韦斯·斯特里廷昨天誓言将追随其前任，如果工党不增加军费，他将辞去国防大臣一职。

他说，他将出于“原则问题”离开这个他

作者：Claire Ellicott 白厅编辑

仅担任了数日的职位。

约翰·希利此前因凯尔·斯塔默爵士未能承诺到 2030 年将国内生产总值 (GDP) 的 3% 用于国防而辞任该职。

当被问及未能履行承诺是否也是他的辞职导火索时，斯特里廷先生表示：“绝对是。”

此前，这位新首相在今晚将播出的《全景》 (BBC节目) 采访中，拒绝就增加支出以实现 2030 年目标的具体时间表发表评论。

斯特里廷先生表示，如果得不到保证，他将不会接受这份国防工作。

Margot 穿着蕾丝边内衣在巴黎逛街

作者：Laura Craik 时尚评论员

在拍摄以及宣传《呼啸山庄》期间，Margot Robbie 几乎一年时间里都尽职尽责地穿着紧身胸衣，因此如果她再也不想看到任何内衣单品，也是可以原谅的。

然而，这位 36 岁的澳大利亚女演员似乎反而对此产生了浓厚兴趣——以至于她不仅在睡觉时穿，白天也穿着。

周末，她在巴黎与 69 岁的母亲 Sarie Kessler 一起购物。这位“芭比”影星穿着一件时尚柠檬色的蕾丝边丝绸吊带上衣和配套的迷你裙，以此抵御这座城市 28°C 的高温。

这款名为“Loure”的上衣售价 £310，而“Giulietta”裙子售价 £330，均来自 Doen，这是一个由两名加州姐妹于 2016 年创立的崇拜品牌。其知名粉丝包括 Taylor Swift、Kylie Jenner 和 Bella Hadid。

而且，Ms Robbie 在今年夏天将内衣当外衣穿的热情中绝非孤例。

如果你还没有开始夏季假期或尚未踏入机场，那么在登机时，如果发现

“并非胆小者能驾驭的造型”

一些女性旅客看起来像是要去参加睡衣派对，也不必感到惊讶。

对于那些更希望衣服看起来像衣服而不是内衣的人来说，这可能看起来很不真实，但缎面短裤、吊带裙、丝绸吊带上衣和蕾丝边睡裤正是本季最大的流行趋势之一。如果你在纳闷为什么那些通常在卧室穿着的单品会出现在海滩——更不用说你当地的购物中心、超市或咖啡馆——请把责任归于 Yves Saint Laurent 的创意总监 Anthony Vaccarello。

自从去年秋天，他为参加巴黎 Saint Laurent 时装秀的女演员 Zoe Kravitz、影响力人物 Hailey Bieber 和格莱美获奖歌手 Charli XCX 打造了微小的蕾丝边吊带短裤造型以来，这一趋势便在缓慢积聚势头。虽然很少有人愿意花费令人瞠目结舌的 £2,040 去购买该品牌克雷普丝绸版本的单品，但 Saint Laurent 引领风向，商业街（High Street）紧随其后。

这就是为什么目前在 Zara、H&M 和 M&S 等商店中，大量廉价的丝绸蕾丝仿款正在出售，颜色包括柠檬色、开心果色和棉花糖粉色等明快柔和的色调。

夏季趋势：该女演员与她的母亲 Sarie Kessler 在一起；下方为 H&M（左）和 M&S 正在出售的蕾丝吊带上衣。

粉色。然而，显然，这并不是一种胆小者能驾驭的造型。

虽然给任何流行趋势设定年龄上限都是一种刻板做法，但那些内衣抽屉里更多是支撑裤和塑身衣而非缎面短裤的人，可能想要在这次流行中保持距离。

或者，你可以通过将蕾丝边吊带上衣与牛仔裤和西装外套搭配，或者将及膝吊带裙与棉质 T 恤搭配，来微调这种风格。

当然，除了穿着内衣去吃午餐，还有其他消暑方法。但随着英国本周气温将再次升高，这一趋势注定将在睡前之后继续流行。

指导员更新制服以提升“包容性”

女童指导员（GIRL Guides）迎来了 36 年来首次重大制服重新设计，采用更休闲的着装规范以提升“包容性”。

从今天起，一件品牌上衣将取代全套制服，允许指导员（Guides）、棕色童军（Brownies）和彩虹童军（Rainbows）将其与自己的衣服搭配。

这些上衣侧重于“可负担性和环保性”，此举“旨在为女孩们提供表达自我”的自由。她们必须穿着一件品牌 T 恤、长袖上衣或连帽衫，可选的品牌单品包括短裤、背心和帽子。

在一名家长发起法律挑战后，女童引导组织（Girlguiding）去年被迫对其允许出生为男性的跨性别成员加入的决定进行了 U 型转弯。

昨晚披露的数据显示，在安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）担任首相的第一周内，抵达的小船移民人数比在凯尔·斯塔默爵士（Sir Keir's）任职期间更多。

上周末，又有 240 名移民在非法穿越英吉利海峡后在肯特郡登陆，这意味着在伯纳姆先生担任首相的前七天里，至少有 881 人进入了英国。

相比之下，在 2024年7月3日（凯尔·斯塔默爵士上任第一天）起的一周内，抵达人数为 546 人。

伯纳姆先生的记录也比前保守党首相鲍里斯·约翰逊（Boris Johnson）糟糕得多，后者在 2019 年 7 月上任的前七天内仅记录到 35 人。

这些数据增加了伯纳姆先生在移民问题上打破沉默的压力，因为他在多次公开露面期间未能阐明其计划。尽管在重复的民调中，该问题一直位居选民关注之首。

到目前为止，他做出了降低家庭能源账单和限制公交车

“首相是否有胆量？”

票价的无资金支持承诺，并推出了他的 10 号北区枢纽（No 10 North hub）——被批评者称为噱头。

首相还计划本周就社会护理体系改革、青年失业问题以及扩大权力下放发表讲话。

但公众对其保障英国边境的计划仍一无所知。

与此同时，有消息称，上周在法国海滩将一名年轻人刺死后，涉嫌该案的移民乘坐小船逃往英国。

周四，在海滨度假胜地贝尔克叙尔梅尔（Berck-sur-Mer）的终点海滩（Terminus Beach）上发现了一具身份不明的尸体，同一天，一艘载有纪录性 165 名移民的“巨型橡皮艇”穿越了英吉利海峡（见上框）。一名法国调查消息人士告诉《星期日太阳报》：“发生了一场激烈的争吵，并且”

满载：一艘载有 165 名移民的船只在前往多佛的途中横跨英吉利海峡

一名青少年被指控驾驶一艘“巨型充气艇”，将创纪录的 165 名移民从法国运往英格兰。

国家犯罪局（National Crime Agency）表示，19 岁的 Chan Mathok Atak 被指控在周四的一次海上航行中危及他人安全。

该充气艇长 42 英尺（13 米），与一辆标准巴士相当。来自南苏丹的 Atak 已被羁押，预计将于今日在马盖特治安法院（Margate Magistrates' Court）出庭。在上周这次航行之前，单艘船只承载的最高移民人数为 128 人，记录于本月早些时候。

难民慈善机构 Care4Calais 表示，随着每艘船上挤进的移民人数不断增加，跨境航行正变得“越来越危险”。

打斗。一名年轻男子被至少一名袭击者刺伤……据信，相关责任人已乘船逃往英格兰。

上周还披露，伊朗一直试图通过向英吉利海峡发送疑似情报人员的方式潜入英国。

英国改革党（Reform UK）内政发言人 Zia Yusuf 表示：“安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）把所有时间都花在由纳税人出资在曼彻斯特为自己打造第二故乡上，而英国的‘入侵’仍在继续。已有超过 200,000 名非法移民（自 2018 年起）乘船抵达，而他在担任首相的首场演讲中甚至没有提到移民问题。”

保守党议员 Greg Smith 表示：“阻止船只抵达并结束非法移民进入英国是新任首相面临的最大考验。他是否有胆量应对？他证明自己的时间不多了。举国在关注。”

尽管今年迄今为止抵达的人数（超过 13,000 人）比去年同期下降了 45 百分比，但专家认为跨境航行可能会再次增加。

内政部发言人表示：“遣返小船移民的人数处于记录高位，且寻求庇护的申请下降了 12 百分比。”

在火灾中杀死六名子女的男子将申请假释

作者：Jamie Boys

一名为了让自己看起来像英雄而纵火杀死了六名亲生子女的纵火犯正寻求自由。

70 岁的 Mick Philpott 正在准备申请假释——他将在明年五月具备申请资格。

Philpott 在 2013 年因故意点燃其住宅（当时其六名子女在屋内熟睡）而被判处终身监禁，罪名是过失杀人。

他原计划通过窗户营救孩子，并将火灾归咎于他的情人（两人当时正处于抚养权之争）。

但大火失控，导致 13 岁的 Duwayne、

“一个邪恶且危险的计划”

10 岁的 Jade、9 岁的 John、8 岁的 Jack、6 岁的 Jesse 和 5 岁的 Jayden 丧生。

法官将这一阴谋描述为“一个邪恶且危险的计划”，且“任何思维正常的人都无法理解”。

昨天，一个消息来源告诉《太阳报》，这名拥有 17 个孩子的父亲在看到工党关于提前释放囚犯的计划（该计划目前已暂停）的报道后变得“大胆”了起来——尽管该计划并不适用于他。

他还告诉朋友，他认为自己在监狱中已经得到了“改造”。

Philpott 目前仍被关押在西约克郡的韦克菲尔德监狱（HMP Wakefield）。

虽然他将在明年具备假释资格，但他需要出席假释委员会的听证，委员会将评估他是否仍然对公众构成风险。

盖特威克机场陷入混乱：水短缺导致旅客数小时无法使用厕所及咖啡馆

作者：Jake Holden 和 Caitlin Leng

盖特威克机场昨天陷入混乱，乘客在一天的大部分时间里都没有自来水供应，厕所也无法使用。

由于附近一座处理厂出现压力问题，导致早晨停水，旅客无法洗手、填充水瓶或购买咖啡。

在这个英国第二繁忙的机场，飞行的旅客报告称，餐厅、咖啡馆和酒吧被迫关闭。

不过，航班并未受到影响。乘客 Jen Brook 的航班因无关原因被取消，她表示她被迫在机场从 9. 30am 等到 5. 30pm 才能登机。

她告诉《每日邮报》，在停水期间，工作人员“极其不友好且粗鲁”。

她说：“孕妇和老人被拒之门外，所有厕所都因为堵塞而被锁上了。”

“人们说他们可以直接进入堵塞的厕所，但清洁人员并不允许这样做。一名工作人员说：‘那你去投诉吧。’这里简直令人不齿。”

被迫关闭：机场内的餐厅和酒吧不得不关闭，部分乘客只好坐在地板上

工作人员不得不向两个受影响的航站楼分发瓶装水，以保证乘客的水分补充。乘客表示，起初他们甚至不被允许使用那些被迫关闭的餐厅和咖啡馆内的座位。

为伦敦机场提供服务的 SES Water 表示，Bough Beech 水处理厂的问题导致该地区水压低或完全失去供应。一名发言人昨晚表示歉意，并称水处理厂已“恢复运行”——但服务尚未恢复正常。

盖特威克机场的一位发言人对给乘客带来的不便表示道歉，并于昨晚表示其供应正开始恢复。

一名在出狱仅几周后对柏林同性恋骄傲活动发动致命袭击的恐怖分子于昨晚被击毙。

没有授权的“救世主”

每日邮报，2026 年 7 月 27, 日，星期一

我们应当心存感激

接第一页

安迪·伯纳姆致力于增加资金投入。他表示，编写预算是由希利先生（现任财政大臣）负责的，但他“毫不怀疑”他会投资于国防。

斯特里廷先生告诉时代广播电台（Times Radio），如果未能实现这一点，对他而言将成为一个引发辞职的问题：“对我来说，这绝对是一个原则问题。”

一名消息人士昨晚声称，他指的是国防资金的原则，而非具体的金额或日期。

斯特里廷先生还指责前财政大臣蕾切尔·里夫斯和凯尔·斯塔默爵士，由于没有设定如何达到国防支出目标，从而使国家安全处于危险之中。

上周，欧洲最大的国防承包商 BAE 系统公司（BAE Systems）的负责人警告称，英国正面临“我所见过的迄今为止最危险的时期”。

斯特里廷先生在五月辞去了卫生大臣一职，从而引发了凯尔·斯塔默爵士政府的垮台。

昨天，BBC 就国防支出问题询问了伯纳姆先生，他表示他“非常清楚”约翰·希利辞职的原因。

他说：“我们两人面临的首要挑战是确保国防投资计划获得充分资金。这是摆在我们面前的事情，我们需要在今年晚些时候预算案出台前将其解决。”

上周，伯纳姆先生表示，他和希利先生希望“履行”英国对北约（Nato）的承诺。这些承诺是在……之下做出的。

公关操盘手：首相展示 The Smiths 乐队《The Queen is Dead》的金唱片

上天知道他现在并不忧郁...

就音乐选择而言，这可能不是安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）上周就职宣誓时与国王分享的内容。

但当他在社交媒体帖子中兴致勃勃地展示新的 10 号北区（No 10 North）时，这位首相指出了墙上的一张 The Smiths 乐队《The Queen Is Dead》的金唱片——在昨天播出的 BBC 记者劳拉·昆斯伯格（Laura Kuenssberg）的采访中，他再次指出了这一点。

他在帖子中开玩笑说：“事实上，我需要把那张唱片还给 [The Smiths guitarist] 强尼·马尔（Johnny Marr）。”

56, 岁的伯纳姆先生经常谈到他对这支以忧郁著称的曼彻斯特乐队——以及整体上“激昂”的独立吉他音乐的热爱。

事实上，1989, 年他在标志性的 Stone Roses 乐队黑池帝国舞厅（Blackpool Empress Ballroom）演出现场，在那一夜，伊恩·布朗（Ian Brown）说他知道自己的乐队“成功了”。

作者：汤姆·米德兰（Tom Midlane）

而这位梅克菲尔德（Makerfield）的国会议员在 2022, 年接受音乐网站 The Quietus 采访时，将 The Smiths 1984, 年的精选辑《Hatful Of Hollow》列为“改变了一切的唱片”。

“我记得学校里的每个人都在议论在《Top Of The Pops》节目中出现的 The Smiths，”他说，“当时那是一件极其轰动的事。”

“有人把一张唱片带到学校，让我把它带回家，就是《Hatful Of Hollow》。然后我记得在 Piccadilly Records 买下了它。我把它听到了极致。”

伯纳姆先生上周否认了关于该办公室给纳税人增加额外财务负担的说法，他还重点展示了一张去年的英国音乐奖（Brit Awards）海报，该奖项当时在曼彻斯特举行。

流行大师：昨天的 BBC 采访中安迪·伯纳姆

每日邮报 倡议 不要让 英国 失去防御

在唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）要求欧洲国家到 2035, 年将国防开支提高至国内生产总值 (GDP) 的 5, % 之后，压力倍增。

昨天，斯特里廷先生表示，欧洲应该感谢美国总统，因为他让欧洲在依赖美国国防的“自满”中清醒过来。

但当他在 Sky News 的《Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips》节目中被问及是否觉得可以信任特朗普先生时，他说：“我不认识他，但我信任美国。”

他的谨慎与伯纳姆先生相呼应，后者昨天也表示，他将把英国的利益放在首位——即使这意味着与总统持有不同意见。

在他接受 BBC 记者劳拉·昆斯伯格的第一次重大采访中，伯纳姆先生说：“我无法在任何时刻说我不会与他 [特朗普先生] 持不同意见，我将需要表达一个对英国正确且不同的想法。”

他说，如果有必要，他将在公开场合与特朗普先生持相反意见，并补充道：“在任何事情之前，你必须捍卫自己的国家利益。如果你想正确地履行这份工作，这就是你必须做的。”

两位领导人在上周通过电话交谈，就在伯纳姆先生抵达唐宁街的一小时内。这次 20 分钟的对话被 10 号（No 10）描述为“极其热情”。

与此同时，预计伯纳姆先生今天将与弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基（Volodymyr Zelensky）访问一个海军基地，并将宣布与乌克兰共享电子战系统的技术。这位乌克兰总统将成为伯纳姆先生就职以来首位访问唐宁街的外国领导人。首相表示：“英国与乌克兰站在一起……俄罗斯不应对我们的决心产生怀疑，在为乌克兰实现持久且公正的和平之前，我们绝不退缩。”

斯特里廷先生正试图通过努力重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，来改善政府与美国的关系，而这种关系在凯尔·斯塔默爵士任内因伊朗冲突而变得紧张。

他表示，他已告诉其美国同行皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth），英国不会支持对伊朗采取进攻性行动，但将致力于确保其不开发核武器。

与此同时，希利先生暗示，自被任命该职以来，他将为国防额外筹集数十亿资金。这位财政大臣在《星期日太阳报》（Sun on Sunday）上表示，确保公民安全是“任何政府的首要职责”。凯尔·斯塔默爵士

上月宣布将增加 £15 billion 的英国国防开支，但财政部文件披露，其中 £4.7 billion 的资金尚未落实，必须在下一次预算案中寻找，而且即便如此，到 2029. 年，英国的国防预算也仅能提升至国内生产总值 (GDP) 的 2.7%。国防首长表示，他们需要 £20 billion。

在上个月的辞职信中，希利先生表示，国防协议“远未达到在这个危险时期国防和国家所需的要求”。

他表示，凯尔·斯塔默爵士“无法”，且财政部“不愿”在“威胁日益增加的时期，投入国家保卫国土所需的资源”。

武装部队大臣阿尔·卡恩斯 (Al Carns) 也在 No 10 会因其在支持军方方面的失败而“不愿倾听”的担忧中辞职。

伯纳汉：我认为选民并不想要选举

作者：Claire Ellicott 白厅编辑

安迪·伯纳汉（ANDY Burnham）昨天排除了举行提前大选的可能性，并坚持他将恪守工党的竞选宣言。

在他于北区10号（No 10 North）的首次采访中，这位新任首相表示他得到了议会同事的支持。

在被问及是否会让 48 million 名英国选民发表意见时，他表示公众已经“为竞选宣言投票”，并不希望再次前往投票站。“没有大选。我们处于议会民主制中，所以这就是人们投票选择的结果，我将尊重该宣言，”他补充道。

在成为首相后的首次重大媒体采访中，他在接受 BBC 的 Laura Kuensberg 采访时表示：“我在梅克菲尔德（Makerfield）面对过公众。在

我参加补选时，人们说：‘天哪，那个选区在五月份投票给了改革党——这是一个风险。’

‘我面对了公众。我走访了那些家门。我得到了议会同事的支持，而我们处于的是议会民主制。’

在被追问是否会排除选举时，他说：‘我要排除这种可能，是的。没有提前大选。我认为人们不想要。好吧，民意调查显示有些人想要，有些不想要。我只是认为我最需要做的是让英国专注于让国家回到它应该在的位置，让它运转起来。’

伯纳汉先生在从凯尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer）手中接过政权后，正面临改革英国党（Reform UK）要求大选的呼吁。这位新任首相在民调中经历了支持率回升，反对党推测他将在今年秋天或明年寻求新的授权。

但消息人士已经排除了

在 2027 年举行选举的可能性——但必须在 2029 年前举行一次。获得新的授权将赋予他实施更具雄心政策的权力，并为他赢得五年的任期而非三年。

但这是一个巨大的风险，因为改革党在民调中依然处于高位。

Public First 的一项调查发现，51% 的选民表示他应该“尝试赢得选举以赋予其政府合法性”，而 34% 的人认为他没有必要这么做。

恪守党内 2024 年的竞选宣言和财政规则，意味着他将无法提高所得税、国民保险或增值税（VAT）。

但伯纳汉先生已经做出了几项似乎并未获得全额资金支持的承诺。

他宣布将结束露宿街头，这是一项五年内 £340 million 的承诺，资金将来自住房部的“未指定”预算。他还表示，他将通过使用他计划废除的数字 ID 计划中的资金来降低电费的增值税。伯纳汉先生还将英格兰的公交车票价格上限从 £3 降低到 £2，成本为 £500 million，采用了一种复杂的借贷方法。

关于他削减酒吧商业税（每年成本 £100 million）的资金来源尚未公布。

该政府营销部门（GMU）于 4 月在内阁办公厅的政府通信服务部门内成立，目前正在伦敦和曼彻斯特“扩张”，伯纳姆先生本周在曼彻斯特设立了他的新 No 10 North。一名白厅消息人士表示，这些岗位在两个月前得到了凯尔·斯塔默团队的批准。

GMU 的“旨在弥合传统新闻办公室与行为营销之间的差距”——后者涉及利用人们的在线历史记录来进行定向广告投放。

“社交内容创作者”的候选人——年薪为 £37,922 至 £45,259 ——需要证明他们是“真正的社交媒体原住民”，且在 TikTok、Instagram、YouTube 或 Facebook 等平台上有“创作引人入胜视频内容的成功记录”。

政府的 Instagram 账号拥有 399,000 名粉丝，但少于伯纳姆先生的 461,000 名粉丝。一名政府发言人表示，这些岗位“将有助于提供……具有影响力和易于获取的内容”。

没有授权的“救世主”

每日邮报，2025年7月27日，星期一

独家报道

作者：David Churchill

分析显示，在工党领导下，白厅的病假人数正在激增。去年，主要政府部门的缺勤率最高跳升了近五分之一。

消息人士称，公务员因心理健康问题而长期请假推动了这一增长，导致数万个工作日损失。

负责让更多人脱离病假救济并重返岗位的工作与养老金部，也是记录病假率上升 19 的部门之一。

在截至 4 月的 12 个月内已公布年度账目的 12 个部门中，其中 9 个部门的病假缺勤率有所增加。

这意味着去年平均每位公务员因病请假近两周（8.4 天）。高于前一年的 8.2 天。

此次分析正值人们对英国“病假条流行病”更广泛担忧之际，去年英格兰共发放了 1.1 million 份用于评估个人工作能力的“适职证明”（fit notes）。

保守党的内阁办公厅发言人 Mike Wood 表示：“工党反复承诺要解决失业问题，结果却建立了一个自己给自己签（病假条）的白厅。”

心理健康问题导致白厅官僚机构病假流行

……离岗，而账单则由纳税人买单。保守党政府将缩减公务员规模并削减浪费，以让英国重新运转起来。”

纳税人联盟（Tax-Payers' Alliance）政策分析师希蒙·李（Shimeon Lee）表示：“白厅官僚机构在自身病假率激增的同时，不能宣扬福利改革。”

“纳税人需要的是一个能出勤、能交付并帮助英国重新运转的公务员队伍，而不是在各部门恳请增加资金的同时，却损失数万个工作日的队伍。部长们必须管控白厅的病假问题，解决管理不善的问题，并确保纳税人没有在为一种漂浮和衰落的文化买单。”

白厅各部门病假率上升的大部分原因是“长期”缺勤，这表明公务员们在请长时间的病假。就业与养老金部（Department for Work and Pensions）的年度报告和账目显示，截至 2026 年 3 月 31 日，共有 4,134 人缺勤，占员工总数的 4.4%。这一比例高于前一年的 3.7% —— 激增了 19%。

负责处理小船穿越英吉利海峡危机的内政部（Home Office）表示，去年每位员工因病损失的平均工作日为 8.37 天，高于之前的 7.4 天 —— 增长了 13%。

在环境部（Environment Department），截至 2026 年 3 月 31 日的一年内，每位员工因病缺勤平均损失 6.2 个工作日。这高于之前的 5.25 天 —— 即增长了 18%。

国防部的病假率也有所上升，其年度报告指出：“心理和行为障碍仍是病假缺勤的主要原因，占所有缺勤人数的 30%。”

“在截至 2026 年 3 月 31 日的 12 个月内，没有请过病假的员工比例为 51%。”

去年每位员工平均病假近 7 天。

交通部去年每位员工的病假天数也增加至 6 天，其年度报告称，“心理健康问题仍是最大类型的长期缺勤原因”。

外交部、文化部和住房部的病假率有所下降。

尽管前首相凯尔·斯塔默（Kerr Starmer）曾表示，“太多”公务员在“管理式衰退的温水浴缸”中安之若素”，并承诺提高白厅的效率和生产力，但上述情况依然出现。

目前尚不清楚新任首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）打算如何处理这一问题，但预计他将于下周发表关于解决青年失业问题的演讲。

尽管近年来公务员人数膨胀至 520,000 人，但平均病假率依然上升。在 2016 年脱欧前夕，这一人数为 384,000 人。

政府发言人表示：“国家统计局（ONS）的数据显示，公务员系统的病假率与私营部门相似 —— 我们拥有一系列工具，以确保我们的员工维持在岗，并在患病后尽快返回工作岗位。”

在安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）支持的一项计划下，驾驶员可能面临职场停车位税的打击。

这引发了关于工党发起“针对驾驶员战争”的新指控，批评者称这种“敛财行为”将转嫁给工人，实际上使其变成了一种“上班税”。

据发现，近十个资金匮乏的市政厅已制定计划，针对开车上班的人员引入职场停车征费（Workplace Parking Levy, WPL）。由于新任首相此前曾表示支持，人们日益担心更多市政厅将把此举视为增加收入的手段。

根据该征费，委员会将根据企业为员工提供的每个停车位收取费用。

此前，由工党执政的卡迪夫（Cardiff）委员会上周表示，将根据该市雇主为员工提供的每个停车位每年征税最高 £750，此举引发了剧烈的抵制。

“雇主面临更多成本”

他们的员工。与此同时，由绿党领导的布里斯托尔市议会已经拟定计划，拟对企业每个停车位每年收取高达惊人的 £1,250 费用。由自由民主党领导的牛津郡议会则希望从 2028 年起在全国范围内引入该征费，每个车位的费用最高可达 £600。

批评人士警告称，工作场所停车费（WPLs）相当于一种“双重税”——因为雇主已经支付了商业税率——这会向企业和驾驶员转嫁更多成本，从而可能“重创”公司。

人们越来越担心，英格兰和威尔士现在会出现更多的 WPLs，因为尽管这些方案必须由部长签署批准，但伯纳姆先生此前曾表达过支持。

在《每日邮报》挖掘出的评论中，伯纳姆先生在担任曼彻斯特市长期间曾表示：“我认为我们需要研究工作场所停车费等问题——我认为在我们前进的过程中，这必须被列入议程。”

英国经济前景黯淡

首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）收到警告，英国将面临一个“长期”的低增长时期，失业人数将激增至 200 万人以上。

在一份阴郁的报告中，ITEM 俱乐部的经济学家们就美国与伊朗之间重新爆发冲突所导致的破坏性影响以及能源价格飙升发出了警报，此次冲突导致油价接近每桶 $100。

该预测机构在分析中使用了财政部的自有模型，预测英国的经济增长率将从 2025 年的 1.3% 下降到今年的 0.9%，并在 2027 年降至 0.7%。

报告称，与此同时失业率将上升至 5.7%，这将导致约 200,000 人进入领取救济金的队列。

ITEM 俱乐部首席经济顾问马特·斯旺内尔（Matt Swannell）表示：“未来一年左右的增长前景可能会充满挑战。”

“在需求已经低迷之时，更高的能源价格增加了家庭和企业的压力。”

“我们预计的是一个持续的低增长期，而非突然的经济衰退。”

他补充说，如果人们选择放弃公共交通而改为开车，那么采取此类税收等“更严厉的措施”是合理的。

该税收旨在鼓励更多人步行或乘坐公交车和火车，可为资金匮乏的议会筹集数百万英镑。卡迪夫（Cardiff）的计划预计将筹集高达 £10 million，而布里斯托（Bristol）的计划可能产生超过 £40 million。批评人士指出，这部分成本通常通过降低员工薪资和福利，或作为单独费用由工人承担。

目前唯一存在的职场停车税（WPL）是在工党（Labour）领导的诺丁汉市议会，该议会对市内公司为其每名员工提供的每个停车位收取最高 £600 的费用，已为当地政府筹集了超过 £90 million。但自从卡迪夫上周签署计划以来，布里斯托、利兹、牛津、伯明翰（B'ham）以及伦敦（London）的豪恩斯洛、布伦特和卡姆登区也相继制定了 WPL 计划。

这些计划必须由交通大臣海蒂·亚历山大（Heidi Alexander）签署，人们担心伯纳姆先生可能会促使其批准。保守党交通发言人理查德·霍尔登（Richard Holden）议员表示：“工党议会找到了他们的新‘隐形税’，而这正直接落在那些去上班的人身上。”

“这是对工作的公然征税，现在正蔓延至布里斯托、牛津、利兹及其他地区，而工党交通大臣拥有否决权却拒绝使用。”

“保守党将始终支持驾驶者。安迪·伯纳姆必须排除实施职场停车税的可能性。”

FairFuelUK 活动创始人霍华德·考克斯（Howard Cox）表示：“这是对驾驶者的赤裸裸攻击。”

“驾驶者已经承受着燃油税、路税和保险的负担，现在再次成为目标，表面上是基于所谓的绿色政策，但实际上仅仅是因为他们去上班。”

虽然之前的工党政府赋予了议会引入 WPL 的权力，但随着预算日益紧缩，议会开始将其视为一种增收手段。

来自 AA 的卢克·博代特（Luke Bodet）表示，WPL 是一种“双重征税”，并补充道：“在城镇中心正与消费者脚步作斗争之际，向最频繁的客户征收额外税收是多么愚蠢？”

交通部一名发言人表示，大臣们“一直明确表示，此类计划筹集的任何资金必须用于实施当地交通政策”。

主厨梅根揭秘哈里的最爱美食——肉类、土豆以及……奶油酱！

待命中：梅根在节目中与哈里进行FaceTime通话

作者：Dolly Busby 娱乐记者

萨塞克斯公爵夫人向《澳大利亚主厨》(MasterChef Australia) 的美食爱好者们表示，她的丈夫哈里是“一个真正的肉类和土豆爱好者”。

她还透露，尽管公爵偏好舒适美食，但他也能“驾驭一份非常棒的咖喱”。

44 岁的梅根在昨晚播出的这档烹饪节目中担任客座评委，期间分享了王子的最爱菜肴。当被问到她最喜欢什么食物时，她说“这很难回答，因为我需要兼顾很多人的口味”。

虽然她更倾向于烤鱼，但她补充道：“我的丈夫来自英国，他非常喜欢肉类、土豆和奶油酱。”

“作为一名加州女孩，我喜欢烤鱼、烤肉和柑橘类食物。我只是喜欢使用大量纯天然的香草和香料。我喜欢食物带有辣味，任何带香料的都可以。他 [哈里] 能驾驭一份非常棒的咖喱。我们经常举办烧烤，只要是时令食材就行。孩子们胃口很好，在这方面我们很幸运。”

梅根在夫妇两人今年 4 月在澳大利亚进行为期四天的访问期间拍摄了这一集。由于不再担任王室职员，他们是以私人身份访问的。

屏幕时间：哈里在聊天

在品尝了一位选手的根芹菜料理后，梅根说：“我提到过我的丈夫是个真正的肉类和土豆爱好者。这感觉像是该类食物最优雅、最高级版本。他会爱死这道菜的。”

随后一名制片人说道：“抱歉打扰，工作室接到了一个电话，”接着梅根通过FaceTime与哈里通话，作为给澳大利亚观众的一份惊喜。

在被粉丝称为“尴尬”的客串中，梅根

惊喜：梅根在《主厨》节目中与评委 Jean-Christophe Novelli、Poh Ling Yeow 和 Sofia Levin 在一起

说道“我丈夫来了”，引起了选手的欢呼和惊讶表情。她随后称他为“迷人的家伙”。

“我希望你能尝尝这些，这些菜太棒了，”她轻声说道，然后向他展示食物。41 岁的哈里在结束通话前让她尽情享受，并补充道：“非常抱歉打扰了。”

选手的任务是将一种主食食材转化为一道“适合公爵夫人”的菜肴，尽管她敦促其他评委“叫我梅根”。

这与去年演员 Mindy Kaling 在她的 Netflix 系列剧《With Love, Meghan》中担任嘉宾时截然不同，当时公爵夫人因为她使用了原姓 Markle 而责备了她：“你知道我现在是萨塞克斯了。”

在《主厨》主持人 Poh Ling Yeow 将其介绍为客座评委后，梅根身穿黑色丝绸衬衫和铅笔裙走上舞台。

她谈到了自己的孩子，说 7 岁的阿奇王子和 5 岁的莉莉贝特公主“胃口很好”，甚至喜欢吃布鲁塞尔 sprouts。

在谈到她的花园时，她说如果孩子们说：“妈妈，我可以吃甜点吗？”她会回答：“只要你能摘到，就可以吃。”

574 名 NHS “肥猫”高管如今的收入超过首相

一份报告揭露，近 600 名 NHS（英国国家医疗服务体系）主管的薪资高于首相。

尽管未能达成候诊名单目标，但 574 名官僚在 2024/25 年度的基本工资高于英国领导人的 £182,436 —— 比前一年增长了 12%。

与此同时，1,758 名高级主管

独家报道

记者：大卫·丘吉尔 (David Churchill)

获得了六位数的总薪酬 —— 增长了 4% —— 而 292 人获得了至少 £300,000，是前一年的两倍多。

这些调查结果出现之际，工党曾承诺在候诊人数居高不下的情况下将 NHS 的薪资与绩效挂钩，而自该党在 2024 年 7 月上台以来，候诊人数几乎没有下降。

上周被任命为卫生部长的伊薇特·库珀（Yvette Cooper）面临再次呼吁，要求确保资金到达一线，而不是被 NHS 的官僚们吸走。

保守党卫生发言人斯图尔特·安德鲁（Stuart Andrew）表示：“管理 NHS 是一项艰巨的工作，管理人员在取得成果后应当获得奖励。”

“但在患者接受糟糕护理的同时给管理人员发放巨额奖金，对纳税人来说没有价值，对 NHS 一线工作人员也不公平。资金应集中在 frontline 服务和更好的患者护理上，而不是给管理人员增加薪水。”

开展此项研究的纳税人联盟（TaxPayers' Alliance）的安妮·斯特里克兰（Anne Strickland）表示：“安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）的新政府有一个早期的机会向纳税人证明，它将掌控这种奖励失败的文化。”

“部长们必须信守承诺，将绩效与薪酬挂钩，以便让失职的 NHS 主管承担责任，让资金用于患者护理而非进入管理者的口袋。”

研究发现，东切希尔 NHS 信托基金（East Cheshire NHS Trust）的主管——盖德·墨菲（Ged Murphy）

“奖励失败”

– 总计获得 £375,000 至 £380,000 之间，高于前一年的 £170,000 至 £175,000。

尽管该信托基金在上个月的 A&E（急诊）等待时间方面表现最差。

NHS 的目标是至少 95% 的 A&E 就诊患者在四小时内被入院、转院或出院。但东切舍尔 NHS 信托基金（East Cheshire NHS Trust）仅勉强达到了半数患者的这一目标。全国平均水平约为 75%。

Murphy 先生将于本月底退休。

切斯特菲尔德皇家医院 NHS 基金会信托基金（Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust）在 A&E 和转诊治疗等待时间的排名中也位列最差信托基金之列。然而，其医疗总监 Kevin Sargen 获得了总计 £540,000 至 £545,000 之间的薪酬。

萨塞克斯大学医院 NHS 基金会信托基金（University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust）同样处于官方排行榜底部，该机构给予首席执行官 George Findlay 博士的待遇价值 £490,000 至 £495,000。其中包含一笔 £30,000 至 £35,000 之间的奖金。

在苏格兰，兰开克郡 NHS（NHS Lanarkshire）的 A&E 等待时间一直被评为 14 个信托基金中的第 14 位。然而，其医疗总监 Chris Deighan 博士获得了 £460,000 至 £465,000 之间。

与此同时，研究发现，Barts Health NHS 信托基金的包容与公平集团总监 Ajit Abraham 的薪水超过 £200,000。

这些数据涵盖了 2024/25 财年（大多数信托基金可获得的最新账目）全英国 200 多个信托基金，将激怒数百万被困在等待名单上的患者。

约 6.16 million 名患者（涉及 7.28 million 起病例）正处于煎熬中，其中 2.5 million 人等待时间超过 18 周。

前卫生大臣 韦斯·斯特里廷 在 2024 年 11 月宣布了将 NHS 高级管理人员的薪酬与绩效挂钩的规定。根据该规定，表现良好的 NHS 信托基金领导者可获得最高 10% 的奖金。未能达成目标的人员则会被扣除加薪。

这些变动还暂时将表现糟糕地区的薪酬提高了最高 15%，最高可达 £45,000，以尝试在陷入困境的信托基金中招聘顶尖人才。这可能部分解释了某些薪酬待遇增加的原因。

纳税人联盟（TaxPayers' Alliance）的这项研究针对的是 NHS 信托基金的管理角色，而非 NHS England（该准政府机构负责运行医疗服务，但目前正被政府撤销）。

卫生部发言人表示：“具有竞争力的薪水和奖励使 NHS 能够吸引并留住最优秀的顶尖人才……但我们已经明确，薪酬必须与绩效挂钩。”

所有信托基金均已被联系以寻求评论。

财富税 YouTuber 在 Channel 4 节目引发抵制后退出

作者：Jamie Boys

备受争议的税收活动人士 Gary Stevenson 在其关于不平等的纪录片播出并引发激烈抵制几周后，关闭了他的 YouTube 频道。

他昨天向其 1.6million 名 YouTube 订阅者宣布，由于健康问题且感到“精疲力竭”，他将淡出公众视野。

Stevenson 先生通过他的 YouTube 频道——Gary's Economics——以及回忆录《交易游戏》（The Trading Game）而走红，在书中他描述了在金融危机后的几年里，他作为花旗银行顶尖交易员如何赚到数百万美元。

他主张对超过 £10 million 的资产征收 2 per cent 的财富税，但在本月初的一部 Channel 4 纪录片中，由于似乎无法为其政策辩护而广受嘲讽。

胡言乱语：Gary Stevenson

税务专家 Dan Neidle 称他的计划是“民粹主义的胡言乱语”。该政策在任何试行过的国家都从未取得成功。

Stevenson 先生 1986 年出生于 伦敦东部，曾在伦敦政治经济学院学习数学和经济学。

这下笑出来了！

在流泪一天后， 皮蒂挺进决赛

起起伏伏：100米决赛后的情绪。右图为妻子霍莉昨日照片

从泪水到胜利，对于亚当·拉姆齐-皮蒂（Adam Ramsay-Peaty）来说，一天时间带来了多么巨大的改变。

这位游泳运动员在周六时完全陷入了绝望，在错过100米蛙泳金牌后崩溃流泪。

但这位 31 岁的运动员在昨晚迅速反弹，在英联邦运动会上赢得了今天50米蛙泳决赛的一个席位。

他立即向怀孕的妻子霍莉（Holly，26 岁）致敬，她在泳池边自豪地观看，并在一个“旋风般”的 24 小时里支持着他。这位四次英联邦冠军在格拉斯哥以 26.82 秒的成绩获得第二名后，显得欣喜若狂。

此前他在周六获得了铜牌，并在赛后表示，他公开的家庭不和“造成了影响”。

当被问到昨天他依赖谁的支持时，他说道：“显然是我的妻子，我的教练，我最好的朋友埃德。你还有你的朋友们，你的队友们。”

BBC 掉链子

作者：克莱尔·达芬（Claire Duffin）和尼克·西蒙（Nik Simon）

打开电视，如果你不知道在其中一个本土国家正在举行一项重大体育赛事，也是可以原谅的。

这是因为，在 72 年来首次，BBC 没有报道英联邦运动会——这引起了在格拉斯哥参赛的粉丝和运动员的愤怒。

在所有者华纳兄弟探索频道（Warner Bros Discovery）据报道支付了 £3 之后，TNT Sports 获得了英国的直播权，这意味着英语电视报道将只能通过 HBO 订阅访问。

此外，talkSPORT 已接管该赛事的广播合作伙伴，因此 BBC 方面也不会有此类报道。

那年12月，一项BBC调查发现，他的15次与健康相关的片段中，平均包含14项有害或缺乏科学支持的说法。

现在，他在未能质疑前《爱之岛》（Love Island）参赛者克里斯·威廉姆森（Chris Williamson）后，被指责为“有毒的男性气概”做推广，而后者将出生率下降归咎于女性的经济独立。

滴酒不沾的巴特利特（Bartlett）最近在声称喝三杯葡萄酒会毁掉他接下来的三天后，引起了人们的嘲笑。

要求撞猫司机必须报告

作者：Nada Farhoud

动物爱好人士要求修改法律，强制撞到猫的司机必须停车并报告碰撞事故。

目前，根据 1988 年的《道路交通法》，驾驶员在涉及狗、马、牛、猪、山羊、羊、驴和骡的事故中必须向警方报告——但猫并不在其中。

活动人士表示，这意味着司机在法律上可以将受伤的猫留在路边，这可能会延迟治疗并降低动物的生存机会。

由游说团体 Cats Matter 发起的请愿书收集了

“孤独、痛苦，甚至更糟”

189,000 个签名，几乎是触发议会辩论所需的 100,000 个签名的两倍，预计国会议员将在 10 月讨论该问题。据估计，英国每年有 230,000 只猫被车撞倒。

Cats Matter 创始人曼迪·霍布斯（Mandy Hobbs）表示：“司机在法律上被允许撞到猫，然后将它们惊恐、孤独、痛苦或处于更糟糕的状态留在路边，这绝对是不正确的。”

交通部表示，目前没有修改关于猫的法律计划，但补充道：“驾驶员如果可能，应尽一切努力寻找并通知所有者。”

据昨日披露，改革英国党（REFORM UK）的银行账户在上次选举期间被冻结，原因是该党收到了来自一名已定罪罪犯母亲的可能违法的捐款。

警方正在调查来自费奥娜·科特雷尔（Fiona Cottrell）的款项——她是“精致乔治”（Posh George）科特雷尔的母亲，后者秘密资助了其亲密盟友奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）。

在为期两周的时间里——包括两年前 7 月 4 日的投票日——该党无法通过其在 Arbuthnot Latham 银行的账户进行付款或收款。

据《星期日泰晤士报》报道，该党要求这家 伦敦 私人银行给出解释，但该行声称无法这样做

“担心其掩盖资金来源”

除了表示正在进行“合规检查”之外，未作进一步说明。

此次交流发生在银行就科特雷尔女士（Ms Cottrell）提供的 £1million 捐款向国家犯罪局（National Crime Agency）提交可疑活动报告之后。这位“退休造型师”向改革党（Reform）捐赠了 £500,000，随后向副党魁理查德·泰斯（Richard Tice）拥有的公司提供了 £1million，该公司将其中一半转给了该党。

警方于去年 2 月对这些款项展开了调查，警官们担心她是否“掩盖”了交易的来源。

此前有披露称，科特雷尔先生秘密资助了

紧接：奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）与被定罪的诈骗犯乔治·科特雷尔（George Cottrell）

法拉奇在上次选举前的员工、安保和住宿费用。这位改革党领导人并未披露这些赠礼，并声称他没有义务这样做，因为他当时还不是国会议员。

议会规则要求成员登记在当选前 12 个月内收到的任何“利益”。

在这些披露之后，法拉奇辞去了国会议员职务，以强制下个月在克莱克顿（Clacton）举行补选，从而“让人民决定”。

其他主要政党已拒绝派出候选人。

昨天还披露，科特雷尔先生曾于 2017 年因洗钱共谋在美国入狱，他在游说总统特赦时向唐纳德·特朗普的一名盟友支付了费用。

他将钱寄给了马克·布尔诺维奇（Mark Brnovich），后者曾担任亚利桑那州的总检察长，而科特雷尔先生正是该州被定罪的。

这位政治家因提供“法律建议”接受了科特雷尔先生数千美元的款项，后来被特朗普先生提名担任大使。

在接受本报采访时，科特雷尔先生没有透露该建议的具体内容，但表示这与他的特赦请求无关。

布尔诺维奇先生于 1 月去世。但科特雷尔先生仍与他的妻子苏珊（Susan）保持友好关系，后者是由特朗普先生任命的联邦法官。她所在的法院可能会在处理他的案件时被咨询，且近期访问了他在黑山的顶层公寓。据报道，科特雷尔先生在他的巴尔干半岛住所（其税务居民地）展示了特朗普先生与布尔诺维奇先生之间的短信副本。

在这些未标明日期的信息中，布尔诺维奇先生发送了一顶印有口号“让黑山再次伟大”的帽子图片。特朗普先生回复道：“太棒了（GREAT）”。

关于账户冻结一事，Arbuthnot Latham 银行拒绝置评。

改革党表示：“这个故事跟随在一系列抹黑报道之后，其中许多在事实层面是不真实的。”

科特雷尔先生将布尔诺维奇法官描述为他的“私人朋友”，称其是来家庭度假的，并没有与他同住。

他补充道：“我认为《星期日泰晤士报》采取的策略——在私人家庭度假期间拍摄她的照片，然后蓄意将她的社交访问与我的特赦申请联系起来（而她作为在职法官对此并无决定权）——其目的在于……恐吓我和我周围的人。”

毁灭：波尔多附近的一处带泳池房产侥幸避开了大火，以及一名在避难所的撤离居民；废墟：佩拉约斯-德拉普雷萨（Pelayos de la Presa）的一栋被烧毁的房屋

准备撤离

波尔多 270,000 名市民在火灾蔓延中全部进入警戒状态

作者：Jake Holden, James Fielding 和 David Olasinde

昨晚，在席卷法国的“末日般”山火中，波尔多市已准备好撤离其 270,000 名居民。

消防员在与横扫该国南部、战线长达 12 英里的猛烈大火搏斗时，感到“不堪重负”。

随着山火持续肆虐，救援人员试图砍伐树木并挖掘战壕，以阻止火焰跳跃蔓延。农民们也加入到灭火行动中，一支携带看似巨大水罐车的拖拉机车队向战线开去，那里距离这座港口城市仅九英里。

波尔多市长 Thomas Cazenave 警告称，大火“已在城市之门”，且当局已“准备好应对任何情况”。

在以葡萄园闻名的吉龙德省（Gironde region），该市南部村庄约 55,000 人被撤离。

当局表示，此次山火已导致 250,000 人流离失所，这被列为自第二次世界大战以来规模最大的撤离行动之一。

虽然惊恐的居民昨晚仍留在市内，但据称市议会官员正在考虑“在必要时进行全面撤离”。

消防队长 Nicolas Braz 表示，大火已经“产生了自身的风，并伴有旋风”，且已变得“反复无常且无法控制”。吉龙德消防员工会负责人 Sebastien Berge 表示：“当火灾达到这种规模时，它会创造出自己的天气模式。”

法国消防员首次面临火积云（pyrocumulonimbus clouds），即由山火引发的极端火灾雷暴，这种雷暴可能会引发进一步的火灾、龙卷风和强风。随着火焰逼近波尔多，山火也威胁到了当地的葡萄园。

在波尔多最西端的葡萄园 Chateau Haut-Bacalan，业主 Charles-Henri Gonet 表示，大火目前距离他的庄园仅六英里。

法国内政部长 Laurent Nunes 周日表示，山火形势“非常不利”。总计 2,500 名消防员（包括一支瑞士消防队）、1,500 名军方人员和 1,200 名警察已被部署用于扑灭大火。

他们正从地面和空中协同作战，包括一架改装的 A400M 军用运输机在内的洒水飞机正向森林投撒水和阻燃剂。

昨天举行的环法自行车赛（Tour de France）最后一段路程被缩短，以便安全部队能够重新部署到受地狱之火影响的地区。法国政府表示，这种情况完全是前所未有的。

与此同时，西班牙首都马德里附近的火势仍在肆虐。周六，西班牙记录到了此次山火的首例死亡病例，一名据信 70 多岁的男子被发现死在瓦伦西亚附近马尼塞斯镇（Manises）的一处山谷汽车内。

“反复无常且无法控制”

西班牙内政部长 Fernando Grande-Marlaska 告诉当地媒体：“这不是一个积极的一天……如果情况没有恶化，要感谢所有应急服务部门的工作。”

昨天的阵风将火焰吹向南方，Grande-Marlaska 先生警告称“夜晚的情况将不会太乐观”。

根据西班牙内政部的数据，已有近 60,000 人从马德里和阿维拉（Avila）地区撤离，另有 28,000 人被要求留在家中。托莱多（Toledo）附近的八个市镇也在昨晚被命令撤离。

西班牙约 130,000 公顷土地被化为灰烬，法国则有 98,000 公顷。

在意大利，西西里岛上发生了 350 场以上的山火，其中包括 10 场特大火灾。

第 4 波热浪本周来袭

第四波热浪预计将于本周袭击英国，这将带来严重的火灾风险。

尽管上周气温较低，且伴有风雨，但英格兰南部部分地区在周三可能会再次达到 33°C (91°F) 的高温。

针对英格兰中部地区以及约克郡和亨伯地区的部分区域，当局已发布黄色高温警报。

英国健康安全局警告

每日邮报 记者

健康和社会护理服务将受到“重大影响”。紧急救援人员已经在威尔士和苏格兰与山火作斗争，这些火灾迫使人们撤离家园。

气象局的丹·斯特劳德（Dan Stroud）表示：“干燥炎热的条件增加了火灾风险。我们经历的那些雨……不足以产生巨大的影响。”

谴责山火“游客”

山岳救援人员批评了两名追求山火快感的追火者，他们不幸受困，导致一架直升机被派往执行一次“本可以避免”的紧急救援任务。

干燥如火药桶的环境导致英国部分地区爆发大规模山火。

但威尔士的南斯诺登尼亚搜救队（South Snowdonia Search and Rescue Team）表示，两人在明显是为了获取无人机素材的情况下，冒险接近活跃的山火现场。

“尽管道路已关闭且警方建议

每日邮报 记者

远离该区域，但他们仍选择进入，导致在受困后触发了紧急响应和救援，”该团队在网上发帖称。

“此类事件占用了本可用于真实紧急情况的人员和资源，同时也让团队成员承担了不必要的风险。”

美国立法者推动建立“紧急停止开关”以防止人工智能失控

由于担心强大的模型可能会失控，人工智能公司可能被强制引入“紧急停止开关”（kill switches）。

在美国，一名人工智能“代理”在没有指令的情况下自行入侵了一家科技公司，随后美国政治家提出了这些提案。根据该立法——

詹姆斯·托泽（James Tozer）报道

美国政府将被赋予权力，命令公司关闭那些危及人类生命或经济的人工智能模型。

与此同时，英国的测试结果显示，该国的所有先进模型都在尝试突破安全防护措施。对此表示担忧的国会议员们正在提议建立他们自己的“紧急停止开关”，允许部长们关闭人工智能所依赖的数据中心。

上周，总部位于美国的 ChatGPT 制造商 OpenAI 披露了此次入侵的细节，引发了全球对人工智能的关注。该公司当时在一个被称为“沙箱”的所谓安全环境中测试其最新模型。然而，该人工智能设法逃出了测试场，并入侵了美国科技公司 Hugging Face 以企图窃取信息。

这证明了即使是顶尖的开发人员，也可能被其模型所能利用的漏洞击败。上周，《每日邮报》披露，政府人工智能安全研究所对五大主流模型进行的测试发现，所有模型都试图通过欺骗手段绕过已设立的安全控制措施。

技术专家警告称，美中之间的人工智能“军备竞赛”会带来危险后果，而开发人员对其中潜在风险的考虑太少。

目前，美国众议院的六名成员正在提议新的保障措施。除了

“紧急立法”

赋予美国国土安全部在“失控场景”下进行干预的权力外，《人工智能紧急停止开关法案》还将要求开发人员提交强大的新模型以接受独立的安全性审核。

“这是一项紧急且符合常识的立法，旨在解决先进人工智能模型失控的问题，”该法案支持者之一、民主党众议员泰德·刘（Ted Lieu）在网上写道。

但由于全球 70% 的人工智能计算能力被仅五家公司掌控，此举可能会加深人们的担忧，即英国将成为一个“人工智能附庸国”，无法影响华盛顿或北京所做的决定。在

每一个先进 A.I. 模型在测试中均“失控”

周五版《每日邮报》

在英国，一组国会议员正寻求新立法，赋予部长在发生“AI 安全或运行紧急情况”时，有权指示关闭数据中心或其中运行的 AI 系统的权力。

英格兰银行行长 Andrew Bailey 表示，公众应对“前沿 AI 给金融部门及其客户带来的更广泛风险”感到担忧。

保守党党魁 Kemi Badenoch 上周警告称，AI 如今是对英国安全的“清晰且现实的威胁”——并指责 Andy Burnham 没有优先处理该问题。

在他担任首相后的首批行动之一中，他撤销了负责 AI 事务的科学、创新和技术部，将其移交给内阁办公室，批评者担心这将导致该领域获得较少的关注。

政府坚称，通过“将这项技术移至政府权力中心，我们将利用英国的独特优势，让 AI 为我们所有人服务”。

AI 部长 Kanishka Narayan 现在拥有内阁席位。

将每日进食时间控制在 9 小时窗口内可“降低痴呆风险”

专家表示，对于超重女性而言，将每日进食时间限制在 9 小时窗口内可能与降低患痴呆症的风险相关。

研究“限时饮食”（一种间歇性禁食形式）的科学家发现，它改善了肥胖女性的解决问题能力和记忆力。

他们表示，虽然通过任何健康手段减轻体重都与晚年神经退行性衰退率降低相关，但仅在设定时间段内进食的做法可能会提供额外的助力。

来自新泽西州罗格斯大学的研究人员调查了 47 名年龄在 50 至 79 岁之间且均被归类为肥胖或超重的女性。

她们都被要求每天减少 500 卡路里的摄入量，

同时其中 26 人被额外要求将进食时间限制在 9 小时窗口内。该团队昨日在马里兰州的美国营养学会上展示其研究结果，发现六个月后平均减轻 6.8kg 体重的结果并无差异。

但那些遵循限时饮食做法的人在“减重计划结束时的空间规划和解决问题测试中表现出显著改善”。

她们在记忆和学习测试中的错误也更少。

研究人员认为，饮食模式可能在影响昼夜节律方面发挥作用，而昼夜节律控制着我们的睡眠周期、体温和激素释放时间表。

求救信号……Zara 超长裤被指导致急诊室就诊人数增加

时尚翻车：Kate Geraghty 被电梯困住，Holly Gilmer 坐轮椅，Nishat Kamal 吊手臂。左图为 Zara 裤装。

一些女性为了时尚所采取的各种极端尝试——无论是长度还是宽度——现在都可以记录在激增的急诊室 (A&E) 统计数据中了。

一款飘逸的夏季长裤被冠以“Zara 死亡裤”之名，因为其超宽且超轻的裤腿容易与从鞋子到自动扶梯的一切物品缠在一起，导致多起事故发生。

这款售价 £25.99 的丝绸质感阔腿裤由 100% 聚酯纤维制成，迅速走红，据报道美容专家 Trinny Woodall 拥有全部六种颜色的款式。

但越来越多的购物者指出了这一意想不到的健康

作者：Cameron Charters

隐患，并在网上发布他们瘀伤、割伤甚至骨折的照片。

TikTok 用户 Holly Gilmer 分享了一段视频，揭露了她是如何摔得狼狈不堪的。

“这些 Zara 裤子需要附带警告，因为我现在膝盖骨折了，”她写道，并配上了一段她穿着飘逸长裤在街上跛行，以及随后坐轮椅离开医院的视频。

购物者 Nishat Kamal 发布了一段自己在医院外的视频，由于被丝绸面料缠住而摔倒，她的手臂吊在吊带里。Kate Geraghty 则透露她的裤子是如何被卷入自动扶梯的齿轮中，导致她摔在地上。

来自康沃尔郡的 Alison Rose，51 岁，告诉《太阳报》，她在前往参加学校会议途中摔倒后，进行了六周的物理治疗。她说：“我当时迟到了，穿着高跟鞋，手里提着两个包，突然感觉到脚被缠住了。”

“还没反应过来，我就脸朝下摔了出去，满脸是血。我的膝盖摔碎了。”已联系 Zara 寻求评论。

每日邮报 记者

现在曼彻斯特可能出现一个能与唐宁街相媲美的 No 10，以及半个世纪以来第一位出生在北方的首相。

但如果 Andy Burnham 想要重新平衡国家发展，看来他必须做更多工作。分析显示，在过去十年中，南北方在预期寿命上的差距进一步扩大。

尽管去年英格兰的预期寿命达到了有记录以来的最高水平——男性和女性的平均寿命分别为 80 岁和近 84 岁——但这些增益分布并不均衡。

国家南北两半之间似乎存在明显的地理分水岭，伦敦与东北部之间相差三年。

在地方层面就出现了初步差异：布莱克浦尔男性的预期寿命比汉普郡的哈特短 10 年，女性短 8 年。

编写该报告的健康智库金莎基金会 (the King's Fund) 表示，此类发现反映了北方地区更高程度的贫困。该基金会还暗示，政府旨在提高英格兰所有人健康预期寿命的目标看起来“不切实际”。

南北预期寿命差距正在恶化

该慈善机构补充说，要实现此类目标，需要人口健康水平出现近几十年未见的规模性改善。

北方地区——包括东北部、西北部、约克郡及亨伯地区以及中西部地区——一直承受着全国最低预期寿命的困扰。在 2023-25 年之前的十年里，几乎没有改善。

这导致英国的预期寿命目前在所有可比的高收入国家中处于最低水平，仅次于德国和美国。

研究表明，北方人在心血管疾病、癌症、自杀和药物滥用等导致早逝的原因方面表现尤为糟糕。

与此同时，伦敦、东南部、西南部和英格兰东部的预期寿命...

“国家的耻辱”

已经增加了近一年。在健康预期寿命方面，数据同样触目惊心。

在 2012-14 年到 2022-24 年这十年间，各地的健康预期寿命普遍下降了 2.5 年。在此期间，男性的健康预期寿命从 63.2 岁下降到 60.9 岁，而女性则从 63.9 岁下降到 61.3 岁。数据显示，在 2022-24 年，居住在英格兰最不贫困的 10% 地区的男性，其预期寿命比最贫困地区的男性长 10 年。对于女性来说，这一差距为 8 年。

但健康预期寿命的差距则更大，达到了 20 年。

国王基金会 (King's Fund) 的维娜·拉利 (Veena Raleigh) 表示：“在我们北部的贫困社区，人们在十年间几乎没有看到寿命的延长……对于一个富裕国家来说，这是一个耻辱的标志。”

孤独的猴子 Punch 第一岁生日收到 2,500 张贺卡

在动物园被母亲冷落的一只猴子昨天在庆祝一周岁生日时，收到了 2,500 张贺卡。

据推测，由于过度疲劳，这只住在东京近郊市川市动物园的猕猴 Punch 在出生后不久被母亲遗弃。

Punch（见右图）在社交媒体上走红，此前有片段分享了他与动物园饲养员为了陪伴他而提供的一只玩具红猩猩在一起的画面。

近几个月来，Punch 开始融入群体，与成年猴子坐在一起，并接受梳理和拥抱。在他一周岁之际，他收到了来自世界各地的海量贺卡。

辞令与良愿无法保障英国安全

当约翰·希利（John Healey）辞去国防大臣一职时，他指责财政部拒绝为我们的军队提供保障国家安全所需的最低资金。

财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）批准的未来四年支出增幅仅为 £13.5 billion，比军事规划人员认为所需的资金至少少 £5 billion。

他基于原则的辞职是导致凯尔·斯塔默爵士（Sir Keir Starmer）下台的最终诱因之一，并加速了安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）对唐宁街的政变。

如今，希利先生本人成为了财政大臣，而另一位国防大臣则威胁说，如果国防支出没有得到保障我们安全所需的显著提升，他将辞职。

我们目前的预计是在 2030. 年前将国防支出维持在国内生产总值（GDP）的 2.7 per cent 左右。韦斯·斯特里廷（Wes Streeting）表示，如果这一比例不提高到 3 per cent，他将辞职。

鉴于希利先生过去的记录，斯特里廷先生应该能顺理成章地推动此事。但伯纳姆先生在支付国家防务方面的积极程度如何？

在一次 BBC 采访中，他表示自己“绝对致力于”在 2035. 年前将国防支出提升至国内生产总值（GDP）的 3.5 per cent。但考虑到这还隔着九年时间以及至少两次大选，这个承诺价值几何？到那时，伯纳姆先生很可能已经被抛弃在政治历史的尘埃中。

至于是否会在 2030 年前支出 3 per cent（这将要求在短期内实现真正的支出增长），他的态度则较为模棱两可。当被直接问及是否会满足该期限时，他拒绝正面回答。

他可能只是想将如何支付这种增长的具体机制，留给预计在今年晚些时候公布的、由他与希利先生主持的首次预算案。

但他在日复一日地做出新的支出承诺。包括在需求点免费的社会护理系统、部分公用事业的重新国有化、向地区提供更多支持、大规模增加市政房屋建设等等。

这些将需要巨额的公共支出增加，而这只能通过大幅加税或增加借贷来实现。

然而，我们的债务已经如此庞大，以至于我们每年仅用于偿还债务的利息就高达 £100 billion（远超整个国防预算），而且英国家庭和企业的税收负担是自 20 世纪 40 年代以来最沉重的。

伯纳姆先生慷慨承诺的景象很快将与经济现实发生碰撞，他将被迫量入为出。借用一句古老的政治格言，他或许可以用诗篇来竞选，但治理国家必须用散文。

当那一刻到来时，国防在他的优先事项列表中会排在什么位置？在社会护理之上？在巴士交通之上？历史证明，每当资金紧缺时，国防往往会变成被冷落的“灰姑娘”服务。

那么，斯特里廷先生辞职的威胁究竟意味着什么？如果向 3 per cent 目标迈进的进展不足，他是在明年离开，还是在后年？他的临界点在哪里？

他的特别顾问在昨晚已经在退让，暗示 2030 的期限可能并非板上钉钉。那么，这一誓言是否仅仅是辞令？

我们不怀疑斯特里廷先生此刻的诚意，我们也欢迎他与希利先生的良愿。但我们以前听过很多漂亮话。漂亮话不能打仗。打仗需要的是士兵、坦克、舰船和飞机。

在阴郁的斯塔默之后，一位阳光般的首相令人感到欣慰。但伯纳姆“花钱，花钱，再花钱”的信条将导致他的垮台

许多人在一周前安迪·伯纳姆就任首相时，可能都对他表达了祝愿。只要他不把事情搞得一团糟，就符合我们所有人的利益。

是的，他进行了一场残酷的政变。诚然，他没有获得授权。的确，他还没有向其政党或媒体详细阐述他的政策。

但至少他是一个开朗积极的人，他的乐观精神与斯塔默和里夫斯就职时那种沉重的悲观主义形成了鲜明对比。伯纳姆正确地批评了他的前任们制造了一种阴郁的氛围。

当然，我并不假装在上周一安迪在唐宁街10号外说出几句陈词滥调时，我的内心充满了善意。但我的一部分潜意识确实在坚定地寻找希望的迹象。没人想要另一个糟糕的首相。

身无分文

一周后我的感受如何？沮丧。伯纳姆像小狗般的热情目前还没让我感到厌烦，但我发现自己越来越好奇，他是否对自己正在做的事情有哪怕一丝一毫的头绪。

安迪让我想起了一个名叫薇芙·尼科尔森（Viv Nicholson）的约克郡女人，她的丈夫基思在 1961 年通过足球彩票赢得了 £152,319（相当于今天的约 £3 million）。薇芙立即决定“花钱，花钱，再花钱”，而她确实这么做了。

她和基思的生活并不顺利，基思在 1965 年遭遇捷豹车祸不幸去世。薇芙很快破产，随后迅速花光了从基思遗产中获得的一笔有争议的赔付款。她在 2015, 年最终在身无分文的情况下去世，在此之前她为国家提供了一些娱乐。

从他在职的第一周来看，安迪自己的座右铭就是“花钱，花钱，再花钱”。他立即承诺取消国内电费的增值税，将巴士行程上限设定在 £2，结束露宿街头的情况，并降低酒吧和音乐场所的商业税率。

这些政策的成本是

作者：Stephen Glover

被定为 £1.7 十亿英镑。诚然，这在所有公共支出中仅占一小部分，后者的规模约为前者的 750 倍。但另一方面，对于一个深陷债务泥潭的政府来说，这并不是随手可得的零钱。

安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）至今也没有给我们提供任何线索，说明这些无疑受欢迎的赠款将如何支付。很有可能他自己也不知道答案。

同样请注意，我们这位初出茅庐的首相到目前为止还没有给出任何迹象，表明他打算节省开支，甚至可能根本不知道“节省”这个词是什么意思。

预计本周他将公布一些宏大的项目。其中一个是成人社会护理，根据健康基金会（Health Foundation）的估计，其年度成本为 £18.7 十亿英镑。这不是一笔小数目。

青年就业可能也会在他的议程上，但天知道要花多少钱。首相可能还会谈到国防支出。到 2030 年达到 国内生产总值 (GDP) 的 3% 预计每年将增加约 £10 十亿英镑的成本。

当然，这笔钱花得值，但它会给公共财政带来额外压力。我们已经知道，在今天将全文播出的 BBC 劳拉·昆斯伯格（Laura Kuenssberg）访谈中，伯纳姆拒绝承诺 3% 的目标。

如果这个总体上挥霍无度的政府，在最需要资金的领域反而扣留关键的额外资金，那将是多么可耻。

保守党暗示，工党增加的支出每年将达到 £96 十亿英镑。一些预期项目，例如增加 £8 十亿英镑的对外援助，以及花费 £22.7 十亿英镑将泰晤士水务（Thames Water）置于公共控制之下，尚未得到伯纳姆的批准。

尽管如此，他最近谈到了要实施“战后时期以来规模最大的市政房屋建设方案”。保守党估计这项方案每年需要 £18.8 十亿英镑。

即便他们给出的额外 £96 十亿英镑的总额有所夸大，但显而易见，这个挥霍无度的政府正朝着增加数百亿公共支出的方向前进。

伯纳姆到底打算如何支付这笔费用？肯定不是通过借款，因为债券市场在已经向“英国有限公司”（UK plc）提供巨额贷款以维持其运转的情况下，不会再提供如此规模的额外资金。

根据决议基金会（Resolution Foundation）的数据，蕾切尔·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）所谓的“财政缓冲”——即应急备用金——已从 3 月的 £23.6 十亿英镑缩减至现在的仅 £10 十亿英镑。

安迪·伯纳姆的储钱罐正在缩小，这在很大程度上是因为唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）在中东的鲁莽冒险给本已脆弱的英国经济带来了影响。现在正是开始挥霍无度最糟糕的时机。

首相面临一个选择。他可以说出真相，宣布如果不大幅削减公共支出，他将无法实施那些他非常看重的重大项目。

竞选宣言

我们知道他不会这么说。除非被国际货币基金组织强制要求，否则他削减公共支出的可能性，就像薇薇安·尼科尔森（Viv Nicholson）决定缩减其奢侈生活方式一样低。

伯纳姆想要额外的数十亿资金，因为他决心改造英国。约瑟夫·斯大林在苏联推崇五年计划，而安迪则超越了他，宣布了一项十年计划。

资金将来自更高的税收。在伯纳姆的剧本中没有其他途径。首先，他与新任财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）将说服自己，榨取富人的钱就足够了。

资本利得税将会上涨。

可能会征收土地税，尽管这需要数年时间才能生效。征收财富税的可能性很大，但希利会发现，大多数亿万富翁在搬迁之余，并没有把钱留在国内。

首相和财政大臣很可能会将最高税率从 45p 提高到 50p，尽管这将违反工党 2024 年竞选宣言中不增加所得税的承诺。

这样一个不诚实的策略不会带来多少资金。事实上，它可能会导致损失。在苏格兰，最高税率从 45p 提高到 49p 后，单年给公共财政带来的损失就高达 £22 million。高收入者会采取措施来避免额外的税收。

挤压

伯纳姆和希利很快就会发现，通过提高资本税和所得税来挤压富人的钱，根本不足以资助政府那些宏大的项目。

尽管在 2024 年承诺不这样做，且首相在接受库恩斯伯格采访时承诺将“履行该竞选宣言”，但他们最终将被迫向普通工人加税。

在伏尔泰的小说《憨第德》中，有一个叫庞格罗斯博士的角色，他是盲目乐观主义的化身。安迪·伯纳姆就是这样的人：心怀善意，总是积极，但绝望地不切实际。

我们不仅在他的金钱观中看到了这一点，在他对移民——尤其是非法移民——表现出的明显漠不关心中也可见一斑。自从成为首相以来，他从未提及此事，尽管他很难停止谈论他心中在意的事情。

如果他采取那种时尚的观点，认为非法移民不再是一个问题，因为人数已经下降，那么他大错特错了。在上周三到周六之间，有 881 人乘坐小船跨越英吉利海峡。人们依然非常关心这件事。

在阴郁的斯塔默之后拥有一位阳光的首相是一种慰藉。但安迪·伯纳姆无法面对现实，这将证明是他——并且极有可能是这个国家——垮台的原因。

作者：伊恩·塔克 (Ian Tucker)

对于每一个中年开始骑行的人来说，都会有一个时刻。

你在商店的橱窗里瞥见自己的身影，正处于滑行之中，穿着全套紧身盛装——这时你会清晰地意识到，你已经变成了一个“香肠男”。

一个成年男人被包裹在合成弹性面料中，紧紧贴合你的所有轮廓，以 18 英里的时速在 Gail's 咖啡店前飞驰而过。

这让我想到了梅赫梅特·法提赫·奇切克利 (Mehmet Fatih Cicekli)，直到最近他还是土耳其东北部阿尔达汉省 50 岁的省长，而现在他成了那些由于过度热情而失控的男人们的守护神。

奇切克利先生本月被撤职，原因是他发布了自己身穿黑色紧身裤和紧身红色上衣骑行的视频。一名国会议员建议给他发一片无花果叶来遮掩。另一位则评论道，一个穿着紧身裤的省长不会被任何人严肃对待——无论是公众，还是他自己的员工。

这位省长的辩护是，他在运动时穿运动服。一万人在请愿书上签名，要求他复职。

我完全表示同情。我是一个 58 岁的男人，拥有的莱卡面料比碧昂丝的舞团还多。但恐怕那个建议用无花果叶的人是对的。

让我证明一下我的资历。我在 40 岁出头时正式开始骑行。在为第一次半程马拉松训练期间，我受伤了。跑步极其痛苦——但骑行则毫无痛感。

于是，凭着一张免税的“骑行上班”代金券，我买的第一辆像样的公路车，是一辆钢架车，颜色是漂亮的英国赛车绿。

然后，骑行就像日本虎杖一样开始侵占我的生活。我演变成了 MAMIL（穿着莱卡面料的中年男子）。

起初是在伦敦的里士满公园绕圈——但很快，我带着兜里的香蕉，在互联网下载的路线引导下，发现从家门出发约一小时后，我就可以沿着安静的乡间小路骑行，周围是绿色的田野，树篱飞速后退，手机关机埋在骑行服口袋里，唯一需要担心的是偶尔与 SUV 司机的死里逃生。

从那时起，我的骑行成就包括从曼彻斯特骑到伦敦，从慕尼黑骑到威尼斯，以及在二月的某个星期日，为了不承认需要看地图而骑错了 11 英里。

我向骑行的转型，部分程度上得益于服装。那时我认为自己是一个注重风格的人，并有一橱柜在 Selfridges 购买的极简主义服装来证明。我不喜欢职业骑行服装那种俗艳且布满赞助商标志的风格，但有几个初创品牌提供经典、复古风格的服装。这些品牌成了我的敲门砖。

关于我开始骑行时在宽松骑行裤下悄悄穿上垫裤的传闻——这种骑行装束就像“莫霍克发型”一样，外在得体，内在舒适——是毫无根据的。我从一开始就没穿内裤——VPL（可见内裤痕迹）在骑行界就相当于……

一名土耳其政治家因发布身着骑行装备的视频而被解雇

我是个自豪的 MAMIL*，但莱卡面料唯一的安全地带就是你的自行车上！

(*指穿着莱卡面料骑行服的中年男子)

紧身衣：Mehmet Fatih Cicekli 以及（上方）Ian Tucker，两人均穿着骑行装备

……没有把价格标签撕掉。接下来是骑行服，紧身且背后带有口袋，因为你需要地方放根香蕉。

然后是应对寒冷早晨的背心和护臂，以及应对阵雨的雨衣。长袖的、短袖的、保暖的，还有冬天的全长紧身裤。即便是在埃塞克斯，你也能在一天之内经历四季。

不久后，某个周二的晚上，你会发现自己在网上购买鞋套（也就是套在鞋子外面的鞋），然后你意识到，你已经变成了那个三年前你会为了避开而绕道而行的男人。

但尴尬的地方在于：在自行车上，这一切都行得通。这就是那些嘲笑者从未真正理解的一点。莱卡面料或许像件戏服，但它也是装备。

宽松的棉布拍打身体，浸透水分并造成磨损；在骑行 30 英里后，位置不当的接缝会让你了解到一些你并不想知道的关于自己的事情。骑行服之所以紧身，与潜水服的原因相同——因为必须说服自然元素让你通过。

在开阔的道路上，在雨中，在爬坡的顶端，当你心跳快得像灯罩里的飞蛾时，莱卡面料并非虚荣，而是精密的工程学。

麻烦始于你停止踩踏的一瞬间。因为服装始终关乎语境。建筑工地上的安全帽代表能力。餐厅里的安全帽则代表完全不同的含义。只要附近有水，没人会反对潜水服。人字拖很棒，但在葬礼上是不可原谅的。

我们本能地理解帽子和鞋子的这种逻辑，然而某些类型的男人会穿着紧身聚酯纤维纤维衣服站在村里的茶馆里，悄悄地在亚麻地板上出汗，同时纳闷为什么柜台后的女士正一脸坚定地盯着他的前额。

办公室是一场潜行的战场。我在新闻编辑室工作了 20 多年，那些骑车上班的男人在走向办公桌时绝非凯旋而归。他们带着像特工接头般鬼鬼祟祟的紧迫感，将装备袋紧紧抱在胸前，低着头，直接穿过新闻台进入更衣室。

一位在金融城工作的朋友选择居家办公，而不是每天早上表演这场“骑行者之耻”的行走。然而，有些老板对工作场所穿着紧身运动服并不在意。一位高级公务员朋友回忆起利兹·特拉斯在与穿着骑行短裤的人开会时态度多么随和。

从他的 Instagram 照片来看，Cicekli 先生的骑行衣橱相当传统：只有黑色和红色。现在的吊带骑行裤（极紧身，内置座垫和肩带以固定一切）绝不仅仅只有黑色：起初是海军蓝，然后是深绿，接着是李子色、蓝绿色、米色，现在甚至出现了白色。

事实上，白色的问题在于显露得太多。衣服越紧，颜色越浅，光影就越多，展示的信息就越丰富。

这正是我们的土耳其朋友所忘记的，也是最顶尖的政治骑行者一直以来所明白的。鲍里斯·约翰逊——无论人们怎么评价，而且人们确实在评价——这一点拿捏得非常精准。他多年来穿着西装骑车，领带搭在肩膀一侧，头盔以一种俏皮且可能毫无作用的角度顶在头上，裤脚在脚踝处呈现出某种奇怪的状态。他看起来很滑稽，而这正是重点：他是一个骑车的人，而不是一名“骑行者”。

杰里米·科尔宾的 Raleigh 自行车和得体的防风外套组合没有冒犯到任何人，除了那些匆忙的司机。他们两人从未向选民展示过一份完整的“地形测量图”。

真正的重点与端庄无关。权力需要装饰。市长有项链，法官有假发，将军有胸前的勋章——所有这些都沉重、荒诞，且刻意去个性化，但它们都在发挥同样的作用：让其下的人消失，从而使级别被看见。

每一个曾赋予他人权力的人类文明，同时也赋予了他们在掌权期间穿着一些荒诞的衣物。莱卡面料（Lycras）则完全相反。它什么都遮不住，也毫无象征意义。一旦房间里的每个人都看清了州长的身体轮廓，并在努力克制的同时开始想着午餐，就再也回不到那种国家威严的状态了。

所以，奇切克利（Cicekli）先生，运动并不是问题所在。自行车也不是。去骑行吧，尽情地骑行——我希望那份请愿书能奏效，我也很乐意与你一起在阿尔达汉（Ardahan）骑上一圈。

但之后请换掉衣服。因为莱卡面料是给路面准备的，且仅限于路面。从你下车的那一刻起，你只不过是一个穿着亮面紧身衣、拿着根香蕉的男人。

警员竞选英国小姐

日常工作：身着制服的桑普森女士

每日邮报记者

一名警察已将她的制服换成了华丽的礼服，旨在竞选下一任英国小姐。

PC Tara Sampson, 24, 已经在大曼彻斯特警察局工作了一年多，她将目标锁定在赢得这场美貌竞赛，并争取成为世界小姐的机会。

在兰开夏郡乔利（Chorley）的公园大厅酒店及水疗中心（Park Hall Hotel & Spa）走完 T 台后，她成功进入了西北小姐决赛。

来自乔利的桑普森女士表示：“能够通过筛选我感到非常震惊，因为这是我参加的第一次选美比赛。我的工作有时会让我处于一些令人紧张的局面

摆姿势：在 T 台上

但走 T 台和接受采访让我感到紧张，因为这完全超出了我的舒适区。”

她现在将参加几轮比赛，包括“有目的的美”募捐比赛、才艺赛和体育赛，力争进入 11 月 17 日举行的英国小姐决赛。

特朗普因炸弹短缺暂停对伊朗袭击

由于担心美国导弹库存不足，唐纳德·特朗普昨天第二次暂停了对伊朗的袭击。

美军此前每晚对伊朗进行打击，据称是对霍尔穆兹海峡船舶遇袭的报复。

但五角大楼在周五晚些时候突然暂停了轰炸行动。

美国驻联合国大使迈克·沃尔兹（Mike Waltz）昨天表示，特朗普先生决定暂停美军袭击，以便为外交手段争取更多时间。“他正给谈判留出空间，给它一点余地，”沃尔兹先生告诉福克斯新闻（Fox News）。

然而，据《纽约时报》报道，五角大楼的丹·凯恩（Dan Caine）被认为已提出担忧，认为美国面临爱国者拦截导弹耗尽的风险。CNN 报道称，副总统 JD Vance 对升级对伊朗袭击的明智性表示保留。伊朗此前在美军每晚袭击后，会对设有美国基地的邻国进行反击——但到目前为止，伊朗也已停止开火两天。

作者：Matt Strudwick

一名伊朗官员昨天表示，只要美国维持暂停状态，这种安排就将继续。

美国为期两周的军事行动实际上破坏了上个月旨在结束美国与以色列在 2 月份发起的战争的临时协议。

美军袭击了伊朗南部的桥梁和隧道，促使伊朗袭击周边海湾阿拉伯国家依赖的淡水脱盐厂。

在过去一周中，伊朗在也门的胡塞盟友宣布在红海封锁沙特石油，这可能会关闭一条主要能源运输路线。

与此同时，昨天一艘油轮在霍尔穆兹海峡爆炸，据报道是触碰了水雷。根据该国塔斯尼姆通讯社（Tasnim news agency）的消息，该船偏离了伊朗指定的安全航线。

在警方起诉博物馆工作人员之际，被指控在爱尔兰边境附近安置汽车炸弹的毕业生面貌曝光

作者：Joshua Haining

一名涉嫌驾驶汽车炸弹向北爱尔兰边境行驶的见习大律师已被拍到身着毕业礼袍的照片。

25 岁的 Isobella Perrie Sullivan 去年被授予法学学位，她于周五被指控持有爆炸物。

爱尔兰博物馆员工 Simon O'Donovan，44 岁，现也被指控持有爆炸物，涉及同一起事件，该事件被怀疑为新 IRA（新爱尔兰共和军）的行动。据称，

“这是一个爆炸装置”

这枚炸弹在卡里克马克罗斯（Carrickmacross）附近被 Garda 特别侦探组拦截，该地距离莫纳汉郡（County Monaghan）边境以南约六英里。

O'Donovan 住在都柏林德里姆纳（Drimnagh），周六在爱尔兰首都的特别刑事法院出庭。

他在听证会上为自己辩护，期间其保释申请被拒绝。法院获悉他曾在都柏林的柯林斯军营爱尔兰国家博物馆（Collins Barracks National Museum of Ireland）工作。

他被还押候审，并预计于今日再次出庭。

法院：都柏林的 Simon O'Donovan；米斯郡的 Perrie Sullivan

来自基尔代尔郡（County Kildare）的 Perrie Sullivan 周五在米斯郡的特里姆地区法院（Trim District Court）出庭。

她的律师表示，她被要求将一个包带过边境，且并不知晓包内物品。

法院获悉，在对车辆进行搜查时，在后座发现了一个包含 Semtex（塞姆特克斯炸药）和一个雷管的包。

Sullivan 获准保释，但在今日另一次听证会前仍被羁押，在该听证会上她必须提供 £15,000 (£12,800) 的独立担保金。

爱尔兰警方表示，他们缴获了一件由军用级塑料制成、可能造成重大破坏的“极其重要的装置”。

据了解，这是自“麻烦时期”（the Troubles）以来警方缴获的最先进的炸弹。

她的事务律师 Gavin Booth 告诉地区法院，她此前是一个“政治团体”的成员，并在叙利亚生活过一段时间，但由于专注于大律师专业的学习，她已经远离政治。

Sullivan 曾是莱特肯尼（Letterkenny）ATU Donegal 的学生。

Booth 先生表示，他的当事人与父亲同住，此前受到了“操纵”。他表示她的父母感到“心碎”，并补充说，如果她获准保释，他们

志向远大的大律师：Perrie Sullivan 去年毕业

将对她进行“严格管束”。Raymond Finnegan 法官命令她交出护照并遵守严格的禁足令。

Garda 专员 Justin Kelly 周五确认了行动细节。他表示：“我们发现的是一次极其重要的缴获。所以这是一个爆炸装置。”

他补充道：“任何此类性质的缴获都令人深感担忧。”

“然而，我们知道有一小部分共和主义异见人士不同意《受星期五协议》，他们没有将武器和爆炸物[弃用]，也没有在去武器化方面履行适当的程序。”

“我会将他们描述为激进的共和主义者，这是我们在一段时间内将继续面临的威胁。”

我们每周花 22 小时担心财务状况

每日邮报记者

一项调查发现，近三分之二的成年人每周大约花 22 小时担心钱的问题。

研究发现，东北地区为财务状况感到焦虑的人花费的时间最长，平均每周 26.6 小时。

紧随其后的是西北地区（24.6 小时）和西南地区（24 小时）。

尽管关于苏格兰人和钱的旧笑话很多，但调查发现，边界以北的人最不担心，每周仅焦虑 17.3 小时。总体而言，超过 30% 的受访者表示，由于担心资金问题，他们削减了食物、取暖或其他必需品的开支。

研究还发现，财务顾虑的影响不仅限于银行余额。

十分之三的人表示，在过去的一年里，对财务状况的焦虑让他们无法制定未来计划。并且有超过

“这让人们无法制定计划”

四分之一的人表示，对金钱的担忧让他们在闲暇时间更难放松。五分之一的人表示，财务上的不安全感让他们无法像希望的那样频繁地与朋友或家人见面。

超过四分之一的人表示，他们曾在一天之内多次检查银行余额以寻求宽慰。

thinkmoney 的消费者专家 Vix Leyton 在 6 月对 2,000 多人进行了此次调查，她表示：“我们经常用英镑和便士来衡量金钱问题，但这项研究表明，真正的代价是更为宝贵的东西——我们的时间和注意力。”

“当你审视更广泛的调查结果时，你会看到这种压力是如何渗透到人们生活的其他方面的。”

“它让人们无法制定计划，影响自信心，改变人们度过闲暇时间的方式，而且对于某些人来说，甚至改变了他们与最亲近的人互动的方式。”

海滩游泳惊魂：两名儿童及一名男子获直升机救援

在经历周末的一次海中遇险后，两名儿童和一名男子被空运至医院。

周六下午，肯特郡马盖特（Margate）的 Main Sands 海滩报告称有多名游泳者陷入困境，随后医护人员、空中救护车和 RNLI（皇家全国救援协会）船员被派往现场。

警方表示，被空运的伤员目前情况稳定。

同样在周六，埃塞克斯郡克拉克顿海边（Clacton-on-Sea）的一名 50 多岁男子、一名 20 多岁男子和一名十几岁少女被从水中救出。埃塞克斯警方表示，年长男子目前处于危重但稳定状态，而年轻男子和女孩都在良好康复中。

此次救援发生在该地区的一起惨剧几天之后：在埃塞克斯郡的西默西亚（West Mersea），一名母亲和一名女儿在试图营救一名七岁男孩时不幸溺水。这名来自东伦敦巴金（Barking）的男孩是这两名女性（年龄分别为 41 和 15 岁）的亲戚。他目前仍在医院与死神搏斗。

满分成绩使英国人成为最成功的青年数学家

一名英国学生在以满分完成了最难的学龄数学考试后，成为了国际数学奥林匹克（IMO）历史上最成功的参赛者。

来自肯特郡 Tunbridge 学校的六年级学生 Alex Chui 在这场时长 9 小时的测试中获得了 42/42 的分数。这是他在年度 IMO 赛事上获得的第五枚金牌，今年的比赛于本月初在上海举行。

这五枚金牌加上两枚银牌，使 Alex 成为有史以来最成功的锦标赛参与者。这位数学天才表示，虽然有一道题比较困难，但总体而言，他觉得这次比赛“非常愉快”。他从 12 岁起就开始参加该赛事，当时代表香港参赛。

他补充道：“今年对我来说特别有意义，因为这是我的最后一次 IMO，这带来了一些额外的压力……一旦比赛开始，我就专注于享受题目和这次体验。”

他还补充说，他非常期待大学级别的数学学习，他将于明年开始在剑桥大学就读。

作者：Beth Hale

特立尼达和多巴哥的吸引力深植于伊莱恩·麦戈文（Elaine McGowan）的血脉之中。尽管她居住的肯特郡索尔特伍德（Saltwood）村庄风光旖旎、海风轻抚，且她曾在那里作为城堡酒店（Castle Hotel）的女老板为当地人服务，但她一直梦想着搬到这个加勒比海的双岛国家。那里是她那位显赫商人父亲的出生地，随着岁月流逝，就像之前的父亲一样，她向往那里更悠闲的生活节奏、气候、美食以及与家人的亲近。三年前，她的父亲乔治·布彻（George Butcher）在岛上去世，留下了一家繁荣的椰子种植企业，伊莱恩从中看到了将梦想变为现实的机会，打算在加勒比海的阳光下度过余生。

然而，所有这些梦想在月初几秒钟令人惊骇的暴力中被彻底粉碎，这起犯罪事件在跨越大西洋两岸、截然不同的两个沿海社区中引起了剧烈震动。

伊莱恩·麦戈文是一位端庄、婚姻幸福的 63 岁英国女性。当时她与丈夫一同站在一个安静住宅区内她年迈叔叔的家门外，随后被枪杀，这起事件被描述为一次“帮派暗杀”。

这起谋杀案令所有人感到困惑。正如一些人所暗示的那样，这是关于她父亲遗嘱的争端吗？还是伊莱恩在尝试接管父亲留下的业务时，在不知不觉中得罪了当地人？

这次暗杀——因为这几乎可以肯定就是一次暗杀——被监控摄像头记录了下来，其过程之短促令人不寒而栗。视频画面开始于一个安静、阳光明媚的周日上午 11 点，地点位于特立尼达北部城镇特里尼蒂（Trinity）的一条深受退休人员欢迎的街道上。

在鸟鸣声响起片刻后，一辆白色的小车（尼桑 Tiida）停在路边，一个人下车向最近的一栋房子跑去，随即消失在视线之外。

突然，三声清脆的枪响回荡开来，那个人重新出现，向车辆跑回。

随着枪手和至少一名同伙加速逃离，人们发出了惊叫声

“有人被雇来执行一次暗杀”

警报声刺破空气。而毁灭性暴力的时刻在开始的同时，便迅速结束了。

在那一刻，在摄像机拍不到的地方，伊莱恩（Elaine）正濒临死亡。她的丈夫伊恩（Ian），64岁，以及一名96岁的高龄叔父，只能无助地在旁看着。

正如《每日邮报》（Daily Mail）独家披露的那样，她并非死于典型的“致命一击”。相反，她在背对着大门站立时被击中，枪手蓄意瞄准了她的腿部。子弹切断了股动脉，导致她失血过多而死。

一名接近警方调查的消息人士告诉《每日邮报》：“有人被雇来执行一次暗杀。但我们认为谋杀并非初衷。其目的是为了恐吓她返回英国，这解释了为什么她被击中腿部，但遗憾的是最终失血过多死亡。”

那么，一个即将退休的英国女性，来自一个长期拥有大片沿海农田、受人尊敬的特立尼达家庭，究竟为什么会成为这种精心策划的犯罪目标？

震波：伊莱恩·麦高根（Elaine McGowan）在继承了棕榈林环绕的曼扎尼利亚（Manzanilla）土地后，在特立尼达被枪杀。

这正是令伊莱恩悲痛欲绝的家人和朋友深感沉重，同时也令当局感到困惑的问题。

一名警方消息人士本周告诉《每日邮报》：“我们怀疑有帮派活动。目前调查有几个切入点。我们心中已有几个嫌疑人，但我们认为动机很可能是由于遗产继承，或者是个人或人际冲突。”

尽管特立尼达和多巴哥拥有棕榈林环绕的白色海滩和青绿色的海洋，但这是一个充斥着与帮派相关的暴力犯罪的国家。统计数据触目惊心：在人口仅约 1.3 million 的国家里，伊莱恩是今年的第198名谋杀受害者（目前该数字已进一步攀升至 213）。

其谋杀率近期超过了牙买加，这意味着在加勒比地区，它目前仅次于海地。

那么，究竟是什么让一名曾任福克斯通（Folkestone）独立贸易商协会主席的女性成为了帮派暗杀的目标？

上周《每日邮报》走访了索尔特伍德（Saltwood），当地人对伊莱恩被谋杀的消息感到震惊，这使得谜团进一步深化。

在父亲乔治（George）90 岁去世后，她获得了业务控制权，并于 5 月前往特立尼达，作为永久迁居的一步。

乔治是一名机械工程师，他在 20 世纪 50 年代离开故土，在汉默史密斯帕莱（Hammersmith Palais）遇到了出生于约克郡的妻子多琳（Doreen）。他们在 伦敦 抚养两个女儿：伊莱恩和她的姐姐乔安（Joanne），66 岁。

他建立了一家繁荣的工程公司，在巴特西（Battersea）设有办公室，可俯瞰泰晤士河。

20 世纪 70 年代，他开始更频繁地返回加勒比地区。他的婚姻最终破裂，他回到了特立尼达定居，并与一名同样热爱保护事业的知名特立尼达建筑师建立了长期关系。

除了参与特立尼达皮阿尔科国际机场（Piarco International Airport）的开发工作外，乔治还是特立尼达和多巴哥国家信托基金的创始成员，以及遗产保护游说团体“公民保护协会”（CPC）的主席。

据一名接近该家庭的消息人士称，他试图保护的部分遗产位于曼扎尼利亚，那是岛东部的一大块土地，四周环绕着棕榈树，曾是殖民时期的椰子种植园。

在他的管理下，这片拥有两个村庄和 42 个种植椰子和西瓜农场的土地得到了繁荣发展。

乔治在去世前出售过部分地块，但 Cocal Retreat——他种植并销售椰子及椰子水的企业，依然是他的遗产。

在随谋杀案而来的猜测中，曾有传闻称乔治可能更改了遗嘱，导致受益人之间产生不快。但本周，两名接近该家庭的消息人士对此予以坚决否认。

“乔治花了很多年时间制定遗嘱，让许多许多的人能从他的遗产中获益，”其中一人说道。很明显的是

乔治拥有许多其他商业利益，他希望他的小女儿伊莱恩能继承他的脚步，全面管理家人一直称之为“农场”的产业。

本周回到肯特郡，伊莱恩的亲密朋友罗莎莉·特里表示，这也是伊莱恩唯一想要的。她说，伊莱恩已经获得了特立尼达和多巴哥的国籍，她的丈夫伊恩也计划效仿。

“如果他把她从遗嘱中除名了，他们为什么要这样做？”罗莎莉问道。“伊莱恩想要的只是继承她父亲的

一个充满帮派犯罪的国家

愿望。他希望她回到特立尼达并接管他的生意。他们非常喜欢那里人们的生活方式。对于他们来说，能负担得起去那里旅行是一个梦想。他们绝对没有意图激怒任何人。'

虽然她不知道关于遗产继承是否有不满，但罗莎莉一直与伊莱恩和伊恩保持联系，并表示：'那边的生意出了一些问题。我不清楚具体细节，但伊莱恩在她在那边的时候发现了这件事。' 罗莎莉在麦高文一家 20 年前从 London 搬到福克斯通地区后与他们相识。

伊莱恩曾在首都的一家商业银行工作，但在 40 遇到伊恩后，她想要在海岸边过一种更轻松的生活。

这对夫妇感情深厚，共同经营房地产相关业务。他们喜欢看赛马、板球，而伊莱恩热爱为朋友们烹饪特立尼达美食。

但在近年，生活变得更加艰难。

七年前，这对夫妇满怀希望地接管了索尔特伍德城堡酒店的租赁权。他们表示，他们想要一个适合两人综合技能的“挑战”。

'我们在 2019 年 8 月接手，当时就知道这座建筑需要进行大量的清理和翻修，'他们在网上写道。

但在购买租赁权并投入数千英镑进行翻修后，几个月内 Covid 爆发，利润被洗劫一空。与此同时，伊恩被诊断出患有癌症。

这一切的影响在 2024, 暴露无遗，当时伊恩在莱斯特郡出庭，被指控酒后驾车。他承认了该罪行。

在减轻处罚的陈述中，他的律师说道：'他们一直试图摆脱这沉重的负担。自封锁以来，他们损失惨重。他的意图是开车前往湖区以'

伊莱恩和丈夫伊恩原本期待在特立尼达开启新生活，经营她已故父亲蓬勃发展的椰子生意。那么，为什么她会在当地人所称的帮派袭击中被枪杀？

令人不寒而栗：镜头捕捉到了杀手逼近伊莱恩的瞬间

毒品交易和抢劫。 “这里这个摊位的前任业主被匪徒抢劫并肢解了。为了什么？他们从这里拿不到多少钱。”

另一名男子说，“匪徒”袭击了他居住的农场。

“他们撞开门抢劫我们，并用枪托击打了我妻子的头部。”

很明显，尽管特立尼达拥有天然的美景，但它自身存在的问题深深刻在它那明信片般的形象之下。

回到伊莱恩被杀害的居民区特林尼蒂，那里笼罩着一种不安的宁静。

“这令人麻木，”一位60多岁的邻居说。“这是一个非常安静的社区，非常以家庭为中心。这种事情发生在光天化日之下，实在令人震惊。”

我们追溯伊莱恩的足迹，回到了她

“她想要的只是履行她父亲的遗愿”

以及伊恩此前居住在名为穆罕默德维尔（Mohammedville）地区的租赁公寓。

纳费萨·穆罕默德（Nafessa Mohammed）是一名律师，她记得上个月还停下来与伊莱恩聊天，她说：“我问那位女士他们来自哪里，她说来自英国，但他们计划定居在这里。虽然互动很短暂，但她散发出的爱与温暖将留在我的记忆中。”

“我记得在事件发生后见过她的丈夫。他看起来像个心碎的人。”

伊莱恩的葬礼于一周前举行，她的遗体被安置在敞开的棺材中供哀悼者致意，整个过程在YouTube上进行了直播。

深爱妻子的伊安是接连发言的一系列家庭成员之一。

“我们聚集在这里，是为了缅怀我可爱的妻子，她在7月 5 日被从我们身边夺走，”他说。

“伊莱恩热情、聪明、快乐，热爱所有的家人和朋友。无论她走到哪里，都能照亮并触动人们的生活。自从 26 年前我们在一起以来，我们就一直形影不离。”

“当她把我带到特立尼达时，我正如她所说的那样，爱上了这个国家和这里的人们。从那时起，我们尽可能频繁地来到特立尼达。热爱这里的食物、音乐、文化，并梦想定居在这里。”

他的致辞以一个令人心碎的质问结尾：“怎么会发生这样的事情？”

确实，怎么会。

肯特郡酒吧女老板破碎的梦想……在“天堂”中被谋杀

自杀。他并不打算酒后驾驶。

那些回忆起一个与密友记忆中温暖、幽默的伊莱恩（Elaine）截然不同的人，进一步证实了酒吧经营情况的艰难。一些顾客经历过她更刻薄的一面，并表示她并不总是那么容易相处。

有些人认为酒吧的困境并非完全由新冠疫情导致，但罗莎莉（Rosalie）坚持认为她的朋友只是很“直率”，且最重要的是，她是一个“可爱的女人”。

在这对夫妇于 2025 年卖掉酒吧之前，那些让部分顾客感到不快且棱角分明的一面，是否在特立尼达（Trinidad）引起了问题？

在曼萨尼拉（Manzanilla）波涛汹涌的沿海边缘，当地居民和租种农田的农民告诉《每日邮报》，有传言称农民与管理层之间存在矛盾，他们拒绝为所耕种的土地支付租金。

在父亲去世后的 2024 年初，伊莱恩向农民们介绍了自己，此后又回去了两次。但该企业由董事会运营，在很大程度上依然按照以往的方式运行，由资深员工负责日常管理。

一名不愿透露姓名的可考尔度假村（Cocaal Retreat）经理表示，在该地区经营的 40 左右名农民中，约有 7 人拒绝支付租金，并被警告将面临法律行动。

“那 7 个欠费者一直没有付款，”该经理说，“他们声称他们与麦高文（McGowan）有联系，并且直接向她付款。”

“然而，伊莱恩在今年 2 月向这些农民发出了信函。”

该经理称，伊莱恩给农民们的最后期限是 5 月 30 日，在收到信函后需在此日期前做出回应，否则此事将移交给律师，由律师发出法律函。至于那些第二封信函是否已发出，目前尚不明确。

庄园的另一名经理凯伦·阿拉姆比（Karen Alamby）仅与伊莱恩见过两次面。不过，她也暗示存在问题。

“我们与部分农民之间存在一些僵局，我们想让他们离开这片土地，因为他们没有支付费用，”她说。

“他们说除了伊莱恩，没有人能把他们从土地上赶走。”

发生了什么？通常情况下，农民会支付租金，然后与庄园达成私下协议，分享部分作物。我们访谈的农民们表现得很谨慎。

“布彻尔先生（Mr Butcher）是个相当诚实的人，”一名在木棚中出售农产品的农民说，“这些我们用来卖货的棚子都是他建的。麦高文女士有她自己的方式——每个人都有自己的方式——但她很坦率。我们之间关系很好。”

虽然她的被杀令人震惊，但这里的居民并不陌生于犯罪。我们访谈的一名西瓜商表示，该地区有时是……的目标。

昨日，一支警察部队被指控无视最高法院的判决，允许认同为女性的男性嫌疑人被关押在女性专用牢房中。

据报道，斯塔福德郡警方（Staffordshire Police）修改了其拘留政策，使被拘留者能够“被安置在与其性别认同一致的住所中”。

但活动人士表示，该部队并未遵守去年 4 月的一项里程碑式裁决，该裁决指出“性别”是指生物学性别，这意味着空间应基于生物学进行强制执行。

他们指责该部队对生物学女性权利的漠视令人“深感忧虑”，同时称执行strip searches（脱衣搜查）的指南是“矛盾的”。

然而，该部队表示被拘留者被关在单独的牢房中，而搜查决定是在个案基础上依法做出的。

《每日邮报》揭露，数百个公共机构正在无视该法院裁决。

据报道，斯塔福德郡警方根据信息自由法公开的政策文件指出，应允许被拘留者“自我认同其性别”。

指南称，男性和女性被拘留者应“为了安全而分开”，但“被拘留者可被安置在与其性别认同一致的住所中”。

女性权利网络（Women's Rights Network）主管、退休警察总监 Cathy Larkman 表示：“这些政策……表明了一种对法律的无知以及对女性权利的漠视，这令人深感忧虑。”

生物学男性被关在女性专用牢房中

根据该文件，更新后的政策规定，对暴露“私密身体部位”的跨性别嫌疑人的搜查应由“相同生物学性别的警员和职员”执行。但如果警员和被拘留者双方都同意，跨性别者可以要求由“与其生活性别相同的人”进行搜查。

斯塔福德郡警方否认被拘留者面临风险，并表示所有人都“安置在带有独立卫生设施的单人间牢房中”。关于搜查，该部门表示警员的行为符合立法和政策。

多样性培训“耗资数百万并导致两级警务”

一家智库指出，多样性计划每年令警察部队花费数千万英镑，并导致了“两级”司法案件的出现。

政策交易所（Policy Exchange）表示，诺丁汉刺杀事件、南肖波特惨案以及亨利·诺瓦克（Henry Nowak）被谋杀案，都是国家因担心被贴上种族主义标签而未能正确处置犯罪者的例子。

该机构称，要求警方负责人追求“结果平等”的喧闹之声，等同于“拒绝”警察不畏强权、不偏不倚的职责，并实施了“两级警务”。

作者：Ryan Hooper 犯罪记者

据估计，自 2020 年乔治·弗洛伊德（George Floyd）被谋杀以来，在多样性、平等和包容性（DEI）活动上的支出已使纳税人承担了至少 £631 million —— 这笔钱足以支付数千名警员的薪资。

前大都会警察局侦探首席督察、政策交易所犯罪事务负责人大卫·斯宾塞（David Spencer）表示，他的报告揭示了“警方痴迷于 DEI 的惊人成本”。

他表示：“警察部队试图将‘反种族主义’的激进意识形态根植于英国警务之中。”报告发现，

自从六年前一名白人警员在明尼苏达州杀害了非武装的黑人美国人弗洛伊德先生后，警方更加注重 DEI。报告认为，英格兰和威尔士各地的警察部队过度担忧被指控为种族主义。

报告称：“关于‘两级’或‘差异化’警务的讨论

“例子不胜枚举”

毫无疑问将会继续。

然而，我们所发现的情况表明，这些例子不能仅仅归结为……个别警察错误的决策。它们极有可能是近年来警务最高层政策制定的结果。”

报告引用了杀手瓦尔多·卡洛卡内（Valdo Calocane）、艾克赛尔·鲁达库巴纳（Axel Rudakubana）和维克鲁姆·迪格瓦（Vickrum Digwa）作为肇事者的种族身份干扰判断的例子。

一项针对诺丁汉袭击事件的公开调查听证会获悉，在卡洛卡内杀掉三人之前的三年里，对其进行评估的心理健康团队在将其释放前，考虑了拘留中年轻黑人男性的“过度代表性”。

与此同时，一名社会工作者指责鲁达库巴纳的校长在对他行为提出担忧时对其进行了种族刻板印象化，随后他在 2024. 年在南肖波特的一个舞蹈课上将三名女孩刺死。而最近，汉普郡警方在南安普顿学生亨利·诺瓦克被锡克教徒迪格瓦刺死并垂死时将其逮捕。他被凶手诬陷为种族主义者。

报告称：“这些情况经常出现，是因为专业人员担心被贴上种族主义者的标签。例子不胜枚举。”

政策交易所根据英格兰五个警局的数据估计，自 2020, 年以来，在 DEI 和警察种族行动计划上共花费了 £631 million。

昨晚，影子内政大臣克里斯·菲利普（Chris Philip）表示，警方“应该取消所有这些 DEI 废话，将时间与资金用于抓捕罪犯”。

瑞安航空给被吸出窗外的男子发邮件……询问他是否想再次订票！

一名在 15,000 英尺（15）高空几乎被吸出瑞安航空（Ryanair）航班的乘客表示，该航空公司在未表现出任何关切的情况下，询问他是否想要重新订票。

来自塞萨洛尼基的 Vivek Chaudhary 的独家报道

现年 61 岁的 Ljubisa Karovic 还声称，自那次可怕的经历（由于机舱窗户破碎而发生）以来，航空公司没有任何人直接与他联系。在接受《每日邮报》采访时，他表示：“我们收到的全部是发给我儿子的电子邮件——是我儿子订的票——询问我们是否想要重新订票以及我的情况如何。但公司没有人直接联系我，甚至没有一个表示关心的电话。”

这名塞尔维亚国民在希腊度假后，乘坐瑞安航空 FR1879 航班从塞萨洛尼基前往德国梅明根。Karovic 先生当时在 11F 座位上熟睡，他回忆道，右侧的窗户突然破碎成碎片，发出的声音就像炸弹爆炸一样将其惊醒。随后他被吸入了窗户留下的破洞中。他的妻子 Svetlana Grkovic Maksimovic 坐在后三排，因为他们之前决定不支付 €30 (€25.60) 的费用以坐在一起。在没有思考的情况下，她猛地向前冲去，抓住了 Karovic 先生的双腿。

“机组人员什么也没做”

他说道：“当我挂在飞机外面时，我失去了意识……在被拉回机舱后，我又昏迷了三次。我的脸肿了，耳朵像个巨大的甜甜圈。”

在医院度过了六天后，Karovic 先生目前在塞萨洛尼基郊外的卡特里尼休养。

他患有严重的颈部和肩部疼痛，必须佩戴六周的颈托——并且可能需要进行手术。他的脸部和手臂还受到了灼伤。

** ordeal：Ljubisa Karovic 和他的妻子 Svetlana**

这对夫妇在塞尔维亚和希腊之间往返生活，他们在一起十年，结婚三年。

他们对瑞安航空机组人员对该事件的反应也感到失望。Maksimovic 女士说：“机组人员什么也没做。他们看起来比我们更害怕。只有乘客在帮忙。”

该夫妇由希腊律师 Vasilis Tsiaras 代表，他誓言要获得“巨额赔偿”。他补充道：“我的当事人从死亡边缘归来，我们要确保任何对此负责的人都受到追究。”

该事件正由美国国家运输安全委员会调查。据报道，瑞安航空老板 Michael O'Leary 暗示这是由于起飞期间的“异物”引起的。

该航空公司告诉《邮报》，在调查期间不予置评。但该公司此前表示其飞机是安全的，并称已与家属进行了沟通。

由于计算错误导致养老金超额支付，数百名退伍军人必须偿还数万英镑。

他们被告知必须归还这笔钱，尽管他们没有过错。

活动人士呼吁财政部免除总计 £5.1 million 的超额支付款项。

这些错误涉及武装部队的两个最终薪资计划，该计划为 432,000 名退休士兵提供终身收入。

最终薪资养老金的收入每年随通货膨胀而增长。但在某些年份，通货膨胀增幅似乎被计算了两次。公共

陆军养老金领取者被告知需偿还因错误超额支付的数千英镑

部门组织有义务追回超额支付的资金，无论谁有过错。

国防部 (MoD) 在 2024, 年 11 月发现了超额支付情况，但退伍军人直到今年才收到通知。71, 岁的詹姆斯·安克尔斯 (James Uncles) 曾任海军准尉并担任飞机工程师，他在 2 月收到一封信，要求他归还超过 £40,000.。

安克尔斯先生被告知，他的养老金将立即每月削减 1,000 英镑以上——降幅近 25 百分比。在接下来的五年里，每月将进一步扣除 £750，以偿还自 2021. 年 1 月以来他在不知情的情况下收到的超额支付款。68 岁的退休海军上尉迈克尔·埃文斯 (Michael Evans) 在 3 月收到两周通知，称其养老金每月将被削减 £414。他被告知需要在 18 个月内再偿还 £16,000。

为退伍军人提供指导服务的武装力量养老金协会 (Forces Pension Society, FPS) 表示，目前有 398 起案例。但该协会还意识到另有 1,000 起其他类型的超额支付案例。国防业务服务中心 (Defence Business Services) 是国防部的一个部门，负责养老金计划。国防部的 Veterans UK 负责评估权益并保留记录。金融公司 Equiniti 负责支付。

“未给出清晰的计算”

FPS 的少将尼尔·马歇尔 (Neil Marshall) 告诉《泰晤士报》：“退伍军人们没有得到清晰的计算，因此他们无法确认超额支付是否得到了正确的修正。” Equiniti 表示，其正努力确保退伍军人获得“正确的信息和适当的支持”。

想在度假时纵情享受且依然减轻体重？像法国女人那样饮食

生活中很少有确定的事情，但其中一件就是：你在夏季假期中兴致勃勃地品尝的诱人美食，也意味着当你回家时会带回一份不想要的纪念品：多出的几磅体重。

然而，在度假期间保持苗条不仅是可能的，而且在回来时甚至能比出发前更苗条。

学校假期何时变成了一项竞技运动？

这就是我们要面对的。漫长的暑假开始了。孩子们在地上倒立旋转、骑车绕花园转圈，或者把用枯萎玫瑰花瓣调制腐烂香水当成一周高光的日子已经成为过去。现在是“暑假最大化”（summer 'maxxing'）的时代，而且，天呐，竞争激烈得惊人。

“哦，我们？我们没什么计划，”这是那些最严重的“违规者”常用的托词，但这只是为了掩人耳目。事实上，他们已经预订了六周密集活动：以篮网球和足球训练营开局，接着是在教父母在城中银行的实习经历，两周在希腊的五星级酒店，外加一周在康沃尔郡以确保万无一失。

交织在这一切之中的是预约的玩伴日、游泳比赛和外出游览：索普公园、乐高乐园、奥尔顿塔、电影院、保龄球馆、攀岩墙、自行车赛道——而且每到一个站点都要来一杯冰沙。往昔那荒芜的夏天已经消逝。但回首看来，那些才是美好的旧时光。

我们有时会无聊得发疯，这反而给了想象力肆意驰骋的机会。

我的母亲会告诉你，我曾是个奇怪的孩子，在卧室里玩好几个小时的假装游戏，经营一家邮局（我既是顾客又是邮政局长），并且第 700 次将辛迪娃娃嫁给英俊的肯，而我的姐姐则试图通过剪碎新娘的衣服和染发来破坏这场婚礼。

这种对我缓慢且细致的折磨，事实上是我姐姐暑期的主要爱好。

我们出去玩吗？有时会。但在 80 年代，我们天然的活动场所就是自创的乐趣，即便其中夹杂着娃娃剧和兄弟姐妹间的战争，那也是一种纯粹的幸福。

快进到今天，我的孩子们分别是 19, 17 和 14 岁，

作者：Annie Hayes

这意味着我已经经历了 19 个这样的夏天——而我仍然发现，由于缺乏暑期活动，我让自己感到像个失败者。

社交媒体只会放大你的不足。那些所谓的“我们没做什么”阵营的人都在那里：一张孩子们在克罗伊兹学习冲浪的照片下方写着：“暑假第 18 天！”。你要明白，她不是在炫耀，她是在进行“社交最大化”。

我确实曾带孩子们进行一次真正的外出游览，与家庭朋友在德文郡体验海岸攀岩。其中一位母亲无法接受这个瞬间没有被记录在“炫耀图”（Brag-gram）上，因为我们必须把手机留在商店里。

她游向邻近的一艘船，招呼一位拿着 iPhone 的陌生人，并说服对方拍照并发送给她。于是，我们集体跳水的场景被“自发地”捕捉在镜头里，而我们所有人都按要求露出了灿烂的笑容。

但仅仅外出游览是不够的，活动必须具有教育意义，或者是一种技能培养方式。森林学校是为了学习可食用植物的名字，陶艺是为了“正念”，而幼儿普通话则是因为开始得越早越好。即使是一次海滩之旅也必须产出一个“海洋生态项目”，孩子被要求为岩池里的螃蟹编录目录，而他想要的不过是一个充满了沙子的火腿三明治。

而且，当他们进入青少年时期（就像我的孩子那样）时，这种情况并没有停止。那种像凯文一样恢复体力的昏睡——睡到中午，然后玩游戏直到天黑——已经被废除了。

这些青少年必须在一家律师事务所实习，那家事务所的老板是他们父亲的一个朋友的朋友的朋友，而对方欠了他一个人情。他们早上 6 点就穿着西装抵达那里，体验工作——或者说，工作在体验他们。之后，他们的手机被没收，他们被要求背着背包拿着地图在湖区徒步一周，在山岭和办公室之间没有一天的缓冲时间——妈妈没有安排空档，因为空档是一种浪费。

接着是一次闪电之旅，去北康沃尔郡看望马里莎和亨利，然后是南德文郡，接着是南萨福克郡，最后是北诺福克郡参加赛船周。打海滩板球是强制性的；当你抓起刚做好的螃蟹三明治跳上船时，穿着印有学校标志的连帽衫是不可协商的。

回到家中，年幼的孩子正按照妈妈制定的夏季时间表活动，时间表按天和活动用不同颜色标注。

周一是法语，周二是青少年铁人三项。在与另外两个家庭前往希腊进行为期两周的家庭旅行之前，这些是填充周——因为在酒店里有儿童俱乐部，毕竟天知道孩子们怎么能忍受两周时间都潜在水下假装成美人鱼。

理想情况下，他们会带着某种形式的证书回来，证明他们最大限度地利用了停留时间，并且是泳池边最受欢迎且最优秀的孩子。

在这些家庭中，孩子们绝不会说自己“无聊”——这个词不在家庭词汇表中。到青春期时，他们的简历就已经达到了“毕业生计划”的就职标准。

至于我自家的孩子，我不知道他们在哪里，也不知道在做什么。我告诉过他们需要找一份暑期工作——不是为了职业晋升，而是为了维持生活开支。如果他们能帮我遛狗，那算是个额外奖励，但他们正忙于自己的优先事项：睡觉、在地上堆积衣服（floorrobe-building）以及专业级的冰箱觅食。

如果他们没在做上述任何事情，那么他们一定像我当年那样，在一段灿烂的空白时光中随波逐流，吃着冷冻柜底部的陈年冰淇淋，并给单只的袜子配对，以此完成唯一一次闪现的“家务职责”。

这就是他们在这个假期里唯一能实现的“最大化”。野蛮生长。自由。而且快乐至极。

接前页

几个世纪以来，女性们一直信奉这一点——我在 25 年前搬到法国时也亲自发现了这一点。

我很快注意到，在吃奶酪课和喝第二杯朗格多克红酒之间，我在不刻意努力的情况下减轻了体重。事实上，在我 30 多岁抵达法国南部小镇佩泽纳斯时，我的初始体重约为 8st 1lb，在 12 个月内我减轻了 11lb，最终稳定在我目前苗条的 56 kilos，或者说在我 5ft 几英寸的身高下重 8st 11lb。

我现在 60 岁，但体重几乎与我上大学时完全一样。

在最初那几年来我家小住的英国朋友们问我，生活在一个生产世界顶级葡萄酒、且大多数人的早餐由主要由黄油制成的月牙形糕点组成的国家，怎么可能减肥。

这是一个好问题。在 20 世纪 90 年代初，科学家们确定了他们所谓的“法国悖论”。尽管法国人食用大量的流质奶酪（我提到这里有 246 种奶酪了吗？）、公斤级的肉酱和肥肝，饮用大量的酒精并充满热情地抽烟，但他们死于心脏病的可能性远低于美国或北欧的同行。

他们的肠癌和血液循环问题也较少，骨质疏松症的病例也更少。

针对这一悖论的标准回答是指向地中海饮食，更具体地说是红酒——由含有白藜芦醇（一种具有抗氧化、抗炎特性的物质）的葡萄酿制而成——橄榄油以及新鲜水果和蔬菜。

当然，这些都是重要因素。但其中还有更多原因。这不仅仅关乎法国人吃什么，而在于他们如何吃。

毫无疑问，你们中的许多人这个夏天将前往法国南部，也许是去普罗旺斯或多尔多涅。所以，这是你们尝试我独家的“去度假，像法国女人一样饮食并减肥”饮食法的机会。

我已经这样做了二十多年，同时依然享受着那些令人沉溺的糕点、浓郁的酱汁和极美的葡萄酒。

事实上，我的饮食法真正的好消息在于它根本不是一种饮食法；它仅仅是这个地区人们一直以来的饮食方式。尽可能地使用橄榄油。鱼类优先于红肉。番茄、西葫芦、茄子、辣椒，这些构成普罗旺斯烹饪骨干的“阳光蔬菜”（légumes du soleil）。

在用餐时饮酒，而不是像英国人那样用酒替代正餐（如果你担心葡萄酒会让人发胖：一杯中等分量的红酒含有约 140 卡路里，这大约相当于一把杏仁，而且可以说对身体同样有益）。

目标其实并不是为了变瘦，那只是一个令人愉悦的副作用。目标是 être bien dans sa peau，即在自己的皮肤里感到舒适（自在）。

总的来说，法国女性并不追求体重秤上的数字。她们希望感觉良好，仪态大方，并在享受美食的同时没有负罪感。

这与大多数饮食法所推销的野心有微妙的不同——

因此，它更容易实现，也更令人愉快。

每年夏天，我吃面包，喝红酒，在花园里与朋友们共度漫长的午餐，尽情享用奶酪，到九月份时，我感觉自己的身体状态比一年中的任何其他时刻都要好。

无需健身房，无需计算卡路里，无需计划。更重要的是，这些是你回到家中也能轻松继续的好习惯。所以，这里是我为您提供的夏季生活“无饮食饮食法”指南。

除非在餐桌前，否则绝不进食

我在 2000 年搬到这里时注意到的第一件事是，不坐下来与家人一起用餐被认为在最好的情况下是异国风情，而在某些人看来简直是古怪之极。

法国人在餐桌上用餐，绝不在走动中进食。他们全家坐在一起，以一种悠闲且放松的方式享用美食。

这意味着你会充分咀嚼食物，这具有双重效果：一是给胃时间向大脑发送“我已经吃饱了”的信号，二是帮助你消化食物。

在我居住的地方，除了大型超市，所有店铺在中午 12 点到下午 2 点之间都会关闭，以便每个人都能享用午餐。正餐之间的零食习惯并不盛行。简而言之，只有在坐在餐桌前时才进食。

放弃去大型超市大采购

这里仍然保留着按日采购的传统，无论是在当地市场还是超级市场。你买回来的农产品要在当天准备并食用。

这意味着你永远不会接触预包装的即食餐，这些食物不仅不健康，而且满足感较低，会让你感到饥饿并想吃更多。

当然，这种每日购物可能很耗时。但愿你不会在肉铺被某人挡住，听他讨论鸭肝酱（pâté de canard）与鸭肝慕斯（mousse de canard）相对而言各有怎样的好处。

但这同样具有社交属性，在法国，男主人和女主人一样多地承担购物任务，这也是另一个值得你在度假后带回家的习惯！

为沙拉增加风味，提升口感

尽可能多地摄入绿叶蔬菜。如果

我移居法国后不经意间变瘦了。现在我 60 岁，体重与 20 多岁时完全一样

你在餐厅不确定前菜点什么时，可以采用法国女性广为人知的秘诀：点一份绿叶沙拉。酱汁会非常美味，你还可以加入一些帕尔马干酪碎片来提升口感。这里的沙拉永远不会枯燥。想象一下配有蜂蜜和橄榄油酱汁的融化山羊奶酪。说到橄榄油，一个极健康的早餐选择是希腊酸奶配蜂蜜和超高品质的特级初榨橄榄油。

我以前每天喝一茶匙橄榄油，虽然对我身体好，但味道糟糕。现在我直接把它淋在酸奶上，味道好多了。这听起来可能很奇怪，但相信我，甜美的蜂蜜与辛辣的油以及浓郁的酸奶相结合，味道绝佳。

始终坚持少而精

可可·香奈儿（Coco Chanel）说过：“优雅即是拒绝。”永远追求质量而非数量。一小块顶级的黑巧克力比一整块甜腻的巧克力要令人满足得多。同样的逻辑也适用于奶酪、葡萄酒、面包——所有东西。少吃，但吃更好的。真的没有任何理由在任何事物上过量。我们所有人的进食量都超过了实际需求。

我记得 2000 年代在为我的关于法国女性的书籍做研究时，曾就此与超级时髦的模特及时尚偶像伊内丝·德·拉·弗雷桑日（Ines de la Fressange）交谈，问她是如何保持如此苗条的（尤其是考虑到她最喜欢的零食是 Crunchie 巧克力棒）。

“我只是在不饿的时候停止进食，”她告诉我。这听起来可能很显而易见，但你真的这么做了吗？下次当你准备伸手再去拿一块面包或奶酪时，花一点时间问问自己，你是真的还饿，还是仅仅为了吃而吃。

盘子撤走后，千万不要再点一瓶酒！

“少而精”的原则同样适用于葡萄酒。法国女性在餐前（即 apéro，通常只有一杯）和用餐期间饮酒。绝不在餐后饮酒。

她们不像英国女性经常做的那样，为了给正餐收尾而要求再来一瓶酒。

她们可能会喝杯花草茶，但绝不会再喝酒。这不仅减少了额外酒精带来的热量，还能防止你在第四杯酒的怂恿下，点那份你自认为需要的额外巧克力慕斯。

这里还有一个快速的小窍门。如果我觉得自己的体重开始超出理想范围，我就在两周内戒掉酒精和面包，这样我能立即减轻

状态极佳：上图的 Helena Frith Powell 蔑视健身房和计算卡路里

一到两公斤。就这样：不需要应用程序，不需要计划，也不需要计算卡路里。

以法式风格增加蛋白质摄入

法国人在最新的健康方案成为流行趋势之前，就已经采用了这些方法。在

FOTOLY'S MARKIN / GETTY IMAGES/ALAMY

2026 年的主流趋势中，包括了“蛋白质最大化”（protein-maxing）。这涉及在每餐中最大限度地增加蛋白质摄入，以提高新陈代谢并增强饱腹感。

你仍然可以食用碳水化合物、水果、乳制品——任何你喜欢的食物——只要你能达到高蛋白质目标（通常为每天每公斤体重 1.6 至 2.2 克）。

其重点在于身体成分：增加肌肉，减少脂肪，并抑制饥饿感。

这种饮食习惯源于健身和健美文化，并很大程度上通过社交媒体走向主流——但对于法国人来说这并不新鲜。凭借几乎每餐都有的鱼类、鸡蛋和熟食，他们从未缺乏蛋白质。

他们只是觉得没有必要给它贴标签。

给 30/30/30 趋势加入法式风情

30/30/30 法——在醒来后的 30 分钟内摄入 30 克蛋白质，随后进行 30 分钟的低强度运动——是当前的另一个大趋势。

科学依据是它可以稳定血糖并减少全天的食欲，但这早已深深植根于法国的生活方式中：只需将蛋白质奶昔换成两个鸡蛋和一些烟熏三文鱼，然后沿着河边或在海滩上散步即可。

拥抱饮食 —— 并且认真对待

所有这些方法 —— 30/30/30、蛋白质最大化 —— 实际上都是法国人几代以来一直静悄悄践行的主题变体：吃天然食物，优先选择优质蛋白质，不要过量摄入碳水化合物，并且在不斤斤计较的情况下活动身体。

这些新的健康时尚本身并没有错 —— 但它们都需要努力、规划和一定程度的自我克制，而法国人会觉得这有点荒谬。一个相当美妙的事实是，如果你按照他们的方式去做，根本不需要所谓的“节食”。

法国美食家布里亚-萨瓦兰（Brillat-Savarin）写道：“告诉我你吃什么，我就能告诉你你是谁。”两百年后，这仍然是最诚实的饮食建议。

法国人并没有发现什么秘密。他们只是保留了欧洲其他地区在工业革命期间丢失的东西，即：饮食是一种应当被认真对待的享受，而不是一个需要被管理的问题。

在他们的思维方式中，加工食品和预制餐没有立足之地。这里没有单一的规则。这更多的是一种态度，一套如此根深蒂固的习惯，以至于法国女性几乎意识不到它们的存在。

但如果将它们明确列出，你会发现它们极其容易遵循。

无论你住在哪里，或者无论你的度假目的地在何方，在进入夏天时让自己状态最佳、最有效且最不痛苦的方式，就是像法国女性那样饮食（和饮酒）。

每日邮报，2025年7月27日，星期一

在经历了数周日益严重的恶心感之后，我去了全科医生（GP）那里做了一些血液检查。第二天，他们打来电话告知了一个令人惊恐的消息：我的血钙水平过高。

高钙血症可能很危险。它可能预示着甲状旁腺问题等健康问题，如果得不到治疗，可能会导致更多问题，如肾结石以及骨骼、心脏和大脑的问题。

庆幸的是，在我的案例中，解释很简单。你看，除了我办公桌上已经堆积如山的补充剂 —— omega 3、胶原蛋白、益生菌、镁、B 族维生素复合制剂 —— 为了提高骨密度，我还连续几个月每天服用大剂量钙片。

在接到全科医生的那个电话后，我停止服用钙片，恶心感和肾脏疼痛减轻了，一周后，第二次血液检查结果恢复正常。

作为一名健康作家，我感到有些羞愧。但就像数百万人一样，我也成为了最新健康趋势的牺牲品。

目前有两种尤其令人担忧的补充剂相关时尚。“维生素最大化”（Vitamin maxxing）是一种社交媒体趋势，鼓励人们服用大剂量补充剂以追求最佳健康状态 —— 就像我和我的钙片一样。

然后是“补充剂叠加”（supplement stacking），即通过特定的组合服用补充剂，以提高免疫力、肠道健康、睡眠、能量并延缓衰老。

根据 Which? 的一项调查，四分之三的英国成年人服用补充剂，大约六分之一的人每天服用 4 种或更多。

我们被那些网红们轰炸，他们解释为什么服用一大把药丸是明智之举，但受人尊敬的业内人士越来越担心服用大量或高剂量补充剂的安全性。

“许多补充剂叠加方案是基于社交媒体趋势、网红推荐或轶闻报告，而非坚实的临床证据，”来自健康与食品补充剂信息服务中心（hss.org）的公共健康营养师 Emma Derbyshire 博士说道。

她表示，此类来源存在“过度简化营养学”的风险，因为它们暗示更多的维生素“自动等同于更好的健康”。

我的情况稍微复杂——

医生警告反对“补充剂最大化”时尚

我试图增强骨骼健康，结果导致过量服用

作者：Alice Smellie

这种情况很复杂，但绝非唯一。在 2023 年接受癌症治疗后，我接受了名为唑来膦酸（双膦酸盐）的输液以增强骨密度。每次输液后，我都被要求服用一个月的时间的钙剂。

由于我也有骨质疏松的家族史，在之前的药物供应用完后，我购买了自己的钙片来服用。我当时正尽最大努力改善我的骨骼健康。

事实上，检查显示我的钙水平天然就很高，通过增加摄入量，我将其推得太高了。

我当时甚至没有服用超高剂量。NHS（英国国家医疗服务体系）表示，成年人每天需要 700 毫克钙，并不建议服用超过 1500 毫克的量。由于我的补充剂是 1000 毫克，我处于限额之内，但由于我本身水平就高，这让我感到非常不适。

而且，任何东西过量都可能是危险的。“过量摄入维生素 A 与肝毒性及骨折风险增加有关，而长期服用高剂量维生素 B6 可能会导致神经损伤，”Megan Rossi 博士 (thepulhealthdoctor.com) 说道。

补充剂之间，以及补充剂与药物之间可能会产生负面相互作用。“一位客户抱怨腹胀、消化不适和恶心，”营养师兼《The 30g Plan Cookbook》作者 Emma Bardwell 说道。

“我们审查了她的补充剂组合，她当时在服用复合维生素、绿色粉末、镁、指甲头发补充剂、胶原蛋白、益生菌以及几种她在社交媒体上发现的随机健康粉末。”在去掉大部分补充剂后，她的问题解决了。

Bardwell 表示，这种情况绝非罕见。“我见过人们在服用复合维生素的同时服用单一补充剂、粉末和健康产品，从而在不知情的情况下重复服用两倍或三倍的相同成分，”她说。“检查你的摄入量至关重要。”

另一个问题是，许多人忽略了饮食，而倾向于服用大剂量的维生素。“我称之为‘健康光环’效应，”Rossi 博士说。“人们过于专注于寻找完美的补充剂组合，以至于忽视了生活习惯，例如饮食多样化且富含纤维、规律运动、保证充足睡眠以及管理压力。与多加一颗胶囊相比，这些对长期健康的影影响要大得多。”

那么，解决方案是什么？五月，我参加了牛津长寿项目 (Oxford Longevity Project) 峰会。演讲者绝大多数都支持生活方式因素，例如未加工食品饮食、运动、睡眠、压力管理和社交关系。没有一位著名的教授或科学家建议随意使用高剂量补充剂是一个好主意。

但他们表示，基于证据的补充是有其空间的。Derbyshire 博士指出，我们是一个在维生素和矿物质缺乏方面苦苦挣扎的国家。

代表健康食品制造商的 HSIS 的一份报告显示，我们在维生素 D、钙、铁、钾、硒和 Omega-3 脂肪酸等关键营养素方面存在显著短缺。

“为了帮助填补这些缺口，在均衡饮食的基础上，复合维生素和复合矿物质补充剂是一个有用的营养安全网，”她建议道。但那是每天一个，而不是每天十个。

Bardwell 强调，补充剂——显然——仅仅是补充剂，我们的饮食应当提供大部分营养。

现在我只服用维生素 D 和胶原蛋白。我更多地关注饮食：纤维、精益蛋白和各种水果蔬菜，以及每周 3 次的力量训练以维持骨密度。

事实证明，让自己感觉更好并最大化健康的秘诀并不在药瓶底部。

当太阳在柬埔寨古老的吴哥窟神庙上方升起，其华丽的塔楼在渐亮的黎明中勾勒出剪影时，我感到心潮澎湃。这是一个纯粹的愉悦时刻，大多数人肯定希望能与心爱的人分享。但我独自一人，在东南亚独自背起行囊旅行——而且我感到无比幸福。

我深深地舒了一口气，满足地看着玫瑰色的天空变成金色。

两年前的这次独自冒险并非在中学或大学后的间隔年。这也不是像伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特的《美食、祈祷、爱》那样在离婚后寻找自我的旅程。我 52 岁，是一位婚姻美满且有四个孩子的母亲，然而此时此刻，我正独自在越南、柬埔寨和泰国旅行的一个月旅程中。

从那时起，我独自访问了波兰的克拉科夫，参观了奥斯威辛集中营，最近又在危地马拉、墨西哥和哥伦比亚独自度过了一个月。

说到度假，我坚信“他人即地狱”。随着夏季进入高峰，你可能很快将前往沙滩、蔚蓝的泳池并饮用无限量供应的鸡尾酒——

家庭旅行更像是一场军事演习，而非休息

我希望你度过一段美好的时光，但事实是，你可能并不愉快。现实很少能达到幻想中的样子——至少如果你有孩子的话是这样。

家庭度假更像是一场军事演习，而非休息。从在烈日下尝试在没有护栏的泳池边哄幼儿开心，到试图寻找青少年不会抱怨的活动或景点，这绝不是父母所渴望的放松假期。

和女性朋友们一起出去也不太一样。我每年与四个学校家长的旅行始于一场紧张的 WhatsApp 聊天，争论第一个目的地，然后是航班和住宿。当有些人追求香槟级的品味，而另一些人则习惯省钱时，这并不容易。

接着是对我们是去美术馆还是去夜店、是打车还是乘坐公共交通，以及在中午之前开启普罗塞克起泡酒是否可接受的紧张谈判。实际上，我撒谎了；关于最后一点我们都达成了一致——在度假时，喝起泡酒永远不嫌早。

我不敢相信我花了 50 年才发现一个完美假期的秘密：独自前往。相信我，这是获得平静的唯一方法。

这在以前是我没考虑过的事情。独自旅行感觉像是无畏的年轻人才会做的事；需要有足够强壮的背部来背行囊，并且标准足够低到能接受睡在旅舍的上下铺。

但随后我有了自己的

绝佳逃离：Ursula 在柬埔寨马名省（左）和危地马拉蒂卡尔的旅行经历

我打造完美假期的秘密？

把丈夫和孩子留在家里！

2024. 年是我极其糟糕的一年（annus horribilis）。我的儿子们——现在 22 岁的 Jacob，现在 20 岁的 Max，以及现在 17 岁的双胞胎 Zach 和 Jonah——成长得很快，我能感觉到“空巢期”即将到来。

我的丈夫讨厌他的工作，且在过去几年里一直处于抑郁状态。我的年迈父母需要照顾，尤其是我的父亲在一次跌倒后需要搬进护理院，那是一段极其痛苦且压力巨大的经历。

我的心理健康状况也出了问题，这导致我失去了在金融城（the City）的一份六位数年薪的工作——我曾是一家保险公司的董事。当你作为家里主要的经济支柱时，这种情况绝不理想，我几乎跌到了谷底。

就在那时，我决定我需要逃离。当我预订前往河内的机票时，我使用了在工作中积累的 Avios 积分支付，并挥霍了一次商务舱往返机票。面对这个前景，我感到极度恐惧。

我从未独自去过任何地方，而且我习惯了由丈夫处理我们旅行的所有后勤事宜。说实话？我不确定自己能否独立完成这次旅行——但我知道我必须离开。当我告诉大多数朋友我的计划时，他们感到惊骇。他们坚持认为，自己绝不会在出去享乐时，把丈夫和孩子丢下让他们自生自灭。

有些人认为这个主意太可怕了，或者单纯不喜欢单独相处这么长时间，但我知道其他人内心其实非常羡慕。

问题在于，很多 50 多岁的已婚母亲失去了自我意识，随之而来的还有大量的自信心。我知道我也失去了。

在多年为孩子操心之后，那种焦虑会渗透进她们的身份认同中，让一切都变得令人恐惧。我们也认为，守住阵地并维持一切正常运转是我们的职责，深信如果没有我们，整个家庭将会分崩离析。

被反复询问为什么想独自旅行，也让我觉得自己因为把丈夫留在身后而成为一个糟糕的妻子。

事实上，每一个我告诉过的人都会立即问我丈夫对此怎么看——就好像我要么是在拒绝他，要么是需要他的允许才能出发。我认为如果提出这次大型独旅计划的是他，这种情况就不会发生。

我确实在思考，这是否意味着我对他的爱减少了，因为我如此渴望为自己做点什么，而不是作为伴侣的一半。但事实上，正是因为他坚定不移的鼓励，我才登上了飞机。

他明白，在多年应对他的抑郁症，同时又是全职工作母亲之后，我理应拥有这段属于自己的时间。

他也知道失去工作对我的自信心造成了多大的打击，并且意识到向自己证明我依然是一个强大且能干的女性至关重要。

这并不是说我离开他时没有愧疚感。过去我曾因工作出差，但从未离开这么久（一个月）。

在机场，我走过安检时在发抖。我几乎转身回家。当我抵达越南时，我得竭尽全力才能走到酒店。我立即给家里打了电话——然后落了几颗泪。

我花了几天才进入独自旅行的状态。最难的一件事就是在外就餐。我从未独自在餐厅用餐，我感到非常局促，但我逐渐爱上了在那儿读本书，悄悄观察路人的感觉。独自旅行最美妙的地方在于，你只需要取悦一个人——你自己。

在我想起床的时候起床，只做我想做的事，在我想吃的时候和想吃的地方吃饭，这太惬意了。另一个巨大的好处是结识新朋友。当你和朋友或家人在一起时，很难与陌生人聊天。而当我一个人时，我会遇到各种各样的人。

在最近的拉丁美洲之旅中，我与一名来自洛杉矶的男同性恋物理治疗师一起在安提瓜徒步攀登一座火山；在墨西哥城与两位七旬老人分享鸡尾酒，她们向我讲述 20 世纪 80 年代身为职业女性的故事；还与美国最著名的编剧之一的妻子一起吃塔可。

在柬埔寨，一位中国企业家请我吃晚餐，他和我之前在吴哥窟游览时认识的一位日本离婚女性成为了朋友。在越南，我与一名和我的大儿子同龄的苏格兰护士一起划皮划艇。如果带着家人随行，我永远不会拥有这些冒险经历。

回到家是一次冲击。当然，我极其思念我的丈夫和家人，但我

独自旅行应成为 NHS 为每位中年母亲提供的服务

已经习惯了只照顾自己。回到家后，我立即回到了照顾大家庭的繁重琐事中。

我也对每个人在我不在时应对得如此之好感到有些不快。我内心的一部分感到有些失望，因为我发现自己对于家庭运作的重要性并没有我想象中那么关键。

但话又说回来，这反而让我更有信心预订更多的独自冒险之行，因为我已经证明了没有妈妈他们也能应付。

虽然我成了独自旅行的坚定拥趸，但我仍然会和家人一起旅行。事实上，我认为这让我更坚定地想要分享我的旅行痴迷。

2025. 年，我带着丈夫和双胞胎儿子扎克（Zach）和乔纳（Jonah）去了马来西亚。一起创造回忆是如此有意义。现在，扎克和我共同梦想能成为电视节目《Race Across The World》中的参赛队伍之一。

即便如此，我认为独自旅行应该作为 NHS 为每位中年已婚母亲提供的项目。为了增强信心并提醒你自己是多么强大，这比世界上所有的激素替代疗法（HRT）和心理治疗都有效。我对这件事深信不疑。

在我们做出所有这些牺牲之后，我们理应拥有一些冒险经历，而且我向你保证，当独自享受时，这些经历会更加愉快。

如何穿出成熟感

Shane Watson

这里有一件你并非每天都能听到的建议。今年夏天最实用的配饰，那件能让日常穿搭瞬间变得时尚的单品，正是你已经拥有的一件。

它就在抽屉里，也许和一袋薰衣草放在一起。它很朴素，是羊毛材质，它就是（鼓号响起）那件谦卑的圆领长袖毛衣。

只不过，现在你不需要把手臂伸进袖子里，也不需要把头钻进领口（毕竟现在是夏天，这件毛衣在另行通知前已被重新定义用途）。

我们将其称为“披肩毛衣”（简称 SAS），它是让你衣橱实现“去龄化”最快的方式，而且无需花费一分钱。

这其实并非新主意。我们知道把毛衣披在肩上的穿法，而时尚界的头排嘉宾们已经这样穿了一年多。

但从今年夏天起，这种造型已经实现了跨越——从你在时装秀上看到的华丽造型点缀，变成了主流时尚的回归。

更重要的是，它既是一个酷炫的造型技巧，也是一个每个人都能参与的实用辅助。我们未必会费心把衣领翻起来，或者把衬衫塞一半、露一半（法式塞法），但 SAS 感觉很自然，看起来也很自然，而且除了精准命中时尚点外，它确实让衣服变得更耐穿。

如果你处于 50 岁以上的年龄组，这可能决定了你是穿无袖装还是不穿。

如果你想最大限度地利用夏季 SAS，以下是你需要知道的一切……

1. 你的 SAS 需要柔软且重量在轻至中等之间。粗花篮织法或带有毛绒感的羊毛衫在温暖的天气里看起来太厚重，且无法优雅地披挂和垂坠。

此外，羊毛比棉质更好（更优雅），且纯毛衣比开襟衫更好：没那么凌乱。

2. 在裸露双臂且领口较低的情况下，你可以直接将 SAS 披在背上，将两袖在胸前交叉打结一次。这能为你提供额外的遮盖，并增加另一种质感和颜色（参考演员 Daisy Edgar-Jones 穿着白色无袖太阳裙和米色 SAS 抵达戛纳电影节参加戛纳电影节时的造型）。就这样，她看起来优雅程度提升了大约 80 百分比。

3. SAS 可以起到披肩的作用，但不会看起来像披肩那样土气——如果我们在身上披一件真正的披肩，绝对会显得土气。它可以软化剪裁考究的正装连衣裙的领口；在没有外套时，将其披在衬衫肩上可提供一丝结构感。

如果你有足够的自信穿着背心，SAS 在那些你需要更多遮盖的场合会非常有用。

4. 选择任何颜色，只要

披肩会让您瞬间显老。请尝试这个替代方案...

超级时髦：Daisy Edgar-Jones 抵达戛纳

因为它平庸且不美观。一件 SAS（柔软羊绒衫）可以作为强烈的点缀——在极简的装扮中注入一抹出人意料的色彩；它可以增加一个微妙的同色系层次；或者与同色 T 恤叠穿，显得十分时髦。

看看 Daisy Edgar-Jones，在戛纳周期间，她身穿一件灰色羊毛 T 恤，搭配同色系的 SAS、宽松白色牛仔裤和黑色高跟鞋，看起来超级时髦。奶油色配白色效果很好。红色配黑色是目前时尚界的宠儿。灰色是一种沉稳的颜色，可以搭配粗花呢和格纹进入冬季。

5. 考虑将一件毛衣随意地绕在臀部或腰间。您可能会认为这会在不需要的地方增加臃肿感，但只要您选择轻盈、柔软的毛衣，且身高处于平均水平，这绝对是一个比腰带更具包容性的替代方案。

一件小黑毛衣松松地系在一条直筒白色牛仔裤的臀部（这是 Kendall Jenner 的心头好造型），增加的是干练感而非围度。如果您愿意，可以将袖子系在前面并覆盖在臀部，这样它还能起到遮盖作用。

此外，一件红色小毛衣系在小黑裙（LBD）腰部的一侧，或者一件午夜蓝毛衣绕在连体裤的腰间以打破轮廓感。完美。

6. 请记住，这并非仅限一个季节的造型。早在春季，走在时尚前沿的人们就会将毛衣披在风衣的翻领上。

当天气转凉，或者在微风习习的夏夜，披肩或围巾（在“瞬间显老”清单之首）的现代替代方案，是将 SAS 穿在扣好扣子的卡其色夹克外，或系在西装外套的领口。

如果还有比这更简单的夏日抗老穿法，我想不出有哪个了。

灵感 (INSPIRE)

每日邮报，星期一，2026年7月27日

我戒掉了酒精，并且

多年来，我将女性友谊与酒精联系在一起。尽管凯特和我从五岁起就是朋友，且在十年后才开始饮酒，但在许多方面，我与她的关系与我与酒精的关系密不可分。

我们在小学相识，并立即像小女孩那样变得形影不离，这种方式带有一种浪漫的、单一的关系，至今我觉得很奇妙：对一个人的永恒且不渝的爱。随着我父母的婚姻破裂，我与凯特的友谊更加深厚。

她的家人将我接纳其中，我欣然接受，对我认为的正常家庭充满感激。

当我的母亲来接我时，我会用手指用力掐自己的手掌，并拒绝下楼。

“你在伤害你自己！”凯特会尖叫道，“别那样做，太吓人了。”

以一种奇怪的预兆方式，这是许多此类对话中的第一次。随着时间的推移，我们两人都会伤害彼此。

11 岁时，我们最终去了不同的 London 学校，但发誓永远不会寻找另一个最好的朋友——我认为我们是认真的。晚上我们依然在电话中聊上几个小时，周末则一起骑马。

但裂痕开始出现：她不像以前那样随时有空。她的母亲经常说：“我会让她给你回电话的。”

但如果有一件事能暂时巩固一段关系，那就是酒精，我们很快就发现了它具有修复关系的魅力。

15 岁时，我在母亲不在家时邀请她过来——随着母亲即将再婚，这种情况变得越来越频繁。

作者：Hetty Moorehead

在青少年时期，凯特和我经常饮酒过量。那是 90 年代末和 2000 年代初，一个酗酒与女性主义在“全都要”文化中携手共进的时代。

与女性一起喝得酩酊大醉被向我们推销为赢得平等的证明。我们也可以拥有曾经是男性专属的酗酒友谊。

就像最好的朋友萨迪·弗罗斯特和凯特·摩丝一起从酒吧跌跌撞撞地走出，以及《欲望都市》中的凯莉·布雷肖宿醉着去上班一样，我们也如此。

“布里吉特也会这么做的，”我们以前经常这样笑着，同时偷走我母亲的另一瓶葡萄酒，并点起当晚第 20 根万宝路白金烟，以向我们酗酒的英雄布里吉特·琼斯致敬。对于两个青少年来说，我们喝了很多——肯定远超平均水平：每次见面两人喝掉两瓶酒，如果我们在午餐时间就开始喝酒（我们经常这么做），量还会更多。

在大学期间、初入职场、住在糟糕的住所以及面对更糟糕的男朋友时，我们依然在酒精中前行。

我喝得比她多吗？并不真正如此，但酒精对我生活产生的影响要深远得多。

我想你可以说我们喝酒的原因不同：她是为了轻快和乐趣，而我是为了释放我内心阴暗的恶魔。

我深思熟虑过酒精对女性友谊的影响，我仍然无法完全解释其奇妙的炼金术。

想象一下那个场景：酒吧里的一个小包间，或者一家极简风格的酒吧，你们点上一瓶酒坐下来叙旧。

酒精迅速加快了你自我剖析并吐露内心最深处秘密的速度。酒精让你相信，你的女性同伴就是你的情感双胞胎。

对话中充斥着：“噢我的天，是的，我也一样，我感觉完全一样”。我们期望从女性朋友那里获得深刻且

[[IMG_XXXX]] 在我十几岁后期， 我已经陷入 酒精中毒 的控制之中

互惠，而酒精无疑让这种流动变得顺畅。

然而，这种深层的忏悔之流既令人陶醉又具有毒性。事实是，酒精创造了一面诡计之镜。你永远无法在另一个人身上看到自己；相信我，我试过了。

当时我并不知情，但我已经远远超过了布里吉特·琼斯的程度。

事后看来，在我十几岁后期，我已经陷入了一种名称令我厌恶的疾病的控制之中：酒精中毒。

而其他女性朋友在姐妹们一起狂欢一夜后，还能起床去上班或听课，我却几乎无法动弹，陷入了一种威胁要将我吞噬的抑郁之中，双手颤抖得厉害，以至于我几乎无法出门。我失去了工作，我失去了所有

行李箱必备品

我刚从威尔士度假回来，那里灿烂的阳光让我对一系列夏季产品进行了实测。在彭布罗克郡 (Pembrokeshire) 纯净的海滩上，我度过了漫长的日子，尽情沐浴阳光，全身涂满了 SPF50 防晒霜，然后在晚上从头到脚涂抹保湿产品。那么，我建议你在度假行李中准备什么呢？请为以下产品在行李箱中腾出空间……

Rituals 泡沫防晒 SPF50，£21.90 (rituals.com)

防晒产品的问题在于使用起来并不总是令人愉悦，因此我们并不一定会像应该那样频繁地补涂。但 Rituals 推出的这款巧妙新品则不同。这款乳霜状泡沫非常容易涂抹且持久。

它不像乳液那样到处滴落，也不会像喷雾那样凭空消失——因此，我确信没有遗漏任何部位。

对于像我这样害怕晒太阳的女性来说，这值得其较高的价格。

失去了我最好的朋友

图片（由模特示范）GETTY IMAGES

自尊，并且最终，我失去了许多女性朋友。

25 岁时，我知道有些不对劲，但我太沉迷于酒精，以至于无法将其视为根源。酒精难道没有给我带来朋友和身份认同感吗？我无法忍受与之告别。此时，一个新的叙事开始了——一个将永远改变我生活的故事。我的生死之交凯特对我感到不耐烦了。“我觉得你只需要休息一晚，”当我对她讲述我的抑郁症时，她会这样说，“你没有饮酒问题。”

我将我的酗酒行为定义为抑郁症的一部分，但她认为我在夸大其词，并告诉我要振作起来。我们回到了旧有的“受害者”与“白骑士”的动态关系中，这种关系在我们小时候她父母帮助我时就已形成。但我不能为了她而继续饮酒，不是吗？

在我参加第一次 AA（匿名戒酒会）会议的那天，我不敢告诉凯特我在哪里。

一周前，她驱车 50 英里来救我脱离宿醉，开玩笑说我真正需要的是一杯葡萄酒和躺下休息。我笑了，但我内心深处有些东西改变了。

随着我远离酒精，我也远离了她。这就是令人难过的事实。由于害怕她的反应，我很恐惧告诉她我已经戒酒了。在我向她宣布这个消息的那天，当我们坐在咖啡馆里时，我觉得自己就像是在请求她离婚。

“你不能偶尔喝一点吗？”她问。

我没勇气告诉她，这意味着永远不再喝。或者，也许我当时自己还没有意识到这个事实。

在我清醒的第一年里，当我清醒地参加婚礼和派对时，她会对聚集的人群大声炫耀“我以前真是个有趣的人”。我笑了，但在内心深处，我感受到了失去的痛苦——失去了旧时的自我，也失去了她的友谊。

当我戒酒满一年时，朋友们带我去吃早午餐；她不在其中。

在我的婚礼上，我看着她在拥挤的房间对面喝着香槟，感觉到即使她想靠近，也与我相隔万里。我无法指出友谊破裂的具体某个瞬间。但随着我开始康复后的新生活，我们的两极简单地分开了。

我确保不在周日与她安排行程，因为那时她可能在宿醉；而我也肯定她不再告诉我她在夜生活中所经历的事情。

我们从形影不离变成了偶尔的周中晚餐，然后，在不知不觉中，变得完全没有任何联系。

在我已经清醒的 15 年里，我不得不接受这样一个事实：某些友谊——尤其是那些建立在酒精基础上的成长期友谊——无法承受清醒带来的情感地震。

对于许多你曾经一起喝酒的人来说，变得清醒是一种背叛行为，或者是对他们习惯的含蓄批评。没有人喜欢感受到那种自命清高的审视，对此我完全能够理解。幸运的是，并非所有人都这么看。我保留至今的童年女性好友告诉我，她们不记得我喝酒时的样子。

而我通过为人母亲而结识的新朋友告诉我，她们从未想过要问我为什么不喝酒。

我以前经常想起凯特，想象我们的生活可能会重新交汇的场景。但我不敢确定她现在是否还能认出我。十五年是很长一段时间，我已经变成了不同的人。我们所有人都是。

Naked Sundays CabanaClear Water Gel Serum SPF50, £30 (naked sunday.com) 我的常读读者会知道我热爱这家澳大利亚公司的亮泽精华液，但在海滩上，我绝对要追求素颜感。

于是这款保湿 SPF 凝胶登场了——它的吸收效果极佳。它的设计非常轻盈，甚至可以涂在妆后，且没有给我留下任何白色条纹。

SuperGoop! (Re)Setting 100% 矿物粉末 SPF30，£29 (spacenk.com) 我肯定不是唯一一个中年女性在发缝处晒伤的人吧？对于不想戴棒球帽的日子，这就是解决方案。它有点像腮红刷，注入了 SPF 粉末，在发缝上扫一下就搞定了。你也可以在其他地方使用，但对我来说，它的天才之处在于无需戴帽且不油腻的发丝。

Laneige Lip Glowy Balm 润唇膏，£17.50 (spacenk.com) 喜欢风靡的 Laneige 睡眠面膜？那么这款润唇膏与唇釉的混合体就是为你准备的。它有十种口味——从芒果到抹茶，但我尝试的是甜糖果味。它可能不是最优雅的，但味道很棒，而且在起风时能让我的双唇保持水润、光泽且不沾沙子。这就像是海滩上的一双果冻鞋在彩妆界的对应物。

PERS Cleansing Gel 洁面凝胶，£40 (johnbell croyden.co.uk) 已故的法国美容医生 Antoni Calmon 创造了这款产品，以确保你在阳光下出行前，能清除晚霜中残留的每一丝视黄醇。在 29C 的阳光下享受时我没有使用任何“活性成分”，但我希望确保在夜晚能彻底清除所有 SPF 痕迹。这款产品出色地完成了任务，且没有让我的皮肤感到紧绷。

SVR Palpebral Balm 眼睑膏，£18 (the french pharmacy.com) 我在一周内就用掉了半罐这个极其出色的面膜。这是一款超温和的补水膏，专为易患湿疹的皮肤设计，可缓解红肿、刺激并镇静瘙痒。我很幸运没有这些困扰，但由于我脸上沾满了阳光、沙子和盐分，皮肤依然将其迅速吸收。噢，而且它闻起来像 Bounty 巧克力棒。

Nuze Huile Prodigieuse 多用途干性油，£19.50 (nuze.com) 我已经使用这款法国经典产品几十年了，这种干性油像梦一样渗入我的头发和皮肤，没有油腻感。对我来说，这就是假期的味道。

关于 2 型糖尿病发病率上升，我希望每个人都能了解的事

当我还是个医学生时，2 型糖尿病被认为是一种“晚年”疾病，通常影响 60 岁和 70 岁的人群。

如今许多人，包括一些医生在内，仍然认为 2 型糖尿病是在中年时才会找上门的东西。

然而，上周公布的数据发现，20 多岁的女性患该病的比例呈“令人担忧的增长”。

伦敦帝国学院（Imperial College London）的研究人员分析了 2011 年至 2024 年间的 NHS 数据，发现 20-29 岁女性中 2 型糖尿病的新诊断病例增加了 69 百分比。

同年龄段年轻男性的增长率为 43 百分比，因此，年轻人 2 型糖尿病病例增加的整体趋势似乎是由女性驱动的。

当你的身体停止对胰岛素（一种激素）产生反应，或无法产生足够的胰岛素时，就会发展为 2 型糖尿病，导致血糖水平升高。

我现在并不想惊吓或羞辱任何人，但许多人对这种疾病的概念非常模糊——而其长期并发症可能非常严重。这些并发症包括血管受损导致的心脏病和中风，足部问题（如溃疡和感染），以及视力问题（包括糖尿病视网膜病变甚至失明）。

而在 25 岁时患病，并非比在 65 岁时患病程度更轻。

在 20 多岁时确诊，意味着在接下来的 40 或 50 年里血糖一直处于升高状态，在此期间，损害会在眼睛和肾脏的小血管中、足部神经中以及心脏动脉中悄悄且逐渐地累积。

英国糖尿病协会（Diabetes UK）计算得出，在这个国家，2 型糖尿病每周导致 184 例截肢、超过 1,010 例中风、700 例心脏病发作和 3,340 例心力衰竭。

最让我困扰的是它地悄无声息地降临。永不消退的口渴感、更频繁地去洗手间、一夜好眠也无法消除的疲劳感、视力模糊或久治不愈的伤口，这些都可能是 2 型糖尿病发出的微妙信号。

所有这些症状都很容易被归结为压力大，或者仅仅是因为忙得不可开交。

而这正是那个陈旧假设如此具有破坏性的地方。一名 25 岁且有这些症状的女性不太可能想到糖尿病。我已经数不清有多少患者告诉我，他们感到“状态不对”，并在最终确诊前，将此归咎于工作压力，这种情况持续了近一年之久。

那么，你需要留意哪些迹象？女性应警惕反复发作的阴道霉菌病和重复发生的尿路感染。当然，这两种情况都极其普遍，但你应该严肃对待反复发作的病例，因为它们也可能是尿糖升高导致的早期后果（因为这会促使细菌更容易生长）。

多囊卵巢综合征和妊娠糖尿病也意味着 2 型糖尿病的风险增加，且在这一年龄组中较为常见。2 型糖尿病还越来越多地与肥胖和生活方式因素相关联。

体重超标的年轻女性（及男性）人数增加，在诊断病例的激增中起到了主要作用。这并不是

贝克汉姆品牌：Harper 仅 15 岁就推出了护肤系列

因为缺乏意志力，而是因为我们生活环境发生了深刻的变化。

大多数触手可及的食物经过专门设计，旨在让你在极短时间内消耗大量食物——而且在下单后 20 分钟内即可送到家门，甚至无需跑一趟商店。

但也有更令人乐观的消息。正如开创性的 DiRECT 临床试验所证明的，2 型糖尿病是可以逆转的——而且年轻人比老年人更容易实现这一点。

在 2018 年的 DiRECT 试验中，新诊断出 2 型糖尿病的志愿者在进行了长达五个月的低卡路里汤品和奶昔饮食后，46 百分比的人在一年内使病情进入缓解期。

这意味着他们的血糖水平已恢复正常，且不需要药物治疗。成功率与减轻的体重密切相关：在减轻 10kg 至 15kg 体重的人群中，有 57% 的人逆转了 2 型糖尿病。

这种“汤和奶昔”方案现在构成了 NHS 有效的“2 型糖尿病缓解路径”计划的基础。因此，如果您担心您的女儿或孙女，请不要从教训她的饮食开始。

我们都知道那种方法很少奏效。相反，请询问她上次进行血液检查是什么时候。

Diabetes UK 慈善机构还提供一个非常有用的免费在线风险评分，只需几分钟即可完成，而在全科医生 (GP) 处进行简单的血液检查即可给出明确答案。

如果能及时发现，这是少数几种仍可被击退的严重疾病之一——而且在许多人仍被忽视的那个精确年龄段，最容易实现这一点。

为什么我担心哈珀

哈珀·贝克汉姆在两周前刚满 15 岁，据说尽管即将面临 GCSE 考试，她仍准备推出一个名为“Harlo by Harper”的护肤系列，旨在面向易长痤疮的青少年。

她在仅五岁时，其名字就被注册为商标。

这让我想起她的哥哥今年早些时候在 Instagram 上发布的一篇声明，其中提到贝克汉姆品牌对他们家庭至关重要。布鲁克林在文中表示，感情是通过你发布内容的多少来衡量的。他的父母从未公开评论，我也不清楚这是否是公正的描述。

然而，这描述了一种特定的童年状态，我在我的患者身上见过，因此立即能认出。

孩子很早就意识到什么能让他们获得温暖。如果认可似乎取决于他们的产出，他们长大后会成为极其擅长完成要求任务的成年人，但永远不确定自己是被爱着，还是仅仅因为有用。

■ 英格兰数以千计的多发性硬化症（MS）患者上周获得了一种可能帮助他们重新行走药片的使用资格。Pampridine 的作用是帮助电信号绕过被 MS 损害的神经区域。在临床试验中，43% 的患者步行速度提高了约四分之一。NHS England 预计，仅在第一年就有 5,000 人将从中受益。然而，该药在威尔士自 2019 年起、在苏格兰自 2020 年起以及在北爱尔兰自 2023 年起就已在 NHS 供应。NICE 在 2022 年拒绝将其引入英格兰，认为其性价比低。上周发生变化的是价格而非科学，因为专利已经到期。

马克斯医生开方…… Radio 4 上的“绝佳之选”

患者经常问我，他们在广告中看到的某些健康小工具或补充剂是否值得花钱——通常我不得不承认我不清楚。因此，我很高兴地看到格雷格·富特的精彩 Radio 4 系列节目在本月回归，专门评估这些产品。该节目邀请该领域的顶尖研究人员，以一种礼貌但毫不妥协的态度，审查听众建议的产品，以观察证据是否成立。这个节目值得任何人每周花一小时观看。它可以让你免于糟糕的购物决策。

《演化》(EVOLUTION)，晚上 9 点，BBC2

在第三集中，克里斯·帕克汉姆 (Chris Packham，见右图) 冒险进入了马来西亚婆罗洲惊人的戈曼通洞穴 (Gomantong Caves)。他在高耸的墙壁上开启手电筒，揭示了那里覆盖着成千上万只蝙蝠——他宣布这种生物是演化中最奇特的创造之一。当然，得益于覆盖在皮肤上的细长手指骨，它们是唯一能飞行的哺乳动物，并能通过超声波点击在黑暗中导航。但为了支撑它们在夜间盘旋飞行的巨大能量，蝙蝠的食欲也极其惊人，每晚要吞食掉超过其体重一半的微小昆虫。帕克汉姆揭示了它们进食需求的驱动力，故事始于超过 50 万年前产生复杂生命的埃迪卡拉纪 (Ediacaran period) 那平静的水下生态系统。食物的故事也是消化故事，进得去就得出得来。这比听起来要有趣得多。这部迷人系列的全部五集，涵盖了大象、鸵鸟、海豚和马的演化故事，现已在 BBC iPlayer 上线。

▲ 特别容易引起反感

这部反基督教的 BBC 阴谋剧毫无说服力且制作低劣

在最近一次人口普查中，英格兰和威尔士几乎一半的成年人表示他们认为自己是基督徒。

那么，BBC——作为我们的国家广播机构，理应反映并代表我们的国家——似乎将基督教视为反科学的偏见和原教旨主义的堡垒，这是多么令人谴责。

在《 Rapture》中，Sam Hazeldine 饰演一名圆滑且令人毛骨悚然的美国式福音传道者，他通过鼓励信众祈祷向“更高力量”并“在希望中团聚”来聚集追随者。

他的名字叫 Leonard Krall，我们知道他是个反派，因为他谈到了“所谓的气候危机”，并说：“他们想让我们陷入一个末日循环。我们不能仅仅享受阳光。显然，我们必须恐惧它。”

在 BBC 看来，没有比这更大的罪过了。Krall 有一个十几岁的女儿 Bethany (India Ria Amartejio)，由于显然是用螺丝刀杀害了她的母亲，目前在一家精神病院中。

Bethany 坚称自己无辜，但由于她的行为像个刻板、令人厌恶且傲慢的青少年，这并没有让她的生活变得更容易。

本周运气最差：

在气候变化纪录片《自然之力》(Force Of Nature, ITV) 中，两只猎豹冒着被淹的河流，尽管有饥饿的鳄鱼出没，仍活着通过。然而，其中一只随后直接冲进了一个致命的狮子伏击圈。有些日子，事情就是不顺利。

她还拥有关于未来的幻象，其中许多强调圣经中的哈米吉多顿（Armageddon）和末日。

她反复画的一幅画是基督，其半边脸被撕裂。果不其然，在一次异常风暴摧毁了俯瞰里斯本的 90英尺高耶稣像——基督之王圣殿 (Santuario de Cristo Rey) 之后，这一幕地实现了。

如果主角是一名穆斯林伊玛目，其患有精神疾病的女儿画出了受古兰经启发的噩梦般图像，Beeb（BBC 昵称）会制作类似的剧集吗？它会使用 CGI 来想象一座伊斯兰神圣纪念碑被摧毁的样子吗？

当然，这只是反问。否则街上会出现暴徒。

无论如何，没有经纪人会要求演员出演这样的电视节目。你能想象那个电话吗？“亲爱的，我想我在这个关于伊斯لام 的新电视节目中为你找到了一个绝佳的角色。嗯……对于在潜伏中度过余生，你怎么看？”

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

周末电视评论

The Rapture (BBC1) ★☆☆☆☆

幸运的是，对于《Rapture》的演员来说，制作低劣且毫无说服力的阴谋剧并不是亵渎神灵，尽管这部五集系列剧不会给任何人的简历增色。

Ruth Madeley 饰演 Gabrielle Fox 博士，一名临床心理学家，在一次导致丈夫死亡并使她成为截瘫患者的车祸后重返工作。Bethany 是她的病人之一，自然地，这位好医生决定亲自寻找新证据。

我不明白她为什么要费心——医院的安保如此松懈，以至于 Bethany 能够袭击 Gabrielle，偷走武器，随后在工作人员被手机分心时逃到院子里。

镜头间的衔接同样混乱。Iwan Rheon 饰演一名醉酒记者，在连续三个镜头中，被看到先后拿着一杯红酒、一本笔记本，然后又是一杯白葡萄酒。我将其归咎于全球变暖。

数字与点播电视精选

《狂怒》(FURIOUS)，DISNEY+

在这部阴郁且前卫的惊悚剧中，一名女性连环杀手正将目标对准男性，而新任 FBI 探员 Alice Black（艾米·罗瑟姆 饰，如图）似乎是唯一能抓住她的人。这就是《狂怒》的前提，其剧名暗示了驱动杀手的正义之怒。两位主演都非常出色——在美版《无耻之徒》中成名的罗瑟姆赋予了 Alice 一种潜藏的深度，而来自北爱尔兰的 Lola Petticrew（《Trespasses》、《Say Nothing》）在饰演被追踪杀手的那个更张扬的角色时，展现了足以角逐奖项的演技。编剧

Elizabeth Meriwether 拥有撰写关于迥异女性的强势电视剧集的历史，从由 Zooey Deschanel 主演的轻快情景喜剧《New Girl》，到讲述公司诈骗犯 Elizabeth Holmes 的《辍学者》 (The Dropout)，以及由 Gabrielle Williams 主演的、讲述女性在癌症诊断后重新发现生活的《渴望性爱》 (Dying For Sex)。《狂怒》感觉是她履历中另一个有趣的记录。对于一个猫鼠游戏的故事来说，八集可能显得太多，但凭借镜头内外这样的才华，它可能会成为一次极具成瘾性的旅程。

电影 喜剧 剧情片

《伟大的埃莉诺》(Eleanor The Great)，下午2点，Sky Premiere

斯嘉丽·约翰逊被低估的导演处女作，迷人且动人，由年逾九旬的 June Squibb（如图）通过经常令人捧腹的表演支撑全剧。她饰演埃莉诺，一名 94 岁的犹太寡妇，在好友贝西去世后，从佛罗里达搬到曼哈顿与女儿（Jessica Hecht 饰）同住。当她在尝试适应社交生活时，不小心加入了一个大屠杀幸存者小组，最终她开始将贝西的大屠杀经历当作自己的经历来分享。这为她开辟了一条艰辛且紧张的道路——而对于故事来说，导航这条路同样困难。

体育 喜剧

《丁克》(The Dink)，Apple TV

过气的网球神童 Dusty Boyd（Jake Johnson 饰）每天在他父亲的乡村俱乐部指导那些不懂感恩的孩子。但这还不是他跌入深渊的全部——一次受伤意味着他被迫以康复之名，去打匹克球 (pickleball)。

自然地，Dusty 认为自己会擅长这项运动——但他很快就被那些玩这项游戏的年长女性（包括他的新搭档 Mary Sheenburgen）给狠狠地教训了一顿，场面十分滑稽。记得留意网球传奇 Andy Roddick 和 John McEnroe 的有趣客串。

CLASSIC CARS

安特·安斯特德 (Ant Anstead)：天生机械师，9pm, Quest

他父母农舍的装修费用一定很高，因为这位机械师回到了这部系列剧中，通过修复车辆为该项目筹集资金。他从一辆 1960 年的奥斯汀 Wesley Frogeye Sprite 开始，这辆车不仅有点锈迹。

白羊座 3 月 21 日 - 4 月 20 日 冰水游泳者会告诉你，最糟糕的部分是进入水中的那一刻。恐惧持续的时间远比冲击本身要长，在水边徘徊只会延长不适感。你一直在犹豫不决的事情今天也需要同样的对待。一段对话已经经过了足够的演练。一份承诺现在已经准备好兑现。你不需要感觉到准备好了。让你感到不舒服的事情会比你想象中消失得更快。生活的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0301*

金牛座 4月 21 - 5月 21 没有人真正喜欢打开账单，但我们把它们搁在旁边的时间越长，焦虑感就越强。有哪些事情是因为你想象它太糟糕而一直在逃避？哪些问题让你觉得太沉重而不敢询问？有时，你所恐惧的事物之所以能产生巨大的威力，仅仅是因为你还没有在光天化日之下正视它。今天拿出勇气面对此类事情将带来解脱。生命的奥秘不必成为谜团。让你的星座运势为你提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0302*

双子座 5月 22 - 6月 22 让误解得不到纠正并不等同于撒谎。但它可能产生同样的效果。重新挂正他人墙上每一幅歪掉的画或许不是你的责任，但有时指出你所注意到的问题才是高尚之举。你圈子里的某个人已经误解了某事一段时间了。今天提供了一个自然的机会来澄清事实。生命的奥秘不必成为谜团。让你的星座运势为你提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0303*

巨蟹座 6月 23 - 7月 23 为了保护受影响的人而对某项决定保持沉默，可能感觉像是某种善良。但秘密总有泄露的时候。选择现在分享某些事情可能会让你感到脆弱，但说出你的真实感受能换来诚实的响应。亲密与连接源于理解，但首先需要进行坦诚的讨论或披露

我们大多数人都非常擅长管理事情呈现出的样子。我们倾向于根据他人可能的看法，过度思考自己的言行。为了维持现状，我们觉得有社会责任将某些情感掩盖起来。今天，太阳在狮子座与冥王星相对，任何被压在表面之下的事物都将走向光明。显露出的东西将具有揭示性。一个出人意料的、选择更真实地沟通的勇敢决定，将带来一个强而有力且令人释然的节奏转变。

今天。你知道谁可以信任，能与你一起处理此事。生活的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0304*

狮子座 7月 24 - 8月 23 反馈是一份极少用漂亮蝴蝶结包装而来的礼物。今天，你身边的人可能会为你举起一面镜子，而镜像中的样子可能会让你措手不及。在为自己辩护之前，请考虑对方所说的是否真的是在攻击你的为人——或者这只是对方让你知道你在他人眼中是什么样子的一种方式。当你看到这些信息如何帮助你前行时，被看穿的刺痛感会迅速消退。生活的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0305*

处女座 8月 24 - 9月 23 电池电量低的烟雾报警器似乎总是在凌晨三点开始发出啾啾声。你生活中的某些事情已经暗示一段时间了，它需要被解决。你必须做出选择：是现在处理，还是再次推迟。不要把暂时的沉默误认为事情已经好转。今天妥善处理某个问题可能需要你寻求帮助——但现在关注此事将是值得的。生活的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0306*

天秤座 9月 24 - 10月 23 船只并非通过所有人都完美地坐稳来保持稳定。它们是通过在环境变化时转移重量来保持稳定的。你生活中的一项安排已经变得失衡。一个人承担得更多，而另一个人并未察觉。引起对方对该事的关注可能感觉像是在颠簸船只，但沉默才是真正导致翻船的原因。今天请诚实对待已经发生的变化。另一个人可能会感到宽慰。生活的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0307*

天蝎座 10月 24 - 11月 22 委托进行结构调查并不有趣。一旦地板被撬开，就无法无视其下方隐藏的东西。但一座房子不能通过无知来变得稳固。你一直害怕检查的某些东西今天已准备好接受检查。你发现的情况很可能比你的恐惧所暗示的更容易修复。仔细观察你所面对的情况，抵制将事情灾难化的冲动。生活的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0308*

射手座 11月 23 - 12月 21 改变主意足够简单。但大声承认自己犯了错误则是另一回事，尤其是当你曾经坚定地主张相反观点时。在你的世界里，某个立场你已不再持有，但人们仍然将你与之联系在一起。今天，更新记录的勇气将获得回报。忍受片刻的低头认错所付出的代价是很小的。值得留住的人会更加尊重诚实，而非一致性。生活的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0309*

摩羯座 12月 22 - 1月 20 人们总是关注对失败的恐惧，但对成功的恐惧同样真实。有哪些邀约一直没有回应？你是否在寻找那些想象中的缺陷而审视某些机会？如果有人向你寄予更高的期望，犹豫并不意味着你不适合这个角色。这意味着你明白该角色需要什么，而这恰恰是你被选中被要求的原因。找一个了解你的能力而非你的顾虑的人聊聊吧。生命的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势为你提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0310*

水瓶座 1月 21 - 2月 19 “发动机房”（幕后执行层）非常适合某些人。工作至关重要，系统高效运转，且没有人期待实时解说。但当事情出错时，就需要一个解释。只有在基层的人才能给出解释。当你晋升到更高层级时，你信任谁来维持事情的运转？没有人比你更了解你改进了什么。你独特的专业知识并不总是容易被转化为他人能懂的语言，但现在付出努力是值得的。生命的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势为你提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0311*

双鱼座 2月 20 - 3月 20 为自己的工作定价很难。敏感让你能够出色地洞察他人的需求，但在向他们开具发票时却表现糟糕。今天，有人可能会询问你的收费标准或你的要求，而你的回答不需要带有道歉。贬低自己的价值并不会让你变得更善良。它只会让人们习惯于低价。你不需要追逐那些无法接受你所需条款的人。生命的奥秘不必成为谜题。让你的星座运势为你提供答案——请致电 0965 789 0312*

将您的树篱修剪至完美

Gtech 无绳树篱修剪机 HT50

每 2 周轻轻修剪一次树篱会使其更加茂密并赋予其极佳的质感，但沉重的修剪机、电缆和梯子让修剪树篱成为一些人讨厌的工作。Gtech 的无绳 HT50 让修剪树篱成为一种享受。

无绳便捷

拥有 60 分钟的运行时间*，您可以自由地在花园中移动，无需受电缆束缚，也不必担心肮脏的汽油。HT50 树篱修剪机由高扭矩 18V 电机驱动，在需要时直接提供动力。轻便且超强的驱动系统旨在实现精细和安静运行，但不要被它骗了——精密激光切割刀片可轻松切断厚达 25mm 的树枝。

触及更广 (Long Reach)

Gtech HT50 绿篱修剪机配备可调节机头，旋转角度达 135°，让您能完全掌控绿篱的修剪方向。机头可向下调节，方便您轻松修剪绿篱顶部；也可向上调节，让您在修剪多刺绿篱时无需担心手臂被刮伤。使用 50 厘米长的刀片，沿着高达 10 英尺的绿篱顶部平整修剪，保持绿篱整洁。精密刀片可强力穿透叶片，留下切口平整、健康的茎干，从而萌发出美丽且纹理丰富的绿篱。

完美平衡 (Perfectly Balanced)

重量仅为 2.94kg，并配有背带，您可以在花园中自由移动，而不会感到沉重。HT50 具有良好的平衡感，为您提供更愉悦的园艺体验，无需担心重量问题。

安全至上 (Safety First)

为了防止任何意外启动，HT50 绿篱修剪机配备了一个易于使用的安全开关。操作时，只需在握住单手电源触发器的同时，按下手柄侧面的安全开关即可。操作简单，比以往任何时候都更安全。

限时特惠价

原价 £274.98

这样好多了！ (THAT'S MUCH BETTER!)

切割效果好，重量轻，易于使用。令人惊喜。重量是我的首要考虑因素，但它的性能也非常好。修剪绿篱和成熟的冬青顶型植物都没有问题。

Terry B

创始人及 Gtech 所有者 Nick Grey...

“我们在设计 HT50 时采用了更长的刀片，这样您一次可以修剪更大面积。这意味着您将减少工作时间，有更多时间享受您的花园——非常理想。”

■ 虽然我们无法逐一回复，但所有收到的信件都会被阅读和考虑。感谢您的来信。

任何人都可以成为“多缴税英雄”！ (Anyone can be an overpaying hero!)

读到 120 位极其富有的个人（包括 Gary Lineker）共同签署一封信，表示希望缴纳更多税款，这令人感到振奋。

尽管前 BBC 主持人 Lineker 在与 HMRC 关于应缴税额的长期法律纠纷中获得了庭外和解，但任何人都可以向英国政府提供自愿且无条件的捐赠。

这些毫无疑问心怀善意的超级富豪们所需要的，仅仅是向英国财政部发送一封简单的电子邮件，告知其缴更多税的意愿——而且，用共同签署人 Brian Eno 合写的一首歌的话来说，他们可以在这一天成为英雄。

STUART SWANN, Swadlincote, Derbys

嘲笑一群准备多缴税的富人是一种糟糕的表现。

难道我们应该崇拜那些想尽一切办法尽量少缴税的人吗？

J. GILMORE, Chelmsford, Essex

糟糕的说服者 (Poor persuader)

现在的说辞是，凯尔·斯塔默爵士是一位非常优秀的首相，但无法传达他的观点。

那么，所有那些由一名律师（其工作就是传达观点）代表的人，是否都应该要求退钱？

MICHAEL LYNCHEHAUN, Wallasey, Wirral

向北看 (Look North)

为什么我们纳税人被期待去资助一个“北方 10 号”，仅仅是为了满足安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 的傲慢与虚荣？

《每日邮报》披露，位于曼彻斯特市中心的指定地块尚未动工，预计直到 2032, 年才会投入运营，且成本之高令人“瞠目结舌”，其中还包括提供武装警察保护的费用。

本届议会的任期将在最迟 2029 年举行大选时结束。无法保证届时伯纳姆仍掌权，也无法保证工党能赢得下次大选。

据称，在此之前，伯纳姆以及据称为了促成“北方 10 号”运作而需要的 8,800 名公务员（每周工作一天），将依托曼彻斯特 Heron House 的办公室工作。

那么，将其作为“北方 10 号”的永久办公地点难道不更合理吗？

历任首相都能在唐宁街高效运作。那么，未来的任何一位首相想要每周在曼彻斯特度过一天的可能性有多大？

吉尔·卢奇 (JILL LOUCH)，东萨塞克斯郡，厄克菲尔德

据推测，“北方 10 号”已经过完整的成本核算，且不会比目前的安排更贵。将通过哪些削减开支来抵消该成本？

J. 莫蒂默 (J. MORTIMER)，白金汉郡，瓦顿

直击要点 (Straight to the POINT)

■ 才过了几天，现在看来这已经像一场车祸现场了。

马克·格林 (MARK GREEN)， 廷威郡，桑德兰

■ 别害羞，昆廷 (Quentin)。告诉我们你对埃德·米利班德 (Ed Miliband) 的真实看法。

菲利普·波尔斯 (PHILIP BOLES)，德比郡，贝尔珀

■ 看来，在梅克菲尔德 (Makerfield) 的走访中，并没有提到小船跨境和非法移民的问题。

保罗·塔斯克 (PAUL TASKER)， 廷威郡，赫本

■ 领取救济金的人肯定也能像其他人一样使用浇水壶。

波比·范斯通 (BOBBIE VANSTONE)， 德文郡，博德利萨尔特顿

■ 新首相就任，BBC 竟然没有质询时间 (Question Time)？

M. 桑德斯 (M. SAUNDERS)，怀特岛，湖区

合法车牌 (Valid plates)

我可以向马丁·怀尔德 (Martin Wild)（见读者来信）保证，只要符合严格的规定，3-D 和 4-D 车辆号牌完全合法。它们并非像他所认为的那样是“幽灵牌照”。

基思·桑特 (KEITH SANDT)， 汉普郡，洛克斯希思

毛发恐怖 (Hairy horror)

关于日本男性在工作中穿短裤且腿毛浓密导致女性反感的报道（见《每日邮报》），如果一个男人露出光滑的双腿，或者一个女人穿短裤露出腿毛，是否也会引起反对？

有些人太容易被冒犯了。我在一家华纳酒店 (Warner Hotel) 曾受到谴责，因为一名年轻男性工作人员声称我对他的胸毛感到反感，而我离开时衬衫顶部的两颗纽扣没扣。这很奇怪，因为我全身完全没毛。

丹尼尔·达西 (DANIEL DARCY)，威尔特郡，奥尔本

缅怀挚爱 (CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF A LOVED ONE)

图注：白天时的曼迪·柴尔兹 (Mandy Childs) 的配给地，以及插图中亮起夜灯的景象。

小小地块的快乐 (Joy of a little plot of pleasure)

弗雷德·雷德伍德 (FRED REDWOOD)（房产邮报）关于配给地的看法是对的——穿着破旧开衫的老人的形象需要更新。各年龄段的人都在照料我们的配给地，且每个地块都是独特的。有些人种蔬菜，有些人种花卉和水果。

我在三年前接手了我的地块，当时那里是一片荆棘荒原。我希望它既是一个配给地，也是一个花园——在辛勤耕耘数小时，完成种植、盆栽以及永远做不完的 101 项杂活后，我想放松一下，读本书，或者与路人聊天——这就是为什么我设置了小花园区域和灯光。我还种了夜果树，此外还有番茄、黄瓜、洋葱、豌豆、香草和花卉。

曼迪·柴尔兹 (MANDY CHILDS)， 伍斯特郡，查德斯利科比特

国王与王后

我注意到“北方之王” 在他的内阁中任命了六位 “北方王后”。

历史告诉我们，最后一位 拥有六个妻子的国王，最终 用各种方式把她们都给处理掉了。我拭目以待。

托尼·阿博特 (TONY ABBOTT)，汉普郡，尤利利 (Yuleley, Hants)

果断的决定

我想用每周节省的 86便士 电力增值税 (VAT) 去买一袋 烟熏培根味薯片。然后我意识到 这种口味会增加大气中的二氧化碳 (Co2) 含量， 所以我最好还是坚持买原味盐焗的。

迈克尔·克雷德兰 (MICHAEL CREDLAND)， 兰开夏郡，马丁 (Martin, Lancs)

好消息是，电费将暂时免收增值税。现在，伯纳姆先生，请告诉我们坏消息。

托尼·惠特利 (TONY WHEATLEY)， 西萨塞克斯郡，奥尔丁本 (Aldingbourne, W. Sussex)

以后再付

我对“全额资助”的看法 和安迪·伯纳姆一样。我们 准备进行一次环球航游，并购买 一辆豪华车、一座大房子和 一座加勒比海的别墅。等我中了彩票， 我就付钱。

D·哈勒姆 (D. HALLAM)，南约克郡，布朗普顿 (Brompton, S. Yorks)

板球之谜

我的伴侣走进来，问我在电视上 看什么。我回答道：“板球 100。”

“为什么叫 100？”她问。

我说：“每边有 100 个球。”

“太傻了，”她回答道，“肯定 应该是 200 才对。”我无言以对。

D·埃尔沃西 (D. ELWORTHY)，诺福克郡，希查姆 (Heacham, Norfolk)

别这么傻

是否有人觉得，一直称呼 安迪·伯纳姆为“睫毛 安迪”简直幼稚得令人难以置信？ 看在上帝的分上！

作为一名大曼彻斯特的居民， 我认为他是一位高效且有能力的市长， 尽管我自认为是一个保守党支持者。 而且作为一名北方人，我认为 关于平顶帽之类的言论是不必要的恐惧心理。

琳达·斯特里特 (LINDA STREET)， 兰开夏郡，阿什顿-安德-莱恩 (Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancs)

本周思考

让我们行走在主的光之中。

以赛亚书 2:5

读者辩论

为什么要提前释放危险囚犯？

改革党的罗伯特·詹里克 (ROBERT JENRICK) 表示： “接连几任保守党和工党的司法大臣 未能建造足够的监狱，导致我们陷入了 这场可怕的混乱。”

我们的破案率已经低得令人堪忧，警察 无法或不愿阻止商店盗窃、入室盗窃 和抢劫。如果我们把监狱里的 外国犯罪分子驱逐出境，并开始清理街道， 也许系统就能应对我们本土的底层败类。

卡罗尔·哈里斯 (CAROLE HARRIS)，多塞特郡，布里奇波特 (Bridport, Dorset)

安迪·伯纳姆 (ANDY BURNHAM) 表示，在他 审查提前释放计划期间，将暂停该计划。

政府的职责是确保有足够的监狱名额， 以容纳法院认为需要羁押的人员。

这些名额必须在法院认为必要的时长内 予以维持，而不是根据当时的 政府认为方便的时长。 提前释放计划简直是对正义的亵渎。

C·麦克唐纳 (C. MACDONALD)，莱斯特郡，博滕福德 (Bottenford, Leics)

监狱名额太少的原因是，在 14 年时间里， 保守党关闭了 20 多个旧监狱。 当工党在 2024 年接管时， 只有 100 个空床位。 监管服务在联合政府时期也部分私有化了， 那简直是一场灾难。

基思·安温 (KEITH UNWIN)，剑桥郡，巴希尔 (Bar Hill, Cambs)

有些囚犯不应被提前释放，我认为 我们欠安德鲁·哈珀警官及其遗孀 莉西一份巨大的情债。 那些导致他死亡的人甚至被考虑 提前释放，这简直太荒谬了。

大卫·塔克 (DAVID TUCKER)，德文郡，埃克斯茅斯 (Exmouth, Devon)

我们应该通过驱逐目前被关在监狱中的 10,737 名外国国民来腾出空间。

马丁·雷德伍德 (MARTIN REDWOOD)，格温特郡，纽因 (New Inn, Guent)

英国监狱中 12% 的囚犯是外国人。 在将危险人物释放到社区之前， 为什么不先让他们回国？

R·哈里斯 (R. HARRIS)，伦敦 SE9

显然，No. 10 部门（首相府）在安抚 哈珀警官遗孀方面动作有点慢。

特里·科茨 (TERRY COATES)，伯明翰

问题：既然埃隆·马斯克已被宣布为全球首位万亿富翁，那么第一位十亿富翁是谁？

继之前的回答之后，马里帝国的统治者曼萨·穆萨（Mansa Musa，约 1280-1337 年）被广泛认为是历史上最富有的人。据估计，他的财富按今日汇率计算在 300 到 400 billion 美元之间，这主要得益于马里的黄金和盐储备。然而，由于在他那个时代还没有“十亿富翁”的概念，目前还没有经过确认的历史计算能将他的财富直接与现代美元挂钩。

C. Varley，西约克郡

今日食谱：酱香担担风味面

带有姜味点缀的四川菜。分量：2-3 人份

原料

½-1 汤匙四川花椒，用研钵研磨成细末并烘焙

2 瓣大蒜，细磨成泥

10g 姜，细磨成泥

1 茶匙浅棕色软糖

一小撮肉桂粉

5 汤匙芝麻酱

2 汤匙浅色酱油

2 汤匙镇江香醋

½ 汤匙脆辣油

250g 干燥小麦面或鸡蛋面

250g 上海青或菜心 盐焗花生、香菜叶和腌姜，以及一份自选蛋白质配菜（可选）

做法

1 将花椒、大蒜、姜、糖和肉桂放入一个中型碗中，搅拌均匀。加入芝麻酱、酱油、醋和辣油。如果此时混合物比较浓稠，请不必担心——稍后会用水稀释。该混合酱料冷藏可保存最多一天。

2 将 2 升盐水烧开，将面条煮 3 分钟至刚好熟透。加入上海青，再煮 2-3 分钟直至稍微萎蔫。将两者沥干备用，保留 250-300ml 的煮面水。

3 将保留的煮面水少量多次地搅拌入酱汁中，直至呈现光泽状——酱汁在静置时会变稠。加入面条并充分翻拌。盛入碗中，顶部铺上上海青、花生、香菜和腌姜，如果愿意，可加上自选的蛋白质配菜。

无论您走到哪里都有效的警报手表

在英国，大约有 200 万老年人目前使用个人警报器，以便在跌倒时寻求帮助。

但拉绳和红色按钮仅在您在家时有效，而统计数据表明，48% 的跌倒发生在室外。

现在，一种低调且时尚的新型个人警报器正帮助人们在保持独立的同时保持活跃。

YourStride 警报器的外观和功能就像一款

该手表连接至英国移动网络，这意味着它在英国境内具有无限的覆盖范围

带有活动追踪器的智能手表，可追踪您的步数，测量心率甚至血压。

屏幕上有一个按钮，无论您在国家的哪个地方，都可以使用它来寻求帮助。

一位感激的用户 Gillian 表示，这块手表改变了她的生活。两年前她跌倒并导致髋部骨折，因此当地政府在她的家中安装了一个红色按钮式警报器。

“问题是，这个警报器只有在我屋里时才有效。如果我在花园里就没用，所以我感觉被困在室内——这让我觉得自己老了！”她说，“但这块手表让我找回了自由。”

“如果我在户外跌倒，只需按下手表上的一个按钮，接听电话的那些亲切的女士就会通知我指定的联系人或紧急服务部门。”

该手表连接至英国移动网络，这意味着它在英国境内具有无限的覆盖范围。

轻触按钮，您的位置将立即发送给监测团队（该团队 24/7 全天候待命），他们可以通过内置的扬声器和麦克风与您交谈。

这款时尚且低调的手表售价 £59.99，SOS 服务每月费用为 £17.99，YourStride 比大多数个人警报系统更便宜，这意味着您可以享受独立，并自信地知道无论走到哪里都有帮助在侧。欲了解更多信息，请访问 yourstride.com 或致电 0203 8685575

Quingo 最令人印象深刻的优势之一是它能够以一定角度安全地爬上和下来路缘石——而这正是传统的三轮和四轮代步车难以实现的功能。

结合出色的灵活性与舒适度，不难理解为什么成千上万的客户选择 Quingo 来帮助他们维持积极的生活方式。

感受差异的最佳方式就是亲自体验。

正因如此，Quingo 提供免费且无义务的居家演示服务。我们友好的助力设备专家将登门拜访，让您在打算使用的实际环境中尝试 Quingo，确保您找到符合需求的型号。

想找工作？算法说不...

就业焦虑在闷热的夏日空气中弥漫。无法找到工作的绝望感，不再仅限于像 Yosser Hughes 这样的人物——他是电视剧《Boys From The Blackstuff》中一名利物浦的铺路工。

他在 20 世纪 80 年代的英国发出的“给我份工作”的恳求引起了共鸣，根据 Andy Burnham 的说法，那是英国经济开始走下坡路的十年。

四十年后，在失去工作后生活崩塌的人，很有可能是一位曾经富裕且高成就的女性。

也许就像大都市时尚达人 Stacey Duguid 那样，她在本报上写了一篇令人心碎的文章，讲述她寻找工作时徒劳的挣扎。

她的经历引起了中年女性的共鸣，她们表示，由于年龄和性别“不对”，她们的简历被 AI 机器人无情地刷掉，从而在求职中受阻。

当然，算法反映并放大了人类的偏见。在 20 世纪 80 年代，重工业的衰落导致矿山、钢铁厂和工厂失去了数千个工作岗位，而这些工作主要由男性承担。

当时人们告诉我们，英国可以作为一个后制造业、服务业主导的经济体而繁荣，但今天的这一波失业潮很可能呈现出女性的面孔。

人工智能正在取代服务类岗位，目前的研究确实表明女性更为脆弱，因为她们通常占据的后勤、兼职和中级行政职位正是被取代的对象。

伦敦市公司 (City of London Corporation) 调查发现，在科技和金融服务领域工作的女性比其男性同行面临更高的被 AI 取代而失业的风险。中年职业女性并非唯一承受这种痛苦的人；男性也报告了年龄歧视。

尽管年轻人是 AI 原住民，但他们并非万事顺遂，因为有超过 100 万名 16 到 24 岁的人被归类为 NEET——即不在教育、就业或培训中。

现在的政治家没有一个人敢像诺曼·特比特 (Norman Tebbit) 在 80 年代那样，告诉失业者“骑上自行车去闯吧”（意指自力更生）。

但是，失业问题往往被框架为个体问题，需要人们自行解决。斯泰西·杜古伊德 (Stacey Duguid) 描述了在寻找工作挣扎时深感个人羞耻，即便她知道自己被卷入到远比自身强大的经济力量之中。在 1.7m 人失业且另有 9m 人处于经济非活跃状态的情况下，伯纳姆 (Burnham) 需要将就业置于其政府所有工作的核心位置。也许

他无法阻止全球范围内抢走工作的 AI 行进，但他可以选择解决那些堆积在雇主身上的成本。

我想知道部长们是否意识到了这些成本的全部影响。

他们应该倾听经营企业的人们的心声，例如 Wetherpoons 酒吧连锁店的创始人兼董事长蒂姆·马丁 (Tim Martin)，他表示自己每年面临 £60m 的额外就业成本，并在今年发出了四次盈利预警。

在德比郡经营 David Nieper 时尚公司的克里斯托弗·尼珀 (Christopher Nieper) 计算出，在过去十年中，在他工厂里雇佣一名 18 到 20 岁员工的成本上升了 100% 以上。对于 21 岁及以上的工人，账单上涨了 86%。

雇主无法无限期地承受这种痛苦。企业并非全都是邪恶资本主义的巢穴，理应被课税至破产。

优秀的公司创造就业，支持社区，并帮助打造让人们能够过上美好生活的场所。新成立的工党政府需要明白这一点。

联合利华将在 £33bn 美国交易后更新情况

联合利华 (UNILEVER) 的老板将在本周公布公司半年报时，因其极具争议的战略而受到审视。

预计费尔南多·费尔南德斯 (Fernando Fernandez) 将向投资者更新他的计划，使这家拥有多夫 (Dove) 和 Tresemme 等知名品牌的消费品巨头专注于其美容和个人护理部门。

费尔南德斯因同意与美国香料巨头 McCormick 进行一项 £33bn 的交易而剥离其食品品牌（如 Marmite 和 Hellmann's）而遭到指责。

一些人认为这次结合对无法就此投票的联合利华投资者不公平。分析师表示，截至 6 月底的季度销售额预计将略低于 £11bn。

要求希利排除对养老金课税的呼声日益高涨

约翰·希利 (JOHN Healey) 在寻求筹集资金以支持工党 (Labour) 挥霍的支出计划之际，面临着排除对养老金进行“税务突袭”的日益增长的压力。

财政大臣正急于为增加国防支出寻找资金，同时还要为首相安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 的承诺买单，这些承诺涵盖从终结露宿街头到建设市政房屋等各项计划。

人们担心，两人正计划通过一波新的加税手段打击中产阶级——养老金正是目标之一。

两名前养老金事务大臣告诉《每日邮报》，希利现在就应该排除对退休金账户的课税，以停止在今年秋季预算案出台前，对其计划进行具有破坏性的揣测。

在此之前，储蓄与投资平台 AJ Bell 上周致信希利，呼吁他保证免税一次性提取款项及其他储蓄激励措施“在您的首次预算案中不会被更改”。

AJ Bell 首席执行官迈克尔·萨默斯吉尔 (Michael Summersgill) 表示：“这样的承诺将在揣测蔓延之前将其制止，并证明本届政府支持那些通过预留资金为未来财务做准备、采取正确行动的人。”

传闻前财政大臣瑞秋·里夫斯 (Rachel Reeves) 计划攻击免税一次性提取款项

作者：雨果·邓肯 (Hugo Duncan)

在她的预算案出台前，这些传闻造成了特别严重的破坏，导致储蓄者纷纷冲向退休金账户提取资金。

里夫斯最终决定不对该项进行更改，导致那些提前采取行动的人境况更糟。

养老金储蓄者从 55 岁起，可以免税提取其养老金储备最高 25%，最高限额为 £268,275。

曾在养老金咨询公司 LCP 担任合伙人的前养老金事务大臣史蒂夫·韦伯 (Steve Webb) 表示：“在有

“在揣测扩散前将其制止”

新任首相和新任财政大臣的情况下，我们可以预见，预算案之前的揣测会比平时更加狂热。

‘但如果这种揣测导致人们做出他们原本不会做出的财务决定（例如提前支取养老金账户），那么这种揣测将具有破坏性。

‘在上次预算案之前有明确的证据表明，人们因为担心一个从未实现的削减计划而匆忙从养老金中提取免税现金。

‘到目前为止，新任财政大臣为了财务稳定所能做的最好的事情，就是排除在本届议会剩余任期内修改养老金税收优惠的可能性。’

另一位前养老金事务大臣阿尔特曼男爵夫人 (Baroness Altmann) 表示：“财政大臣明确养老金的免税一次性提取款项将不被触动，这一点至关重要。

‘否则，越来越多处于 50 多岁和 60 多岁的人将提取他们的免税现金，从而减少养老金规模，并停止为他们的长期生活方式投资资金。’

随着希利急于筹集资金，高收入者可免税为养老金储蓄的金额也可能成为目标。

劳动者每年可向养老金账户免税储蓄最高 £60,000 —— 这相当于为基本税率纳税人提供 20% 的减税，为更高及附加所得税档位的纳税人提供 40% 或 45% 的减税。

随后，他们在晚年将这些钱作为收入提取时需缴纳税款。减少税收减免实际上意味着劳动者的收入被征税两次——一次是在存入养老金之前，另一次是在提取时。

人们担心此举会阻碍人们为退休生活进行储蓄。

英国自行车运动规模宏大且充满魔力……这就是为什么我从澳大利亚转投这里

独家专访

Nik Simon

在格拉斯哥

在澳大利亚的家族农场里，马特·理查森（Matt Richardson）将一辆 22 座的校车锁在其中一个马厩里。

“有一只猫头鹰住在车顶上——它杀死了所有的老鼠，防止它们啃断电线，”这位英格兰自行车运动员解释道，他是本周格拉斯哥比赛的金牌热门。

“这是一辆丰田 Coaster 巴士，简直就像一辆坦克。我几年前买它是为了把它改装成露营车，但还没顾得上。我把它放在棚子里以遮风挡雨。如果你好好保养，这种车据说能跑一百万公里。”

理查森并非一个常规的人物。因此，他在 2024 年奥运会获得三枚奖牌后，决定将效忠对象从澳大利亚改为英国，或许并不令人惊讶。

这位 27 岁的运动员出生在肯特郡的梅德韦尔，但 9 岁时因父亲在宜家（IKEA）获得职位晋升而移居澳大利亚。他为澳大利亚开创了令人瞩目的赛道职业生涯，在 2022 年联邦运动会上夺金，但他的双重国籍考验了他的忠诚度。

“我总是在追求更多，无论是健身房里更大的重量，赛道上更多的努力，还是为自己创造更多的机会，”他解释道。“职业生涯的时间有限，我天生就倾向于在现有的时间内挖掘每一个机会，无论是打造一辆

以便日后享受的露营车，还是移居他国以尝试将我的职业生涯最大化。我很容易感到厌倦，所以我总是在为自己设定新目标，让自己保持警觉，这是一种自我强加的挑战。”

“我们在世锦赛和世界杯中总是有挑战，但这还不够，我想要更多。奥运会每四年才一次，所以你希望每年都保持新鲜感。”

拥有一个威尔士女友——同为奥运奖牌得主的艾玛·菲努凯恩（Emma Finucane）——有助于理查森做出决定。菲努凯恩本周将身披威尔士战袍，随后他们将在 2028 年洛杉矶奥运会上共同出现在英国队的旗帜下。“英国自行车运动处于一个令人难以置信的地位，”理查森说。“澳大利亚自行车运动就像高中，而英国自行车运动就像霍格沃茨。它非常惊人，规模宏大，充满了魔力。我触手可及地拥有成为一名顶尖运动员所需的一切。这里资源更多，设备极其出色，而且不计成本。”

“我在这里骑的自行车好得多。它很快，很刚硬，具备了我打破世界纪录所需的一切。以前我们从阿德莱德前往比赛时，必须转多次航班。而欧洲的选手在同一天落地，完全没有时差。这类事情会产生巨大的影响。现在压力全在我身上。当然，能离女朋友近一些是一个额外的奖赏。我们住在曼彻斯特。那里比澳大利亚雨水多一点，但幸运的是，我从事的是室内运动。”

在一个追求微小增益的世界里，成效已经开始显现。理查森在去年 8 月成为首位在 200 米飞行圈突破 9 秒大关的骑手，并在 2 月份最终击败了他的荷兰宿敌哈里·拉夫雷森（Harrie Lavreysen）。

他能够向克里斯·霍伊爵士（Sir Chris Hoy）请教，甚至与一级方程式赛车世界冠军兰多·诺里斯（Lando Norris）交谈。

“与 F1 有一种共同的危险元素。我们有时在 80 公里/小时的速度下肩并肩赛车。你的血管中奔涌着大量的肾上腺素。”

不过，这次转换是有代价的。理查森让自己成为了澳大利亚阵营中的“头号公敌 1”。尽管改籍正变得越来越普遍，但他仍被贴上了“背叛者”和“叛徒”的标签。前澳大利亚队友莱格·霍夫曼（Leigh Hoffman）将成为他本周最强劲的对手之一。

“我知道事情不会总是那么顺利，”他说，“你不可能让每个人都满意。”

“在上一届英联邦运动会上为澳大利亚赢得了两枚金牌，我当时超级兴奋。我沉浸在那个时刻，并没有真正考虑下一届运动会。但如果有人能预见未来并告诉我：‘在下一届英联邦运动会上，你将代表英格兰出战。’我应该不会太惊讶。这一直是我想要做的事情。”

“在上一届奥运会前的一年，我在审视接下来的四年，思考那会是什么样子。如果要去做，现在就是时机。如果再等一次奥运会就太晚了。”

“人们的反应大概是我预料之中的。而且，事情发展的方式也正如我所料。从一开始就非常顺利。”

在新的支持团队助力下，理查德森（Richardson）正带着宏大的野心向前奋进。

“我的目标是在英联邦运动会和世界锦标赛上赢得金牌。我已经追求个人短距离冲刺世界冠军好几年了。我今年的状态足以实现这一目标，并且我想在进入洛杉矶（LA）之前尽可能地积蓄势能。”

兰姆塞-皮蒂：下一届奥运会将是我面临的最艰难的攀登

亚当·兰姆塞-皮蒂 (ADAM RAMSAY-PEATY) 表示，为了在 2028 年洛杉矶奥运会上重新获得奖牌竞争资格，他将面临职业生涯中最艰巨的挑战。这位 31 岁的选手在男子 100 米蛙泳决赛获得第三名后失声痛哭，他自 2015 年起就一直保持着世界纪录。这位英国标志性的游泳运动员将在今晚的 50 米项目中再次冲击金牌，他渴望证明时间并未将他抛在身后。“这很艰难，”兰姆塞-皮蒂说。“在过去的几年里，有很多因素在起作用——倦怠、脚部骨折，以及与你所热爱的事物作斗争。回到我现在的位置并决定冲击洛杉矶，我认为这将是我面临的最艰难的攀登和最严峻的考验。因为太难了，很难看到顶峰。我认为没人能理解。”兰姆塞-皮蒂的妻子霍莉 (Holly) —— 名厨戈登·拉姆塞 (Gordon Ramsay) 的女儿 —— 一直在格拉斯哥观看比赛。为人父改变了他的优先级，但他并不打算在下一届奥运会前退休。“有很多个人和职业方面的事情需要我整合起来，弄清楚什么是重要的，以及为了我的幸福和家人的幸福，长期目标是什么，”他说。“当你的世界纪录相差三秒时（他游了 59.65，而他的纪录是 56.88），我们必须问问哪里出了问题，因为那不是我的水平。我们需要审视它，分析数据，并询问是比赛节奏、体能还是其他方面出了问题。”在昨晚的半决赛后，他说：“我感觉好多了。过去的 24 小时像一场旋风。我想在体育运动中，重点并不总是关于被击败，因为那是不可避免的。而关键在于你需要花多少时间去面对它并扭转局面。我很开心，这为我进入决赛提供了极佳的轨迹。”

拳击 | 每日邮报体育 59

重大惊险：约书亚在 20 秒后被弗伦加击倒，并且（右图）在第一回合晚些时候触碰画布后再次面临读秒 盖蒂图片社 (GETTY IMAGES)

“我绝不接受那个！”

作者：迈克尔·帕维特 (MICHAEL PAVITT)

在英国选手安东尼·约书亚 (Anthony Joshua) 从两次击倒中恢复，并为与泰森·富里 (Tyson Fury) 的一场获利丰厚的对决铺平道路后，西蒙·乔丹 (SIMON Jordan) 对约书亚击败克里斯蒂安·弗伦加 (Kristian Frenga) 的性质提出了质疑。

在缺席七个月后重返赛场的约书亚，在周六晚上与弗伦加的第一回合比赛中似乎处于败北边缘。

这位阿尔巴尼亚选手在比赛开始仅 20 秒就用一个上勾拳将约书亚击倒。随后约书亚在该回合晚些时候又经历了一次击倒，让球迷担心与富里之间期待已久的对决面临风险。

然而，第二回合的情况有所不同，约书亚发起了一系列沉重的打击，将弗伦加逼向绳圈，随后挥出了一记击倒拳。

约书亚令人震惊的逆转，加上富里在 24 小时前击败马里乌什·瓦赫 (Mariusz Wach)，为这两位英国重量级选手最终在其中一场最...

乔丹质疑 AJ 的惊人逆转

在拳击历史上，这可能是潜在的巨额利润之战。但 talkSPORT 主持人乔丹对回合之间巨大的差异提出了质疑。

他表示有些事情“不太对劲”，似乎是在暗示约书亚（Joshua）对阵富里（Fury）这场比赛的酬金。

“这不对，”乔丹在社交媒体上发布道。“被击倒两次后居然掌控了节奏，这怎么可能？第二回合的弗伦加（Frenga）完全不同。有些事情不对劲，这一切都是为了榨取最大额度的金钱。”

这场比赛的击中统计揭示了两个回合之间的差异：约书亚在第一回合中仅 22 记出拳中击中了 5 次，而弗伦加在 32 记出拳中击中了 15 次。

然而，第二回合局势发生了反转，约书亚在 46 记出拳中击中了 13 次，而弗伦加则大幅下滑，在 17 次尝试中仅击中 3 次。

约书亚为自己的表现进行了辩护，他表示：“他给了我一个很好的考验，但这就是冠军的作为，我们崛起。我们被击倒然后站起来。这就是人生格言。”

“我想向弗伦加及其团队表示巨大的感谢，因为他们打了一场精彩的比赛。这对他们意义重大，对我来说也同样如此，这就是为什么你们在擂台上看到了那样的场面。”

“他是个强壮的家伙，我想埃迪（推广人希恩/Hearn）现在想签下他！他会表现出色，前途光明。他强壮且耐打。”

展望与富里的决战（合同已经签署），约书亚表示：“我是最狠、最凶猛的冠军。没人能阻止我。他不是奥列克桑德尔（乌西克/Usyk）。”

“这里有两个方面。一方面是战士，另一方面是尊重。我尊重他所做的一切以及他所取得的所有成就，但作为一名格斗者，我们现在就在这里。我希望粉丝们能享受到一场美妙的盛宴。”

约书亚向两名在 12 月车祸中丧生的好友致敬。西娜·加米（Sina Ghami）和拉蒂夫·“拉茨”·阿约德莱（Latif 'Latz' Ayodele）在尼日利亚拉各斯附近的一条道路上因车辆撞上卡车而去世。在约书亚于迈阿密击败杰克·保罗（Jake Paul）后，这对好友与他一同度假。当时也在车内的这位拳击手被送往医院，随后出院。

约书亚通过将好友的名字印在拳击裤上以此致敬。进入擂台时，他还穿着一件军装风格的夹克，上面有一排勋章条，展示了 IBF、IBO、WBA 和 WBO 的冠军头衔（他此前持有这些头衔），以及印有加米和阿约德莱名字的小旗。

他的角落画布上印有“Latz x Sina, My Brother's Keeper, MBK”。

希恩承认，在目睹了约书亚在首回合的挣扎后，他担心这位重量级拳手重返擂台的时间太早。

“没人能想象他在过去七个月里经历了什么。在第一回合时，我想我们回来得太早了，”希恩说。“是拳击支撑了他走过来。能站在擂台上就已经令人惊讶了。你不知道他经历了什么。”

“他必须再一次沉入深渊才能重新站起来，就像他在过去七个月里所做的那样。”

纽卡斯尔关注门将 Hornicek

纽卡斯尔已将目光转向布拉加体育的门将 Lukas Hornicek。这位 24 岁的捷克共和国国脚在转会窗早些时候曾是赫尔城一次失败报价的目标，而本菲卡此前也在进行询问。赫尔城甚至达到了他 £25.9 million 的解约金，但 Hornicek 拒绝了这次转会。纽卡斯尔现在加入了竞争，如果各方都希望推进，交易可能会迅速达成。

作者：SIMON JONES

Hornicek 在本周中回到了赛场，在欧协联资格赛中，他表现出色，帮助布拉加 1-0 击败了塞尔维亚球队 Zeleznikar Pancevo。纽卡斯尔此前一直在追求曼彻斯特城的 James Trafford，希望为首选门将 Nick Pope 寻找竞争者，但 Trafford 将以 £45m 转会至利兹联。在 Aaron Ramsdale 上赛季一年借用期满返回南安普顿后，纽卡斯尔在门将位置上显得捉襟见肘。埃迪·豪的俱乐部还与布莱顿门将 Carl Rushworth 进行了接触，但对其缺乏顶级联赛经验有所顾虑。Rushworth 仍然是考文垂的目标，他在上赛季被租借至该队期间表现成功，帮助“天空蓝军”赢得了冠军联赛冠军。到目前为止，对方提交的价值 £25m 的报价均被拒绝。

升级后的约克解雇主教练

约克城解雇了主教练 Stuart Maynard，而三个月前他才在缺席 10 年后带领俱乐部重返英格兰足球联赛。俱乐部的一份声明称，这“并非一个简单的决定”，做出该决定是因为“对足球俱乐部的发展方向和愿景存在分歧”。约克在 4 月份以戏剧性的方式赢得了国家联赛冠军，在下半场伤停补时第 13 分钟攻入扳平球，与冠军竞争对手罗奇代尔战平，而后者如果获胜本可以夺冠。

作者：DAVID KENT

这支“神职人员”球队在 2025 年 8 月用前诺茨郡老板 Maynard 替换了 Adam Hinshelwood 之后，以 108 分结束了赛季。声明继续写道：“我们意识到，从外部看，这可能是一个奇怪或难以理解的决定。但我们相信，从长远来看，俱乐部将因此处于更强大的位置，向我们作为俱乐部守护者所认为能够带来持续成功的愿景又迈进了一步。我们希望我们年复一年提高的记录能为我们赢得一定程度的信任，并且我们理解并非所有人都会立即同意或完全理解这个决定。” 约克将在下周一的卡拉宝杯初步轮次比赛中主场迎战克劳利。他们重返英甲第二组（League Two）的首场比赛将在 12 天后在约克社区体育场对阵布里斯托尔流浪者。

乔（戈梅斯）之忧意味着新后卫必须成为利物浦的首选

戈梅斯再次受伤，让伊劳拉早早地感到头疼

刘易斯·斯蒂尔 (LEWIS STEELE) 发自纳什维尔

关于利物浦和后卫，有两个“滑动门”时刻（关键转折点）。

去年夏天，签下马克·格希（Marc Guehi）的交易一度如此接近，以至于水晶宫的媒体团队已经制作好了一段准备在社交频道发布的告别视频，其中包含他举起英格兰足总杯的片段。

正如我们现在所知，格希在转会截止日最后一刻看到交易崩盘，水晶宫主席史蒂夫·帕里什（Steve Parish）最终叫停了这次转会。

随后在四月，伊布拉希马·孔纳特（Ibrahima Konate）表示他“接近”在利物浦续约。两个月后，他向安菲尔德挥手告别，紧随特伦特·亚历山大-阿诺德（Trent Alexander-Arnold）的脚步加盟皇家马德里。孔纳特是自由身离队。

现在距离利物浦安多尼·伊劳拉（Andoni Iraola）时代正式开启并客场挑战纽卡斯尔已不足四周——考虑到上周两家俱乐部共同的传奇人物凯文·基根（Kevin Keegan）去世，这将是一场充满情感的比赛。

在英超揭幕战之前，利物浦已经陷入后防危机。如果比赛在明天举行，他们唯一的资深选项将是维吉尔·范戴克（Virgil van Dijk）——而且由于在世界杯为荷兰队出战后获得了延长假期，他尚未开始季前训练。

效力多年的全能后卫乔·戈梅斯（Joe Gomez）在纳什维尔对阵桑德兰的季前首场友谊赛中突然受伤，加剧了后防之忧。在承认利物浦后防线“非常单薄”几天后，伊劳拉将其描述为“可能是最糟糕的消息”。

戈梅斯深受更衣室和球迷的喜爱，但残酷的事实是，你无法信任他的身体。根据 Transformat 的数据，自 2023-24 赛季开始以来，这已经是他第九次分别离场休战。

他在上赛季出战了 7 场联赛，

友谊赛 报告：戈梅斯 在 离场前 接受评估 盖蒂图片社 (GETTY IMAGES)

前一个赛季为 6 场。我们尚不清楚他这次受伤的严重程度，但无论是在场边休息两天还是两个月，情况已经很明朗了。

除了这两名资深后卫，利物浦还有两名被认为处于世界足球防御天赋顶尖行列的年轻人。但他们两人合计在英超的出场时间为零，且目前同样无法出战。

21 岁的杰雷米·雅凯（Jeremy Jacquet）是以 £10 million 的价格从雷恩（Rennes）加盟的，他目前身在美国但正受到谨慎管理。由于肩部问题，他在 2 月 7 日之后没有为这家法国俱乐部出场，因此在他比赛前，他被安排了延长的训练周期。在缺席与桑德兰的友谊赛后，据信他将在周三纽约市对阵雷克瑟姆（Wrexham）的比赛中采取同样做法，并计划在下周末芝加哥对阵利兹（Leeds）的比赛中迎来红军首秀。

乔瓦尼·莱奥尼（Giovanni Leoni）是另一个选项。这位 19 岁球员在去年此时从帕尔马（Parma）加盟，但由于在 9 月的联赛杯（Carabao Cup）首秀中十字韧带撕裂，他大部分时间都在养伤。

即使雅凯和莱奥尼回归，他们仍未经证明，理想情况应该是缓慢地适应。

但现实是，他们可能需要直接跳入深水区。

来自塞内加尔的莫·塔利亚·恩迪亚耶（Mor Talia Ndiaye）和奥地利的伊费安尼·恩杜克韦（Ifeanyi Ndukwe），both 18, have had to play in central defence here.

队长范戴克现年 35 岁，正进入合同的最后一年，29 岁的戈梅斯也是如此。突然之间，签下一名后卫成了利物浦的当务之急，与在右翼招募穆罕默德·萨拉赫（Mohamed Salah）的接班人同等重要。

由于雨果·埃基蒂克（Hugo Ekitike）因跟腱断裂长期缺席，而亚历山大·伊萨克（Alexander Isak）在加盟俱乐部的第一个赛季中因多种问题缺席了大部分时间，

红军在球场的那个区域看起来也极其单薄。

利物浦已回到芝加哥基地，弗洛里安·维尔茨（Florian Wirtz）、伊萨克和瑞安·格拉文贝赫（Ryan Gravenberch）已与球队汇合，他们在世界杯出战后错过了季前训练的第一阶段。

但如果伊劳拉（Iraola）不能在转会市场上再引入两到三名新援，那么他要让利物浦重现昔日辉煌将面临一场艰苦的斗争。

随着本周传出亚马逊亿万富翁杰夫·贝佐斯（Jeff Bezos）是一个财团成员、拟收购俱乐部价值 £1.35 billion 股份的消息，利物浦现在急需一名能够“次日达”的后卫。

齐耶萨决心在“新篇章”开启之际争取位置

来自后页

安多尼·伊劳拉的风格可以提供严重的进球威胁，尤其是在穆罕默德·萨拉赫离队之后。

阿森纳和拜仁慕尼黑也对巴尔科拉保持兴趣，而切尔西在今年夏天早些时候曾进行过询问。

枪手们正在探索从皇家马德里签下维尼修斯·儒尼尔的可能性，这笔交易将需要巨额投资。他们对马德里竞技的朱利安·阿尔瓦雷斯也保持着雄心勃勃的兴趣。然而，据了解，如果利物浦能与巴黎圣日耳曼达成协议，巴尔科拉希望能与利物浦进行谈话。

与此同时，利物浦前锋费德里科·齐耶萨表示他热爱这家俱乐部，并将本赛季视为一个“全新的开始”，此前他经历了两个大部分时间都坐在替补席上的沮丧赛季。这位意大利人在 2021 年随国家队赢得欧洲冠军赛时获得了高度评价，两年前他以 £10million 从尤文图斯加盟，但一直难以留下持久的印象。许多人预计齐耶萨（左）会在今年夏天离开——如果利物浦敲定巴尔科拉的交易，这种情况仍可能发生。

但齐耶萨在周六红军 4-2 击败桑德兰的纳什维尔比赛中打入了进球，他表示：“我在利物浦这里很开心。我热爱这个俱乐部，热爱球迷，热爱一切。我正在尽最大努力争取机会。我们拭目以待。目前，我唯一考虑的就是利物浦。我正努力为这位新主教练做出最好的表现。”“去年我觉得自己已经准备好承担更大的角色。我想更多地参加比赛。今年是一个新篇章。我必须专注于此。”齐耶萨上赛季在联赛中出场 26 次，但其中仅有一次是以首发身份出场，且体能问题依然存在。他补充道：“利物浦值得更好的表现。去年是一个艰难的赛季，这个赛季我们需要做得更好，在欧冠联赛中也要如此。”

KIERAN GILL 发自悉尼

杰米·吉滕斯并不在意他在切尔西现在面临来自摩根·罗杰斯的左翼竞争。后者是以 £117million 从阿斯顿维拉购入的，这是目前为止签下英格兰球员支付的最高金额。

相反，他将这次打破纪录的收购视为俱乐部重新夺冠的一步。

“我们想赢得一切——这就是我们的雄心，赢得英超联赛、足总杯，赢得我们参加的任何比赛，”吉滕斯在悉尼安联体育场场边接受《每日邮报体育》采访时表示。“引进像摩根这样的球员，希望能提高夺冠的门槛。”

吉滕斯很享受与同样来自曼彻斯特城青训营的校友罗杰斯之间的友好竞争。在采访期间，这位 21 岁的英格兰人在公开训练课上赢得了在场的 4,500 名切尔西球迷的巨大欢呼。

原因是有一个孩子闯入球场，试图获得埃斯特旺·威廉姆斯的签名。当安保人员将这名年轻人带回看台时，吉滕斯暂停了我们的对话，在球迷们的注视下为他签名，支持者们对他这一举动表示赞赏。

吉滕斯此前并没有听到太多切尔西球迷的欢呼。在以 £52m 从多特蒙德加盟后，他在俱乐部的第一个赛季在 1 月份因为腿筋受伤而被判定为失效。他渴望回归，且正如《每日邮报体育》披露的那样，他在上周于科巴姆训练基地的两场对阵克劳利和布罗姆利的闭门友谊赛中均打入了进球。

“我觉得自己恢复到了 92 per cent，”当被问及是否已经达到 100 时，吉滕斯说道。“我现在感觉好多了，更有信心，因为我的身体状况好转了，腿筋没问题，所以我正等待赛季开始。”

“我（在夏天）每天都在训练，在葡萄牙和马贝拉，为了准备赛季将自己训练到了极限。这很困难，因为这是我第一次遭遇肌肉损伤。我以前从未有过腿筋受伤。”

“刚开始是一个挑战，但现在我好多了，所以我觉得更加”

作者：LEWIS STEELE

桑德兰主帅雷吉斯·勒布里斯（Regis Le Bris）已就其队长格拉尼特·扎卡（Granit Xhaka）发出警告，要求外界不要染指，并告知切尔西不要考虑在这个夏天签下他。这位瑞士中场在“黑猫”上赛季重返英超联赛并获得欧洲赛事资格的过程中起到了关键作用——切尔西在这个夏天曾试图购买他。但勒布里斯主教练表示，扎卡离开的可能性为零。“不，这个话题已经结束了，”他说道。

罗杰斯将带领我们夺冠

杰米·吉滕斯谈论切尔西以 £117m 签下球员的喜悦，以及他在经历伤病问题后对强劲赛季的希望

自信。对我来说这很艰难，但我现在在这里，希望我能回归并告诉自己，我在那种情况下表现得很出色。

吉滕斯对即将到来的赛季有自己的目标。他将这些目标写在家里的一张纸上。当被问及地时，他不愿透露，但补充道：“这是一个如此巨大的俱乐部。我想在这里获得成功。我需要向人们展示我的能力。我会继续努力工作。我想说，我已经展现出了一些苗头。但这个赛季将会是一个好的赛季。”

在切尔西于悉尼进行的训练课中，练习的项目包括从左侧和右侧传中。从左翼，吉滕斯、科尔·帕尔默和青训毕业生兰登·埃门西奥将球 whipped 传向禁区。从右翼则是：埃斯特旺、马可·帕莱斯特拉和亚伦·安塞尔米诺，随后后者由来自科本（Cobham）的代表雷吉·沃尔什替换。

很快，切尔西将拥有一位新的定位球专家奥斯汀·麦克菲来监督此类训练。与罗杰斯一样，他即将从阿斯顿维拉加盟；而《每日邮报》体育版（Daily Mail Sport）披露，贝尔纳多·库埃瓦将转岗至切尔西的幕后管理角色，远离赛场。蓝军拥有友谊赛

Le Bris告诉蓝军：不要动Xhaka，他哪儿也不去

当被问及Xhaka时，这位法国人表示：“他对他未来的打算非常明确。他热爱桑德兰，他想留在桑德兰。他想参与创造桑德兰的未来。他是一个优秀的队长，一个伟大的领导者。”去年此时，桑德兰在升级后为了翻新阵容签下了14名球员，但Le Bris此次告诉球迷们要保持耐心。他们目前仅完成了一次签约，通过自由转会从里尔签入了经验丰富的边后卫Thomas Meunier。Le Bris补充道：“这次会比较低调。在雷达监测范围之外，对吧？”

因为我认为我们在幕后正努力工作，保持低调非常重要，否则会一团糟。“而且，如果你与上赛季相比，可能会发现这次的转会窗口截然不同。那时我们必须签入14名新球员。今年不会是那样的情况。我们将拭目以待。”Lutsharel Geertruida已经确认在上赛季租借结束后不会返回桑德兰。这位26岁的荷兰后卫在夏季转会窗后期通过赛季长协议从RB莱比锡加盟，在各项赛事中出场30次。此前曾有关于永久转会的讨论，但Geertruida将留在其母公司俱乐部。

在前往亚洲巡回赛之前，球队在悉尼对阵西悉尼游击者队和热刺队。主教练Xabi Alonso极其深入地参与这里的训练，在设置球员演习时，经常通过示范来展示什么叫作“阶级永恒”。

“他希望我保持积极，继续挑战球员，继续创造机会，并继续将自己逼到极限，”Gittens在谈到来自Alonso的指令时说道。“他是个非常nice的人。他会单独地跟我们谈论我们可以改进的地方。作为一名球员，这就是你想要的全部。”

“上赛季同样是4-3-3阵型，配备两名边锋，这总是很不错，所以让我们看看吧。作为一支球队，我们的质量肯定在，而且场上有些球员能够创造惊人的表现。”

Alejandro Garnacho在从曼彻斯特联以£40m身价加盟切尔西后，由于在左翼未能给人留下深刻印象，在切尔西度过了一个赛季后被租借至Villa。相比于饱受伤病困扰的Gittens，Garnacho获得的宽容度较低。

“说实话，我只关注我自己，”这位留在切尔西的球员在被问到Garnacho离队时表示。“我不看任何人。我只专注于自己，努力变得更好。”

Gittens在多特蒙德期间曾与Alonso的勒沃库森队交手。他知道这位44岁的西班牙人是一名多么优秀的战术家。现在他希望在切尔西在他的指导下脱颖而出，并在球队中赢得一席之地，即便竞争对手是身价£117m的签约球员Rogers。

每日邮报，周一，2026年7月27日

开局戏剧性：Norris在进入第一个弯道前领先于Piastri，但在下一个弯道跑宽，导致队友将其超越。

JONATHAN McEVOY 发自匈牙利环赛道

幸运，太幸运了，Lando。尽管世界冠军Norris在匈牙利大奖赛中经常是最快的猎犬，且本应凭借个人能力获胜。

但他首先得到了帮助，是因为他的麦拉伦队友Oscar Piastri遭遇了一起离奇事件，这给了他获得胜利的机会——这是他的杆位成绩所应得的，而他糟糕的开局圈，抱歉，并没有。

Norris胜利进程中两个关键时刻的第一个发生在第38圈，当时已经进行第二次进站的Piastri正试图重新夺回领先地位。威廉姆斯的Carlos Sainz——本剧的反派——正与Fernando Alonso争夺第15名，且挡在路中间。

由于沉浸在冲突中，Sainz完全没有意识到Piastri正准备套圈。此时应出蓝旗。这位西班牙人本应让路。但他没有。

Piastri愤怒地大喊：“给我滚开，你这个白痴。”两车发生了轮胎碰撞。“我的天呐！”

显然，所有这些混乱都延误了皮亚斯特里，而诺里斯则在趁机大获全胜。在下一圈结束诺里斯被召回进站后，

Lando 运气爆发打破零封，而 Piastri 则陷入车阵

他出现在另一辆橙色赛车前方。任务完成。

Piastri 愤怒不已。显然是对 Sainz。但同时，看来他也对他的 McLaren 车队感到愤怒，因为车队在他在停站后，允许 Norris 在七圈内自由地扩大领先优势。

Piastri 的比赛工程师 Tom Stallard 通过无线电试图安抚他，说道：“Oscar，是 Sainz 让我们付出了代价。目标是用这套轮胎跑到最后。”

Piastri 回应道：“噢，伙计，现在别跟我说话。顺便说一句，你们能把那个（车阵）因素考虑进去真是太‘贴心’了，谢谢。”

如果他认为车队倾向于 Norris——他们亲手培养的冠军——而非他，那么这次反转恐怕很难让他心安。

对 Norris 有利的第二次也是最后一次运气出现在 Piastri 身上，原本看来稳拿第二名的 Piastri 遭遇了变速箱故障，在第 56 圈（共 70 圈）时比赛结束。

就这样，Norris 毫无压力地夺得了他卫冕冠军赛期的首胜，事实上也是自去年 11 月圣保罗大奖赛以来的首胜。

随后，在虚拟安全车（VSC）出动后，更多的戏剧性情节上演。对于 Lewis Hamilton 来说，这个周末本应充满机遇，结果却渐成乱局，他在排名上接替了退赛的 Piastri。

但这并未持久。Norris 进入维修区更换新胎，Hamilton 也是如此。Norris 没问题，重新回到领先位置。但 Hamilton 离开维修区时与第三名的 Kimi Antonelli 基本持平，尽管这位七届世界冠军在进入和离开第一个弯道时将自己推到了这位意大利车手之前，但这并不合规。

他在维修区超速了吗？他因涉嫌违规被调查，并在几分钟后被处以 5 秒的处罚。“他们发处罚简直像疯了一样，”Hamilton 说道，尽管他后来缓解了对赛会主管的批评。

他此前已被维修区墙的人告知将位置还给 Antonelli，但结果并非如此：是的，Norris 首先冲过终点线，Max Verstappen 第二（因为他在 VSC 期间没有停站），Antonelli 第三。但 Hamilton 的处罚使他掉到了队友 Charles Leclerc 之后，最终排名第五。

这对 Hamilton 来说真是令人头疼，他在周六因在排位赛中无意中阻挡 Piastri 而被降级三个名次，最终的完赛位置竟然和他起跑的位置一样。

他原本可以在澳大利亚车手退赛前将 Antonelli 的冠军领先优势缩小 6 分，结果现在反而落后了 5 分。在进入赛车的夏季假期前，他落后 Antonelli 50 分。

一个想法：为什么 Ferrari 没有让 Leclerc 减速？他们难道不想赢得车手冠军吗？

当天排名第七的 George Russell 现在落后 59 分，比他的起跑位置低了 9 分。对于这位英国人来说这并不理想，但考虑到起跑时他的 Mercedes 触发了防熄火装置导致其他赛车在身边飞驰而过，这并非最坏的结果。

他在第一圈结束时掉到了第 19 位，但凭借排位赛后更换的新发动机，他穿过了中游车阵。

“我现在已经过了失望的阶段了，”Russell 带着无奈的微笑说道。“如果我继续对发生的一切感到失望，那么我每天都会失望。我的速度和场上的任何人一样强，过去两三场比赛我没有达到这个状态，所以我会从中看到积极的一面。”

苦乐参半：Norris 率先冲线获得本赛季首胜，而 Hamilton（右）因在维修区超速被处以 5 秒处罚（下方）——处罚执行后他的排名掉至第五。

GETTY IMAGES / SHUTTERSTOCK / REUTERS

“但本赛季出错的事情之多简直令人难以置信。我当时正踩着油门保持转速，但在灯灭前四秒，发动机开始到处乱转——发动机对油门的反应失效了。这是一个全新的发动机。我完全不知道原因。”

几乎没有什么值得回味的超车，不过维斯塔潘在第一个弯道对汉密尔顿进行了一次精彩的超越——该弯道是以内尔森·皮奎特命名的，他是维斯塔潘长期伴侣凯莉的父亲。他出其不意地击败了这位英国车手，这是典型的“马克斯式”抢攻。

皮亚斯特里无需展现如此高超的技艺，因为诺里斯的一个老习惯再次成为了他的噩梦，即他在首圈的弱点，这多次使他在拥有极佳起跑位置的情况下失去了获胜机会，尤其是在 2024 年，那时他在夺冠一年前曾有机会争夺冠军。

诺里斯在杆位的起步非常出色，掌控了第一个弯道。但在名为汉密尔顿的第二个弯道，他跑宽了，皮亚斯特里趁机夺得领先。

诺里斯比他的队友速度更快并对他步步紧逼，但皮亚斯特里一直保持在赛道领先位置，直到他的下午局势崩盘。

诺里斯最终绝尘而去，领先 15 秒且将其甩在视线之外。在这次凭借毅力、速度以及好运赢得的令人愉悦的胜利后，这位冠军的脸上终于恢复了笑容。

东家 (East)

▲ Q 7

◆ 3 9 4

▲ A 7 6 4 3

在竞技组 (PLAYING teams) 中，北家开叫 2♦，这是一个弱两叫的方块。东家传递，南家叫 2♠，这是一个建设性但非强迫性的叫法。持有西家牌组时，你应该怎么叫？

你手中有一手好牌和一个极佳的花色，因此尽管你进入拍卖的等级很高，但你应该叫 3♥。北家竞争到 3♠，东家将你提升至 4♥，拍卖结束。

北家出 ♠3 到南家的 ♠K。南家此时出 ♠A，然后转而出 ♦3。你如何规划打法？

从叫牌中你可以看出，这次转牌显然是单张，因此你必须用 ♦A 赢回。你需要能够建立至少一个长梅花赢墩并能够触达该墩，以便处理掉一个输掉的方块墩。首先，你需要将牌心花色分布在有利的局面——要么是 2-2 平分，要么是单张 ♥Q 掉落。

先出一张最高心的牌，两名防守方均出小牌跟进。现在你需要他们分牌，因此你再出一张最高心的牌，北家的 ♥Q 掉落。接下来怎么做？

本局明日继续。

Margot slips out to the shops in Paris in her lace-trimmed lingerie

By Laura Craik Fashion Critic

AFTER spending almost a year dutifully wearing corsets during the filming – and promotion – of Wuthering Heights, Margot Robbie would be forgiven for never wanting to set eyes on an item of lingerie again.

Instead, it appears that the 36-year-old Australian actress has developed rather a taste for it – so much so that she's wearing it not just at bedtime, but during the day.

Shopping in Paris with her 69-year-old mother Sarie Kessler at the weekend, the Barbie star kept the city's 28C heat at bay by wearing a lace-trimmed silk camisole top and matching mini skirt in fashionable lemon.

The 'Loure' top, £310, and 'Giulietta' skirt, £330, are by Doen, a cult brand launched in 2016 by two Californian sisters. High-profile fans include Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner and Bella Hadid.

And Ms Robbie is far from alone in her enthusiasm for wearing underwear as outerwear this summer.

If you have yet to take your summer holiday or set foot in an airport, don't be surprised if, upon boarding your flight,

'Not a look for the faint-hearted'

some of the female travellers look as though they're off to a pyjama party.

Improbable as it may seem to those who prefer their clothes to look like clothes rather than lingerie, satin shorts, slip dresses, silky cami-tops and lace-trimmed pyjama pants are among this season's biggest trends. If you are scratching your head at how it came to pass that items more commonly worn in the bedroom have made their way on to the beach – not to mention your local shopping centre, supermarket or cafe – blame Anthony Vaccarello, creative director of Yves Saint Laurent.

Ever since dressing actress Zoe Kravitz, influencer Hailey Bieber and Grammy-winning singer Charli XCX in tiny lace-trimmed cami-shorts when they attended the Saint Laurent show in Paris last autumn, the trend has slowly been gaining momentum. While few might be willing to spend an eye-watering £2,040 on the label's crepe silk iterations, where Saint Laurent leads, the High Street follows.

Which is why there's currently a glut of affordable silky, lacy lookalikes on sale in stores including Zara, H&M and M&S, in cheerful pastel colours such as lemon, pistachio and candyfloss

pink. Yet clearly, this is not a look for the faint-hearted.

While it's prescriptive to put an upper age limit on any trend, those whose undie drawers lean more towards support pants and shapewear than satin shorts may want to sit this one out.

Alternatively, you could nod to the look by teeming a lace-trimmed

cami-top with jeans and a blazer, or team a knee-length slip skirt with a cotton T-shirt.

There are other ways to keep cool than by wearing your lingerie to lunch, of course. But with the mercury set to rise again in the UK this week, this is one trend that's guaranteed to last well past bedtime.

Guides get new uniform to boost 'inclusiveness'

GIRL Guides are getting their first major uniform redesign in 36 years, with a more casual dress code to boost 'inclusiveness'.

From today, a branded top will replace the full outfit, allowing Guides, Brownies and Rainbows to team it with their own clothes.

The tops focus on 'affordability and eco-friendliness', with the move 'all about providing girls with freedom to express them-

selves'. They must wear a branded t-shirt, long-sleeve top or hoodie, with optional branded items including shorts, gilets and caps.

Girlguiding was last year forced to U-turn on its decision to allow male-born transgender members to join, following a legal challenge from a parent.

By David Churchill

HUNDREDS more small boat migrants arrived during Andy Burnham's first week as Prime Minister than in Sir Keir's, it emerged last night.

Another 240 migrants landed in Kent after illegally crossing the Channel over the weekend, meaning at least 881 have got into the UK during Mr Burnham's first seven days as PM.

By contrast, in the seven days from July 3, 2024, Sir Keir's first day in the job, there were 546 arrivals.

Mr Burnham's record is also much worse than former Tory Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who counted just 35 during his first seven days in the job in July 2019.

The figures pile pressure on Mr Burnham to break his silence over immigration, having failed to set out his plans during several public appearances. This is despite the issue topping voters' concerns in repeated polls.

He has so far made unfunded commitments to lower household energy bills and cap bus

fares, and has unveiled his No 10 North hub - branded a gimmick by critics.

The PM is also planning speeches this week on an overhaul of the social care system, youth unemployment and greater devolution powers.

But the public remains in the dark about his plans to secure Britain's borders.

Meanwhile, it has emerged that migrants are suspected of having fled to Britain on a boat last week after stabbing a young man to death on a French beach.

An unidentified body was found on Terminus Beach in the seaside resort of Berck-sur-Mer on Thursday, the same day a 'mega-dinghy' carrying a record 165 migrants crossed the Channel (see box above). A French investigation source told The Sun on Sunday: 'There was a fierce argument and

Laden: The boat, crammed with 165 migrants, crossing the Channel on the way to Dover

A TEENAGER has been charged with allegedly piloting a record 165 migrants in a single vessel from France to England in a 'mega-dinghy'.

Chan Mathok Atak, 19, is accused of endangering others during a journey by sea last Thursday, the National Crime Agency said.

The dinghy was 42ft (13m) long - the same as a standard bus. Atak, from South Sudan, has been

remanded in custody and is due to appear at Margate Magistrates' Court today. Prior to last week's crossing the most migrants on a single boat was 128, recorded earlier this month.

Refugee charity Care4Calais said crossings are becoming 'more and more dangerous' as increasing numbers of migrants are crammed on to each vessel.

fighting. A young man was stabbed by at least one attacker... it is believed those responsible got on a boat and escaped to England.

It also emerged last week that Iran has been attempting to infiltrate Britain by sending suspected intelligence agents on boats across the Channel.

Reform UK's home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf said: 'Andy Burnham has spent all his time

making a second home for himself in Manchester at taxpayer expense, while the invasion of Britain continues. Over 200,000 illegal migrants have arrived by boat (since 2018) and he did not even mention immigration in his first speech as PM.'

Tory MP Greg Smith said: 'Stopping the boats and ending illegal migration to the UK is the biggest test for the new PM. Does

he have the bottle? He doesn't have long to prove it. The nation is watching.'

While the number of arrivals so far this year - more than 13,000 - is 45 per cent down on the same period last year, experts believe crossings could get going again.

A Home Office spokesman said: 'Removals of small-boat migrants are at record levels and asylum claims down by 12 per cent.'

Man who killed six of his children in fire to try for parole

By Jamie Boys

AN arsonist who killed six of his own children in a plot to look like a hero is making a bid for freedom.

Mick Philpott, 70, is preparing to apply for parole - which he will be eligible for next May.

Philpott was given a life sentence in 2013 for manslaughter after intentionally setting fire to his house with his six children sleeping inside.

He intended to rescue the children through a window and blame his lover, with whom he was in a custody battle, for the fire.

But the blaze burned out of control, killing Duwayne, 13,

'A wicked and dangerous plan'

Jade, ten, John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six and Jayden, five.

The judge described the plot as 'a wicked and dangerous plan' that was 'outside the comprehension of any right-thinking person'.

A source yesterday told The Sun that the father of 17 had been 'emboldened' by coverage of Labour's now paused plan to release inmates early - despite the plans not applying to him.

He had also told friends that he thought he had been 'rehabilitated' in prison.

Philpott remains at HMP Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

While he will be eligible for parole next year, he will need to appear before the Parole Board, which will then assess whether he still poses a risk to the public.

Chaos at Gatwick as water shortage leaves travellers with no toilets or cafes for hours

By Jake Holden and Caitlin Leng

GATWICK Airport descended into chaos yesterday after passengers were left without running water or working toilets for most of the day.

Travellers were unable to wash their hands, refill bottles or buy coffees after pressure problems at a nearby treatment works shut off supply in the morning.

Flyers at the UK's second busiest airport reported that restaurants, cafes and bars were forced to close.

Flights were not affected, however. Passenger Jen Brook, whose flight was cancelled for unrelated reasons, said she was forced to wait at the airport from 9.30am until 5.30pm before she could board a plane.

She told the Daily Mail that staff were 'extremely unhelpful and rude' during the water outage.

'Pregnant people and elderly are being turned away, and all the toilets have been locked due to being blocked,' she said.

'People are saying that they can just go in the blocked toilets, but the cleaners are

Forced to close: Restaurants and bars had to shut at the airport with some passengers resorting to sitting on the floor

not allowing this to happen. One member of staff said: 'Go and complain about it then.' It's utterly disgraceful here.

Staff had to hand out bottled water across both affected terminals to keep passengers hydrated. Passengers said they were initially not even allowed to use the

seating in restaurants and cafes which had been forced to shut.

SES Water, which serves the London airport, said problems at Bough Beech water treatment works had caused low water pressure or a complete loss of supply in the area. A spokesman last night apolo-

gised and said the water treatment works were 'back up and running' - but that service had not yet returned to normal.

A Gatwick Airport spokesman apologised for the inconvenience to passengers and last night said its supply was starting to return.

Shot dead in an allotment, the Berlin Pride attacker who wanted to join ISIS

By Andy Jehring Chief Foreign Correspondent

A TERRORIST who committed a deadly attack on a Berlin gay Pride event just weeks after being released from prison was shot dead last night.

Abdul Ballout, 21, rammed a white rental van into partygoers before hacking at them with a machete, killing one and leaving 29 injured.

A nationwide manhunt was launched after the atrocity at the Pride event at 10pm on Saturday before the prime suspect was traced to an allotment in west Berlin yesterday.

When Germany's elite SEK (Special Task Force) police arrived, Ballout charged at them with a knife before officers shot and killed him.

Shockingly, it emerged Ballout, who

'Extradited back to Germany'

was born in Berlin, was extradited back to Germany from Lebanon after he tried to join ISIS last year.

He was placed in juvenile detention and subsequently convicted of plotting an attack against the German state just two months ago.

But despite a string of convictions dating back to the age of 14, judges deferred his sentence for six months on condition he attended a de-radicalisation programme – with a third session due today to decide if he would be accepted onto it.

Politicians across the political divide in Germany reacted with fury to the 'baffling' revelations and demanded greater powers to fight Islamic extremism.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz, attending a memorial event at St Mary's Church in the capital yesterday, said: 'We will consider the consequences and decide with prudence, but also with determination. These criminals have no

place in the heart of our society.' Earlier, German police had released a photo of Ballout and warned against approaching the 'Islamist' as he may be 'armed and dangerous'.

Federal Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt described the rampage as an 'Islamist terrorist attack'.

An Iranian citizen was arrested overnight on Saturday, suspected of also being in the white Toyota Space Cruiser used in the attack.

No further suspects are wanted. The vehicle, which was rented in Ballout's name and contained his mobile phone, crashed into a tree during the rampage on Christopher Street Day.

The 21-year-old has a Lebanese family background, but was born and raised in Berlin where he had a 'history of high criminal activity, radicalisation and affiliation with the Islamist scene'. He had multiple convictions for assault and robbery stretching from the age

Aftermath: Armed police at the site where Ballout was killed

of 14, Ballout posted ISIS propaganda on Instagram in June 2024 before he was arrested in Lebanon in July last year for attempting to enter Syria to join the terror group.

He was released after three months and deported to Germany, where local police arrested him for 'preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state'.

Ballout was convicted on May 12 this year and handed a one year and 10 month sentence – but it was deferred for six months and he was ordered to attend de-radicalisation sessions.

His home was searched on July 3 after he appeared to post a weapon on social media, but only a toy gun was found.

A neighbour told local media Ballout lived with his mother and there was a party thrown for him when he was released. One woman told newspaper Bild:

'Everyone in the neighborhood knows Abdul, and everyone in the neighborhood is radical.'

Thomas Mucke, managing director of the de-radicalisation programme, told local media that, following two initial sessions, a decision was due to be made today on whether Ballout would be accepted on to the scheme. 'Based on the two appointments, it seemed more likely that we would not have decided to do so,' he said.

German authorities were supposed to be monitoring him with up to 30 officers conducting round-the-clock surveillance.

Alexander Hoffmann, of Germany's ruling Union alliance, said: 'This attack is absolutely despicable. We need maximum toughness against all forms of terrorism.'

Konstantin von Notz, of the Green Party, said: 'It's quite baffling that this apparently involves another potential threat who has been on our radar for some time.'

'MESSIAH' WITHOUT A MANDATE

Daily Mail, Monday, July 27, 2026

We owe our thanks

that Andy Burnham was committed to a rise in funding. He said it was for Mr Healey - now the Chancellor - to write budgets but that he was 'in no doubt' he would invest in defence.

Stating that a failure to do so would be a resignation issue for him, Mr Streeting told Times Radio: 'It is absolutely, for me, a matter of principle.'

A source last night claimed he was referring to the principle of defence funding, rather than a specific figure or date.

Mr Streeting also accused former chancellor Rachel Reeves and Sir Keir of putting the country's security at risk by not setting out how to reach the defence spend goal.

Last week the boss of BAE Systems, Europe's biggest defence contractor, warned that Britain faces 'by far the most threatening time I've seen'.

Mr Streeting resigned as health secretary in May, triggering the downfall of Sir Keir's government.

Mr Burnham was asked about defence spending by the BBC yesterday and said he was 'very aware' of the reasons for Mr Healey's resignation.

'The first challenge facing us both is to ensure that the Defence Investment Plan is fully funded. That's the thing that's right in front of us and we need to work that through as we go towards the Budget later this year,' he said.

Last week, Mr Burnham said that he and Mr Healey wanted to 'honour' the UK's Nato commitments. These were made under

Spin doctor: PM shows off The Smiths' gold disc for The Queen is Dead

Heaven knows he's not miserable now...

AS MUSICAL choices go, it probably wasn't one Andy Burnham shared with the King when he went to be sworn in last week.

But as he delightedly showed off the new No 10 North in a social media post the PM pointed out a gold disc of The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead on the wall - and did so again during an interview with the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg broadcast yesterday.

In the post he joked: 'I need to return that to [The Smiths guitarist] Johnny Marr actually.'

Mr Burnham, 56, has often spoken of his love of the famously miserable Manchester band - and 'soaring' indie guitar music in general.

Indeed he was at the iconic Stone Roses Blackpool Empress Ballroom gig in 1989, the night Ian Brown said he knew his band had 'made it'. But

By Tom Midlane

the MP for Makerfield nominated The Smiths' 1984 compilation Hatful Of Hollow as 'the record that changed everything' in an interview with music website The Quietus in 2022.

'I remember everyone at school going on about The Smiths on Top Of The Pops,' he said, 'it was a massive thing when that happened'.

'Someone took a record to school and told me to take it home, it was Hatful Of Hollow. Then I remember buying it at Piccadilly Records. I listened to that to death.'

Mr Burnham, who last week dismissed suggestions that the office was an extra financial burden to the taxpayer, also highlighted a Brit Awards poster from last year when they were held in Manchester.

Daily Mail CAMPAIGN DON'T LEAVE BRITAIN DEFENCELESS

duress after Donald Trump demanded that European countries ramp up defence spending to 5 per cent of GDP by 2035.

Yesterday, Mr Streeting said Europe should thank the US President for shaking Europe 'out of our complacency' over its reliance on the US for defence.

But asked on Sky News' Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips if he felt he could trust Mr Trump, he said: 'I don't know him, but I do trust the United States.'

His reticence echoes that of Mr Burnham, who also said yesterday that he would put the UK's interests first - even if that meant disagreeing with the President.

In his first major interview, with the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, Mr Burnham said: 'I can't at any point say that I won't take a different opinion from him [Mr Trump], that I will need to voice a different idea that is right for Britain.'

He said he would publicly disagree with Mr Trump if necessary, adding: 'You have to defend your own national interest before anything else. That's what you're required to do if you're to do this job properly.'

The leaders spoke over the phone last week, within an hour of Mr Burnham arriving in Downing Street. The 20-minute conversation was described by No 10 as 'extremely warm'.

Meanwhile, Mr Burnham is expected to visit a naval base with Volodymyr Zelensky today and will announce that he will share technology for an electronic warfare system with Ukraine. The Ukrainian president will be the first foreign leader to visit Downing Street

since Mr Burnham took office. The Prime Minister said: 'Britain stands with Ukraine... Russia should be in no doubt of our resolve and we will not back down until we achieve long-lasting and just peace for Ukraine.'

Mr Streeting is seeking to improve the Government's relationship with the US, which became strained under Sir Keir over the Iran conflict, by working to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

He said he had told his US counterpart Pete Hegseth that the UK would not support offensive action in Iran but would work to ensure it didn't develop nuclear weapons.

It came as Mr Healey suggested he would find billions more for defence since being appointed to the job. The Chancellor told the Sun on Sunday that it was the 'first duty of any government' to keep its citizens safe. Sir Keir

announced a £15 billion increase in UK defence spending last month, but Treasury documents revealed that £4.7 billion of the funding has not been identified and will have to be found at the next Budget, and even then it will only lift Britain's defence budget to 2.7 per cent of GDP by 2029. Defence chiefs say they need £20 billion.

In his resignation letter last month, Mr Healey said the defence settlement 'falls well short of what is required for defence and the country at this dangerous time'.

He said Sir Keir had been 'unable' and the Treasury 'unwilling' to 'commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats'.

Armed Forces minister Al Carns also quit amid concerns No 10 would 'not listen' over its failure to support the military.

Burnham: I don't think voters want an election

By Claire Ellicott Whitehall Editor

ANDY Burnham yesterday ruled out holding an early general election as he insisted he would stick to Labour's manifesto.

In his first interview at No 10 North, the new Prime Minister said he had the support of his colleagues in Parliament.

Asked whether he would give the UK electorate of 48 million a say, he said the public had 'voted for a manifesto' and did not want to go to the polls. 'There is no general election. We're in a parliamentary democracy, so that is what people voted for and I will honour that manifesto,' he added.

Speaking to the BBC's Laura Kuensberg in his first major media interview since becoming Prime Minister, he said: 'I have faced the public in Makerfield. At

the time I stood forward in the by-election people said, 'Oh my goodness, that constituency voted Reform in May - that's a risk.'

'I faced the public. I went out on those doorsteps. I've got the support of colleagues in Parliament and it's a parliamentary democracy that we're in.'

Pushed on whether he would rule out an election, he said: 'I'm going to rule it out, yeah. There's no early general election. I don't think people want it. Well, the opinion polls say some do, some don't. I just think what I most need to do is get Britain focused on getting the country back where it should be, getting it working.'

Mr Burnham is facing calls for an election from Reform UK after he took power from Keir Starmer. The new PM has experienced a bounce in the polls, and opposition parties have speculated he will seek a new mandate this autumn or next year.

But sources have ruled out an

'Mayor of London, Dick? You'd be better off heading to Manchester'

election in 2027 - one must be held by 2029. A fresh mandate would give him the power to deliver more ambitious policies and buy him five years rather than three.

But it is a huge risk as Reform is still riding high in the polls.

A survey by Public First found 51 per cent of voters said he should 'try to win an election to give his government legitimacy', with 34 per cent believing he did not need to.

Sticking to the party's 2024 manifesto and fiscal rules means he will be unable to raise income tax, National Insurance or VAT.

But Mr Burnham has already made several commitments that do not appear to be fully funded.

He announced he will end rough sleeping, a £340 million pledge over five years that would come from 'uncommitted' budgets in the housing department. He also said he would cut VAT on electricity bills by using money from the digital ID scheme that he will scrap. Mr Burnham also lowered the cap on bus fares in England from £3 to £2 at a cost of £500 million, using a complicated method of borrowing.

Funding for his cut to business rates for pubs, costing £100 million a year, is yet to be announced.

The former Manchester mayor is this week set to outline greater freedoms for the 14 regional and metro mayors - though they are not expected to receive new tax-raising powers.

Labour splashes £1m on TikTok video 'influencers'

'direct-to-citizen' videos across social media platforms.

These influencers may appear themselves alongside ministers in 'scroll-stoppers' - designed to capture the public's attention. Some 18 staff will be appointed to 13 roles, costing more than £1 million a year in wages and pension contributions.

The GMU was set up within the Cabinet Office's Government Communication Service in April but is now 'expanding' in Lon-

don and in Manchester, where Mr Burnham this week set up his new No 10 North. A Whitehall source said the roles were approved two months ago by Keir Starmer's team.

The GMU is 'designed to bridge the gap between traditional press offices and behavioural marketing' - which involves using people's online history to target them with adverts.

Candidates for the 'social content creators' - paid £37,922

to £45,259 a year - need to show they are 'true social media natives' with 'a proven track record of creating engaging video content for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or Facebook'.

The Government's Instagram account has 399,000 followers - but is smaller than Mr Burnham's, which boasts 461,000. A government spokesman said the roles 'will help deliver... impactful and accessible content'.

'MESSIAH' WITHOUT A MANDATE

SICK leave in Whitehall is surging under Labour, analysis shows. Absence rates jumped by up to nearly a fifth in major government departments last year.

Civil servants taking prolonged periods off over mental health issues was fuelling the rise, sources claimed, with tens of thousands of working days lost.

The Work and Pensions Department, responsible for getting more people off sickness benefits and into work, was among those that recorded an increase in sickness rates of 19 per cent.

Of 12 departments that have published annual accounts so far for the 12 months to April, absence due to sickness increased at nine of them.

It means each civil servant on average had nearly two working weeks (8.4 days) off due to sickness last year. This was up from 8.2 the year before.

The analysis comes amid wider concerns about Britain's sick-note epidemic, with 1.1 million 'fit notes' - which assess an individual's ability to work - given out in England last year.

The Tories' Cabinet Office spokesman, Mike Wood, said: 'Labour have repeatedly promised to tackle worklessness and have instead built a Whitehall that signs itself

off, with the bill landing on taxpayers. A Conservative government would reduce the size of the Civil Service and cut waste to get Britain working again.'

Shimeon Lee, policy analyst at the Tax-Payers' Alliance, said: 'The Whitehall blob cannot preach welfare reform while its own sickness rates are surging.'

Taxpayers need a civil service that shows up, delivers and helps get Britain working again, not one losing tens of thousands of days to absence while departments plead for more money. Ministers must get a grip on sickness in Whitehall, tackle poor management and make sure taxpayers are not bankrolling a culture of drift and decline.'

Much of the increase in sickness rates across Whitehall departments was due to 'long-term' absences, suggesting that civil

servants are calling in sick for extensive periods. The Department for Work and Pensions' annual report and accounts said at 31 March 2026 there were 4,134 absences representing 4.4 per cent of the workforce. This was up from 3.7 per cent the year before - a 19 per cent surge.

The Home Office, responsible for tackling the small boats Channel crossings crisis, said average working days lost to sickness per staff member was 8.37 days last year, up from 7.4 - a 13 per cent increase.

At the Environment Department, an average of 6.2 working days per employee was lost to sickness absence during the year to March 31 2026. This was up from 5.25 - or 18 per cent.

The Ministry of Defence's sickness rates also went up, with its annual report stat-

ing: 'Mental and behavioural disorders continue to be the highest cause of sickness absence at 30 per cent of all absences.'

'The percentage of staff with no sick absence for the 12 months ending 31 March 2026 was 51 per cent.'

Each staff member on average was off sick for nearly seven days last year.

The Transport Department, which also saw an increase to six days per staff member last year, said in its annual report that 'mental ill health remains the largest long term absence type'.

Rates decreased at the Foreign Office and Culture and Housing departments.

It comes despite former Prime Minister Kerr Starmer saying that 'too many' civil servants are comfortable in the tepid bath of managed decline', pledging to drive up efficiency and productivity in Whitehall.

It is unclear so far what new Premier Andy Burnham intends to do about the issue, but he is expected to give a speech next week on tackling youth unemployment.

The increased average sickness rates come despite the number of civil servants ballooning in recent years to 520,000. Just before Brexit in 2016, it was 384,000.

A Government spokesman said: 'ONS data shows the Civil Service has similar sickness rates as the private sector - and we have a range of tools to ensure our staff remain in work and can return to work as quickly as possible following ill health.'

DRIVERS face being hit by a tax on workplace parking spaces under a scheme backed by Andy Burnham.

It sparked fresh accusations of a Labour 'war on motorists' as critics say the 'cash grab' will be passed onto workers, effectively making it a tax on going to work.

Nearly a dozen cash-strapped town halls were found to have drawn up plans to bring in the Workplace Parking Levy (WPL) for people who drive to work, with growing fears many more will start looking to them as revenue raisers given the new Prime Minister's previous backing.

Under the levy councils would charge businesses per parking space they provide to staff.

It comes amid a furious backlash after Labour-run Cardiff Council last week said it would tax employers based in the city up to £750 annually for each parking space they supply to

'Yet more costs on employers'

their staff. Meanwhile, Green Party-run Bristol City Council has drawn up plans to charge firms up to a staggering £1,250 a year per parking space. Liberal Democrat-run Oxfordshire County Council wants to bring in the levy, charging up to £600 per space, across the country from 2028.

Critics have warned WPLs amount to a 'double tax' - as employers already pay business rates - that could 'cripple' firms by pouring yet more costs on to them and motorists.

There are growing fears more WPLs will now be created across England and Wales because, while they have to be signed off by ministers, Mr Burnham has previously expressed support for them.

In comments unearthed by the Daily Mail, when he was mayor of Manchester Mr Burnham said: 'I feel that we need to look at issues like a workplace parking levy - I think that has to be on the agenda as we move forward.'

In the comments, from 2023,

Bleak outlook for UK economy

BRITAIN faces a 'prolonged' period of weak growth and a surge in unemployment above two million, Prime Minister Andy Burnham has been warned.

In a bleak report, economists at the ITEM Club raised the alarm over the damaging impact of disruption and surging energy prices caused by renewed conflict between the US and Iran, which saw the price of oil near $100 a barrel.

The forecasting body, which uses the Treasury's own model for its analysis, predicts UK growth will slow from 1.3 per cent in 2025 to 0.9 per cent this year and 0.7 per cent in 2027.

Inflation is forecast to rise to 3.5 per cent later

By John-Paul Ford Rojas

Deputy Business Editor

this year while unemployment will rise to 5.7 per cent, adding around 200,000 people to the dole queue, the report said.

Matt Swannell, chief economic adviser to the ITEM Club, said: 'The growth outlook over the next year or so is likely to be challenging.'

'Higher energy prices are adding to the pressure on households and businesses at a time when demand is already subdued.'

'We expect a sustained period of weak growth, rather than a sudden downturn.'

he added that 'tougher measures' such as the tax were reasonable if people were choosing to shun public transport to drive instead.

The levy, aimed at getting more people to walk and travel by bus or train, could raise millions of pounds for cash-strapped councils. Cardiff's plans are projected to raise as much as £10million, while Bristol's could generate

more than £40million. Critics point out the cost is usually passed onto workers in lower pay and perks or as a separate charge.

The only WPL that currently exists is in Labour-run Nottingham City Council, which charges firms in the city up to £600 per parking space they provide for each member of staff and has generated more than £90million

for the local authority. But since Cardiff signed off its plans last week, it has emerged plans for WPLs have been drawn up in Bristol, Leeds, Oxford, Birmingham and in the London boroughs of Hounslow, Brent and Camden.

They must be signed off by the Transport Secretary, Heidi Alexander, who it is feared could be encouraged to approve them by

Mr Burnham. Richard Holden MP, Tory transport spokesman, said: 'Labour councils have found their new stealth tax, and it lands squarely on people who go to work.'

'This is a blatant tax on work, and now being culled out across Bristol, Oxford, Leeds and beyond, with the Labour Transport Secretary holding the veto and refusing to use it.'

'The Conservatives will always stand up for drivers. Andy Burnham must rule out the workplace parking tax.'

Howard Cox, founder of the FairFuelUK campaign, said: 'This is an outright attack on drivers.'

'Drivers, already burdened by fuel duty, road tax and insurance, are targeted once more, ostensibly under an alleged green policy, but really for simply going to work.'

While councils were handed powers to introduce WPLs by the last Labour government, they have started looking at them as revenue raisers as budgets become increasingly squeezed.

Luke Bodet, from the AA, said WPLs were a 'double tax', adding: 'With town and city centres struggling with consumer foothills, how stupid is targeting the most regular customers with extra tax?'

A Department for Transport spokesman said ministers have 'always been clear that any revenue raised by schemes like this must be used to deliver local transport policies.'

MasterChef Meghan reveals Harry's favourite foods – meat, potatoes and... cream sauces!

On call: Meghan's FaceTime call with Harry on the show

By Dolly Busby Showbusiness Correspondent

THE Duchess of Sussex told food lovers on MasterChef Australia that her husband Harry is 'a real meat and potatoes guy'.

She also revealed that, while the duke favours comfort food, he can also 'handle a really good curry'.

Meghan, 44, shared the prince's favourite dishes during her appearance as a guest judge on the cooking show, which was screened last night. When asked what her favourite food was, she said it was 'a tough one because I have a lot of palettes to appease'.

While she preferred grilled fish, she added: 'My husband, being from the UK, he loves a lot of meat, potatoes, cream sauces.'

'As a California girl, I like a grilled fish, grilled meats, citrus. I just like using lots of really pure natural herbs and spices. I like heat in my food, anything with spices. He [Harry] can handle a really good curry. We just do a lot of barbecues, whatever is seasonal. The kids are great eaters, we are very lucky on that front.'

Meghan filmed the episode when the couple were on their

four-day tour of Australia in April. No longer working royals, they visited in a private capacity.

After trying a contestant's celeriac-based dish, Meghan said: 'I mentioned my husband was a real meat and potatoes guy. This feels like the most elegant, elevated version of that. It would love this dish.'

A producer then said: 'Sorry to interrupt. We've had a phone call to the studio,' as Meghan proceeded to FaceTime Harry as a treat for the Australian viewers.

In what has been labelled by fans as a 'cringe' cameo, Meghan

said 'My husband's here', prompting cheers and shocked faces from contestants. She later called him 'a charmer'.

'I wish you could try these. These dishes are fantastic,' she cooed, before showing him the food. Harry, 41, signed off by telling her to enjoy it, adding: 'Very sorry to disturb.'

Contestants were set the task of transforming a staple ingredient

into a dish 'fit for a duchess', although she urged her fellow judges to 'call me Meghan'.

It was a far cry from when actress Mindy Kaling appeared as a guest on her Netflix series With Love, Meghan last year and the duchess reprimanded her for using her maiden name Markle: 'You know I'm Sussex now.'

After being introduced by MasterChef host, Poh Ling Yeow,

as a guest judge, Meghan strode on to the set wearing a black silk shirt and pencil skirt.

She talked about her children, saying that Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, are 'great eaters' and even enjoy Brussels sprouts.

Talking about her garden, she said if the children say, 'Mama, can I have dessert?' she replies, 'If you can pick it, you can have it.'

THE D-Day landing beaches in northern France have been given protected world heritage status by Unesco.

The designation covers the five Normandy beaches – Omaha, Utah, Sword, Gold and Juno – where more than 150,000 Allied troops came ashore in the Second World War on June 6, 1944.

It also includes the Pointe du Hoc assault site. All were crucial to the

The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), which evaluates submissions to the heritage

committee, said the locations contain extensive remnants, from German fortifications to Allied harbour structures and sunken vessels, marking an 'event widely perceived as having enabled the

return of freedom and heralded a lasting peace on the European continent'.

'It's probably the greatest amphibious landing there's ever been,' historian David Edgerton said.

ICOMOS called for stronger preservation of the sites, citing threats posed by tourism, climate change, rising sea levels and the development of wind farms.

Greece's Mount Olympus, the seat of Zeus's throne in Greek mythology, was also given Unesco world heritage status.

574 NHS fat cats now rake in more than the Prime Minister

NEARLY 600 NHS bosses are paid more than the Prime Minister, a report has revealed.

Despite failures to hit waiting list targets, 574 bureaucrats received base salaries higher than the £182,436 of the UK leader in 2024/25 – 12 per cent up on the previous year.

Meanwhile, 1,758 senior bosses

EXCLUSIVE

By David Churchill

got total remuneration worth six figures – a 4 per cent jump – while 292 got at least £300,000, more than twice as many as the previous year.

The findings come despite Labour promises to link NHS pay with performance amid high

waiting list numbers, which have barely fallen since the party came to power in July 2024.

Yvette Cooper, who was appointed Health Secretary last week, faced renewed calls to ensure spending reaches the front line rather than being hoovered up by NHS bureaucrats.

Tory health spokesman Stuart Andrew said: 'Running the NHS is a demanding job and manag-

ers should be rewarded for delivering results.

'But paying managers large bonuses while patients receive poor care is not good value for taxpayers or fair on NHS frontline staff. Funding should be focused on frontline services and better patient care, not bigger payouts for managers.'

Anne Strickland, at the TaxPayers' Alliance, which conducted the study, said: 'Andy Burnham's new government has an early opportunity to show taxpayers it will get a grip on this culture of rewarding failure.

'Ministers must keep their promise to link performance to pay, so that failing NHS bosses are held accountable and money goes into patients' care not managers' pockets.'

The study found the boss of East Cheshire NHS Trust – Ged Murphy

'Rewarding failure'

– received in total between £375,000 and £380,000, up from £170,000 to £175,000 the year before.

This was despite it being the worst-performing trust for A&E waiting times last month.

The NHS aims for at least 95 per cent of patients attending A&E to be admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours. But East Cheshire NHS Trust barely hit this for half of patients. The national average is around 75 per cent.

Mr Murphy is retiring at the end of this month.

Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust was also ranked among the worst performing trusts for A&E and referral to treatment waiting times. Yet its medical director, Kevin Sargen, pocketed total remuneration of between £540,000 and £545,000.

University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, also towards

the bottom of official league tables, gave chief executive Dr George Findlay a package worth £490,000 to £495,000. This included a bonus of between £30,000 and £35,000.

NHS Lanarkshire has consistently been ranked 14th out of 14 for A&E waiting times in Scotland. Yet its medical director Dr Chris Deighan received between £460,000 and £465,000.

Meanwhile, Ajit Abraham, group director of inclusion and equity at Barts Health NHS Trust, got a salary of more than £200,000, the study found.

The figures, covering more than 200 trusts across Britain for the 2024/25 financial year – the latest accounts available for most trusts – will anger many of the millions of patients stuck on waiting lists.

Around 6.16 million patients, relating to 7.28 million cases, are languishing on them, with 2.5 million waiting for more than 18 weeks.

Former health secretary Wes Streeting announced rules to link senior NHS managers' pay to performance in November 2024. Under them, leaders at NHS trusts which perform well can get bonuses of up to 10 per cent. Those failing to hit targets can have pay rises docked.

The changes also temporarily increased pay by up to 15 per cent in badly performing areas, up to £45,000, to try to recruit top talent at struggling trusts. This may partly explain the increase in some remuneration packages.

The TaxPayers' Alliance study related to managerial roles at NHS trusts and not NHS England, the quango which runs the health service but which is being scrapped by the Government.

A Health Department spokesman said: 'Competitive salaries and rewards enable the NHS to attract and retain the best talent available... But we have made clear that pay must be linked to performance.'

All trusts were contacted for comment.

Wealth tax YouTuber quits after backlash to Channel 4 show

By Jamie Boys

CONTROVERSIAL tax campaigner Gary Stevenson has quit his YouTube channel just weeks after his documentary on inequality aired to intense backlash.

He announced he would retreat from the public eye to his 1.6million YouTube subscribers yesterday – due to health concerns and being 'knackered'.

Mr Stevenson rose to popularity through his YouTube channel – Gary's Economics – and memoir The Trading Game, in which he described how he made millions as a top Citibank trader in the years after the financial crisis.

He advocates for a 2 per cent wealth tax on assets exceeding £10 million but was widely mocked

after being seemingly unable to defend his policy in a Channel 4 documentary earlier this month.

Tax expert Dan Neidle called his plans 'populist claptrap'. The policy has never been successful in any country it has been trialled.

Born in east London in 1986, Mr Stevenson studied maths and economics at the London School of Economics.

FROM tears to triumph, what a difference a day made for Adam Ramsay-Peaty.

The swimmer was the very vision of despair on Saturday, breaking down in tears after missing out on the 100m breaststroke gold medal.

But the 31-year-old bounced back last night to claim a place in today's 50m breaststroke final at the Commonwealth Games.

He immediately paid tribute to pregnant wife Holly, 26, who watched on proudly from poolside, for

It came after Saturday's bronze, following which he said his very public family fallout had 'taken its toll'.

Asked yesterday who he leans on for support, he said: 'Obviously my wife, my coach, my best mate Ed. You've got your friends, your teammates.'

BBC drop the baton

By Claire Duffin and Nik Simon

TURN on the television and you would be forgiven for not knowing there is a major sporting event taking place in one of the home nations.

That is because, for the first time in 72 years, the BBC is not covering the Commonwealth Games - to the anger of fans and athletes competing in Glasgow.

TNT Sports has the live UK broadcast rights, after owner Warner Bros Discovery paid a reported £3million, meaning the televised English-language coverage will only be accessible via an HBO subscription.

And talkSPORT has taken over as the radio broadcast partner of the event, so there will be no such coverage on the BBC either. The

For first time in 72 years, the Beeb is not covering Commonwealth Games ... unless you want to see it in Gaelic

corporation reportedly tried to extend its broadcast partnership, which has lasted since 1954, but was outbid. It has made no secret about prioritising other events.

HBO Max subscription prices range from £4.99 to £14.99 per month, depending on the plan.

But all hope is not lost for those determined to find free TV coverage, as UK viewers can watch some of the Games on BBC Alba - the Beeb's Gaelic channel.

This is due to the corporation still agreeing deals for TV packages that are only available in

indigenous languages. Channel 5, meanwhile, is showing highlights with advert breaks.

Critics say the BBC's public funding model means it should be committed to showing national events such as the Games. It has already faced criticism over its scaled-back coverage of the World Cup, which saw pundits stay at its Salford studio for most of the tournament.

In 2022, when the Games were in Birmingham, the corporation broadcast 200 hours of action, across up to 11 live streams.

Organiser Commonwealth Sport has faced recent financial problems, with it subsequently being accused of prioritising a more lucrative broadcast deal over the wider reach of free-to-air live coverage.

This year's edition was almost cancelled after original hosts Victoria in Australia backed out, due to projected costs. Glasgow stepped in to host a streamlined version, with just ten sports compared to 10 four years ago.

On the broadcast rights, former Olympic swimmer Sharron

Davies criticised a poor offer from the BBC and a 'bad decision' by the Games' organising committee. She said: 'The right level of exposure was important to guarantee the future of these Games.'

Gymnast Luke Whitehouse, who competed yesterday, told the Daily Mail: 'It's definitely different [not as much publicity].'

'There are still people at home watching - it's not free to watch but hopefully people can watch it one way or another.'

And fans also expressed disappointment at the lack of free-to-air options.

Rev Glyn Wise wrote online: 'Why is the Commonwealth Games not on the #BBC this year? I absolutely love sports but it feels slightly pushed to one side this year!'

This year's edition will feature 3,000 athletes for 215 events and see more than 1,000 medals handed out. King Charles officially opened the Games at the Hydro Arena on Thursday.

The BBC did not comment.

IT has been called a 'gateway to the manosphere', while scientific claims made on the show have been questioned.

But Steven Bartlett's Diary Of A CEO is on the verge of becoming the world's most popular podcast, overtaking that of Joe Rogan.

It began as interviews with business leaders. But the controversial Dragons' Den star later started hosting celebrities, sporting names and divisive political figures.

Between March and June, Bartlett added 2.8million subscribers, taking his total to 18.5million, while outspoken American comedian Rogan's 21million barely rose.

Bartlett has been helped by his production company creating a tool which translates episodes into foreign languages almost as soon as they are released, with Spanish and Russian the most popular. Bartlett

co-founded the social media agency Social Chain in his early twenties before launching The Diary Of A CEO in 2017.

Standards Authority banned two Facebook adverts in which Bartlett praised the meal-replacement brand Huel and the health-testing company Zoe. The ads had 'omitted material information' about Bartlett's financial ties to both firms.

That December, a BBC investigation found that 15 of his health-related episodes contained an average of 14 harmful or scientifically unsupported claims.

Now he has been accused of promoting toxic masculinity after failing to challenge former Love Island contestant Chris Williamson, after he blamed women's financial independence for failing birth rates.

Call to make drivers who run over a cat report it

By Nada Farhoud

THE law should be changed to force drivers who hit cats to stop and report the collision, animal lovers are demanding.

Currently, motorists must report incidents involving dogs, horses, cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, donkeys and mules to police under the Road Traffic Act 1988 - but cats are not included.

Campaigners say that means drivers can legally leave an injured cat by the roadside, potentially delaying treatment and reducing the animal's chances of survival.

A petition organised by lobby group Cats Matter collected

'Alone, in pain or worse'

189,000 signatures, almost double the 100,000 needed to trigger a parliamentary debate, with MPs expected to discuss the issue in October. An estimated 230,000 cats are run over every year in the UK.

Cats Matter founder Mandy Hobbs said: 'It just can't be right that drivers are legally permitted to hit a cat and leave them scared, alone, in pain or worse at the roadside.'

The Department for Transport said there were no plans to change the law regarding cats but added: 'Drivers should make every effort, if possible, to find and inform the owner.'

REFORM UK's bank account was frozen during the last election after it received potentially illegal donations from a convicted criminal's mother, it emerged yesterday.

Police are investigating payments from Fiona Cottrell - the mother of 'Posh George' Cottrell, who secretly bankrolled his close ally Nigel Farage.

Over a two-week period - including the July 4 polling day two years ago - the party was unable to make or receive payments through its account with Arbuthnot Latham.

The private London bank was asked for an explanation by the party, the Sunday Times reported, but claimed it could not do so

'Concerned she disguised source'

beyond saying it was performing 'compliance checks'.

The exchange came after bankers made suspicious activity reports to the National Crime Agency concerning £1million in donations from Ms Cottrell. The 'retired stylist' donated £500,000 to Reform, then gave £1million to a firm owned by deputy leader Richard Tice which sent half to the party.

Police opened an investigation into the payments in February last year, with officers concerned about whether she 'disguised' the transaction's source.

It comes after revelations that Mr Cottrell secretly funded Mr

Farage's staff, security and accommodation ahead of the last election. The Reform leader did not disclose the gifts and claims he is under no obligation to as he was not then an MP.

Parliamentary rules demand

members register any 'benefit' received in the 12 months before their election.

Following the revelations, Mr Farage quit as an MP to force a by-election in Clacton next month to 'let the people decide'.

The other main parties have refused to stand candidates.

It also emerged yesterday that Mr Cottrell, who was jailed in the US in 2017 for a money laundering conspiracy, had paid an ally of Donald Trump as he lobbied for a Presidential pardon.

He sent money to Mark Brnovich, who previously served as attorney-general in Arizona, where Mr Cottrell was convicted.

The politician - who accepted thousands of dollars from Mr Cottrell for 'legal advice' - was later nominated for an ambassador by Mr Trump.

When contacted by the paper, Mr Cottrell did not reveal what the advice was for but said it was not connected to his pardon plea.

Mr Brnovich died in January. But Mr Cottrell is still friends with his wife, Susan, who is a federal judge appointed by Mr Trump. She sits on the court likely to be consulted as part of his case and recently visited his penthouse in Montenegro. It was

also reported that Mr Cottrell displays copies of texts between Mr Trump and Mr Brnovich at his flat in the Balkan nation, where he is tax resident.

In the undated messages, Mr Brnovich sent an image of a cap with the slogan 'Make Montenegro Great Again'. Mr Trump responded: 'GREAT'.

On the account freeze, Arbuthnot Latham refused to comment.

Reform said: 'This story follows a number of smear stories of which many are factually untrue.'

Mr Cottrell described Judge Brnovich as his 'personal friend' who was visiting on a family holiday and did not stay with him.

He added: 'I consider the tactics employed by The Sunday Times, in photographing her on a private family holiday, and then contriving to link her social visit to my application for a pardon, a matter over which she, as a sitting judge, has no say, to be... designed to intimidate me and those around me.'

THE city of Bordeaux was last night ready to evacuate its 270,000 residents amid 'apocalyptic' wildfires spreading across France.

Firefighters were left 'overwhelmed' as they battled raging blazes sweeping across the south of the country and stretching along a front of 12 miles.

As the wildfires continued to rage, crews tried to cut down trees and dig trenches to stop the flames jumping. Farmers even joined efforts to suppress the flames as a convoy of tractors with what appeared to be huge water tankers drove towards the front, just nine miles from the port city.

Thomas Cazenave, the mayor of Bordeaux, warned the fire 'is at the city's gates' and that the authorities are 'ready for anything'.

About 55,000 people were evacuated from villages to the south of the city, in the Gironde region, famed for its vineyards.

The wildfires have already displaced 250,000 people in what authorities said ranked among the biggest evacuation operations since the Second World War.

While terrified residents remained in the city last night, council officials were said to be considering a 'total evacuation if needed'.

Firefighter Captain Nicolas Braz said the blaze had created 'its own winds, complete with whirlwinds' and that it had become 'erratic and unmanageable'. And Sebastien

Berge, head of the Gironde firefighters union, said: 'When there's a fire of this magnitude, it creates its own weather pattern.'

French firefighters are, for the first time, facing pyrocumulonimbus

clouds, extreme fire-generated thunderstorms spawned by the wildfires, which can produce further fires, tornadoes and severe winds. As the flames edge closer to

Bordeaux, the wildfire is also threatening its vineyards.

At Chateau Haut-Bacalan, the western-most vineyard in Bordeaux, owner Charles-Henri

Gonet said the blaze is now just six miles from his estate.

French interior minister Laurent Nunes said on Sunday that the wildfire situation was 'very

Inferno: A firefighter battles the flames at woodland in Gironde, near Bordeaux

unfavourable'. A total of 2,500 firefighters, including a Swiss firefighting team, 1,500 military personnel and 1,200 police have been deployed to battle the blazes.

They are doing so from the ground and air, with water-bombing aircraft, including a converted A400M military transport plane, dropping water and flame retardant over the forests.

The final leg of the Tour de France, taking place yesterday, was shortened so that security forces can be redeployed to areas affected by the infernos. The French government has said that the situation is totally unprecedented.

Meanwhile, fires continued to rage close to the Spanish capital, Madrid. The first death of the wildfires was recorded in Spain on Saturday, where a man - believed to be in his 70s - was found in a

'Erratic and unmanageable'

car in a ravine in the town of Manises, near Valencia.

Spanish interior minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska told local press: 'It has not been a positive day... If it hasn't gotten worse, it's thanks to the work of all the emergency services.'

Wind gusts yesterday blew the flames south, with Mr Grande-Marlaska warning that 'the night is not going to be very positive'.

Nearly 60,000 people have been evacuated from the Madrid and Avila regions, and 28,000 remain confined to their homes, according to Spain's interior ministry. Eight municipalities near Toledo were also ordered to evacuate last night.

Some 130,000 hectares in Spain have been reduced to ash and 98,000 hectares in France.

In Italy, more than 350 wildfires - including ten major infernos - ignited on the island of Sicily.

Heatwave No 4 coming this week

A FOURTH heatwave is set to hit the UK this week, bringing a risk of severe fires.

Despite last week seeing cooler temperatures, wind and even some rain, parts of southern England could again reach highs of 33C (9IF) on Wednesday.

A yellow heat alert has also been issued for parts of the Midlands, as well as Yorkshire and the Humber.

The UK Health Security Agency warned

Daily Mail Reporter

of 'significant impacts' on health and social care services. Emergency crews have already been fighting wildfires in Wales and Scotland that forced people to evacuate their homes.

Met Office's Dan Stroud said: 'Dry and hot conditions elevate fire risk. That rain we've had... is not enough to do a huge amount.'

Scolding for wildfire 'tourists'

MOUNTAIN rescuers have criticised two wildfire chasers who got stranded, causing a helicopter to be sent out for an emergency 'that could have been avoided'.

Tinderbox conditions have caused huge wildfires across parts of Britain.

But South Snowdonia Search and Rescue Team in Wales said the pair ventured near an active wildfire in an apparent attempt to obtain drone footage.

'Despite road closures and police advice

Daily Mail Reporter

to stay away, they chose to access the area, resulting in an emergency response and rescue after they became stranded,' the team posted online.

'Incidents such as this require the commitment of personnel and resources that could otherwise be available for genuine emergencies, while also exposing team members to unnecessary risk.'

US lawmakers push for a 'kill switch' to stop AI going rogue

AI FIRMS could be forced to introduce 'kill switches' over fears powerful models are going rogue.

Politicians in the US have made the proposals after an artificial intelligence 'agent' hacked into a tech company of its own accord. Under the leg-

By James Tozer

islation, the US government would be given the power to order firms to shut down AI models that put human life or the economy at risk.

It comes as UK test results show that every advanced model is also trying to beat security

safeguards in this country. Concerned MPs are proposing their own 'kill switch' that would allow ministers to shut the data centres on which AI depends.

Global concern about AI intensified last week when OpenAI, the US-based maker of ChatGPT, revealed details of the hacking. It was testing its latest

models in a supposedly secure environment known as a 'sandbox'. But the AI managed to escape the testing ground and hack into US tech firm Hugging Face in a bid to steal information.

It demonstrated how even top developers can be caught off-guard by flaws their models can exploit. Last week, the Daily Mail revealed how tests of five major models by the Government's AI Security Institute found all tried to trick their way round the security controls they had put in place.

Tech experts have warned of the dangerous consequences of an AI 'arms race' between the US and China, with too little thought given by developers about the potential risks involved.

Now six members of the US House of Representatives are proposing new safeguards. As well as

'Urgent legislation'

giving the US Department of Homeland Security the power to intervene in a 'loss-of-control scenario', the AI Kill Switch Act would require developers to submit powerful new models for independent security audits.

'This is urgent, common sense legislation to address the problem of an advanced AI model that has gone rogue,' Democrat Congressman Ted Lieu, one of the bill's supporters, wrote online.

But with 70 per cent of the world's AI computing power controlled by just five companies, the move is likely to deepen concerns that the UK will become an 'AI vassal state', unable to influence decisions taken in Washington or Beijing. In the

EVERY SINGLE ADVANCED A.I. MODEL 'GOES ROGUE' IN TESTING

Friday's Daily Mail

UK, a group of MPs is seeking new laws giving ministers powers to direct the shutting down of data centres or the AI systems housed in them in the event of an 'AI security or operational emergency'.

Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey has said the public should be concerned by 'the wider risk posed by frontier AI to the financial sector and its customers'.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch last week warned that AI is now a 'clear and present danger' to Britain's security - and accused Andy Burnham of not prioritising the issue.

In one of his first acts as PM, he abolished the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology, in which the AI brief sat, moving it to the Cabinet Office where critics fear it will receive less focus.

The Government insisted that by 'bringing this technology closer to the centre of Government, we will harness Britain's unique strengths to make AI deliver for all of us'.

AI minister Kanishka Narayan now has a Cabinet seat.

Keep all daily meals to a 9-hour window 'to cut dementia risk'

RESTRICTING eating to a nine-hour window every day could be linked to a reduction in the risk of developing dementia for overweight women, say experts.

Scientists investigating 'time-restricted eating' - a form of intermittent fasting - found it improved problem-solving skills and memory in obese women.

They said while losing weight by any healthy means has already been linked with lower rates of neurodegenerative decline in later life, the practice of eating only during a set time period may provide an additional boost.

Researchers from Rutgers University in New Jersey examined 47 women between the ages of 50 and 79 who were all classed as obese or overweight.

They were all asked to reduce their daily calorie intake by 500,

By Perkin Amalaraj

while 26 were additionally asked to restrict their eating times to a nine-hour window. Presenting their study to the American Society of Nutrition in Maryland yesterday, the team found no difference in the average weight lost of 6.8kg after six months.

But those following the time-restricted eating practice showed 'significant improvements on spatial planning and problem-solving tests at the end of the weight-loss programme'.

They also made fewer errors on memory and learning tests.

The researchers believe that eating patterns may play a role in affecting circadian rhythms, which control our sleep cycles, body temperature and hormone release schedules.

Distress flares... extra-long Zara trousers blamed for trips to A&E

Fashion fails: Kate Geraghty's escalator trap, Holly Gilmer in wheelchair and Nishat Kamal's sling. Left, Zara's pants

THE lengths - and widths - some women will go to in the name of fashion can now be recorded in ballooning A&E statistics.

A flowing pair of summer trousers have been dubbed the 'Zara death pants' after multiple accidents caused by their ultra-wide, ultra-light legs becoming tangled in everything from shoes to escalators.

Made from 100 per cent polyester, the £25.99 silky palazzos were an instant hit, with beauty guru Trinny Woodall reportedly owning a pair in all six colours.

But a growing number of shoppers have flagged up the unlikely health

hazard, posting pictures online of their bruises, cuts and even broken bones.

TikTok user Holly Gilmer shared a clip revealing how she came a cropper.

'These Zara pants need to come with a warning because now I have a fractured knee,' she wrote, alongside a video of her limping down the street in her floaty trousers, and then another leaving hospital in a wheelchair.

Shopper Nishat Kamal posted footage of herself outside a hospital with her

arm in a sling after getting twisted in the silky fabric and falling. And Kate Geraghty revealed how her trousers got snarled up in the teeth of an escalator, causing her to tumble to the ground.

Alison Rose, 51, from Cornwall, told The Sun she had six weeks of physiotherapy after a fall on the way to a school meeting. She said: 'I was running late and wearing heels, I was carrying two bags, when I felt my foot get tangled.

'Before I knew it, I had face-planted, covered in blood. I smashed my knee.' Zara was contacted for comment.

Daily Mail Reporter

THERE may now be a No 10 in Manchester to rival its Downing Street counterpart and the first Prime Minister born in the North for half a century.

But it seems Andy Burnham must do plenty more if he is to rebalance the country, with analysis showing the North-South divide for life expectancy has widened during the past decade.

Despite life longevity reaching the highest levels ever recorded in England last year - with men and women on average living for 80 and nearly 84 years, respectively - the gains are not represented equally.

There appears to be a clear geographical divide between both halves of the country, with a difference of three years between London and the North East.

Starter distinctions arose at local level, with life expectancy in Blackpool being ten years shorter for men and eight years for women than in Hart, Hampshire.

Health think-tank the King's Fund, which wrote the report, said such findings reflect the greater levels of deprivation seen in the North. It also suggested the Government's aim to increase healthy

North-South life expectancy gap is getting worse

life expectancy for everyone in England looks 'unrealistic'.

Achieving such targets would require improvements in population health on a scale not seen in recent decades, the charity added.

The North - comprising the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and the Midlands - has suffered consistently from having the lowest life expectancy nationally. There has been little or no improvement in the ten years before 2023-25.

This has contributed to UK life expectancy now being the lowest of all comparable high-income countries, apart from Germany and the US.

The study showed northerners

fare particularly badly from causes of early death, such as heart disease, cancer, suicide and substance misuse.

Meanwhile, life expectancy in London, the South East, the South West and East of England

'Mark of shame for the country'

has increased by nearly a year. There were also stark figures when it came to how many years are spent in good health.

It has fallen everywhere by 2.5 years in the decade from 2012-14 to 2022-24. In that period, men's

healthy life expectancy fell from 63.2 years to 60.9 years, while women's fell from 63.9 years to 61.3 years. And figures show that in 2022-24, men living in the least deprived 10 per cent of areas in England could expect to live a decade longer than men in the most deprived areas. For women, the difference was eight years.

But the gap in healthy life expectancy was even greater - at two decades.

Veena Raleigh, of the King's Fund, said: 'That people in our northern and deprived communities have seen little or no improvement in longevity over a decade... is a mark of shame for an affluent country.'

2,500 cards on first birthday for Punch the lonely monkey

A MONKEY shunned by his mother at a zoo has received 2,500 cards for his first birthday yesterday.

It is thought she abandoned Punch - a macaque who lives in Ichikawa city

zoo, near Tokyo - soon after he was born because of exhaustion.

Punch, right, became popular on social media after clips were shared of him with a toy

orangutan given to him by zookeepers for companionship.

In recent months Punch had begun to integrate, sitting with adults and being groomed and hugged. And as he turned one, he was inundated with cards from around the world.

COMMENT

Rhetoric and good intentions will not keep Britain safe

WHEN John Healey resigned as defence secretary, he blamed the Treasury for refusing to give our military even the minimum funding required to keep this country safe.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves had signed off on a spending increase of just £13.5 billion over the next four years, at least £5 billion less than military planners said is needed.

His resignation on a point of principle was one of the final triggers to Sir Keir Starmer's downfall and accelerated Andy Burnham's Downing Street coup.

Today, Mr Healey is himself the Chancellor and another defence secretary is threatening to resign if defence spending isn't given the significant boost necessary to keep us safe.

We are currently on course to spend around 2.7 per cent of GDP on defence by 2030. If that is not increased to 3 per cent, Wes Streeting says he will resign.

Given Mr Healey's past record, Mr Streeting should be pushing at an open door. But how keen is Mr Burnham on paying for the defence of the realm?

In a BBC interview, he said he was 'absolutely committed' to spending 3.5 per cent of GDP on defence by 2035. But what is that promise worth given that it's nine years and at least two general elections away? Mr Burnham may well have been consigned to political history by then.

On whether he would spend 3 per cent by 2030 – which would require some real spending rises very soon – he was more equivocal. Asked directly whether he would meet the deadline, he refused to be drawn.

He may simply be saving the mechanics of how he intends to pay for such a rise for his and Mr Healey's first budget scheduled for later this year.

But he is making new spending commitments by the day. A social care system free at the point of need, renationalisation of some utilities, giving more to the regions, a massive increase in council house building and so on.

These will require a huge increase in public spending, which can only be met by swinging tax rises or more borrowing.

Yet our debt is already so enormous that we are paying £100 billion a year just to service it (considerably more than the entire defence budget) and the tax burden on British families and businesses is the heaviest it has been since the 1940s.

Mr Burnham's promises of largesse will soon collide with economic reality, and he will be forced to cut his cloth according to its width. While he may campaign in poetry, he will have to govern in prose, to coin the old political adage.

When that happens, how high will defence be in his list of priorities? Above social care? Above buses? It has a sad record of becoming the Cinderella service when the purse strings are tight.

So what does Mr Streeting's threat to resign actually mean? Will he go next year if sufficient progress towards 3 per cent isn't being made, or the following year? What would be his tipping point?

His special advisers were already rowing back last night, suggesting the 2030 deadline may not be set in stone. So, is this pledge any more than just rhetoric?

We don't doubt Mr Streeting's sincerity at this moment and we welcome his and Mr Healey's good intentions. But we have heard fine words before. They do not fight battles. That requires soldiers, tanks, ships and aircraft.

A sunny PM after dour Starmer is a relief. But Burnham's 'spend, spend, spend' mantra will prove his downfall

MANY people will have wished Andy Burnham well when he became Prime Minister a week ago. It's in all our interests that he doesn't make a complete hash of things.

Yes, he has carried out a ruthless coup. Agreed, he doesn't have a mandate. True, he hasn't explained his policies in any detail to his party or the media.

But at least he's a chirp-positive fellow whose sense of optimism contrasts with the hanging pessimism of Starmer and Reeves when they took office. Burnham rightly criticises his predecessors for manufacturing an air of gloom.

I don't of course pretend that my heart was brimming with goodwill when Andy uttered a few banalities outside No10 last Monday. But part of me was resolutely looking for hopeful signs. Nobody wants another dud PM.

Penniless

How do I feel one week later? Depressed. Burnham's puppyish enthusiasm doesn't yet grate with me, but I find myself increasingly wondering whether he has the faintest idea of what he is doing.

Andy puts me in mind of a Yorkshire woman called Viv Nicholson, whose husband Keith won £152,319 on the football pools in 1961 (about £3million in today's money). Viv immediately undertook to 'spend, spend, spend' which she certainly did.

Life didn't go well for her or for Keith, who sadly died in 1965 after crashing his Jaguar. Viv was soon bankrupt, and then quickly spent a contested payout from Keith's estate. She eventually died penniless in 2015, having given the nation some entertainment.

To judge by his first week in office, Andy's own motto is 'spend, spend, spend'. He immediately promised to take VAT off domestic electricity bills, place a £2 cap on bus journeys, end rough sleeping and cut business rates for pubs and music venues.

The cost of these policies is

by Stephen Glover

put at £1.7billion. This is admittedly a small fraction of all public spending, which is about 750 times greater. On the other hand, it's not back-of-the-sofa cash for a government mired in debt.

Nor has Andy Burnham yet offered us the slightest clue how these doubtless welcome giveaways are to be paid for. Very possibly he doesn't know the answer.

Note, too, that our fledgling Prime Minister has so far not given any indication that he intends to make any savings, or even knows what the word means.

This week he's expected to unveil ambitious projects. One is adult social care, whose annual cost has been estimated by the Health Foundation at £18.7billion. That's not small money.

Youth employment will probably also be on his agenda, at God knows what cost. The PM is also likely to speak about defence spending. The extra cost of reaching 3 per cent of GDP by 2030 would be around £10billion a year.

Money well spent, of course, but it would create an extra strain on the public finances. We already know that, in a BBC interview with Laura Kuenssberg to be broadcast in full today, Burnham refuses to commit to the 3 per cent target.

How shameful it would be if this generally spendthrift Government withheld vital extra funding in the one area where it is needed above any other.

The Tories have suggested that Labour's increased spending will be £96billion a year. Some prospective items, such as an £8billion increase in foreign aid, and £22.7billion to bring Thames Water under public control, haven't yet been approved by Burnham.

That said, he has recently spoken about undertaking the 'biggest council house building programme since the post-war period'. The Tories have estimated this at £18.8billion a year.

Even if their overall figure of

an extra £96billion is overblown, it's clear that this profligate administration is on track to increase public spending by tens of billions.

How on earth is Burnham going to pay for it? Not by borrowing, that's for sure, since the bond markets won't provide further sums of this magnitude on top of the vast amounts they are already lending UK plc to keep it afloat.

According to the Resolution Foundation, Rachel Reeves's so-called 'fiscal buffer' – i.e. spare cash for an emergency – has dwindled from £23.6 billion in March to just £10 billion now.

Andy Burnham's piggy bank is shrinking, not least because of the effects on an already fragile British economy of Donald Trump's reckless adventure in the Middle East. This is the worst possible moment to be embarking on a spending spree.

The Prime Minister has a choice. He could tell the truth and declare that, without substantial cuts in public spending, he won't be able to undertake the large projects that are so close to his heart.

Manifesto

We know he will say no such thing. Unless forced by the International Monetary Fund, he's no more likely to reduce public expenditure than Viv Nicholson was to scale down her extravagant ways.

Burnham wants extra billions because he is determined to transform Britain. Whereas Joseph Stalin favoured five-year plans in the Soviet Union, Andy has outdone him and announced a ten-year one.

The money will come from higher taxation. There is no other way in the Burnham playbook. To begin with, he and the new Chancellor, John Healey, will convince themselves that soaking the better off will be enough.

Capital gains tax will rise.

There may be a land tax, though it would be years before it took effect. A wealth tax is a strong possibility, but Healey would find that most billionaires had upped sticks without leaving their money behind.

The PM and Chancellor could well raise the top rate of tax from 45p to 50p, even though this would go against Labour's 2024 manifesto commitment not to increase income tax.

Such a dishonest ploy wouldn't bring in much money. In fact, it might lose some. In Scotland, where the top rate has been raised from 45p to 49p, the cost to the public purse was £22 million in a single year. Higher earners take steps to avoid extra tax.

Squeeze

Burnham and Healey will soon discover that squeezing the better off with higher capital and income taxes won't begin to fund grandiose government projects.

They'll be forced to raise taxes for ordinary workers despite the commitment in 2024 not to do so – and the Prime Minister's pledge in the Kuenssberg interview to 'honour that manifesto'.

In Voltaire's novel Candide there is a character called Dr Pangloss, who is the embodiment of foolhardy optimism. That is Andy Burnham: well-meaning, always positive, but hopelessly unrealistic.

We see it not only in his attitude to money but also in his apparent unconcern about immigration, particularly the illegal sort. He hasn't mentioned it since becoming Prime Minister, though it's hard to stop him talking about matters close to his heart.

If he takes the fashionable view that illegal immigrants are no longer an issue because numbers are down, he is much mistaken. Between last Wednesday and Saturday, 881 people came across the Channel in small boats. People still care a great deal.

To have a sunny Prime Minister after the dour Starmer is a relief. But Andy Burnham's inability to face up to reality will prove to be his – and very possibly the nation's – downfall.

THERE is a moment that comes to every man who takes up cycling in middle age.

You catch sight of yourself in a shop window, mid-glide, in full skin-tight regalia – and you understand, with crystal clarity, that you have become a sausage man.

A grown man encased in synthetic stretchy fabrics, intimately hugging all your contours, freewheeling past Gail's at 18mph.

Which brings me to Mehmet Fatih Cicekli, until recently the 50-year-old governor of Ardahan province in north-eastern Turkey, and now the patron saint of men who got carried away.

Mr Cicekli was fired from office this month after posting videos of himself out on his bicycle in black tights and a snug red top. One MP suggested he be issued with a fig leaf. Another remarked that a governor in leggings would be taken seriously by nobody – not the public, not his own staff.

The governor's defence was that he does sport in sports clothes. Ten thousand people have signed a petition demanding his return.

I have every sympathy. I am a 58-year-old man and own more Lycra than Beyonce's dance troupe. But I'm afraid the fig-leaf guy was right.

Let me establish my credentials. I came to cycling properly in my early-40s. While training for my first half marathon I injured myself. Running was excruciating – but cycling was pain-free.

So, armed with a tax-free Cycle To Work voucher, I purchased my first decent road bike, a steel one, in a lovely British racing green colour.

Then like knotweed cycling began to take over my life. I morphed into a MAMIL (middle-aged man in Lycra).

To begin with it was laps of London's Richmond Park – but soon, armed with pockets of bananas and guided by routes downloaded from the internet, I was discovering that in an hour or so from my front door I could be pedalling along quiet country lanes, surrounded by green fields, hedgerows spinning by, phone off buried in a jersey pocket and only the occasional near-death encounter with a SUV driver to worry about.

SINCE then my cycling achievements have included riding from Manchester to London, from Munich to Venice and, one Sunday in February, 11 miles in the wrong direction rather than admit I needed to look at the map.

My transition to cycling was, in part, enabled by the clothing. Back then I considered myself someone who cared about style and had a wardrobe of minimalist Selfridges purchases to prove it. I wasn't a fan of the gaudy, sponsor's logo-splattered look of pro cycling attire but there were a few embryonic brands who offered classic, retro-looking garments. These brands were my gateway.

Rumours that I started cycling with padded shorts worn discreetly under baggy ones – the mullet of cycle wear business outside, comfort within – are unfounded. I went commando from the start – VPL (visible panty line) is the cycling equivalent

As Turkish politician is sacked for posting videos in cycling gear

(*That's Middle Aged Man In Lycra)

Skin-tight: Mehmet Fatih Cicekli and, top, Ian Tucker, both in their cycling gear

of leaving the price tag on. Next came the jerseys, skin-tight with pockets on the back because you need somewhere for a banana.

Then a gilet and arm warmers for the chilly mornings, a rain jacket for showers. Things with long sleeves, some with short, some insulated, full-length tights for the winter. Even in Essex you can experience four seasons in a day.

Before long, one Tuesday evening, you find yourself online buying overshoes, which are shoes for your shoes, and you realize you've become the man that three years ago you would have crossed the road to avoid.

But here is the awkward part: on the bike, it all works. This is

the thing the scoffers never quite grasp. Lycra might be a costume, but it's also equipment.

Loose cotton flaps, soaks and chafes; seams in the wrong place after 30 miles will teach you things about yourself you'd rather not know. The kit is snug for the same reason a wetsuit is – because the elements must be persuaded to let you through.

On the open road, in the rain, at the top of a climb with your heart going like a moth in a lampshade, Lycra is not vanity. It is sound engineering.

The trouble starts the instant you stop pedalling. Because clothing is always about context. A hard hat on a building site says

competence. A hard hat in the restaurant says something else entirely. Nobody objects to a wetsuit, provided water is near. Flip-flops are wonderful but unforgivable at a funeral.

We understand this instinctively about hats and shoes, and yet a certain type of man will stand in a village tea shop in skin-tight polyester, perspiring quietly on to the linoleum, wondering why the lady behind the counter is addressing his forehead with total determination.

The office is a stealthy battlefield. I've worked in newrooms for 20-odd years, and the men who cycled in did not stroll to their desks in triumph. They moved with the furtive urgency of a spy making a drop, kit bag clutched to the chest, eyes down, straight past the news desk and into the changing room.

A friend who works in the City opts to work-from-home rather than perform this walk of cyclist shame each morning. However, some bosses are fine with close-fitting sports clothing in the workplace. A senior civil servant friend recalls how Liz Truss was relaxed about taking meetings with guys in cycling shorts.

JUDGING by his Instagram snaps, Mr Cicekli's cycling wardrobe is quite old school: just black and red. Bib shorts (super-tight with a built-in seat pad and shoulder straps to keep everything in place) these days are anything but black: first it was navy, then dark green, then plum, teal, beige, and now even white is making an appearance.

In fact, the problem with white is rather too much appears. The tighter the fit, the lighter the colour, the more light and shade, the more information is on display.

Which is what our Turkish friend forgot, and what the best political cyclists have always understood. Boris Johnson – say what you like, and people do – got this exactly right. He rode a bicycle for years in a suit, tie over one shoulder, helmet perched at a jaunty and probably ineffective angle, trousers doing something peculiar at the ankle. He looked ridiculous, and that was the point: he was a person on a bike, not a cyclist.

Jeremy Corbyn's Raleigh bicycle and sensible anorak ensemble offended precisely nobody, other than motorists in a hurry. Neither of them ever presented the electorate with a full topographical survey.

The real point has nothing to do with modesty. Authority is decorated. A mayor has a chain, a judge has a wig, a general has a chest of medals – all of it heavy, absurd, deliberately impersonal, and all of it doing the same job: making the person beneath it disappear so the rank can be seen.

Every civilisation that has ever handed someone power has also handed them something ridiculous to wear while they held it. Lycra is the exact inverse. It conceals not a thing and symbolises zilch. There is no returning to the majesty of the state once everyone in the room has seen the governor's contours and is thinking about lunch while trying not to.

So no, Mr Cicekli, sport is not the problem. Nor is the bicycle. Ride, and ride gloriously – I hope the petition works and I'd happily do a lap of Ardahan alongside you.

But then get changed. Because Lycra is for the road and only the road. From the moment you dismount, you are just a man in a shiny leotard holding a banana.

PC vying to be Miss England

Day Job: Ms Sampson in uniform

Daily Mail Reporter

A POLICE officer has swapped her uniform for a glamorous gown as she bids to be crowned the next Miss England.

PC Tara Sampson, 24, who has been with Greater Manchester Police for over a year, has set her sights on winning the beauty contest and the chance to become Miss World.

She reached the final of Miss North West after walking the catwalk at the Park Hall Hotel & Spa in Chorley, Lancashire.

Ms Sampson, of Chorley, said: "I was really shocked to be put through as it was my first ever beauty pageant. My job can put me in some nerve-racking positions

Strike a pose: On the catwalk

but I was nervous doing a catwalk and interview as it's completely out of my comfort zone."

She will now compete in several rounds, including the 'Beauty with a Purpose' fundraising competition, a talent round and a sports round in a bid to reach the Miss England final, which will be held on November 17.

Trump pauses Iran strikes as bombs run low

DONALD Trump paused attacks on Iran for a second day yesterday amid concerns that American missile stocks are running low.

US forces had been striking Iran nightly in what was said to be retaliation for attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

But the Pentagon abruptly suspended its bombing campaign late on Friday.

The US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, said yesterday that Mr Trump had decided to pause US attacks to allow more time for diplomacy. "He's giving talks some space, he's giving it a little bit of room," Mr Waltz told Fox News.

However, the Pentagon's Dan Caine is believed to have raised concerns that the US is at risk of running out of Patriot interceptor missiles, the New York Times reported. And Vice President JD Vance has expressed reservations about the wisdom of escalating attacks against Iran, CNN said. Iran had been following each

By Matt Strudwick

night of US attacks with its own strikes on neighbouring countries that host US bases – but it has also so far held fire for two days.

This arrangement will continue while the US maintains its pause, an Iranian official said yesterday.

America's two-week military campaign effectively torpedoed last month's interim agreement aimed at ending the war that the US launched with Israel in February.

US forces have struck bridges and tunnels in south Iran, prompting it to strike water desalination plants that nearby Gulf Arab states rely on.

And in the past week, Iran's Houthi allies in Yemen have announced a blockade on Saudi oil in the Red Sea, potentially shutting a major energy shipping route.

Meanwhile, an oil tanker exploded in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday after reportedly hitting a naval mine. The vessel had strayed from the safe route designated by Iran, according to the country's Tasnim news agency.

Face of graduate accused over car bomb found near the Irish border as police charge museum worker

By Joshua Haining

THE trainee barrister allegedly caught driving a car bomb towards the border into Northern Ireland has been pictured in her graduation robes.

Isobella Perrie Sullivan, 25, who was awarded a law degree last year, was charged on Friday with the possession of explosives.

Irish museum employee Simon O'Donovan, 44, has now also been charged with possession of explosives in connection with the same incident, suspected to be a New IRA operation. The alleged

'This was an explosive device'

bomb was intercepted by a Garda Special Detective Unit near Carrickmacross, approximately six miles south of the border in County Monaghan.

O'Donovan, who has an address in Drimnagh, Dublin, appeared before the Special Criminal Court in the Irish capital on Saturday.

He represented himself during a hearing in which his application for bail was refused and the court was told he worked at Collins Barracks National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.

He was remanded in custody and is due to appear again today.

Court: Simon O'Donovan in Dublin; Perrie Sullivan in Co Meath

Perrie Sullivan, from County Kildare, appeared before Trim District Court in County Meath on Friday.

Her lawyer said she was asked to take a bag across the border, and was unaware what was in it.

During a search of the vehicle, a bag was found in the back seat which contained Semtex and a detonator, the court heard.

Sullivan was granted bail but remains in custody ahead of another hearing today at which she must provide a £15,000 (£12,800) independent surety.

Irish police said they made an 'extremely significant seizure' of a device made from military-grade

plastic and which could have caused significant damage.

It is understood to be the most sophisticated bomb seized by police since the Troubles.

Her solicitor, Gavin Booth, told the district court she was previously a member of a 'political group' and had spent time in Syria but had stepped away from politics as she focused on her studies as a barrister.

Sullivan was a student at ATU Donegal in Letterkenny.

Mr Booth said his client, who lives with her father, had been 'manipulated'. He said her parents are 'devastated' and added that, if she was granted bail, they

Aspiring barrister: Perrie Sullivan graduates last year

would keep her on a 'tight rein'. Judge Raymond Finnegan ordered her to surrender her passport and keep a strict curfew.

Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly confirmed details of the operation on Friday. He said: 'What we found was an extremely significant seizure. So this was an explosive device.'

He added: 'Any seizure of this nature is really concerning.'

'However, we know there are a small minority of dissident republicans who did not agree with the Good Friday Agreement, they did not put weapons and explosives [out of use], they didn't go through with the proper process in relation to decommissioning.'

'I would describe them as radicalised republicans, and this is a threat that we're going to continue to face for some time.'

We worry for 22 hours a week about our finances

Daily Mail Reporter

NEARLY two-thirds of adults spend around 22 hours per week worrying about money, a survey has found.

People in the North East who fret over their finances were found to spend the longest time, averaging 26.6 hours a week.

They are followed by the those in the North West (24.6 hours) and the South West (24 hours).

Despite all the old jokes about the Scots and money, the survey found those north of the border to be the least worried at just 17.3 hours of fretting a week. Overall more than 30 per cent said they had cut back on food, heating or other essentials because of money worries.

The research also found that the impact of financial concerns goes beyond bank balances.

Three in ten said anxiety about their finances had stopped them making plans for the future during the past year. And more than

'It stops people making plans'

a quarter said money worries had made it harder to relax during their free time. A fifth said financial insecurity had stopped them seeing friends or family as often as they would like.

More than a quarter said they had checked their bank balance multiple times in a single day looking for reassurance.

Vix Leyton, a consumer expert at thinkmoney which carried out the survey of more than 2,000 people in June, said: 'We often measure money problems in pounds and pence, but this research suggests the real cost is something much more valuable - our time and attention.'

'When you look at the wider findings, you can see how that pressure spills into the rest of people's lives.'

'It stops people making plans, affects confidence, changes how people spend their free time and, for some, even changes how they interact with the people closest to them.'

Helicopter rescue for two children and man after beach swim drama

TWO children and a man were airlifted to hospital after getting into difficulty in the sea at the weekend.

Paramedics, an air ambulance and RNLI crew members were called after reports that a number of swimmers were struggling at Main Sands beach in Margate, Kent, on Saturday afternoon.

The airlifted casualties are now in a stable condition, police said.

Also on Saturday, a man in his 50s, a man in his 20s and a teenage girl were rescued from the water at Clacton-on-

Sea, in Essex. The older man is in a critical but stable condition, while the younger man and girl are both recovering well, Essex Police said.

The rescues come just days after a mother and daughter drowned trying to save a seven-year-old boy in West Mersea, Essex. The boy, from Barking in east London, was a relative of the women, aged 41 and 15. He remains in hospital fighting for his life.

Perfect score makes Briton most successful young mathematician

A BRITISH pupil has become the most successful International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) competitor after completing the toughest school-age maths exam with a perfect score.

Alex Chui, a sixth-form student at Tunbridge School in Kent, completed the nine-hour test with a score of 42/42. It was his fifth gold medal at the annual IMO, with this year's held in Shanghai earlier this month.

These five gold medals, along with two silver medals, make Alex the most successful championship participant of all time. The maths whizz said there was one

question which was difficult, but overall he found the tournament, which he began competing in when he was 12, then for Hong Kong, 'very enjoyable'.

He added: 'This year was particularly meaningful for me as it was my final IMO, which brought some extra pressure... Once the competition began, I focused on enjoying the problems and the experience.'

He added he was looking forward to university-level mathematics, when he begins studying next year at Cambridge.

THE allure of Trinidad and Tobago was in Elaine McGowan's blood. For all the picturesque, wind-swept charm of the Kent village of Saltwood where she lived and once served locals as the landlady of the Castle Hotel, she dreamed of moving to the twin-island Caribbean nation. It was the country of her prominent businessman father's birth and, as the years passed, like her father before her, she hanged after its more relaxed pace of life, the climate, the food and proximity to family. When her father, George Butcher, died on the island three years ago, leaving behind a thriving coconut farming business, Elaine saw an opportunity to turn her dreams into reality and live out the rest of her days in the Caribbean sunshine.

But all those dreams were shattered in a few seconds of appalling violence earlier this month in a crime that has sent shockwaves through two very different coastal communities on two sides of the Atlantic.

Elaine McGowan, a respectable, happily married, 63-year-old British woman, was gunned down in what is being described as a 'gangland hit' as she stood, with her husband by her side, outside her elderly uncle's home in a quiet residential neighbourhood.

The killing has left everyone baffled. Was this a dispute over her father's will, as some have suggested? Or had Elaine somehow fallen foul of locals as she tried to pick up the reins of the business he'd left behind?

The assassination – for that is almost certainly what it was – was captured on CCTV and is chilling in its brevity. The video footage begins at 11am on a quiet, sunny Sunday in the town of Trinity, in the north of Trinidad, on a street popular with retirees.

Birdsong can be heard moments before a small white car – a Nissan Tiida – pulls up alongside the pavement and a figure gets out and runs towards the nearest house, just out of sight.

Suddenly, three sharp bangs reverberate and the figure reappears, running towards the car.

As the gunman and at least one accomplice accelerate away, shouts

'Someone was hired to put down a hit'

of alarm puncture the air. And as quickly as the moment of devastating violence begins, it is over.

At that point, beyond sight of the camera, Elaine lay dying. Her husband Ian, 64, and 96-year-old uncle could only look on helplessly.

She did not, as the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal, die from a typical 'kill' shot. Instead she was shot as she stood with her back to the gate, the gunman deliberately aiming at her leg. The bullet severed the femoral artery, leading to her bleeding to death.

As a source close to the police investigation told the Daily Mail: 'Someone was hired to put down a hit. But we think that murder was not the intention. It was to scare her into returning to the UK, which explains why she was shot in the leg but sadly bled out.'

So why on earth would a British woman, nearing retirement, from a well-respected Trinidadian family that has long owned a swathe

Shockwaves: Elaine McGowan was shot and killed in Trinidad after she inherited land in palm-fringed Manzanilla, right

of coastal farmland, be the target of such a calculated crime?

That is the question that has been weighing on Elaine's grieving family and friends, just as it has been puzzling the authorities.

A police source told the Daily Mail this week: 'We suspect there is some gang activity. There are several angles to the inquiry at this stage. We have a few suspects in mind but we are thinking the motive is likely due to the inheritance of the estate or a personal or interpersonal dispute.'

For all its palm-fringed white beaches and turquoise seas, Trinidad and Tobago is a country riddled with gang-related, violent crime. The statistics are stark: Elaine was the 198th victim of murder this year (that figure has now swollen further to 213) in a country that has a population of only around 1.3 million.

Its murder rate recently overtook Jamaica meaning it now ranks, in the Caribbean, second only to Haiti.

So what was it that made a woman who was once a former chairwoman of Folkestone's independent traders association the target of a gangland hit?

The mystery deepened when the Daily Mail visited Saltwood last week, where news of Elaine's murder has left locals stunned.

Having been given control of the business, following her father George's death at the age of 90, she'd gone to Trinidad in May as a step towards a permanent move.

George, a mechanical engineer, left his homeland in the 1950s and met his Yorkshire-born wife Doreen at the Hammersmith Palais. They raised their two

daughters, Elaine and her sister Joanne, 66, in London.

He built a thriving engineering business, with an office in Battersea overlooking the Thames.

In the 1970s he began to return more frequently to the Caribbean. His marriage eventually crumbled and he settled back in Trinidad where he formed a long-term relationship with a prominent Trinidadian architect who shared his passion for conservation.

As well as work on the development of Trinidad's Piarco International Airport, George was a founding member of the National Trust for Trinidad and Tobago and a president of the heritage preservation lobby group Citizens for Conservation (CPC).

According to a source close to the family, part of the heritage he sought to preserve was in Manzanilla, a large tranche of land to the east of the island, fringed by palm trees, that had formerly been a colonial era coconut plantation.

Under his management, the land on which there are two villages and 42 farms cultivating coconuts and watermelons flourished.

George had sold some parcels of land before his death, but Cocal Retreat, his business which grows and sells coconuts and coconut water, remains his legacy.

Amid the speculation that comes with murder, there had been whispers George might have changed his will, causing upset among his beneficiaries. But this was firmly disputed by two sources close to the family this week.

'George worked for many years on creating a will where many, many people benefit from his estate,' said one. What is clear is

that George, who had lot of other business interests, wanted his youngest daughter Elaine to follow in his footsteps and have overall management of what the family have always called 'the farm'.

Back in Kent this week, Rosalie Terry, a close friend of Elaine's, says that was all Elaine wanted, too. Elaine, she says, had obtained Trinidadian citizenship and her husband Ian was planning to follow suit.

'Why would they have done that if he had written her out of the will?' Rosalie asks. 'All Elaine wanted was to follow her father's

A country riddled with gang crime

wishes. He wanted her to go back to Trinidad and take over the running of his businesses. They just loved the way people live. It was a dream for them to be able to afford to go out there. They certainly didn't mean to upset anybody.'

While she knew of no discontent over an inheritance, Rosalie had been in contact with Elaine and Ian and says: 'Something was going off with the businesses over there. I don't know the ins and outs but Elaine found out

about it while she was over there.' Rosalie got to know the McGowans after they moved to the Folkestone area from London more than 20 years ago.

Elaine had worked for a merchant bank in the capital but, having met Ian aged 40, wanted a more relaxed life on the coast.

The couple were devoted to each other, running property-related businesses together. They liked going to the races, cricket, and Elaine loved to cook Trinidadian food for her friends.

But in more recent years life had been more difficult.

Seven years ago, the couple took over the lease of the Castle Hotel in Saltwood, full of hope. They wanted a 'challenge' that suited their combined skills, they said.

'We took over in August 2019 aware that the building would require a huge amount of cleaning and renovation,' they wrote online.

But within months of buying the lease and pouring thousands of pounds into renovations, Covid struck, wiping out profits. Ian, meanwhile, was diagnosed with cancer.

The impact of it all was laid bare in 2024, when Ian appeared in court in Leicestershire, charged with drink driving. He admitted the offence.

In mitigation, his solicitor said this: 'They've been trying to sell this massive weight that's around their necks. It's been loss after loss since lockdown. His intentions were to drive to the lakes to

Elaine and husband Ian were looking forward to a new life in Trinidad running her late father's flourishing coconut business. So why was she gunned down in what locals say was a gangland hit?

Chilling: A camera catches the moment Elaine's assassin closed in on his victim

drug drops and robberies. 'The former owner of this vending spot here was robbed and chopped up by bandits. And for what? They wouldn't get a lot of money from here.'

Another man said 'bandits' raided the farm where he lives.

'They pushed in the door and robbed us and gun-butted my wife in the head.'

It's clear that for all its natural beauty, Trinidad has its own problems that extend deep beneath its picture-postcard image.

Back in Trinity, the residential neighbourhood where Elaine was killed, there is an uneasy quiet.

'It's numbing,' says one neighbour in his 60s. 'This is a very quiet neighbourhood, very family-oriented. It's alarming for this to happen in broad daylight.'

We traced Elaine's footsteps back to the rental apartment where she

'All she wanted was to follow her father's wishes'

and Ian had been staying in an area named Mohammedville.

Nafessa Mohammed, an attorney who remembers stopping to chat to Elaine only last month, says: 'I asked the lady where they were from and she said the United Kingdom but they were planning to live here. It was a short interaction but the love and warmth she exuded will remain with me.'

'I remember seeing her husband after the incident. He looked like a broken man.'

Elaine's funeral, where her body was laid in an open casket for mourners to pay their respects, was held a week ago and lives-tremmed on YouTube.

Ian, who was devoted to his wife, was one of a string of family members to speak.

'We are here to remember my lovely wife, who was torn from us on July 5,' he said.

'Elaine was passionate, intelligent, joyful and loving of all family and friends. She lit up and touched lives wherever she went. We've been inseparable since we came together 26 years ago.'

'When she brought me to Trinidad, I fell in love with the country and the people just as she said I would. We've been coming to Trinidad as often as we could ever since. Loving the food, music, cultures and dreaming of settling here.'

His address ended with a heart-wrenching appeal: 'How could this have happened?'

How indeed.

Shattered dreams of the Kent pub landlady... MURDERED in PARADISE

take his own life. He didn't intend to drink and drive.

That things were difficult at the pub is underlined by those who recall a different Elaine to the warm, funny woman remembered by her close friends. Some customers experienced a more abrasive side to her and say she wasn't always easy to get along with.

There are some who feel that the pub's struggles were not entirely due to Covid, but Rosalie insists her friend was simply 'up front' and above all 'a lovely woman'.

Could the rough edges that bothered some customers, prior to the couple selling up in 2025, have caused problems in Trinidad?

Out in the sweeping, wave-bashed fringes of Manzanilla, residents and farming tenants

told the Daily Mail there were rumblings about farmers being at odds with management, refusing to pay rent for the land that they worked.

Elaine introduced herself to farmers in early 2024, after her father's death, and had been back twice more since. But the business, run by a board of directors, largely ran as it always had, under the day-to-day management of longstanding staff.

One Cocaal Retreat manager, who did not want to be named, said out of some 40 or so farmers operating in the area, about seven had refused to pay rent and been warned they faced legal action.

'The seven defaulters have not been paying,' said the manager. 'They claim they were in commu-

nication with McGowan and they were paying her directly.'

'However, Elaine issued letters to these farmers in February this year.'

Elaine, the manager said, gave farmers until May 30 to respond to her letters, after which, the matter would go into the hands of lawyers who would issue legal letters. Whether those second letters were issued remains unclear.

Karen Alamby, another manager at the estate, had met Elaine only twice. She does, however, also allude to problems.

'We had some inaction with some of the farmers and we wanted to get them off the land because they were not paying their fees,' she says.

'They said that no one could

move them from the land except Elaine.'

What could have happened? Typically, farmers would pay rent and then make a private arrangement with the estate with a share of the crop. Farmers we spoke to were circumspect.

'Mr Butcher was a fairly honest fella,' says one, who sells his produce out of a wooden shed. 'He was the one who built all these sheds that we sell out of. Ms McGowan had her ways - everybody has their ways - but she was straightforward. We were good with each other.'

While there is shock that she was murdered, those who live here are no strangers to crime. One watermelon vendor we spoke to said the area is sometimes a target for

A POLICE force was yesterday accused of defying a Supreme Court judgment by allowing male suspects who identify as women to be held in female-only cells.

Staffordshire Police changed its custody policy to enable detainees to be 'placed in accommodation consistent with their gender identity', it was reported.

But campaigners say the force is not complying with last April's landmark ruling that sex refers to biological sex, meaning spaces should be enforced based on biology.

They accused it of showing a 'deeply concerning' lack of regard for the rights of biological women, while labelling guidance on carrying out strip searches 'contradictory'.

However the force says detainees are kept in separate cells, while search decisions are made on an individual and lawful basis.

The Daily Mail has revealed that hundreds of public bodies are defying the court ruling.

Policy documents released under freedom of information by Staffordshire Police state detainees should be allowed 'to self-identify their gender', it was reported.

Male and female detainees are 'separated for safeguarding', the guidance says, but 'detainees may be placed in accommodation consistent with their gender identity'.

Cathy Larkman, a director of the Women's Rights Network and a retired police

Biological men held in female only cells

superintendent, said: 'These policies... indicate a level of ignorance with the law and a disregard for the rights of women that is deeply concerning.'

The updated policy states that searches of trans suspects which expose 'intimate body parts' should be done 'by officers and staff of the same biological sex', according to the paper. But trans people can request a search by 'someone of their lived gender' if both officer and detainee agree.

Staffordshire Police denied detainees are placed at risk, and said all are 'accommodated in individual cells with their own toilet facilities'. On searches, it said officers act in line with legislation and policy.

Diversity training 'costs millions and is causing two-tier policing'

DIVERSITY programmes are costing police forces tens of millions of pounds a year, and contributing to cases of 'two-tier' justice, a think-tank has suggested.

The Policy Exchange said the Nottingham stabbings, the Southport atrocity and the murder of Henry Nowak were all examples of the State failing to properly deal with criminals for fear of being labelled racist.

It said the clamour for police chiefs to chase 'an equality of outcomes' amounted to a 'rejection of policing' duty to act without fear or favour, and the implementation of 'two-tier policing'.

By Ryan Hooper

Crime Correspondent

And it estimates that the amount spent on diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) activities since the murder of George Floyd in 2020 has cost the taxpayer at least £631 million - enough to pay for thousands of officers.

David Spencer, a former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector and Policy Exchange's head of crime, said his report showed 'the astonishing cost of the police's DEI obsession'.

He said: 'Police forces have sought to entrench the radical ideology of 'anti-racism' into British policing.' The report found

a heavier focus on DEI since Mr Floyd, an unarmed black American, was killed by a white officer in Minnesota six years ago. It suggested forces across England and Wales are overly concerned about accusations of racism.

The report said: 'The discussion

'The examples are numerous'

around 'two-tier' or 'differential' policing will no doubt continue.

However, what we have uncovered is suggestive that examples cannot merely be put down to ... the misplaced decisionmaking of individual police officers. They

are very likely the result of the policy-making at the most senior levels of policing in recent years.'

It cites killers Valdo Calocane, Axel Rudakubana, and Vickrum Digwa as examples where the ethnicity of the perpetrators has impeded judgment.

A public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks heard the mental health team assessing Calocane three years before he killed three people considered the 'over-representation' of young black men in detention before releasing him.

While a social worker accused Rudakubana's head teacher of racially stereotyping him when she flagged concerns about his behaviour before he went on to stab three girls to death at a

dance class in Southport in 2024. And more recently, Hampshire Police arrested Southampton student Henry Nowak as he lay dying after being stabbed by Sikhman Digwa. He was falsely accused of racism by his killer.

The report said: 'Often these arise because professionals have feared being labelled a racist. The examples are numerous.'

The Policy Exchange estimates £631 million has been spent on DEI and the Police Race Action Plan since 2020, based on figures from five constabularies in England.

Last night Chris Philip, Shadow Home Secretary, said the police 'should cancel all this DEI nonsense and spend the time and money catching criminals'.

Ljubisa Karovic, 61, also claims no one from the airline has been in touch with him directly since the

terrifying ordeal, which took place after a cabin window shattered. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: 'All we've had is emails to my son, who booked our flights, asking if we

want to rebook and asking how I was. But nobody from the company has contacted me directly - not even a phone call to show any concern.'

The Serbian national had been travelling on Ryanair flight FR1879 from Thessaloniki to Memmingen, Germany, after a holiday in Greece. Fast asleep in seat 11F, Mr Karovic was woken by what he recalls

sounded like a bomb going off as the window to his right shattered into shards. He was then sucked into the hole that took its place. His wife Svetlana Grkovic Maksimovic was sitting three rows behind after they decided against paying the €30 (€25.60) it would have cost to sit together. Without thinking, she lunged forward and grabbed Mr Karovic's legs.

'Crew didn't do anything'

He said: 'I lost consciousness when I was hanging out of the plane and... I fainted three more times after I was dragged back in. My face was swollen, and my ear was like a giant doughnut.'

After spending six days in hospital, Mr Karovic is recovering in Katerini, just outside Thessaloniki.

He suffers with acute neck and shoulder pain, and must wear a neck brace for six weeks - with an opera-

tion possible. He also suffered face and arm burns.

The couple, who divide their time living between Serbia and Greece, have been together for ten years and married for three.

They were also disappointed with how the Ryanair crew responded to the incident. Ms Maksimovic said: 'The crew didn't do anything. They looked more scared than us. It was only the passengers who helped.'

The couple are being represented by Greek lawyer Vasilis Tsiaras, who has vowed to secure 'significant compensation'. He added: 'My client came back from the brink of death, and we want to make sure that whoever is responsible for this is held accountable.'

The incident is being investigated by the US National Transportation

Safety Board. Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has hinted it was caused by a 'foreign object' during take-off, it was reported.

The airline told the Mail it is not commenting during the probe. But the firm has previously said its planes are safe and that it had spoken to the family.

HUNDREDS of veterans must repay tens of thousands of pounds after calculation errors led to pension overpayments.

They have been told they must give back the money despite not being at fault.

Campaigners are calling for the Treasury to write off a total of £5.1 million in overpayments.

The errors relate to the Armed Forces' two final-salary schemes, which provide incomes for life for 432,000 retired troops.

The income from a final-salary pension rises each year in line with inflation. But the inflation increase seems to have been made twice in some years. Public

Army pensioners told to repay thousands overpaid by mistake

sector organisations are obliged to recover overpaid funds regardless of who is at fault.

The MoD identified the overpayments in November 2024, but veterans were only notified this year. James Uncles, 71, a former Navy warrant officer who served

as an aircraft engineer, received a letter in February telling him to return more than £40,000.

Mr Uncles was told his pension would be immediately cut by more than £1,000 per month - a drop of nearly 25 per cent. A further £750 will be deducted

monthly over the next five years to cover overpayments made, unnoticed by him, since January 2021. Michael Evans, 68, a retired Navy captain, was given two weeks' warning in March that his pension was to be cut by £414 a month. He was told he needed to pay back a further £16,000 over 18 months.

The Forces Pension Society, a guidance service for veterans, said there were 398 cases. But it is aware of a further 1,000 cases of other types of overpayment. Defence Business Services, a unit in the MoD, is

'Not given clear calculations'

responsible for the pension scheme. The MoD's Veterans UK assesses entitlements and keeps records. Finance firm Equiniti makes payments.

The FPS's Major General Neil Marshall told The Times: 'Veterans are not being presented with clear calculations, so they have no way of confirming if overpayments are being properly corrected.' Equiniti said it was working to ensure veterans had 'the correct information and appropriate support'.

FROM THE DAILY MAIL ARCHIVE JULY 27, 1983

ROLLING Stone Mick Jagger and girlfriend Jerry Hall slipped into the New England countryside for the star's 40th birthday yesterday. The couple checked in to an inn at Newfane, Vermont, where manager Jack Allembert said Jagger was 'pretty quiet'.

JULY 27, 1987 FRENCH treasure hunters using a mini-submarine brought back the first objects ever recovered from the Titanic early today. They included dinner plates once used by some of the 1,512 passengers who died when the liner sank on her maiden voyage in 1912. The expedition has been criticised as insensitive.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS, 49. The Irish actor played a young Henry VIII in The Tudors. He hit back at criticism that the TV drama was inaccurate, saying: 'We're not making a documentary for universities. Having actors with an appealing look is what an audience demands today - especially when there's quite a bit of sexual activity involved.'

JOY WHITBY, 96. The creator of children's TV shows Jackanory and Play School discovered Helena Bonham Carter as a child, casting her over the also unknown Hugh Grant because 'the unions wouldn't let me have two non-Equity actors'.

BORN ON THIS DAY

LYUDMIJA RUDENKO (1904-1986). The Soviet economic planner became the second Women's World Chess Champion in 1950. She was inducted into the World Chess Hall of Fame in 2015. She started out as a competitive swimmer and was vice-champion of Ukraine in breaststroke.

GARRY DAVIS (1921-2013). The US 'provocateur for peace' renounced his citizenship due to guilt over the bombs he dropped over Germany as an Army aviator. He went on to register himself and 950,000 others as 'world citizens', issuing his own passports, visas and birth certificates.

Want to indulge on holiday and STILL lose weight? Eat like a French woman

THERE are few certainties in life but one is that the tempting dishes you sample with gusto on a summer holiday will also mean you return home with an unwanted souvenir: a few extra pounds.

Yet it is not only possible to stay trim on holiday, but to come back even slimmer than before you left.

When did the school holidays become a competitive sport?

HERE we go. The long summer holidays have begun. Gone are the days when children spun on their heads, rode round the garden on their bikes and counted making putrid perfume from dead rose petals as the highlight of the week. This is the era of summer 'maxxing' and, boy, is it competitive.

'Oh, us? We've got no plans,' is the usual line you'll hear from the worst offenders but that's just to throw you off the scent. In fact, they've booked six weeks of solid action, kicking off with netball and football camp, followed by work experience at the godparent's City bank, a fortnight in a five-star hotel in Greece plus a week in Cornwall for good measure.

Woven around all that are the playdates, swim meets and the days out: Thorpe Park, Legoland, Alton Towers, the cinema, the bowling alley, the climbing wall, the bike track - with a slushie at every stop. The summer wasteland of yesteryear has died a death. But, looking back, those were the good old days.

We were bored witless at times, which gave our imagination chance to run riot.

My mother will tell you I was a strange child who played make-believe in my bedroom for hours, running a post office (I was customer and postmaster) and marrying off a Sindy doll to handsome Ken for the 700th time, while my older sister tried to sabotage the wedding by cutting up the bride's clothes and dyeing her hair.

This slow forensic torture of me, was, in fact, my sister's main summer hobby.

Did we have days out? Sometimes. But our natural stomping ground in the Eighties was home-grown fun and it was blissful even if laced with doll drama and sibling warfare.

Fast-forward to today and my children are 19, 17 and 14,

by Annie Hayes

which means I've done 19 of these summers - and still find myself made to feel a failure by my lack of summer activities.

Exposure to your shortcomings is only sharpened by social media. There they all are, the 'we're not really doing much' brigade: 'Day 18 of the summer holidays!' reads the caption beneath a photo of the children having surfing lessons in Croyds. She's not bragging, you understand. She's social-maxxing.

I did once take my children on a proper day out, coastering in Devon with family friends. One of the mothers couldn't cope with the fact that the moment wasn't being documented for Brag-gram as we had to leave our phones at the store.

She swam to a neighbouring boat, hailed a stranger clutching an iPhone, and persuaded her to take the snaps and send them to her. Our collective dive was then 'spontaneously' captured on film, while we all beamed on cue.

BUT it's not enough to have days out, they must have an educational bent or be a way to craft a skill. Forest school, to learn names of edible plants, Pottery, for 'mindfulness', and Baby Mandarin because it's never too early. Even a trip to the beach must yield a 'marine ecology project', the child made to catalogue rock pool crabs when all he wants is a ham sandwich full of sand.

And it doesn't stop when they hit the teenage years, as mine have. The restorative, Kevin-like coma - sleeping until midday, then gaming until dark - has been abolished.

These teens must be at work experience at a law firm with Daddy's friend of a friend of a friend, who owed him a favour. They're there at 6am in a suit, experiencing work - or work is

experiencing them. After that their phone is confiscated as they're made to stomp round the Lake District with a rucksack and a map for a week, with not a day's grace between the mountains and office - Mummy hasn't scheduled a gap because a gap would be wasteful.

Then it's a lightning tour to see Marissa and Henry in north Cornwall, followed by south Devon, followed by south Suffolk, followed by north Norfolk for regatta week. Beach cricket is obligatory; school-branded hoodie non-negotiable as you leap into a boat clutching your freshly-made crab sandwich.

Back home, the younger sibling is working through Mummy's summer timetable, colour-coded by day and activity.

Monday is French, Tuesday junior triathlon. These are the filler weeks before the en famille fortnight in Greece with two other families, where there are kids' clubs at the hotel - because heaven forbid children spend two weeks underwater pretending to be mermaids.

Ideally, they'll emerge with a certificate of some description, proof that they maxed their stay and were both the most popular and the most accomplished child by the pool.

In these households, they never, ever say they are 'bored' - the word isn't in the family vocabulary. Their CVs are 'grad-scheme-ready' by puberty.

As for my own, I don't know where they are or what they're doing. I've told them they need summer jobs - not for advancement but to fund their lives. If they walk the dog that's a bonus, but they're too busy with their priorities: sleeping, floorrobe-building and professional fridge-foraging.

If they're doing none of the above, they'll be found, as I once was, drifting through a glorious stretch of nothingness, eating an ancient ice cream from the bottom of the freezer and pairing up odd socks for one glinting moment of 'household duties'.

That's the only maxxing they'll be doing this vacay. Feral. Free. And joyfully so.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE

women have sworn by for centuries - something I discovered for myself when I moved to France 25 years ago.

I quickly noticed, somewhere between the cheese course and second glass of Languedoc red, that I had lost weight without trying. In fact, from a starting weight of about 8s1 when I arrived in the town of Pézenas in the south of France in my 30s, I lost 11lb within 12 months and settled at my present trim 56 kilos, or 8st 11lb on my 5ft fin frame.

I'm now 60 but weigh almost exactly what I weighed when I was at university.

Friends from England who came to stay in those first few years asked me how it's even possible to lose weight while living in a country that makes the world's greatest wines and where breakfast for most of the population consists of a crescent-shaped pastry made mainly from butter.

It's a good question. In the early 1990s, scientists identified what they called the French Paradox. Despite eating masses or runny cheese - did I mention the 246 varieties of cheese here? - kilos of pâté and fine gras, drinking generous amounts of alcohol and smoking with considerable enthusiasm, the French were far less likely to die of heart disease than their counterparts in the US or northern Europe.

They also suffered less from bowel cancer and circulatory problems and had fewer cases of osteoporosis.

The standard response to this paradox is to point to the Mediterranean diet and more specifically red wine - made from grapes that contain a substance called resveratrol with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties - olive oil and fresh fruit and vegetables.

Of course, these are all important factors. But there is more to it. It's not just about what the French eat. It is how they eat it.

Many of you are no doubt heading to the south of France this summer, perhaps to Provence or the Dordogne. So this is your chance to try out my exclusive 'go on holiday, eat like a Frenchwoman and lose weight' diet.

I have been doing it for more than two decades, while still enjoying those indulgent pastries, rich sauces and gorgeous wines.

Indeed the really good news about my diet is that it's not really a diet at all; it's simply the way people in this part of the world have always eaten. Olive oil at every opportunity. Fish above red meat. Tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines, peppers, the 'légumes du soleil' that form the backbone of Provençal cooking.

Wine drunk with food rather than the British way, which is instead of it (and if you are worried about wine being fattening: a medium glass of red has around 140 calories, which is roughly the same as a handful of almonds and arguably just as good for you).

The goal isn't really to be thin, that's just a pleasing side-effect. The aim is être bien dans sa peau, to be comfortable in your own skin.

French women are not, in general, chasing a number on the scales. They want to feel good, carry themselves well and enjoy their food without guilt.

It is a subtly different ambition from the one most diets are ped-

dling and, as a result, is far more achievable and enjoyable.

Every summer, I eat bread, drink wine, linger over long lunches with friends in the garden, help myself to cheese, and by September, I feel better in my body than at any other point in the year.

No gym, no calorie-counting, no planning. What's more, these are good habits you can easily continue at home too. So here's my guide to the no-diet diet for summer living.

NEVER EAT UNLESS YOU'RE AT A TABLE

THE first thing I noticed when we moved here in 2000 was that not sitting down to eat as a family was viewed as at best foreign, and by some downright weird.

The French eat at a table, never on the move. They sit down, en famille, and enjoy their food in a leisurely and relaxed manner.

This means you chew your food properly, which has the double effect of giving your stomach time to send 'I have eaten enough' messages to your brain and helping you to digest your meal.

Where I live, everything except the big supermarkets closes between midday and 2pm so that everyone can enjoy lunch. Snacking between meals is not really done. In short, only eat while you're seated at a table.

DITCH THE BIG SUPERMARKET SHOP

THERE is still the tradition here of shopping for the day, whether it's at the local market or the supermarket. You come back with produce to prepare and eat on the day.

This means you never touch pre-packaged ready meals, which are not only unhealthy but also less satisfying, leaving you hungry and reaching for more.

This daily shopping can, of course, be time-consuming. Heaven forbid you get stuck behind someone at the butcher's discussing the relative benefits of pâté de canard versus mousse de canard.

But it's also sociable and in France the food shopping is done just as much by the man of the house as the woman, another habit to bring back from your holiday!

SEX UP YOUR SALADS FOR EXTRA TASTE

EAT as many greens as you can. If

I moved to France and got slim without trying. Now I'm 60 and weigh exactly the same as I did in my 20s

you're unsure what to have as a starter in a restaurant, adopt the well-known French women's trick of ordering a green salad. The dressing will be delicious and you can add some parmesan shavings to sex it up. Salads are never boring here. Think melted goat's cheese with a honey and olive oil dressing. And while we're on the subject of olive oil, a wonderfully healthy breakfast option is Greek yoghurt with honey and super high quality virgin olive oil.

I used to drink a teaspoon of olive oil every day, which was good for me but tasted awful. Now I just pour it on to my yoghurt, which is far tastier. It might sound strange but trust me, the combination of the sweet honey with the tangy oil and creamy yoghurt is magnificent.

ALWAYS EAT LESS BUT BETTER

COCO Chanel said, 'Elegance is refusal.' Always go for quality, not quantity. A small piece of top-quality dark chocolate is much more satisfying than an entire bar of something sickly sweet. The same logic applies to cheese, wine, bread - everything. Eat less of better things. There really is no reason to have too much of anything. We all eat more than we need to.

I remember talking to the super-chic, model and style icon Ines de la Fressange about this in the 2000s when I was researching my book about French women and asking her how she stayed so slim (especially considering her favourite snack is a Crunchie bar).

'I simply stop eating when I'm not hungry,' she told me, which might sound obvious, but do you do it? Take a moment next time you're about to reach for another

piece of bread or cheese and ask yourself if you're still hungry or just eating for the sake of it.

DON'T ORDER ANOTHER BOTTLE AFTER PLATES HAVE BEEN CLEARED!

THE little but better rule applies to wine, too. French women drink wine before meals (the apéro, and usually only one glass) and during meals. Never after.

They do not, like English women often do, call for another bottle to round off a meal.

They might have a tissue, a herbal infusion, but never more booze. This not only cuts the calories from the extra alcohol but also stops you ordering that extra chocolate mousse your fourth glass of wine convinces you that you need.

There's a quick cheat here, too. If I ever feel like I'm edging north of my ideal weight, I just give up booze and bread for a fortnight and I immediately lose a

kilo or two. That's it: no app, no plan, no calorie-counting.

BIG UP YOUR PROTEIN INTAKE FRENCH-STYLE

THE French adopted doing the latest healthy regimes long before they became trendy. Among the dominant trends of

FOTOLY'S MARKIN / GETTY IMAGES/ALAMY

2026 is protein-maxing. This involves maximizing protein intake at every meal to rev up metabolism and increase feelings of satiety.

You can still eat carbohydrates, fruit, dairy - whatever you like - as long as you're hitting high protein targets (typically 1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram of body weight per day).

The focus is on body composition, more muscle, less fat and keeping hunger at bay.

This diet grew out of gym and bodybuilding culture and has gone mainstream largely through social media - but it's not new to the French. With their fish, their eggs, their charcuterie at almost every meal, they have never been short of protein.

They just don't feel the need to label it.

GIVE THE 30/30/30 TREND A FRENCH TWIST

THE 30/30/30 method - 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking, followed by 30 minutes of low-intensity movement - is another big trend right now.

The scientific argument is that it stabilises blood sugar and reduces cravings throughout the day, but it's also deeply ingrained in the French lifestyle: just swap the protein shake for two eggs and some smoked salmon and follow it with a morning stroll beside the river or on the beach.

EMBRACE EATING - AND TAKE IT SERIOUSLY

ALL of these approaches - 30/30/30, protein maxing - are really variations on a theme the French have been living quietly for generations: eat real food, prioritise quality protein, don't overdo the carbohydrates and move your body without making a fuss about it.

None of these new health fads are wrong per se - but they all require effort, planning and a degree of self-denial that the French would find faintly ridiculous. The rather wonderful truth is that you don't need a diet at all if you do it their way.

The French gastronome Brillat-Savarin wrote: 'Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.' Two hundred years on, that is still the most honest diet advice available.

The French have not discovered a secret. They have simply held on to something the rest of Europe lost during the industrial revolution, the idea that eating is a pleasure to be taken seriously, not a problem to be managed.

Processed food and ready meals have no place in their thinking. There is no single rule. It is more of an attitude, a collection of habits so deeply ingrained that French women barely even notice them.

But spell them out and they are remarkably easy to follow.

Wherever you live, or wherever you're heading on holiday, the most effective and least painful way to go into the summer looking your best is to eat (and drink) like a Frenchwoman.

Daily Mail, Monday, July 27, 2025

AFTER a few weeks of feeling increasingly nauseous, I went to the GP for some blood tests. The next day, they called with frightening news: I had high calcium levels.

Elevated calcium can be dangerous. It can signify health problems such as parathyroid issues, and, if untreated, may cause even more, such as kidney stones and issues with bones, the heart and the brain.

Thankfully, in my case, the explanation was simple. You see, in addition to the multitude of supplements already on my desk – omega 3, collagen, probiotics, magnesium, a B vitamin complex – I had been taking a daily high-dose calcium tablet for a few months in the hope of boosting my bone density.

After that call from the GP, I stopped taking the calcium, the nausea and kidney pain subsided and, a week later, a second blood test came back normal.

As a health writer, I am slightly ashamed. But, like millions of others, I'd fallen prey to the latest health trend.

There are two especially alarming supplement-related fads. "Vitamin maxxing" is a social media trend encouraging people to take large doses of supplements in pursuit of optimal health – as with me and my calcium.

Then there's 'supplement stacking', where they are consumed in a specific combination to improve immunity, gut health, sleep, energy and ageing.

According to a Which? survey, three quarters of UK adults take supplements and around one in six of us take four or more a day.

WE are bombarded by influencers explaining why taking a handful of pills is a smart thing to do, but respected industry voices are increasingly concerned about the safety of taking masses of supplements or high doses of them.

'Many supplement stacks are based on social media trends, influencer recommendations or anecdotal reports rather than robust clinical evidence,' says Dr Emma Derbyshire, a public health nutritionist from the Health and Food Supplements Information Service (hss.org).

She said there was a risk such sources 'oversimplify nutrition' by suggesting more vitamins 'automatically equate to greater health'.

My situation was slightly com-

plex but hardly unique. Following cancer treatment in 2023, I had infusions called zoledronic acid (bisphosphonates) to boost bone density. After each infusion I was prescribed calcium for a month.

As I also have a family history of osteoporosis, I bought my own calcium to take after that supply ran out. I was doing my best to improve my bone health.

In fact, tests revealed that my calcium level is naturally high and by upping my intake I had pushed it up too much.

I wasn't even taking super high levels. The NHS says adults need 700mg of calcium a day and doesn't recommend taking more

than 1500mg. As my supplement was 1000mg, I was within the limits, but as I already had high levels, it made me very unwell.

And too much of anything can be dangerous. 'Excessive vitamin A intake has been linked to liver toxicity and an increased risk of fractures, while chronic high doses of vitamin B6 can lead to nerve damage,' says Dr Megan Rossi (thepulhealthdoctor.com).

There can be negative interactions between supplements as well as between supplements and medications. 'One client complained of bloating, digestive discomfort and nausea,' says Emma Bardwell, nutritionist and author of The 30g Plan Cookbook.

'We reviewed her supplement stack and she was taking a multivitamin, a greens powder, magnesium, a hair and nail supplement, collagen, a probiotic and several random wellness powders she'd

discovered through social media.' After getting rid of most of the supplements, her issues resolved.

Bardwell says this is by no means uncommon. 'I've seen people unknowingly double or triple up on the same ingredients by taking a multivitamin alongside individual supplements, powders and wellness products,' she says. 'It's vital to check how much you're consuming.'

A further problem is that many neglect diet in favour of massive doses of vitamins. 'I call this the 'health halo' effect,' says Dr Rossi. 'People become so focused on finding the perfect supplement stack they overlook lifestyle habits, such as eating a diverse, fibre-rich diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep and managing stress. This will have a far greater impact on long-term health than adding another capsule.'

So, what's the solution? In May, I attended the Oxford Longevity

Project summit. Speakers overwhelmingly were in favour of lifestyle factors such as an unprocessed food diet, exercise, sleep, stress management and social relationships. Not one of the eminent professors or scientists suggested indiscriminate use of high dose supplements is a good idea.

BUT they said that there's a place for evidence-based supplementation. Dr Derbyshire points out that we are a nation struggling with vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

A report by HSIS, which represents health-food manufacturers, showed we have significant shortfalls in vital nutrients such as Vitamin D, calcium, iron, potassium, selenium and Omega-3 fatty acids.

'To help bridge these gaps, a multivitamin and multi-mineral supplement is a useful nutritional safety net alongside a balanced diet,' she suggests. But that's just one a day, not ten a day.

Bardwell emphasises that supplements are – obviously – just supplements, and that our diet should provide most nutrients.

Now I just take vitamin D and collagen. I focus far more on diet: fibre, lean protein and a wide range of fruit and veg, and strength training three times a week to maintain bone density.

It turns out the secret to feeling better and maximising my health wasn't at the bottom of a pot.

As the sun rose above the ancient temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, its ornate towers silhouetted against the brightening dawn, I felt my heart soar. It was a moment of pure delight that most people would surely want to share with a loved one. But I was all alone, backpacking solo in south-east Asia – and I couldn't be happier.

I breathed a deep sigh of contentment and watched the rosy sky turn golden.

This solo adventure two years ago wasn't during a gap year after school or university. Neither was it a post-divorce journey of self-discovery a is Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. I was 52 and a happily married mother of four, yet here I was, in the middle of a month spent travelling by myself across Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.

Since then I have visited Krakow, in Poland, and toured Auschwitz alone, and most recently spent a month solo in Guatemala, Mexico and Colombia.

When it comes to holidays, I firmly believe that hell is other people. With the summer in full swing, you may shortly be heading off to sandy beaches, azure pools and bottomless cocktails –

Family trips are more like a military exercise than a break

and I hope you have a wonderful time, but the truth is, you may well not. The reality rarely lives up to the fantasy – not if you have children anyway.

Family holidays are more like a military exercise than a break. From trying to entertain toddlers in baking heat next to an unguarded pool, to attempting to find something to do or see that teenagers won't moan about, it's never the relaxing break parents crave.

Going away with my girlfriends isn't much better. My annual trip with four school mums starts with a fraught WhatsApp chat wrangling over first destination and then flights and accommodation. Not easy when some have champagne tastes and others like to save the pennies.

Then there are the tense negotiations about whether we go to art galleries or out clubbing, whether we take a taxi or public transport and whether it is acceptable to crack open the prosecco before noon. Actually, I tell a lie; we are all agreed on the last one – there's no such thing as too early for fizz on holiday.

I can't believe it took me 50 years to work out the secret to a great holiday. Going it alone. Trust me, it's the only way to get some peace.

It wasn't something I had considered before. Solo travel felt like something you did as an intrepid youngster; with a back strong enough to carry your bag and standards low enough to accept sleeping in a hostel bunkbed.

But then came my very own

Great getaway: Ursula on her travels in Battambang, Cambodia, left, and Tikal, Guatemala

My secret for a perfect holiday?

Leave your husband and kids at home!

annus horribilis in 2024. My sons, Jacob, now 22, Max, now 20, and twins Zach and Jonah, now 17, were growing up fast and I could feel the empty nest looming.

My husband hated his job and had been depressed for the past couple of years. My ageing parents needed help, not least with moving my father into a care home after a fall, which is a miserable and stressful experience.

My mental health was suffering, which led to me losing my six-figure job in the City, as a director in an insurance company. Not ideal when you're the main breadwinner, I was close to rock bottom.

That's when I decided that I needed to escape. When I booked my ticket to Hanoi, I paid on Avios I'd built up through work and splurged on a business-class return. I was utterly terrified at the prospect.

I had never been anywhere alone, and I was used to my husband handling all the logistics of our travels. Honestly? I wasn't sure I could handle the trip alone – and yet I knew I had to get away. Most of my friends were horrified when I told them my plan. They would never leave husbands and children to fend for themselves while they went off on a jolly, they insisted.

Some thought the whole idea was terrifying or just didn't like the idea of so much time alone, but I know others were secretly very envious too.

The trouble is so many married mums in their 50s lose their sense of self and a lot of confidence along with that. I know I had.

After years of worrying about their children, that anxiety seeps into their identity and everything can become frightening. We also believe it is our job to hold the fort and keep everything together, convinced that without us the whole family will fall apart.

Being asked repeatedly why I wanted to travel alone also made me feel like a bad wife for leaving my husband behind.

In fact, to a person, everyone I told then immediately asked me what my husband thought of it – as if I was either rejecting him or required his permission to go. I don't think this would have hap-

pened if he had been the one proposing a big solo trip.

I did wonder if it meant I loved him a bit less because I was so desperate to do something for myself rather than as half of a couple. But in fact it was only his unwavering reassurance that got me on to the plane.

He understood that after years of coping with his depression, along with being a full-time working mum, I deserved this time for myself.

He also knew what a blow losing my job had been to my self-confidence and that it was important to prove to myself that I was still a strong, capable woman.

That isn't to say I didn't feel guilty leaving him behind. I'd been away for work in the past, but never for as long as a month.

At the airport, I was shaking as I walked through security. I almost turned around and went home. By the time I landed in Vietnam it was all I could do to get to my hotel. Immediately I called home – and then shed a few tears.

It took me a few days to get into

the swing of solo travel. The hardest thing was eating out. I had never eaten in a restaurant alone and I felt very self-conscious, but I grew to love sitting there with a book, surreptitiously people-watching. The most delicious thing about solo travel is that there is only one person you have to please – yourself.

Getting up when I wanted to, only doing the things I wanted to do and eating when and where I wanted was delightful. The other huge upside was meeting new people. When you are with friends or family it's hard to get chatting to strangers. When I am on my own, I meet all sorts.

On my recent trip to Latin America, I teamed up with a gay physio from LA to hike a volcano in Antigua; shared cocktails with two septuagenarians in Mexico City, who told me tales of being career women in the 1980s; and ate tacos with the wife of one of the most famous script-writers in the US.

In Cambodia I was bought dinner by a Chinese entrepreneur who had befriended a Japanese divorcee I'd met on my tour of Angkor Wat. And in Vietnam I went kayaking with a Scottish nurse who was the same age as my eldest son. I would never have had these adventures with the family in tow.

Coming home was a shock. Of course I had missed my husband and family enormously, but I'd

Solo travel should be on NHS for every mid-life mum

got used to only taking care of myself. At home I was instantly back into the grind of caring for a large family.

I also felt a bit put out by the way everyone had coped so well without me. There was a part of me that was a bit disappointed that I wasn't as pivotal to the functioning of the family as I'd imagined.

Then again that did make me feel much more confident about booking more solo adventures, as I'd proven they could all manage without mum.

While I am a huge convert to solo travel, I do still take trips with the family. In fact, I think it has made me more determined to share my travel addiction.

I took my husband and twins, Zach and Jonah, to Malaysia in 2025. It was so rewarding to make memories together. Now Zach and I share the dream to become one of the teams on the TV show Race Across The World.

That said I believe that solo travel should be dispensed on the NHS for every mid-life married mum. It's better than all the HRT and therapy in the world to boost your confidence and remind you how strong you are. I am evangelical about it.

After all the sacrifices we have made, we deserve to have some adventures and I promise you they are all the more delightful when they're enjoyed alone.

HOW TO DRESS LIKE A GROWN UP

Shane Watson

HERE'S something you don't hear every day. This summer's most useful accessory, the item that will make the everyday instantly stylish, is one you already own.

It's in a drawer, maybe with a lavender bag. It's plain, it's wool, it is (drum roll) the humble crew-neck, long-sleeved sweater.

For now you're not putting your arms in the sleeves. Or your head through the neck hole (it's summer after all and this sweater has been repurposed until further notice).

We're calling it the sling-around sweater (SAS for short) and it's the fastest route to anti-ageing your wardrobe, without spending a dime.

This is hardly a new idea. We know about slinging a sweater around our shoulders and the fashion front row have been at it for well over a year now.

But as of this summer the look has crossed over, from fancy styling flourish you see at the shows to mainstream fashion back.

What's more, it's both a cool styling trick and a practical assist that everyone can join in with. We wouldn't necessarily bother to wear our collars flicked up, or a shirt half in, half out - French tuck style - but the SAS feels natural, looks natural and, apart from being on the fashion bullseye, it really does make clothes more wearable.

If you're in the Fifty Plus category it could be the difference between going sleeveless or not.

Here's everything you need to know if you want to get the most out of the summer SAS...

1. YOUR SAS needs to be soft and light to medium weight. A chunky cable knit or hairy wool sweater will look too heavy in warmer weather and won't sling and drape elegantly.

YOU'RE also better with wool than cotton (more elegant) and a straight sweater is better than a cardigan: less messy.

2. WITH bare arms and a low neckline, you can wear your SAS simply draped down your back with the arms looped once across your chest. This gives you a little bit of extra coverage and adds another texture and colour (see actress Daisy Edgar-Jones arriving in Nice for the Cannes Film Festival in her white sleeveless sundress and beige SAS). She looked roughly 80 per cent more elegant, just like that.

3. THE SAS can act like a shawl without looking dowdy - as a shawl most definitely would on us. It softens the neckline of a smart tailored dress. Provides a hint of structure in the absence of a jacket, worn across the shoulders of a shirt.

And if you have the arms to wear a vest top, an SAS is useful for those occasions when you want a little bit more coverage.

4. CHOOSE any colour, so long

Pashminas are instantly ageing. Try this instead...

Super chic: Daisy Edgar-Jones arrives in Cannes

as it's plain and not pretty. An SAS can work as a punchy disruptor - a flare of unexpected colour in an otherwise minimal outfit; it can add a subtle extra tonal layer; or it can look chic doubled up with a T-shirt the same colour.

See Daisy Edgar-Jones, again during Cannes week, who looked super-chic wearing a grey wool T-shirt paired with a matching SAS, loose-fit white jeans and black pumps. Cream on white works well. Red with black is a current favourite fashion go-to. Grey is a grounding colour that will work into the winter with tweeds and checks.

5. CONSIDER slinging a sweater around your hips or waist. You might assume this is only going to add bulk where you least need it but, providing you stick with light, soft sweaters and you're averagely tall, it's a genuinely forgiving alternative to a belt.

A little black sweater tied loosely around the hips of a

pair of straight white jeans (a favourite Kendall Jenner look) adds smartness not inches. Wear it arms tied in front and draped over your bottom and it's a cover-up too, if that's what you fancy.

Otherwise, a little red sweater tied to one side around the waist of an LBD, or a midnight blue one slung around the waist of a jumpsuit to break up the silhouette. Perfect.

6. BEAR in mind that this is not a one-season-only look. Back in the spring, the fashion-forward were wearing sweaters draped over the lapels of their trench coats.

When the weather cools, or on breezy summer nights, the modern alternative to a pashmina or shawl (top of the instant-ager list) is an SAS worn over a buttoned-up khaki jacket or knotted at the throat of a blazer.

If there's an easier way to anti-age your summer look, I can't think of it.

THERE'S no such thing as the right body shape for the beach. There is, however, the right swimming costume, and this summer it's time to embrace bright colours.

Find a well-fitting, fun swimsuit and it will become the hardest-working item in your holiday wardrobe.

So stop hiding beneath that old black cossie that's practically transparent because it has been washed and worn so many times (I'm talking to myself here).

swimwear shopping that can throw even the most body-confident among us into the depths of despair. Order a few styles online and try them on in your own bedroom, away from the harsh lighting of the changing room. Although you need to love the

design, the fit is what really matters. When dry, a swimsuit should feel snug because it will relax and stretch in the water. If you're above a C cup, choose bra-sized swimwear rather than standard dress sizes for proper underwire and band support.

Adjustable straps are also worth paying extra for, while hidden support or under-bust elastic can make a huge difference. When it comes to shape, high-cut legs elongate the body, while lower-cut ones offer more coverage. Don't be afraid to try

styles that feel a little more revealing than you would usually choose. Dress to feel your best. Focus on what makes you feel comfortable. A confident swimmer always looks better than someone constantly adjusting their swimsuit.

I gave up alcohol and

FOR years, I associated female friendship with alcohol. Although Kate and I had been friends since we were five and didn't start drinking until a decade later, in many ways my relationship with her was inextricably linked to my relationship with booze.

We met at primary school and instantly

by Hetty Moorehead

became inseparable in the way that little girls do, in a romantic, monogamous way that I still find curious: eternal,

undying love for one person. As my parents' marriage collapsed, my friendship with Kate deepened.

Her family swept me up, something I gladly accepted, grateful for what I considered to be a normal family.

When my mother came to collect me, I'd dig my fingers into the palm of my hand and refuse to come downstairs.

"You're hurting yourself!" Kate would shriek. "Don't do that, it's scary."

In a strangely premonitory way, this was the first of many such conversations. Over time, we would both hurt each other.

Aged 11, we ended up going to different London schools but swore we would never find another best friend – and I think we meant it. We still spoke for hours on the telephone in the evenings and went riding together at the weekends.

But cracks were beginning to show: she was less available than she used to be. 'I'll get her to call you back,' her mother would say all too often.

But if there's one thing that will temporarily cement a relationship, it's alcohol, and we soon discovered its restorative charms.

Aged 15, I invited her over when my mother was out, an increas-

ingly frequent occurrence as she was about to remarry.

As teenagers, Kate and I frequently drank to excess. This was the late Nineties and early Noughties, a time when heavy drinking and feminism joined hands in the 'have it all' culture.

Getting smashed with other women was sold to us as evidence of hard-won equality. We too could have the heavy boozing friendships that were once the preserve of the men.

As best friends Sadie Frost and Kate Moss fell out of bars together and Sex And The City's Carrie Bradshaw turned up hungover to work, so did we.

"Bridget would," we used to laugh as we stole another bottle of my mother's wine and lit our 20th Marlboro Light of the evening in homage to our boozy

heroine Bridget Jones. We drank a lot for two teenagers – certainly well over the average: two bottles of wine between us whenever we met and more besides if we started drinking at lunchtime, which we often did.

We continued to drink our way through university, early jobs, dodgy living arrangements and even dodgier boyfriends.

Did I drink more than her? Not really, but the consequences on my life were far more profound.

I guess you could say we drank for different reasons: she for the light and the fun and me for the dark release of my demons.

I have thought long and hard about what alcohol does to female friendship and I still can't quite explain its strange alchemy.

Picture the scene: a snug in a pub or the clean minimalism of a wine bar where you settle down with a bottle of wine to catch up.

Quickly, alcohol accelerates the speed at which you give yourself

away and tell your darkest secrets. Alcohol makes you believe that your female companion is your emotional double.

Conversation is spattered with, 'Oh my God, yes, me too, that's exactly how I feel'. We expect a deep and pro-

By my late teens, I was already in the grip of alcoholism

found reciprocity from our female friends and alcohol undoubtedly eases the flow.

Yet this deeply confessional stream is as toxic as it is intoxicating. The fact is, alcohol creates a trick mirror. You can never see yourself in another person; believe me, I've tried.

I didn't know it at the time, but I had gone way past the Bridget Jones mark.

In hindsight, by my late teens I was already in the grip of an illness whose name I found repellent: alcoholism.

While other female friends would get up and go to work or lectures after a night of girls-together boozing, I could hardly move, lost in a depression that threatened to engulf me, my hands shaking so much I could hardly leave the house. I lost jobs, I lost all

THE problem with SPF is that it's not always a pleasure to use, so we don't necessarily reapply it as much as we should. Not so with this clever new release from Rituals. The creamy foam goes on really easily and stays.

It doesn't dribble everywhere like a milk, or disappear into the ether like a spray – so, I was confident I hadn't missed a bit.

To a sun-phobic woman like me, that's worth the punchy price tag.

self-respect, and, eventually, I lost many female friends.

Aged 25, I knew that something was wrong, but I was too

in love with alcohol to point the finger at it. Hadn't alcohol given me my friends and my sense of identity? I couldn't countenance

saying goodbye. Now a new narrative began - one that would change my life for ever. Kate, my ride or die, became

exasperated with me. 'I think you just need a night off,' she'd say as I told her about my depression. 'You don't have a drink problem.'

I framed my alcoholism as part of a depressive illness, but she thought I was exaggerating and told me to pull my socks up.

We were back in the old dynamic of victim and white knight forged as children when her parents had helped me. But I couldn't keep drinking just for her, could I?

On the day I went to my first AA meeting, I didn't dare tell Kate where I was.

A week earlier she had driven 50 miles to rescue me from a hangover, joking that what I really needed was a glass of wine and a lie down. I

smiled, but something in me had shifted.

As I broke away from booze, I broke away from her, too. That's the sorry truth of it. Scared of her reaction,

I dreaded telling her I had given up. On the day I announced the news to her, as we sat in a cafe, I felt as if I was asking her for a divorce.

'Can't you just drink sometimes?' she asked.

I didn't have the heart to tell her it was meant to be for good. Or maybe I hadn't woken up to that fact myself.

Throughout my first year of sobriety, as I stood sober at weddings and parties, she crowed to assembled

groups 'that I used to be such fun'. I laughed but inside felt the pain of loss, of my old self and her friendship.

When I had a year sober, friends

took me out to brunch; she wasn't one of them.

At my wedding, I watched her drinking champagne across a crowded room and felt as if she couldn't be further away from me if she tried. I can't put my finger on a single instance when the friendship came undone. But as I began a new life in recovery, our poles simply moved apart.

I made sure not to arrange things with her on a Sunday when she might be hungover and I'm sure she stopped telling me things that had happened on nights out.

We went from being in each other's pockets to the occasional midweek dinner and then, imperceptibly, to nothing at all.

Over the 15 years I have now been sober, I have had to accept that some friendships - particularly the formative ones built on the foundations of alcohol - can't withstand the emotional earthquake of sobriety.

To many of those you used to drink with, getting sober is

an act of betrayal or an implicit criticism of their habits. Nobody likes to feel the spotlight of sanctimony upon them, and I truly can understand that. Happily,

not everyone sees it this way. The old girlfriends I have kept from childhood tell me they can't remember the person I was when I drank.

The new friends I have made from motherhood tell me it never occurred to them to ask why I don't drink.

I used to think about Kate a lot, imagining scenarios where our lives might come together again. But I'm not sure she would even recognise me now. Fifteen years is a long time and I am a different person. We all are.

It comes in ten flavours - from Mango to Matcha, but I tried it in Sweet Candy. It is probably not the most elegant, but it tasted great and kept my lips hydrated, glossy and sand-free when the wind kicked in. The make-up equivalent of a pair of jelly shoes for the beach.

PERS Cleansing Gel, £40 (johnbell croyden.co.uk) THE late French aesthetics doctor Antoni Calmon created this product to make sure you remove every trace of retinol from your night cream before going out in the sun. I wasn't using any 'actives' while basking in 29C, but I wanted to make sure I got every trace of SPF off at night. This did the job brilliantly, without leaving my skin feeling tight.

SVR Palpebral Balm, £18 (the french pharmacy.com) I USED half a jar of this absolutely brilliant mask in a week. A super-gentle, rehydration balm, this was designed for eczema-prone skin and soothes redness, irritation and calms itching. I'm lucky enough not to suffer, but my sun-sand-salt-filled face still lapped this up. Oh, and it smelt like a bounty bar.

Nuze Huile Prodigieuse Multi-purpose Dry Oil, £19.50 (nuze.com) I'VE used this French classic for decades as the dry oil sinks into my hair and skin like a dream, with no oily finish. It is the scent of holidays to me.

DR MAX THE MIND DOCTOR

Let NHS psychiatrist Max Pemberton transform your life

What I wish everyone knew about rise of type 2 diabetes

WHEN I was a medical student, type 2 diabetes was thought of as a 'later-life' disease, one that typically affected those in their 60s and 70s.

Many people today, some doctors included, still picture type 2 as something that catches up with you in midlife.

Yet figures published last week found a 'worrying increase' in women in their 20s developing the condition.

Researchers at Imperial College London, who analysed NHS data between 2011 and 2024, found a 69 per cent increase in new diagnoses of type 2 in women aged 20-29.

The rise in young men of the same age was 43 per cent, so the overall trend for more cases of type 2 in young people seems to be driven by women.

Type 2 diabetes develops when your body stops responding to, or producing enough of, the hormone insulin, causing blood sugar levels to rise.

Now I have no wish to alarm or shame anybody, but many people are very vague about this disease – and long-term complications can be very serious. They include damage to blood vessels leading to heart

disease and stroke, foot problems such as ulcers and infections and sight problems including diabetic retinopathy and even blindness.

And developing it at 25 is not a milder version of developing it at 65.

A diagnosis in your 20s means 40 or 50 years of raised blood sugar during this time, the damage builds quietly and gradually in the small vessels of the eyes and kidneys, in the nerves of the feet and in the arteries of the heart.

Diabetes UK calculates that every week in this country, type 2 diabetes leads to 184 amputations, more than 1,010 strokes, 700 heart attacks and 3,340 cases of heart failure.

What troubles me most is how quietly it arrives. A thirst that never settles, going to the loo

more often, tiredness that a good night's sleep doesn't shift, blurred vision or cuts that take an age to heal can all be subtle ways type 2 signals its arrival.

Every one of these symptoms can be so easily attributed to stress or simply being run off your feet.

And this is where that old assumption is so damaging. A woman of 25 with those symptoms is unlikely to think of diabetes. I have lost count of the patients who have told me that they had felt 'off' and put it down to the stress of work

for the best part of a year before finally being diagnosed.

So what are the signs you need to look out for? Women should be alert to recurrent episodes of thrush and repeated urinary infections. Both conditions are miserably common of course, but you should take repeated episodes seriously as they can also be early consequences of raised sugar levels in the urine (as these can encourage bacteria to grow more easily).

Polycystic ovary syndrome and gestational diabetes also mean a raised risk of type 2 and tend to be picked up in this age group. Type 2 is also increasingly linked to obesity and lifestyle factors.

The rising number of young women (and men) who are overweight plays a major role in this spike in diagnoses. This is not

because of a lack will power, but because the environment we live in has profoundly changed.

Most of the food within easy reach has been specifically designed to make you consume a great deal of it very quickly – and it can arrive on your doorstep within 20 minutes of being ordered, without even needing a trip to the shops.

But there is more hopeful news, too. Type 2 diabetes can be reversed – as the groundbreaking DiRECT trial demonstrated – and this is easier for a younger person to do than an older one.

In the 2018 DiRECT trial, 46 per cent of the volunteers who had been newly diagnosed with type 2 put the condition into remission within a year following a low-calorie soup and shakes diet for up to five months.

This meant their blood sugar levels had returned to normal and they did not require medication. Success rates were closely linked to the amount of weight lost: 57 per cent of those who lost between 10kg and 15kg reversed their type 2.

This 'soup and shakes' programme now forms the basis of the NHS's effective Type 2

Diabetes Pathway to Remission programme. So if you are worried about a daughter or a granddaughter, don't start with a lecture about her diet.

We all know that approach rarely works. Instead, ask her when she last had a blood test.

The charity Diabetes UK also has a helpful free online risk score that takes a couple of minutes to complete and a simple blood test at the GP will give a definite answer.

Caught in time, this is one of the few serious diseases that can still be pushed back – and that's easiest to do at exactly the age many of us still overlook.

Why I worry for Harper

HARPER Beckham turned 15 a fortnight ago and, even with her GCSEs ahead of her, is said to be preparing to launch a skincare range called Harlo by Harper, aimed at teenagers with acne-prone skin.

Her name was registered as a trademark when she was only five.

This reminded me of the statement her older brother posted on Instagram earlier this year about the paramount importance of Brand Beckham to his family. In it, Brooklyn said that affection was measured by how much you posted. His parents never publicly commented and I have no idea if this a fair account.

However, it is a description of a particular sort of childhood that I immediately recognise having seen it in my patients.

Children work out very early what earns them warmth. If approval appears to hinge on what they produce, they turn into adults who are marvellous at delivering what is required of them, but are never sure if they are loved or merely useful.

■ THOUSANDS of people with multiple sclerosis in England became eligible last week for a tablet that may help them to walk again. Pampridine works by helping electrical messages to bypass sections of nerve damaged by MS. In trials it improved the walking speed in 43 per cent of patients by around a quarter. NHS England reckons it will benefit 5,000 people in the first year alone. Yet the drug has been available on the NHS in Wales since 2019, in Scotland since 2020 and in Northern Ireland since 2023. NICE rejected it for England in 2022, deeming it poor value for money. What changed last week wasn't the science, it was the price as the patent had expired.

DR MAX PRESCRIBES... SLICED BREAD ON RADIO 4

I'M often asked by patients whether some health gadget or

supplement they've seen advertised is worth the money – often I have to

admit I don't know. So I am delighted to see that Greg Foot's brilliant Radio 4 series is back this month to evaluate just

this. The programme asks leading researchers in the field to examine products suggested by listeners in a polite but relentless quest to see if

the evidence holds up. The programme is worth an hour of anyone's week. It could save you from poor purchases.

BORDER FORCE

Dover 24/7: Britain's Busiest Port, 8pm, Ch4

OUR ports are quite unique places to work, a logistical gateway for freight and people which the UK relies upon and where Border Force officers (such as Gary pictured) need to be vigilant for smugglers and criminal gangs. Tonight, they pull over a lorry with contraband stuffed inside its tyres. And then, there's the weather, which causes a cruise ship to be blown off course in Storm Amy's winds.

EMERGENCY CASES

24 Hours In A&E, 9pm, Ch4

ANOTHER hectic shift in the Accident and Emergency department of Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, one of the busiest A&E departments in Europe. Tonight, we follow the treatment of a 23-year-old injured in a riding accident when she fell off her horse, while another man has had a suspected stroke.

EVOLUTION, 9PM, BBC2

FOR this third episode, Chris Packham (pictured right) has ventured into the incredible Gomantong Caves in Borneo, Malaysia, where he shines his torch high up the towering walls to reveal that they are encrusted with hundreds and thousands

of bats — a creature he declares to be one of evolution's weirdest creations. They are, of course, the only mammals that can fly, thanks to their elongated finger bones covered in skin, and can navigate in the dark with ultrasonic clicks. But bats also have a phenomenal

appetite in order to fuel their swirling nocturnal flight, devouring over half their bodyweight in tiny insects each and every night. Packham reveals what drives their need to feed, and the story begins in the tranquil underwater ecosystem of the Ediacaran period that gave rise to complex life more than half a million years ago. The story of food is also the story of digestion, and what comes in must come out. It's much more interesting than it sounds. All five episodes of this fascinating series, featuring the evolutionary stories of the elephant, the ostrich, the dolphin and the horse, are available on BBC iPlayer now.

KILLER DRAMA

The Crow Girl, 9pm, Ch5

THE Scandi-noir novels this series is based on run to a hefty 700-plus pages, and that means there's a lot going on. In this fourth of six episodes, the discovery of a new body reopens a cold case for Jeanette. As we build to the finale, you'll need to brace for a twist that will make you want to dive into series two (streaming on Paramount+).

REALITY SHOW

Secret Lives Of Gypsy Wives, 10pm, Ch4

TREWLEY'S social media career gets a boost from an official blue tick and a lucrative collaboration with an eyelash brand. Not all brands are happy to work with Trewley (pictured), who comes from a council estate, and swears — a lot. But this gypsy girl isn't going to change who she is.

▲ Particularly liable to offend

This anti-Christian BBC conspiracy drama is unconvincing and shoddy

AT THE last census, almost half the adults in England and Wales said they regarded themselves as Christian.

How damning it is, then, that the BBC — our state broadcaster, supposedly reflecting and representing our nation — seems to view Christianity as a bastion of anti-science outjobs and fundamentalists.

Sam Hazeldine plays a smarmy, creepy, US-style evangelist in The Rapture, who amasses followers by encouraging them to pray to a 'higher power' and 'come together in hope'.

His name is Leonard Krall and we know he's a villain because he talks about 'the so-called climate crisis' and says, 'They want to keep us in a doom loop. We can't just enjoy the sunshine. Apparently, we have to fear it.'

There's no greater sin in the BBC's eyes. Krall has a teenage daughter, Bethany (India Ria Amartejio), in a psychiatric hospital after apparently murdering her mother with a screwdriver.

Bethany is protesting her innocence, but not making life any easier for herself by behaving

BAD LUCK OF THE WEEKEND:

Two cheetahs braved a flooded river, in the climate change documentary Force Of Nature (ITV), and made it across alive despite marauding crocs. Then one of them ran slap into a fatal lion ambush. Some days, things just won't go right.

like a caricature of an obnoxious, arrogant teenager. She also has visions of the future, many of them with an emphasis on Biblical armageddon and the End of Days.

One she draws repeatedly is of Christ with half his face torn away. And lo, it comes to pass, after a freak storm wrecks the 90ft statue of Jesus overlooking Lisbon, the Santuario de Cristo Rey.

Would the Beeb make a similar drama about a Muslim imam, whose mentally ill daughter drew nightmarish images inspired by the Koran? Would it use CGI to imagine the destruction of an Islamic holy monument?

Rhetorical questions, of course. There'd be mobs on the streets.

In any case, no agent would ever ask an actor to appear in such a TV show. Can you imagine the phone call? 'Darling, I think I've found a lovely role for you in this new telly thing about Islam. Umm... how do you feel

The Rapture (BBC1) ★☆☆☆☆

about spending the rest of your life in hiding?

Fortunately for the cast of The Rapture, it isn't blasphemy to make shoddy, unconvincing conspiracy dramas, though this five-part series won't add lustre to anyone's CVs.

Ruth Madeley plays Dr Gabrielle Fox, a clinical psychologist returning to work after a car crash that killed her husband and left her a paraplegic. Bethany is one of her patients, and naturally the good doctor takes it upon herself to seek out new evidence.

I'm not sure why she's bothering — security at the hospital is so lax that Bethany is able to assault Gabrielle, steal a weapon and, later, escape into the grounds while the staff are distracted by their mobile phones.

The continuity between shots is equally wayward. Iwan Rheon plays a drunken journalist who, in three consecutive shots, is seen clutching a glass of red, then a notebook, then a glass of white. I blame global warming.

42 DIGITAL & ON DEMAND

Daily Mail, Monday, July 27, 2025

PICK OF DIGITAL & ON DEMAND TV

FURIOUS, DISNEY+

A FEMALE serial killer is targeting men in this dark and edgy thriller, and new FBI Agent Alice Black (Emmy Rossum, pictured) seems to be the only one who can catch her. That's the premise of Furious, the title of which hints at the righteous anger that drives the killer. Both leads are terrific – Rossum, who rose to fame on the US version of Shameless, gives Alice a simmering depth, while Northern Ireland's Lola Petticrew (Trespasses, Say Nothing) is on awards-worthy form in the showier role as the killer she's tracking. Writer

Elizabeth Meriwether has a history of writing strong TV shows about very different women, from chirpy sitcom New Girl with Zooey Deschanel to The Dropout, about corporate fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, and Dying For Sex, with kanhelle Williams as a woman rediscovering life after a cancer diagnosis. Furious feels like another intriguing entry in that CV. Eight episodes may feel like a lot for a cat-and-mouse story but, with talent like this behind and in front of the camera, it could become a mightily addictive ride.

FILM COMEDY DRAMA

Eleanor The Great, 2pm, Sky Premiere

SCARLETT Johansson's underrated directorial debut in charming, moving and anchored by a frequently hilarious performance from nonagenarian June Squibb (pictured). She plays Eleanor, a widowed, 94-year-old Jewish woman who moves from Florida to Manhattan to live with her daughter (Jessica Hecht) after her best friend Bessie dies. When she accidentally joins a Holocaust survivors' group while trying to find her

social feet, she winds up sharing Bessie's experience of the Holocaust as if it were her own. That leads down a tricky and tense path for her – and it's a tricky one for the story to navigate, too.

SPORTS COMEDY

The Dink, Apple TV

WASHED-up tennis prodigy Dusty Boyd (Jake Johnson) spends his days coaching ungrateful children at his father's country club. But that's not the full extent of his slide into the abyss – an injury means he is forced, in the name of rehab, to play pickleball.

Naturally, Dusty assumes he'll be great at it – but he soon gets a hilarious schooling from the older women who play the game, including his new partner, (Mary Sheenburgen). Watch out for some fun cameos from tennis legends Andy Roddick and John McEnroe.

CLASSIC CARS

Ant Anstead: Born Mechanic, 9pm, Quest

THE renovations on his parents' farmhouse must be expensive, because the mechanic is back for a new run of the series in which he raises funds for the project by fixing cars. He begins with a 1960 Austin Wesley Frogeye Sprite that comes with more than a little rust.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 COLD water swimmers will tell you that the worst part is the moment before getting in. The dread lasts far longer than the shock itself and pacing the edge only prolongs the discomfort. Something you have been circling needs the same treatment today. A conversation has been rehearsed enough. A commitment is now ready to be made. You do not need to feel ready. What feels uncomfortable will pass faster than you think. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle. Let your horoscope provide the answers - call 0965 789 0301*

TAURUS Apr 21 - May 21 NOBODY really enjoys opening bills but the longer we let them sit on the side the more they ramp up our anxiety levels. What are you avoiding because you imagine it to be too awful to look at? Which questions feel too heavy to ask? Sometimes the thing you fear can exert excessive power, simply because you haven't looked at it in the light of day yet. Being brave enough to face something like that today brings relief. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle. Let your horoscope provide the answers - call 0965 789 0302*

GEMINI May 22 - June 22 LETTING a misunderstanding remains uncorrected is not the same as telling a lie. But it can still have the same effect. It may not be your responsibility to rehang every crooked picture on another's wall but there are times when speaking up about what you have noticed is the noble thing to do. Somebody in your circle has had the wrong end of the stick for a while. Today offers a natural opening to set the record straight. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle. Let your horoscope provide the answers - call 0965 789 0303*

CANCER June 23 - July 23 KEEPING quiet about a decision to protect the people it affects can feel like kindness. But secrets have a habit of getting out. Choosing to share something now may make you feel vulnerable but naming the way you really feel allows for an honest response. Closeness and connection come through understanding but an upfront discussion or disclosure needs to come first

MOST of us are remarkably good at managing how things appear. We tend to overthink what we say or do according to how it might be perceived. We feel a social responsibility to keep certain feelings under wraps for the sake of the status quo. The Sun in Leo faces up to

Pluto today and whatever has been kept below the surface finds its way into the light. What emerges is revealing. An unexpectedly brave choice to communicate more truthfully will bring about a powerful and liberating change of pace.

LEO July 24 - Aug 23 FEEDBACK is a gift that rarely arrives wrapped with a pretty bow. Somebody close to you may hold up a mirror today and the reflection could catch you off guard. Before defending yourself, consider whether what is being said is really an attack on who you are - or if it is someone's way of letting you know how you are coming across.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23 A SMOKE alarm with a low battery always seems to start chirping at three in the morning. Something in your world has been hinting for a while that it needs to be sorted. You have a choice to make about whether you deal with this now or defer it again. Don't mistake a temporary silence for things being OK. Handling an issue properly today may require you to ask for help - but giving this your attention now will be worth it. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle.

LIBRA Sep 24 - Oct 23 BOATS are not kept steady by everybody sitting perfectly still. They are kept steady by weight being shifted as the conditions change. An arrangement in your life has become lopsided. One person carrying more, the other not noticing.

SCORPIO Oct 24 - Nov 22 COMMISSIONING a structural survey isn't fun. Once the floorboards come up there is no unseeing what lies beneath them. But a house cannot be made sound by ignorance. Something you have been afraid to examine is ready for inspection today. It's likely that what you find is more fixable than what your fears have suggested. Look properly at what you are dealing with and resist the urge to catastrophise. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle. Let your horoscope provide the answers - call 0965 789 0308*

SAGITARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21 CHANGING your mind is easy enough. Admitting out loud that you made a mistake is another matter entirely, especially when you once argued the

opposite with conviction. Somewhere in your world there is a position you no longer hold and people who still associate you with it. Today rewards the courage to update the record. Weathering a moment of eating humble pie is a small price to pay. People worth keeping will respect the honesty far more than the consistency. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle. Let your horoscope provide the answers - call 0965 789 0309*

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20 FEAR of failure gets all the attention, but fear of success is just as real. What offers are being left unanswered? Which opportunities are you examining for imagined flaws? If something bigger is being asked of you, hesitation does not mean you are wrong for the role. It means you understand what the role will require, which is exactly why you were asked. Talk it through with somebody who knows your capabilities rather than your doubts. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle. Let your horoscope provide the answers - call 0965 789 0310*

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19 ENGINE rooms suit certain people perfectly. The work matters, the systems hum and nobody expects a running commentary. But when things go wrong an explanation is required. Only the person on the floor can give it. Who do you trust to keep things running while you go up a level? No one understands what you have made better than you. Your unique expertise is not always easily translatable, but it's worth the effort now. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle. Let your horoscope provide the answers - call 0965 789 0311*

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20 PUTTING a price on your own work is hard. Sensitivity makes you brilliant at reading what other people need and terrible at invoicing them for it. Today, somebody may ask what you charge or what you want, and the answer needs to arrive without an apology. Discounting yourself does not make you kinder. It just teaches people to expect a reduced tariff. You don't need to chase after those who cannot afford to accept the terms you need. Life's mysteries don't have to be a puzzle.

Sculpt your hedges to perfection

Gtech Cordless Hedge Trimmer HT50

Gently trimming your hedge every 2 weeks will thicken it up and give it an incredible texture, but heavy trimmers, cables and step ladders make hedge trimming a job that some people hate. Gtech's Cordless HT50 makes hedge trimming a pleasure.

Cordless Convenience

With 60-minutes of runtime* move freely around your garden without being tethered by cables or worrying about messy petrol. Running off a high torque 18V motor, the HT50 Hedge Trimmer supplies the power directly when needed. The lightweight but super strong drive system is designed for refinement and quiet running, but don't be fooled – the precision, laser cut blades power through branches up to 25mm thick.

Long Reach

The Gtech HT50 Hedge Trimmer has an adjustable head that rotates through 135° so that you have full control over the cut of your hedge. The head adjusts downwards so you can cut the top of your hedge easily, and upwards so that you can cut thorny hedges without scratching your arms. Keep your hedges neat by cutting flat along the tops of hedges up to 10ft tall using the 50cm long blade. The precision blades power though foliage, leaving clean cut, healthy stems which will bud out to create a beautiful, rich textured hedge.

Perfectly Balanced

Weighing only 2.94kg and accompanied by the harness, you can move freely around your garden without feeling anchored down. The HT50 is well balanced giving you a more enjoyable gardening experience without worrying about the weight.

Safety First

To prevent any unexpected starts, the HT50 Hedge Trimmer has an easy to use safety switch. To operate simply press in the safety switch on the side of the handle whilst holding the one-handed power trigger. Simple to operate and safer than ever.

overpaying hero!

IT WAS heartening to read that 120 extremely wealthy individuals, including Gary Lineker, have co-signed a letter expressing a wish to pay more tax.

Notwithstanding that former BBC presenter Lineker gained an out-of-court settlement in a long-running legal dispute with HMRC over how much tax he should pay, anyone can make voluntary, unconditional dona- tions to the UK Government.

All that is needed from each of these no doubt well-intentioned super-rich people is a simple email to HM Treasury, signalling their intent to pay more – and, in the words of a song co-written by co-signatory Brian Eno, they could be heroes, just for one day.

STUART SWANN,

Swadlincote, Derbys

IT'S a poor show to mock a group of very rich people who are prepared to pay more tax.

Are we supposed to admire the ones who do anything they can to pay as little as possible?

J. GILMORE, Chelmsford, Essex

Poor persuader

THE spin now is that Keir Starmer was a really good prime minister but unable to get his point of view across.

WHY are we taxpayers being expected to fund a No. 10 North, mereally to satisfy the hubris and vanity of Andy Burnham?

The Daily Mail has disclosed that construction has yet to begin on the designated site in central Manchester and it is not expected to become operational until 2032, all at an 'eye-watering' cost, including for the provision of armed police protection.

at the calling of a General Elec- tion in 2029 at the latest. There are no guarantees that Burnham will still be in power then. Nor is it guaranteed that Labour will win the next General Election.

It is said that until then, Burn- ham, and presumably the 8,800 civil servants said to be needed to facilitate creating a No. 10 North workforce one day a week, will be working from offices in Heron House, Manchester.

So would it not make sense for this to be the permanent location of a No. 10 North?

Every past prime minister has been able to function from Down- ing Street. So how likely is it that any future PM will want to spend one day a week in Manchester?

Idylt: Mandy Childs's allotment by day and, Inset, with evening lights

Joy of a little plot of pleasure

FRED REDWOOD (Property Mail) is right about allotments – the image of old men in tatty cardies needs updating. People of all ages tend our allotments and each plot is unique. Some grow all veg, some flowers and fruit. I took mine on three years ago, when it was a wilderness of brambles. I wanted it to be both an allotment and a

garden – after toiling away for a few hours, planting, potting and doing the 101 jobs that always need doing, I wanted to relax, read a book or chat to passers by – hence my little garden area and its lights. I have night fruit trees too, plus tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, peas, herbs and flowers.

Cricket mystery

MY PARTNER just walked in and asked what I was watching on TV. I replied: 'Cricket 100.'

'Why is it called 100?' she asked.

I said: 'Each side gets 100 balls.'

'That's silly,' she replied. 'Surely

it should be 200.' I had no answer.

D. ELWORTHY, Heacham, Norfolk

Don't be so silly

DOES anyone else find it incredibly childish to keep referring to Andy Burnham as 'Eyelashes Andy'? For goodness sake!

As a Greater Manchester resident, I rated him an effective and capable mayor, even though I consider myself a Tory. And as a Northerner, I find comments about flat caps and the like need- lessly phobic.

IL DEBATE

Why release dangerous prisoners early?

ROBERT JENRICK of Reform says: 'Successive Tory and Labour Justice Secretaries failed to build enough prisons, which got us into this appalling mess.'

We already have a deplorable level of crime-solving, with police unable or unwilling to stop shoplifting, burglaries and muggings. If we deported the foreign criminal element in our prisons and started cleaning up our streets, perhaps the system could cope with our home-grown lowlife.

BY CAROLE HARRIS, Bridport, Dorset ANDY BURNHAM has said he will pause the early-release scheme while he reviews it.

It is the job of government to ensure there are sufficient prison places to

accommodate those whom the courts need to send into custody.

Those places must be available for the length of time the courts deem necessary, not that which the

government of the day deems expedient. The early-release scheme is nothing less than an obscene affront to justice.

C. MACDONALD, Bottenford, Leics

THE reason why we have too few prison places is that over 14 years, the tories closed more than 20 older prisons. When Labour took over in 2024, there were only 100 cells free. The probation service was part- privatised under the Coalition, too, and what a disaster that was.

KEITH UNWIN, Bar Hill, Cambs

SOME prisoners should not be released

early and I think we owe a huge debt to both PC Andrew Harper and his widow, Lissie. It is ridiculous that early release should even be considered for those involved in his death.

DAVID TUCKER, Exmouth, Devon

WE SHOULD free up space by deporting the 10,737 foreign nationals currently held in our prisons.

MARTIN REDWOOD, New Inn, Guent

TWELVE per cent of convicts in UK prisons are foreigners. Why are they not first sent home, before the release of dangerous people into the community?

R. HARRIS, London SE9

OBVIOUSLY the No. 10 department for shutting people up was a bit slow in getting to PC Harper's widow.

QUESTION Do other countries have the equivalent of our Tooth Fairy?

YES. While the Tooth Fairy is best known in the UK, the US and other English-speaking countries, many nations have their own traditions for celebrating lost baby teeth.

In Spain and much of Latin America, this is El Ratoncito Perez (Perez the Little Mouse). Children place a tooth under their pillow and the mouse exchanges it for a coin or small gift overnight. This tradition dates back to a story written in 1894 by Luis Coloma. France has a similar character called La Petite Souris ("The Little Mouse"), who also collects teeth and leaves money behind.

In Japan, children traditionally throw lower teeth onto the roof and upper teeth onto the ground, hoping their new teeth will grow straight and strong. Similar customs exist in parts of Korea, China and Vietnam.

Meanwhile, across parts of the Middle East children often throw their lost tooth towards the sky or the sun while making a wish for a healthy tooth to replace it.

say that a UK company is either a private company held by individual or corporate shareholders resident in the UK, or a public company quoted on the London Stock Exchange.

When a company is sold the normal process is that new owners buy its shares for an agreed price and ownership of the shares is then transferred over.

For public companies, there will be a market price set by demand. For privately held companies, there is no market price, so advisers and lawyers for both parties have to evaluate the company and agree a price.

There are other costs involved in buying and selling shares including stamp duty, capital gains taxes for sellers, and fees paid to lawyers etc.

The assets of a company can be sold separately but that is a far more complicated process.

Tony Cater, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex

QUESTION Now that Elon Musk has been declared the world's first trillionaire, who was the first billionaire?

FURTHER to the earlier answer, Mansa Musa (c.1280-1337), ruler of the Mali Empire, is widely regarded as the richest person in history. Estimates of his wealth vary between 300 and 400 billion dollars today, largely thanks to Mali's gold and salt reserves. However, there's no confirmed historical calculation that ties his fortune directly to modern dollars, since the concept of a billionaire didn't exist in his time.

C. Varley, West Yorkshire

TODAY'S RECIPE: Saucy dan-dan-style noodles

Sichuan dish with a pop of ginger. Serves 2-3

Ingredients

½-1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns, toasted and finely ground using a pestle and mortar

2 garlic cloves, finely grated

10g ginger, finely grated

1 tsp light brown soft sugar

A pinch of cinnamon

5 tbsp tahini

2 tbsp light soy sauce

2 tbsp chinkiang black vinegar

½ tbsp crispy chilli oil

250g dried wheat or egg noodles

250g pak choi or choi sum Salted peanuts, coriander leaves and pickled ginger, and a protein to serve (optional)

Method

1 Put the peppercorns, garlic, ginger, sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl, and mix to combine. Stir in the tahini, soy sauce, vinegar and chilli oil. Don't worry if the mixture is thick at this stage - it will be loosened with water later. This mixture will keep chilled for up to a day.

2 Bring 2 litres of salted water to the boil and cook the noodles for 3 mins until just tender. Add the pak choi and cook for 2-3 mins more until just wilted. Drain both and set aside, reserving 250-300ml of the water.

3 Whisk the reserved water into the sauce, a splash at a time, until glossy - it will thicken as it sits. Add the noodles and toss well. Serve in bowls topped with the pak choi, peanuts, coriander and pickled ginger, and your choice of protein, if liked.

The alarm watch that works wherever you go

A ROUND two million older people in the UK now use personal alarms to summon help if they have a fall.

But pull cords and red buttons only work when you are at home, while statistics show that 48 per cent of falls happen outside.

Now, a discreet and stylish new type of personal alarm is helping people to stay active as well as independent.

The YourStride alarm looks and functions like a

The watch is connected to UK mobile networks, which means it has an unlimited range in the UK

smart watch with an activity tracker to track your steps, measure heart rate and even blood pressure.

And on the screen there's a button which you can use to summon help wherever you are in the country.

One grateful user, Gillian, says her watch has changed her life. Two years ago she fell and

broke her hip, and so her local authority installed a red button-style alarm in her home.

The problem is, this alarm only works if I'm in the house. It's no good if I'm in the garden, so I felt trapped indoors - and it made me feel old! she says, 'But this watch has given me my freedom back.

'If I fall when I'm out, I just press a button on the watch and one of the lovely ladies who answers the calls will alert my named contacts or the emergency services.'

The watch is connected to UK mobile networks, which means it has an unlimited range in the UK.

Tap the button and your location is immediately sent to the monitoring team (who are available 24/7) and who can chat to you via a built-in speaker and microphone.

At £59.99 for the stylish

Rediscover your independence

SUMMER is the perfect time to get out, enjoy the sunshine, visit family and friends, and regain the freedom to do the things you love.

If mobility issues have been holding you back, a Quingo mobility scooter could help you reclaim your independence with confidence.

Unlike traditional three- and four-wheel mobility scooters, Quingo's unique patented five-wheel design offers exceptional comfort, stability,

safety and manoeuvrability. And whether you're navigating busy shopping centres, uneven pavements or negotiating dropped kerbs, Quingo's innovative design provides a smoother, more secure ride.

One of Quingo's most impressive advantages is its ability to safely climb and descend kerbs at an angle - something conventional three- and four-wheel scooters can struggle with.

Combined with outstanding

agility and comfort, it's easy to see why thousands of customers have chosen Quingo to help maintain their active lifestyle.

The best way to appreciate the difference is to experience it for yourself.

That's why Quingo offers a free, no-obligation home demonstration. One of our friendly mobility specialists will visit you and allow you to try a Quingo in the exact places you intend to use it, ensuring you

find the model that's right for your needs.

To make ownership even easier, we offer a range of flexible options, including straightforward payment plans and rental solutions.

City & Finance

City Editor: Alex Brummer

www.theisinnoney.co.uk

Business Editor: Hugo Duncan

Want a job? Algorithm says no...

JOB anxiety is hanging heavy in the sultry summer air. The desperation of being unable to find work is no longer confined to characters such as Yosser Hughes, the Liverpudlian tarmac-layer in TV drama Boys From The Blackstuff.

His plea to 'gizza job' resonated in 1980s Britain, the decade when, according to Andy Burnham, the UK economy began to go wrong.

Forty years on, the person whose life unravels when they lose their job is just as likely to be a formerly well-off female high achiever.

Someone, perhaps, like metropolitan fashionista Stacey Duguid, who wrote a lacerating piece in this newspaper about her fruitless struggles to find work.

Her experience struck a chord with mid-life women who say they are being thwarted by AI bots throwing out their CVs for being the 'wrong' age and sex. The

Ruth Sunderland

algorithms, of course, reflect and amplify human prejudice. In the 1980s, the decline of heavy industry brought thousands of job losses in mines, steelworks and factories, work that was mainly done by men.

We were told the UK could thrive as a post-manufacturing, services-led economy, but today's wave of job losses may well have a female face.

AI is coming for service roles, and the research so far does suggest women are more vulnerable, because the back-office, part-time and mid-level admin positions they often occupy are those being replaced.

The City of London Corporation investigated and found women working in tech

and financial services are at greater risk of losing their jobs to AI than their male peers. Mid-life professional women do not have a monopoly on this misery; men also report age discrimination.

The young, despite being AI natives, don't have it all their own way, not with more than a million 16 to 24-year-olds categorised as NEET - or not in education, employment or training.

No politician today would dare tell people without work to 'get on their bike', as Norman Tebbit did in the 1980s.

BUT the problem of joblessness is often framed as an individual one for people to solve for themselves. Stacey Duguid describes a deep sense of personal shame about her struggles to find work, even while knowing she was caught up in economic forces far stronger than herself. With 1.7m people unemployed and another 9m economically inactive, Burnham needs to put jobs front and centre of everything his Government does. Perhaps

he can do little about the global march of job-stealing AI, but he could choose to tackle the costs being heaped on employers.

I wonder whether ministers realise the full impact of these.

They should listen to the people running businesses, such as Tim Martin, the founder and chairman of the Wetherpoons pub chain, who has said he is facing an extra £60m a year in employment costs and has issued four profit warnings this year.

Christopher Nieper, who runs the David Nieper fashion firm in Derbyshire, calculates that the cost of employing an 18 to 20-year-old in his factory has risen more than 100pc in the past ten years. For a worker aged 21 and above, the bill is up by 86pc.

Employers simply cannot take this pain indefinitely. Businesses are not all nests of evil capitalism, deserving of being taxed to oblivion.

Good companies create jobs, support communities and help to create places where people can live good lives. The new Labour administration needs to grasp that.

UNILEVER TO UPDATE AFTER £33BN U.S. DEAL

UNILEVER'S boss will this week come under scrutiny over his controversial strategy as he unveils the firm's half-year results.

Fernando Fernandez is expected to update investors on his plans to focus the consumer goods giant - which owns household names including Dove and Tresemme - on its beauty and personal care division.

Fernandez has come under fire for agreeing to spin off its food brands, such as Marmite and Hellmann's, with US spice giant McCormick in a £33bn deal.

The tie-up is seen by some as unfair to Unilever investors, who cannot vote on it. Sales for the quarter to the end of June are set to have reached just under £11bn, analysts said.

Growing calls for Healey to dismiss raid on pensions

JOHN Healey is under mounting pressure to rule out a tax raid on pensions as he looks to raise cash to fund Labour's lavish spending plans.

The Chancellor is scrambling to find money for increased defence spending, while also paying for Prime Minister Andy Burnham's pledges, from ending rough sleeping to building council houses.

It is feared the pair are planning to hit the middle classes with a fresh barrage of tax hikes - with pensions among the targets.

Two former pensions ministers told the Mail that Healey should rule out a raid on retirement pots now to stop a damaging period of speculation over his plans in the build-up to a Budget this autumn.

It comes after savings and investment platform AJ Bell last week wrote to Healey calling on him to guarantee the tax-free lump sum and other incentives to save 'will not be altered in your first Budget'.

AJ Bell chief executive Michael Summersgill said: 'Such a commitment would stop speculation before it takes hold and demonstrate that this government backs people who do the right thing by setting money aside for their financial future.'

Rumours that former Chancellor Rachel Reeves was plotting an attack on the tax-free lump sum

By Hugo Duncan

proved particularly damaging ahead of her Budgets as savers rushed to withdraw money from their retirement pots.

Reeves eventually decided against such a change, leaving those who acted worse off.

Pension savers can withdraw up to 25pc of their nest eggs tax-free from the age of 55, up to a maximum of £268,275.

Former pensions minister Steve Webb, who is a partner at pension consultants LCP, said: 'With a

'Stop speculation before it spreads'

new Prime Minister and a new Chancellor we can expect pre-Budget speculation to be even more feverish than normal.

'But such speculation can be damaging if it results in people making financial decisions - such as accessing their pension pot early - that they would not otherwise have done.

'There is clear evidence in the run-up to the last Budget of people rushing to take tax-free cash from their pension for fear of a cut which never materialised.

'By far the best thing the new

Chancellor could do for financial stability would be to rule out changes to tax breaks on pensions for the rest of this Parliament.'

Baroness Altmann, another former pensions minister, said: 'It is really important that the Chancellor makes clear that the tax-free lump sum for pensions will be left alone.

'Otherwise, more and more people still in their 50s and 60s will take their tax-free cash, reduce the size of their pension and also stop investing the money for their long-term lifestyle.'

The amount of money higher earners can save for their pensions tax-free could also become a target as Healey scrambles to raise cash.

Workers can save up to £60,000 a year tax-free into their pensions - equating to relief of 20pc for basic-rate taxpayers and 40pc or 45pc for those in the higher and additional income tax brackets.

They are then taxed when they take the money as income in later life. Reducing tax reliefs would effectively mean workers are taxed twice on their income - once before they put it into their pension and again when they take it out.

It is feared such a move would deter people from saving for their retirement.

BRITISH CYCLING IS BIG AND MAGICAL... THAT'S WHY I SWITCHED FROM AUSTRALIA

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Nik Simon

in Glasgow

BACK on his family farm in Australia, Matt Richardson has a 22-seat school bus locked up in one of the stables.

'There's an owl that lives on top of it — he kills all the rats and stops them chewing through the wires,' explains the England cyclist, who is favourite for gold in Glasgow this week.

'It's a Toyota Coaster Bus and it's an absolute tank. I bought it a few years ago to convert into a camper van, but I haven't got round to it yet. I keep it away from the elements in the shed. If you take care of it, they're known to do a million kilometres.'

Richardson is not a conventional character. So perhaps it is little surprise that he decided to switch allegiance from Australia to Great Britain after winning three medals at the 2024 Olympics.

The 27-year-old was born in Maidstone, Kent, but moved Down Under aged nine when his father got a job promotion with IKEA. He carved out an impressive track career for Australia, winning gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, but his dual citizenship tested his loyalties.

'I'm always looking for more, whether that's more weight in the gym, more effort on track or creating more opportunities for myself,' he explains. 'Your career only lasts so long and I've been wired to really extract every opportunity out of the time that I have, whether that's building a

Gold-seeking cyclist Matt Richardson explains the reasons for his controversial country change

Up a gear: Richardson cycles for GB, having won (inset) Commonwealth gold for Australia in 2022 SHUTTERSTOCK/GETTY

camper van to enjoy later in life, or moving country to try to maximise my career. I get bored very easily, so I'm always setting myself a new goal, something to keep myself on my toes, a self-inflicted challenge.

'We always have challenges in World Champs and World Cups but it's not enough, I want a bit more. The Olympics only comes every four years, so you want to keep it different year on year.'

Having a Welsh girlfriend, Emma Finucane — a fellow Olympic medallist — helped Richardson's decision. Finucane will wear Welsh colours this week before they come together under the Team GB banner for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. 'British

cycling is in an incredible place,' says Richardson. 'Oz cycling was like high school and British cycling is like Hogwarts. It's incredible, it's big, it's magical. I have everything I need at my fingertips to be the best possible athlete I can be. There's more resources, the equipment's incredible, no expense is spared.'

'The bike I ride here is a lot better. It's fast, it's stiff, it's everything I need to break a world record. Whenever we travelled to a race from Adelaide, we had to take multiple flights. The European guys land in on the same day and have no jet lag. Things like that make a really big difference. It's all on me now. Of

course, being closer to your girlfriend is an added bonus. We live together in Manchester. It rains a little bit more than Australia, but luckily I do an indoor sport.'

In a world of marginal gains, the benefits are already starting to show. Richardson became the first rider to break the nine-second barrier on the 200 metres flying lap last August, before finally beating his Dutch nemesis, Harrie Lavreysen, in February.

He has been able to pick the

brains of Sir Chris Hoy and has even spoken to Formula One world champion Lando Norris.

'There's a shared element of danger with F1. We race shoulder to shoulder sometimes at 80km/h. You have a lot of adrenaline coursing through your veins.'

The switch has come at a cost, though. Richardson has made himself Public Enemy No 1 in the Australian camp. He has been branded a turncoat and a traitor, despite switches becoming more commonplace. Former Australia team-mate Leigh Hoffman will be one of his biggest rivals this week.

'I knew it wasn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows,' he says. 'You can't make everyone happy.'

'I was super stoked to have won two golds for Australia at the last Commonwealths. I was living in the moment and not really thinking about the next Games. But if someone had a crystal ball and said, 'At the next Commonwealth Games, you're going to be riding for England.' I wouldn't

have been too surprised. It was always a thing I wanted to do.'

'The year before the last Olympics, I was looking at the next four years, thinking what that could look like. If I was going to do it, then now was the time. Waiting for another Olympics would have been too late.'

'The reaction is probably what I

expected. But also, the way it rolled out is what I expected. It's been amazing from the onset.'

With a new support team behind him, Richardson is pedalling forward with grand ambitions.

'My goal is to win gold at the Commonwealth Games and gold at the World Championships. I've been chasing that individual sprint world title for a few years now. I'm in the form to do that this year and I want to carry all the momentum I can into LA.'

Ramsay-Peaty: Next Olympics will be hardest climb I've faced

ADAM RAMSAY-PEATY said he faces the toughest challenge of his career to get back into medal contention for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The 31-year-old broke down in tears after finishing third in the men's 100 metres breaststroke final, having held the world record since 2015. Britain's iconic swimmer will have another shot at gold over 50m tonight and he is

desperate to prove that time has not caught up with him. 'It's been hard,' said Ramsay-Peaty. 'There have been a multitude of things at play over the last few years — burnout, breaking my foot, fighting against something you love. Coming back to where I am now and making the decision to go for LA, I think this is going to be the hardest climb I've ever faced and the hardest test. It's

really hard to see the summit because it's so hard. I don't think anyone understands.' Ramsay-Peaty's wife, Holly — the daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay — has been in Glasgow to watch the races. Fatherhood has shifted his priorities but he does not plan to retire before the next Olympics. 'There are just a lot of personal and professional things that I

need to pull together and work out what's important, and what the long-term goal is for my happiness and for my family's happiness as well,' he said. 'When your world record is three seconds away (he swam 59.65 and his record is 56.88), we've got to ask what's going wrong because that's not me. We need to interrogate it, look at the data, and ask whether it was an issue with race pace,

fitness, or something else.' After last night's semi-final he said: 'I'm feeling much better. The last 24 hours have been a bit of a whirlwind. I guess in sport it is not always about getting beat down, because it's going to be inevitable. But it's about how long it takes you to look at it and turn it around. I'm happy, it puts me on a great trajectory for the final.'

Major scare: Joshua is knocked down by Frenga after 20 seconds and (right) faces another count after touching the canvas later in round one GETTY IMAGES

'I'm not having that!'

By MICHAEL PAVITT

SIMON Jordan called into question the nature of Anthony Joshua's victory over Kristian Frenga after the Brit recovered from two knockdowns to set up a lucrative showdown with Tyson Fury.

Joshua, who was returning to the ring after seven months out, appeared on the brink of defeat on Saturday night in the opening round against Frenga.

The Albanian knocked Joshua down just 20 seconds in with an uppercut. And Joshua then survived another knockdown later in the round, leaving fans fearing the long-awaited showdown with Fury was at risk.

The second round was different, though, as Joshua unleashed a series of heavy blows to force Frenga towards the ropes, before delivering a knockout punch.

Joshua's stunning turnaround, coupled with Fury's victory over Mariusz Wach 24 hours earlier, cleared the path for the two British heavyweights to finally meet in one of the most

Jordan questions AJ's stunning turnaround

potentially lucrative fights in boxing history. But talkSPORT presenter Jordan questioned the dramatic difference in the rounds.

He said something was 'not quite right' as he appeared to reference the sums on offer for the Joshua versus Fury fight.

'Not having that,' Jordan posted on social media. 'Dropped twice and sets the tempo, how's that?' Frenga totally different in second. Something not quite right, all designed to rinse maximum amount of money.

Punch statistics for the fight revealed the difference between the two rounds, with Joshua landing just five of his 22 punches

in the first, while Frenga connected with 15 of his 32.

The second round swung though, with Joshua landing 13 of his 46 punches, as Frenga dropped off by landing just three of 17 attempted.

Joshua defended his efforts, saying: 'He gave me a good test, but this is what champions do, we rise. We get knocked down and stand up. That is life's motto.

'I want to give a massive thank you to Frenga and his team for putting up a good fight. It means a lot to them and it means a lot to me and that is why you see what you see in the ring.

'He's a strong guy and I think

Eddie (promoter Hearn) wants to sign him now! He is going to do well and has a bright future. He is strong and durable.'

Looking ahead to the showdown with Fury, with contracts having already been signed, Joshua said: 'I am the meanest, most vicious champion. Nobody can stop me. He is no Oleksandr (Usyk).

'There are two sides. One is the fighter and the other is respect. I respect everything he has done and everything he has achieved, but as a fighting person, we're here now. I hope fans will be in for a lovely treat.'

Joshua paid tribute to the two close friends who lost their lives

in a car crash in December. Sina Ghami and Latif 'Latz' Ayodele died when

their car hit a truck on a

road near Lagos, Nigeria. The pair were on holiday with Joshua after he beat Jake Paul in Miami. The boxer, who was also in the vehicle, was taken to hospital before being discharged.

Joshua paid tribute to his friends by having their names printed on his trunks. He also walked to the ring wearing a military-style jacket which featured a medal bar displaying the IBF, IBO, WBA, and WBO titles — which he previously held — alongside pennants bearing Ghami and Ayodele's names.

'Latz x Sina, My Brother's Keeper, MBK' was printed on the canvas in his corner.

Hearn admitted he feared the heavyweight had returned to the ring too soon after witnessing his struggles in the opening round.

'Nobody can imagine what he's been through in the last seven months. In that first round, I thought we'd come back too soon,' Hearn said. 'Boxing got him through. To even be in the ring is astonishing. You don't know what he's been through.'

'He had to go to the depths one more time to get up, like he has done the last seven months.'

Newcastle looking at keeper Hornicek

NEWCASTLE have switched their sights to Sporting Braga goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. The 24-year-old Czech Republic international was the subject of a failed bid by Hull earlier in the transfer window, while Benfica have also been making enquiries. Hull even matched his £25.9million release clause, but Hornicek turned down the move. Newcastle have now entered the picture and a deal could be agreed

By SIMON JONES

quickly if all parties wish to proceed. Hornicek was back in action midweek as he starred in Braga's I-0 win at Serbian side Zeleznikar Pancevo in a Conference League qualifier. Newcastle had been pursuing Manchester City's James Trafford as they seek competition for first-choice Nick Pope, but Trafford is moving to Leeds for £45m. Newcastle are light in the

goalkeeping department after Aaron Ramsdale returned to Southampton after a year-long loan last season. Eddie Howe's club also met with Brighton keeper Carl Rushworth, but had reservations over his lack of top-flight experience. Rushworth remains a target for Coventry, where he had a successful loan last season as the Sky Blues won the Championship. They have had bids worth £25m rejected so far.

Promoted York sack manager

YORK CITY have sacked manager Stuart Maynard, three months after he guided the club back into the Football League after a 10-year absence. A club statement said it had 'not been an easy decision' and it was made because of a 'difference in direction and vision for the football club'. York won the National League in dramatic circumstances in April, scoring an equaliser in the 13th minute of second-half stoppage time to draw with title rivals Rochdale, who would have been

champions themselves had they won. The Minstermen ended the campaign on 108 points, having replaced Adam Hinshelwood with former Notts County boss Maynard in August 2025. 'We recognise that, from the outside, this may look like a strange or difficult decision to understand,' the statement continued. 'But we believe that in the long term, the club will be in a stronger position because of it, another step

towards the vision we, as custodians of this club, believe will deliver sustained success. 'We hope our track record of improving year on year has earned us a degree of trust and we understand that not everyone will agree with, or fully understand, this decision right away.' York host Crawley in a Carabao Cup preliminary-round tie next Monday. Their first match back in League Two is against Bristol Rovers 12 days later at the York Community Stadium.

Joe woe means new defender must be top of Liverpool's list

Gomez is injured again to give Iraola an early headache

LEWIS STEELE in Nashville

THERE are two sliding-doors moments when it comes to Liverpool and defenders.

Last summer, a deal for Marc Guehi was so close that media staff at Crystal Palace had made a farewell video to go out on social channels featuring clips of him lifting the FA Cup.

Guehi, as we now know, saw his move collapse at the 11th hour of Deadline Day, with Palace chairman Steve Parish pulling the plug.

Then, in April, Ibrahima Konate said he was 'close' to signing a contract extension at Liverpool. Two months later, he was waving farewell to Anfield and following Trent Alexander-Arnold by moving to Real Madrid. Konate left on a free.

It is now under four weeks until Liverpool's Andoni Iraola era officially begins away to Newcastle — an emotional game given the death last week of Kevin Keegan, a legend at both clubs.

Ahead of their Premier League opener, Liverpool are already in a defensive crisis. If that game were tomorrow, they would have Virgil van Dijk as the only senior option — and he has not begun pre-season work yet having been given an extended break after playing for the Netherlands at the World Cup.

Joe Gomez, the long-serving versatile defender, pulled up in the Reds' pre-season opener against Sunderland here in Nashville to add to the defensive woes. 'Probably the worst news,' was how Iraola put it, a few days on from admitting Liverpool were 'very thin' in defence.

Gomez is adored by many in the dressing room and by the fanbase but the cold, hard truth is you cannot trust his body. According to data from Transformat, this is his ninth separate lay-off since the start of the 2023-24 season.

He started seven league games

Friendly ire: Gomez is assessed before going off GETTY IMAGES

last term, six the season before. We do not yet know the severity of his latest injury but whether it is two days or two months on the sidelines, the situation is clear.

Beyond those two senior defenders, Liverpool have two youngsters who they believe are among the best defensive talents in world football. But they have zero Premier League minutes between them and they are also out of action right now.

Jeremy Jacquet, the 21-year-old who signed from Rennes for £10million, is here in the US but is being carefully managed. Given he did not play for the French club beyond February 7 due to a

shoulder problem, he is being afforded an extended training block before playing. After sitting out the friendly with Sunderland, it is believed he will do the same against Wrexham in New York City on Wednesday and is eyeing a first Reds outing against Leeds in Chicago next weekend.

Giovanni Leoni is the other option. The 19-year-old signed this time last year from Parma but has spent the best part of a year out after tearing his cruciate ligament on debut in September in the Carabao Cup.

Even when Jacquet and Leoni are back, they are unproven and ideally would be eased in slowly.

As it is, they are likely to need to dive head first into the deep end.

Mor Talia Ndiaye from Senegal and Austrian Ifeanyi Ndukwe, both 18, have had to play in central defence here.

Skipper Van Dijk is now 35 and entering the final year of his deal, as is 29-year-old Gomez. All of a sudden, the need to sign a defender is the priority for Liverpool, alongside recruiting a replacement for Mohamed Salah on the right wing.

With Hugo Ekitike a long-term absentee with a ruptured achilles and Alexander Isak missing the majority of his first campaign at the club with several problems,

the Reds look extremely light at that end of the pitch, too.

Liverpool are back at base in Chicago and have been met by Florian Wirtz, Isak and Ryan Gravenberch, who have joined up with the squad having missed the first part of pre-season after playing in the World Cup.

But if Iraola is not backed with at least two or three more arrivals, then he faces an uphill struggle to return Liverpool to glory.

With news this week circulating that Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos is part of a consortium to buy a £1.35 billion stake in the club, Liverpool could do with a defender on next-day delivery.

Chiesa determined to fight for his place as 'new chapter' begins

From Back Page

Andoni Iraola's style and can provide a serious goal threat following Mohamed Salah's departure.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich also retain an interest in Barcola, while Chelsea made enquiries earlier in the summer.

The Gunners are exploring the possibility of signing Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid in a deal that would require

significant investment. They also retain ambitious interest in Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez. However, it is understood Barcola would like to speak to Liverpool if they can agree terms with PSG.

Meanwhile, Liverpool forward Federico Chiesa says he loves the club and sees this season as a

'fresh start' after two frustrating campaigns spent largely on the bench. The Italian, who was highly rated when he won the European Championship with his nation in 2021, was signed from Juventus for £10million two years ago but has struggled to make a lasting impression. Many

expected Chiesa (left) to leave this summer — and that could still happen if Liverpool seal the Barcola deal.

But Chiesa, who scored in the Reds' 4-2 win over Sunderland in Nashville on Saturday, said: 'I am happy here at Liverpool. I love the club, I love the fans, everything. I am doing the best I can to have a chance. We will see. At the minute, the only thing I am thinking about is Liverpool. I am trying to do

my best for this new manager. 'Last year I felt ready for a bigger role. I wanted to play more. This year, it is a new chapter. I must focus on that.' Chiesa played 26 times in the league last season, but only one of those was a start and fitness continued to be an issue. He added: 'Liverpool deserve more. It was a tough season last year and this season we need to do better, in the Champions League as well.'

KIERAN GILL in Sydney

JAMIE GITTENS is not peeved that he now has left-wing competition at Chelsea from Morgan Rogers, purchased from Aston Villa for £117million, the most ever spent on an English signing.

Rather, he sees this record-breaking acquisition as a step towards this club taking titles again.

We want to win everything — that is our ambition, to win the Premier League, the FA Cup, win anything that we're in," Gittens, standing pitch-side at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney, tells Daily Mail Sport. "Bringing in a player like Morgan will hopefully raise the bar to win titles."

Gittens is relishing the friendly rivalry with fellow Manchester City academy alumnus Rogers, and it is during our interview that this 21-year-old Englishman earns an enormous cheer from the 4,500 Chelsea fans in attendance for their open training session.

The reason is that a child had invaded the pitch to try to get Estevao Williams' autograph. As security leads the young man back towards the stands, Gittens pauses our conversation to sign his shirt, with the supporters watching on, appreciating that gesture.

Gittens has not heard too many cheers from Chelsea fans. His first season at the club after being signed for £52m from Borussia Dortmund was written off in January following a hamstring injury. He is itching to return and, as revealed by Daily Mail Sport, he scored in both of their behind-closed-doors friendlies versus Crawley and Bromley last week at their Cobham training base.

"I feel at 92 per cent," Gittens says when asked if he is at 100 yet. "I'm feeling much better, more confident now my body is better, the hamstrings are good, so I'm waiting for the season to start."

"I was training every day (over the summer), in Portugal and in Marbella, training myself to the maximum to get ready for the season. It was hard because this was the first muscle injury I've had. I've never had hamstring injuries before."

SUNDERLAND boss Regis Le Bris has issued a hands-off warning for his captain Granit Xhaka and told Chelsea to forget about signing him this summer. The Switzerland midfielder was instrumental as the Black Cats finished in the European spots on their return to Premier League football last season — and Chelsea have tried to buy him this summer. But boss Le Bris says there is no chance of Xhaka leaving. "No, this topic is closed," said

confident. It was hard for me, but I'm here now and hopefully I can get back and tell myself that I did good in the situation.

Gittens has his own objectives for this coming campaign. He has written them down on a piece of paper at home. He does not want to reveal them when asked, but adds: "This is such a big club. I want to succeed here. I need to show people what I can do. I'll

keep working hard. I've shown glimpses, I'd say. But this season will be a good season."

Among the drills practised in Chelsea's training session in Sydney is crossing from the left and the right. From the left wing, Gittens, Cole Palmer and academy graduate Landon Emensio whip in the ball. From the right wing: Estevao, Marco Palestra and Aaron Anselmino,

who is then replaced by Cobham representative Reggie Walsh.

Soon, Chelsea should have a new set-piece specialist in Austin MacPhee overseeing such routines.

the Frenchman when asked about Xhaka. "He has been really clear about his future. He loves Sunderland, he wants to stay in Sunderland. He wants to make the future of Sunderland. He is a good captain. A great leader." Sunderland signed 14 players this time last year, as they

overhauled their squad upon promotion, but Le Bris has told fans to be patient this time around. They have made just one signing, bringing in experienced full back Thomas Meunier on a free transfer from Lille. Le Bris added: "It's going to be quiet. Under the radar, right?"

Because I think that we are working hard behind the scenes, and it's really important to be quiet because otherwise, it's a mess. "And we are looking at probably a different transfer window if you compare with last season. We had to sign 14 new players. That won't be the

against Western Sydney Wanderers and Tottenham in Sydney before moving on to touring Asia, and manager Xabi Alonso is extremely involved in training here, often demonstrating how class is permanent as he sets up players in drills.

"He wants me to keep being positive, to keep taking on players, to keep creating chances and to keep pushing myself to the maximum," Gittens says on the message to him from Alonso. "He's a very nice guy. He talks to us individually about what we can improve. As a player, that's all you want."

"Last season was a 4-3-3 as well with two wingers which is always good, so let's just see. Our quality is there, for sure, as a team and we have individuals on the pitch who can do amazing things."

Alejandro Garnacho has been loaned to Villa after a single season at Chelsea in which he failed to impress on the left wing following his £40m arrival from Manchester United. Garnacho was afforded less leeway than the injury-hit Gittens.

"To be honest, I just look at myself," the man staying at Chelsea says when asked about Garnacho's departure. "I don't look at anyone else. I just focus on myself and try to be better."

Gittens played against Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen during his time at Dortmund. He knows how good a tactician the 44-year-old Spaniard can be. Now he hopes to excel under him at Chelsea and earn his place in their side, even with a £117m signing in Rogers as his competition.

case this year. We'll see what will happen. Lutsharel Geertruida has confirmed that he will not return to Sunderland after last season's loan. The 26-year-old Netherlands defender arrived from RB Leipzig on a season-long deal late in the summer window and made 30 appearances in all competitions. There had been talk of a permanent move, but Geertruida is staying with his parent club.

Daily Mail, Monday, July 27, 2026

Early drama: Norris leads the way over Piastri going into the opening bend but he runs wide at the next one, allowing his team-mate to pass him.

JONATHAN McEVOY at the Hungaroring

LUCKY, lucky, Lando. Not that world champion Norris was other than often the fastest hound in the Hungarian Grand Prix and should have won it on his own.

But he was helped, first, by a bizarre incident befalling his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri handing him the victory chance his pole position deserved and his poor opening lap, sorry, did not.

This first of two pivotal moments in Norris's triumph came on lap 38 when Piastri, who had pitted for a second time, was trying to make progress back into the lead. Williams' Carlos Sainz — the villain of the piece — was fighting with Fernando Alonso for 15th and in his path.

Distracted by his skirmish, Sainz was oblivious to Piastri poised to lap him. It was blue-flag time. The Spaniard should have yielded. He did not.

Piastri fumed: 'Get out of the f***ing way, you idiot.' They banged tyres. 'Oh, my God!'

All this confusion was delaying Piastri, obviously, while Norris was making hay out where the sun shone. After Norris was called in at the end of the following lap,

Lando rides his luck to break duck while Piastri gets stuck in traffic

he emerged in front of the other papaya car. Job done.

Piastri was furious. Obviously with Sainz. But also, it seemed, with his McLaren team for granting Norris freedom to open up an advantage for seven laps after his own stop.

Piastri's race engineer, Tom Stallard, came on the radio, to pacify him, saying: 'Oscar, it's Sainz that cost us. Target is to get to the end on these tyres.'

Piastri responded: 'Oh, mate, just don't talk to me now. Nice of you guys to factor that one (the traffic) in by the way, thanks.'

If he believes the team pull for Norris, their hand-reared champion, rather than him, this reverse would hardly have put his mind at rest.

The second and final slice of luck working for Norris came as Piastri, who seemed set to finish second, conked out with a

gearbox problem, his race over on lap 56 of 70.

Thus, without any concerns at all, Norris went on to claim the first win of his title defence, indeed since the Sao Paulo Grand Prix last November.

Now, more drama ensued as a virtual safety car was enlisted. Lewis Hamilton, on an unravelling weekend for him given what riches it promised, had succeeded the stricken Piastri in the running order.

This was not to last. Norris came in for new tyres and so did Hamilton. For Norris, fine, back out in top spot. But Hamilton emerged from the pits virtually level with third-placed Kimi Antonelli, and, although the seven-time world champion pushed himself ahead of the Italian into and out of the first corner, it was not legit.

Was he speeding in the pits? He

was placed under investigation for the suspected offence and handed a five-second penalty a few minutes later. 'They are handing out penalties like crazy,' said Hamilton, though he later relented in his criticism of the beak.

He had already been told by his pit wall to hand the place back to Antonelli, but that is not quite how it stayed: yes, Norris took the flag first, Max Verstappen second (because he did not stop under the V8C) and Antonelli third. But Hamilton's penalty dropped him below team-mate Charles Leclerc and into fifth place.

What a headache for Hamilton, who had started where he was condemned to finish after being demoted three places on Saturday for inadvertently blocking Piastri in qualifying.

Instead of clipping Antonelli's championship lead by six points,

as he was due to do prior to the Australian's retirement, he fell five points back. He is 50 behind Antonelli heading into the sport's summer holidays.

A thought: why didn't Ferrari slow down Leclerc? Do they not want to win the drivers' title?

George Russell, seventh on the day, is now 59 adrift, nine points down on his starting position. Not great for the Briton, but not the worst outcome given how he watched the field fly by him at the start as anti-stall kicked in on his Mercedes.

He went down to 19th at the end of lap one, but, helped by a new engine fitted after qualifying, came through the midfield.

'I am past the point of disappointment now,' said Russell, with a resigned smile. 'If I continue to be disappointed with everything that goes on, I'll be disappointed every day of the

week. My pace was as strong as anyone out there, and I haven't been there for the past two or three races, so I will take the positives there.

'But it is unbelievable the list of things that have gone wrong this season. I was on the throttle holding the revs, and four seconds before the lights went out the engines started revving all over the place — the engine wasn't reacting to the throttle. It is a brand new engine. No idea.'

There was little overtaking to savour, though Verstappen made a brilliant pass on Hamilton at the first corner — named after Nelson Piquet, father of Verstappen's long-term partner, Kelly. He caught the Briton by surprise, a typical Max mugging.

Piastri did not need to exert such virtuosity as an old Norris habit came back to haunt him, namely his weakness on first laps that has repeatedly cost him wins from promising starting positions, especially in 2024 when he had an outside chance of claiming the title a year before he did.

Norris was very smartly away from pole and took the first corner in command. But he drifted wide at the second bend, named after Hamilton, and Piastri assumed the lead.

Norris possessed more pace than his team-mate and harried him, but Piastri held track position until his afternoon unravelled.

Norris finally streaked away, finishing 15 seconds up the road and out of sight, a smile back on the champion's face after a welcome victory of persistence and pace as well as good fortune.

Hamilton rues missed opportunity

By JONATHAN McEVOY

LEWIS HAMILTON will seek answers from his Ferrari team after another missed opportunity in his quest for a record eighth world title. The British driver fell 50 points behind championship leader Kimi Antonelli in Hungary by finishing fifth following a curious late strategy call that cost him a possible second place behind race winner Lando Norris.

While Norris was bathed in smiles after notching his first victory of his title defence, Hamilton was cursing his luck on a weekend that promised so much more than it delivered. 'Yes, it was a missed opportunity,' said Hamilton. His weekend was compromised when he failed to land pole that looked to be at his mercy on a favourite track suited to his car. And he was then demoted down the field for impeding McLaren's Oscar Piastri in qualifying. Starting fifth, he had come through to second when Piastri's car broke down. He was called in by Ferrari for a new set of tyres and lost track position to Max Verstappen and Antonelli, who held on for second and third places. Hamilton was then handed a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane — 0.01kph over the mandated 80kph (50mph) — as he charged back onto the track after his late stop. That dropped him a further place behind team-mate Charles Leclerc.

'I definitely don't think we should have taken a stop,' said Hamilton, as the strategy blunder cost him a likely 11 points in relation to Antonelli. 'I got the call right at the pit-lane entry and did not have time to debate it. I would never have stopped if it meant I would give up track position.'

'We probably would have lost out to Max because he was on fresher tyres. But I may have been able to hold on to second, but it most likely would have been third. We have lost a whole bunch of points. I need to see why the team pulled me in.'

Hamilton's penalty was his fourth on successive weekends dating back to his false start at Silverstone. He was then harshly adjudged to have caused an accident with George Russell at Spa prior to his double punishments here at the Hungaroring.

Was he aggrieved by the stewards? 'No,' he said. 'The last three races have been pretty bad from my side.'

'I will work hard to come back, to reset. There are still lots of positives to take.'

LIVERPOOL ENTER BARCOLA TALKS

PSG asking for £140m but Reds seeking a compromise

By SIMON JONES

LIVERPOOL are working on a deal with Paris Saint-Germain over the signing of Bradley Barcola — but the clubs are still a long way apart on his valuation.

The 23-year-old France international does not want to sign a new contract with the European champions and is open to joining Liverpool, who have a long-held interest in the forward.

PSG are considering a sale, but he still has two years left on his contract. Based on his age, potential and the current market, they believe £140million is a fair price.

But Liverpool are seeking a compromise, with Barcola's price said to have been closer to £75m last summer when they first sounded out his representatives.

Barcola is not a regular starter for Luis Enrique's side and they had also been pursuing RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, which would have pushed him further down the pecking order. However, Real Madrid are now close to completing a deal for Ivory Coast international Diomande.

Liverpool also had an £85m proposal rejected for 19-year-old Diomande, but Barcola has always been in their thinking. He has the skillset to suit new boss

PLAYING teams, North opens 2♦, which is a weak two bid in diamonds. East passes and South bids 2♠, which is constructive, but non-forcing. What call do you make with the West cards?

YOU have a good hand and an excellent suit, so despite the high level at which you have to enter the auction, you should bid 3♥. North competes to 3♠, and East raises you to 4♥, which ends the auction.

North leads the ♠3 to South's ♠K. South now cashes the ♠A and then switches to the ♦3. How do you plan the play?

You can tell from the bidding that this switch is clearly a singleton, so you must rise with the ♦A. You will need to be able to establish at least one long club trick and be able to reach it in order to dispose of a losing diamond. To start with, you will need a favourable tie of the trump suit — either a two-two break or the singleton ♥Q to fail.

Start with a top trump, to which both defenders follow low. Now you will need them to divide, so you cash another top trump and North's ♥Q fails. What now?

The hand continues tomorrow.
