因斗殴被捕，以及一名涉嫌向球场投掷物品的人员被捕。“下午 6.35pm 左右，在球迷离开体育场时，一名警员在安菲尔德路（Anfield Road）逮捕一名男子期间面部受重伤。该警员被送往医院治疗，目前正在家中康复。警员们正在进行调查，与证人交谈并分析闭路电视（CCTV）和手机拍摄的视频。”首席督察莱安·霍宾（Leanne Hobin）补充道：“警员和安保人员在现场是为了保护公众并确保其安全，一名警员在执行该职责时受重伤，这令人极其失望。”包括演唱关于足球相关灾难的内容在内的悲剧吟唱自 2023 年起已成为一种违法行为。

曼城以 3-0 赢得比赛，延续了他们在英超赛季的完美开局。

曼城在安菲尔德的胜利——以及他们那些自鸣得意且缺乏自知之明的球星——是对体育精神的一种冒犯，令人作呕

曼城主教练恩佐·马雷斯卡及其球员们之间竟然没有哪怕一丁点儿的自知之明，这真是件憾事。

如果他们有自知之明，他们就不会在周日于安菲尔德球场战胜利物浦后，像一群自以为开启了“救赎之旅”的傻瓜那样，毫无掩饰地狂欢庆祝这场空洞的胜利。

真的应该有人告诉他们，无论他们在足球场上多么强势，现在绝不是自鸣得意地庆祝胜利，或者像那些试图弥补过错的球员一样趾高气扬的时候。在接下来的几个月里，错误或许会被纠正，但绝不是由他们来纠正。

曼城所发生的事情，以及笼罩在俱乐部上空的危机，责任不在于球员。我们知道这一点。也不在于球迷。而在于那些认为自己可以随心所欲，现在却对被追究责任感到震惊的所有者。但当你的俱乐部被判定犯有像曼城那样严重且影响深远的罪行时，周日的场景显得非常不体面。

前曼联队长罗伊·基恩在周日表示：“如果我是球员，如果发现有任何不正当交易或有人在做假账，我会感到厌恶。”

“如果我觉得后台有不正当的事情在发生，我就不会觉得我赢得了联赛冠军。我们踢球是因为热爱，但你也必须得有一点诚实。”

事实是，在安菲尔德并没有什么救赎。这个结果并不是曼城的胜利，而是足球的又一次失败。因为这是一群站在骗子肩膀上的球员：这是一支利用俱乐部不义之财建立的球队，其所有者在十年间系统性地做假账以打造一个王朝。事实就如此阴暗。

曼城 3-0 获胜的规模以及他们在下半场出色的表现，在目前我们所知的背景下，仅仅是在提醒人们他们是如何走到今天这一步的：通过比允许的金额多支出 £8.3 亿，从而在英超联赛中获得相对于其他球队的优势。

周日的胜利不过是那笔支出最新的回报。这相当于足球界中的“罪之薪金”。曼城面临的悖论是，他们在本赛季英超联赛中排名榜首的时间越长，人们就越会关注他们在 2009 年至 2018 年间获得的非法优势之持久。

所以，是的，在他们被英超联赛判定犯有绝大多数财务违规指控后的首场比赛中，这场胜利让人感到作呕。

而且，是的，曼城在安菲尔德路看台球迷面前欢庆的场景，感觉就像是那些要么没有羞耻心，要么没有短期记忆的球员所做出的行为。

不可避免地，有些人迅速将曼城的胜利塑造为一场克服重重困难的英雄式胜利。请给我拿个呕吐桶。有些人谈论曼城在安菲尔德克服“逆境”而获胜，仿佛在九年多时间里通过作弊剥夺其他联赛球队的奖杯

空洞：哈兰德（右）和费尔南德斯在安菲尔德庆祝（法新社）

也算作一种“逆境”。

这种叙事旨在试图帮助像天空体育（Sky）这样的广播公司说服自己，他们花费数十亿英镑购买的产品并没有因为曼城的继续存在而失去信誉。

这种叙事是一种拙劣的尝试，试图掩盖这样一个事实：本赛季已经变成了一场没有人知道什么是真实、什么不是真实的运动。

曼城在周日赢得了 3 分，从而重新确立了在榜首 3 分的领先优势吗？或者那只是一个幻象？那仅仅是一次暂时的胜利吗？这次胜利是否会留在历史记录中，直到曼城受到处罚，并且他们所有的比赛结果或许都被宣布无效？

这里发生的情况是，我们被要求尝试忘记我们所知道的事情。我们被要求忘记曼城已被判定在工业规模上实施欺诈。

我们被要求清空记忆，直到曼城的处罚结果被决定，然后我们才能重新启动思考。在此之前，体育运动被重新定义成了闹剧。

如果你想知道周日在安菲尔德是什么感觉：就像是兰斯·阿姆斯特朗被揭露为自行车历史上最大的骗子，而我们却被迫看着他身穿黄色领骑衫，在车群的最前方骑行在香榭丽舍大街上，再次赢得环法自行车赛。

这就像是知道本·约翰逊在1988年首尔奥运会赢得男子100米冠军后，因药物滥用被抓现行，然后却被要求看着他依然被授予金牌。

曼城战胜利物浦的这场胜利是对体育运动的一种侮辱，让你感到恶心。

曼城只想责怪其他人。想玩一场“曼城宾果”游戏吗？准备好。 “红色卡特尔”、“加里·内维尔”、“英超联赛”、“天空电视台”。没完没了。你有没有想过可能是你们自己的问题？因为曼城所遭遇的一切以及他们面临的批评，完全在于他们的所有者。没有其他人。

红色卡特尔？这是关于曼城没落的阴谋论中最令人发笑的一个。财务公平竞争（FFP）和利润与可持续性规则（PSR）是不完美的系统，但认为它们会刻意确保曼联、利物浦和阿森纳等俱乐部的优越地位，简直是笑话。

在过去的22年里，阿森纳只赢得过一次冠军。曼联已经13年没赢过联赛了，且在积分榜上排名第13位。利物浦在过去36年里赢过两次，且仅勉强处于上半区。而据称也参与其中的托特纳姆热刺，在过去两个赛季中分别排名第17位，且处于降级区。所以，没错，红色卡特尔。别逗我了。

如果布莱恩·克劳格还在世，他会告诉这些曼城球员，他们应该把奖牌扔进垃圾桶。而且他可能会向他们指出，当他们周日在安菲尔德获胜时，没有其他人想庆祝。

困惑：昨日训练中的卡里克

路透社

卡里克重返赛场奋力一搏，曼联迎来决定性的一周

---

克里斯·惠勒在马德里报道

迈克尔·卡里克昨晚独自走上了大都会球场的舞台。

莱尼·约罗和曼联的新闻官在他身后几步之遥，让卡里克在最初的几分钟里独自面对这场“审讯”。

这是一个奇怪的场景，但卡里克在独自坐下时并未感到不安。在接下来的24分钟里，他正面回应了曼联本赛季灾难性的开局，以及一个可能具有决定性的关键周——他的球队正处于挣扎之中，且将被置于足球界两个最令人生畏的环境之中。

如果他的球员们能在今晚从马德里竞技的大都会球场全身而退，周日还将面对在埃兰路球场等待的利兹联。卡里克迫切需要他的球队能够顶住压力，做出贡献。

但如果说，在周六与少一人作战的热刺战平导致士气低落后，曼联经历了40年来最糟糕的赛季开局，这让卡里克担心最坏的情况，那么他并没有表现出来。

相反，他正享受着挑战，并敦促俱乐部的所有人都向他证明，他们同样在享受其中。

“我热爱这个部分，”卡里克说，“有时当事情进展不顺时，你才能看出谁才是真正可靠的。”

“你可以看到在团队、球员、阵容以及俱乐部内部，谁是想长期留在这里的，以及这件事对谁来说真正具有意义。”

“支持者们就在那里，他们对此极度渴望。我们必须给他们一些回报。”

“你必须迎接挑战，才能到达你想去的地方。我们现在正处于挑战的中心，但我完全相信我们会克服困难。”

在提到迭戈·西蒙尼在马德里竞技执教15年的统治地位时，卡里克补充道：“我现在面对的是一位在这里执教了很长时间的教练，我确信他也曾经历过事情没有按计划进行的时候。”

“但他们取得了巨大的成功，赢得了联赛冠军，并多次进入欧冠联赛的后期阶段。”

“我们谈论的是亚历克斯·弗格森爵士和迭戈·西蒙尼，他们在两家俱乐部都建立了一些极其特别的东西。”

“足球以及建立某种成就需要一个过程，你必须克服重重困难。”

“在我们联赛中，有些球队取得了成功，但这并不一定是一帆风顺的。”

“我理解当情况不那么理想时，会出现真正的喧嚣，人们会觉得‘这是一场灾难’，觉得一切都需要改变。”

“我明白这一点，但这绝对不是我们的心态。要取得任何成就，你必须处理困难的事情并克服它们。我在整个”

曼联在四次尝试中从未击败过马德里竞技。这家西班牙巨头在1991年终结了曼联对欧洲冠军杯优胜者杯的卫冕，并在2022年将他们淘汰出欧冠16强。

“职业生涯中都是这么做的。当然，我们希望结果能更好，但我们现在就处于目前的处境。”

当被问及是否感到压力时，卡里克回答道：“这取决于你如何定义压力。我绝对不会看向外界或其他地方来定义压力应该是怎样的。我经历过起起伏伏，所以我完全没有感受到来自那方面的压力。”

“对此没有负面情绪。这是在迎接挑战，并对我们可能做到的事情感到兴奋。”

对于平时温和的卡里克来说，这些话语令人振奋，但他的处境并不会变得更容易。

曼联抵达马德里时，科比·梅努和卢克·肖均未随行，两人昨日均缺席了卡灵顿的训练。

曼联没有像往常一样公布随行名单，而是在斟酌两人是否随行，这充分说明了俱乐部面临的压力。最终，他们没有随行。

肖本赛季第二次受伤尤其令人痛苦，因为曼联在夏天未能为他签下左后卫替补。在九月份的三场比赛中接替他的两名球员——帕特里克·多尔古和努赛尔·马兹拉维——目前也无法出战，因此右后卫迪奥戈·达洛特和年轻的哈里·阿马斯是卡里克今晚的可选方案。

赛事前瞻……马德里竞技 对阵 曼联

开球时间：晚上8点，大都会球场。电视转播：Amazon Prime 直播。裁判：格伦·尼伯格（瑞典）。

由于曼联未能预见到本杰明·塞斯科因胫骨受伤而必然会出现的复发，导致进攻端陷入困境。至少马蒂亚斯·德利赫特再次进入了随队名单，他此前已有近一年没有出场。

更令人关注的是卡里克将如何替代迈努。可以公平地说，这位英格兰中场与尤里·蒂莱曼斯的搭档并不成功。

“这不是一个能够掌控比赛的中场，”《每日比赛》（Match of the Day）评论员丹尼·默菲在曼联 1-1 平局战胜热刺后表示，对此很难反驳。

卡洛斯·巴莱巴在周六于老特拉福德举行的比赛中完成了首秀，这位夏天以 £7000 万 转会加盟的新援在比赛进行到一小时前替换了体力不支的蒂莱曼斯。

巴莱巴 30 分钟的出场时间是另一场令人沮丧的比赛中少数的亮点之一，尽管这位 22 岁球员的登场未能阻止热刺在伤停补时阶段扳平比分。

由于在夏天从布莱顿转会前受了一次脚踝伤，这位喀麦隆国脚直到 10 月中旬才得以完成首秀。

三天后，在炎热的大都会球场对阵马竞，卡里克会选择让巴莱巴首发吗？大概率不会。

但考虑到目前的困境，在如此迫切需要改善成绩的情况下，曼联主帅还能将他夏天最大的一笔签约留在替补席上多久？

“我们知道卡洛斯能带来什么，”卡里克说，“他在中场平衡方面能给我们带来一些不同的东西，所以我们必须针对特定的比赛选择正确的人选。”

早些时候，西蒙尼和他的马竞后卫大卫·汉茨科坐在同一个礼堂里，尽管曼联赛季开局糟糕，但他们拒绝轻视对手。在斯德哥尔摩的一场季前友谊赛中，马竞以 2-1 负于卡里克的球队，两粒进球均由布莱恩·姆贝乌莫打入。

“他们依然是曼联，一支非常强大的球队，我们需要通过比赛来惩罚他们，”西蒙尼说道。马竞希望在利物浦遭遇赛事首场失利后迅速反弹，并追求在 6 月份于主场进入决赛的梦想。

当然，他并没有在欺骗任何人。卡里克只能希望他的球员在最关键的时刻能够顶住压力，证明自己的价值。

阿尔特塔感叹两名球员在赛后放松训练中受伤运气不佳

作者：ISAAN KHAN

米克尔·阿尔特塔透露，在枪手周六击败利兹联后，他的两名阿森纳球员在赛后放松训练中遭遇了离奇的受伤。皮耶罗·因卡皮耶和马丁·苏比门迪在赛后训练课中脚踝受伤，导致两人将缺阵一段时间，具体时长尚未确定。两人原定在今晚的欧冠比赛中对阵里尔首发，在本赛季的英超联赛中，他们此前仅作为替补出场。阿森纳主帅阿尔特塔表示：“我们原计划在赛后为出场时间不足的球员安排一次训练……结果在两次非常不幸的意外中，我们失去了两名球员。”

“这远非理想状态。我们需要对他们进行评估并进一步扫描，然后才能确定他们将缺阵多久。”

“皮耶罗的情况看起来稍微严重一点，但我们必须等待观察。”

当被问及阿森纳是否可以采取任何措施来防止这些受伤时，阿尔特塔开玩笑说：“很简单，不训练就行。如果他们从不训练，就不会受伤，但后果是当他们需要上场时，没有比赛节奏，当你要求他们比赛时，他们将无法在比赛中产生影响。”

“这种情况可能会在酋长球场发生——在我在这里的七年里从未发生过。它也可能在第二天的训练课中发生。现在它发生了，希望以后不再发生。”

“你能怎么办？如果我有一个水晶球，我就会说，‘伙计们，去泡按摩浴缸吧，明天见’。”因卡皮耶受伤的方式也引发了疑问，流传的视频显示，替补门将伊兰·梅斯利埃在事故发生后将这名厄瓜多尔后卫背离球场。

观赛指南……阿森纳 对阵 里尔

开球时间：晚上8点，酋长球场。

电视转播：TNT Sports 1 直播。

裁判：费利克斯·茨瓦耶（德国）。

阿尔特塔表示：“那是另一回事，这里不讨论。”这位枪手主帅坚持认为，他不会因为这些受伤而改变阿森纳赛后放松训练的强度，他说道：“如果你想保持一致性，那么，不 [我不会强制降低节奏]。因为如果你遇到一些面色阴沉、态度糟糕的人，那么你就会质疑，‘你看到你的球员训练了吗？太荒谬了。这不符合标准’。”

“我更倾向于以这种方式发生。这就是我们在训练时的文化。我们按照最高标准训练，他们为了获胜而竞争。”对于阿森纳来说，更好的消息是，威廉·萨利巴已经恢复个人训练，这名后卫正在加快从背伤中康复。

这位法国人自世界杯以来一直缺阵。与此同时，萨利巴的中后卫搭档加布里埃尔赞扬了他的阿森纳和巴西队队友，感谢他们帮助他克服了上赛季欧冠决赛点球大战负于巴黎圣日耳曼时，他那个决定性的失点。

“如果我还有另一个点球，我会顶上去执行，”加布里埃尔说。“我的队友们给了我很大帮助。我只想忘记那个时刻。在那之后我参加了世界杯，巴西球员和教练对我说了许多积极的话。”

No 17,986

您在 4♥ 局面中担任西家，对方领出 ♠K。您需要用 ♥10 回到假人，以便在 ♦A-K 上处理掉您的梅花输墩，昨天我们考虑了三种可能的方案。

第一种方案是打出 ♥A，希望对方持有单张 ♥K。虽然这能为您带来两个超墩，但成功的可能性不大。第二种方案是向 ♥10 领出，希望北家持有 ♥K，这种方法更好，成功率约为一半。更好的做法是领出 ♥Q。只要任何一方持有单张或双张 ♥K，此方案均有效。如果对方用 ♥K-x 弃牌，他们将失去其将牌墩，这意味着您仅剩一张黑桃和两张梅花输墩；如果他们赢墩，您就有了进入假人的入口。

BURNHAM IN RETREAT OVER RUSSIA BREXIT 'LIES'

THE Prime Minister was in retreat last night over his ‘lies’ about Russian interference in the Brexit referendum. In an embarrassing U-turn

By Jason Groves and Christian Calgie

Andy Burnham admitted he has no evidence that the Kremlin meddled in the 2016 vote, a claim he made just 24 hours earlier.

Yesterday Boris Johnson told the

Daily Mail that ‘Burnham’s Brexit lies have come back to bite him’. And Nigel Farage branded Mr Burnham’s comments ‘outrageous’, adding: ‘The Prime Minister is a liar.’

Troubles Bill redraft ‘still leaves veterans open to witch hunts’

By Mark Nicol

Defence Editor

NORTHERN Ireland veterans have dismissed changes to the Troubles Bill as ‘window dressing’, arguing it paves the way for possible prosecutions of elderly troops.

Soldiers in their 70s and 80s, harassed by lawyers for decades, will still face politically-driven court cases and coroners' hearings under the Bill.

Last night, ex-Blues and Royals Lance Corporal Paul Young said Labour was using ‘gimmicks’ to distract the military

community while failing to provide clarity on key issues as the amended Bill return to the Commons this week.

Among the changes is a clause stating suspected terrorists can't rely on ‘comfort letters’ – issued by Tony Blair as part of the Good Friday Agreement – which said investigations into their activities were being suspended. More significantly for veterans, at least eight inquests into decades-old incidents are expected to go ahead as a result of the Bill. Many may face fresh prosecutions.

Labour also ignored their plea that a Supreme Court judge should decide if a soldier faces trial, instead saying the choice rests with the Attorney General.

Lance Corporal Young said: ‘The Republicans are trying to rewrite history and put soldiers in the dock. Soldiers remain exposed.’

Government sources said the changes covered 80 per cent of concerns raised by various veterans' groups.

Britain WILL be breached by rogue A.I.

---

By Claire Ellicott Whitehall Editor

A BREACH of the UK's cyber defences by AI is ‘inevitable’, the minister for the sector warned yesterday.

Kanishka Narayan, the AI minister, said it was likely the country would fall prey to an attack as he announced plans to increase safeguards.

Minister pledges stronger cyber defences after Australia hacking

It came as the president of Microsoft said that milk and washing machines were more regulated than the AI sector at present.

In his first major speech since taking on the newly formed role, Mr Narayan warned that the UK would almost certainly suffer a major attack on its infrastructure.

Referring to a hack on Australia, in which a rogue Open-AI agent targeted a govern-

'Take warnings seriously'

ment website and accessed private data, he said the UK needed to be prepared.

'The incident should concern us,' the MP warned. 'It concerns me. It seems likely, if not inevitable, that our own cyber defences will be breached.'

He said the Government must take seriously the risks of AI – as set out by those who work in the sector.

Last month, researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from US firm Anthropic, saying AI ‘could kill us all by the end of the decade’.

Asked if AI could wipe out humanity, Mr Narayan said: 'On the question of risk specifically, look when you hear warnings from folks who work in these companies, you have to take them seriously.' He also said developers should only build 'machines that leave us human beings in charge' and help humanity.

Concern: Kanishka Narayan

‘As we cross the threshold into the age of superintelligence, the choices we make now matter,' he added. 'We must build machines that serve us – machines that help scientists discover new medicines, machines that give care workers more time with the people who depend on them, machines that help British businesses become more productive.

'Above all, machines that leave us human beings in charge.'

He said the Government should take ‘swift action’ to protect against rogue online agents, adding: ‘The British public is right to expect that this Government ought to take the risks of AI seriously.’

In a Government press release to accompany his speech, officials also seemed to warn that the UK wasn't ready for an attack.

'A major incident involving AI agents could play out quicker and wider than other major incidents that governments are designed to respond to, and rising to this challenge will require the development of new expertise and capabilities,' it said.

Mr Narayan said that scientists at Britain's AI Security Institute were running tests on the latest models, including Google's Gemini, to ensure ‘robust safeguards’.

It follows news that the web giant said it would restrict access to Gemini to only a vetted group of cyber security experts.

Ministers will also strengthen parts of the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to protect hospitals and utilities from rogue AI, Mr Narayan assured.

It came as Microsoft's president, Brad Smith, said even simple household appliances are more regulated than AI.

He added that there needed to be global safety rules in place, including a legal obligation to tell a ‘victim’ if their system is breached by a rogue AI agent.

Fun in the sun: Kate Hudson, Courteney Cox, and model Vittoria Ceretti with Leonardo DiCaprio

As A-listers gather for Hawaii wedding, Leo is the biggest star on the beach...

Kiss the bride: Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire officiates his ex's wedding

HE cemented his reputation as one of cinema's great heartthrobs all those years ago in the smash cult movie The Beach.

And Leonardo DiCaprio clearly has lost none of his fondness for chilling out by the sea with his A-list friends.

Indeed, anyone spotting the 51-year-old actor in Hawaii must have thought that Hollywood had decamped en masse for a weekend break. For among those enjoying the fun were Kate Hudson, Courteney Cox, along with DiCaprio and his 28-year-old girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, who is a fashion model.

They had flown to the US island state for the wedding of Jennifer Meyer, ex-wife of Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire – who also happens to be DiCaprio's best friend.

Maguire was in the unusual position of officiating the wedding of his ex-wife, 49, to billionaire Geoff

By Justin Enriquez

Ogunlesi, 34. The couple, who exchanged vows beside the ocean, started dating in 2023.

Maguire married jewellery designer Ms Meyer in 2007. The pair separated in 2016, with their divorce finalised last month. Their two children Ruby, 19, and Otis, 17, were also at the wedding.

Since their 2016 separation, Ms Meyer and Maguire have remained on the best of terms.

Other wedding guests in Hawaii included Amazon boss Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez, fashion designer Rachel Zoe and actress Zoe Kravitz.

Ahead of the big day, DiCaprio relaxed at the beach with Ms Ceretti, showing off his dad bod as he splashed about in the Pacific.

Maguire, Ms Cox, 62, and Ms Hudson, 47, joined in the fun, with the two actresses looking stunning in monochrome bikinis.

Panned: Tom Cruise as an oil tycoon in Digger

Now that's a disaster movie... New Tom Cruise film is world's top flop - and set to lose £185m!

TOM Cruise's latest film Digger is on course to be the biggest box office flop of all time.

The critically-panned satire has seen second weekend ticket sales drop by a staggering 60 per cent.

During its opening weekend, Alejandro G Inarritu's environmental disaster film – which sees Cruise play an oil tycoon – grossed \$8million (£6million) in the US, with international sales of £9mil-

lion. US ticket sales dropped by nearly two thirds in its second weekend, bringing its tally to \$14.4 million (£10.9 million) domestically and £27 million globally.

Industry insiders said it is now on course to lose £185million in its theatrical run, with an estimated global box office of £38million. Variety reports it needs £264million globally to break even because cinema owners keep about half of ticket sales.

Warner Bros, which signed off on the film for £95million only to see the budget soar to £136million, told Variety the break-even point was £227million.

The studio spent another £78million on marketing. If Digger does lose £185million, it would put the film among the biggest box office bombs of all time. With £136million in losses, Disney's 2012 John Carter holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest flop in history.

Director Renny Harlin's 1995 film Cutthroat Island also earns its place in the history books after it made just £12million against an estimated £76million budget.

Adjusted for inflation, that amounts to a £168million loss.

VOLODYMYR Zelensky has said it is ‘increasingly clear’ Russia does not want a ceasefire on energy infrastructure after strikes continued to hammer Ukraine’s facilities.

The Ukrainian president dismissed Vladimir Putin's offer of a one-day ceasefire and ignored the threats of a furious Donald Trump.

After Kremlin missiles hit an oil refinery, causing widespread blackouts in Kyiv, Mr Zelensky wrote on X: 'Unfortunately there were strikes on our energy infrastructure today and on our energy infrastructure yesterday. All day long there have been air raid alerts across Ukraine.'

The Russian attacks came within hours of the US President announcing the ceasefire would be ‘effective immediately’. This appeared to come as a surprise to the Ukrainian leader, who said the ceasefire was ‘news to me’, but that Ukraine would observe it if Moscow agreed.

Russia has since struck Ukrainian energy facilities six times. Ukrainian officials also said yesterday that a Russian strike on a

high-rise residential building in a Kyiv suburb had killed two people and injured at least seven.

Mr Zelensky continued on X: 'If these strikes are indeed Russia's response to the US President's statement, it means the Russians have squandered yet another opportunity to bring peace closer.

'A lot depends on America's position for de-escalation to actually succeed. Pressure on Russia is needed. We continue to communicate with the American side at all levels.'

As attempts to negotiate a truce descended into farce, Putin offered a one-day ceasefire to Ukraine so it could hold elections in relative safety. The country has been under martial law since Russia invaded in 2022, meaning elections are suspended.

Putin's offer was a cursory response to Mr Zelensky's request for 60 days for the same purpose.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: 'If they truly want to hold elections in Kyiv then the president of Russia, the commander-in-chief, will be ready to give an order not to launch strikes on Ukraine on election day, specifically on election day.'

After Mr Zelensky suggested a two-month ceasefire, Russia's

foreign minister said Ukraine doesn't deserve the ‘respite’ it would bring. Sergey Lavrov said a break in fighting would allow European allies to ‘pump [Ukraine] with new weapons’.

He suggested Mr Zelensky had 'faked' his surprise at Mr Trump's announcement, and accused him of using 'any words, any initiatives' to get a ceasefire. 'I don't think he deserves a respite,' Lavrov said. The Kremlin is determined to oust Mr Zelensky, an ambition seemingly shared by Mr Trump, who has lashed out at the Ukrainian leader.

Bandages and blitz: A paramedic patches up the wounded. Right: Russian strike caught on CCTV

The US President has grown increasingly frustrated with Mr Zelensky, threatening to cut off Ukraine's weapons supplies. A Kremlin spokesman said it 'likes the US stance on Ukraine' after Mr Trump's intervention.

Prior to announcing the latest ‘ceasefire’, Mr Trump shocked allies by announcing the purchase of ‘hundreds of thousands of tons’ of Russian diesel. After Mr Zelensky criticised that as a ‘gift’ to Putin, Mr Trump said it was time for Ukraine to ‘get a new leader who can make a deal’.

Houthis ‘force Saudi prince into hiding’

Target: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

SAUDI Arabia's crown prince has reportedly been forced into hiding as Houthi rebels continue to hit Riyadh with missile strikes.

Mohammed bin Salman has been moving between the bunkers of 'heavily guarded palaces' over the past week, according to officials.

On Saturday, the country was struck by its deadliest attack in a decade when a missile hit King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, killing 13 and injuring hundreds.

The airport in the capital was hit again on Sunday night, leaving another person dead and 11 hurt. As strikes continued yesterday, Crown

Prince bin Salman, 41, remained in hiding. 'The crown prince is shuttling between heavily guarded palaces equipped with bunkers and is guarded by a hand-picked security team,' Saudi officials said.

He has not been seen in public since last Tuesday. Meanwhile, schools in Riyadh were forced to close as the assault intensified.

The Houthis claimed they launched the attacks in retaliation for Saudi aggression against areas they control in western Yemen. Saudi Arabia has vowed a ‘serious’ response – and yesterday the Houthis claimed ten people had been killed in Yemen in retaliatory strikes.

Donald Trump suggested he ‘may’ intervene in the conflict, increasing the possibility of war in the Middle East escalating further. Yesterday Andy Burnham condemned the attacks and said the UK had provided air defence support and an air-to-air refuelling aircraft to Saudi Arabia.

The civil war in Yemen reignited in July after a four-year truce collapsed. Riyadh leads an international coalition that has supported Yemen's government militarily since 2015.

Miliband summons Iran envoy over scare at RAF base

By Ryan Hooper

Crime Correspondent

IRAN'S hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was 'almost certainly' responsible for the security scare at RAF Fairfield, Andy Burnham said yesterday.

It came as Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband – criticised for shaking hands with his Iranian counterpart during a meeting in New York – summoned the Iranian ambassador over the incident.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the dressing down will allow Mr Miliband to ‘condemn Iran’s continued attempts to undermine our safety’.

Referring to the suspected plot at the RAF base in Gloucestershire, the Prime Minister told the Commons: 'I can confirm our assessment that it is highly likely to have been co-ordinated in Iran, almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard. We will not tolerate these threats on our soil.

‘We will crack down on Iran’s use of criminal networks, using our full range of powers to target them and their funding streams, and we will bring further sanctions to restrict the capacity of Iran and the IRGC to do us harm.’ Ms Mahmood told MPs a

‘We will not tolerate threats’

'known individual based in Iran' was thought to have co-ordinated the plot.

The UK joined the US and allies including Canada, France and Germany in releasing a statement condemning Iran last night. It accused Iran of 'lethal plotting, arson, sabotage, cyber-attacks' around the world.

And it added: 'The UK has also concluded this event demonstrates the IRGC's continued willingness to project hostile activity beyond its borders through covert networks and proxy actors. Any attempt by Iran to threaten, silence, intimidate, harass, harm, or coerce people on our territories through proxies or any other means is unacceptable.'

The statement said ‘anyone who conducts hostile activities on behalf of Iran, or any other state, should know that we will take action to identify, investigate, disrupt, and prosecute these acts’.

Ms Mahmood said Tehran was also behind attacks against the Jewish community in the UK. She told MPs: 'States like Iran are using proxies to conduct hostile activity here in Britain.

‘They pay criminals or exploit naive volunteers, attacking our country and its citizens while maintaining an air of plausible deniability.’

Seven people – six British nationals and a British-Iranian national – were arrested and bailed over the incident at RAF Fairfield last month after three suspicious vans were stopped near the base.

Green who hated cars killed in crash on unicycle after app sent him down a dual carriageway

Crash site: He tried to slow as he met a jam on the A338 in Bournemouth

Hated cars: Benjamin Wells-Lane was passionate about the environment. Right, an electric unicycle

Tributes: Widow Patrisha

By Claire Duffin

AN ENVIRONMENTALIST riding an electric unicycle was killed after a bike app sent him down a busy dual carriageway, an inquest has heard.

Benjamin Wells-Lane, 46, was travelling on a 40mph stretch of road when traffic ground to a halt in front of him.

Realising he wouldn't be able to stop in time, he swerved and collided with a lamppost.

Emergency services attempted to revive Mr Wells-Lane on the A338 in Bournemouth but he died at the scene.

The inquest heard the self-balancing electric unicycle he was riding on July 3 was not legally allowed on British roads.

His widow Patrisha said her husband, who worked as a handyman, hated cars and loved that he could use his unicycle to get to most places.

He believed it was better for the environment and traffic congestion. Mrs Wells-Lane said her hus-

band was a ‘safety-conscious rider’, always equipped with a helmet, protective clothing and high-vis jacket.

She added that the cycling apps he used would often direct him on to the A338.

'He was a skilled and well-practised rider,' Mrs Wells-Lane said. 'I believe the [A338] should not be marked as a bike route. There was nothing that could've controlled it, no safety gear that could've prevented injury.'

The hearing at Bournemouth town hall was told that Mr Wells-Lane, who lived in Poole, left Richmond Hill roundabout and started travelling westbound on the dual carriageway just before 4pm on July 3. But he faced standstill traffic almost as soon as he joined from the slip road.

injury. Richard Middleton, assistant coroner for Dorset, recorded the cause of death as a road traffic collision.

Sergeant Michael Burt, of Dorset Police's traffic unit, said: '[Mr Wells-Lane] attempted to slow when coming off the slip road and collided with a lamppost.'

A post-mortem examination found Mr Wells-Lane died as a result of a traumatic aortic

Sergeant Burt said the traffic jam had been caused by a van driver stopping in the carriageway and getting out to retrieve an item. Vehicles behind the van then came to a standstill.

Electric unicycles come under the umbrella term ‘powered transporters’, coined to cover ‘emerging personal transport devices’ including e-scooters. Using a powered transporter on a public road is a criminal offence.

Mr Wells-Lane, who was born in the US state of Utah, had moved to Poole with his wife in January 2025. He died the day after their second wedding anniversary.

Paying tribute to her husband, Mrs Wells-Lane said: 'He was truly 100 per cent happy with his life, for the first time in his life.

‘We never took each other for granted. We were partners in every way. It will never be OK that we lost so many years that we could have had together.' She added: 'He was very passionate about making the world a better place.'

A memorial bench has been installed in tribute to Mr Wells-Lane on Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour, where he volunteered for the Dorset Wildlife Trust.

Sunday scrollies! Day we spend the most time on our phones

IT used to be a case of the Sunday scaries – that sinking feeling when the weekend is over and Monday morning is just a sleep away.

But now Britons are suffering from the Sunday scrollies as they reach for their phones and scroll aimlessly as a distraction.

When asked why their phone use increased on a Sunday, more than half said they were anxious about work the next day and they could not sleep.

Conquering queen of world conker contest is a rookie

By Noor Qurashi

THE victor of this year's World Conker Championships was a newcomer to the sport.

Frankie Hooper, 28, from Oundle, saw off a former champion in the women's final before beating men's winner Simon Griffiths in the grand final too.

The 256 competitors from ten countries, including Japan and Germany, took turns to swing a conker threaded on

a string to smash their opponent's. Ms Hooper's win on Sunday earned her the coveted title of Queen Conker.

She said: 'I've not played conkers before, and certainly not entered a conker competition ever before, so this is amazing.'

A humbled Mr Griffiths joked: 'I'm going to change my name I think!'

Starmer, Zelensky and EU leaders to meet Trump today – but will he listen to a single word they say?

SIR KEIR Starmer, PV@eukis

SIR KEIR Starmer will join EU and Nato leaders to bolster Volodymyr Zelensky in his crunch White House meeting with Donald Trump today. They will present a united front in the hope of moderating Mr Trump's treatment of the Ukrainian leader,

whom he humiliated at the Oval Office in February.

European ministers fear that Mr Zelensky is walking into a trap laid by Vladimir Putin.

The Ukrainian leader said last night that the 'coalition of the willing' - the UK and other nations that have pledged to support Kyiv - held a 'useful' two-hour video conference yesterday. He revealed that they had a 'common view on what a peace agreement should be' and insisted it did not include changing state borders by force.

In a sign of EU leaders' bullishness, French president Emmanuel Maeron said afterwards: 'If we're not strong today, we'll pay dearly tomorrow.'

It came after Boris Johnson called on Sir Keir to lead global efforts to protect Ukraine from

Furious Farage: He

unpick Brexit, claiming it would be a ‘der- eliction of duty’ to ignore the chance for a closer relationship with Brussels.

He said sticking with the status quo was ‘not good enough for Britain’ as he opened the door to a return to free movement with the EU after the next election.

Mr Burnham faced a fierce backlash after resurrecting discredited conspiracy theories on Sunday that the referendum result was influenced by Moscow.

He told the podcast The Rest is Politics, co-hosted by former Labour spin chief Alastair Campbell, that on arriving in No10 he had asked officials whether there was evidence Russia had interfered in the campaign.

‘I’ve had the clear answer that yes, there was,’ Mr Burnham said. ‘These things are important now to put clearly on the record.’

Ministers, however, struggled to defend the claim yesterday and Downing Street was eventually forced to clarify that the PM accepts the referendum result was ‘legitimate’.

In the Commons yesterday Tory leader Kemi Badenoch demanded the PM ‘publish the evidence that Russia swung the result of the 2016 referendum’. She added:

"The Prime Minister implied that the result was illegitimate because of Russian interference. Where has that come from?"

‘We all remember that in 2018, the head of MI5 said that there was no evidence that Russia had influenced the EU referendum result.

‘Even this morning, the Prime Minister’s own foreign minister could not say if the evidence existed.’

Mr Burnham insisted he had ‘implied no such thing’. He conceded he had no evidence that the Kremlin had influenced the outcome of the vote.

'It is a matter of record that Russian actors sought to interfere in the 2019 general election, and we think it is inconceivable that this was the first time,' he said.

SKETCH

by QUENTIN

LETTS

WHAT does Andy Burnham desire or envisage? What are his plans? After his two-hour session in the Commons it was unclear if he himself knew.

He bounced all over the place, a pinball under glass, an autumn bluebottle going mad in your bedside lampshade, deranged by fear of being swatted.

Mr Burnham, in only his third parliamentary week as PM, was at the despatch box for an ‘international update’.

The obvious crisis was Ukraine and President Trump's latest crass gambit.

The PM did not wish to chew long on that. He fluttered his lashes and moved to proposed EU renegotiations.

Ed Miliband, Foreign Secretary, sat by him, yacking advice out of the left of his mouth. Cabinet ministers had a fight over seating arrangements. Low-wattage Lucy Powell thought she had bagged a good spot but she was told to shift by First Secretary Louise Haigh. Lucy is scared of Louise. Is she being bullied?

Further away sat Europe minister Hamish Falconer, a corkscrew of limbs.

Yet further down the bench was another Foreign Office minister, Stephen Doughty, who had had a miserable morning in the broadcasting studios trying to explain Andy's position on alleged Russian interference in the Brexit referendum. Brother Doughty looked exhausted, his feet splayed at ten-to-two, face white as suet.

The PM was

like an autumn

bluebottle in

lampshade,

swatted...

MR Burnham suffers no such anxieties. He breezes about, quite the Ordinary Joe. Before the statement he loitered behind the Speaker's Chair. An untutored observer would have assumed he was just another junior minister. There is no aura about him.

His opening remarks skated over the Iran and Ukraine stuff and dwelt at greater length on how he was going to cuddle back close to Brussels.

All this from a man who at the Makerfield by-election assured voters that, ‘the last thing we should do right now is re-run those arguments’ about Brexit.

Ah, yes, well, that was then and this was now, when he wants Lib Dem and Green voters to back him before he calls a possible early election. And so he laid out all the customs hassles that he wished to reopen. Kemi Badenoch smote her brow in disbelief. She remarked that he had just shown the EU his cards. 'Unbelievable!' she cried in despair.

Mr Burnham was not listening entirely because he was having a fight with his A4 folder, clipping and unclipping its binder to rearrange his papers.

He doesn't seem the best prepared of chaps. One sheet looked as if it might be from a telephone directory. On any EU deal, he burbled in his blokeish, airy way, 'the British people will be the boss'. MPs wondered if that meant he would hold another referendum. With a certain exasperation he said: 'No one in the House today is proposing a referendum!' Yet just a moment or two later he told MPs: 'We have to look at the options.' Vicky Pollard was more decisive.

Not all Labour MPs were thrilled. Jonathan Hinder (Pendle) and Melanie Onn (Grimsby) tried to get him to promise

Mrs Badenoch last night said: 'The busiest job in Westminster is running after the PM with a dustpan and brush, sweeping up whatever he said five minutes earlier.

‘Implying the 2016 referendum was illegitimate, until the entire Government communications machine scrambled to clarify what he said... Burnham is all over the place, making statements he clearly hasn't thought through.’

Ministers in successive governments have repeatedly denied conspiracy theories about Russian involvement in the

Brexit result. A 2020 report by the Commons intelligence and security committee found no evidence of successful interference.

In January this year, the security minister Dan Jarvis said: ‘Successive governments have not seen any evidence of successful foreign interference in the European Union referendum.’

Last night Mr Johnson accused Mr Burnham of a cynical ploy designed to win over pro-EU Lib Dem and Green voters and said his claims were ‘just not true’.

The former prime minister said the security services had assured him in government that Russia had not successfully interfered in the Brexit result, adding: 'Either the security services have changed their view – which would be very odd – or Burnham is lying about what he has been told.'

Mr Johnson told the Daily Mail:

---

'He wants to call an early election'

'Burnham will do and say whatever he thinks is expedient. He wants to call an early election and he is trying to give Lib Dem and Green voters enough grounds to believe he might reverse Brexit so that they vote for him.' Meanwhile, Mr Farage told a press conference in Kent: 'The Prime Minister is a liar. Yes, a liar. When Boris Johnson became foreign secretary, one of the first questions he asked was, "Was there seen to be Russian interference in the referendum campaign?" And the answer was no.

‘There was no Russian interference, and the Russia hoax has run all the way through this... This is an out of touch, out of date Andy Burnham with all sorts of bizarre ideas.’

The PM's comments are the latest in a series of interventions seemingly designed to discredit the referendum result as he moves to unpick the Brexit deal.

Speaking to reporters while travelling to New York last month, Mr Burnham stopped short of directly blaming Moscow but claimed that Brexit had been driven by ‘outside forces’ trying to ‘manipulate opinion’.

‘I’m reflecting on that last decade,’ he said. ‘What we’ve experienced is that turbulence comes when outside actors seek to manipulate, to distort facts [and] influence the British democratic process.’ In a speech to the United Nations the following day, he said

is a liar, yes a liar

Blokeish burbling: Andy Burnham yesterday

there would be no return to freedom of movement and no question of us being made to join the euro. Ms Onn used the verb ‘capitulate’. Mr Burnham went a bit fuzzy.

The damnable thing about the Commons is that you can't hide. You must rise on your rear hooves and say things which will be recorded by Hansard.

It is harder to be vague at the despatch box than it is in a television interview or on TikTok or when leaking stories via spin doctors. What about the Ruskies bending the Brexit vote, then? One moment Mr Burnham said Russia had sought to interfere in recent political events and it was ‘inconceivable’ that was the first time.

In another blithe breath he denied outright to Sir Julian Lewis (Con, New Forest E) that he ever suggested Russia altered the result of the referendum.

Dim, dishonest or making it up as he sails. I leave it to you to decide which.

How Burnham backtracked on his Brexit claim

ON SUNDAY, Andy Burnham ripped open Britain's Brexit wounds by claiming Russia had interfered in 2016's referendum.

The Prime Minister's comments came despite years of evidence pointing to the contrary, including from the likes of MI5 and Labour's own Cabinet members.

Now, in the hours since his divisive suggestion, Mr Burnham has sought to backtrack in a very public fashion.

SUNDAY, 4PM: The Prime Minister's interview with The Rest Is Politics is released, as he tells Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart: 'I asked the question coming to Downing Street, was there interference in the 2016 referendum from Russia? And I've had the clear answer that yes, there was.'

MONDAY, 8AM: Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty attempts to row back on the claims, telling LBC: 'We know what the result was... I don't think they've succeeded in their efforts to undermine our elections.

'The security minister's been very clear that they've attempted but not succeeded, in his evidence that he gave previously on this. But the fact is that they are attempting to interfere, and we all need to be alert.'

MONDAY, 11:30AM: Nigel Farage accuses Mr Burnham of lying.

MONDAY, 11:45AM: The Prime Minister's spokesman says Russia has not influenced UK elections, despite repeated attempts.

MONDAY, 15:52PM: Kemi Badenoch raises the row in the Commons, demanding to know ‘where has this come from’. MONDAY, 15:58PM: Mr Burnham tells MPs he ‘implied no such thing’, adding: ‘It is a matter of record, Mr Speaker, that Russian actors sought to interfere in the 2019 general election, and we think it is inconceivable that this was the first time.’

PREVIOUS DENIALS

APRIL 2018: The Government says there had been ‘no evidence of successful interference’, in response to a petition demanding that the referendum result be declared ‘null and void due to foreign interference’.

MAY 2018: The head of MI5 says he is not aware that outside influence determined the outcome of the 2016 referendum.

Questions: Kemi Badenoch yesterday

JULY 2020: A report by Parliament's intelligence and security committee found no evidence that Russian interference affected the referendum.

SEPTEMBER 2020: In response to another petition, the Government says they ‘have seen no evidence of successful interference’.

DECEMBER 2025: Labour minister Steve Reed says: 'There is no evidence that the outcome of any previous election or referendum was affected by any attempted foreign interference.'

JANUARY 2026: Labour minister Dan Jarvis says: ‘Successive governments have not seen any evidence of successful foreign interference in the EU referendum.’

SEPTEMBER 2026: Labour minister Florence Eshalomi says: 'There is no evidence of any foreign interference attempts having been “successful” in materially impacting the outcome of a recent UK election or referendum.'

Russia was spending £1.3 billion a year on manipulating information. 'We're talking about an insidious campaign that reaches into people's homes and twists what they feel about their own country and community – creating a narrative of decline, stoking division and sowing despair.'

Tory frontbencher Ben Obese-Jecty said the PM was ‘clearly laying the groundwork for rejoining [the EU] by casting doubt on the result and throwing red meat to his base’.

Mr Burnham said he would use a summit with the EU in Brussels on November 20 to discuss options for a closer relationship with Europe. He has previously said this could include going ‘all the way’ and rejoining.

He told the Commons yesterday that the public mood on Brexit had changed since 2016 and insisted the ‘British people will be the boss of whatever is decided’.

But he sowed confusion about whether the public would get a direct say on any deal, saying: 'No one... today is proposing a referendum.'

Mrs Badenoch said the PM's bid to cosy up to Brussels made a mockery of his claim during the Makerfield by-election in June that ‘the last thing we should do right now is rerun those arguments’ about Brexit.

The PM insisted yesterday that

---

'A dereliction of duty to turn away'

a closer deal with the EU could boost growth, telling MPs: 'Sticking with the status quo is not good enough for Britain. Worse, it would be a major dereliction of duty to turn away.

‘We need to take a calm, clear-eyed, rational look at the world as it is today, to consider what is best for our country.' He said Labour would stick to its manifesto 'red lines' on the single market, customs union and free movement during this Parliament.

But he refused to rule out a return to free movement after the next election, despite concerns among some Red Wall Labour MPs.

Pendle and Clitheroe MP Jonathan Hinder asked Mr Burnham to guarantee that ‘as long as he is Prime Minister, there will be no return to freedom of movement’.

The PM said he would ‘fully respect’ Labour’s manifesto, but added: ‘We have to look at the options that are available for the long-term relationship.

‘In the next decade, this country needs to know where it is going. There are no assumptions here.’

Former Labour leader Lord Kinnock last night said ‘Burnham’s objective is to join’ the EU again.

A former EU commissioner, he told Italian newspaper La Repubblica: 'He's always been a committed pro-European. In the by-election, he rightly didn't make a noise about it.'

BURNHAM BUDGET: 15 DAYS TO GO

Labour told not to spend what it can't afford trying to ease the cost of living

IMF's warning as it downgrades UK growth forecast

By Alex Brummer in Bangkok and John-Paul Ford Rojas

ANDY Burnham has been warned not to splash out on unaffordable cost-of-living measures as Britain's economic outlook was downgraded by the International Monetary Fund.

The IMF raised the alarm over high spending by countries facing a cost of living squeeze, saying they should instead be tightening their belts.

The UK and crisis-ridden France were the only two G7 countries to see growth forecasts for next year cut in the fund's latest World Economic Outlook report.

It is a blow to the Prime Minister's hope of renewing prosperity and Labour's election pledge to deliver the highest growth of major advanced economies. And it comes as Chancellor

'Politically difficult to withdraw'

John Healey prepares for a Budget that will aim to deliver ‘breathing space’ amid surging annual energy bills – which are set to rise above £2,000 in the New Year.

In an intervention that may give the Chancellor second thoughts about any costly support package, the IMF said the need to rebuild public finances was ‘urgent’ and that any new spending measures ‘should be well funded’.

With debt soaring and bond market turmoil pushing borrowing costs higher, the IMF said governments had 'less room to manoeuvre' than in the past – such as in 2022 when Britain splashed out more than £40 billion to protect households from soaring bills.

Heat pumps in firing line over defence funds

Fiscal bind: Chancellor John Healey

HEAT pump subsidies are to be slashed to help fill a black hole in the defence budget.

Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh has been told to find £2billion in savings for this month's Budget to help fund the Defence Investment Plan.

Heat pump grants worth up to £9,000 each are in the firing line, amid Treasury concerns they act as a middle-class subsidy.

Sir Keir Starmer signed off the delayed defence plan as one of his final acts in office. But, despite months of wrangling, funding for the package was left almost £5billion short.

Budget and is pressing ministers for savings.

This could also see school refurbishments and road projects cancelled. Welfare is set to go untouched.

The Government pays generous Net Zero subsidies to offset the high cost of replacing gas boilers with heat pumps. But the £2.7billion scheme now looks likely to be cut back.

Tory grandee Sir Iain Duncan Smith welcomed the move from a Labour ‘obsessed to the point of disaster over Net Zero’. But Octopus Energy boss Greg Jackson told the Guardian it would be ‘brutally damaging’.

The report said any government support measures ‘should be used sparingly’ and ‘unwound rapidly as the shock dissipates’.

‘Broad-based fuel subsidies, generalised tax cuts, and price controls should be avoided,’ it said. ‘These are typically poorly targeted, fiscally costly, distortionary, and politically difficult to withdraw once introduced.’

In a blunt warning to Britain and other advanced economies, the IMF urged them to tackle high levels of debt, so they can ‘withstand future shocks’.

It said ‘borrowing costs have risen sharply... along with fiscal and credit risks’. And it said ‘fiscal buffers’ – governments’ financial headroom – intended to deal with ageing populations and climate change, have been used up to ‘absorb repeated shocks’.

The combination of higher borrowing rates and debt 'exposed vulnerability' and it urged 'strong and deliberate actions to rebuild buffers and shore up capacity to withstand fiscal shocks'.

The warnings will do little to allay fears of further tax rises, on top of the £75billion piled on by Rachel Reeves as Chancellor.

The language echoed comments from Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey, who last week warned that the Chancellor must deliver a ‘credible’

Budget or face more bond market turmoil.

In its latest forecasts, released at the IMF annual meeting in Bangkok, Britain's 2027 growth forecast was cut from 1.3 to 1.2 per cent ‘as higher energy prices and long-term interest rates weigh on consumption and investment’.

France – which is grappling with a budget crisis, riots and political paralysis – saw its forecast fall from 0.9 to 0.7 per cent.

Call to tax pensioners to fill black hole

LABOUR'S favourite think-tank has backed a £6billion tax raid on pensioners and landlords to help fill a ‘huge hole’ in the public finances, declaring: ‘Somebody is going to have to pay for it.’

In a report two weeks before the Budget, the Resolution Foundation also suggests targeting homeowners, banks and wealth. Yet the Left-wing think-tank says benefit claimants cannot be expected to face cuts – arguing there is ‘little fat to trim’ from the welfare bill.

Among the report's recommendations is a reform of capital gains tax to raise £4billion

by ending exemptions for the owners of assets when they die or leave the country. And reducing the threshold at which small firms must pay VAT could bring in £2billion.

It revives the idea of a tax switch in which income tax goes up by 2p in the pound while national insurance is cut by 2p.

The proposal would hit the self-employed, landlords and pensioners – who are subject to income tax, but not national insurance.

‘That may be controversial, but if major new expenditure is to be funded, then somebody is going to have to pay for it,’ the report said.

The report estimates that Chancellor John Healey's Budget headroom – his buffer against meeting financial rules – has fallen from £24billion to £12billion as conflict in the Middle East has left a ‘huge hole in the UK public finances’.

It also suggests a £2billion package of help for households struggling to pay energy bills as they surge past £2,000 a year – but only for the worst-off – and it calls for a £2.3billion boost to housing support.

More claims for disability now than after WWI

By Martin Beckford and David Wilcock

DISABILITY claims have risen faster in recent years than after the First World War, a major report has found.

Some 1.8 million working-age Britons were classed as disabled – including those with mental health conditions – between 2019-20 and 2024-25.

By contrast, 1.6million servicemen had by March 1923 established disability claims after being injured in the Great War, the study into Britain's ‘broken benefits system’ revealed.

This means the increase in claimants following the pandemic has soared past the post-war period's total, the Centre for Social Justice said.

As many as 6.7 million across England, Wales and Scotland

'Something has gone wrong'

now receive out-of-work benefits. The report also warned that state handouts have created a 'benefits trap', where it is better to be on welfare than work. This is because claimants on health and housing support alongside PIP can get £27,400 tax-free.

Joe Shalam, of the think-tank, said the fact a quarter of the workforce are earning less than this after tax shows 'something has gone badly wrong'. The Government said it was tackling these issues via measures such as restoring in-person assessments.

It comes as it was revealed that more than £1billion a year is being paid to teenagers with autism, ADHD and depression. One expert said ‘these kids want help, but they are getting cash instead’, The Times reported last night.

£1.1trn extra for handouts than housing

THE welfare budget has received £1.1trillion more than the likes of transport and housing in the past 20 years, a study has revealed.

Spending on state handouts has ‘kept areas of the country numbed during two decades of economic failure’ as a result, the report found.

It comes after Andy Burnham last month ruled out ‘crude cuts’ to benefits, as this would ‘never be the Labour way’.

The UK spent £1.6trillion on working-age handouts between 2006 and 2025, the Centre for Social Justice think-tank discovered. This far outstripped investment in transport, science and housing.

The deficit was evident in areas with high unemployment, the State of Dependency report showed. Ben Gregg, of the think-tank, said welfare has been used ‘to numb the pain, instead of providing... hope’.

Hotspot: The Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc famously hosted the Kennedys and Windsors

Plague of influencers sparks mobile phone camera ban at luxury French hotel to stars

Strike a pose: Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere at the hotel

THE epitome of glamour, the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc is the luxurious Riviera resort that played host to the Kennedys, Churchills and Windsors.

But now staff at Antibes' most exclusive cliffside hotel have been forced to ban mobile phone photography after it became overrun with influencers looking to get snaps for social media.

Wannabe social-media stars have been staging photo shoots in the grounds, restaurants and by the pool at the hotel where rooms cost up to £28,000 a night.

assault course – a century-old rope swing and hanging ladder – over the sea.

Now, management has confirmed there will be much tighter restrictions on photography.

Hotel manager Sophie Volant said some restaurant visitors were spending more time taking photos than enjoying their meal.

‘We have a lot of loyal, repeat guests who don’t see this hotel as a hotel, they see Hotel du Cap as their summer home,’ Ms Volant told Travel Weekly. ‘We had to think about a solution.’

She said some non-hotel guests were arriving with bags of clothing and changing outfits several times for photo shoots at the property, which once hosted the likes of Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald.

‘To preserve the peace and privacy of all our guests, photo shoots are not permitted,’ the hotel website now states. Guests with photography requests are directed to the concierge.

Sofia Richie, 28, daughter of singer Lionel Richie, put the hotel on the map for influencers after she married her husband Elliot Grainge there in 2023.

How we fell out of love with fish in custard!

By Wiliam Hunter

FROM fish baked in custard to oyster soup, Britain's seafood menus were once far more adventurous than today.

A study has revealed the dizzying variety of dishes enjoyed by previous generations has largely disappeared over the past century. Researchers, who pored over thousands of meals featured in Good Housekeeping from 1923 to the present day,

found the nation is now hooked on just five species – with cod, haddock, tuna, salmon and prawns contributing 80 per cent of all fish eaten in the UK.

Dr Ruth Thurstan, of the University of Exeter, said it ‘reflects a narrowing of what readers were being encouraged to cook’. She gathered 1,192 recipes spanning a century. Prior to the 1970s, flat fish, herring and oysters were prominent.

From then, the study in People and Nature found more focus on the big five – coinciding with a decline in fish in UK waters as well as supermarkets and frozen foods becoming common.

Hackers launch a cold war by heating supermarket freezers

HACKERS have struck hundreds of supermarkets in France, defrosting their freezers and spoiling millions of pounds of food.

The attackers remotely triggered refrigeration systems to blow hot air at 50C, causing temperatures inside some of the fridges to reach 36C.

Around 100 Cooperative U and up to 300 Intermarche stores are said to have been hit.

Prosecutors have confirmed the breach, saying it prompted fires to break out overnight on Sunday.

The motive remains a mystery. Other food retailers, including

By Will Hallowell

Carrefour, Monoprix and E.Leclerc, are also believed to have been hit but are yet to comment.

Dominique Schelcher, chief executive of Cooperative U, said: 'Targeting equipment essential to the preservation of fresh products and to the food supply of the French people is extremely serious and is unprecedented. It is unacceptable.'

He added yesterday that the company's teams are ‘fully mobilised’ to restore the situation.

He said: 'An investigation will be necessary to shed full light on this attack.' Meanwhile, Intermarche said its staff will have to 'throw away all of the products' that are fresh and frozen.

It condemned the food waste and financial losses, without providing figures, and warned there could be problems with insurance policies which may not

'Losses of several million euros'

cover this type of in-store incident. The hackers reportedly targeted software from Danish firm Danfoss, which allows shops to manage cold units remotely.

Danfoss said it had identified the risk but the affected models were older and their security software could not be updated.

Groupement Mousquetaires, which owns Intermarche, told Le Figaro that it estimates losses of ‘several million euros’.

Prosecutors in Paris said an investigation has been opened into ‘the large-scale cyberattack affecting the refrigerators of several major food retail chains across France’.

The probe will help ‘identify the victims and establish the link with the damage they reported in terms of foodstuff losses and the outbreak of fires’.

In Haguenau, Bas-Rhin, near the German border, Intermarche store manager Sophie Matt said: 'After 25 years in the retail industry, I never thought this would happen to us. I've never experienced an attack like this.'

She said the branch was alerted when night-shift workers discovered the fridges were abnormally hot. Ms Matt estimates losses at her store of €50,000 (£42,000).

There is growing concern over the potential havoc that can be caused in Europe from cyberattacks by malicious actors.

President Emmanuel Macron, a strong supporter of Ukraine in its fight against Russia, last month ordered measures to protect critical infrastructure from Russian ‘hybrid attacks’.

by Dominic Midgley

ROMAN Abramovich has always had a no-nonsense approach to business. And when the state-owned Russian oil company Slavneft was put up for sale in 2002, the Moscow-based oligarch didn't mess about.

Unfortunately for the former owner of Chelsea FC, a Chinese oil giant called CNPC put in a bid double the £1.86billion that Abramovich was offering – and the men from Beijing headed to Russia to seal the deal.

As the Chinese delegation was leaving Moscow airport, a key member of the group was abducted at gunpoint.

The Chinese got the message. After hastily withdrawing from the auction, their kidnap victim was released, they took the next flight home – and Abramovich added another discount acquisition to his multi-billion energy empire.

Given his long record of financial chicanery, from stealing a trainload of diesel as a young man to giving a £10million bribe to a Kremlin official, it comes as no surprise that he was this week caught out in yet another money-making scam.

An investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme, screened last night,

Abramovich 'hid billions with help of top British accounting firm Deloitte'

Sanctioned: Billionaire Roman Abramovich

appears to show that associates of Abramovich conspired with British head-quartered Deloitte – the world's biggest accountancy firm – to falsify documents in a

---

The prospect of his vast wealth being exposed

bid to hide elements of his wealth and evade tax. The ‘dirty work’ was apparently carried out by a smaller company MeritServus, with Deloitte signing it all off.

Abramovich was one of many Russians who set up firms in the tax haven of Cyprus between 1995 and 2022 to squirrel away profits from their homeland.

But when the Cypriot government suddenly introduced a ‘transparency law’ that required accounts to be made public,

Abramovich faced the prospect of his vast wealth being exposed.

At the time the law was brought in, Deloitte Cyprus had prepared draft accounts for Abramovich's Cypriot company, Amiscan Investments, which owned many of his properties and playthings.

This included Fyning Hill, a 424-acre estate in West Sussex, his luxury apartment in London, the Chateau de la Croe in the South of France (formerly owned by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor), and his fleets of superyachts and private jets. This portfolio alone added up to £508million.

Horrified details may become public, Abramovich's associates and ‘corporate services firm’ MeritServus decided, as the BBC put it, to ‘rewrite history’.

MeritServus produced a set of accounts that purported to show the assets had been transferred to Amiscan's parent company in the British Virgin Islands in 2003, and so did not have to be declared. Instead of pushing back, Deloitte Cyprus signed off the new accounts that showed a balance of just \$75,000. MeritServus used a similar ploy to evade tax on the interest earned on two other massive Abramovich assets: the \$2billion lodged with his company Kravin Investments and \$10billion with Electus Investments.

In the case of Electus, after the transfer to the British Virgin Islands had been safely backdated, the public accounts in 2006 showed it had assets worth just \$145,000 (£110,000). Billions had simply ‘disappeared’.

All this came to light as a result of a leak in 2023 dubbed ‘Cyprus Confidential’ of more than 3.6 million documents from six Cypriot firms, including MeritServus.

Nobody is admitting any bad behaviour, of course. A law firm representing Abramovich, 59, told the BBC he was 'not involved in the day-to-day operation of those companies [Amiscan, Kravin and Electus]' and that, where arrangements were proposed by professional advisers, 'reliance on that advice was entirely proper and legitimate'.

Deloitte Cyprus said it could not comment because the documents were more than 20 years old and no longer accessible, while MeritServus closed following the Cyprus Confidential leak.

The foundation of Abramovich's wealth has long been mired in controversy. He made his billions by buying a state-owned oil company in a rigged auction in 1995, paying just £190 million for

Plonking saddlebags of cash on the desk

Sibneft, which he sold back to the Russian government for £10billion in 2005 – 52 times what he paid. A handful of the hustlers who obtained Russia's ‘family silver’ in deals with then president Boris Yeltsin during the 1990s soon landed ostentatiously on the streets of London.

Deloitte was just one of hundreds of blue-chip organisations that succumbed to the attraction of a quick buck. Private bankers, 'Magic Circle' lawyers, top-drawer accountants and high-end estate agents made small fortunes from the 'New Russians'. One estate agent described his Russian clients 'gleefully plonking saddlebags of cash on the desk'.

Sadly, for London's professional services firms, the Russian gravy train hit the buffers when Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022.

Abramovich was forced to sell his beloved Chelsea FC and the £2.5billion proceeds have been held in escrow ever since.

Meanwhile, his UK homes and those of other sanctioned oligarchs are locked in legal limbo and falling into disrepair.

These may prove to be dark days for the Deloittes of this world.

Russell Brand appears in court as rape and sex assault trial begins

Support: Brand with wife Laura

RUSSELL Brand appeared in court yesterday flanked by his family as he faces trial over rape and sex attack charges.

The 51-year-old comedian and actor walked into Southwark Crown Court hand-in-hand with his wife of nine years Laura Gallacher.

Inside the court, his wife was hugged by Brand's elderly father Ron who watched as jurors were selected to serve on the trial.

Wearing a grey suit, Brand sat staring straight ahead in the dock. He faces three charges of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one of indecent

Crime and Security Editor

assault alleged to have occurred between 1999 and 2009. He denies all the charges which relate to alleged attacks on six women.

The judge told potential jurors: 'We are about to start the trial of Russell Brand who you may have heard of. Two or three years ago there was a TV programme and there was an article in The Times in which allegations were made against him of sexual misconduct. They were allegations he firmly denied.'

The Times, Sunday Times and Channel 4's Dispatches had run a joint investigation into Brand.

Yesterday Mr Justice Bennathan excused six jurors after they indicated they had read or seen some reporting of sexual misconduct allegations against Brand.

The Metropolitan Police began investigating Brand in September 2023. He has been charged with raping a woman in a hotel room in Bournemouth. He is also alleged to have tried to drag a woman into a lavatory in 2001.

Other charges state he sexually assaulted a television worker in London in 2004. In the same year he is alleged to have grabbed a radio station worker's face, and kissed and groped her.

The trial, which is expected to last six weeks, is expected to open tomorrow.

Reform vows to shut UK asylum system for 5 years

NIGEL Farage yesterday vowed to shut down Britain's asylum system for five years if he is elected as prime minister as he posed in front of a 43ft replica migrant dinghy.

to hammer home that Britain no longer merely faces a ‘small boat crisis’, was front and centre at the Reform UK leader’s press conference focused on ending migration into the UK.

Mr Farage was dwarfed by the replica inflatable, which Reform said was a full-scale model of the boat used to bring a record 230 migrants to Britain in a single Channel crossing in August.

He pledged to suspend the asylum system entirely for the first term of a Reform UK government, with 90,000 outstanding claimants being automatically refused and deported – including women and children.

His government would also close official resettlement schemes, such as those for Afghan refugees, which brought in nearly half a million people between 2015 and 2022.

Reform said it would conduct a full assessment of those previously granted refugee status, revoking it from those who were granted it after arriving via small boat, or whose country of origin is now deemed safe.

The party's policies to tackle both asylum, illegal migrants and foreign-born criminals would engage every facet of the British state to either manually deport those who should not be in the country, or force them to go home voluntarily.

Mr Farage insisted that Reform's latest migrant crackdown pledge is not ‘radical or crazy’, but a return to what any ‘normal country that puts security at the top of the agenda’ should be expected to do.

Following the RAF Fairfield incident last month, Mr Farage said he had been proved right after warning

'Government is not doing its job'

that foreign enemies such as Iran would use the Channel migrants crisis to undermine Britain's security.

He said: 'I warned Parliament more than once that I had intelligence that the Iranian regime was using the small boats crisis to smuggle their operatives in the room. Do you know the response I got from the Labour benches? They shouted, "Shame on you! Shame on you!" Well, shame on them.

‘This Government is not doing its job; it is not protecting the national security of this country, and of course, once again, sadly, I’ve been proved to be right.’

Reform's policy dossier said any country refusing to accept deportation flights would be threatened with visa bans, tariffs on goods, or even bans on the country's airlines using British airspace. It singled out Pakistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Afghanistan and Sudan. Mr Farage referenced the recent row after Pakistan refused to accept the deportation of Rochdale grooming gang leader Shabir Ahmed. He warned: 'I'm sorry, Pakistan, but you need to take back that man now living freely in the north-west of England.

'If that means, in the case of Pakistan, that we have to bring in visa bans, we'll do so. If it means threatening Pakistani nationals' assets in London, we will do so. If it means introducing flight bans, we will do so. And in extremis, we'd even look at tariffs. People will accept their bad guys back.'

Other strategies announced at the Reform event in Hythe, Kent, included visa checks during food hygiene inspections at restaurants.

Neighbours will also be encouraged to report suspected incidents of ‘invisible’ illegal house-sharing, while local councils will be urged to use aerial imaging.

Home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf pledged that a Reform government ‘will point every organ of the state in service of one people, and one people alone: the British people’.

Labour chairman Bridget Phillipson said Reform's announcement was ‘a clear sign of desperation and weakness’ to distract from the ongoing questions about donations.

Home Secretary: MPs need more protection

HOME Secretary Shabana Mahmood admitted yesterday that MPs are not granted enough protection as she announced a review of VIPs' security.

It comes as Nigel Farage slammed ministers for failing to heed his pleas for protection, while Prince Harry has been locked in a battle with the Home Office over his security arrangements.

The Reform UK leader has ratcheted up pressure on Labour to increase his taxpayer-funded security after colleague Ann Widdecombe was bludgeoned to death in her own home in July.

Her alleged killer – said in court last week to be motivated by an extreme Left-wing mindset and ‘hostility to Reform’ – was later

linked by investigators to an incident at the London home of Mr Farage in April last year.

The Home Office said security arrangements for public figures, including the Royal Family, will be 'urgently examined to ensure those most at risk are better protected amid rising threats to their safety'.

Ms Mahmood told MPs: 'It is clear there is insufficient protection for those who serve. I can therefore announce today that I will expand, with immediate effect, police support to political figures who are not currently members of Parliament. This will include former MPs, peers and party spokespeople.'

This is our plan to stop the boats. Now I challenge Open Borders Burnham to call a general election

Packed: The mega-dinghy carrying 230 migrants in the Channel in August

COMMENTARY By Nigel Farage MP

LEADER OF REFORM UK

A LL the way back on May 9, 2020 – when it was already clear that large numbers of illegal migrants were sailing across the Channel – I warned on social media: ‘This is the beginning of an invasion.’

It sparked a chorus of condemnation from the woke Left. But the very next day, I went on LBC radio and reinforced my point.

I didn't choose that word lightly. But was I wrong? That year, almost 8,500 boat migrants landed on the South Coast (compared to 1,800 in 2019 and just 300 in 2018). In 2021, some 28,526 made the crossing; by 2022, it was a whopping 45,774; and last year at least 41,472 came over.

In total, more than 200,000 migrants have now sailed across the Channel. If that's not an invasion, I don't know what is.

This problem festered under the Tories as well as Labour.

For years the two largest parties in Parliament and their friends in the establishment media have referred to the invasion as a 'small boats crisis' – as if it were an unavoidable act of God, like an earthquake.

BUT the ‘crisis’ only continues because what I call the ‘uniparty’ has failed for years to do what’s necessary to stop it. Don’t take my word for it: the voters know it, too. According to a recent poll by Ipsos, just 16 per cent of British people now say they trust Labour the most on immigration – and a humiliating 9 per cent say the Conservative Party.

As Daily Mail readers well know, the scale of these boats increasingly beggars belief. From the small and rickety inflatables carrying just a handful of people a few years ago, today giant ‘mega-dinghies’ ferry up to 230 individuals at a time – the sort of passenger load you expect on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

We have to end this madness. That's why, in Dover yesterday, I announced detailed plans drawn up by our impressive Reform UK policy team.

At our conference in Birmingham in September, we had already pledged to stop the boats completely in our first 100 days in office, with Operation Fortress – our blueprint for deploying the Royal Navy in the Channel – as its backbone. That plan has been endorsed by Commander Chris Grace Royal Navy (Retd) and former Merchant Navy marine engineer John Cail.

On top of that, Jordan Bardella – the favourite to be France’s next prime minister – joined me on stage at the NEC to sign a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ that his country would take back boat migrants in a wider bid to stop the crossings entirely.

Now, our newly announced Operation Restoring Justice will implement domestic deterrents that will make it impossible for illegal migrants to continue living in Britain, abusing our generosity.

At the moment, whatever Burnham claims, the single biggest draw to these men (and they are mostly men) is the prospect of a lifetime on benefits at the expense of the British taxpayer – or, for the truly ambitious, working illegally on the black market.

Incredibly, some 1.3million migrants now claim universal credit, with another 52,000 entitled to stay here under what's called 'humanitarian protection'. This is costing the country billions. Equally astonishingly, last year almost one in 40 social homes went to so-called 'refugees'.

Well, under a Reform government, access to universal credit, housing benefit, free childcare and most non-contributory benefits will be restricted to British citizens only.

Meanwhile, our ‘Deliveroo Law’ will make bosses of large companies personally and criminally liable for profiting from illegal working. We’ll give councils the power to run immigration checks when they inspect premises such as restaurants and domestic properties – and, of course, we’ll end the use of migrant hotels.

Reform UK is also the only party that will close all ‘resettlement’ schemes, which have seen thousands of undeserving people brought here.

Anyone arriving through Labour's soon-to-be 'reopened' routes can expect their right to remain revoked – and to be deported.

Naturally, to achieve much of this, we must leave the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal the Human Rights Act, pass the Illegal Migration (Mass Deportations) Bill and disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention.

HOSE countries that refuse to take back their own nationals who have illegally invaded our shores will face visa bans or tariffs. In extreme cases we will use third-country deals to deport these people elsewhere.

Finally, we will publish full data on the nationalities of criminal offenders – data that successive governments have disgracefully kept hidden from the British people.

In short, Reform UK will use every organ of the state to make it impossible for people to continue living in our country illegally.

We have now set out the most comprehensive, unapologetic and realistic plan to end the illegal-migration scam and secure our borders.

Time is running out. I challenge Open Borders Burnham to call an election and let voters decide who they want in Downing Street.

COMMENT

A sorry attempt to impugn Brexit vote

ANDY Burnham's allegation of ‘clear’ Russian interference in the Brexit vote was a slur on the legitimacy of that historic referendum.

Boris Johnson, who was running the Foreign Office in 2016, yesterday dismissed the Prime Minister's remarks as 'just not true'.

Further still, Mr Johnson cited conversations he had with the security services at the time, and said either they had changed their view – which is unlikely – or Mr Burnham was ‘lying’.

The PM's comments led to rapid backtracking by Downing Street.

So why did he bring it up at all?

The answer, of course, is that he cannot accept that Britain left the European Union as the result of a democratic decision.

He is attempting to pave the way for what he hopes will be ever-closer alignment with Brussels, even suggesting yesterday it would be a ‘dereliction of duty’ not to do so.

But here is a dose of Russian truth serum for the PM: the public are not interested in this backward-looking stance.

If he attempts to force a return to the bloc it would most likely involve immensely punitive costs, ditching the pound for the euro and the return of unfettered free movement of people – which British voters will surely not be willing to tolerate.

Get a grip on AI

ARTIFICIAL intelligence is running dangerously out of control and, absurdly, there is an unwillingness by governments around the world to address proper regulation.

It has emerged that AI was used by Iranian-backed Houthis to develop advanced missile guidance systems.

Meanwhile, the Microsoft boss observes that mundane products such as milk and washing machines are under greater regulation than AI.

Why is it that governments find it so difficult to impose safety restrictions on internet technology? For years, the web as a whole has been a cesspit of fraud, child sex abuse, revolting pornography and other criminality, where decent standards of human behaviour simply do not seem to apply.

It may be that politicians are reluctant to interfere with ‘the future’.

But if AI technology goes wrong it has the potential to shut down every aspect of modern life, or worse.

The Government's plan, published yesterday, is not up to the job.

Serious figures with detailed knowledge of computing are issuing warnings on an almost daily basis about the grave threat posed by AI. They should be heeded.

Labour is increasingly isolated in its approach to asylum and the small-boats crisis. It is content with merely tinkering at the edges, with slight adjustments to policy and the law. This is not good enough, and will never defeat the monstrous people-trafficking gangs. Both Reform and Restore set out radical proposals yesterday, while the Conservatives have developed serious plans to leave the European human rights convention and enforce large-scale deportations of illegal migrants. Meanwhile, Labour is shackled by its need to placate its own Left wing, in the hope of winning votes from the Lib Dems and the Greens.

Plainly, this Government does not have the courage to do what is necessary.

Trump boasted he would make America great again. What irony that he's now presiding over its slow demise as a superpower

ONALD Trump has never been short of hubris in his self-declared

role as a negotiator of world peace.

When sworn in for the second time in January last year, the 47th US President claimed he would be ushering in a new era: 'My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier,' he proclaimed.

Last week, following the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to UN human rights commissioner Navanethem Pillay and his evident belief it should have gone to him, he went further: 'I saved more lives than anyone in history.'

And yet since his inauguration it has become abundantly clear this president's most enduring legacy may well be the greatest threat to the world order for decades.

From the battlefields of Ukraine to the oil-rich Persian Gulf and volatile waters of the Red Sea, the consequences of Trump's erratic foreign policy are being felt across the globe.

Chilling

At precisely the moment when the world desperately needs calm, experienced leadership, with 130 armed conflicts raging globally, it finds itself dependent on a US president whose capricious behaviour is undermining international stability.

Just this weekend the missile attacks on Riyadh airport by Yemen's Houthi rebels, which killed 14 people and injured hundreds more, represented a chilling and unprecedented escalation in a Middle Eastern conflict threatening to plunge the global markets into chaos.

For those in Saudi Arabia and beyond, it is a terrifying reality that the Houthis, an Iranian-backed militia whose fighters have often been dismissed as little more than barefoot tribesmen, now not only have the capacity to throw the Arab world's largest economy into turmoil but also to inflict such economic damage on the West that it could dwarf the ongoing war between America and Iran.

To date, much attention has been focused on Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which enormous quantities of the world's oil and gas ordinarily pass. The disruption sent shockwaves through energy markets, caused prices to soar and worryingly threatened supplies of fuel and fertiliser, the lifeblood of industrial and agricultural production.

But several hundred miles to the south-west lies another maritime bottleneck that might yet prove even more damaging, particularly for Britain and Europe.

The Bab al-Mandab Strait, separating Yemen from the Horn of Africa, is the gateway to the Red Sea and, ultimately, the Suez Canal.

It is one of the great arteries of international commerce, carrying not only oil and liquefied natural gas but container ships transporting everything from Chinese cars to Japanese electronics and white goods. If the Houthis succeed in closing this passage, the consequences could be catastrophic.

The Red Sea corridor handles roughly 30 per cent of global container traffic and, while it is one thing to pay more to fill your car, it is quite another when the supply of vehicles, fridges, washing machines and pretty much everything else is suddenly imperilled.

This is not a theoretical threat. The Houthis have demonstrated through their attacks on Riyadh airport that they possess missiles and drones capable of penetrating defences in Saudi, a country that has spent billions on sophisticated military equipment.

And at a moment when the future of world trade has seldom looked more vulnerable, the current US president is so unpredictable we can no longer assume Washington would intervene in the Bab al-Mandab Strait to protect global commercial shipping.

While the US Navy may have done so under Joe Biden - in 2024 American carrier strike groups were deployed to counter Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, albeit ineffectively - the current US President has demonstrated an alarming unwillingness to protect by Mark

Almond

anything other than Ameri-

can interests.

Only last month, for example, he called off a missile strike against the Houthis in return for a guarantee that attacks on US vessels in the area would not take place. And he will be fully aware that if he launches strikes, the Houthis may well attack US bases in the Middle East.

The truth is, for all his bellicose rhetoric, President Trump looks desperately weak when confronted with the realities of international power. Trump supporters believed they were electing an ‘America First’ president who would extricate them from expensive foreign entanglements, rebuild the economy and end the military adventures of past administrations.

Instead, their erstwhile hero has achieved almost precisely the opposite. And with the midterm elections fast approaching, the president is staring the political consequences of his overseas adventures in the face.

American voters are unlikely to reward a president who made fuel bills and everyday life so much more expensive as a direct consequence of his military escapades. With three weeks to go before the vote, polls show he is failing to arrest his declining popularity.

---

Unravel

Which is why Trump decided to ease sanctions on Russian diesel, pursuing short-term political expediency at the expense of long-term international stability.

For years, Western policy towards Vladimir Putin has rested on the principle that Russia must pay an economic price for invading Ukraine.

Yet now the American President is prepared to loosen those restrictions to ease the energy crisis and attempt to bring down prices in the US.

The message this sends out is beyond appalling. While Western sanctions have never been watertight, and European countries have permitted exceptions when vital economic interests were at stake, there is a big difference between limited exemptions and the world's most powerful democracy handing Russia a lifeline. It raises the possibility that the West's entire strategy towards Ukraine could unravel.

At the same time, Trump continues to espouse extravagant and fantastical claims about his diplomatic achievements. He wrote on Sunday: 'Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed.'

This was greeted with surprise in Kyiv, where Russian attacks continued.

The louder the threats and more extravagant the pronouncements, the greater the impression of a man desperately posturing while events slip beyond his control.

---

Disastrous

Certainly, these crises cannot be considered separately. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has disrupted our access to energy supplies from eastern Europe while the confrontation with Iran has threatened supplies from the Persian Gulf. Now the Houthi escalation threatens a crucial commercial route linking Europe to Asia. In effect we are facing a disastrous triple whammy.

While Trump blusters, Britain and France may promise assistance to Saudi Arabia, but neither possesses the resources required to replace American power, for so long the guarantor of international security and free trade.

And herein lies perhaps the most unsettling prospect of all. It may fall to China, possibly alongside India, to broker an agreement between the Houthis, Iran and Saudi Arabia that removes the threat to international commerce.

Beijing has every reason to want this outcome, with its export economy depending on functioning trade routes. Yet their intervention would be one of the most troubling kind: what might this authoritarian state ask in return?

The erosion of America's world leadership did not begin with Trump. But under this president it is accelerating at a terrifying pace.

The bitter irony is that the man who promised to make America great again may instead preside over its great dismantling as an international superpower.

IS YOUR organisation menopause-friendly? Is the CEO wearing a special ribbon in this Menopause Awareness Month? Do you drink out of special pink and purple mugs? Have you been furnished with downloadable menopause 'toolkits'? Has HR hosted any Menopause Awareness bake sales?

In recent years menopause has gone from taboo to trendy, not only a part of everyday corporate culture but celebrated even – complete with branded office merchandise. After all, what says progress better than an ‘I’m a Menopause Advocate’ lanyard?

As a 45-year-old woman who can't be a million miles away from The Change myself, I'm grateful that this subject is no longer wreathed in secrecy and shame – but concerned that well-meaning campaigning is shooting middle-aged working women in the foot.

Let's be clear: no one wants to return to the bad old days when menopause was unmentionable or the subject only of unscientific old wives' tales. But has the pendulum swung too far to extreme awareness? I fear so.

We have been bombarded with stories about women's struggles during the menopause. We know that Halle Berry's doctor misdiagnosed her vaginal symptoms as herpes; that Gwyneth Paltrow experienced sweating and furious moods; that Oprah Winfrey had heart palpitations and Brooke Shields night sweats.

Davina McCall's documentaries raised the profile of menopause in the UK, and in her wake came many celebrities sharing their stories: Lorraine Kelly, Gabby Logan, Mariella Frostrup, Gillian Anderson, Julie Walters, Penny Lancaster. Menopause influencers have millions of followers, while high-profile experts such as Dr Louise Newson sell out theatres nationwide to audiences desperate to hear how they might be helped by HRT or other treatments.

None of these women should be criticised for trying to help others navigate this life change. Get to the GP, clarify your symptoms, know they are treatable. Amen to all that. But while individual campaigners mean well, collectively they have helped create the impression that the average 40-year-old woman is a ticking time bomb, shortly to suffer an emotional and physical explosion.

HIS is extremely unhelpful when it comes to the reputation of women in the workplace. The 2025 Employment Rights Act brought in a new law: all large businesses in the UK (those with more than 250 employees) will have to create

From next year, many firms will have to bring in a Menopause Action Plan. As a study challenges the claims made by campaigners...

Why Davina, Mariella & Co have set women back decades in the workplace

and publish something called a Menopause Action Plan by next spring. The Government is insisting that businesses choose a minimum of two actions from an official list, such as conducting a ‘menopause risk assessment’ or setting up support groups.

Yes, at a time when growth is anaemic, Britain is forcing fast-growing businesses to spend time not on winning new contracts but on establishing Menopause Champions, Menopause Deputies and Menopause Committees.

Unfortunately, though, this policy has been driven not by data but by well-meaning waffle.

This is the opinion of one of the leading menopause researchers in the world. Professor Susan Davis, of Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, has been an expert on the subject for four decades. Of the Government's decision to force companies to adopt

Menopause Action Plans, she told me: 'Policy should be based on strong data. This isn't.'

She points to a parliamentary report by the Women and Equalities Committee in 2022, which stated that almost 900,000 women in the UK had left their jobs because of menopausal symptoms. But hang on a minute – there are fewer than five million women in their 50s in the UK.

‘Where on earth did that data come from, that 900,000 women had left the workforce?’ asks Professor Davis. The answer, it turns out, is a ‘marketing survey’ of women of all ages. ‘They only assessed 1,000 women, and [in the 900,000 extrapolated figure] included those who had left work because of things like pregnancy and infertility,’ she says.

Frustrated at such flimsy – or indeed non-existent – evidence,

Professor Davis led a team of researchers on the highly rigorous Australian Women's Midlife Years survey, presented at the International Menopause Society Congress in Brazil earlier this month.

The study analysed 8,000 Australian women between 40 and 69, looking not only at menopausal status but employment, family, alcohol consumption and so on. Its focus was on perimenopause, since it is during that time that peak symptoms can occur.

The study's central finding is a bombshell: when it comes to work ability, days off from work and being impaired at work, there was no difference between premenopausal and perimenopausal women. Zero. Zilch. None.

This shatters the assumption at the heart of the Government's strategy. It makes a nonsense of the idea that every office needs a Menopause Champion. And it reveals how politicians will ignore the need for evidence in their desire to support ‘progressive’ causes.

The trouble with this cause is that it threatens to set back progress. As Professor Davis says: 'There's the potential that this will backfire, with employers seeing a woman aged between 45 and 55 and automatically assuming they will have issues because the woman is perimenopausal.'

Pictures: PA/MONASH UNIVERSITY

She is right, of course. Imagine a business owner looking for a new senior hire. His final candidates are both 45: a woman and a man. The woman is better qualified, but he's read about ladies becoming emotional wrecks around this time of life. What kind of 'reasonable adjustments' might she ask for when hitting the menopause?

Demonstration: From left, Mariella Frostrup, Carolyn Harris MP, Penny Lancaster and Davina McCall. Above: Professor Susan Davis

Expensive air-conditioning? Months of paid leave? He can't take the risk, so hires the man.

Menopause campaigners might think they have done women a favour by highlighting the struggles that women can face. But, alas, they have inadvertently pushed the notion that women in their 40s and 50s are all at the mercy of their hormones, plagued by brain fog, mood swings, hot flushes and fatigue.

All this feeds into the bias that women are the weaker sex, in need of special treatment.

I cannot help but wonder whether the growing numbers of highly accomplished women finding it nigh-on impossible to find work in their late 40s and 50s might be the victims of all this. On Facebook groups and online forums you will find hordes of them with dazzling CVs, decades of experience – and diddly squat in terms of job offers.

HEN you think of the decades-long battles for women's equality in the

workplace, this is a tragedy. That fight hasn't just been waged in strikes for equal pay, but in countless small acts by individual women too: staying later to show they can do the job, speaking up in the boardroom even when being patronised.

It has been a long, hard slog to prove that women can be as capable as men; just as fierce in chasing profit, just as effective in leading teams, just as strong in making tough decisions. Now, this perception that we will all suffer debilitating symptoms in the prime of our working lives threatens to undo that progress. Why not hang a 'Do Not Employ' sign around our neck at 45 and be done with it.

Of course, employers should be understanding to women who are having a hard time during the menopause, just as they should for women or men going through any difficulties: depression, bereavement, caring for sick loved ones.

As Professor Davis says: 'Employers should be sympathetic to all employees. But singling out middle-aged women with this hyper-focus on menopause just isn't helpful. Rather than Menopause Action Plans or giving every woman a fan, we just need to ensure our health systems are geared up so that every woman who is struggling with menopause gets proper help.' Indeed.

When the law changes next spring and employers are forced by law to draw up Menopause Action Plans, expect great crowing from campaigners about the ‘victory’ they have won. Alas, it is a Pyrrhic victory for women like me.

Through tattered clothes small vices do appear. Robes and furred gowns hide all.

William Shakespeare, from King Lear

Meghan has started a media war – here's how Kate can win it

LOVE her or loathe her, that Meghan knows how to snatch the spotlight.

When news broke that the Sussexes were back on British soil, many of us assumed they would lay low for a while, such is their obsession with privacy and security.

Not so. The past week has been marked by a renewed media blitz from the Duchess and all eyes are on her again.

Which is exactly how she wants it to be. Take Sunday, when a video emerged showing Princess Catherine with daughter Charlotte on the Underground, travelling into London for a private appointment.

Of course, there was a security detail present, but Kate was apparently happy to take public transport and give Charlotte a taste of normal life. According to witnesses she chatted with the other travellers, checked her mobile phone and laughed and joked with her daughter.

Within minutes of the video, surreptitiously filmed by a fellow passenger, appearing on a newspaper website, Meghan posted to her Instagram page a video of her own children on a stroll in the countryside. Both wearing backpacks, Archie, seven, pushed a scooter and Lilibet, five, followed, while the family dog trailed behind.

Was the timing a coincidence? In my opinion, it wasn't. Meghan knows exactly how to divert attention her way.

On Thursday, Meghan and Harry will be undertaking their first ‘royal-style’ engagement since their return, in Nottingham – the city where they made their first appearance after announcing their engagement in 2017.

There will be a Press announcement and briefings, making it clear they see themselves as public figures and not ‘private citizens’ as the King decreed in a statement recently. Indeed, one could interpret this as a very pointed snub to His Majesty.

I believe Meghan's intentions to establish her own unofficial branch of the Royal Family have become crystal clear in the past few days, starting with her appearance outside Claridge's Hotel with Nobel prize-winner and human rights activist Malala Yousafzai last Wednesday. The pair had enjoyed afternoon tea together and their exit from the hotel was scarcely discreet to the joy of the paparazzi who just happened to be on hand.

Meghan who, incidentally, looked completely swamped in her £26,000-plus outfit, seized the moment – and our attention. The purpose of the meeting emerged at the weekend when Meghan used her Instagram page to announce a partnership with Malala to mark the International Day Of The Girl on Sunday. She revealed all proceeds from that day's sale of jams and teas from her lifestyle brand As Ever would go to the Malala Fund, 'to ensure every girl has access to free, safe, quality education'.

SHORTLY after, another post revealed that she had partnered with the LA-based motherhood charity Moms Offering More, on a £75 special-edition sweatshirt with 'It's the little things' embroidered on the sleeve. The artful, relaxed shot of her wearing it – which made several front pages yesterday, including the Mail's – ensured it sold out in minutes.

The Royal Family had better watch out, because Meghan is back and means business – and is intent on becoming queen of the news cycle.

How should Kate respond? I admire our future Queen very much and I suspect her instinctive reaction will be to ignore Meghan's 'look-at-me antics' and continue with her duties, charitable endeavours and family life.

But this is media war and I want her to win. She and her team must ensure that her public persona is as captivating and as compelling as the causes she represents.

She has been through the mother of all health battles, and no one will know the meaning of the words ‘it’s the little things’ better than Kate.

However, her current public image needs a 'glow up'. Yes, she always looks impeccably dressed and stylish, but dare I say she's lost a bit of her va va voom since she made it clear that a focus on her work rather than what she's wearing is what she wants.

But, Kate, we can be interested in both!

Meghan has an advantage because she's not constrained by royal convention and can wear whatever she likes – be as informal or glam as she

That's the way to do it: Kate dazzles at a premiere in 2021

chooses – and she can handpick the events she attends.

She can also post whatever winsome photographs of herself on social media to her heart's content.

We are treated to glimpses of glamour with Kate – when she wears a stunning Jenny Packham gown on a red carpet, for instance – but not often enough.

In contrast with Meghan's brand, Kate's image is in danger of becoming stale. Perhaps she needs a fresh PR strategy and a new stylist.

Kate can take comfort from the fact that Meghan will always be B-list – and will never be queen of anything. And where Meghan can appear shallow and flighty, Kate has substance and commitment to duty.

Ultimately I know the British public recognise what is important: not carefully curated social media feeds and staged paparazzi shots, but class and steadfastness.

We will always have Kate's back – but just a little bit of the old sparkle wouldn't go amiss.

Don't miss this test, it's a lifesaver

MY NHS bowel cancer screening kit arrived this morning. I've laid it out ready in the bathroom and as yucky as it can be to take a faecal sample, I will do it and return it immediately in the post.

Seven years ago, when my late husband Paul was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer and given four months to live, he confessed that he'd received his kit eight months earlier. But he didn't get round to it – 'too busy' was his sheepish excuse.

By then it was too late for recriminations but for our family, it was the cruellest life lesson learnt. If Paul had done the test, then just maybe he'd still be with us.

Anyone between the ages of 50-74 who is registered with a GP should receive a kit every two years as part of the £300million-a-year NHS bowel screening programme. It's fiddly to do but straightforward and is saving precious lives daily.

When yours arrives, just do it. You may think you're fine, symptom-free and are maybe just a bit squeamish about it, but your life could depend upon it.

AS I PREDICTED, Richard E. Grant was the first Traitor to be voted off on The Celebrity Traitors. And since the enigmatic actor – for me he was the real star of the show – left, there has been a shift in the vibe at Ardross Castle.

The comedian, Traitor James Acaster, became so stressed producers had to pause filming. There are also claims that contestants have been at each other's throats as tension and paranoia kicked in. Something is very off and this series is unlikely to match the sparkle and intrigue of the first Celebrity Traitors.

It's not Claudia's fault. She doesn't miss a beat. I think the below average comedians - all today's comedians are below average when you grew up with the likes of Tommy Cooper, Les Dawson and Bob Monkhouse - are to blame for the mean-natured competitiveness now taking hold.

We can only hope things improve but I'm not holding my breath...

NIGEL Farage has pledged to close our borders to asylum seekers for five years if there is a Reform government after the next election. As he said yesterday, it's the only way to bring illegal migrant numbers down. The measure would include voiding pending applications and marking new and current applications for deportation. It's the only way to save our country – and the NHS.

Freddie Foreman 1932-2026

Why do people lionise Brown Bread Fred, the Kray crony who murdered their enemies with such relish?

---

by Richard Kay

FOR the best part of 50 years, Freddie Foreman rode shot-gun on the coat-tails of London's lowlife. A teenage petty thief and thug, he rose by degrees – and by the extreme violence he was prepared to administer – into a notorious armed robber and vicious gangland enforcer.

A man who at one of his Old Bailey trials – he earned spurious criminal celebrity having been acquitted of murder a record four times – was said to have ripped out the heart of one of his victims after he and an associate shot him dead at point blank range.

Yet when his death, aged 94, in a care home was announced at the weekend, this former hitman for the Kray Twins was saluted by many on social media as no more than a lovable rogue. 'A sound geezer,' wrote one admirer; 'Legend,' said another: 'Old school ... a gentleman ... they don't make them like this no more'.

A Facebook page was full of similar misguided eulogies. '[If] Foreman etc were still running the underworld the civilian world for women and kids would be a lot safer...' This, of course, was the cuddly image Foreman liked to play up to: a villain, yes, but one admired as well as feared, firm but fair.

When in the 1990s he published his memoirs Respect – The Managing Director of British Crime, he was feted with a launch party at the Cafe Royal – Oscar Wilde's old haunt on London's Piccadilly – surrounded by a cavalcade of smiling minor celebrities, including the late EastEnders star Barbara Windsor.

It was not quite as glittering as the days when Ronnie and Reggie Kray played host to Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Hollywood hardman George Raft – and, of course, Windsor herself – but impressive nonetheless.

DESPITE his reputation for brutality and a hefty prison record - he spent 16 years in 15 different jails – he presented himself on television chat shows as a reformed gangster denouncing the false allure that clung to Swinging Sixties mobsters – while at the same time apparently celebrating it.

‘There’s no glamour in being locked up,’ he declaimed. But the real crime seemed to lie in getting caught, for he remained in touch with the Krays while they were in prison and was a pallbearer at Ronnie’s funeral in 1995.

He was known as ‘Brown Bread’ Fred: Cockney rhyming slang for ‘dead’, and a reference to the body count for which he claimed responsibility. Chief among these were two notorious 1960s killings, the murder of Frank ‘Mad Axeman’ Mitchell and a few months later that of Jack ‘the Hat’ McVitie.

Mitchell, a psychotic hooligan, had been sprung from Dartmoor prison by the Krays to boost their status in the underworld.

His daring escape led to a political storm over the negligent security around a man described by newspapers as ‘Britain’s most violent convict’.

But while the breakout did indeed make the Krays famous, Mitchell's volatility became a problem for the twins, and they decided to have him killed.

On Christmas Eve 1966, Foreman and an accomplice lured Mitchell into the back of a van on the pretext that they were moving him to a new safe house. As the door slammed, Foreman drew a silenced handgun, and the other gangster took out a revolver. The shot him 15 times, including three times to the heart and twice to the head.

At his subsequent trial the jury heard how Foreman had described to another associate cutting up the body and that Mitchell ‘had a tiny brain’, cupping his hands to show how small it was. Although acquitted – the associate’s evidence was ruled inadmissible – Foreman later confessed, claiming it was revenge for the shooting of his brother.

For years after his disappearance, the Mad Axeman was believed to be encased in a concrete pillar of the M11 motorway. But in his autobiography, Foreman said he had trussed the body in chicken wire, weighted it and dumped it in the Channel.

The book also solved the mystery of what happened to Ginger Marks, a used car dealer shot outside a Bethnal Green nightclub owned by the Krays in 1965. His body too was never found, and the killing remained unsolved until an informant named Foreman. The lack of positive identification prevented a guilty verdict, though Foreman admitted the shooting in his memoir.

By the time of his acquittal in 1975, ‘Brown Bread’ Fred was already serving a ten-year sentence for being an accessory to the murder of McVitie, who had been savagely stabbed to death by Reggie Kray at a party in Stoke Newington in 1967.

The Krays had paid McVitie to kill Leslie ‘the Brain’ Payne, a former business associate who had crossed the twins.

When justice finally caught up with the Krays for the murder of McVitie and another criminal, George Cornell who had unwisely called the homosexual Ronnie a 'big fat poof', Foreman was found guilty of having disposed of McVitie's body.

While Foreman relished his years as a figure in the cult that surrounded the Krays' 'firm', he disavowed the 'godfather' status given by the media and preferred to be known simply as 'one of the chaps'.

He always denied rumours that he took part in the Great Train Robbery of 1963 – and would surely have boasted of it, were it true – but did claim he had been sounded out as a potential participant. Whatever the truth – and he was never arrested in connection with the so-called crime of the century – he claimed to have organised robber Ronnie Biggs's spectacular escape from Wandsworth prison two years later.

Notorious: Ronnie Kray, centre, with Maureen Foreman and her husband Freddie, also above

Foreman was born in Battersea, south London in 1932, the youngest of five brothers. His Irish father had fought on the Somme in the First World War but later served prison sentences for assault and battery. His middle-class mother was, ironically, a sister of Durham's chief constable.

He grew up watching bare-knuckle fights and was sent to a gym in Soho to learn to box. On leaving school at 14 he had a string of manual jobs and was soon involved in petty crime as a 'spiv' trading stolen goods on the black market. When his mother, on whom he doted (a prerequisite for gangsters), found a gun in his bedroom, she is said to have remarked: 'Fred Foreman, you're going to end up hanging from a noose.'

By the early 1950s he was running his own gang, whose members included Great Train Robbers Buster Edwards and Tommy Wisbey. He also worked with an all-women shoplifting gang known as the Forty Thieves, who targeted West End stores such as Harrods stealing furs and stuffing their underwear with jewellery.

The proceeds of crime, which by now included robbing post offices, were invested into ‘legit’ businesses that dealt in cash: a gym, a pub and betting shops. It was while on the run from one robbery that he met the Krays who gave him the use of a flat behind the Blind Beggar pub in Stepney.

After serving six years of his sentence for disposing of McVitie, he bought into a pool hall business that earned him £3,000 a

He was lured back by an invitation to be involved in what would be Britain's biggest ever cash robbery – on the headquarters of Security Express in London in 1983. Foreman was one of six armed and masked men who escaped with £7 million. During the raid a guard was blindfolded, doused with petrol and threatened with being burned alive.

week. He was not straight for long. After a customs officer was killed during a botched raid in which he had a peripheral role, Foreman fled to the US.

Later Foreman, who went to ground in Spain, a bolthole for British criminals, boasted: 'We gave the guards tea, and no one went to hospital and I am proud of that.' But after six years he was arrested and extradited to Britain still in his shorts and flip-flops and jailed for nine years for handling stolen money.

Did crime pay for Brown Bread? Certainly, he educated his two sons in fee-paying schools. But he was separated from his wife Maureen at the time of her death in 2015 and was reported to be penniless and estranged from his family three years later. His final days were spent in a Maida Vale nursing home – where he kept a framed photograph of the Krays on his bedside table.

Rib injury forces 'gutted' Delta to miss next Strictly

By Bethan Edwards

AFTER salsa-ing her way to the top of Strictly's leaderboard on Saturday night, a rib injury has forced Delta Goodrem to pull out of this weekend's show.

The 41-year-old Australian singer is ‘heartbroken’ to be missing Icons Week, but along with her professional partner Kai Widdrington will be given a bye into next week.

Ms Goodrem, who was set to portray Olivia Newton-John, explained she is ‘absolutely gutted’ but has been ‘advised by doctors to rest’.

She gave a statement to the BBC Two spin-off It Takes Two on Monday, saying: 'I'm absolutely gutted that a rib injury means I won't be able to dance on Strictly this week.

'I've been loving every second of this experience, so having to sit this one out is heartbreaking - especially after the high of Saturday night. Hopefully I'll be back on that dancefloor very soon. Thank you so much to everyone for all the love and support. It's so appreciated.

Out for a week: Kai and Delta

‘I’ll be cheering everyone on from the sidelines this week!’

Judge Craig Revel-Horwood called their salsa on Saturday: 'A-mayzing!' The pair scored 33 points – the highest score of the series so far.

‘Masked student lay in wait before stabbing housemate 30 times’

By Jack Hardy

A MASKED university student lay in wait for his housemate to return home before stabbing him 30 times to death, a court has heard.

Zack Coughlan, 23, dressed all in black and wore a mask and gloves to ambush Jamie Collins, 21, in the garden of their home.

Coughlan and Mr Collins were both final year robotics students at UWE Bristol and lived together in a house in Filton, South Gloucestershire, owned by the defendant. The prosecution described the attack – which happened shortly before 6pm on April 8 – as a ‘carefully planned and cold-blooded execution’.

The pair were said to have previously rowed over the amount of rent Coughlan was charging Mr Collins.

Coughlan left his housemate dying in an alleyway as he cycled away on Mr Collins's bike, Bristol Crown Court was told. Coughlan is alleged to have dumped the bike at a nearby retail park, bought a change of clothes and threw his bloodstained clothing in a pond. The court heard he then returned home to the house they shared in Cleve Road at about 9pm and did some online gaming with friends.

Ambushed: Jamie Collins

Adam Vaitilingam KC, prosecuting, told the jury: 'At about 2am – eight hours later – the defendant called 999. He said that his friend had been stabbed. They told him to do CPR until paramedics arrived and he told them that he was.

‘Shortly afterwards armed police officers arrived. They saw Jamie’s body in the back garden of the house. [Coughlan] told them that he had been out at the park and he had just come home.

‘He had noticed that the back gate was open so came outside and it was then that

'A cold-blooded execution'

he found Jamie lying in the garden.'

The court heard the attack was caught on CCTV installed at the house, which Coughlan showed officers who initially treated him as a witness.

Mr Vaitilingam said the defendant's blood had been found on Mr Collins's bike, and analysis of Coughlan's mobile phone matched the killer's movements that were captured on CCTV. The court heard that Coughlan now accepts he had killed Mr Collins, and had admitted his manslaughter but he denies murder.

‘We understand that he will say that he had lost control of himself because of things that Jamie had said to him over the previous days and weeks that made him fear for his life,’ Mr Vaitilingam said. ‘And so, because of his fear of Jamie, he had been unable to stop himself from killing him.’

The prosecutor said the Crown's case was this defence 'doesn't even get past first base'. 'Because this was not a killing done by someone losing their self-control,' he said.

‘Someone who has lost control doesn’t plan ahead in the way that he did, dressing up so as to avoid being identified and then waiting for 20 minutes outside an address for their victim to appear.’

Coughlan told people who saw his bleeding hands that he had fallen and hurt himself while climbing trees. The trial continues.

THE dithering over

whether to remove just

Andrew or all of the former

Yorks from the line of succession looks set to be resolved at next month's Commonwealth summit in Antigua. Attended by the King and Andy Burnham, the issue will be discussed by the 15 nations where Charles still reigns. The agreement of all is required and whilst some – including Australia and Canada – have already backed removing Andrew, the question of whether the entire York clan should be cut hangs in the air. Should Beatrice and Eugenie end-up losing their places, then the calls for them to have their titles removed will become harder to resist. It's a subject on which the King, who dislikes conflict, will prefer being told what to do.

What 30-something

A GENERATION ago, entering your 30s meant reaching certain milestones for women: a house, a child – or two – and a foot on the career ladder.

But today, things look very different. Those aged 30 to 35 have a 27 per cent chance of owning their own home, according to figures from think-tank the Resolution Foundation, while the UK's birth rate has slumped to a 50-year low.

Instead of feeling settled, independent and gearing up to increase their work responsibilities, many of the 30-something women we spoke to are still renting, relying on parents to help them or cutting back on work to avoid extortionate childcare fees.

For single women, there is the niggling feeling that motherhood may pass them by unless they take matters into their own hands.

Psychologist Dr Louise Goddard-Crawley explains that for many of her patients in this age group, it's a very stressful decade.

She says: 'A key theme, is feeling "behind"; the idea that by now you should have the relationship, children, career and financial security.

‘Career progression and decisions about children often collide, alongside fertility worries and friendships changing as people reach different stages.’

From the shop worker to the estate agent, here's what today's 30-somethings say about their earning power.

The chef, 30, London: £48,000

FIVE years ago, aged 25, I started in the food industry as a commis chef (the most junior chef in a professional kitchen) earning £26,000, so I feel like my earnings have progressed quite quickly. I believe I'm fairly paid, even if you get pretty frazzled working these kinds of hours.

My double shifts start at 8am and go until 11pm, which is really full-on. I do a few of those a week and my hours are meant to total 50 (but can run over).

Whether I find my job fulfilling comes down to what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'm very aware that I'm absolutely working my fingers to the bone just to make someone's dinner.

I work at a popular modern British restaurant and roles can be competitive.

When I did my trial, there was only one other woman in a kitchen of 12 chefs, which probably worked in my favour – hiring me

meant they could start re-balancing the ratio.

We have hired a lot more women since and they are amazing at their jobs, but the hospitality industry is still very male-dominated, with one woman in a leadership position for every ten men.

I earn the least out of my friends, but my fiancé is a surgeon (a big reason I started working in kitchens was because he was already on an erratic shift pattern), and he earns more than double what I do.

We own our home and feel very settled, unlike some of my friends who are still dating and feeling like their futures are uncertain.

I do want children, so I have been thinking about going into something with more normal hours, like working in the head office of a restaurant.

The industry is changing and becoming more accommodating to those who have families, but I still find the idea of working in a kitchen while having young children at home daunting.

I don't have a long-term plan, though - I could never have predicted this career change. I want to see what happens.

The mental health nurse, 36, Brighton: £36,000

BY the time I was 33, I was a senior NHS leader earning £72,000 a year. But when I went on maternity leave three years ago my job was wiped out.

Along with the shock of the redundancy, I had been traumatised by the birth of my son, who was born with disabilities and has been in and out of hospital for most of his life.

Even though it meant a 50 per cut in earnings, it made sense to take on a flexible role working for six GP practices as a mental health practitioner and providing one-to-one sessions for people who were depressed or anxious.

I also set up my own business supporting women in their postnatal journey, which is bringing in around £4,000-£5,000 per year.

Earning so much less than I did before has definitely been a wake-up call. It's forced me to focus on the value of money, and to be really systematic with my savings.

I've become used to living in my overdraft and paying off a £1,500 credit card bill each month.

Some months, I have to ask my husband, who is an online fitness coach, for help. Otherwise, we split the costs for our two-bedroom home. I've been doing interviews for staff roles for four months, but ones at my level are like gold dust.

I've also had a lot of rejection. I have a mental health nursing degree and I worked so hard to get where I was before redundancy. It's really hard climbing back up that ladder.

The high-end estate agent, 35, London: £210,000

I'M a director at my luxury holiday home agency where I earn £90,000 in base salary, plus another £120,000 for hitting my sales targets. I also have a side business doing event planning, which brings in around £3,800 monthly.

Sometimes it feels like I'm paid fairly for how hard I work, but not always.

Life feels comfortable but a little more money would be nice. I'm still sharing a flat with a roommate and my rent costs £1,500 per month. I'd love to have enough to live alone but for now, I think that would leave me feeling too crunched. I don't know if I'll stay in this industry long-term. For now I'm just motivated to earn as much as I can.

I didn't have a job for eight months before my current one: I think I submitted 1,000 applications across different industries until I got hired two months ago. Financially, I'm still catching up.

The main things I spend on are travel, going out to restaurants and buying a nice bag here or there. I also just paid £6,500 for one round of egg freezing.

I see it as an insurance policy. It makes me less anxious about feeling left behind.

I've been single since the end of last year, and it's hard not to compare my situation to those of friends announcing engagements and babies – they're a reminder of what I don't have.

I'm dating and hope to find love again. Some days, I love my own company but on others I really wish I had someone to ‘do life’ with.

The deputy headteacher, 32, London: £64,000

I BECAME an assistant head of a primary school when I was 25 – the youngest person in London to hold that role.

I had always wanted to be a teacher and studied primary education for my undergraduate degree and psychology of education for my postgraduate qualification.

After three years, I was made acting head after the previous headteacher left, but I only got an extra £180 per month.

The salary isn't anywhere near enough considering the 11-hour days, work on weekends and overall increase in responsibility.

There's a big worry that you can't have a life outside teaching, but I think you have to have passions and hobbies to ensure it doesn't take over.

I've always been sporty, so I kept pouring my energy into that. I set up a running club and started posting videos on social media.

Those posts have become really profitable: through partnerships with companies like running brands I've earned an additional £11,000 since April.

I try to put £750 into premium bonds and my Isa each month. I also set myself a £150 per week budget for my food shop, petrol and social events.

I rent a one-bedroom flat in south-west London but I'm hoping to have enough to buy a home in 2028.

I've been single for five years and am not actively dating. If that's still the case by the time I'm 35, I will start the process of having a child by myself.

Given that private IVF costs £5,000-£8,000 per cycle, I don't see how I could try to have more than one child that way.

The wholesale assistant, 36, Warwick: £12,480

IF my salary was paying for the mortgage on our three-bedroom house in Bedworth, we'd have lost the house a long time ago.

I work for a wholesaler supplying food to workplaces, restaurants, schools and pubs, and on any given day I might be putting away heavy cheeses, going up 6ft ladders or working in the chiller.

I've been working in retail for ten years and was previously a supervisor and duty manager, but the pay was rubbish, given the hours you have to put in. Plus the expectations from the senior team were ridiculous.

When I had my son, who's now six, I couldn't keep finishing at 8pm, so when he started school, I had to step down from that role. I now work 26 hours a week.

I'm quite independent so it was hard to become more reliant on my husband, who is a metal

women really earn

From the upmarket estate agent to the part-time hairdresser and the ambitious deputy head with a side-hustle as an influencer... all of these women have vastly different salaries. But who's happiest with their lot?

craftsperson or tinsmith.

I also felt like I had wasted time away from my son while he was a baby just to end up leaving the more senior role anyway.

Those are precious hours that I can't get back. It made me feel that I had failed as a mum and a manager.

I would have loved to have more children but, realistically, we couldn't afford to. It would mean a bigger car and more mouths to feed.

Everything I earn goes on activities for my son or for us to have a Chinese takeaway a couple of times a month. And we can only afford that because I'm training

to work for a retail union as a representative and get £10 per day in expenses that

I'm meant to use on myself but keep to pay for afterschool clubs or a meal out.

I'm banking on the training leading to me getting a job with a union next year.

The salary would be in the region of £54,000 and would make a huge difference to our lives.

My job sucks. It just doesn't pay to work in retail. I didn't get good grades at school but I definitely deserve to be paid more.

The HR consultant, 37, Plymouth: £50,000

WHEN I worked in an office, I was constantly fighting for pay rises, and against the general culture of not disclosing what you earn.

You were made to feel like you should not ask what others were getting paid because if you did, it would get back to the boss and you would be considered the 'difficult' one.

I was already being hit by the motherhood penalty because I was on a contract that stipulated shorter hours, meaning I was denied the basics of full-time workers like paid lunch breaks.

I also found that men seemed to skip the more junior roles and ended up in director positions without the experience.

My husband is in the military and is often away, so I do the majority of the childcare for our six-year-old son.

Last year, needing the flexibility to structure my hours around school runs and fed up with worrying about whether leaving early would count against me, I became self-employed.

I've doubled my salary since then and work 30 hours a week, but my costs are high and the juggle can be intense.

I've got two student loans, and 15 per cent of my salary each month goes to paying those off. We also pay £3,500 per term for my son to attend private school, which he needs as he struggles with things like reading.

That will more than treble in the next five years, and we are giving up a lot to pay for it. We desperately need a new kitchen but can't afford it.

We also have a £2,000 monthly mortgage on our four-bedroom home. I have no idea how people on lower incomes do it.

The hairdresser, 38, Bolton: £12,000

I OPENED my salon in 2022 and for years essentially worked as a volunteer, taking a minimal amount from the company to cover things such as bus fares and lunches because we never made a profit.

I work three days a week and have now had to start taking a salary to be eligible for government-subsidised childcare for my 17-month-old's nursery or we wouldn't be entitled to any help. I spend around £500 a month on clubs and activities for my ten-year-old and eight-year-old, too.

I've been a hairdresser since I was 16 and work the hardest in the company but get paid the least. At the end of each month there's nothing left.

Everything has become so much more difficult since Covid. People have continued to do their hair at home, or they are not visiting the salon as much as they once did; maybe once or twice a year for Christmas or a special occasion.

There are also more hair-dressers working from home salons with no overheads, and it's impossible to compete with those prices. I don't think people are bothered about the quality of their haircuts any more, they just want things cheap.

My husband, who works as a project manager, covers all of our costs, including our mortgage. I'm going to try to sell more hair products through the salon to make more money. But if that doesn't work, I'll have to consider closing it down completely, which would hit me really hard.

---

The product manager, 39, London: £84,000

MY job involves managing software engineers and developing digital products for our business.

I could be working harder and earning more but I've chosen not to. There are plenty of jobs in my industry that offer more than £100,000 but this salary allows my life to be stress-free and work nine to five, which feels worth it.

Financially, everything is manageable. I'm single and own my three-bedroom flat in north London. Before I got injured doing sport, my biggest expenditure was on fitness: I paid £420 a month to have a personal trainer, plus £150 a month on spin classes and a gym membership. Since I injured my lower back, I've been saving the money instead. I put at least £600 a month into an Isa, stocks and shares.

I don't drink much – I usually have one when I'm out, maybe two if I'm on a date – and am good at balancing socialising with plenty of downtime for myself.

Although I know I'm not realising my earning potential because there are so many roles out there in my field where I could be earning another £20,000 easily, I'm happy with that.

I'm really enjoying how relaxed things feel at the moment. Given that I don't have children and don't know if I will, I feel I should just enjoy life.

Ex-soldier sues for £500,000 after Ajax ‘damaged hearing’

Tinnitus: Jonathan Bevan who tested the Ajax tanks

By Olivia Day

A FORMER tank commander is suing the Ministry of Defence for £500,000 over claims his hearing was damaged while testing the Army's ‘troubled’ Ajax fleet.

Jonathan Bevan, 46, was medically discharged from the Army in June 2023 after he complained of chronic tinnitus and mental health problems.

The former Household Cavalry sergeant claims his hearing was destroyed by having to endure ‘piercing’ emergency alarms that sounded in his headset ‘every six to seven seconds' while deployed as an Ajax tank commander between 2017 and 2021.

Mr Bevan alleges his chronic tinnitus and mental health issues stemmed from ‘acoustic shock’ syndrome caused by the repeated noises in his headset.

He is seeking £500,000 from the MoD before Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr and two senior judges at the Court of Appeal.

His claims were dismissed last April by Judge Nigel Bird, who found no compelling evidence of acoustic shock syndrome – a decision now being challenged by Mr Bevan's lawyers.

Although the MoD has previously admitted negligence in relation to high levels of noise within the tank, it denies this triggered any acoustic shock.

Trials of the 40-ton light tank were previously halted after some personnel complained of hearing loss and vibrational injuries.

This prompted ministers to pause payments to the US manufacturers of the fleet between December 2020 and March 2023, with the rollout labelled ‘troubled' by then defence secretary Ben Wallace. The first of the £6.3billion fleet of 589 Ajax tanks came into active service late last year after initially being expected to be ready for use by 2017.

The court heard Mr Bevan complained about a range of symptoms while testing the Ajax fleet, including an alarm dubbed the ‘nuclear biological chemical alarm’ making an intermittent high-pitched screech.

His barrister argued the ruling by Judge Bird contradicted guidelines on acoustic shock stipulated by medical experts.

Gisele Pelicot receives courage award for fight against sexual violence

Daily Mail Reporter

SHE is admired across the world for showing dignity and strength in the face of unimaginable pain.

And last night, Gisele Pelicot was honoured with an award recognising her remarkable efforts at a star-studded gala in London.

Ms Pelicot, 73, was presented with the Woman of Courage trophy by actress Sienna Miller.

It is an honour to receive this award,' she told the Women of the Year ceremony at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in her acceptance speech. 'People call me courageous, but I accepted this award for all women victims of sexual violence. I could not keep this award just for me, it is for all women.'

Ms Pelicot's ex-husband, Dominique, was jailed for 20 years for drugging and raping her as well as allowing other men to assault her while she was unconscious, in a catalogue of abuse which lasted nearly a decade. Some 50 men were found guilty of rape or sexual offences after a three-and-a-half-month trial in Avignon, south-east France, in December 2024.

Ms Pelicot, who has become an emblem of the fight against sexual violence, released a memoir this year titled A Hymn to Life: Shame Has To Change Sides. She has also met Queen Camilla, who praised Ms Pelicot's ‘extraordinary dignity’ following her ordeal.

Before last night's ceremony, she turned her attention to websites enabling sexual abuse by calling them a ‘plague on society’. She told ITV News that we must all act to ensure they are shut down.

Tiger park in health and safety probe

Daily Mail Reporter

A WILDLIFE park where a man was killed by a tiger is now the subject of a health and safety investigation.

City of Doncaster Council, which is responsible for licensing Yorkshire Wildlife Park, announced the move as the doors of the zoo remained closed yesterday.

The victim, who has not been named, entered the tiger enclosure willingly and refused help to lift him out, according to witnesses of Saturday's incident.

Dan Swaine, from the city council, said: 'Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with everyone involved.'

Spared prison, conwoman who duped brothers out of £76,000 with fake Rolexes

A CON artist swindled two brothers out of £76,000 by selling them fake Rolex watches, then claiming she had terminal cancer.

Stacey Hedges, 40, told her friend Simon Stacey she could get him discounted Rolexes through her family connections in the jewellery industry.

Hedges, a hairdresser from Wimborne in Dorset, persuaded him and his brother Jonathan to part with their late mother's inheritance money for eight counterfeit Rolexes, even creating fake war-

ranty cards. She blew the money on holidays and shopping.

When Simon Stacey challenged Hedges about numerous faults, she said she would get the watches repaired, sending him many emails from an official-looking address that she had created to reassure him repairs were progressing.

After several months, Mr Stacey ran out of patience and contacted Charles Fox Jewellers in Bournemouth, whose identity Hedges had appropriated. It said it had never heard of Hedges. When confronted by Mr Stacey, Hedges, in a desperate bid to garner sympathy, said she had terminal cancer. Around the same time, she set up a Just-Giving page to raise funds for private treatment to prolong her life. A total of 28 people donated,

'Told daughter she was dying'

including real cancer sufferers touched by her story, raising £1,390. She even told her daughter, now 15, she was about to die.

She was arrested in August 2023, and on Friday sobbed after admitting three counts of fraud at Bournemouth Crown Court.

Judge Kerry Maylin said Hedges, motivated by greed, betrayed the trust of the brothers and caused psychological damage to her own daughter.

But she decided against issuing an immediate custodial sentence as Hedges is the sole carer for her daughter. Instead she was given a two-year and 11 months prison sentence, suspended for three years, and ordered to do 250 hours unpaid work.

Action under the Proceeds Of Crime Act is due to begin against Hedges by the end of the year.

Prized: Real Rolexes start from about £5,000 each

SHORTLY after midnight on September 7, a few hours before flying to Sicily to attend a gathering of New Age gay hippies, Benjamin Braithwaite expressed his excitement in text exchanges with his partner, whom he had left behind in Wales.

Raised as a Jehovah's Witness – a religion which sees homosexuality as sinful – Braithwaite had suffered such a troubled upbringing that he was estranged from his mother and had changed his first name to River.

However, in recent months the university-educated artist had found the acceptance he craved by joining the Radical Faeries, a controversial cult founded at the dawn of the Gay Liberation movement in the 1970s, whose members explore their sexuality and spirituality at anything-goes camps in remote rural settings.

Indeed, Braithwaite felt so happy at these freewheeling confabs, where gay men and women sit in 'heart circles' to reveal their innermost feelings, dine communally, entertain one another by performing music and drag shows – and pair off for sex whenever the mood takes them – that earlier this year he had left his caravan home in Powys to go 'faerie hopping' around Europe.

'You're 35 now! Finally figuring your life out,' Braithwaite's partner, Jon Winston, messaged him as he prepared to

'Off to a good start, feeling happy and optimistic'

attend his latest gathering at the ruins of a disused farmhouse in the hills of Contrada Piano Milo, south-east Sicily.

‘Haha, well I’m off to a good start anyway. Feeling happy and optimistic,’ came the jaunty reply, accompanied by a smiling emoji. ‘I’m so happy things turned out the way they did.’

Those were the last words that Winston, who is in his mid-20s, would ever hear from the man he fell in love with after they met online two years ago.

Sometime around 3am on September 13, seven days after arriving in Sicily, Braithwaite's naked and injured body was found inside the white tent he had pitched at the Radical Faeries' gathering.

A sinister satyr above a shrine of bones, a secretive 'faerie cult' in the Sicilian hills - and the mystery of the naked Yorkshireman found dead in his tent next to a rope and knife

When I visited the remote farmstead last week, everything remained exactly - and eerily - just as it had looked that night when, alerted by Braithwaite's fellow revellers, Carabinieri detectives swooped on the camp.

Following a winding track through the dense olive groves, I passed beneath a crumbling archway decorated with a stone unicorn and entered the yard of a ruined farmhouse, which seemed to have been turned into a make-shift theatre. If so, it was a theatre of the macabre.

One wall had been painted with the sinister image of a smiling satyr, a symbol of hedonistic pleasure, and beneath it stood a shrine of strange ornaments, animal bones, horns and candles.

Another wall was draped with a stage curtain, and an alcove had served as a dressing room, with racks full of exotic costumes, boxes of flashy shoes and colourful wigs, and dubious-looking props such as chains, leather

straps, rubberwear and wartime gas masks.

The tables and floor were strewn with half-empty beer, wine and gin bottles, and the stubbed-out butts of whatever the audience had been smoking before the discovery of Braithwaite's body brought their merriment to an abrupt halt.

Venturing inside his tipi-style tent, the detectives had found a chilling and squalid scene. Early reports suggested Braithwaite was found hanging and had various injuries to his neck and body.

But it now appears he was lying on a grubby mattress with a length of rope beside him, along with his belongings and a personal diary, which contained no indication that he intended to take his own life.

The police are also said to have found a sharp knife beside the tent and various illegal drugs elsewhere in the camp.

However, they are yet to discover how and why this free-wheeling Yorkshireman, who had dropped out of mainstream society and was living in a Welsh caravan commune, died – and, crucially, whether anyone had been with him in the tent.

Meanwhile, with the post-mortem examination progressing at a snail's pace – because, Sicilian police sources tell me, it is an ‘unusual’ case requiring rigorous forensic tests – there is all manner of lurid local speculation over the cause of death.

While many in Canicattini Bagni, the nearest town to the abandoned farm, believe Braithwaite either committed suicide or died in a sex game that went disastrously wrong, it is also rumoured that he might have been murdered.

Whatever the truth, however, his strange death has cast a shadow over an island striving to restore its reputation as a peaceable tourist destination after decades under the yoke of the Mafia.

And it has thrown an unwelcome spotlight on the secretive Radical Faeries, who meet in isolated rural encampments and now have many offshoots around the world.

Sometimes described as a ‘cult’, a term to which many members object, the Faeries’ founders included the celebrated, Sussex-born gay liberation pioneer Harry Hay, who died in 2002. Their philosophy has been explained in so many differing ways that there will be inevitable objections, however one characterises it.

Announcing their forthcoming gathering at Featherstone Castle in Northumberland, a British branch called Radical Faeries of Albion presents itself as an ‘ever-expanding collective network of lesbians, gay men, trans,

'A front for drugs and grooming'

bisexuals, queer hetero people and anyone else in between, who come together to create vibrant, energetic and safe spaces to celebrate' spirituality and sexuality.

But this group freely admits some people join ‘just to get laid’.

And in an interview with a newspaper last week, a disillusioned former member of another branch painted a deeply troubling picture of their activities. Having attended gatherings for several years, he claimed it was a ‘paganistic cult’ whose druid-like rituals were actually a ‘front for drugs and sexual and spiritual grooming’.

When I heard about his [Braithwaite's] death, I wasn't surprised,' said the source. 'I always knew that one day something like this would happen. There are some characters who are dark, manipulative. I have seen this scenario before. Someone who is attractive joins the Faeries and certain people take advantage of them, sexually and spiritually.

'People often join the Faeries when they are at a low ebb and vulnerable. There is a lot of drug-taking... some people are pushed into it. It could have been rape under the influence of drugs. It could have been a choking sex game. I have heard of people being drugged and made to have sex without their consent.'

Among the LGBTQ+ community, the former member's claims have caused outrage. While a few online commentators support his assertions, many more dismiss them as uninformed and sensationalist, insisting the Faeries are a force for good.

Indeed, last week, when a Daily Mail reporter visited a Faerie gathering that Braithwaite had previously attended in the Vosges mountains of eastern France, he found an uplifting pastoral scene

Macabre: A satyr had been painted above a shrine of animal bones at the derelict and remote farm

Picture: ROLAND HOSKINS

'People join when they're vulnerable'

where some 20 people sat in their morning ‘heart circle’, sharing their feelings and dividing up the day’s chores.

The mayor of Canicattini Bagni, Paolo Amenta, also sees them in a favourable light. Since the surrounding countryside was so empty and beautiful, he said, it had become a magnet for people such as the Faeries who sought an alternative lifestyle.

During the summer, they staged popular musical performances and shows in the town and were ‘warmly welcomed’ by residents.

Nonetheless, if the Faeries do have a rogue element that attracts ‘vulnerable’ people, then it seems that River Braithwaite would have been easy prey.

Speaking exclusively to me last week, in the hope of correcting some of the inaccuracies and hysteria swirling around this case, Jon Winston described the tortured path that led to his partner's demise.

It began when he was growing up in Leeds, he says, and by the

time Braithwaite left for university, his relationship with his now remarried mother, Angelique Wildbore, had broken down. She declined to comment. Though Braithwaite was 'kind, amusing, multi-talented and industrious', and could turn his hand to everything from art and sculpture to stand-up drag artistry, Winston explains he struggled with his mental health problems, sometimes feeling suicidal.

It is also undeniable, and perhaps significant, that when they were not together Braithwaite indulged in extreme and sometimes dangerous sexual activities, which he exhibited on social media using a pseudonym.

He and Winston lived half an hour's drive from one another, in Powys, and formed a close relationship. So when Braithwaite suddenly embarked on his 'faerie hopping' jaunt seven months ago, Winston – who says he is more introverted and felt unable to join him – was heartbroken. By the same token, Winston was happy for his partner because, from his upbeat messages, he seemed to be turning a corner.

Troubling scene: River Braithwaite was found dead in his tipi-style tent

He said he could be himself there. It was somewhere that people could share their feelings and have good food and music.

"The people there made him feel loved. River identified as a radical anarchist, so he very much didn't follow a political agenda.

‘He was a free-spirited hippy sort of person, and it was just people who felt the same way about society.’

Braithwaite paid his way across the continent by doing odd jobs and selling his artwork, which he exhibited on a separate social media page using the handle 'rivertriestomakestuff'.

Fatefully, it may have been his dexterity that first led him to Sicily. The owner of the run-down farm where he died, 48-year-old Sicilian performance artist Vincenzo Carta, had advertised online for like-minded gay hippies to join him in creating a community there, and was particularly keen to recruit people with building skills.

And from Braithwaite's messages to Winston, it was clear he had journeyed to Sicily at least once this year, before attending the gathering where he died.

As I saw last week, the event – which Braithwaite had helped to set up – was exceptionally well organised.

Above the performance area, a dining area, bar and kitchen had been created, complete with gas stove, labelled drawers containing cutlery and crockery, and a fridge – still stocked with food and bottles of Sicilian alcohol.

According to the Carabinieri, only about ten people were present on the night Braithwaite died, all of whom were questioned ‘as witnesses rather than suspects’ before being allowed to leave the island.

But, of course, it took the police some time to reach the farm, so they can't be sure that someone harbouring vital information didn't make off across the fields before they arrived. The police are certainly not ready to rule out foul play. However, they dismiss one of the more outlandish rumours being spread.

In bygone years, and perhaps still today, the Piano Milo mountains were a stronghold of the Mafia, who made their lairs in inaccessible hilltop farms.

These machismo godfathers were so notoriously homophobic that in 1992 they ordered the shooting of a New Jersey mobster whose secret gay life had been exposed.

Therefore, the gossips say, they are hardly likely to have welcomed gay hippies to their turf.

So, as I put it to an investigating officer, is there a chance that a bigoted local mafioso somehow infiltrated the Faerie gathering with malintent?

The gathering's organiser, landowner Carta, was alert to the dangers of having a gay commune in this culturally alien place.

‘Creating a queer space in Sicily, smack in the middle of the Mediterranean, is a big deal,’ he wrote in a post a couple of years ago.

‘Here, like other places, traditional values often clash with the LGBTQ+ community’s quest for acceptance and visibility.’

However, my police source dismissed the notion of a Mafia hit. While not exactly woke, I was

'If someone was involved, they've covered it up'

assured that even the Cosa Nostra has moved with the times and become more accepting of diversity. And Mayor Amenta said the town – which is eager to diversify into tourism like neighbouring Noto with its baroque architecture – welcomed everyone unreservedly.

How then did River die? It is a question that torments his grieving partner, who doesn't follow the news and only learned of the tragedy a few days ago after his messages were not returned.

'At first I thought it could have been suicide, but [from the information the police have given] it seems that it's not, and that is just awful,' he told me, his voice breaking with emotion.

The question is, with whom was Braithwaite last seen?

‘I would like to see someone brought to account for this, absolutely, because if another person was involved – which I do strongly believe – they have tried to cover it up, and they need to be made responsible before this happens to someone else,’ Winston says.

They do indeed. Carabinieri officers promise no stone will be left unturned and that if anyone was implicated in Braithwaite's death, they will be hunted down.

Whatever became of this questing man, to honour him and protect their good name, the Faeries would be well advised to set aside their anarchic values and do their utmost to ensure justice is done.

Midwives win £750,000 after being exposed to nitrous oxide at hospital

MORE than 120 midwives and maternity staff have been awarded almost £750,000 in compensation after being exposed to high levels of nitrous oxide.

The compound, known as laughing gas, is used for pain relief in labour, but long-term exposure has side-effects.

The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) said staff at Basildon

University Hospital were exposed due to poor ventilation on the maternity unit and leaking gas lines from 2021 to 2023.

Midwives reported symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, brain fog and anxiety. The RCM took legal action on behalf of more than 120 workers, with a settlement of almost £750,000 agreed.

Daniel Poet, of the RCM's solicitors, Thompsons, said: 'They should never have been put at risk. The trust knew about the dangers in 2021, but staff weren't told until the following year and it took another year for safety measures to be introduced.'

After tragedy of losing husband at 60, a day of joy for tennis ace Annabel

HER late husband had poignantly given his blessing to their daughter's wedding just before he died.

Now, three years on from his sudden loss, tears of grief were replaced by tears of joy as Annabel Croft and her family united for the big day.

The former tennis player, 60, was clearly proud to see her youngest child, Lily Coleman, tie the knot with Felix McCorquodale, a relative of Princess Diana, on the weekend.

She had told the Daily Mail's Richard Eden how touched she was to learn of her husband Mel Coleman's comments about the union, saying: 'He gave permission to my youngest daughter Lily's boyfriend.

‘Felix told me... one of the things Mel said to him was, “You definitely have my permission to marry Lily”.’

Mr Coleman, pictured right with Ms Croft, died from sepsis aged 60 – weeks before their 30th wedding anniversary.

'Devastated' Kaplinsky reveals she is to divorce

SHE was the first newsreader to be paid £1million a year and won the debut series of Strictly Come Dancing, but Natasha Kaplinsky has been unlucky in love.

I can disclose that the TV star, 54, has separated from her husband, investment banker Justin Bower, also 54.

The couple, who have two teenage children, have been married for more than 20 years. They are now divorcing.

‘Natasha is devastated,’ a friend tells me.

'It's very sad.'

They married in 2005 after a romance of less than three months while she was a BBC One Breakfast presenter.

And in 2023, she told me they were considering renewing their wedding vows.

‘I’d love to,’ she said. ‘We did go to our local church on our tenth wedding anniversary with renewal in mind, but our children were screeching, so we’ve put it off for a bit.’

However, in May I reported that they had put their ski chalet in the French Alps on the market for £2.7million.

The couple tell me: 'We can confirm that we have made the joint decision to end our marriage and our focus now is on our children.' The family live in Sussex on a farm which includes two pygmy goats, three sheep, nine alpacas and a cow called Mabel.

Separated: Justin Bower and Natasha Kaplinsky

Natasha joined the BBC from Sky News in 2002, becoming the regular presenter of the Six O'Clock News.

Two years later, she was the first to lift the glitterball trophy on Strictly.

She was so popular that she agreed to co-present the first half of the second series with the late Sir Bruce Forsyth, when Tess Daly went on maternity leave.

Kaplinsky was poached by Channel Five News in 2007 on a reported salary of £1million per year, a record for a newsreader.

Called The Dreaming, it was based at Rhydoldog House, once the home of fashion designer Laura Ashley, which she bought for around £1.5 million two years earlier. Now, however, a spokesman says it will close in December because it is ‘a different world today than the one we started off in’ and it needs to ‘reassess what it is we should be offering’.

The spokesman adds: 'We must dream. And to do so we must hibernate. We cannot say when exactly we will be returning from the dream realm, but return we shall.'

‘We should just leave children alone. I don’t want my children being political.’

Kemi, who like Paloma has three children, adds: 'The Paloma Faith example is very bizarre.

"There's something that's gone wrong there when you want to put a "Free Palestine" slogan and all of the connotations into a child's head without letting them read the history, understand the context.

SPECIAL REPORT By JOHN NAISH

DOROTHY MOATE is regularly overcome by such an insatiable compulsion to eat that she's been known to start baking a cake at 2am.

‘It was carrot cake this morning,’ Dorothy, 74, a retired teaching assistant from Plymouth, told Good Health. ‘I absolutely have to bake – not a day goes by when I don’t. Then I eat what I’ve baked,’ she says. Even ten minutes after a big meal she starts to feel hungry again and has to eat more.

Eating is not her only compulsion. Dorothy is also regularly affected by an uncontrollable urge to shop, and her home is festooned with piles of new clothes that she does not need – and more than 50 pairs of shoes.

Dorothy wasn't always this way. Until recently, she had a modest appetite and weighed a trim 8st, and only bought clothes she needed.

She says the urges were triggered by drugs prescribed by her doctor – and she is now struggling to wean herself off them.

The medications in question, called dopamine agonists, are widely used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS), a common neurological

---

'Not a day goes by when I don't bake - and then I eat it'

disorder affecting an estimated five million people in the UK, which causes an irresistible urge to move the legs.

It is often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations (such as crawling, pulling or tingling) that are triggered by rest or inactivity and worsen in the evening. In most cases the cause is unknown.

The impact can be life-changing, as Dorothy explains: 'RLS wrecks your sleep – and consequently your waking life – as you can't stop this constant moving.'

But what she didn't expect was that the drugs she was given to combat RLS would wreck her life in other ways, as a result of a known potential side-effect – impulsive and compulsive behaviour.

How a drug widely given for RESTLESS LEGS left Dorothy with a compulsion to shop online - and has driven others to unfettered gambling, eating ... and sex

Worst of all, she says, is that after nine years of taking them, she's struggled to come off them because of a crippling withdrawal symptom: severe anxiety.

Campaigners say many others with RLS find themselves in a similar position.

A petition calling for an inquiry into dopamine agonists says some patients have faced ‘ruined finances, family breakdown, dangerous impulse-control disorders, physical decline…and, in some cases, criminal proceedings’.

Others have ended up taking legal action. In 2024, Philip Stevens, 66, from Hampshire, received a £70,000 payout from his GP after being prescribed a dopamine agonist for RLS without being told of the risks it posed.

He subsequently developed an impulse-control disorder that led to him spending thousands on gambling websites and expensive clothes which he hid from his wife.

The number of patients affected could be huge. Dopamine agonists are not only prescribed for RLS, but also for Parkinson's disease, hormone-secreting pituitary tumours and even depression.

There are more than a million prescriptions issued in England alone for these drugs each year. But it's feared that the number of people taking them is increasing – without them being aware of the risks. Data from NHS England shows that, in 2021, prescriptions for the three most commonly dispensed dopamine agonists – pramipexole, ropinirole and rotigotine – totalled 1.26 million; in 2025, that had risen to 1.37 million.

Dopamine agonists mimic the effects of dopamine, a brain chemical that helps regulate physical movement. The problem, as numerous studies show, is that dopamine also serves as a powerful ‘reward’ chemical in the brain.

It spurs us to repeat actions that previously have sparked feelings of pleasure or success.

This, in turn, can fuel impulsivity and addiction. Indeed, impulsive behaviours – including gambling, shopping, eating and inappropriate sexual acts – have long been recognised as side-effects of dopamine agonists.

These side-effects are experienced by 6 to 17 per cent of RLS patients taking the drugs, according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). And now mounting evidence shows that all patients, regardless of their medical problem, are at risk from the drugs.

For example, among patients prescribed them for Parkinson's disease, one in six is affected by impulse-control disorders, according to the charity Parkinson's UK.

Such is the growing concern that in 2024 the American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommended that dopamine agonists should not be used as a first-line treatment for RLS.

Yet the Dopamine Agonist Action Group, a new volunteer-led campaign, warns that UK patients are seldom warned of these potential dangers by their

---

One man spent thousands on gambling sites

doctors (and they say the medicines' information leaflets have failed to highlight the dangers adequately).

This tallies with Dorothy's experience. Having initially developed RLS when pregnant with her first baby at 35, she says 'all the fidgeting robbed me of sleep – but after I had the baby the restless legs stopped'. (This often happens with RLS related to pregnancy.)

However, the symptoms returned during the menopause. 'I was bringing up two children and working as a teaching assistant,' says Dorothy. 'Again restless legs robbed me of sleep, which made it very difficult to do my attention-demanding job.'

She and her husband of 40 years, Roy, 72, a retired associate professor in electron microscopy, had to move into separate bedrooms ‘so that his sleep was not disturbed’.

Dorothy finally turned to her GP for help in 2017.

‘She didn’t know much about RLS, so she looked it up in a big book and then pronounced that a drug called pramipexole would tackle my symptoms,’ Dorothy recalls.

Pramipexole is used to treat the symptoms of moderate-to-severe RLS, as well as Parkinson's.

'The GP made no mention of any potential side-effects,' says Dorothy, 'so I was happy to take it'.

In fact, the drug-safety leaflet spells out that impulsive behaviours – such as sex, shopping and gambling addictions – are possible side-effects, although ‘uncommon’, suggesting they affect fewer than one in 100 patients.

But apart from the behavioural changes, there is another potential problem for people with RLS, in particular – it can make their RLS symptoms worse. This is known as augmentation and is thought to be caused by the drugs desensitising the dopamine receptors in the patient's brain, so they have even less control over limb movement, researchers warned in the journal Frontiers in Neurology in 2023.

Augmentation can affect up to 70 per cent of patients using dopamine agonists for eight to ten years, according to a paper by the US Restless Legs Syndrome Foundation published last month in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

Dorothy was blissfully unaware of the risk she faced when she started taking the drugs. She didn't read the safety leaflet, not least because – like many of us – she expected her GP to warn her about any significant problems.

'The drug worked instantly – the first night I had no symptoms,' she says. 'The doctor said I could increase the dose from the standard initial 88mcg if I needed to, so when the restless legs returned after about a year, I tried steadily increasing the dose.

‘But the symptoms got worse, which I now know is a recognised problem called augmentation. Things got so bad that the symptoms would begin earlier and earlier – starting in the afternoon and lasting through the night. I got practically no sleep.

Not warned: Dorothy Moate's medication made her shop compulsively

Picture: LES WILSON

‘During the afternoon and evening I would be pacing the floor and taking hot showers, just to try to relax myself.

‘When I complained to my GP, she was baffled. She didn’t know about augmentation.’

So, in 2019, Dorothy paid to see a doctor privately and was put on another dopamine agonist, ropinirole. But this made matters worse. As well as still suffering RLS symptoms, Dorothy developed compulsive behaviours.

‘Gradually I started eating more. Ten minutes after finishing a meal I would feel hungry again. My weight had always been 8st 6lb and now it is over 10st, which makes an awful difference because I am only 5ft,’ she says.

at Cambridge University warned in the journal BMC Neurology that RLS sufferers are prone to developing impulsive behaviours under the influence of dopamine agonists, because the drugs affect the limbic system in the brain which regulates emotions and motivation.

In March – in response to campaigners' pressure – the UK drug safety watchdog, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), announced it would be changing the degree of risk of impulsive behaviours from ‘uncommon’ to ‘common’ – meaning they occur in between one in ten and one in 100 people.

In July, Preet Kaur Gill, then

Under-Secretary of State for Health, replied in a written parliamentary answer to questions that ‘the MHRA is currently reviewing whether further action is needed to raise awareness of the existing warnings about impulse-control disorders with dopamine agonists’.

Meanwhile, for those already on the drugs, NICE says doses should be reduced if patients show signs of impulse control disorders (ICDs): 'If a person develops an ICD, the dopamine agonist should be withdrawn or the dose reduced until the symptoms resolve.'

However, experts say patients shouldn't abruptly stop dopamine agonist drugs, as this can cause severe withdrawal symptoms. In a paper for the Open University Press in 2024, Andrew Spector, an associate professor of neurology at Duke University in the US, warned: 'Dopamine agonists must be weaned off. The process can be brutal: insomnia, severe pain, anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide and more.'

Then a new compulsion emerged. 'Alongside the eating, compulsive shopping began to creep in,' Dorothy adds. 'I can't stop myself from going online to buy clothes and shoes.'

This is echoed by David Williams, one of the four co-founders of the Dopamine Agonist Action Group, which was formally established two months ago. He told Good Health: 'Neurologists are now labelling this problem dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome.'

Symptoms of withdrawal can be so gruelling that some patients have never been able to stop fully, even though they followed advice to taper slowly, he adds.

‘They are left trapped with ongoing impulse-control disorders caused by a drug that is making their RLS symptoms worse through augmentation.’

Dorothy knows this terrible fact too well.

These kinds of problems have long been recognised. Back in 2011, for example, neuroscientists

'I've tried several times to taper off the dopamine agonist,' she says. 'The recommended strategy is to halve the dose every two weeks until you get down to virtually nothing. However, I am currently taking 3mg daily because I had been upping the dose to stop the RLS symptoms.

‘Now at each attempt to cut down from this, I suffer such terrible anxiety that I have to give up.’

Dorothy's case is sadly typical of untold thousands of other British patients, says David Williams.

‘The stories we’re collecting show the same pattern repeatedly: catastrophic gambling and spending, hypersexuality and binge eating, misdiagnosis and family breakdown – with patients and carers saying they were never properly warned.

‘Nor were they warned about symptom augmentation. These are not isolated horror stories; they are

consistent failures in prescribing, monitoring and review.'

Concerns about dopamine agonists have led to some changes in UK prescribing guidelines.

A spokesman for NICE told Good Health that under guideline changes last year, dopamine agonists have been replaced by gabapentinoid drugs as the first-line treatment for RLS. These drugs, which are also used to treat nerve pain, are thought to work by calming overactivity in the brain.

government drug safety website warns that stopping the drugs can cause serious withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety.

The NICE spokesman said: 'International evidence has moved away from using dopamine agonists as a first-line treatment. Healthcare professionals should take our advice into account.'

Meanwhile, the evidence shows patients continue to be prescribed dopamine agonists without being warned of the consequences.

However, as Good Health has previously reported, gabapentinoids have their own serious potential side-effects, including breathing problems. They can also be addictive – and the UK

While formal research is scant, in March this year a bulletin for GPs issued by NHS Grampian warned that: 'An audit undertaken within a GP practice found that of 12 patients prescribed pramipexole for restless leg syndrome between July-August 2025, none had it documented in their notes that counselling on the risks was given.'

Professor Victoria Tzortziou Brown, president of the Royal College of GPs, told Good Health: 'Patients prescribed dopamine agonists should be counselled about the potential risks, advised to report any behavioural changes promptly and have their medication reviewed if concerning

'Patients say they were never properly warned'

symptoms develop. Dopamine agonists are still prescribed relatively infrequently in general practice and often following specialist recommendation.'

But David Williams says prescribing is growing because the drugs are increasingly being given for mental health conditions such as depression, in the hope they can make patients feel more motivated – thanks to dopamine reward systems being bolstered.

'Any such use is experimental or off-label, which is particularly concerning given these drugs' known risks,' he says.

Risk of legal action might help to curtail the rise in dopamine agonist prescribing.

Recent UK court cases – such as Philip Stevens's – have awarded settlements where patients had not been warned of the side-effects or monitored for them.

Such cases have caused deep concern at Parkinson's UK.

Caroline Rassell, the charity's chief executive, told Good Health: 'We've raised concerns with the MHRA about how these side-effects appear in drug information leaflets. Currently they are hidden and not listed in the main side-effects, which needs to change.'

'I also have a grandchild, aged two, who I love seeing. These are great motivations to keep going – and to keep trying to get off these meds.'

Dr Alison Cave, chief safety officer at the MHRA, told Good Health: 'We are carrying out a comprehensive assessment to determine whether any regulatory action is required to help raise further awareness of these risks with patients and healthcare professionals in the UK.'

Dorothy, meanwhile, still has RLS that often leaves her with as little as four hours' sleep at night. Yet she is determined to attempt to wean herself off the drugs.

‘I am going to try tapering off the drug again, even though people who’ve succeeded warn me that the final stages are absolute hell,’ she says.

‘I am very fortunate in that I have a husband who understands my compulsions and how they are due to the prescribed drugs. That’s such a great help.

The latest way to spot disease? A swab to check belly button odour

THE belly button is probably best known as either a source of mystery fluff or the site of 1990s pop stars' rebellious piercings.

But a new study suggests the navel should be taken more seriously – the particular scent of an individual's belly button could reveal vital clues to their health.

Researchers analysed the odours captured

on swabs that had been swept across nostrils, belly buttons and outer ears.

Those body parts were chosen for testing based on the idea that they might be ‘odour reservoirs’ where deodorants, perfumes and other external chemicals were less likely to interfere with natural scent. Laser technology that identified patterns in the odour chemicals allowed them to tell who was in good health, and who had Parkinson's disease, Covid-19 or mild cognitive impairment.

Samples from the belly button are a good source of body odour chemicals because they are 'not disturbed by soap too often', says lead researcher Dr Thorsten Graunke, an expert in digital sensory perception from the

Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits in Germany – who suggested the study could pave the way for a kind of ‘rough’ at-home screening for various illnesses.

Each of us is surrounded by a unique and invisible cloud of chemical gases, called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs.

'The human body constantly sheds VOCs through normal metabolic processes,' explains Dr Graunke. 'Every time we exhale, sweat or shed microscopic skin cells, we release a unique cloud of these chemicals – collectively known as the human volatilome.'

The volatilome can change when someone has a disease or an infection. Stories of pets sensing an owner's cancer before they had even noticed symptoms themselves are probably due to the animals' more sensitive noses picking up on those changes, scientists say.

The new study, published in Scientific Reports, attempted to sample the volatilome by swabbing participants' nostrils, belly button and the ear's concha (just behind the opening of the ear canal).

There were 24 participants in total: six were in good health, while the others were known to have Parkinson's, Covid-19 or mild cognitive impairment. They focused on those conditions because earlier research found links with changes in body odours.

EACH site was swabbed for around ten seconds. Then the swabs were put into sealed bags and frozen at -20C to preserve the compounds. The samples were then tested with laser-based photoacoustic spectroscopy, which involves shining light of different wavelengths on the gases, which vibrate in response. Different chemicals create vibrations that give a distinct pattern.

The researchers were able to identify which illnesses participants had based on those patterns – with the clearest signals coming from nose and belly button swabs.

They also found the most important information could be captured using only a handful of wavelengths, which ‘could speed up measurements in future and simplify the setup,’ says Dr Graunke.

The swabs from the healthy controls and people with Parkinson's disease or cognitive impairment were taken in an odourless hospital room. For infection-control reasons, the Covid patients took the samples themselves. Does that suggest that one day, people could take the samples themselves at home? 'Possibly!' says Dr Graunke. 'These swabs could be used as rough screening.

‘Our vision is to build a handheld device where swabs can be inserted,’ he says, while stressing that is ‘a long-term vision, not currently within reach’. This was only a small pilot study, he adds – the team is seeking funding to use the method in a larger group.

Professor James Logan, an olfactory science expert and founder of Digital Odour Technologies, a spin-out from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says: 'I'm always excited to see studies like this because the more we can understand odour and use different methods to try to figure out what's going on there, then the better we can use it.'

H IS company has developed a handheld device to detect VOCs in odours to spot if a patient has dengue or malaria.

In medicine, the main advantage of odour detection over traditional samples such as blood or saliva is that it is non-invasive, says Professor Logan. 'Odour also tends to change at a very early stage of infection,' he adds. Dogs trained to smell Covid-19 can detect the disease earlier than lateral flow tests.

The use of odour as a diagnostic tool is in its infancy, but examples include medical detection dogs that can detect imminent seizures, or dangerous swings in blood sugar levels in those with diabetes.

‘With the sector moving at pace, I think this will change soon and we will start to see machines that can smell and tell us when we are ill,’ says Professor Logan. ‘One day it will be as small as a smartwatch.’

A growing body of research suggests every disease will have a distinct odour, down to a very specific level, he says. 'Some studies have shown you can tell the difference between two different types of the flu, for example.'

Belly button sampling makes sense, he adds. 'Previous studies have looked at the armpits, because they tend to be very smelly. But people use deodorant, and the chemical compounds in the deodorant mask the disease-linked VOCs. Even when you stop using it for a while, there'll still be remnants of the deodorant, and that can interfere with testing.

‘So somewhere around the abdomen area is quite good, because it’s less likely to be contaminated with other things.’

By CAROLINE JONES

TURMERIC is having a moment – High Street chain Holland & Barrett revealed it was its best-selling supplement across all categories last year, even more popular than multivitamins.

The golden-yellow spice, used for centuries in Indian cooking, is attracting attention for its potential anti-inflammatory effects; proponents claim it can help ease everything from joint pain to indigestion and prediabetes.

Much of the scientific interest centres on curcumin, the main active compound in turmeric. For instance, in May a major review found curcumin could reduce pain and improve joint function in people with osteoarthritis, and some effects were comparable to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, reported the journal Frontiers in Medicine.

‘Curcumin has been shown to reduce inflammation by blocking the activity of the enzymes that cause the body’s inflammatory response in conditions such as arthritis,’ says Anthony Booker, a reader in ethnopharmacology (how different cultures use plants for medicinal purposes) at the University of Westminster, and a leading turmeric researcher.

‘Many modern painkillers target pain by blocking these same enzymes. There is some evidence to suggest that curcumin can also lower blood sugar levels – possibly by making cells more responsive to insulin, so they clear more sugar from the bloodstream – and so it may have a use in the management of type 2 diabetes and in prediabetes [where blood sugar is higher than normal but not enough to warrant a diabetes diagnosis].

‘There is also early evidence for its use in the treatment of heartburn and digestive problems – potentially by reducing gut inflammation.’

Studies suggest beneficial doses of curcumin start from 160mg, but comparing products on shop shelves is not straightforward, as names are used interchangeably: some state the amount

of turmeric root or powder they contain, while others list curcumin or total curcuminoids (which includes curcumin and two other compounds with a lesser anti-inflammatory effect).

OR reference, there is roughly 100mg of curcumin in a teaspoon of turmeric

In a teaspoon of turmeric powder. The European Food Safety Authority sets a daily safe limit of 210mg of curcumin for an average adult, which is roughly two teaspoons of turmeric powder – so an amount people who cook Indian food might easily use.

Another challenge is that curcumin is fat-soluble and doesn't dissolve in water, so much of it is broken down and excreted before it can be absorbed by the body.

To get round this, products are often made with black pepper extract (piperine) or with added fat, which helps its absorption.

‘There is evidence that piperine can increase absorption up to 20 times,’ says Anthony Booker. But boosting absorption by this much could mean a product exceeds the safe dosage directions, so always check the label, he adds.

‘My research also suggests that the quality of curcumin supplement can be variable – especially with products bought online.’

CLAIM: 500 mg turmeric per capsule, ‘supports joint health’. Take one a day.

EXPERT VERDICT: Plain turmeric at this dosage will only give about 25mg of active curcumin. While this is safe, it doesn't reach the beneficial dose used in studies for arthritis, for example.

This also contains magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide (which stop the powder clumping) - and some people prefer to avoid these, as they see them as unnecessary chemical additives.

The traditional way to take turmeric is to add a teaspoon or two to full-fat milk with some black pepper and drink - or add to oil when cooking: this would be much cheaper and more effective as you would be getting closer to 200mg of curcumin - eight times the amount in this product. 3/10

EXPERT VERDICT: Studies show that 30ml of turmeric juice can contain anything from 30-120mg of curcumin, depending on the extraction process.

This is a relatively low amount and doesn't reach the minimum therapeutic dose used in most trials of around 160mg.

Curcumin is also poorly soluble in water, so in this format much of it won't reach the bloodstream.

GUMMIES

EXPERT VERDICT: The information regarding the dose is quite confusing – consumers may well assume two gummies provide 4,000mg of 95 per cent pure curcumin, but the 4,000mg refers to turmeric root – what you are getting here is 200mg of pure turmeric extract, which is 95 per cent curcumin, and the amount of curcumin is decent. It also contains black pepper extracts, which will help its absorption.

CLAIM: 'With black pepper extracts to increase the bioavailability of turmeric and added vitamin D to support your immune system.' Take two gummies a day.

The added vitamin D allows for the health claims, but it's a fairly negligible amount at 1.25mcg per two gummies – the NHS recommends adults take a 10mcg supplement per day at this time of year.

GOOD HEALTH Why you shouldn't rely on a smartwatch to check blood pressure Daily Mail, Tuesday, October 13, 2026

THEY flash up reassuring figures about your heart rate, sleep patterns and daily steps – and may even warn if your blood pressure is dangerously high.

But new research shows relying on certain smartwatches to track your blood pressure could leave millions falsely believing they are in the clear, potentially leaving them at increased risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Around 16 million people in the UK are known to have high blood pressure (or hypertension); another five million may be affected without realising, as it can be symptomless. However, if the force of blood pushing against artery walls is consistently high, it puts strain on the heart and blood vessels – increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Some smartwatches promise to help spot the problem.

They don't measure blood pressure in the same way as the cuff used by a GP or pharmacist, which inflates around the upper arm to measure pressure in the artery.

Instead, they use sensors to pick up the pulse at the wrist - an

algorithm uses this information to estimate the blood pressure.

This estimate can, however, be affected by movement, or the position of the arm or watch.

Yet millions rely on them. Blood pressure-monitoring smart devices include the Apple Watch – which is used by 200 million people globally

\- while those made by Huawei, Samsung and Xiaomi have more than 400 million users. A version of the Apple Watch launched a year ago had its ‘hypertension notification feature’ approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. It features an optical sensor which uses light to track the pulse at the wrist.

High blood pressure changes the way that pulse travels through the arteries, so the watch looks for those changes over 30 days, building up an average reading.

But recent research in the journal JAMA found worrying evidence that it failed to detect more than half of those who had undiagnosed high blood pressure. (The NHS considers blood pressure high at

135/85 or above when measured at home. An ideal reading is between 90/60 and 120/80.)

In 92 per cent of these cases, there was – correctly – no alert, but 7 per cent were warned their blood pressure was high (when 30 days of monitoring with a proper cuff had already confirmed it wasn't). Apple said the feature is ‘not intended to diagnose, treat or aid in the management of hypertension or other conditions’.

This study follows a warning last year from the American Heart Association that smart-watches and other wearables designed to track blood pressure are not yet reliable enough to diagnose the condition.

more AF-related medical appointments, heart tests and procedures.

Experts at the University of Pennsylvania analysed Apple's test data involving 1,800 volunteers to determine how often it got readings right or wrong. They then combined that with separate US data from another 4,000 adults, to work out how many with undiagnosed high blood pressure would be likely to receive a warning if the watch was used more widely.

‘Cuffless blood pressure devices are convenient and capable of frequent or continuous monitoring,’ says Dr Jordana Cohen, a hypertension consultant at the University of Pennsylvania in the US, who was part of the American Heart Association review.

'AF patients who used wearables reported more cardiac-specific anxiety than those who didn't, with 20 per cent describing intense anxiety triggered by device alerts,' Lindsey Rosman, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, who led the study, told Good Health.

Nearly half of wearable users checked their heart rate or performed an ECG every day, often out of habit rather than because they had symptoms.

‘However, the speed of commercialisation has outpaced the science. Without proper validation, readings from cuffless blood pressure devices are not reliable enough to inform treatment decisions.’

fibrillation (AF) – an irregular heartbeat – can allow blood to pool in the heart, forming clots and increasing the risk of stroke.

Just 30 of the 264 in the study - 11.4 per cent - were subsequently found to have a heart problem that required medical action.

This is because there are limits to the electrocardiogram (ECG) function built into smartwatches to measure heart rate and the heart's electrical activity.

ECG machines used in GP surgeries and hospitals take 12 different electrical measurements, giving doctors a detailed picture.

‘Most ECGs in smartwatches are “single lead”, meaning they use just one electrode sensor to measure the electrical activity of the heart,’ says Ruth Goss, a cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation.

SHE adds that harmless extra heartbeats, exercise, movement or poor contact between the watch and skin can all produce unusual readings.

‘Smartwatches aren’t designed to give you a diagnosis,’ she says.

‘That kind of routine checking tends to feed anxiety rather than settle it,’ says Dr Rosman. ‘Most people don’t have the context they need to understand and respond to these health alerts.’

There is also growing evidence that repeated alerts can make some users anxious and lead to more medical appointments. In a 2024 study involving 172 people with AF, one in five of those using a smartwatch or fitness tracker reported intense fear or anxiety when it warned of a possible AF episode, reported the Journal of the American Heart Association.

It wasn't just that people wearing the devices were supposedly ill – they'd reported no more AF symptoms than non-wearers. Yet over nine months they had 50 per cent

She adds: 'If you don't know what your own normal heart rate looks like, any unusual reading can feel like a red flag. A faster heart rate after climbing stairs is nothing to worry about but, without that context, an alert can feel like an emergency.'

There are similar doubts over 'stress' scores offered by many smartwatches.

In a 2025 study in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, 781 students wore a Garmin watch for three months. The device tracks changes in the time between heartbeats, which can reflect how the body responds to pressure or exertions, using them to calculate a stress score. Researchers compared the watch's stress reading with how stressed the students actually reported feeling several times a day.

'What users reported about their stress level and what the watch reported consistently failed to line up,' says Bjorn Siepe, a researcher at Philipps University of Marburg, in Germany, who led the study.

‘When someone is dancing, walking fast, or doing any somewhat exhausting activity, the smartwatch might think that they are stressed.

‘Then reading that you’re stressed – even though you might not have felt that way – could induce people to worry about what they are doing wrong, even though there is no good reason for doing so.’

Ruth Goss adds: 'While these devices can be useful for tracking physical activity and health trends, it's crucial that people understand that they are not as reliable as the medical tests at a GP surgery or hospital, such as an ECG or a cuff-based blood pressure monitor.

‘It can be easy to become fixated on the numbers and readings. For some people, wearing a fitness tracker could be more harmful to their well-being than not wearing one.’

The remarkable study that's changed WHEN I eat my meals

BEHIND THE HEALTH HEADLINES

by PROFESSOR

ROB

GALLOWAY

WE ALL know that what we eat has a massive impact on our health. But now there's evidence that our diet – more specifically, the timing of our meals – could actually help treat serious illness and potentially prevent conditions such as dementia.

For people like me with gut-related problems, this is potentially huge.

I have lived with Crohn's disease since my early 20s, although it took years before I was diagnosed and for a long time I put my symptoms down to stress. But that's a story for another day.

My symptoms include abdominal pain, fatigue and diarrhoea.

able to eat after we had successfully hunted prey. But now we have high-fat, high-sugar food available 24/7.

I'm doing it to ease my troubling gut symptoms, but it could help you control your blood sugar and lose weight

The first real clue about the impact of fasting came in a landmark study published in 2012, that showed that mice fed a high-fat diet but only allowed to eat within an eight-hour window were protected against obesity, high insulin levels, inflammation and fatty liver.

Needing the loo six to ten times a is difficult enough at home – let alone at work – so the idea that changing when I eat, rather than what or how much, could ease my symptoms is exciting.

Picture: SHUTTERSTOCK

And this is what a study recently published in the journal Gastroenterology seems to suggest.

More recently, researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre looked at the impact of TRE on ageing in mice and found that those limited to eating to either eight or 12 hours were less frail and had less body fat – while the males also aged more slowly (why males only is not clear), reported Nature Aging in June.

It found that when people with Crohn's disease changed just their mealtimes – ie they weren't asked to give up specific foods or cut calories – their symptoms improved significantly.

BUT not every study has been as positive. Most notably, a review by the authoritative Cochrane group earlier this year found that intermittent fasting produced little or no more weight loss than conventional dietary advice.

While this finding is important for me and others with an inflammatory bowel condition, the implications and potential benefits extend to all of us.

HE research, from the universities of Calgary and British Columbia, both in Canada, looked specifically at the effect of time-restricted eating (TRE) – where you have your meals within a set number of hours each day – on patients with Crohn's.

In a 12-week trial, 20 of the 35 participants (who were all obese) ate within an eight-hour window (for example 10am to 6pm) for six days a week; the rest continued their usual eating patterns.

Despite the two groups reporting a similar quality diet and calorie intake, the fasting group lost an average of 2.5kg (5.5lb), while the others gained about 1.7kg (3.7lb).

In addition, scans showed a reduction in the fat surrounding internal organs in the fasting group, compared with an increase in the others.

The TRE group also experienced beneficial changes in their gut bacteria, including a more varied mixture of microbes and an increase in some bacteria that produce substances known to help regulate inflammation. Plus, they had significant changes in three proteins linked to fat tissue, inflammation and the immune system.

Crucially, these included leptin – which is produced mainly by fat cells and helps control appetite, but also plays a role in regulating immunity.

While we don't understand for certain why TRE had this effect on gut microbes and inflammation, having regular periods with no food may alter the balance of the bacteria, encouraging those that produce substances that help regulate inflammation.

Despite this being a small preliminary study, the findings highlight how our body clock does much more than determine when we feel sleepy; it's crucial for our digestion, hormone release and blood-sugar control.

And eating within a restricted window and avoiding food late in the evening, may help us work with our body clock rather than against it – for instance, our bodies are generally more sensitive to the hormone insulin earlier in the day and therefore better able to deal with a rise in blood sugar after a meal.

But we do know that excess inflammation is central to Crohn's and other types of inflammatory bowel disease – tellingly for me, the TRE group reported a 40 per cent fall in bowel movements and

We know that disrupting these rhythms can matter because people who work night shifts a 50 per cent reduction in abdominal discomfort, improvements not seen in the control group.

have higher rates of obesity and metabolic disease, such as type 2 diabetes.

Major proof for all this came in an analysis of 41 trials, published in BMJ Medicine earlier this year, which found that TRE improved weight, waist size, blood sugar and insulin levels, compared with usual eating patterns.

But perhaps more interestingly, those who ate earlier in the day generally did better than those who ate later – losing about 1kg more and having lower insulin levels. However, simply making the eating window shorter and shorter did not consistently produce better results.

The idea that restricting when we eat can be beneficial makes evolutionary sense.

In the past, we would only be

This prompted ‘fasting doesn’t work’-type headlines – but the fact is, the participants still lost weight. Plus, the review did not look at whether timing might have benefits for metabolism, inflammation and the gut.

For me, time-restricted eating seems to have potential to improve metabolic health and reduce some of the processes linked to inflammation, which is relevant to all of us because inflammation is contributory to chronic conditions including heart disease, stroke and dementia.

So after reviewing all the research, I'm going to try and keep my calories within an eight-hour window – from 10am to 6pm. Because it's not just what you eat that matters, but when.

NOTE: Don't try TRE if you are pregnant or lactating – and if you have any medical condition, speak to your GP first.

Can LSD really help banish chronic anxiety?

TREATING crippling anxiety can be very difficult. Current treatments do not work for everyone, so recent headlines that a single dose of LSD could relieve anxiety for three months were eye-catching.

Wanting to find out more, I looked for the study in a scientific journal – all I could find was a press release from a drug company and write-up on its website.

Definium Therapeutics announced results from a trial involving 245 people with generalised anxiety disorder.

After 12 weeks, those given the higher dose of LSD had improved by an average of 9.8 points on an anxiety scale, compared with 4.7 points in those given a placebo.

Of course, if you're having an LSD trip, you'd know you weren't in the dummy treatment group - and that might skew the results. The researchers recognised this problem and included a smaller group given half the dose of LSD. Anxiety scores fell by about 9.8 points with the full dose and 8.3 points with the half dose.

But only 52 patients received the lower dose and, importantly, the company says the study wasn't designed to statistically compare the two doses. That means we can't say they worked almost as well as each other. And that matters because if the higher dose is actually better, it confirms it's the drug and not a placebo effect.

There is another problem that, in many ways, is more serious.

I could only find these particular results on the company's website - not a full report in a medical journal that has had the benefit of independent reviewers asking questions and getting clarifications before publication.

That does not make the results wrong. I'm not dismissing the possibility that LSD might help. But before the full scientific paper is available, we should not see this as a breakthrough.

What we definitely don't want is people thinking about trying LSD to cure their anxiety - these studies used incredibly wellstudies used incredibly well-controlled doses of a manufactured drug under medical supervision with only pure LSD - which is certainly nothing like illegal LSD, with the dangerous fallout from it I've seen in A&E.

Bloated and gassy? It may be your acid reflux pills

Q I'VE TAKEN omeprazole for nearly 30 years. I've tried stopping it several times, but the acid reflux always comes back. Recently, I noticed changes in my bowel habit but blood tests and a colonoscopy were normal. I wonder if a lack of good gut bacteria could be behind this and if probiotics might help?

A CHANGE in bowel habit can be linked to serious conditions, so it's reassuring that your blood tests and colonoscopy were normal.

I suspect that omeprazole is the key here. This is a type of proton-pump inhibitor – drugs widely prescribed to treat reflux.

They work by suppressing stomach-acid production – but over time this can make you more vulnerable to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), where too many bacteria grow in the small intestine. Common symptoms include bloating, excessive gas and diarrhoea.

People on acid-suppressing drugs, such as omeprazole, are also more likely to develop constipation (partly because they can upset the balance of gut microbes). Stomach acid normally kills off bacteria that arrive in food. But if acid levels are low, bad bacteria can flourish where they shouldn't – which increases the risk of SIBO.

The only reliable way to confirm it's SIBO is a breath test for traces of hydrogen or methane produced by the bacteria.

Your GP can refer you for this – or the gastroenterology team who did your colonoscopy should be able to arrange it. This should be your next step.

If SIBO is confirmed, it can be treated with antibiotics, such as rifaximin.

As for probiotics, there is no harm in trying one, although there is currently little hard evidence they're effective for SIBO.

Q MY HUSBAND began suffering with a severe headache a year ago. Scans have ruled out other problems and he’s been

diagnosed with migraine. He's been given Botox injections and the drug Aquipta but these didn't help. He is in pain day and night. When he can, he still goes to work – but every day is a struggle.

Name and address supplied.

A WHAT you describe sounds like chronic migraine - essentially migraine occurring on 15 or more days a month. It is sometimes described more prosaically as chronic daily headache because the headaches occur so frequently.

Standard migraine drugs such as triptans can be helpful at easing symptoms – but taking them frequently and longer-term (ten or more days per month for several months, for instance) can lead to rebound headaches, where the treatment itself can make headaches worse.

Botox injections can be effective in preventing or minimising attacks. Exactly how it works is not known, but it appears to interrupt part of the network of nerves and blood vessels involved in migraine. The standard approach is to administer 30 or more Botox injections into the muscles of the head and neck, and repeat after 12 weeks. But this won't work for everyone.

Then there is Aquipta, the drug your husband was prescribed. It's one of a new group of migraine drugs which block calcitonin gene-related peptide, a protein linked to migraine pain.

Studies show the drug halved the number of migraine days in four in ten patients. Again, helpful but not perfect.

The fact that these two potent treatments have not worked for your husband does not rule out migraine, but I question whether this is the correct diagnosis.

What is needed is consultation with an expert, as there are other possibilities, such as giant cell arteritis, which causes inflammation of arteries in the head, neck and arms.

You say in your longer letter that he's waiting to see an NHS neurologist. In the meantime, I'd suggest asking his GP for another prescription for Aquipta, and to take it daily or every other day.

IN MY VIEW... It's vital to breathe through your nose

DID you know that the air flow through your nose alternates between the two nostrils?

Known as the nasal cycle, it means one passage remains open while the other is partly congested as the blood vessels swell up – the sides then change over roughly every two hours.

The purpose of this isn't fully understood, but it may be that it allows the two sides to take turns at the different jobs – while one side handles more of the airflow, the other clears mucus and trapped particles.

This matters as air flow through the nose influences much of what goes on elsewhere in our body - for example, synchronising activity in brain areas such as the olfactory cortex (which processes smells), the amygdala (involved in processing emotions) and the hippocampus (important for memory) - which does not occur when mouth breathing. The nose and sinuses also filter the air before it is inhaled into the lungs.

The message here is that breathing through the nose is important. Yet many people breathe through their mouths, even if they have no nasal congestion. So do your utmost to change this, even if you have to consciously retrain yourself.

EVERY year, around 4,000 Britons will be hit by invasive aspergillosis, a severe fungal infection caused by a mould that can lurk in compost heaps, rotting leaves or even pillows and duvets.

Untreated, it is almost always fatal. Even when treatment is available, between a third and half of patients will die within weeks – it is often spotted late, and usually occurs in patients whose immune systems are damaged and cannot help drugs fight the infection. Sometimes the Aspergillus mould that causes the infection is resistant to treatment.

Little wonder, then, that patients and doctors are excited about the arrival of a new medication, which has been decades in the making.

But there are also fears that pesticides used in farming to fight fungi create ‘superfungi’ that are resilient to medicine – rendering the drugs ineffective before they even hit shelves.

The drug, Olorofim, targets an enzyme that moulds need to grow and replicate. In a trial it worked as well as current drugs but with half the side-effects.

Following those results, the manufacturer is preparing submissions for medical regulators. If approved, Olorofim will be the first new treatment in over 20 years for invasive aspergillosis, a condition where Aspergillus mould spreads into lungs and other organs.

We desperately need new treatments, particularly for patients whose infections are resistant to existing drugs or who cannot tolerate them,' says Lisa McNeil, chair of the Aspergillosis Trust. 'Having another option can mean hope when existing treatments are limited.'

Lindsey Collins, 38, is one of them. She was diagnosed with an invasive aspergillosis infection in her brain shortly after giving birth to her son, Noah, in 2020.

GOOD HEALTH How pesticides are making us more vulnerable to a lethal fungus like the one that was found in Lindsey's brain

Hospital infection: Lindsey Collins

She'd had an emergency caesarean after developing pre-eclampsia (dangerously high blood pressure in pregnancy) alongside a chest infection.

AFTER the delivery, she was put in an induced coma to help her body fight the infection – but had a series of strokes and a cardiac arrest.

As Lindsey recovered, a scan revealed masses in her lungs and on her brain, eventually diagnosed (following a biopsy) as Aspergillus fungi. The strokes left her temporarily paralysed.

'I had to learn how to walk again. By the time I finally got to hold Noah for the first time he was nine weeks old,' Lindsey recalls. 'The journey through it was very, very hard – and now I had this other thing on top of it.'

But it was only three years later that she learned how bleak her prognosis really was. 'The doctor said, "You have up to five years, and we'll be kind of lucky if we can push it after that", she says.

Now nearing six years since her diagnosis, the conversation hangs over Lindsey, a single mum who lives with her parents in Cork, Ireland.

‘I’m not ready to go,’ she says. ‘But I have prepared for Noah. I got him books on how to understand that I was gone, and where I had gone. I’ve tried to get things in order, but it’s so hard.’

By KAT LAY

pregnant with Noah, I was such an active person. I was constantly out. I was working 12-hour shifts.'

Thanks to treatment with potent antifungals, some of the masses on her brain have shrunk - but a large mass at the front of it remains. So the prospect of an alternative drug becoming available is ‘fantastic’, says Lindsey.

The potential problem with Olorofim is that a fungicide called ipflufenquin, used on crops, targets the same enzyme. When fungus is exposed to an antifungal drug or a fungicide, it gives that fungus the chance to develop resistance to the chemical.

'The fungus that we get infected with typically comes from the environment – it lives on grasses, soil and things like that,' says Professor Rebecca Drummond, a specialist in fungal immunology at the University of Birmingham. 'If they are picking up drug resistance in the environment, then before your patient has even been given a medication, they can be infected with a drug-resistant strain.'

The threat is not purely theoretical, but has played out before with other antifungal drugs known as azoles – one of the most widely used because they are cheap, can be given in various formulations including orally and work against a variety of fungi (Lindsey is being treated with an azole, Cresemba).

Already, Professor Drummond says, there is ‘quite good evidence that some of the drug-resistant infections that we see in patients [were] acquired in the environment because of agricultural use of antifungal drugs’.

Indeed, resistance to azoles used in farming to protect cereal crops from Aspergillus is a growing problem.

And a study published in the journal Nature Microbiology in 2024 showed that exposing Aspergillus mould to ipflufenoquin led to the development of strains resistant to Olorofim.

David Denning, a professor of infectious diseases in global health at The University of Manchester, who founded the company behind Olorofim, says being faced with a patient whose fungal infection cannot be cured with existing drugs is ‘awful’.

‘There’s the invasive ones, which kill people in the space of a week or two – and then there’s the chronic ones, which just get worse and worse over weeks or months,' he says. 'Both of those situations are dire. I've seen many patients who have died due to resistant fungi who could have been saved if we had new drugs.'

Most people breathe in hundreds or thousands of Aspergillus spores daily with no ill-effects, he adds – ‘just living your life, walking around, going to bed with a bit of Aspergillus in your pillow and the duvet [where they thrive in the moist, warm conditions] – we are all exposed to this’.

BUT if someone's immune system is weakened, such as cancer patients, or they have a lung condition such as cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease then they are particularly vulnerable.

Lindsey does not know how or where she picked up the fungal infection, although she fears that renovations in hospital while she was an inpatient might have released spores into the air.

Drug-resistant fungal infections in general are an increasing concern. For example, Candida auris is resistant to many drugs and has caused outbreaks in hospitals globally, including in the UK.

When it comes to antifungal drugs, ‘we don’t have a huge number of options', says Darius Armstrong-James, a professor of infectious diseases and medical mycology at Imperial College London. 'If a new one becomes available, then we want to do everything we can to preserve it.'

But it is not as simple as banning fungicides. Globally, some 10 to 23 per cent of crops are lost to fungal infections each year.

‘What we’re talking about is the balance between food security by protecting crops against preserving critical drugs for human use,’ says Professor Armstrong-James.

He was one of 130 experts who wrote to a parliamentary inquiry on antimicrobial resistance last year warning that the UK was ‘lagging behind’ other countries which had specific frameworks in place to assess those risks.

Ipflufenquin is used on crops such as apples, pears and almonds in Canada, Australia, US and Japan, with EU approval pending. While it's not used in the UK, Professor Denning believes it 'very likely' that resistant fungi would find their way here.

'There's a need to protect food resources – the challenge is that many of these fungicides are used in specialised crops,' he says. 'You wonder what the equation is, with almonds or almond milk, versus patients who are dying of untreatable fungal infections.'

ANIMAL MAGIC

Lindsey has had chronic chest infections for the past six years.

She says: 'I can't help but wonder every morning, is this my last day? Will I see Christmas, and the joy it brings Noah?' she asks.

Her symptoms, such as poor memory and extreme fatigue, meant she had to give up her job as a carer for adults with disabilities. She says: 'Before I was

Goodbye to joint pain with Collagen Prime Cream!

You must have Collagen for good joint health

Arthritis? Joint pain or inflammation? Try Prime Cream, you can't lose!

Collagen is your body's most abundant natural protein, making up around $33\%$ of your body. It's in your bones, joints, muscles and other types of connective tissue. As we age, the body's collagen production slows down or even stops. In fact, there is a school of thought which suggests that if you're over 30, your body can no longer make its own collagen. We need collagen for healthy joints, physical resilience and the ability to recover from injuries. The body loses 1.5 per cent every year, so by the age of 60, we have lost over 60 per cent!

JOINT HEALTH SOLUTION

Now, Collagen Prime Cream offers a new solution. With its unique combination of 16 all- natural ingredients – including 3 different types of Collagen, Glucosamine, Aloe vera and vitamins A, D and E – you'll soon discover why Collagen Prime Cream is better than any other product available. In fact over 97.3% of people trying the product have seen significant benefits in two weeks or less.

Barbara Davis, 65, was worried she would no longer be able to enjoy quality time with her grandchildren and be unable to care for her beautiful garden in Clifton.

"I want to be as active as I can, but it just gets harder as you get older. I haven't really got a choice, as I help to take my grandchildren to school every other day, and try and spend all of my spare time with them. They definitely keep me mentally young, but my body just can't manage to keep up! I'm very proud of our garden too, however the kneeling and pruning has really taken its toll on my joints – especially my hips, knees and hands. I took the usual vitamins and ointments to try and help, but it didn't seem as if anything was helping to relieve joint pain relief, or to improve my mobility. Then one Friday morning, I was at the café on the High Street with my niece and her Friend, and it was quite embarrassing. My hands and wrists were so painful, I couldn't even pour the tea!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

My niece's friend obviously noticed, and said her Gran suffered with the same problems, but she had found a product called Collagen Prime Cream and had seen a big improvement. I knew about Collagen, but thought it was just for wrinkles! 'I need some of that', I said, 'but what about my joints?!' She smiled, and told me that although Collagen is good for skin and used in lots of cosmetic products, it also is the glue that holds our bodies together, joints, skin, muscles, everything! Her Gran had found it great for joint pain in her hands and knees and she even said it's been good for her skin as well!

"The Closest Shave I've Ever Had"

"I've been shaving for over 50 years, and I can honestly say the Power4 electric shaver has given me the closest and smoothest shave I've ever had. I used to switch between wet shaving and electric, but now I only use the Power4. It's incredibly fast, fits the contours of my face perfectly, and doesn't leave any irritation.

I suffer from arthritis in my hands, so I sometimes find it hard to grip, but the Power4 is easy to handle and makes the job quick and easy. And the pop-up trimmer keeps my sideburns and neck tidy!

With the 90-day money-back trial. I was able to try it out myself and see how good it was at no risk, and it beat all my expectations, and I would highly recommend it, it's great value for money!" John M., Warwick

AMBITIOUS PROJECT

DIY SOS, 8pm, BBC1

ONE of the most daunting builds in the show's history, this is all about getting Daniel home. Three years ago he suffered a stroke while being operated on for a brain tumour, and the family home is no longer suitable for him. With mum Julie (pictured with Daniel) living with him in hospital accommodation 50 miles away

from husband Nigel and their two other children, it's a sad situation that has fractured the whole family. Their two-bedroom bungalow needs to be transformed into a wheelchair-friendly home for five, but that is an incredibly tall order which means completing an extension and a new roof in just one day. Yes, you read that right, and yes, there will be some carefully edited swearing. But this family are deserving of the ambition.

JOHN SIMPSON — SIXTY YEARS AT THE BBC, 9PM, BBC2

---

BBC1

'I'VE been at the BBC for more years than most people have been married.' John Simpson (pictured) looks back on his broadcasting career and the

momentous changes he has witnessed, from the 1979 revolution in Iran, through the Falklands crisis and the fall of the Berlin Wall in the 1980s, to the contemporary rise of ‘fake news’. He also recalls encounters with some of the world’s most influential, and infamous, figures, including Nelson Mandela and Saddam Hussein. As a witness to

history, Simpson's journalistic recollections here are peppered with personal insights, such as Margaret Thatcher's fondness for ‘tall, younger men’, which he believes gave him an advantage. He had no such advantage in Beirut in 1982, and he recalls being tortured as ‘an exercise in awfulness’ — wait until you hear how he redressed the balance. That and other brushes with death are a stark reminder of the risks that journalists like John face while reporting in volatile countries as dangerous events unfold. As you might expect, he’s loyal to his employer, but does also reflect on the challenges the BBC faces, now and in the future.

Shiver me timbers! You wouldn't mess with this menacing Long John Silver

women have the glint of cold ambition in their eyes.

THE reason anybody pretending to be a pirate usually sounds like a

warm-up act for The Wurzels is because Robert Newton, who played Long John Silver in the 1950 film of Treasure Island, came from Cornwall.

He became the definitive Silver, which is quite an achievement because nobody sounds evil and threatening in a West Country accent. Imagine Darth Vader with actor David Prowse's original Bristolian and you'll see what I mean.

Silver is played in Paramount's version of Treasure Island by the highly reliable David Oyelowo, who looks and behaves as if he's spent three years on a traditional pirate ship to prepare for the role. This Silver speaks with a Caribbean accent, and you really don't want to mess with him.

Even his smile carries an air of underlying menace — like an undertaker who has just heard about an imminent outbreak of plague.

When he arrives at the Admiral Benbow pub in search of his

MICHAEL'S MENU: There's always something challenging for Michael Palin to eat on his travels. In the final episode of Michael Palin In The Philippines (Ch5) he tried durian, a fruit that smells of rotten eggs. His verdict: 'Like eating a sofa.' With lines like that, is it too late to recruit him for MasterChef?

shipmate Billy Bones, you can feel the fear as he hobbles on his wooden leg through the door.

And for a one-legged man, he didn't have much trouble fighting off a group of armed militia men. I couldn't tell exactly how many he fought because it was quite dark in the pub.

Quite a lot of the action from the first episode takes place in subdued lighting. In theory, this creates an atmosphere of darkness and terror. In practice, it's just difficult to see what's going on.

The script took a few liberties with the Robert Louis Stevenson original. Perhaps the biggest change — and rather a clever one — is that young Jim Hawkins is a teenage Mr Memory act. If there were an 18th-century version of Britain’s Got Talent, Simon Cowell would be putting on his ‘surprised’ face.

The pub is run by his scheming and ambitious mother, Bess, played by Hayley Atwell, and is

supposedly not a profitable concern. (Which is odd, because it seems to be packed every time the cameras visit).

So to make money, she bets customers that Jim cannot perfectly recite a page from The Bible picked by one of them. It takes just one glance for him to be word-perfect.

In the book, Mrs Hawkins stays at home while Jim goes off in search of treasure and adventure. In this version, she is the driving force. At times she reminded me of Victoria Beckham — both

Mrs Hawkins uses all the weapons available to an attractive widow. And it turns out that she's pretty good with a pistol and sword, too.

Treasure Island is action-packed and highly watchable. I really have only one serious complaint: when is the parrot going to get some lines?

TYSON, NETFLIX

'THE way you fight your fight is the way you live your life,' says Mike Tyson in this four-part profile, which feels like an attempt to set the record straight. 'Reckless' is the way he describes his approach, as he looks back on his rough upbringing in Brooklyn ('I used to rob on these streets'), discovering his first love (pigeons), and the impact of the trainer Cus D'Amato. 'He cleaned a dirty mind and he made it better,' reflects Tyson of the uncompromising D'Amato, who died when Tyson was 19. Control is a huge theme here.

CRIME INVESTIGATION Stacey Dooley: Fallen Women, 9pm, BBC3/10.40pm, BBC1

STACEY Dooley investigates the worrying numbers of women in abusive relationships who meet their deaths in falls from height. There were 31 such incidents in the last five years. Are they really tragic accidents or suicide, or were they pushed? And are their killers getting away with murder? Speaking to Janine, who survived being pushed over a bannister to a drop of more than 15ft but is left with life-changing injuries, as well as grieving family members, police and experts, Stacey concludes that some red flags should not be ignored.

It comes up again when the documentary deals with his mother, the influence of his wife Robin Givens, and the way Tyson controlled his emotions. Lennox Lewis, an early sparring partner, recalls the Jekyll and Hyde experience of sparring with a vicious Tyson in the ring — then hanging out with the nice version outside of it. The series also deals with Givens's allegations of violence, and his conviction for rape in 1992. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the presence of President Trump, who is interviewed by virtue of his involvement in boxing during the 1980s.

AN INVITATION arrives today to opt in to something that you might never have imagined choosing for yourself. It would be easy to say no on instinct. But knowing what you want is sometimes only possible after you have tried enough of what you don't. There is a chance to surprise yourself if you can let curiosity outweigh fear today. Saying yes to an unfamiliar experience will at least give you clarity on what you want. Curious about love, career or life choices? Get personalised guidance – call 0905 789 0301\*

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 IT'S not just beauty but usefulness that is in the eye of the beholder. Most households have a gadget or gizmo which unexpectedly becomes indispensable. Today reminds you that what you think you want and what serves you can be very different things. You may be weighing up an offer that doesn't match your plans. Try not to dismiss it because it wasn't part of the original picture. Sometimes the best things in life arrive without you having to order them. Curious about love, career or life choices? Get personalised guidance – call 0905 789 0302\*

ASK a group of people where they want to eat and almost everybody will say they don't mind. Then, of course, half the table ends up disappointed. Why is it so difficult to speak up about a preference? For some it comes from a sense of being too influential. The responsibility for making a decision on somebody else's behalf is a big deal - you're right to take it seriously. Don't shy away from speaking your mind today.

that many struggle to grasp. You're aware that sadness and surprisingly humorous moments often arrive from the same event. Nuance is an acquired taste that not everyone can bear. It comes from the wisdom of experience. You are revisiting something tender today. Don't be in a rush to move past what resurfaces.

IT'S wise advice to be careful what you wish for. As the Moon in Scorpio squares expansive Jupiter in Leo, the question of desire is brought into sharp focus today. How do we know what we truly want? Jupiter promises abundance but this tense angle can make it

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 CASTING an infant school show is no mean feat. It's useful to remember the adage 'there are no such things as small parts' when difficult decisions must be made. You are well past nativity days, but this is still pertinent advice to a matter you are dealing with today. An opportunity may come your way that is not quite the starring role you had in mind. Disappointment is understandable. But dismissing it risks overlooking what it puts within reach. Curious about love, career or life choices? Get personalised guidance – call 0905 789 0305\*

often frustrating. Just because you're not showing your inner exasperation today does not mean it is unimportant. It's easy to assume that if an opportunity took this long to arrive it must be second best. That is not necessarily true. Timing has its own logic and somebody may have been fighting your corner all along. Something positive is arriving now and with good reason. You deserve a happy outcome.

EVEN the best bargains come with a cost. It is easy to choose something simply because it is good value, rather than because it is what you really want.

Today you may find yourself drawn to an offer because it seems too good a deal to miss. Pause before you commit. Choosing what genuinely satisfies you is a far better investment than collecting things that look impressive on paper but still leave you hungry for genuine fulfilment.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

IT'S not easy to break out of old habits. But sometimes, recognising that things have changed enough to be reconsidered is the best way to create space for something more aligned to arrive. Are you still championing a cause that once lit you up but has now started to feel like an obligation? Today asks what you want rather than what you believe you ought to want.

Truly, no good deed will go unpunished

BACK in 1951, I was at Stone Lane junior school in Gosport. I was ten years old and not a confident child, which was understandable as I was in care. But I had a compassionate side. The school had its bullies, and I had to navigate through them. One ploy was to offer them some of my precious sweets, bought from our weekly allowance of 6d (2½p). One day in the playground, I noticed a little lad, obviously in distress, just standing there. He would have been about seven and had obviously had an ‘accident’. I just felt for him, as I had experienced similar anxiety at a previous school, when I

had just entered the National Children's Home. I grabbed another boy from my class and told him we must take the lad into school to report the matter. The teacher asked if we would take him

into the washroom and clean him up! He went off to get some clean clothes.

So there we were, out of our depth, washing down this little fella and trying to cheer him up. Afterwards, he seemed much happier.

In our class, the teacher praised us for our actions but added: 'I hope this will serve you in good stead and keep you away from any canings!'

It was usual then to get the cane for sloppy work, talking in class, chewing, etc.

Just two days later I was guilty of one of the above and was summoned to the front of the class, where I had my hand severely whacked. 'I wondered who was going to spoil it first!' said the teacher. I looked at my classmate in despair – trust me!

Out Of The Mouths Of Babes

FURTHER to the letter about the little girl's brother who conned her into giving him the cherry off her cake by telling her she didn't like them, this reminded me of when my daughter and son were about five and six years old. They had been given a packet of crisps to keep them quiet – too quiet, I thought, so I went to investigate. I found my son kneeling behind the bars of a kitchen chair, pretending to be a baby monkey with his mouth open, while his sister fed him her crisps – he had scoffed all of his! They are in their 60s now but we still have a laugh over it.

Today's poem TIME

You go through the motions of living,

You walk and you talk and you smile,

You manage some washing and cleaning,

And even eat, once in a while.

And so, and so we continue

Enacting a pointless charade,

Hiding the craters and rubble

Behind a fragile façade.

Time, people say, is a healer,

They even believe what they say,

But Time leads the way to the future,

And I only want yesterday.

Sick men of Europe

THE EU's economic condition is dire, as Alex Brummer expertly outlined in the Daily Mail last week.

France is in its last-chance saloon with debt of 120 per cent of GDP. Italy is at 140 per cent and Spain's good times are over.

Germany can no longer bail out these basket cases because its own economy is failing, and the ECB has no room to fund a recovery.

No, Mr Burnham. We cannot afford to rejoin this group when we are also in debt up to our necks, with no growth. It would be like two drunks trying to hold each other up. We must focus on our own recovery, using our political freedom to do so and concentrating on international trade.

Sibling loss

I WAS moved by some words of neuroscientist Dr Mary-Frances O'Connor in the online course Redefining Grief, which she made with Prince Harry. 'Your brain doesn't register your loved one as gone. It registers them as lost, and it will keep searching,' she said.

My older brother John died of sarcoma in 1982, so I appreciated the truth of that insight. I also applaud Amanda Platell for the moving articles she has written for the Daily Mail about losing her brother.

As Earl Spencer says in his new book, when you have lost a sibling, 'you never get over it'.

Catch my drift

IN HER investigation of ‘boy racers’ (Daily Mail), Mimi Yates made no reference to their insurance policies.

It may sound boring but the terms of any policy will state that modifications to a car can invalidate it. So the racers doing ‘drifting’ and doughnuts may appear insured but won’t be in the event of an accident.

Love at work

READING about Match Of The Day hosts Mark Chapman and Kelly Cates's relationship (Daily Mail) reminded me of when I worked at the BBC's old White City HQ in the 1980s.

A friendship with a colleague (we were both single, with no baggage) developed secretly, then we went public and got engaged.

One day in the lift, Barry Cryer congratulated me but commented: 'Not a good move, Shelagh. Word of warning: affairs at the Beeb are tolerated but going official is different!'

Even though nothing was said and Michael Parkinson attended our celebration drinks, I was later moved sideways to another department.

Good luck to Mark and Kelly. Hopefully the BBC are a bit more open-minded now.

Three attempts were made to hang him but each time the trapdoor failed

Red or dud

TWO readers (Letters) allege that Andy Burnham is proving to be Britain's worst PM ever. Clearly not everyone agrees with that verdict, given that according to a YouGov poll, his leadership has resulted in Labour having a five point lead over their closest rivals, Reform UK.

THE poll showing a clear lead for Labour only goes to show we have become a nation of morons.

Islamophobic?

INTERESTING to read that Robert Jenrick has been reported to the police and referred to Prevent over comments he made about Islam.

Perhaps officials reporting people to the police and Prevent need investigating themselves if they can't make sound judgments and waste the time of government departments.

Monkey abuse

Too keen to claim ADHD and autism?

Labelled a dreamer: Einstein

THE government-commissioned report on ADHD and autism highlighted issues of possible overdiagnosis and its consequences, such as incorrect labelling and unnecessary medical intervention. It seems children and adults alike are now actively seeking the advantages of an ADHD diagnosis, such as extra time in exams and PIP payments. Inattention, impulsivity and impatience may indicate ADHD but many children demonstrate these behaviours at school, especially if they are struggling academically. Equally, those who seem prone to daydreaming may not have ADHD. After all, many great minds, including Albert Einstein, were labelled dreamers at school.

As a retired head teacher and school inspector, it saddens me that we are medicalising what may be a different style of learning. It could be argued that we are all neurodiverse, as no two people learn in the same way. The learning support department and special needs teachers are uniquely placed to recognise and hopefully provide support for those children who need it, before they are saddled with the label of ‘problem child’.

It is interesting to note that the soaring levels of those claiming to have ADHD or autism correlate with overreliance on smartphones. As schools wake up to this fact, teachers are reporting much improved concentration in classrooms.

PATRICIA NORTH, Abingdon, Oxon

AS A teacher of children with specific educational needs for more than 30 years, I am appalled by the numbers being diagnosed with autism or ADHD. I have seen too many cases of huge amounts of money being paid out privately to psychologists, who always give the positive result expected by parents. Disability

benefits and extra time in examinations are then dished out. These children will feel disabled for life unless this malpractice stops.

ANN THOMAS, Solihull, W. Mids

WE ARE deeply concerned by the repeated claim that too many people are being diagnosed with autism, when the report itself debunks this. It clearly says more people are getting a diagnosis because we have become much better at identifying and diagnosing autism. Diagnosis is often the only way to get help and support for the very real harm and distress autistic people are experiencing. The review also states: 'The problem is a system that cannot keep pace with access to a diagnosis whilst at the same time leaning too heavily on having a diagnosis as the only route to getting any help.'

Getting a diagnosis is far from easy and the wait can take many years. People should get support when they need it, which can happen only with sustained investment and by building the NHS workforce capacity.

WHY are we seeking to put tariffs on Chinese electric cars? Why not allow the British public to buy cheaper, better cars than the Germans, French and other European car manufacturers want to sell us?

I AM incensed that BBC Director-General Matt Brittin can axe the highly informative You And Yours, on Radio 4, while keeping such tripe as Have I Got News For You and The Infinite Monkey Cage. Winifred Robinson is one of the Corporation's most professional presenters.

Think again, please.

TRUMP says Ukraine needs a new president. An English idiom springs to mind, one perhaps unfamiliar across the Pond: if the cap fits, wear it.

I admit to being biased, as I have Ukrainian heritage, but suspect many in the rest of the world will feel the same. I am seething. Slava Ukraini.

Name supplied, Nottingham WELL, Donald Trump, it's definitely time the US had a new president.

Trump's diesel deal is a true disgrace

FOLLOWING Donald Trump's appalling treatment of President Zelensky last year, the former's decision to lighten sanctions on Putin's murderous regime in order to release diesel onto the markets is a total abandonment of decency.

Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. My friends in Ukraine and the refugees I know in the UK will rightly feel let down.

After this betrayal, all of us who support Ukraine will find it hard not to think of the United States as no friend of ours.

It is a disastrous decision, made solely to bolster the US war in the

Middle East. Trump is playing one war off against another.

PAUL BARTLETT,

Stony Stratford, Bucks

DONALD TRUMP has taken a sledgehammer to Western unity on Ukraine with his latest grubby deal with the Kremlin. Maybe Zelensky will be told to stop attacking Russian refineries, as that would undermine American interests. Terms have been agreed for the export of Russian diesel despite the Lindsey Graham sanction legislation. Allowing for inflation, what would 30 pieces of silver be worth now? And could it be paid in crypto?

JOHN BARRY, Birkenhead, Wirral

I SHARE the utter despair of Trevor Lyttleton (Letters) at the lack of discussion about Ukraine. The bravery of the desperate Ukrainian people puts the whole of Europe to shame. And where are we? Still sitting on the fence while Putin advances as the bitter winter weather begins. Trevor suggested mustering billionaires to contribute to a voluntary fund to support Ukraine. Why not take it further and let the public donate? I would gladly give what I can. Set up your giving page, Trevor, because no politician is going to.

King Louis' record reign

Regal: King Louis XIV of France in a portrait dating to circa 1700

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

QUESTION Who is the longest-serving monarch in Europe?

IN TERMS of uninterrupted reigns by the monarch of a sovereign state, that title belongs to King Louis XIV of France who was born in 1638 to King Louis XIII and Anne of Austria.

When Louis was not quite five years old his father died and he became king with his mother as regent but, by 1661 at the age of 22, he took absolute power after the death of his chief minister Mazarin that March.

In 1660 he married Infanta Maria Theresa of Spain but his private life was mostly dominated by three mistresses: Madame de Maintenon, Madame de Montespan and Louise de La Valliere. It is believed that he wed Madame de Maintenon in secret after his wife died in 1683.

Louis XIV's reign saw France become Europe's leading power, expanding French territory through a series of wars.

He also orchestrated the transformation of Versailles from a modest hunting lodge to the magnificent palace we know today, making it his centre of government.

Furthermore, his era brought major cultural achievements in art, architecture and literature, earning Louis the title of the ‘Sun King’.

He had six legitimate children with Maria Theresa, but during his later years, he lost both his only son le Grand Dauphin and his grandson, Louis, Duke of Burgundy, or le Petit Dauphin. As a result he was succeeded by his five-year-old great-grandson, who became Louis XV.

Louis XIV died in 1715, aged 76 after a reign of 72 years and 110 days – the longest not just in Europe but the world.

Our own late Queen Elizabeth II is the second longest-reigning monarch in the world and the longest in the UK, with a reign of 70 years and 214 days.

QUESTIONS

Q: We know sandwiches were reportedly invented by Lord Sandwich but when and why was the practice of buttering bread introduced?

G. J. Musson, Claydon, Suffolk

Q: Why do the England rugby and football teams sing God Save The King before internationals yet England Athletics sing Jerusalem when the flag is raised during a medal ceremony?

S. Crawley, Neath, South Wales

Q: What is the origin of the phrase ‘it’s all gone haywire’?

M. Andrews, Uckfield, E. Sussex

QUESTION What's the longest that

anybody has been shipwrecked at sea and survived?

WHILE not a shipwreck in the traditional sense, the longest documented case of a person surviving while adrift at sea is considered to be that of Jose Salvador Alvarenga, a Salvadoran fisherman who spent 438 days drifting in the Pacific between November 2012 and January 2014.

Alvarenga set out from the Pacific coast of Mexico on what was supposed to be a short fishing trip with a young crewmate, Ezequiel Cordoba. Soon after leaving shore, their small boat was caught in a storm that damaged the engine and destroyed most of their equipment, leaving them unable to navigate or call for help.

The pair survived by catching fish, turtles, seabirds and even small sharks, which they ate raw, as well as collecting rainwater to drink. Cordoba later became ill and died, leaving Alvarenga alone.

On January 30, 2014, after drifting about 6,700 miles, Alvarenga washed up on Ebon Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Despite initial scepticism, investigations found his account was consistent with ocean currents, weather records and the condition in which he was discovered.

QUESTION Is there a real Downing Street in the north where Andy Burnham could make his base?

FURTHER to the earlier answer, there are in fact two Downing Streets in the Midlands – one in Halesowen and another in Smethwick. I used to drive regularly past No 10 Downing Street in Smethwick on the way to my office.

Remi Hodister, Bilston, Staffs in the Second World War but why wasn't this great prize invaded? SWITZERLAND'S neutrality alone did not guarantee its safety. After all, several neutral countries, including Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands, were invaded by Nazi Germany during the Second World War.

Historians believe Switzerland avoided invasion because, from Germany's perspective, the costs and risks outweighed the likely benefits.

Switzerland's terrain is dominated by mountains, narrow valleys and a limited number of transport routes, making any military campaign difficult and potentially costly.

The Swiss army reinforced this natural advantage through the National Redoubt strategy. In the event of invasion, Swiss forces planned to withdraw into heavily fortified Alpine strongholds, destroy key tunnels, bridges and railways, and continue fighting from the mountains. Germany could have occupied much of the lowlands, but securing the strategically important Alpine passes and transport links would have been far more difficult.

Switzerland was also economically useful to Germany. Swiss banks, manufacturers and trade networks acted as financial and commercial intermediaries in the war. Thus, as long as Switzerland remained sufficiently cooperative in economic matters, Berlin could obtain the advantages it wanted without incurring the costs and risks of occupation.

TODAY'S RECIPE: Thai curry squash & coconut noodle bowls

Quick and easy. Serves 2 Ingredients

400g butternut squash

2 tsp olive oil

2 tbsp Thai red curry paste, plus 2 tsp

1 shallot or small red onion

400g tin of coconut milk

Method

1 lime

A few dashes of fish sauce (optional)

100g mangetout

1 red chilli, sliced (optional)

2 packs of cooked noodles (udon, egg or rice) A small handful of coriander

1 Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 or the air fryer to 180C. Peel and cube the squash. Whisk the oil with the 2 tsp curry paste, then drizzle this over the squash. Season and roast for 20-25 mins, tossing halfway through, until tender.

2 Slice the shallot or onion. Melt a spoonful of coconut solids from the tin of coconut milk in a pan over a medium heat and fry the shallot or onion and 2 tbsp curry paste for 1 min until fragrant. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 mins until reduced, then season with the juice of half the lime and the fish sauce, if using (or a pinch of salt, if not).

3 Finely slice the mangetout and chilli, if using. Refresh the noodles in boiling salted water for 1 min, then divide between two bowls. Pour the coconut broth over, then add the squash, mangetout and chilli (if using). Squeeze more lime juice over, then scatter with the coriander and serve.

£180bn takeover frenzy rocks UK stock market

THE Chancellor has been urged to ‘turbocharge’ the London stock market as it reels from a £180bn takeover frenzy.

In a report published ahead of the Budget, City broker Peel Hunt alerted John Healey to the ‘unprecedented pace’ of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity involving UK-listed firms.

The firm's head of research, Charles Hall, pointed to 166 takeovers worth £180bn since the start of 2023, including £74bn of deals so far this year.

Among those to have been targeted this year are airline easyJet, warehouse giant Segro, Lloyd's of London insurer Beazley, finance house Schroders and ingredients

maker Tate & Lyle. However, there have been just 11 new listings worth £6bn through so-called initial public offerings (IPOs) since the start of 2023.

At the same time, firms including Paddy Power-owner Flutter and travel giant Tui have quit the London market for rival exchanges in New York and Europe.

'To say that the UK has a problem retaining its companies and listing new ones would be a massive understatement,' said Hall.

"The number and value of bids for UK companies is running at exceptionally high levels, raising concerns that the UK equity market is seeing a material depop-

ulation. There has been a dearth of IPOs

thus far in 2026, albeit the pipeline is now

looking more encouraging.'

He pointed to the recent £5.3bn listing of payments firm Airtel Money – dubbed 'Africa's Revolut' – which was the biggest IPO in London for five years.

Hall, a campaigner for reforms to bolster the UK stock market, called for tax breaks on investing in British companies and for entrepreneurs listing firms in the UK.

‘The good news is that turbocharging UK equity markets is not difficult and can be done at pace,’ said Hall.

‘There are multiple levers that should deliver real results. Importantly, these should drive more tax revenue, accelerate economic growth, increase innovation and improve pensions and savings.'

He called for stamp duty on share trading to be axed, arguing it would ‘provide a strong economic return, as it would remove friction and enhance UK competitiveness’.

He added: ‘It makes no sense for a UK investor to have a higher transaction cost for buying shares in a UK company than a US business.’

Investors must pay a 0.5pc tax when they buy London-listed stocks, but there is no such levy when they buy overseas shares. London Stock Exchange chief executive Julia Hoggett last week called it ‘a pernicious tax’.

AI 'tsunami' will wipe out jobs for young, IMF warns

By Hugo Duncan

AI is ‘a slow-moving tsunami’ that will wipe out jobs around the world and destroy opportunities for the young, the head of the International Monetary Fund has warned.

At the start of the Fund's annual meetings in Bangkok, Kristalina Georgieva said around 40pc of all jobs will eventually be ‘augmented, downgraded or eliminated’ by artificial intelligence.

‘It is a slow-moving tsunami but a tsunami nonetheless,’ she said.

‘It is a transformative technology, it so completely changes how we work, how we live.

‘Love it, hate it, or fear it, it is here, and we are already seeing the first wave of impact.’

Georgieva warned that the young will bear the brunt of the AI boom if entry-level jobs are wiped out – robbing them of opportunities to start their careers.

Alarm: IMF supremo Kristalina Georgieva

‘People to worry about, first and most, are young people who are coming into the labour market,’ she said.

‘Normally, they would get into these routine, repetitive jobs and then [move up] the ranks.’

Speaking at the same event in Thailand, Singapore's President Tharman Shanmugaratnam echoed her warnings on AI's impact on graduates.

"There is a particular problem that we have to address very soon and that is that the first rung in employment, your first job upon graduation, is now see-"

ing less demand,' he said. Georgieva added the impact on jobs would also hit public finances because taxes on income are a major source of revenue for governments, including in the UK.

Concern about prospects for the young is mounting in Britain with nearly one million aged between 16 and 24 now classed as NEETs – not in employment, education or training.

Former Labour cabinet minister Alan Milburn, who is leading a major review into the UK's youth jobs crisis, has warned of the risks of a ‘lost generation’ as AI and automation threaten entry-level jobs.

He is due to publish his report after this month's Budget.

Advertising guru Sir Martin Sorrell warned job prospects in Britain have been hit by the rising cost of employing staff, including Labour's National Insurance hike and new rights for workers.

Warning of ‘restrictions on hiring people’ in the UK, he told the

Daily Mail: ‘The changes in the labour laws, the cost of hiring people and the inflexibility is making people more cautious about hiring. With AI coming down the track, AI will increasingly replace labour as a result.’

But while AI is posing a threat to jobs and tax receipts, Georgieva said it has also triggered an investment boom that is keeping global growth at around 3pc despite soaring energy prices stemming from conflict in the Middle East.

...as rising labour costs limit entry level roles

By Hugo Duncan

THE rising cost of employment is hitting job opportunities for young people and holding back living standards, business leaders have warned.

In a damning report, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) said just 15pc of companies are confident about hiring staff, down from 24pc a year ago.

Bosses blamed rising labour costs, which have been driven up by minimum wage hikes and the £25bn National Insurance tax raid.

They also pointed to red tape from Labour's reforms to hand workers new rights at the expense of businesses. The CBI's survey found 73pc of employers cited labour costs as the biggest threat to job prospects, with employment regulation second at 72pc.

'Living standards affected too'

The squeeze on hiring is ‘being felt particularly by young people as rising labour costs leave firms with less headroom to create entry-level roles’, the report said.

Nearly two-thirds of businesses, or 65.3pc, said the UK has become a less attractive place to do business over the past five years.

CBI chief executive Rain Newton-Smith said: 'Higher employment costs and growing regulatory pressures are making firms more cautious about hiring and investment. That matters not just for businesses, but for living standards and particularly for young people trying to get their first foot on the career ladder.

‘This is not irreversible. Government can use the upcoming Budget to rebuild confidence.’

Wrong turn for the world

WHEN the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank last held its annual gathering in Bangkok in 1991, the world was in a very different place.

Thailand's capital has blossomed into a metropolis with dozens of glass-and-steel towers reaching to the heavens.

At street level, however, it seems little has changed, with food stalls, open-fronted bars beckoning you in and Thai massage parlours by the score.

On my arrival here 35 years ago, I was immediately drawn to a press release announcing that Boris Yeltsin's Russia had applied to join the IMF's citadel of free-market capitalism.

Many of the subsequent sessions were concerned with how the Fund and Western powers would raise resources to meet the modernisation needs of Russia, the former USSR republics and Eastern bloc countries.

There was an air of triumphalism among the Group of Seven industrial countries at the thought of spreading free-market ideas to new converts.

Britain would be able to free up resources from defence and enjoy the peace dividend. How life has changed. As the UK's former Defence Secretary John Healey, now Chancellor, flies in for a rapid-fire series of meetings, he must surely have on his mind the latest Budget bombshell from the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

It estimates that the Government will have to find £35bn between now and the end of this Parliament to fund ballooning welfare spending and military commitments to Nato.

The heady days when Russia was seen as a friend to be supported ended with the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It is now the sworn enemy of European democracies. Only President Trump, in a bizarre deal with the Kremlin for the supply of diesel, is giving any leeway to Yeltsin's successor, Vladimir Putin.

The rest of the world has jumped ahead as well. In 1991 Thailand was counted among the Asian tigers with a scorching growth rate of 11pc. Asia was on a tear. It is still the fastest-growing region in the world, expanding at a 5pc clip, driven by China and India. Thailand's growth has normalised at 2.25pc. At the 1991 meeting, Thailand's government was so concerned about traffic gridlock during the Fund's visit, with the arrival of 12,000 delegates and private sector bankers, that it declared a series of public holidays designed to keep citizens off the streets.

TRAFFIC is as disastrous as ever, but there are fewer colourful tuk-tuks and more digital ride-hailing services such as Grab.

The triumph of online means the Thai authorities can in 2026 order people in offices to work from home, to ease the limousine congestion.

Last time out the big puzzle for the Western democracies (the G20 had not been invented yet) was whether the IMF, World Bank and Western banking system could garner sufficient capital resources to fund the reforms and transformation of

Russia and former Eastern bloc nations into functioning modern states. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the glistening bank based in London, was designed for this purpose.

Precisely the opposite is the case at this year's meetings. An explosion of government, household and financial sector debt has taken place in recent times and has reached \$365 trillion.

A combination of sovereign borrowing following the great financial crisis, Covid, the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East means that debt now exceeds output in almost all G7 countries.

HM Treasury says Healey will be advising fellow finance ministers to put ‘fiscal discipline’ at the heart of what they do to control borrowing costs. Tell that to the Americans. Monday’s Wall Street Journal highlighted Britain’s fiscal nightmare, pointing out that a bloated welfare bill is imperilling financial stability and the UK is now paying ‘even more for its debt than spendthrift France’.

The paper notes that debt interest payments are on track to hit £130bn by the end of this Parliament.

It doesn't look as if the world is ready for any lectures from Labour.

LVMH HIT BY FASHION AND LEATHER SALESSLUMP

LVMH suffered a drop in sales of its clothes and handbags as struggles in China affected its recovery.

The luxury giant – whose brands include Moet, Dior and Louis Vuitton, which boasts actress Zendaya among its ambassadors (pictured) – saw total sales grow just 1pc to £15.6bn over the three months to the end of September.

But sales at its key fashion and leather goods division were down 5pc. LVMH said this ‘reflected the impact on business activity of a less buoyant environment in China’, where wealthy shoppers have faced a tax crackdown.

The news will fuel concern about the luxury goods sector ahead of updates from firms including Birkin bag maker Hermes and Gucci owner Kering in the coming weeks.

LVMH has been under pressure to reassure investors that it is on the road to recovery after losing around £240bn of its value in three and a half years.

Cyber attack scare for H&M

H&M is investigating claims it was hacked last week.

The Swedish fashion giant is looking into a group called ShinyHunters that said it was behind a potential cybersecurity incident. It follows a cyberattack on Asos last week. ShinyHunters previously claimed it was behind a major cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover last summer.

An H&M spokesman said: 'We are investigating these claims to assess their validity and so far we have no indication that our data environment has been compromised.'

Healey facing 'critical test' say High St bosses

HMV TO CLOSE FLAGSHIP OXFORD STREET STORE

THE Chancellor has been warned that he faces a ‘critical test’ in the Budget as the High Street grapples with rising costs and ‘fragile’ confidence.

With John Healey in crunch talks with industry bosses on Downing Street this morning, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) warned further tax hikes would push up prices and cost jobs.

The trade association said retail sales rose by just 1.3pc in the year to September, far slower than the 2.3pc increase seen 12 months earlier.

'The Chancellor cannot promise to ease the cost of living while piling more costs onto the retailers working to keep prices down,' said BRC chief executive Helen Dickinson.

‘With confidence fragile, this Budget is a critical test. Another rise in business rates would push up pressure on prices, choke off High Street investment and put local jobs at risk. This Budget must back retail to invest, employ and grow, not make it harder.’

Marks & Spencer chief executive Stuart Machin has also urged Healey to ‘get Britain growing again by taking the handcuffs off business’ in the Budget on October 28. Writing in the Daily Mail on Saturday, Machin branded Labour’s previous two Budgets under Rachel Reeves ‘a disaster’. He

HMV plans to close its flagship Oxford Street store just three years after reopening it, blaming landlords for doubling its rent.

The entertainment and music chain said it plans

to leave the site next March but vowed to keep a ‘significant presence’ in London as it searches for a new store in the West End.

HMV said landlords had proposed doubling the rent and it was facing a 'substantial' bill for renovation works, which made it 'commercially unsustainable' to keep its doors open.

added that Healey ‘should start unravelling the mistakes of the last two Budgets’.

The Chancellor will hold talks with retail and hospitality chiefs at 11 Downing Street today. Retailers have cited inflation-busting rises in the minimum wage and a surprise increase to National Insurance contributions for firms as major headaches. The war in the Middle East has also

driven up costs for ingredients and energy.

Small businesses are also calling for help, with industry groups urging that thousands of firms be exempt from paying business rates altogether. Tina McKenzie, the national chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses, said: 'We need a tax system that rewards ambition rather than punishes it.'

Pressure is on for Smith and Duckett

Raw deal: Duckett only has a one-year contract GETTY IMAGES

By

RICHARD

GIBSON

ENGLAND have bumped up the number of players on central contracts from 30 to 39, providing the ECB with control over their stars across a two-year cycle including a home Ashes series and a one-day World Cup.

England have also formalised the make-up of the backroom teams under Test boss Stephen Fleming and white-ball leader Brendon McCullum.

Here, Daily Mail Sport analyses the key issues.

---

WHERE IS ALL THE MONEY COMING FROM?

FROM within, is the short answer. The size of the pot for central contracts has not materially changed, just risen to match inflation.

The big difference comes in terms of the personnel, with former Test captain Ben Stokes — who was on a seven-figure salary — no longer on the list, nor fellow big earners Zak Crawley and Mark Wood.

This has freed up cash to cover new entries on the ladder, as well as climbs up it by some established players and nine development contracts.

The development deals — in which the ECB pay 50 per cent of a player's county contract and add a 25 per cent pay rise — are not particularly lucrative. They are more a commitment on both sides towards that player being selected by England Lions over the next 12 months.

---

WHO ARE THE WINNERS AND LOSERS?

CONTRACTS are either one or two years in length, so awarding

Jamie Smith and Ben Duckett just 12 months apiece shows how their stock has fallen.

A year ago, both men held places across all three formats. However, Smith was not picked for the Twenty20 World Cup and is no longer involved in white-ball squads, and Duckett's form, stretching back to an away Ashes series in which he averaged just 20, is a concern.

The message from Rob Key, England's director of cricket, appears to be: prove your worth. Limiting their deals to one year, as with the recently returned Ollie Robinson, will serve to keep them hungry.

Jos Buttler and Adil Rashid, white-ball veterans, are also engaged for just 12 months — a reflection of their ages, 36 and 38 respectively, more than anything else.

At the other end of the spectrum, Jordan Cox, Sonny Baker and Henry Crocombe — all aged 25 or under — are among the 11 players that have been given two-year deals.

This is clearly more about what the selectors believe they can produce going forward than what they have done to date, with Cox and Baker featuring in Test and white-ball matches this year and Crocombe, who moves from Sussex to Surrey this winter, yet to be capped.

---

LIFELINES FOR TWO FORGOTTEN MEN

OLLIE POPE and Shoaib Bashir have earned one-year deals despite becoming peripheral figures. Pope, who captained the Test side several times when Stokes was injured, was axed during last winter's Ashes but was named in the squad for the summer series against Pakistan.

Bashir, who turns 23 today, has made just two Test appearances since being handed a 12-month central contract last October.

However, England will need spin resources for the tour of Bangladesh next February and Bashir's name can be penned in for that assignment.

With Liam Patterson-White, Mason Crane and spinning all-rounder James Coles handed development deals, there is arguably no way back for slow left-armer Jack Leach, despite a County Championship bowling average of 20 and an economy rate of 2.29 in 2026.

CONTROLLING THE PACEMEN'S WORKLOADS

WITH 11 seamers handed one or two-year deals, England are clearly intent on managing their pace bowling resources ahead of next summer's Ashes and the 50-over World Cup in southern Africa in autumn 2027.

Among that group is Brydon Carse, whom McCullum recently said needed to 'get his house in order' following a late-night incident in Derby in August that saw him charged by the Cricket Regulator.

Key says nothing has changed regarding Carse's availability, nor the ECB's decision to honour the remainder of the two-year contract the Durham man was awarded last October.

---

FRESHENING UP THE COACHING STAFF

FLEMING and McCullum were both given the opportunity to nominate their own coaching staff, triggering a new set of 'default roles' for those already in the system, plus some new appointments.

Marcus Trescothick becomes one of Fleming's assistants along with Richard Dawson, who has been released by Glamorgan in order for him to join the ECB.

Former England wicketkeeper James Foster, part of New Zealand's entourage during their 2-1 Test series win over England in June, also comes in as a 'keeper and fielding specialist. That means Sarah Taylor, who coached across all England teams last summer, will work solely under McCullum.

The Test group is completed by Eric Simons, Fleming's trusted bowling coach from Chennai Super Kings. England will hope that as a former South Africa coach, Simons — a thoughtful, well-respected figure — will give them an edge for the Tests in Johannesburg, Centurion and Cape Town this winter.

McCullum's team retains spin coach Jeetan Patel, pace bowling expert Tim Southee and mentor Kevin Pietersen.

Ryder Cup blow for LIV stars after ultimatum

PLAYERS will be barred from the DP World Tour — and the Ryder Cup — if they sign up to LIV Golf next year. Some of the world’s top stars were given conditional releases by the European tour in previous seasons, allowing them to compete on both circuits. But DP World Tour chief executive officer Guy Kinnings has said players must now ‘make a choice’. In order to be eligible for Europe’s Ryder Cup team, players must be members of the DP World Tour. Kinnings said: ‘Players need to make a choice. We have rules and regulations to protect our tour and which our members must all abide by. ‘Players who are not willing to comply with our rules and regulations should not be seeking to join our tour.’ LIV’s future is in doubt after it filed for bankruptcy in the United States due to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund withdrawing support at the end of the season. The breakaway series has secured an initial funding commitment for a potential £227million investment from BC Partners Credit to help relaunch next year. Deadlines for both tours fall next month and players will be asked to disclose on which they intend to play. LIV players such as Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, Victor Perez and Tom McKibbin are currently eligible to play on the DP World Tour under one of their membership categories. Rahm is set to quit LIV Golf after refusing to accept new terms and is reported to be owed up to £113m for the remainder of the contract he signed almost three years ago.

Richardson makes the wrong kind of history after being sent home

---

By DAVID KENT

TEAM GB cyclist Matthew Richardson has been sent home from the Track World Championships in Shanghai over allegations of misconduct.

Richardson switched allegiance from Australia to Great Britain after the last Olympics and had been expected to secure three medals in China this week after declaring himself the fastest cyclist in history.

Now, instead, he is in the process of leaving the country.

In a statement sent to Daily Mail Sport, a British Cycling spokesperson said: ‘British Cycling can confirm Matt Richardson has been withdrawn from the squad for the upcoming Track World Championships.’

When approached by Daily Mail Sport about the misconduct allegations that are believed to have prompted his withdrawal, the organisation said they would not be commenting further at this stage.

The Times reported Richardson is subject to an investigation into his behaviour, particularly towards team-mates. The investigation is said to have been prompted by a complaint from another rider.

British Cycling added to the Times: ‘British Cycling takes any allegations of harassment, bullying or discrimination extremely seriously. Where concerns are raised, they are investigated thoroughly.’

Richardson is one half of British cycling's golden couple. He is in a relationship with Emma Finucane, the star of Great Britain's women's team. They live together in Manchester and have been dating since February 2024.

Richardson had been due to be one of four members of the men's sprint squad at the World Championships. He was set to join Harry Ledingham-Horn, Ed Lowe and Joe Truman in the squad.

Richardson won three

medals at the European

Championships in Konya, Turkey, earlier this year.

The 27-year-old won gold in both the men's sprint and Keirin events, as well as claiming silver in the team sprint with Truman and Hamish Turnbull.

Richardson had been due to make his comeback after he was injured during the Keirin World Series in July.

Last week, Richardson said he was 'lucky' to be walking after being wiped out by a rival in an incident which ruled him out of the Commonwealth

Games three months ago. Richardson had been slammed off the track by Japanese cyclist Kento Suzuki. He was unable to walk for four days after coming away with a broken scapula and a heavily bruised hip.

Richardson had been hoping to defend the title he won when competing for Australia in 2022, before he switched nationality.

The defector, who was born in Maidstone but moved to Perth at nine and went on to carve out a brilliant track career for Australia, caused a sensation by switching allegiance straight after winning two silvers and a bronze at the 2024 Olympics.

He was banned for life from rejoining the Australian team, but has carved out an impressive career for GB and England.

emailed the club to tell them what had happened. The club acted swiftly on the basis that Auvaa, who had been placed on an alcohol ban after the fracas with Stokes and Atkinson, was on a final warning. After the previous incident, which sparked a summer of upheaval in English cricket that saw Stokes retire from the international game, Saracens' former England captain Jamie George said Auvaa was 'immature', adding the club would 'look after him'.

Former PM Brown's role in exorcist transfer farce

---

FOOTBALL EXTRA

---

By MICHAEL PAVITT

FORMER Scotland boss Craig Levein has claimed he attended an exorcism with former Prime Minister Gordon Brown in an attempt to sign a player for Raith Rovers.

Levein briefly served as Raith manager in 2006, which saw him take charge of the second-tier side on a non-contract basis for seven matches.

Speaking on the Undr the Cosh podcast, Levein revealed he had been convinced to join by Brown, with the pair both being boyhood supporters of the Fife-based club.

He then explained how a meeting with Brown, who was Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time, took a strange turn as the pair attempted to sign defender Marvin Andrews.

Andrews, who had previously spent three years at the club, was a free agent after being released by Rangers. Levein said the meeting had been set up at the Zion Praise Centre in Kirkcaldy, which was run by the Trinidad and Tobago defender's spiritual mentor; Pastor Joe Nwokoye. While waiting to speak with Andrews, Levein claimed he and Brown were left watching a service in which the pastor had attempted to 'cast out demons' from worshippers.

‘Gordon Brown phoned me to go and meet him in Kirkcaldy,’ Levein said. ‘As an aside, Raith are trying to sign Marvin Andrews. So I drive along and park my car in the car park and when I got there three Range Rovers came tearing into the car park.

'The lights are going and the sirens are going and I'm thinking, "What the f\*\*\*?!" The window came down in one of them and it's Gordon. He says, "Jump in my car, we are going down to see Marvin", who was working that evening in the church.

‘We had chosen an evening to go along when they were casting out demons. The guys are going up on the stage and Pastor Joe is putting his hand on their heads and there is a whole lot of wailing noises going on and he shoves them and they fall backwards.

'I am sitting there going, "What the f\*\*\* is going on?" I'm there to meet Marvin and there are people falling about and there are about six people lying on the ground. It was the most bizarre evening I have ever had.' Andrews had revealed upon re-signing for Raith in October 2006 that he had

held talks with both Brown and Levein, with the pair attending a meeting with his pastor.

'I'm delighted to be back at Stark's Park but I'm not here because of what Gordon Brown said,' Andrews said. 'My main decision was what God told me. I am back here because God wants me here. It is simple.

'Many clubs came in for me but God never said anything to me. This is the place God wants me to be.'

Andrews, who won the Scottish Premiership with Rangers in 2005, became a Christian preacher following his retirement.

In 2017, Andrews offered to exorcise a haunted house where five scared nannies quit in a year.

‘There are different types of spirits but, in my experience, anything

problematic is usually linked to Satan,' Andrews said at the time.

'It's the Devil you are dealing with. In this case the spirit is obstructive so it is a problem.'

Sky Blue thinking conjures win 25 years in the making

NOW here was a Sky Blue victory built on honesty and decades of endurance — unlike the one at Anfield 24 hours earlier. Coventry City are not Manchester City, on the pitch or off it.

During the years when Manchester City cheated their way to Premier League and European titles, Coventry were playing in all three divisions of the Football League.

Their ascent to the top tier has not been particularly pretty, and neither at times was this first home win of the season. It lacked, for the large part, the silk and skill of Manchester City's dismantling of Liverpool.

But Frank Lampard's side have different qualities — and Newcastle were no match for that hard work, grit and collective will. The goal that confirmed Coventry's elevation to 14th in the table did not arrive until the 81st minute, on the back of a nervy period in which Newcastle threatened to steal a point, but when it did it was

a point, but when it did it was entirely deserved.

Substitute Ellis Simms slammed into the bottom corner after an error from Joelinton and then, just to confirm their superiority, fellow substitute Stephen Mfuni lashed home an even better goal four minutes from time.

‘You’ve seen the City, now \*\*\*\* off home’ chorused the home crowd, and Newcastle did just that. They have more problems than their opponents right now — a lack of leaders and identity, for starters.

Even before kick-off, this did not feel like a stadium that had witnessed two defeats without a goal on their team's return to the Premier League, such was the noise. The 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest before the international break had clearly restored belief.

But there is nothing quite like a home goal to raise spirits — and the volume — still further. Twenty-five years on from Coventry's last in the top flight, and just six minutes into this game, Jack Rudoni brought relief to that particular quest.

The midfielder had Newcastle goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek to thank for the opportunity to score his first Premier League goal from the penalty spot. The Czech looked like he was gathering a bar of soap when Ephron Mason-Clark's low shot ran through bodies and into — and out of — his grasp. Hornicek should have cut his losses but

instead chased redemption. His team were soon chasing the game when his recovery dive sent Sidiki Cherif skyward at the expense of the spot-kick.

What followed for the remainder of the opening half was low on quality. It was more fitting of Saturday 3pm than the post-weekend audience of Monday Night Football.

Not that Coventry cared. They missed a couple of chances to extend their advantage — a lack of composure was their undoing — but that was also the case at the other end, and preservation of the lead was always Lampard's chief concern.

Matthias Jaissle's concern, meanwhile, should be his £51million forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo. The young Belgian wants to play as a striker and he used that desire as part of his bargaining when agreeing to join from Lille last month.

At least not yet. And so, in the short term, the head coach needs to ignore the wishes of the player and pick a better option in such a key position.

Fernandez-Pardo did have a chance to perhaps prolong his

use in his favoured role when running clear just before half-time. He did everything right — skipping around Carl Rushworth

— but, crucially, he got the finish all wrong, firing tamely into recovering defender Bobby Thomas in the goalmouth.

The second half began as badly as the first for Jaissle's side. Milan van Ewijk's long throw-in was headed only as far as the edge of the penalty area by defender Malick Thiaw and, when the efforts to close down Cherif were too slow, the 19-year-old very quickly blasted back into the bottom corner.

If only the Guinean teenager had shown that conviction a few minutes later then Coventry's win would have been all but confirmed. This time, though, he snatched at an easier chance at the far post after a scuffed clearance from Sven Botman and the lead remained at two. That was soon one — and it was Botman who gave Newcastle some hope with a 20-yard rocket into the top corner.

Simms and 18-year-old Mfuni soon hit back to ensure their hope was short-lived. Coventry's stay in the Premier League, you suspect, might not be.

Police officer hurt at Anfield

A POLICE officer suffered a serious facial injury while arresting a man after Sunday's ill-tempered clash between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield. Ten people were arrested during a bulked-up and comprehensive policing operation for City's first match since they were found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules. And police have appealed for witnesses after one officer was taken to hospital having sustained the facial injury. Merseyside Police said in a statement: 'The arrests

included one man arrested on suspicion of two offences of assaulting a constable, five on suspicion of tragedy chanting, one on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and assault, two for affray and one on suspicion of throwing items onto the pitch. 'At around 6.35pm, as fans left the stadium, a police officer sustained a serious facial injury during the arrest of a man on Anfield Road. The officer was taken to hospital for treatment and is now recovering at home. Officers are conducting enquiries, speaking to witnesses and analysing CCTV and camera phone footage.' Chief inspector Leanne Hobin added: 'The officers and stewards are there to protect the public and keep them safe, and it is extremely disappointing an officer has sustained a serious injury while carrying out that duty.' Tragedy chanting, including singing about football-related disasters, has been an offence since 2023.

City won the game 3-0 to extend their perfect start to the Premier League season.

City's victory at Anfield — and their preening stars' lack of self-awareness — was the kind of affront to sport that makes you feel sick

I T is a shame that Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca and his players do not possess a single, solitary scintilla of self-awareness between them.

If they did, they would not have celebrated their hollow triumph over Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday with the unabashed glee of a gang of fools who appeared to believe they had just embarked on a redemption tour.

Somebody really ought to have told them that, no matter their dominance on the football field, now was really not the time for preening triumphalism or the peacock walk of men who carried the bearing of players righting a wrong. A wrong may well be righted in the next few months but not by them.

What has happened at City, the crisis that has enveloped the club, is not on the players. We know that. Nor is it on the fans. It is on owners who thought they could do what they want and are now appalled they are being held to account. But when your club have been found guilty of something as serious and far-reaching as City, Sunday's scenes were not a good look.

‘If I was a player,’ former Manchester United captain Roy Keane said on Sunday, ‘I’d be disgusted if there were any dodgy dealings going on or someone cooking the books.

'I wouldn't feel I had earned a league title if I had felt there was something dodgy going on in the background. We play football because we are passionate about it but you also have to have a bit of honesty.'

The truth is there was no redemption at Anfield. The result was not a victory for City. It was another defeat for football. Because this is a group of players who stand on the

shoulders of cheats: this is a team built from the ill-gotten gains of a club whose owners systematically cooked the books for a decade to create a dynasty. It is as bleak as that.

The scale of City's 3-0 victory and the brilliance of their second-half performance was, in the context of what we know now, merely a reminder of how they got here: by spending £830 million more than they were allowed to in order to gain an advantage on the rest of the Premier League.

Sunday's triumph was just the latest repayment on that outlay. It was football's equivalent of the wages of sin. And the paradox City face is the longer they remain top of this season's Premier League, the more it will concentrate minds on the longevity of the illicit advantage they gained between 2009 and 2018.

So, yes, their victory, in their first game since they were found guilty of the vast majority of charges for financial wrongdoing brought against them by the Premier League, stuck in the throat.

And, yes, the scenes of City's jubilation in front of their fans in the Anfield Road End felt as if they were the actions of players who either had no shame or no short-term memory.

Some, inevitably, wasted no time framing City's victory as a heroic triumph against all odds. Pass the sick bucket, please. Some talked about City's triumph over 'adversity' at Anfield as if cheating the rest of the league out of trophies

Hollow: Haaland (right) and Fernandez lead the Anfield celebrations AFP

for nine years and more counted as adversity.

That kind of narrative is designed to try to help broadcasters such as Sky convince themselves the product they paid billions of pounds for has not been discredited by City's continued presence in it.

That narrative is a lame attempt to obscure the fact this season has turned into a campaign where nobody knows what is real and what is not.

Did City win three points

on Sunday to re-establish their three-point lead at the top? Or was that an illusion? Was that just a temporary triumph? Was it a win that will remain in the history books until City are punished and all their results, perhaps, are declared null and void?

What is happening here is that we are being asked to try to forget what we know. We are being asked to forget City have been found guilty of cheating on an industrial scale.

We are being asked to wipe our minds clean until such a time as it is decided what City's punishment is and then we can activate our thoughts again. Until then, we are left with sport reimagined as farce.

You want an idea of what it was like to be at Anfield on Sunday: it was as if Lance Armstrong had been exposed as the biggest cheat in cycling history and then we were forced to watch him riding up the Champs-Elysees in the yellow jersey at the head of the peloton, winning another Tour de France.

It was like knowing Ben Johnson, doped up to the eyeballs, had been busted after winning the men's 100metres at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul and then being asked to watch him being presented with a gold medal anyway.

City's victory over Liverpool was the kind of affront to sport that makes you feel sick.

CITY just want to blame everybody else. You want to play a game of City bingo? Eyes down. 'Red Cartel'. 'Gary Neville'. 'Premier League'. 'Sky Television'. And on and on and on. Have you ever thought it might be you? Because the blame for what has happened to City and the criticism they are facing lies squarely with their owners. No one else.

The Red Cartel? That is the most amusing of the conspiracy theories for City's demise. Financial Fair Play and Profit and Sustainability Rules are imperfect systems but the idea they would bake in the superiority of clubs such as Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal is funny.

Arsenal have won the title once in the last 22 years. United have not won the league for 13 years and are 13th in the table. Liverpool have won it twice in the last 36 years and are only just inside the top half. Tottenham, who are also supposed to be in on the act, have finished 17th in the last two seasons and are in the relegation zone. So, yeah, Red Cartel. Do me a favour.

If Brian Clough were still with us, he would be telling these City players they should chuck their medals in the bin. And maybe he would be pointing out to them that when they won at Anfield on Sunday, no one else felt like celebrating.

Carrick comes out fighting as United face defining week

---

CHRIS WHEELER in Madrid

ICHAEL CARRICK walked out onto the stage at the Metropolitano Stadium own last night.

Leny Yoro and Manchester United's press officer were a few steps behind, leaving Carrick to face the inquisition on his own for a few moments.

It was a peculiar scenario and one that did not faze Carrick as he sat down alone. For the following 24 minutes, he fronted up to United's disastrous start to the season and a potentially defining week that sees his struggling team exposed to two of the most intimidating environments in football.

Should his players escape from Atletico Madrid's Metropolitano intact this evening, Leeds at Elland Road awaits on Sunday. Carrick desperately needs his team to step up to the plate.

But if United's worst start to a season in 40 years after a deflating draw with ten-man Tottenham on Saturday has left Carrick fearing the worst, he was not showing it.

On the contrary, he is relishing the challenge and urged everyone at the club to show him they are relishing it, too.

'I love this part,' said Carrick. 'Sometimes when it's not quite going for you, you see who is really there.

‘You see within the group, the players, the squad, the club, who wants to be here for the long term and [who it] really means something [to].

‘The supporters are there, they are desperate for it. We have got to give them something.

'You've got to embrace the challenges to get to where you want to be. We're right there now in the middle of it, but I totally believe we will work through it.'

Referencing Diego Simeone's 15-year reign at Atletico, Carrick added: 'I'm sitting here with a coach that's been here a long, long time and I'm sure there have been times when it hasn't quite gone to plan.

‘But they have had huge successes, winning leagues and being around the late stages of the Champions League.

‘We’re talking about Sir Alex Ferguson and Diego Simeone who have built something incredibly special at both clubs.

‘Football and building something takes a journey and you have got to overcome things.

We've got teams in our league that have had success, but it hasn't necessarily all been in one direction.

I understand when it's not going too well, there's a real clamour and a feeling of "it's a disaster" and a feeling everything needs to be changed.

'I get that but that's certainly not our mindset. To achieve anything, you have to deal with things that are difficult and overcome them. I did throughout

MANCHESTER UNITED have never beaten Atletico Madrid in four attempts. The Spanish giants ended United's defence of the Cup Winners' Cup in 1991 and also dumped them out of the Champions League last 16 in 2022.

my career. Of course, we hoped for a lot more, but we are where we are.'

Asked if he feels under pressure, Carrick replied: 'It depends how you define pressure. I certainly don't look outside or elsewhere for what it should look like. I've felt the ups and I've felt the downs, so I don't feel the pressure from that at all.

‘There’s no negativity around that. It’s embracing the challenge and being excited about what we can possibly do.’

It was stirring stuff from the usually laid-back Carrick but it does not get any easier for him.

United landed in Madrid without Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw after both missed training at Carrington yesterday.

It says much about the pressure on the club that United did not publish their travelling squad as usual, as they deliberated over whether the pair would make the trip. They did not.

Shaw's second injury already this season is particularly painful, given United neglected to sign cover for him at left back in the summer. The two players who replaced him for three games in September — Patrick Dorgu and Noussair Mazraoui — are also out of action at the moment, so right back Diogo Dalot and young Harry Amass are Carrick's options this evening.

He is already having to squeeze square pegs into round holes in

attack due to United's failure to foresee Benjamin Sesko's entirely predictable relapse from a shin injury. At least Matthijs de Ligt was part of the travelling squad again, having not played for almost a year.

Of greater interest is how Carrick replaces Mainoo. It is fair to say the England midfielder's partnership with Youri Tielemans has not been a success.

‘This is not a midfield that can control games,’ said Match of the Day pundit Danny Murphy after United’s 1-1 draw with Spurs, and it was hard to disagree.

Carlos Baleba made his debut in Saturday's match at Old Trafford, the £70million summer signing replacing a leggy Tielemans just before the hour.

Baleba's 30-minute appearance was one of the few positives to emerge from another depressing game, even though the 22-year-old's introduction failed to prevent Spurs from snatching an injury-time equaliser.

The Cameroon international has been prevented from making his debut until the middle of October due to an ankle injury he picked up before his move from Brighton in the summer.

Would Carrick want to start Baleba against Atletico in the heat of the Metropolitano three days later? Probably not.

But given his current predicament, how much longer can the United manager keep his biggest signing of the summer in reserve when the need to improve results is so urgent?

‘We know what Carlos can bring,’ said Carrick. ‘He gives us something a bit different in the balance of the midfield, so we have to pick and choose the right things for certain games.’

Earlier, Simeone and his Atletico defender David Hancko sat in the same auditorium and refused to take United lightly despite their poor start to the season. Atletico were beaten by Carrick's side 2-1

— both goals coming from Bryan Mbeumo — in a pre-season friendly in Stockholm.

‘They are still Manchester United, a very strong side, and we need to play the game so we can punish them,’ said Simeone as Atletico look to bounce back from their opening defeat in the competition at Liverpool and chase their dream of reaching the final on home soil in June.

He was fooling no one, of course. Carrick can only hope his players stand up to be counted when it matters most.

Arteta rues luck after two injuries in warm-down

By ISAAN KHAN

MIKEL ARTETA has revealed two of his Arsenal players suffered bizarre injuries in the warm-down after the Gunners beat Leeds on Saturday. Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi sustained ankle injuries in a post-match training session that has sidelined both for an unspecified period. The pair were earmarked to start tonight against Lille in the Champions League, having made only substitute appearances in the Premier League this season. Arsenal boss Arteta said: 'We had a training session planned for after the game for players that did not have enough minutes... and in two very unfortunate actions we lost two players. 'Far from ideal. We need to assess them and have further scans, then we will have a timeframe on how long they are going to be out for. 'Piero's one looks a little bit more serious, but we will have to wait and see.'

Asked if Arsenal could have done anything to prevent the injuries, Arteta joked: 'Very easy, you don't train. If they never train they don't get injured, but the consequence is when they are needed to play, they have no rhythm and when you ask them to play, they are going to have no impact in the game.

‘That could happen at the Emirates — it never happened in seven years I have been here. It could happen the next day in the training session. It has happened now and hopefully it doesn’t happen again.

‘What can you do? If I had a crystal ball I would just say, “Guys, get in the Jacuzzi and I will see you tomorrow’.’ The manner of Hincapie’s injury has also raised questions, with footage circulating of back-up goalkeeper Illan Meslier giving

the Ecuadorian defender a piggyback off the pitch following the incident.

Arteta said: ‘That’s something else not to discuss here.’ The Gunners boss insists he will not change the intensity of Arsenal’s warm-downs as a result of the injuries, saying: ‘If you want to be consistent then, no [I wouldn’t enforce a lower tempo]. Because if you have some really bad faces, terrible attitude then you will be questioning, “Have you seen your boys training? It’s ridiculous. It’s not to the standard”.

'I prefer if it happens in this manner. That's the culture we have out there when we train. We train to the highest standards and they compete to win.' In better news for Arsenal, William Saliba has returned to individual training as the defender steps up his recovery from a back injury.

The Frenchman has been sidelined since the World Cup. Meanwhile, Saliba's centre back partner Gabriel praised his Arsenal and Brazil team-mates for helping him overcome his decisive missed penalty in last season's Champions League final shootout defeat by Paris Saint-Germain.

'If I have another penalty, I will be there to take it,' said Gabriel. 'My team-mates helped me a lot. I just wanted to forget this moment. After this I had the World Cup and the Brazilian players and the coach said a lot of positive things to me.'

Giroud: Viktor must get used to pressure

OLIVIER GIROUD has warned Viktor Gyokeres he must learn to handle the pressure of leading Arsenal's attack. Giroud, 40, enjoyed six successful years with the Gunners, scoring 105 goals in 253 appearances and winning the FA Cup three times. Gyokeres has found life at Arsenal tougher so far, despite scoring 21 goals last season. The Swede has yet to start in the Premier League this term after falling behind Kai Havertz in the pecking order.

Giroud now plays for French side Lille and returns to the Emirates tonight to face his former club in the Champions League. He said: 'When you play for a top club like Arsenal, expectations are really high. When I arrived [in 2012], I had

just won the league with Montpellier but nobody knew me. Arsene Wenger gave me an opportunity to play because Robin van Persie had just left. 'It was really tough. You have to be resilient and keep going, working hard at training. That's the same for strikers nowadays. 'When you come from a smaller club and you sign for a top club like Arsenal, you have to be strong in your head, work hard in training and believe that you can do amazing things. That's what happened for me. 'Mikel [Arteta] has a lot of talent up front. They need to get used to dealing with that pressure if they want to reach the top level. They have shown they are doing well scoring goals, so I'm not worried at all.'

SARACENS SACK STOKES-ROW STAR

...after Samoan punches man in SECOND late-night fight

By ALEX BYWATER

SARACENS star Totoa Auvaa has been sacked after punching a man in a nightclub — just four months after being embroiled in a melee with former England cricket captain Ben Stokes.

Auvaa, 21, escaped punishment in June for his role in a nightclub incident with Stokes and England bowler Gus Atkinson at the Rex Rooms in Chelsea.

But the powerful forward has now seen his employment with Saracens ended after a second incident which took place in St Albans in the early hours of Sunday after Saracens' Prem victory over Bristol.

Daily Mail Sport can report it involved him punching another man in the face.

It follows the incident in June, when the Samoan back-row aimed a punch at Atkinson that missed but struck a member of the ECB's security team who was accompanying Stokes and Co.

Auvaa was cleared of any wrongdoing by Saracens, but now the club have taken action after this latest fracas.

A Saracens statement read: ‘Saracens can confirm Totoa Auvaa, a member of the senior men’s academy, has left the club with immediate effect. Following an incident this weekend, the club has determined his

BRIDGE MASTERCLASS | CRYPTIC CROSSWORD

No 17,986

YOU are in 4♥ as West on the ♠K lead. You need to reach dummy with the ♥10 to dispose of your club losers on the ♦A-K, and yesterday we considered three possible options.

THE first was to lay down the ♥A hoping for a singleton ♥K. While this would give you two overtricks, it is not very likely to work. The second option, to lead towards the ♥10, hoping for North to hold the ♥K, is better, and will work half the time. Better still is to lead the ♥Q. This will work whenever either hand holds the ♥K singleton or doubleton. If they duck with ♥K-x, they will lose their trump trick, meaning you have just a spade and two clubs to lose; if they win, you have your entry to dummy.

FOR your chance to win, solve the crossword to reveal the word reading down the shaded boxes.
