人们参与测试该注射药剂。高血压是导致心脏病发作和中风的主要原因，许多患者难以将其读数降低至健康范围。有些人最终不得不每天服用多种药物，这可能会引起包括头晕、头痛、疲劳和脚踝肿胀在内的副作用。
英国血压协会 (Blood Pressure UK) 主席宝琳·斯威夫特 (Pauline Swift) 博士表示：“Zilebesiran (高血压治疗药物) 的研发是高血压治疗中令人兴奋的一步。每半年一次的注射可以为那些难以坚持每日服药的患者带来真正的希望。”
“然而，与任何新疗法一样，我们仍然需要长期数据，以全面了解其在不同患者群体中的安全性及其有效性。”
“这是一个充满前景的创新，但在将其纳入常规护理之前，进一步的研究至关重要。”
Zilebesiran (高血压治疗药物) 是一种被称为小干扰 RNA (small interfering RNA) 的新型药物。
同时担任伦敦玛丽女王大学 (Queen Mary University of London) 威廉·哈维临床研究中心 (William Harvey Clinical Research Centre) 临床联合主任的 Saxena 博士表示：“传统上，我们在治疗高血压时使用药理学药物，但现在我们正在使用 RNA 干扰 (RNA interference) 药物。”
“这是一种长效疗法——每六个月在皮下注射一次，即可看到持续的血压降低，而无需每天服药。”
“在治疗高血压 (Hypertension) 时，药物依从性是面临的主要问题之一。”
第三阶段的 Zenith 临床试验将涉及 11,000 多人，包括在英国 (UK) 全境 50 多个地点的数百名参与者。
首位欧洲 (Europe) 患者于今年早些时候在巴茨健康 (Barts Health) NHS 信托登记就诊。
参与者每六个月将获得 300 毫克 Zilebesiran (高血压治疗药物) 或安慰剂剂量。这将是在其标准药物基础上的额外治疗。
这项研究将持续最长五年，旨在调查该注射是否能降低患者遭受心脏病发作或中风的风险、降低紧急就医的概率，甚至降低死于心血管事件的可能性。
如果取得成功，该试验可为药物制造商罗氏制药 (Roche) 和 Alnylam 制药 (Alnylam) 寻求监管批准提供所需的证据。
Saxena 博士继续说道：“从我们目前在之前研究中看到的结果、作用机制、运作方式以及安全概况来看……我们非常有信心它会表现良好。”
“但我们需要等待结果公布。”

法国对改革党 将移民遣返回 法国海滩的计划感到愤怒
由 MICAHEL KNOWLES 和 JAMES KNUCKEY 报道
尼格尔·法拉奇计划命令 皇家海军将寻求庇护者 遣返回法国海滩，巴黎政府 称此举将违反法国主权和 国际法。 这位改革党领导人昨日公布了 他的想法，辩称这是一项 在海上拯救生命的人道主义任务，同时 保护法国当地人免受移民犯罪浪潮的影响。 该党声称法国将 别无选择，只能接受这些 乘坐小船的人返回其海岸。但法国内政部 表示：“这将构成对法国主权的 侵犯，以及对海洋法和国际法的 违反。” 法拉奇先生回应道：“我将始终 为英国人民及其利益而战。人道主义任务 并不违反海事法或国际法。” 他与内政发言人 齐亚·尤苏夫昨日在伦敦举行的新闻发布会上公布了他们的方案。如果改革党赢得权力， 它将命令 10 艘海军巡逻舰 进入英吉利海峡，由军方人员操纵的充气艇 可以靠近搭载寻求庇护者的船只。
移民的逮捕工作将由警方和边境部队官员负责，随后小船上的乘客将获得餐饮供应并接受医疗检查，然后由海军或皇家海军陆战队将其遣返回法国或比利时。 改革党表示，将成立一个由海军、海军陆战队、皇家空军、陆军以及监视人员组成的联合军事指挥部。该党坚持认为该计划合法，且符合《欧洲人权公约》。 尤苏法先生表示：“这是我们的政策，而不是未来与法国政府谈判的内容。虽然法国可以决定如何让他们登陆，但我们很清楚，我们更希望在港口让人们下船，引导他们走下舷梯并将其移交给法国当局。 “那样更有尊严，也是我们将要谈判的内容。 “如果爱丽舍宫拒绝，请不要误会——国王的皇家海军陆战队将把他们安全地送回他们当天早上离开的那个海滩。” 该党补充道：“我们绝不认为法国海军或宪兵队会对执行人道主义任务并运送平民的皇家海军陆战队开火。” 法拉奇先生表示，此项行动将挽救生命：“这些巨大的充气艇，我们上周看到一艘载有 165 人的，现在 90 到 100 人已经很常见了。令人惊讶的是，一段时间以来我们还没有发生大规模伤亡事件。 “将这些人从小船上接走并将其送回最近的安全目的地和安全国家，我们认为这符合国际海洋法。 “这并不意味着法国政府本身会欢迎这样做。但是，嘿，我们已经给了他们十亿英镑来阻止这些船只，我们只是在帮助他们。” 他继续说道：“对于法国人来说，这有巨大的好处。从敦刻尔克，经过加来，经过维米赖，所有这些相当美丽的小村庄，现在的生活简直是地狱。 “人们把自己锁在房子里。房子没法转卖。这里有犯罪、垃圾、蓄意破坏、帮派暴力、持刀袭击，还有几次枪击事件。解决这个问题将给他们带来极大的缓解。”
改革党副主席 Richard Tice
作者：STEPH SPYRO
改革党 (REFORM UK) 的 Richard Tice 正在接受议会标准监督机构的调查。 这位波斯顿和斯凯格内斯的国会议员被指控在威斯敏斯特大厅参加辩论时，未能披露其与以色列的利益关系。 一名改革党消息人士称这令人“困惑”，并补充道：“他在威斯敏斯特大厅致力于反对反犹主义，结果却演变成了调查。” 这项于 7 月 28, 启动的调查在昨天得到了议会标准专员的确认。 上周，该专员拒绝调查一项针对 Tice 先生的投诉，该投诉涉及其从被定罪的诈骗犯 George Cottrell 处获得的一笔近 £80,000 的未申报贷款。 这位改革党副主席表示：“我的公司有若干笔企业贷款。 “其中没有一笔是需要申报的，它们与我的房地产业务活动有关。”他补充说，其持股和董事职务均已申报。

强奸犯、“严重”儿童性犯罪者和诱拐帮成员将被排除在工党的提前释放计划之外。 首相安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 坚持认为他希望“走得更远”，让更多罪犯被更长时间地关押。 由于担心缓刑团队无法为危险罪犯的获释做好准备，第一批释放时间将被推迟一个月——至 10 月。 伯纳姆先生表示：“我充分理解由此造成的愤怒、焦虑和痛苦。 “这就是为什么我们要做出重大调整——被判处强奸、严重儿童性犯罪和其他诱拐罪的犯罪者将被排除在这些调整之外。”

安迪·伯纳姆 (ANDY Burnham) 被指在就任首相仅两周后，就在夏季假期期间“逃离国家”。这位前大曼彻斯特市长将在与家人共度一周时间期间，暂时脱离日常职责。
据了解，他将继续工作，举行会议并与官员保持直接联系，并在需要时准备提前返回。
英国改革党 (Reform UK) 主席李·安德森 (Lee Anderson) 昨天表示：“入职两周，安迪·伯纳姆就已经受够了。
“在放弃了一系列缺乏资金支持的承诺，并监督了超过 2,000 名非法移民闯入我国之后，他为了在国外享乐而翘班。
“这不是一个严肃对待领导工作的首相。”
伯纳姆先生将离开处于火药桶状态的英国，此时几个地区正陷入干旱，小船移民继续成群结队地抵达，且生活成本危机日益严重。
距离新财政大臣约翰·希利 (John Healey) 发表其首次预算案（预计将包括增税）还有 12 周。
纳税人联盟 (TaxPayers’ Alliance) 智库首席执行官约翰·奥康奈尔 (John O’Connell) 昨天表示：“安迪·伯纳姆不仅不满足于逃离威斯敏斯特去开设‘北区10号’，现在竟然在逃离整个国家。”
他补充道：“首相应当在工作——”
基尔·斯塔默 (KEIR Starmer) 很快为自己赢得了“从未在此的基尔”和“不在办公室”的绰号——安迪·伯纳姆在前往国外度夏休假时，面临着步其后尘的风险。
首相就职仅两周。
在这段时间里，他发布了一系列缺乏资金支持的公告，开设了“北区10号”，并与乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基 (Volodymyr Zelensky) 举行了会谈。但威斯敏斯特的批评者表示，这位“北方之王”在处理国家日常运行事务之前，几乎还没有安定下来就决定休假。
伯纳姆先生一直大肆宣扬要走出威斯敏斯特、深入基层的承诺，将在他从今天起飞往国外度假时暂时中断。
据了解，他在与家人共度时光的同时，将继续参加会议并与官员保持联系。
此次旅行发生之际，威斯敏斯特的高级官员们对伯纳姆先生投入的时间如此之少而日益担忧。

自成为首相以来，伯纳姆在唐宁街度过的时间有限。他喜欢四处奔波的倾向，甚至导致国务第一大臣露易丝·海格（Louise Haigh）在上周的一次内阁办公室全体员工会议上开玩笑说，10号唐宁街对他离开的频繁程度感到“极度不安”。
她强调，首相仅仅是因为对深入基层“如此投入且尽职”。 但尽管伯纳姆先生不在，政府的运作仍在继续。小船移民正成群结队地抵达，tinderbox（如火药桶般）的英国被烈日灼烧，而生活成本危机仍没有缓解的迹象。 政府还面临着食品短缺的警告，原因是打破记录的高温影响了农作物和收成。 所有这些都将成为选民关注的焦点，因为距离财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）在下议院演讲台发表被广泛预期将带来痛苦增税的预算案，仅剩 12 周。 而当伯纳姆先生回来时，他将再次将目光从伦敦移开，在全国范围内开展一次“倾听之旅”。 威斯敏斯特的一些人认为，首相已经赢得了休息的权利。这位前大曼彻斯特市长在担任市长后，直接前往马克菲尔德（Makerfield）的街道参加一场关键的补选，随后才轻快地步入10号唐宁街。 但他的批评者则没那么宽容。他们反而指责他是一位对待领导工作不够认真的首相。
他于 7 月 4 日在马克菲尔德补选中获胜，随后进入 10 号唐宁街。 他的前任基尔·斯塔默爵士（Sir Keir Starmer）在 2024 年 8 月全国被极右翼骚乱笼罩时，被迫取消了担任首相后的第一个假期。这次动荡发生在南肖波特（Southport）一名舞蹈课上的三名女孩被捅死之后。 在 2021 年 8 月，时任首相鲍里斯·约翰逊（Boris Johnson）在塔利班叛军向阿富汗首都喀布尔推进时，缩短了在萨默塞特郡的假期。
昼夜不停地工作，以确保承受压力的纳税人获得物有所值的服务。“在税收负担中挣扎的英国人理应获得 100% 来自 10 号唐宁街的承诺，而不是一个通过漫游服务执政的首相。”
Waspi 要求 会见新 首相进行交谈
作者：乔纳森·沃克 (JONATHAN WALKER)
要求为受国家养老金领取年龄提高影响的女性争取公平待遇的活动人士，已致信首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）和财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey），要求进行紧急会谈。 “反对国家养老金不平等女性”活动（Waspi）主席安吉拉·马登（Angela Madden）敦促伯纳姆先生确保 1950 年代出生的女性获得公平的补偿。 他在 6 月马克菲尔德补选前曾承诺会见活动人士。 马登女士表示： “虽然我们意识到新首相有很长的一系列待处理事项，但我们现在要求他与财政大臣一起与 Waspi 坐下来，确定 1950 年代出生女性的补偿方案应该是怎样的。” “长期以来，Waspi 的女性一直被各种政治色彩的政府辜负，因此她们极度渴望看到这一长期存在的不公正现象得到纠正，这是可以理解的。” 该活动希望为 3.5 million 名因未能妥善沟通国家养老金领取年龄增加而受影响的女性提供补偿。 活动人士称，这种缺乏充分通知的情况，导致许多人没有足够的时间为自己的退休做出替代安排。 议会和医疗服务监察员在 2024 年建议政府向遭受不公正待遇的 1950 年代出生女性支付补偿金。 基尔·斯塔默爵士的政府否决了这一建议，称此类补偿并不公平、不可行，且对纳税人没有价值。

欺骗行为 死母 被藏于冷冻柜
作者：保罗·吉夫斯 (PAUL JEEVES) 一名将母亲尸体在餐厅冷冻柜中存放近三年，期间一直冒领其养老金和福利金的男子已被判刑。 克里斯多夫·菲利普斯 (Christopher Phillips)，60 岁，于 2 月被捕。此前，他的母亲西尔维亚 (Sylvia) 的全科医生诊所请求警方对其进行福利检查。 梅瑟蒂德菲尔 (Merthyr Tydfil) 刑事法院获悉，她于 2023 年 3 月 8 日去世，享年 89 岁。两天后，她的儿子从 AO.com 购买了一个卧式冷冻柜，并将床搬到楼下睡在冷冻柜旁边。 据他称，他有时会握住她的手，并与她聊起《加冕街》(Coronation Street)、赛马以及其他话题。

菲利普斯告诉警方：“我基本上是不想让她离开。”当他的律师鲁斯·史密斯 (Ruth Smith) 表示他与母亲“关系极其亲密”（他在两岁时被其收养）时，他在被告席上抽泣。一名精神科医生诊断其患有 prolonged grief disorder（持续性哀悼障碍）。 菲利普斯还私吞了 78,190.92 英镑的国家养老金、养老金补贴、护理津贴、冬季燃料补贴、生活成本补贴和住房福利金，而这些款项本应停止发放。 当西尔维亚的全科医生诊所试图联系她时，他拒绝其进入，声称她已搬到伦敦。最终，她被发现包裹在一条豹纹丝绸毯子中，身边放着花卉以及一张由儿子和他们的狗赠送的生日卡片。 菲利普斯承认未能依法且体面地安葬其母亲，以及两项欺诈罪名，被判处两年四个月监禁。随后将启动没收程序以追回款项。

托尼·利夫西 (TONY Livesey) 在 6 月退出其 Radio 5 Live 节目后将不再回归，此前 BBC 对前西汉姆联 (West Ham) 主席大卫·萨利文 (David Sullivan) 进行了调查。 在昨天发给员工的一封信中，BBC 表示，主持人利夫西将在该广播电台工作 16 年后离职。 此前近两个月，一档《全景》(Panorama) 节目调查了萨利文在拥有《每日体育报》(Daily Sport) 和《星期日体育报》(Sunday Sport) 期间的行为。 该集名为《掠食者：亿万富翁足球老板》，采访了七名女性，她们声称萨利文对她们进行了性剥削，而他对此“断然否认”。 随后他宣布辞去西汉姆联董事一职，以应对他所谓的关于自己的虚假指控。 利夫西在加入 BBC 之前，曾担任这些报纸的总编辑——与萨利文共事。
出现在《全景》调查中
他在 2010 年主持了 5 Live 节目。BBC Radio 5 Live 控制人海蒂·道森 (Heidi Dawson) 写道：“我想告知各位，托尼·利夫西已决定离开他在 5 Live 的主持岗位。” 在赞扬他建立了“忠实的深夜观众群”之余，她补充道：“托尼请我向 5 Live 的杰出同事们转达他的衷心感谢，他很荣幸能与他们共事。” 在《全景》的那一集中，一名女性确认了
托尼·利夫西 (Tony Livesey) 已经 决定离开他在 5 Live 的 主持职务”
正如“弗洛伦丝”所说，利夫西 将她介绍给了 萨利文 (Sullivan)， 随后萨利文 安排她 访问 他的住所。 利夫西表示，他 不记得曾让一名 女性通过电话与 萨利文 交谈， 就像 弗洛伦丝所说的那样，并坚持认为 向他介绍任何人并不在他的职责范围之内。 他告诉节目组，他对一名 “可能成为受害者的女性深表同情”，但 否认了关于他曾
在其中扮演了
萨莎·沃尔 (Sacha Wall) 与 BBC Panorama 节目对话
“任何角色”的暗示，并表示他认为这一指控 “令人厌恶”。 Panorama 节目指出，在 利夫西 1998 年的一本书中有一段文字称，他 和萨利文设计了一个 “16 岁倒计时”的专题， 为模特们的 16 岁 生日进行倒计时，届时她们 在法律上可以首次被拍摄 the 顶部裸照。 利夫西后来表示，这个 专题并非他的主意。 6 月 9 日，BBC 表示 利夫西已“请求 在管理层考虑这些指控期间 暂时 退出其广播节目的主持工作”。 利夫西，62 岁，自 6 月 8 日以来 就未再主持他在 5 Live 的深夜节目。 他在 2006 年离开了体育类刊物。 前模特萨莎·沃尔——调查中唯一被点名的 指称受害者——表示，当萨利文 要求她进行性行为时，她 24 岁。 萨利文，77 岁，在与 Panorama 以及 《泰晤士报》 (The Times) 的联合调查中表示，他 “断然否认”这些指控。 这些指控涵盖了他通过色情产业、 报纸和足球积累巨额财富的时期。
伦敦泰特现代美术馆
在 7 年后 终于回家
作者：斯坦利·墨菲-琼斯 (STANLEY MURPHY-JONES)
一名从泰特现代美术馆 (Tate Modern) 阳台被扔下 100 英尺的男孩 在出院后重新露出了笑容， 他的家人如是说。 这名法国少年在 7 年前的今天 于 伦敦 遭遇袭击并遭受了 改变生活的重伤，当时他 六岁。 他的父母将他们 13 岁的儿子称为 “notre petit chevalier”——我们的 小骑士——并在网上公布了 这一消息。 他们说：“我们 想让你们知道， 我们的小骑士终于出院了！ “他的住院时间 尽可能缩短， 因为我们的儿子 变得非常沮丧，并一直 询问什么时候能回学校上课 并见到他的朋友们。在暑假 到来之前不久能够返回 学校，对他来说是一件极大的喜事。”
该男孩的伤情 包括脑出血和多处 骨折。他的 密集康复治疗仍在 继续，包括 物理治疗、语言治疗 和神经心理学治疗。 为了庆祝出院， 他的父母将带他去体验一次 双人滑翔伞飞行 以及与朋友一起去海边 度假。 他们说：“我们要 尝试让他（以及我们自己） 完全充电， 并尽可能恢复正常的家庭生活规律。” 该家庭的医疗费用 正由一个 GoFundMe 账户提供帮助， 该账户由萨里郡 (Surrey) 护士 维基·迪普拉克托 (Vicky Diplacto) 设立， 已筹集了超过 £500,000。 袭击者 乔恩蒂·布雷弗里 (Jonty Bravery)，当时 17 岁， 在承认企图谋杀后 被判处至少 15 年监禁。
亚莉安娜 (Ariana) 采取退后一步的举措
其西区首演
作者：丹尼尔·伯德 (DANIEL BIRD)
艾莉安娜·格兰德 (ARIANA Grande) 宣布退出她的西区首演，理由是“无休止的公众审视”。她原定于在即将于伦敦复演的斯蒂芬·桑德海姆 (Stephen Sondheim) 音乐剧《乔治与公园的星期日》(Sunday in the Park With George) 中担任主角，并与她在《魔法坏女巫》(Wicked) 中的搭档乔纳森·贝利 (Jonathan Bailey) 共同演出。相反，这位 33 岁的艺人在 9 月份结束她的《永恒阳光》(Eternal Sunshine) 巡演后，将选择远离公众视线。一名发言人表示：“艾莉安娜将减少曝光。她期待在健康且快乐的状态下圆满完成巡演并画上完美的句号，随后将休息一段时间，远离面向公众的工作和露面，因为这些活动导致了无休止且持续的公众审视。”
这一公告是在评论人士对艾莉安娜在新专辑同名主打歌《花瓣》(Petal) 音乐视频中的 penampilan 提出担忧后发布的。在视频中，艾莉安娜扮演一名表演者，她在试镜时被告知“应该去做一些整容手术”，随后又被告知她“整容过度”。电视明星贾米拉·贾米尔 (Jameela Jamil) 也是表达担忧的人之一，她将艾莉安娜与歌手凯伦·卡朋特 (Karen Carpenter) 相比，后者在与厌食症斗争后于 1983 年去世。40 岁的贾米拉此前曾患有饮食失调，她表示：“‘缩小的流行歌星’这种情况在某种程度上像是一个电车难题。如果我们评论她的身体，可能会损害她的心理健康。如果我们不评论她的身体，我们就面临将这种形象正常化，并影响数以亿计的青少年女孩、儿童甚至易受影响的成年人的风险。”
艾莉安娜此前曾敦促粉丝停止评论她的身体。在 2024 年，艾莉安娜表示自青少年时期起，她一直觉得自己像个“培养皿里的标本”。她补充道：“我听到过所有的议论。我听到过关于我哪里有问题的所有形式的评价。然后你把它修正了，结果又因为不同的原因被认为有问题。”这位美国明星最初是以童星身份成名，在尼克罗迪昂 (Nickelodeon) 电视节目《胜利之光》(Victorious) 和《山姆和卡特》(Sam & Cat) 中饰演卡特·瓦伦丁 (Cat Valentine)。她曾获得三项格莱美奖，并因在《魔法坏女巫》中饰演格琳达 (Glinda) 而获得奥斯卡奖提名。《乔治与公园的星期日》制作团队的一名发言人为艾莉安娜送上祝愿，并表示：“该剧将于 2027 年夏季按原计划在巴比肯中心 (Barbican) 开演。”

分析显示，英格兰每八名孕妇中就有一人被诊断出患有糖尿病。分析还揭示，在某些少数族裔群体和贫困人群中，该病发病率急剧上升。大学研究人员发现，五年内妊娠糖尿病的诊断量激增 60%，并警告称这是医疗系统中的一个“漏洞”，影响着母亲及其婴儿。
这种情况会增加女性患心血管疾病的风险，并使其面临更高的子痫前期风险，而子痫前期可能会导致器官损伤。糖尿病可能导致早产、紧急剖腹产以及婴儿出生体重比预期过大或过小。
当女性无法产生足够的胰岛素（一种帮助控制血糖水平的激素）时，就会发生妊娠糖尿病。由爱丁堡大学开展并发表在《BMJ Medicine》杂志上的研究发现，有色人种女性（23%）、亚洲女性以及生活在贫困地区（14%）的女性病例增加幅度最高。

一位专家认为，自闭症谱系可能已经变得“过于广泛”，并面临误解患者需求的风险。伦敦大学学院的 Uta Frith 教授（女爵士）在 20 世纪 60 和 70 年代的研究为人们如何理解自闭症奠定了基础，她表示，该定义已经“扩大”，将具有较轻特征的人群也纳入其中。
自闭症是一种神经多样性，影响人们沟通和体验世界的方式。
Uta 女爵士在《Psychological Medicine》杂志上写道：“当它在 20 世纪 40 年代首次被定义时，是指一小部分在社交互动、沟通和行为方面存在严重困难的儿童。”
“如今，任何年龄或智力水平的人，只要符合某些标准，都可以被诊断为自闭症。”
“现在是时候审视自闭症谱系是否变得过于广泛了。”
“如果没有更高的精准度，我们可能会面临误解人们需求并误导护理的风险。”

婴儿 Theo 成为首位在母亲子宫内就将肠道推回腹腔的英国儿童。他患有腹裂症，即肚脐发育不良，导致食物管在体外生长。
母亲 Maisie Savage，29 岁，在怀孕 24 周时，她和 Theo 的父亲 Josh French，36 岁，获得了在德克萨斯儿童医院进行这项先驱手术的选择。伦敦的大奥蒙德街医院的医生表示，她必须立即飞往美国并停留至分娩。
首先，她必须前往比利时的鲁汶医院——该手术临床试验的第三个合作伙伴——注射肉毒杆菌毒素。药物通过她的子宫注入 Theo 的腹部，以放松腹壁，简化修复工作。
在德克萨斯州，外科医生 Michael Belfort 医生暴露了 Maisie 的子宫并排干羊水，然后注入 CO2 以创造更多空间。通过微创手术，Theo 的肠道被塞回体内并缝合。
三个月后于 2 月分娩的 Maisie 说：“他是一个小奇迹，不是吗？”
“他们所做的一切完全逆转了原本可能是他生命中一个非常可怕的开始，他现在非常好。”
“从本质上讲，他就是一个完全正常的婴儿。”
该家庭目前在伦敦家中恢复，并在 BBC Breakfast 节目中讲述了他们的
不可思议的治疗
故事。Maisie 留下了一个比剖腹产切口大两倍的疤痕，她说：“康复过程很艰辛。但这是值得的。”
腹裂症每年影响英国约 3,000 分之一的婴儿，通常在 20 周扫描时被发现。
他们通常在出生后接受手术，需要在重症监护室待数周并通过管喂食。像 Theo 这样患有严重形式的患者可能需要多次手术。在某些情况下，这种缺陷可能是致命的。
他是全球第三个接受该手术的人，如果该手术继续取得成功，英国的患者也可以实施此项手术。 该手术与用于治疗脊柱裂婴儿的手术相似，医生会封闭脊柱的缺口，通常在怀孕 19 到 26 周之间进行。 格雷特奥蒙德街医院（Great Ormond Street）的胎儿及儿科外科顾问 Paolo De Coppi 表示，Theo “恢复得非常好”。 他补充道：“此前治疗脊柱裂的成功率表明，这基本上可以为腹分裂症提供一种治愈方法。如果结果积极，我们希望这能成为复杂腹分裂症病例的标准手术。家庭在孩子出生后能更快地回家，带着一个健康的宝宝，且几乎看不出生命之初经历的坎坷——整个过程非常令人兴奋，是团队协作的重大成果。” 德克萨斯州医院的首席产科和妇科医生 Belfort 博士说：“母亲、婴儿、手术、手术时间，以及我们实现了零……”

血压临床试验证明了英国医生的实力
我们中每三个人就有一个患有高血压——且数百万人对此并不知情——难怪它被称为沉默的杀手。 对于那些已被诊断出患病的人来说，每日服用药物有助于将这种致命疾病控制在一定范围内。 但是，就像任何事情一样，记得吃药说起来容易做起来难。 现代世界的奇迹之一便是医学科学的飞速发展。现在，英国 14 million 名患者看到了希望，那就是一种每半年注射一次的疫苗。 相关试验正在进行中，如果成功，可能会改变高血压管理的方式。 这种病症是导致心脏病发作和中风的主要原因，但许多人难以将血压读数降低到健康范围。有些人被迫每天吞下多种药物，而这反过来又会导致头晕、头痛和疲劳。 这项由英国支持的注射疗法是一种长效治疗，人们希望患者的血压能获得持续降低。 我们祝愿位于 伦敦 的巴茨健康 NHS 信托（Barts Health NHS Trust）的专家们顺利，他们正协助研究包括 英国 全境在内的 11,000 人。医学科学很少停止带给我们惊喜，但我们也知道它并不总是能像我们希望的那样奏效。 但我们应当永远感激这个国家拥有繁荣的研究与开发产业，它正在为数百万普通民众及其依赖他们的挚爱之人带来切实的影响。
在经历了数十年的不作为和惯性之后，毫无疑问，我们在英吉利海峡移民危机中已经达到了一个临界点。随着每一周的流逝，在这一段今年已有数千名移民成功通过的危险水域中，又会发生一起令人触目惊心的悲剧。
协助从法国北部过海的犯罪集团以人类的痛苦为交易筹码，而且他们深知，在其肮脏的勾当中，死亡仅仅是一个不便但不可避免的结果。显然，尽管获得了数十亿英镑的英国纳税人资金，法国当局对于阻止驶向我们方向的船只几乎没有兴趣，也没有动力。
无论从哪个角度衡量，这都是一场丑闻。那么，该怎么做？奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）的答案是请求皇家海军来守卫这段相对较短的水域。
虽然我们同意不惜一切代价阻止船只的目标，但我们对其执行此项政策的实际操作持有疑虑。但有一点是可以肯定的：左翼的人权律师大军将对这种能够获得许多人全力支持的方案在法庭上进行激烈的对决而垂涎三尺，因为这意味着丰厚的获利前景。
神迹之婴西奥
小婴儿西奥是百万分之一的幸运儿，他的生命归功于现代医学的奇迹。他在仍处于子宫内时，就接受了全球首例成功矫正出生缺陷的手术。
在他母亲梅西·萨维奇（Maisie Savage）怀孕 26 周时，他被诊断出患有腹裂症（胃裂），即肠道在身体外部发育。如今五个月大且生长旺盛的小西奥，完全有理由称自己是一个奇迹。
国防部面临的首要威胁是
不是俄罗斯、中国或 伊朗，而是财政部 不是俄罗斯、中国或伊朗，而是财政部
新任首相还没来得及在唐宁街10号量好窗帘的尺寸，各项公告就已经接踵而至——削减能源账单、限制巴士票价以及应对生活成本。预计后续还将有更多措施。但每一项都伴随着沉重的代价。安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）的国内政治策略显而易见：赢回工党的传统选民，缓解生活成本，恢复对公共服务的信心，塑造一个能够在三年后赢得选举的能干政府的叙事。鉴于伯纳姆渴望扭转四十年的新自由主义，这一切并不令人惊讶。
缺失的是一种认知，即国内优先事项不能与国际现实脱节。哈罗德·麦米伦（Harold Macmillan）曾有名言，警告政府最终是由“事件”所塑造的。伯纳姆就职的第一天，正值一艘俄罗斯军舰在英吉利海峡进行实弹演习——这提醒人们，当政府在量窗帘尺寸时，世界并不会停下来。而且，英国已经陷入了“灰色地带”战争。
俄罗斯的导弹几乎成了干扰项。更大的担忧在于波涛之下，那里的电缆、管道和其他关键基础设施依然脆弱。我认为，灰色地带战争的第一条原则很简单：保护你的经济。而这正是英国最脆弱的地方。是的，在经历了多年的衰落后，我们的常规武装力量需要重建。但国土韧性同样重要。
英国的防空能力有限。我们的能源基础设施、海底电缆和数据网络处于危险的暴露状态。一次重大的网络攻击破坏我们部分国家基础设施只是时间问题。然而，人们至今仍未醒悟。我们的经济与安全不可分割，两者互为依赖。
那么，这个政府对国防的重视程度如何？关于蕾切尔·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）可能出任国防大臣的建议，几乎表明国家安全并未处于政府思考的核心位置。
事实上，国防对韦斯·斯特里廷（Wes Streeting）来说是一项新职责。幸运的是，大部分基础工作已经完成。2025年战略国防审查确定了威胁。近期的国防投资计划规划了如何填补英国的能力差距。他的任务很明确：说服财政部为此买单。
国防部面临的第一大威胁不是俄罗斯、中国或伊朗，而是财政部。当预算被封顶时，能力就会被削减。

赫库力斯 (Hercules) 被取消。勇士 (Warrior) 被放弃。83 型消失。F-35B 战斗机、挑战者 3 (Challenger 3) 坦克和 45 型驱逐舰等平台的订单被削减。然而，战争的性质变化之快，已超过了我们的预算。国防部门现在必须资助无人机、人工智能、网络、空间、电子战、自主系统以及关键国家基础设施的保护，同时仍需维持用于威慑常规攻击的装备和人员。
威胁在倍增，而预算却没有。到目前为止，伯纳姆 (Burnham) 仍拒绝承诺在 2030 年前将国防支出提高到 GDP 的 3%。
奇怪的是，当斯特里廷 (Streeting) 被问及近期俄罗斯的海军活动时，他评论说这“仅仅是冰山一角”。他显然已经阅读了每一任国防大臣入职时都会收到的一份机密简报。他现在明白了威胁形势演变的速度之快。这就是困境所在。如果斯特里廷和伯纳姆公开俄罗斯、中国和伊朗在战争阈值之下所做事情的全貌，那么国防支出的支持度几乎肯定会更高。公众将明白英国已经变得多么脆弱。
根据预算责任办公室 (Office for Budget Responsibility) 的估计，在本十年末，将国防支出达到 GDP 的 3% 将需要每年约 £17bn——相当于在所得税中增加约 1.5p，或者少于每天一杯外带咖啡的价格。如果我们准备面对福利账单（从 90 年代的 GDP 约 5% 上升到如今的 13%），那么所需资金将更少。
凯米·巴德诺克 (Kemi Badenoch) 已经提出愿意在国防问题上与伯纳姆合作。安全绝不应成为党派问题。请将国防支出专款专用。保护经济。加强威慑。因为威慑永远比战争更便宜。

又是一天，又一次针对一名工党大臣简历的审查。这次轮到了“税收混乱”的安吉拉·雷纳 (Angela Rayner)。她声称自己在地方政府担任家庭护理工作者期间有 14 年的服务年限，但她给出的其他描述表明时间远少于此。
看来，这种差异源于在担任家庭护理工作者的期间，很大一部分时间实际上是在为 Unison 担任工会分会秘书。我不确定哪个更糟糕——是另一个误导性的简历，还是安吉拉和 Unison 让斯托克波特 (Stockport) 市议会的纳税人为工会活动买单。
我不介意她从事什么工作，但我介意纳税人被强迫为工会设施时间付费。工会工作应该由工会会费支付。这要求真的太过分了吗？
新任财政大臣约翰·希利 (John Healey) 毫无延迟地让自己出丑，他说他不会允许超市通过高价敲诈客户。
超市是英国竞争最激烈、运行效率最高的企业，且在极低的利润率下运作。希利难道不知道吗？
他打算怎么做？在超市强制实施价格上限，从而导致货架空空如也吗？目前只有一个组织在过度收费并敲诈公众，那就是政府，以及它所主导的令人瞠目结舌的税收负担。
给保守党地区市长本·胡琴 (Ben Houchen) 和保罗·布里斯托 (Paul Bristow) 打满分，他们揭露了安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 对权力下放那备受吹捧的信念在多大程度上是一场骗局。本表示，他收到的任何额外资金，他都希望以减税的形式返还给当地人，以刺激
非法移民是我们面临的最大问题之一——如果你所在地区有移民酒店，或者你的街道上开了多出租房（HMO），情况就更甚。但安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）并不这么认为，自从成为首相以来，他竭尽全力回避这个话题——上帝保佑我们，他甚至宁愿在 TikTok 上讨论他怎么喝茶，以及面包卷（baps）是否应该被称为 barms，也不愿处理移民问题。但在上周三，仅九艘船就有 752 名非法移民抵达——这是今年单日抵达人数最高的一次，打破了上个月 710 人的记录。伯纳姆将无法再回避这个问题，尤其是现在他心爱的欧盟（由意大利领导）在塞乌塔（Ceuta）西班牙飞地遭到 60,000 名移民入侵后，正寻求采取更强硬的立场。意大利立即对从西班牙经由海路或空路抵达的人员实施边境检查，暂停了申根区自由移动规则。22 个申根成员国已致信布鲁塞尔，要求就移民紧急情况召开紧急会议。在发生一系列伊斯兰袭击事件（最近一次是上个月在柏林骄傲节）之后，德国也采取了强硬路线，并与奥地利、丹麦和荷兰一起，寻求第三方国家在离岸处理其移民，效仿与阿尔巴尼亚达成协议的意大利。英国实际上在里希·苏纳克（Rishi Sunak）和上一届保守党政府时期，通过同意与卢旺达达成协议而开创了这种方法，但工党在就任第一天就愚蠢地撤销了该协议。因此，虽然这里的政治右翼党派——保守党、改革党（Reform）和恢复党（Restore）——已承诺退出《欧洲人权公约》，废除托尼·布莱尔（Tony Blair）的《人权法案》，并更新难民公约以
应对非法移民，工党（首先是在基尔·斯塔默 [Keir Starmer] 领导下，现在是伯纳姆领导下）以及那些政治左翼党派，拒绝支持这些措施，或者任何其他相关措施。 令人庆幸的是，斯塔默和赫默勋爵（Lord Hermer）这对人权法律搭档可能已经离开了政府，但他们的意识形态深深植根于工党的 DNA 中，而开放边境就是其中一个重要组成部分。伯纳姆不想讨论这个问题，因为他对此并不反感，而且他绝不会考虑唯一现实且有效的应对方案——拘留和遣返非法移民。事实上，他已经在考虑削弱其内政大臣关于在英国获得永久居留资格需满足 10 年要求这一强硬立场。他及其后座议员仍在推动与欧洲建立青年自由移动计划，寻求更多进入英国的安全路径，并旨在减少移民审批积压，实际上是为所有人提供快速通道，给予进入英国的免费通行证。安迪·伯纳姆可能会比他预想中更早地发现，公众想要的是一位能彻底解决非法移民问题的首相，而不是一个二线名人 TikTok 播主的陈词滥调。
经济——结果被告知，伯纳姆形式上的权力下放意味着你实际上不能做自己的决定，你只能做政府认可的决定。这算什么权力下放！ 保罗（Paul）随后强调，尽管被承诺如果取得成功可以保留更多自己的资金，但细则却写着资金将从成功地区提取并交给不那么成功的地区。 难怪首相宁愿讨论他更喜欢猪皮卷还是炸虾条。他的权力下放政策和他本人一样空洞。

来自票房 小汤姆
《蜘蛛侠：崭新之日》（SPIDER-MAN: Brand New Day），由汤姆·赫兰德（Tom Holland）及其美丽的妻子赞达亚（Zendaya，左）主演，打破了所有首日记录，电影共狂揽 $168m，使汤姆成为自迈克尔·凯恩（Michael Caine）以来，伦敦向好莱坞输出的最大票房与流行文化符号。没多少人知道这一点！
我极力支持警察，但他们的一些高级警官简直在帮倒忙，比如西米德兰兹郡警局（West Midlands Police），他们竟然鼓励非穆斯林警官在穆斯林斋月期间禁食。 在穆斯林警察协会的组织下，高级警官们称此举将有助于培养职场的团结与包容，帮助同事们理解神圣之月所需的生理和心理克制。 简直是一堆政治正确的废话。他们难道真的没有更重要的事情可做吗？ 我对西米德兰兹郡警局的建议是：停止这种令人愤怒的“美德信号”传递，集中精力回到街头，保护公众并缉捕罪犯。

ABS 和 Geoff 已经表态了——这也许不是我们预期会听到的消息。你可以忘掉那些政治专家了。安德鲁·尼尔（Andrew Neil）和约翰·库蒂斯（John Curtice）在我姻亲面前根本不够看，常读读者知道，他们是我政治风向标。 对于刚开始读本专栏的新读者，他们是理智、优秀的英国人。他们拥有自己的住房，直到 70 多岁依然在努力工作，而且似乎总能洞察英国绝大多数人的想法。 他们也是典型的摇摆选民。 为了提供重要的背景信息，多年来他们既投过工党的票，也投过保守党的票。然而，值得注意的是，他们非常厌恶基尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer），而相比之下，他们是奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage）的粉丝。 我在之前的专栏中提到过，我认为前曼彻斯特市长、现任首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）是一个非常讨人喜欢的小伙子。他是北方人，对于像我这样一个来自米德尔斯布勒（Middlesbrough）的女孩来说，这可是好兆头。而且他不是一个像机器人一样无趣的傻瓜。 天哪，就在前几天，当他和他的财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）在社交媒体上评选最受欢迎的酒吧小吃时，就连我也在旁开心地发笑。毕竟，政治家也可以有点乐趣。 而且民调中似乎出现了“伯纳姆反弹”，目前有几项民调显示工党与改革党及保守党持平或领先。作为一名保守党议员，我带着一丝忐忑，询问了我丈夫的父母对我们新任首相——十年来的第七位首相——的看法。

“他在胡说八道。”噢！巴布斯一如既往地直率且犀利——但老实说，考虑到这位目前备受瞩目的“新秀”所引发的轰动，这并非我预期的结论。他们的质疑集中在一件事上：钱。他们想确切知道他目前的各项声明——£2 巴士票价上限、酒吧商业税减免以及能源增值税削减——其资金“究竟从哪里来”。
他们还表示，尽管他最近做出了承诺，但由于与斯塔默失败的原因相同，他将无法削减福利。
随后巴布斯为了增强语气地补充道：“而且他没有授权！”
一旦夏季假期的愚蠢季节结束，我相信，人们关注的焦点也将从“爸爸舞”转向实际的政策决定。然而，我绝对认为我们保守党人——或者就法拉奇而言——不能过于自满。
尽管我的姻亲有所保留，但选民在支持一个政党的同时，往往也支持一个人——而且我认为伯纳姆确实证明了自己是一个难以让人讨厌的人。

思考 觉得鸡块好吃？鸡腿让你垂涎欲滴？那么，显然，是时候重新审视你的生活选择，前往“鸡类共情博物馆”了。
是的，你没读错。如果疯狂的 Peta 活动人士如愿以偿，兰开夏郡弗利特伍德的一家前 KFC 门店将被改造为一个景点，恳请人们在大快朵颐之前思考一下鸡的感受。
该组织素食项目副总裁道恩·卡尔对这座目前正在出售的建筑寄予希望。她表示：“这样一个景点将把一座曾经与销售死鸡部位相关的建筑，变成一座颂扬活鸡之心的建筑。”
当地工党议员玛丽·贝尔肖表示这是一个“新颖的想法”，并且她宁愿要这座“博物馆”，也不愿在我们的商业街上看到“另一处巨大的空置房产”。别误会，我爱鸡——但通常是炸鸡的那种。
哈里王子和梅根已经离开英国海岸，回到了他们往常的加州生活模式中。但梅根在回顾假期时流露出了眷恋，她在 Instagram 页面上发布了一组照片，并配上了克里夫·理查德那首欢快的曲子《Summer Holiday》。
目光敏锐的王室观察者很快发现，其中一张照片是在阿尔索普拍摄的，那里是戴安娜王妃的安息之地。这张照片是从背后拍摄的，推测是梅根拍的，画面中哈里王子、阿奇王子和莉贝特公主抱着一大把花在表达敬意。
对许多人来说，这本应是一个私人时刻——但出于某种奇怪的原因，梅根似乎无法分辨这种区别。无论如何，我想这对于修复破裂的关系毫无帮助，而这对夫妇执意过度分享正是矛盾的核心。他们能吸取教训吗？我对此不抱希望。
农民们警告称，持久的干旱可能会导致食品短缺。 英国国家农民联盟（National Farmers’ Union）主席汤姆·布拉德肖（Tom Bradshaw）表示：“水资源安全就是粮食安全，而粮食安全是我们国家安全的一部分。感觉确实会出现一些[食品]产品的短缺。” 他表示，一些畜牧业农民现在正在使用冬季饲料，因为他们无法通过生长草类来喂养其羊群和牛群。 马铃薯也深受干旱影响，因为该作物有一半需要灌溉。 由于极端天气，许多耕种农民被迫将小麦收获期提前了数周——在某些情况下，这是至少 20 年来最早的收获期——这影响了产量。 林肯郡的农民安德鲁·沃德（Andrew Ward）表示，他最后一次见到下雨是在 6 月 11, 而且当时仅有 4 毫米。他说：“没有水就无法种植作物和生产食物，就这么简单。”沃德先生补充说，由于天气原因，他的农场小麦收获提前了一个月完成，且产量较低。他警告称：“毫无疑问，全国范围内我们将会出现小麦短缺。” 纽卡斯尔大学水文学讲师安娜·默加特罗伊德（Anna Murgatroyd）博士表示：“我想我们将开始看到的一件事就是食品价格上涨。我们可能会在货架上看到来自英国的食品减少。”
“根据接下来的几周和几个月内发生的情况，我们甚至可能会开始看到短缺。” 一些已经受到化肥及其他成本飙升打击的农民决定退出该行业——代理商表示，待售农场的数量达到了前所未有的程度。

布拉德肖先生还主张给予农民税收减免，以便他们在土地上建设蓄水系统。 他指出：“目前我们依赖生产食品和蔬菜的世界其他国家，它们的气候也在发生变化。” 当被问及政府是否担心食品短缺时，首相发言人表示：“粮食安全就是国家安全，这就是为什么我们正与农民、环境署（Environment Agency）及水务部门密切合作，以管理这次异常干旱天气带来的影响。” “我们意识到农民面临的压力。这就是为什么我们投资于长期水资源韧性，支持我们的农场水安全并支持英国食品生产。”
“在干旱韧性方面，政府正在推动对水利基础设施的记录级投资，包括九个新水库。” 热浪仍在继续，预计英格兰中部和南部大部分地区今天的最高气温将在 28-30°C 左右，随后气温将在本周晚些时候缓解。 英国北部和西部地区今天和明天可能会有雨，东南部会有阵雨。 但气象局（Met Office）表示，8 月似乎不会带来能够扭转干旱状况所需的持续降雨，目前整个威尔士和一半的英格兰已正式处于干旱状态。

数十万英国游客的计划受到影响。警告对象包括“健康且活跃”的人群以及脆弱群体。 在法国，包括来自乌克兰的救援队在内的消防员们正在扑灭吉伦特（Gironde）特大火灾后留下的一片面积比巴黎大四倍的焦土。在波尔多附近的勒波尔日（Le Porge），当火焰揭露了第二次世界大战时期的炮弹时，危险程度进一步增加。 荷兰表示，其消防员正在处理林堡省（Limburg）德罗斯莫伦（De Rosmolen）保护区的一场 21 公顷大火。 与此同时，由于多瑙河水位创历史新低，匈牙利和罗马尼亚在被迫关闭由该河冷却的核反应堆后，面临停电。

一名护理员在窃取一名养老金领取者 300,000 英镑的毕生积蓄后潜逃至西班牙 16 个月，现终于被判入狱。 帕梅拉·格温尼特 (Pamela Gwinnett)，63 岁，在等待审判期间处于保释状态，随后乘飞机离境，此前她清空了信任她的琼·格林 (Joan Green)，89 岁的银行账户。 她于 2025 年 4 月逃往特内里费岛，而就在此前五小时，她申请变更保释条件的请求被拒绝——据称该申请是为了让她能在岛上撒掉哥哥的骨灰。 去年 10 月，在普雷斯顿刑事法院，陪审团在被告缺席的情况下判定其有罪，并判处其因盗窃和诈骗入狱六年。愤怒的迈克尔·马赫 (Michael Maher) 法官表示，她“厚颜无耻”。
现在——在经过上周五的引渡后——她已被关押。在她承认违反保释条件后，马赫法官在她的刑期中增加了两个月。 法官告诉她：“正如我在 10 月份所说的，你对待这个过程就像对待琼·格林那样，完全不屑一顾。” “从未有证据证明其兄长的存在，更不用说他已经去世。这是一次蓄意且持续的逃避司法公正的行为。” 法官赞扬记者们“让此案处于公众视野中”，并确保格温尼特（右图）被追究责任。 来自兰开郡阿德灵顿的格温尼特在成为这名退休会计师在乔利 (Chorley) 的护理员时，掠夺了她的积蓄。她掌控了这位养老金领取者的财务状况，并将其与家人隔离。 格温尼特在获得法律授权书之前，对格林夫人的继女和继孙子提出了虚假指控，包括盗窃和疏忽。她利用格林夫人的现金资助奢侈的生活方式，购买了一辆价值 22,500 英镑的汽车，并接受昂贵的美容和肉毒杆菌治疗。 格温尼特最终于 7 月 14 日在其特内里费岛的公寓被捕，并在上周五被引渡抵达曼彻斯特机场后进一步被拘留。 在昨天的判决后，琼的继孙波尔顿先生表示，格温尼特造成了“巨大的压力、不安和心碎”。他的妻子丽贝卡补充说，“终于看到正义得到伸张，真是太好了”。格温尼特已被命令偿还其窃取的资金。 调查警员乔治亚·劳顿 (Georgia Loughton) 表示：“我们不懈地致力于将她带回英国，她现在将在英国的监狱中服刑。”
谋杀指控中 ‘无罪’抗辩

一名 X Factor 前决赛入围者否认用汽车将一名社交媒体影响力人物撞死而构成谋杀。 加布里埃尔·卡灵顿 (Gabrielle Carrington)，29 岁，被指控于 4 月 19 日凌晨 4.30 分在伦敦 Soho 区的 Inca 夜总会外撞击了克劳迪娅·扎克热夫斯卡 (Klaudia Zakrzewska)。 她还否认故意造成严重身体伤害 (GBH) 导致保安阿努什·奇切 (Anoush Chyche) 受伤。 卡灵顿并未被要求对一项醉酒驾驶的指控进行抗辩。 卡灵顿同样是一名社交媒体影响力人物，她通过视频链接从萨里郡的布朗兹菲尔德监狱出席老贝利法院的审理，并表示尽管没有大律师，但她“很乐意进行抗辩”。 她穿着一件低胸黑色上衣，头发向后梳起，并告诉莎拉·怀特豪斯 (Sarah Whitehouse) KC 法官，在“可预见的未来”内她不想为自己辩护。 这位来自曼彻斯特的被告下次出庭时间为 8 月 11 日。她的审判将于 1 月 5 日开始。
记者兼广播员 Rod Liddle 已于 66 岁去世。他是一位不可替代的作家，其犀利的机智以及不妥协、非传统的态度，使他在工作中踏入了极少有评论员敢于涉足的领域。他在 1998 到 2002 年期间担任《Today》节目的编辑，在就乡村联盟（Countryside Alliance）撰写了不慎之词后辞职。基于公正性的要求，他必须在 BBC 和他的报纸专栏之间做出选择，不出所料，他选择了后者。当时，在幕后掌控 Radio 4 的旗舰节目是媒体界最受推崇的工作之一，每周有七百万听众，其中包括首相。在离开并开始自由职业生涯后，Liddle 充满争议且经常令人捧腹的观点很快让他稳居舞台中心，并在接下来的余生中一直处于这个位置。随后，他在《旁观者》（The Spectator）、《星期日泰晤士报》（The Sunday Times）和《太阳报》（The Sun）撰写每周专栏。虽然他曾将自己描述为“蓝色工党”（Blue Labour），但他成为了英国最深刻的右翼评论员之一。保守党领袖 Kemi Badenoch 表示，近几周她很想念 Liddle 的专栏。关于他的去世，她说道：“我无法用言语表达这对新闻业、对他读者，尤其是对他朋友和家人来说是多么令人悲痛。” Liddle 带来的震撼与娱乐效果相当，他的观点有时会引发关于厌女症和种族主义的指责。2021 年 12 月，当他在达勒姆大学发表一场晚餐后演讲，且其中包含被认为具有冒犯性的关于跨性别者、殖民主义和性工作者的言论时，该校学生举行了大规模罢课。2018 年，他在撰文称第二塞文跨海大桥将威尔士与“第一世界”联系在一起后，在威尔士引发了愤怒。而在 2019 年，他因一篇杂志文章而受到抨击，该文章似乎呼吁通过在大学关闭之日举行投票以有利于保守党，并禁止穆斯林投票。
他为自己辩护称，这是讽刺手法，且如果言论自由不包括引起冒犯的自由，那么言论自由将毫无意义。Liddle 还是播客和广播节目的常驻贡献者，并制作了几部纪录片，包括 2005 年由第四频道（Channel 4）播出的《移民是一颗定时炸弹》（Immigration is a Time Bomb）。该片引发了投诉，称当时的 BNP 领袖 Nick Griffin 被允许在没有质疑的情况下发言。Ofcom 裁定该节目是公正的。该节目提出的大多数论点——包括剧烈的人口增长，以及自由民主制与原教旨宗教之间冲突给公共服务带来的压力——现在已成为主流。近期，Liddle 在 Times Radio 主持一个每周节目。他在《旁观者》前台遇到 Alicia Monckton 后，离开了第一任妻子记者 Rachel Royce。两人于 2008 年结婚。他在经历短时间患病后，于周日在米德尔斯堡（Middlesbrough）的詹姆斯·库克大学医院去世。他的孩子——来自第一段婚姻的 Wilde 和 Tyler，以及来自第二段婚姻的 Emmeline——表示：“我们对我们伟大的父亲突然离世感到非常悲痛和震惊。他抚养我们的方式正如你们所想象的那样，让我们保持好奇心、勇敢且始终幽默。即使在过去几周住院期间，他依然掌控着整个房间的气氛，从未表现出糟糕的处境。他留下的遗产令我们无比自豪——他将永远指引我们如何过非凡的一生。” Liddle 出生于肯特郡的 Sidcup，最初在《南威尔士回声报》（South Wales Echo）和《西方邮报》（Western Mail）担任记者，并在 1983-1987 年间担任工党的助理研究员和演讲稿撰稿人——那是工党最不成功的时期之一。在重返大学——伦敦政治经济学院（London School of Economics）之后，他加入 BBC 担任实习制片人，并于 1998 年成为《Today》的编辑。他穿着没塞进裤子的衬衫，留着一头乱发，散发出摇滚明星般的能量，并且被戏称为
“他是独一无二的”且是 “真正伟大的记者”
同事们称他为“Mod之罗德”。当时的《Today》主栏目主持人约翰·汉弗里斯（John Humphrys）表示：“与罗德共事非常愉快。我们吵得不可开交——我不记得他解雇了我多少次，或者我愤怒辞职了多少次。” “他懂得如何把握人们的心理。他身上有一种非常神奇的特质。你永远不知道最终会得出什么样的结果。他是独一无二的。” 另一位主持人贾斯汀·韦伯（Justin Webb）补充道：“在很多方面，他与他喜欢塑造的形象截然相反。他深切地关心人们以及文明的行为……但他对权威也持有真正的敌意，而这正是真正伟大记者的标志。” 《星期日泰晤士报》编辑本·泰勒（Ben Taylor）表示：“罗德拥有极佳的语言天赋，并利用他独特的天赋为读者发声，揭露困扰现代生活的伪善与荒诞。我们将深深地思念他。”

喜剧演员吉米·克里克 (Jimmy Cricket) 在短时间患病后于 80 岁去世。 这位北爱尔兰脱口秀喜剧演员（见插图）于昨日上午去世，在最后几天里，他“被家人、爱、笑声和歌曲围绕”。 亲属补充说，他一直是“快乐的动力”，而今天的世界变得“远没有那么滑稽了”。 他们表示：“吉米给无数观众带来了这么多笑声和快乐。但这与他带给家人的幸福相比根本不算什么。他是陪伴了梅（May）五十二年的忠诚丈夫。他是四个孩子心中完美的父亲，也确实是一个非常滑稽的爷爷，照顾着他的四个孙辈。” “他永远是我们的丑角，直到最后，他还在给优秀的 NHS 员工以及我们所有人讲笑话。” 这位明星因其在 2015. 的慈善工作而获得了教皇方济各授予的教皇骑士勋衔。喜剧演员蒂姆·Vine (Tim Vine) 将他描述为一名“可爱、令人鼓舞且幽默的人”。

名人秀：《叛徒》(Traitors) 决赛选手 David Olusoga 回击那些认为他不该接受 OBE 勋章的“特权白人中产阶级”。 这位英国-尼日利亚裔历史学家、作家、广播员及 BAFTA 获奖电影制作人于 2019 年因在历史和社区融合方面的贡献而被伊丽莎白女王授予该奖项。 但他透露，由于他的血统和肤色，他一直承受着尖刻的言论。 56 岁的 David 表示：“经常有特权白人中产阶级告诉我，一个黑人接受 OBE 勋章是一件糟糕的事情，我认为他们低估了这意味着什么。” “对于一个移民来说，拒绝一项国家荣誉与一个在这里出生的人拒绝它，是两回事。”

这位曼彻斯特大学的公共历史学教授通过包括 BBC2 的《A House Through Time》在内的电视节目，已成为英国最著名的历史学家之一。
去年，他进入了首届《名人叛徒》（Celebrity Traitors）的决赛圈。在接受今日发售的新版《广播时报》（Radio Times）采访时，他表示： “我的母亲是英国人，但国籍是随父定的。当我第一次来到这个国家时，我是尼日利亚人。我在后来的生活中加入了英国国籍。我还是个小男孩时就从尼日利亚来到了这里，在我的母亲的大力帮助下，这个国家对我进行了培养。” “拒绝一项荣誉将是一种轻视。我不想轻视一个我已成为其公民且是我之国家的国家。” 56 岁的奥卢索加（Mr Olusoga）在盖茨黑德（Gateshead）的一个市政住宅区长大，他表示自己最大的成就是“在母亲的帮助下，让自己离开了那个市政住宅区以及那些对失败的预期。” “我就读的学校里，人们对成功没有期待。”

TRISTAN KIRK 报道
畅销书作者 Lynda La Plante 已被取消驾驶资格六个月，尽管她在法庭上含泪表示，禁令将终结她的职业生涯。 这位 83 岁的犯罪小说作家昨天承认，在 2025 年 11 月至今年 4 月期间，在她家附近五次违反了 20 英里 / 小时的限速规定。 她告诉薰衣草山地方法院，她需要用车去接触罪犯和其他线索来源以进行研究。 来自伦敦西南部金斯顿的 La Plante 表示，禁驾还将使她无法开车带心爱的守卫犬 Theo 去 Roehampton 操场散步。 她告诉法庭，如果无法开车带狗每天散步，她认为不得不给这只狗找新家，她说：“我认为这种情感上的痛苦将真正毁掉我作为作家的职业生涯。这非常、非常孤独，而我工作极其努力，否则我将就此停止。” La Plante 以创作《首席嫌疑人》中的总警司 Jane Tennison 而闻名，她承认曾两次以 24 英里 / 小时的速度行驶，以及 25 英里 / 小时、26 英里 / 小时和 27 英里 / 小时。 地方法官对 La Plante 处以总计 £3,330 的罚款，并判处其六个月的禁驾。
一名子爵及前工党世袭贵族在伦敦 20 英里 / 小时限速区内被查出以 27 英里 / 小时的速度行驶，现计划提出特殊理由以试图避免禁驾。 西敏地方法院获悉，汉沃斯第三代子爵 David Stephen Geoffrey Pollock 于 2 月 4 日在伊斯灵顿被测速相机拍到。 这位 80 岁的老人在 7 月 25 日承认超过 20 英里 / 小时的限速。他预计将于 10 月 7 日返回参加特殊理由听证会。

行进之路
作者：Matt Nixson
这里正展开一场关于乡村的新争端。这一次，争论的焦点不再是狐狸狩猎、非法倾倒垃圾或像“再野化”这样的环保实践。新的战场聚焦在推动国家人工智能 (AI) 革命所需的巨型数据中心上。英国目前已有约 550 至 565 个在运行的数据中心——本质上是装满了先进计算机处理器的巨型工业仓库——但政府和工业界的预测显示，到 2030. 年，容量需求需要从 1.6 吉瓦 (GW) 增加到 3. 3GW 至 6. 3GW 左右，规模翻倍还多。工党一直希望通过数据中心建设潮来驱动经济增长。在 2024, 年，政府将数据中心指定为关键国家基础设施，这意味着在规划方面，它们与水务、能源和应急服务系统处于同等地位。但反对这些计划的活动人士坚持认为，英国的 AI 经济绝不能以牺牲英国的粮食安全、农村社区和农业遗产为代价。
在英国，数据中心每天已经使用了超过 14 million 升水。由于记录低降雨量期间出现热浪且气温异常高，英格兰目前已有七个地区被正式宣布处于干旱状态，人们对水安全感到担忧。能源监管机构 Ofgem 同时也提出了一个前景：数以百计的投机项目将给国家电网带来巨大的额外电力需求。在爱尔兰，根据该国中央统计局的官方数据，数据中心已占全国总电表电耗的 23%——几乎与全国所有住宅的用电量相当，而 2015. 年这一比例仅为 5%。而且，这种博弈并不只发生在欧洲。上周，乡村音乐之星威利·纳尔逊 (Willie Nelson) 敦促美国社区团结起来，共同“对抗”建设更多服务器仓库的计划，包括他在德克萨斯州阿伯特 (Abbott) 的成长地及现居地。
93, 岁的纳尔逊是一位热情的环保活动人士，也是 Farm Aid 的联合创始人。Farm Aid 40 年来一直致力于防止大型工厂化农场取代家族所有土地。他在一封公开信中写道：“我们的社区就像许多其他社区一样，需要对抗侵占我们土地的数据中心。我们最不需要的就是在我们的城镇附近，或者任何其他地方，出现一个嘈杂的、窃取水资源的、造成光污染的数据中心。”
这位歌手补充道：“美国乡村的力量从未来自巨大的工业足迹。它来自世世代代的人们、开阔的空间、当地企业以及与土地的联系。”
纳尔逊的观点得到了北德文郡活动人士的全心认同。在西康郡，人们对于将 850 英亩以上的农地转变为一个巨大的数据中心园区——这将是欧洲同类项目中规模最大的一座——的计划反应日益激烈，该园区位于宜人的集镇格雷特托灵顿 (Great Torrington) 附近。
Xlinks 是一家自称为绿色能源公司的公司，计划建造一个数据中心和电池储能站点。该公司表示，该项目将提供高达 1. 5GW 的 AI 优化计算能力，创造至少 650 个新就业岗位，并可能为经济带来高达 £3.6billion 的价值。
反对该计划的活动人士在上个月方案公布时填满了公开会议场所，另有数百人聚集在室外街道上。反对者称，该场地将覆盖相当于四座英国平均规模农场的面积，拟建建筑预计高 40 米。人们还担心，在冷却产生大量热量的巨型计算机服务器阵列时，会对当地水供应产生影响。
第五代农民兼德文郡议会农村事务内阁成员谢丽尔·科特尔-亨金 (Cheryl Cottle-Hunkin) 告诉《农民卫报》(Farmers Guardian)：“它将比……”
威利·纳尔逊与农民谢丽尔·科特尔-亨金
附近的格雷特托灵顿镇 (Great Torrington)，并将永久改变这一乡村景观的特性。粮食安全即是国家安全，如此规模的优质农业用地损失应当引起每个人的关注。”
她强调了环境方面的影响，从失去拥有悠久历史的德文郡树篱，到联合国教科文组织生物圈保护区内野生动物栖息地的破坏。
科特尔-亨金 (Cottle-Hunkin) 女士补充道：“北德文郡的身份认同建立在农业、粮食生产和土地管理之上，如此规模的提案需要最高级别的审查和强有力的公众辩论。”
另一位农民芭芭拉·弗赖尔 (Barbara Fryer) 告诉
数据中心
《电讯报》称，该地区的缺水问题已经成为一个难题。“那里没有足够的水，”她说道。“地下水位已经下降，草地变得枯黄，牲畜数量也减少了。我们的粮食产量在下降，这非常糟糕。这里是非常优质的农业用地，而这将毁掉这一切。” 活动人士正准备展开一场战斗，他们致信部长和德文郡的国会议员，呼吁建立一个新的“乡村影响框架”，以确保数据中心建设对粮食安全、乡村遗产和农业社区的影响能够得到妥善考虑。 Xlinks 表示，它将使用雨水来冷却这些站点，而不是从附近的托里奇河（River Torridge）抽取水资源。 英国乡村保护协会（Campaign to Protect Rural England）首席执行官罗杰·莫特洛克（Roger Mortlock）表示：“一个面积相当于 500 个足球场、建筑高度与埃克塞特大教堂相当的[数据中心]将吞噬难以想象的电能和水资源——而且在数英里外都清晰可见。” “政府并未妥善考虑数据中心造成的环境破坏，而是直接给这些庞大的基础设施项目开了绿灯，而没有考虑它们的影响，也没有思考如何才能把这些项目做好。”托里奇和塔维斯托克的国会议员杰弗里·考克斯爵士（Sir Geoffrey Cox）也对此表示担忧。 他说道：“我认为这个项目的规模与当地的景观和基础设施完全不相称。” “它要求当地社区承担不公平且不成比例的负担，通过容纳欧洲最大的 AI 数据中心和最大的电池储能设施之一，而与此同时，数千英亩的...”
都很难想象 这项提案 如何能被 认为是可以接受的”
德文郡的优质农业用地正被征用以建设太阳能公园，而我们最近获悉，电网正难以应对现有的需求。 “我们尚未看到任何详细计划，但就目前的形式而言，而且事实上，在任何可能满足开发商目标的方案中，都很难想象这项提案如何能被认为是可以接受的。” 在被要求就此发表评论时，Xlinks 此前坚称，该场地将为德文郡带来巨大的经济效益，并可以通过雨水进行部分冷却。 反对数据中心的斗争正日益转向法院。今年 4 月，活动团体 Foxglove 和 Global Action Plan 赢得了英国首起针对数据中心的法律挑战，阻止了拟建在白金汉郡 Iver Woodlands Park 场地的 £1bn 项目的推进。他们认为，政府和开发商 Greystoke 未能妥善考虑这个位于 M25 公路旁、面积达 72,000 平方米的庞大场地的能源使用和环境影响。 政府承认其未能确保“缓解措施”——这是由开发商做出并决定无需进行环境影响评估的承诺——已无法保障，从而产生了一个“严重的逻辑错误”。 Foxglove 发言人汤姆·海加蒂（Tom Hegarty）表示，Woodlands 案件创下了先例，即所有旨在免除 EIA（环境影响评估）需求的未来缓解措施必须在法律上具有强制执行力。
他补充道：“Foxglove 希望确保在英国建设的任何新数据中心实际上是对英国有益的，而不是让美国那些可疑的科技亿万富翁来收割我们的电力和水资源，并干扰我们走向安全、可再生能源未来的道路——此时气候变化引发的山火正肆虐萨福克郡。 “只有在不损害我们的气候或关键饮用水供应，且不会推高电价的情况下，才应建设新数据中心。 “绝不能允许大科技公司堆积数十亿利润，而让我们其他人来买单。” 法律先例还规定，开发商必须向国务大臣证明，任何新数据中心不会导致英国整体气候排放量增加，也不会增加国家或地区的用水短缺，且开发商必须建设新的可再生能源发电和储能能力，以及任何必要的电网连接，以完全为每个完工的设施供电。 人工智能的支持者认为，如果没有必要的数据中心，英国将获得的经济效益将会延迟或产生疑问。 但能源部门监管机构 Ofgem 上周表示，有 315 个数据中心正等待接入国家电网，总共需要 73GW 的能源，这远高于该国 45GW 的峰值能源需求。 与此同时，批评者坚持认为 AI 不能不计代价地发展。 战线已经划定。 预计这场革命之路将充满波折。

幼年白尾海雕已首次在 200 年间被重新引入埃克斯穆尔国家公园，旨在让它们重新回到英国的天空。这 6 只鸟（翼展将可达 8 英尺）是根据许可从苏格兰野外捕捉的，苏格兰在 70 年代重新引入了该物种。在释放之前，它们由专家搬运并照料，以适应新环境。
白尾海雕在 18 世纪于英格兰南部被猎杀至灭绝。英国林业委员会 (Forestry England) 和 Roy Dennis 野生动物基金会正致力于恢复该物种，自 2019 年以来已在怀特岛释放了 45 只。这些鸟类
雄鹰已在西南地区降落
开始繁殖，该地区自 1780 年以来首只野外出生的小雕于 2023 年诞生。卫星追踪显示，岛上的部分种群经常访问 100 英里外的埃克斯穆尔，证实了这里是进一步释放的绝佳地点。
这个横跨萨默塞特郡和德文郡的国家公园包含海岸线，是繁殖和觅食的理想之地。预计这些海雕将在广泛迁徙后，在 4 或 5 岁时返回繁殖。在此之前，还将有多达 20 只幼鸟被释放到埃克斯穆尔。
来自基金会的 Zoe Smith 表示：“在离开这片土地这么多年后，能够将它们带回来是一个特殊的时刻。”埃克斯穆尔国家公园管理局的高级生态学家 Ali Hawkins 表示：“这对埃克斯穆尔来说是一个令人兴奋的时刻，真正提升了国家公园的生物多样性。”
“白尾海雕在海洋和陆地生态系统中都起着至关重要的作用。”

一名能源客户对账单感到困扰且迷茫——或者更准确地说，是由于缺乏账单而困扰——因此急切地寻求“十字军”（Crusader）的帮助。 如今，大多数人都必须监控用量，因此当克里斯和卡罗尔·托德（Chris and Carol Todd）的通知神秘消失时，他们很快就变得非常担心。 这对夫妇确信，通过与供应商 E.ON 签订的直接付款协议，他们账户内有余额，而且作为谨慎的客户，他们已经积累了一笔缓冲资金以应对冬季月份。 “但在尝试了三个月后，我们仍然在努力弄清楚发生了什么，”克里斯说。“我们之前从未遇到过这样的问题，感到非常困惑。” “就像我们陷入了账单黑洞一样，压力非常大。” 最近，他们的智能电表在一次升级中被更换了，于是他们好奇，这是否与数字小故障（digital gremlins）有关？ 我们要求 E.ON 对此进行调查，很快克里斯就告诉我们：“我们刚刚接到了他们的电话，问题已经解决了。我们现在收到了账单，对于所获得的帮助和支持感到非常宽慰。” 为了认可他们所承受的焦虑和花费的时间，他们还接受了一笔 £75 的商意补偿金。 ● 姓名已更改

不要在度假时成为出租车诈骗的受害者。汽车保险提供商 Zego (zego.com) 提醒，需要警惕的危险包括：路线漫长且昂贵、声称计价器损坏、骗子盯上看起来迷路的旅客并说服他们乘坐其车辆、司机声称没有零钱，以及司机虚报乘客损坏了车辆。 必要的检查包括：查看官方执照、清晰显示的安全特征、通过可信的应用程序或认可的出租车候车点预订、使用导航应用跟踪行程以确保并非故意绕路、分享位置、使用银行卡支付并保持警觉。 相信自己的直觉，如果感觉不对就拒绝乘车，这是明智的；同样明智的做法是要求在光线充足的区域下车，并在被骗后保留并收集证据。

PROCOOK GOURMET CLASSIC 白色刀具套装，£59 购物主管 Zoe 表示：“刀具可能不是最迷人的话题，但你有多少次从厨房抽屉里拿出一把刀，却发现它钝到连番茄都切不动？我投资了 ProCook 的 5 件套，附带一个竹制收纳架，我简直不敢相信它如此地改善了我的烹饪体验。虽然我还达不到 Jamie Oliver 的水平，但自从换了这套刀，我的洋葱切丁确实变得更专业了。”

我震惊地发现我 10 岁的猫被气枪弹击中了。他走路一瘸一杏，并开始舔他的后腿。 我们的兽医从皮肤中取出了一颗弹丸。她说他很幸运，因为她见过更糟糕的情况。这是您的经验吗？可以采取什么措施？
A
我完全同意您的兽医，您的猫很幸运。虽然很难证明，但根据我的经验，近期猫咪遭受气枪伤害的情况似乎造成了更严重的损害。 可能是因为现在的气步枪比前几年更强大。不过，这也取决于猫在开枪时距离步枪有多近。 很难确定袭击的频率。在为各种其他检查拍摄 X 光片时，可能会偶然发现弹丸。 弹丸造成的入口伤口通常很小且能迅速自行愈合，如果没有发生重大损伤，猫可能几乎没有症状。 脊椎和长骨等骨骼的严重损伤很常见。 穿透动物腹部或胸部的弹丸会导致疼痛、食欲不振或呼吸困难，需要紧急兽医治疗。 值得将袭击事件报告给警方和英国皇家防止虐待动物协会 (RSPCA)，以建立一个模式。 不幸的是，证明是谁扣动了扳机很困难。 希望通过包括社交媒体在内的媒体宣传能震慑罪犯。他们需要知道射杀猫是刑事犯罪（《2006 年动物福利法》），根据 2021 年的修订，该行为将被处以无上限罚款并可能面临监禁。
我们的兽医 DAVID GRANT 展现他的神奇之处
我有一只六个月大的斯塔福郡杂交雄性犬，刚被诊断出患有一种由寄生在毛发内部的寄生虫引起的疥癣。治疗采用了一种被证明对疥癣非常有效的药物。我们的兽医希望能在几个月内治愈。这种药有副作用吗？
答：
每种药物或治疗方案都可能具有副作用。这包括在药店可直接购买的常见止痛药，以及最近开始用于治疗犬类 demodectic 疥癣的新型药物。这就是您爱犬患的病，也称为 demodectic 疥癣，由 demodex canis 螨类引起。
直到最近，这种疾病一直非常难以治愈。
您的兽医开具了一类名为 isoxazolines 的新型药物。在经过广泛的许可要求（包括临床和安全性试验）后，这些产品于 2013. 年获得了治疗犬类跳蚤和蜱虫的许可。随后，临床试验证明其对 demodectic 疥癣具有显著疗效，治愈率超过 95%。因此，该药获得了治疗 demodectic 疥癣的额外许可——这是犬类福利的一大进步。
此后，已有数百万只犬成功接受治疗，从而使评估所有副作用成为可能。大多数犬没有不良反应，偶尔有报告呕吐、腹泻、食欲下降和嗜睡。
极少数情况下会出现肌肉颤抖、抽搐和癫痫发作（每 10,000 只接受治疗的犬中不足 1 只）。患有癫痫的犬风险可能更高，建议此类犬主与兽医讨论风险 / 收益比。

英国缝纫大赛 (THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE)，BBC1，晚上 8 点 还记得 2022 年《英国烘焙大赛》的墨西哥主题周吗？主持人们摇着沙锤，戴着巨大的草帽，说着蹩脚的墨西哥口音。而且，其中一个蛋糕还长着胡子。这一切让一些观众感到不快。因此，制作方决定此后取消国家主题环节。幸运的是，这一政策并未应用于其姐妹节目《缝纫大赛》，该节目的墨西哥周依然保留。主持人索菲·威兰明智地没有佩戴假胡子或大草帽，她非常懂得如何激发热情。“你们在‘美-希-哥’！”她大声喊道。

听起来，一些建设我们铁路的人简直是令人厌恶的家伙。这是我在罗布和露丝的《富人的生活，穷人的生活》系列最新一集中得到的主要信息，这一次探讨的是 1840 年代的铁路繁荣期。当然，所谓的“建设他们的人”，我其实是指“让他们建设的人”。也就是说，像乔治·哈德逊这样的人物，他被誉为“铁路之王”，但最终被揭露为一名挪用公款者，并被迫逃离英国，欠款按现在的货币计算高达 £1 亿。乔治绝对是一个（请原谅我的措辞）一流的混蛋。而关于铁路建设者本身——那些“铁路工人”——我得到的主要信息是——

那就是他们被榨干了所有精力，受到卑劣的对待，并且经常遭遇恐怖的事故。 而且，如果他们没有在工作中丧生（正如许多人那样），那么他们极有可能被当地的酒吧老板下毒。鲁斯解释说，为了让供应量增加，他们的啤酒（平均每个铁路工每天喝大约 8 品脱）会被偷偷地兑水——然后加入添加剂，从致幻浆果到老鼠药，以掩盖这种稀释。 当然，对于这样的一档节目来说，所有这些故事都是绝佳的素材。该节目在每一集中都致力于传递与前一集相同的两条信息，即：（1）纵观历史，富人的生活一直比穷人过得更好，以及（2）

纵观历史，富人经常是混蛋。 （抱歉，我已经说了两次“混蛋”了，对吧？我深表歉意。） 在这些维多利亚时代的铁路案例中，当然，这种阶级分化有进一步的体现。 当罗布和鲁斯登上哈德逊 era. 时期的一列火车时，他们亲眼目睹了这一点。一等车厢独立且舒适，将乘客与底层民众隔离开来。 而底层民众的车厢呢？好吧，乘坐这些车厢的费用只有一半，但里面挤得水泄不通，而且根本没有座位。 不过，这些车厢很少感到闷热，这主要归功于没有车顶。

鲁珀特与愤怒的大海 第 7 号 坚果林故事集
“恐怕出了严重的差错， 威胁着这里的每一个人。”
“就像是大海在愤怒地对待这里的人一样，”鲁珀特建议道。“没错，正是如此，”杰姆同意道。“这就是为什么科克尔山的所有人都如此担心。”“除了一个人，你刚才这么说的，”鲁珀特提醒他。“就是那个人！”看向窗外的杰姆喊道。“正是琼蒂·金克斯本人！”其他人跟随他的目光看去，只见一个男人正对着那些闲置的船只露出幸灾乐祸的神情。“直到最近还是个渔夫，”杰姆补充道。“但现在他说他要放弃这一切。”

零售商们对财政大臣关于牟利的警告进行了反击，表示他们将证明在伊朗战争期间，他们为维持食品价格低廉而做出了艰苦努力。
财政大臣约翰·希利（John Healey）在周末表示，财政部准备打击那些利用中东冲突作为掩护来提高价格，从而“欺骗”英国消费者的商店。
代表包括赛恩斯伯里（Sainsbury’s）、特易购（Tesco）和 Asda 在内的英国最大零售店的英国零售业联盟（British Retail Consortium）表示，超市将抵制任何关于它们利用冲突获利的指控。
英国零售业联盟企业事务总监吉姆·布莱格（Jim Bligh）表示：“在零售业是英国利润率最低的行业之一时，财政大臣将零售商贴上‘潜在牟利者’的标签是没有帮助的。”
“这种竞争也降低了食品价格的通胀——而政府在支持该行业方面毫无作为。”
布莱格先生表示，如果希利先生决定制定打击所谓“价格欺诈”的计划，可能会引发行业的强烈反弹。
他补充道：“我们将保持……”

向 CMA 证明竞争的强度，并再次证明不存在牟利行为。” 希利先生在《星期日电报》中写道：“在国内，我们将密切关注任何关于客户在加油站或收银台被宰的迹象。” “在整个危机期间，各公司与政府合作的意愿一直是积极的，且没有显著证据表明存在所谓的价格欺诈。但我希望直截了当地向公众保证，如果这种情况发生，我们的监管机构有权予以打击。” 英国零售业协会 (BRC) 指出，竞争监管机构——竞争与市场管理局 (Competition and Markets Authority) 的三份报告发现，杂货商中没有牟利的证据。 食品通胀在近几个月有所下降，6 月达到了 1.7%。 代表该行业 1,200 家制造商的食品和饮料联合会声称，该部门自 2020 年以来吸收了 38.4% 的成本上涨，仅去年一年就承担了 20 亿英镑 (£2billion) 的监管费用。

在资产管理公司 Castlelake 的报价被投资巨头 Apollo 击败后，EASYJET 延长了 Castlelake 提交另一项收购方案的时间窗口。 这家廉价航空公司昨天表示，它仍计划向投资者推荐 Apollo 每股 £7.15 的交易方案，但将延长 Castlelake 的截止日期。

与竞争出价者保持一致。这意味着两家公司必须在周五下午 5 点之前提交最终报价或宣布他们打算退出。 该承运商表示，目前尚不清楚是否会提交最终报价。在同意目前已被超越的报价之前，该公司曾拒绝了来自 Castlelake 的多次报价。

政府拟扩大对度假住宿的征税
英国领先的招待业贸易团体敦促安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）在其实施权力下放计划时，放弃扩大所谓“游客税”的计划。 英国招待业协会（UK Hospitality）在给首相的一封信中警告称，这种过夜访客征费将导致该行业流失 “33,000 个就业岗位”。 首席执行官艾伦·辛普森（Allen Simpson）表示：“显然，政府现在打算在生活成本危机期间，让家庭度假变得更加昂贵。” “我支持权力下放，但我不支持一项会导致 33,000 个就业岗位流失的额外税收。” 他表示，这项“在政治上极具毒性”的征费将使度假者多花 10 亿英镑以上。相反，他希望建立一种“度假奖金”制度，根据各地区吸引的游客数量，将一部分税收收入返还给这些地区。
其估值为约 £5.5bn —— 比 5 月 29 日的收盘价高出 73%。 上个月，easyJet 表示，由于能源成本飙升以及伊朗战争导致旅行需求下降，其利润遭受了 £200million 的打击。在截至 6 月的三个月中，该公司记录的税前利润为 8500 万英镑m，同比下降 70%。
在投资者对与其美国竞争对手潜在的合并产生怀疑后，阿斯特拉赛诺卡（ASTRAZENECA）的股价在早盘交易中大幅下跌。 在有报道称该公司正在探索一项与百时美施贵宝（Bristol Myers Squibb）价值 $400billion 的巨额交易后，这家英国制药公司的股价下跌 6% 至 11,866p。 据报道，这家富时 100 指数（FTSE 100）巨头在近几个月内一直与该美国集团进行洽谈。 通常情况下，类似的富时指数收购和合并会导致公司股价飙升，因为投资者预期会有上涨空间。 Interactive Investor 的市场负责人理查德·亨特（Richard Hunter）表示，股价暴跌发出了“一个明确的信号，即投资者可能会反对此类交易”。 阿斯特拉赛诺卡坚持其总部将继续留在剑桥。

西班牙人认为我们应该把直布罗陀交给他们，而工党似乎支持这一点。但没人提到海峡对岸的西班牙前哨阵地——60,000 名摩洛哥人入侵了塞塔，政客们陷入恐慌，担心移民会扩散到西班牙本土及其他地区（见 8 月 1 日《“西班牙边境危机是对英国的‘警钟’”）。 西班牙人在将移民驱逐回去时，显然没有受到人权律师的阻碍。 问题可能会更糟。直布罗陀海峡是另一个“扼守点”。如果伊朗选择渗透并武装激进伊斯兰分子，他们可能会封锁进入地中海的通道。 彼得·欧腾博士 (Dr Peter Outen)， 埃塞克斯郡，布伦特伍德
封锁英吉利海峡的船只——将他们送回法国
如果首相现在不阻止移民，天知道如果我们重新加入欧盟会发生什么。我们会被要求接收多少进入欧洲的移民？ 安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 是否意识不到公众的担忧？如果他不小心，公众可能会采取私刑，而由此产生的私刑行为将由他承担责任。 他必须告诉移民，在这里什么也得不到。唯一的解决方案是在英吉利海峡中间拦截他们，并将他们直接遣返回法国。如果法国警察不阻止他们离开，我们就应该将他们遣回。 克里斯·丹尼 (Chris Denny)， 怀特岛，赖德
我们曾为阻击入侵而战，现在看看我们自己
西班牙的移民惨剧强调了为什么欧洲政府必须废除荒唐的欧洲人权法院 (ECHR) 法律。他们的最高法院裁定，任何通过海路抵达的人都不能被遣返，而通过陆路边界的人则不同。作为一个岛国，这让我们完全暴露在危险之中。 除非本届政府采取坚决立场，否则我们将面临来自阿富汗、叙利亚和厄立特里亚等国的移民涌入。这将使我们的经济承压，使公共服务瘫痪，并为潜在的恐怖主义创造温床。 前几代人为防止入侵而参加战争，而我们现在却在不考虑未来的情况下向任何人开放国门。 安迪·伯纳姆需要清醒过来，否则人口走私者将继续在我们漏洞百出的边境上获利。 彼得·拉什顿 (Peter Rushton)， 兰开斯特郡，乔利
西班牙人和意大利人都关上了大门，为什么我们不能？
最近 60,000 名摩洛哥移民入侵塞塔，其中大多数人被“迅速”遣返。 没有申请庇护，也没有欧洲人权法院的干预？ 与此同时，意大利为了应对激增而暂停了自由流动。但回到英吉利海峡，那里依然照常营业。 在第二次世界大战期间帮助抵御敌人入侵的 21 英里海域，如今已成为我们的阿喀琉斯之踵。 迈克·克伦普 (Mike Crump)， 什罗普郡，布里奇诺斯
非法移民正乘坐着舒适之船前往“奶与蜜之地”
这个国家在非法移民问题上经历的简直是一场灾难，而且已经持续多年。 我们大多数的政客甚至连一次后备箱集市的摆摊都组织不好。 许多人没有商业经验，却竟敢在几乎没有真实知识的情况下，为我们所有人做出重大决定。 我们需要在英吉利海峡部署一支快速炮艇编队，我们必须首先阻止这些人踏上英国土地。这不是什么高深的科学，对吧？如果这些船在海上被拦截，他们就可以返回原籍地。 盖里·卡特 (Gerry Carter)， 西萨塞克斯郡，伯吉斯山
好心没好报的英国被法国人耍了
为什么我们要向法国支付 10 亿英镑来阻止那些“并不那么小”的船只，因为这项政策显然没有效果，而且可能永远不会有效，因为我们对每个人来说都是好欺负的（见 8 月 1 日《“完美风暴将更多移民带到英国海岸”》）？ 这里有酒店、食物和充足的招待，在他们看来一定是天堂。然而，迟早这个泡沫会破裂，因为我们所有英国人
就像你们著名的专栏作家朱迪·芬尼根 (Judy Finnigan) 一样，我绝对热爱赞达亚 (Zendaya) 在伦敦参加最新一部《蜘蛛侠》电影首映礼时那套惊艳的“蜘蛛”装扮，她和丈夫汤姆·赫兰德 (Tom Holland) 都展示了细微且恰当的“蜘蛛”细节（见 8 月 1 日的《理查德与朱迪》）。
然而，每次我看着这位明星时，我确实在想是否有人注意到赞达亚与年轻时的凯瑟琳·泽塔-琼斯 (Catherine Zeta-Jones) 在事业上升期时惊人的相似之处？当然，两人都绝对美得令人窒息。 朱莉·福斯特 (Julie Foster)， 兰开夏郡，伯恩利
公民们决定我们已经忍无可忍了。希望安迪·伯纳姆 (Andy Burnham) 能尽快在这波涌入问题上采取行动，否则我担心会出现最糟糕的情况。 安妮特·海尔 (Annette Hale)， 西米德兰兹郡，奥尔德里奇
任何一个政党能否向英国人民解释，为什么西班牙能在大约 1 天内遣返 60,000 人，而我们在相当长的一年时间里仅遣返了不到 500 人？ 难道现在不是采取行动遏制这种涌入的时候吗？如果我们不小心，我们将完全失去我们的英国价值观。 西尔维娅·赖兰斯 (Sylvia Rylance)， 泰恩桥，克莱登
马隆揭穿耗资数十亿并牺牲就业的净零骗局
正如卡罗尔·马隆 (CAROLE Malone) 所指出的，净零幻想对我们来说是一场灾难。它对于停止干旱和山火毫无作用。这场骗局承诺降低能源成本并创造数十万个就业机会；相反，能源账单飙升，而就业繁荣发生在中国，而非英国（见 8 月 1 日的“认清净零幻想”）。 凯米·巴德诺克 (Kemi Badenoch) 仅仅是在重复奈杰尔·法拉奇 (Nigel Farage) 所说的话。
将对手 击沉
终于有一个政党针对非法移民给我国带来的危机提出了想法，并采取真正的威慑手段来阻止这一糟糕的局面（见“改革党利用海军制止英法海峡危机的计划”，8月3日）。 这是首次有政党提出利用我们的军队将小船拦截并将其遣返回法国的想法。 我相信改革英国党（Reform UK）代表了大多数人的意愿，即希望阻止这些主要由男性组成的移民非法登陆我们的海岸。 除了天文数字般的成本外，我们还看到许多人在登陆后从事犯罪活动。 当然，总会有反对拦截小船的人，但事实就是事实。目前的代价太高了。 鲍勃·克罗斯（Bob Cross）， 曼彻斯特
多年前。在现实世界中，净零排放越来越多地被视为一场骗局。 然而，首相却在延续这一政策，用米亚塔·法恩布勒（Miatta Fahnbulleh）取代埃德·米利班德（Ed Miliband），以此维持人气并避免做出艰难决定。气候变化是真实的，但净零排放是个笑话。 我们不应强推徒劳的政策，而必须询问人类是否真的能够改变这一轨迹。 巴里·沃伦（Barrie Warren）， 兰开夏郡，贝里
自我评估成了 骗补者的 神奇金钱树
凯西男爵夫人（BARONESS Casey）报告称，尽管她并非残疾人，但她会被归类为残疾人。这是为什么（见“凯西要求对支持计划提出‘严肃质疑’”，7月30日）？ 这全靠自我报告。只要勾选那些表示你患有持续或预计持续一年以上的身体或心理健康状况，以及这是否降低了你执行日常活动能力的选项即可。 难道没有人核查吗？难怪在可以自我评估的情况下，有这么多的人领取救济金。正如男爵夫人所展示的，现在需要医疗证明和面对面就诊。 如果需要面对面就诊，会有多少人能通过审核？ 安妮·琼斯（Anne Jones）， 柴郡，斯塔利布里奇

在 Ffos Las 的 Dandara Homes 让步赛中，BEAUNE (5.30, Nap) 可能会赢得三番喝彩。 这匹四岁的耐力马由当地的 Bernard Llewellyn 训练， 已在该赛场出赛 8 次， 其中两次接近获胜。 在经过 150 天的休整后， Beaune 在 2 月至 4 月之间 赢得了 3 场全天候场地比赛， 使其达到了目前马房的职业生涯最高分。 6 月最后一次在该赛道和距离 比赛中排名第八名（落后于 Worlington）， 现在他得到了下方 5 磅减磅骑师 Harry Vigors 的助力。 且 Beaune 仅比今年早些时候在 伍尔弗汉普顿（Wolverhampton）以 2 个身位获胜时 高出 1 磅。 AVIONICS (3.00, nb) 在 24 天前 击败了两个市场领先者，根据 评分，在 EBF 新手赛中应能击败 受到惩罚的 Perfect Nation。 CAPTAIN CESS (3.45, trb) 将在 卡特里克（Catterick）的 Hannah Blanchard 21 岁生日让步赛中出击。

正统 (Orthodox) 旨在出征 莫尼赛
顶尖 少年 短途赛马 正统 (Orthodox) 在经历一次挫折后已重回正轨，目前所有目标都指向法国的一级赛——莫尼奖赛 (Prix Morny)。 克莱夫·考克斯 (Clive Cox) 的这匹小马在 6 月皇家升旗赛 (Royal Ascot) 的第二级别诺福克锦标赛 (Norfolk Stakes) 中以三个半马身的优势获胜，当时看来是一颗未来的之星。 练马师原定于 7 月 19 日让正统在罗伯特·帕潘奖赛 (Prix Robert Papin) 中首次体验欧洲赛场，但由于内窥镜检查结果不理想，前往尚蒂伊的行程不得不取消。然而，由杰森·戈达德 (Jason Goddard) 拥有的这匹赛马目前健康状况极佳，正在为 8 月 23 日的下一个目标做准备。 “幸好正统没有错过太多训练，”考克斯说，他曾与杰拉尔德·莫斯 (Gerald Mosse) 合作，在 2012 年的多维尔莫尼奖赛中凭借 Reckless Abandon 夺冠。“他状态很好，将为莫尼奖赛进行常规准备。他在诺福克锦标赛中的表现极其出色，几乎打破了两岁马的赛道纪录。我们对他寄予厚望。” Perfect Power (2021)、Vandeek (2023) 和 Venetian Sun (2025) 均是近期

❒ 赛马场协会（RCA）成员，拥有包括切尔滕纳姆（Cheltenham）和纽马基特（Newmarket）在内的 15 个赛道的 Jockey Club 将在年底退出该行业团体。 首席执行官 Jim Mullen 表示：“我们的意向是与雅士谷以及其他志同道合的行业伙伴合作，追求一个基于体育长期可持续发展的愿景，我们正处于建立一个新组织的早期阶段以实现这一目标。”

力争大满贯三连冠
塔代伊·波加查 (TADEJ POGACAR) 在缺席七年后将重返西班牙 Vuelta 巡回赛，以追求大满贯三连冠。这位斯洛文尼亚选手的 UAE Team Emirates-XRG 车队昨日公布了参赛阵容，确认在上个月夺得创纪录的第五座环法冠军奖杯后，波加查 (右图) 将参赛。
波加查表示：“我第一次参加大满贯赛事是在 2019 年，那是一次非常神奇的体验。西班牙是我热爱访问和参赛的国家，我认为现在是回归的最佳时机。”
这位在 2024, 赢得环意赛的 27 岁选手，正力争成为仅有的第九位在三大环赛中全部夺冠的男性骑手。第 81 届西班牙巡回赛将于 8 月 22 日在摩纳哥以个人计时赛拉开帷幕，随后穿过法国和安道尔前往西班牙。
美国旋转球手 Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy 因涉嫌操纵比赛被禁赛八年，不得参加所有板球活动。法庭认定 Reddy (右图) 在阿布扎比 T10 赛事期间违反国际板球理事会 (ICC) 反腐败准则的三项指控成立。这些指控涉及试图“操纵、策划或以其他不当方式影响”比赛，或参与此类企图，以及试图诱导另一名个体加入计划并阻挠调查。Reddy 在 2025, 曾四次代表美国出战，获得一次 wicket。
杰森·德米特里欧 (JASON DEMETRIOU) 表示，他不确定超级联赛中是否会有他所属的 伦敦 猛牛队 (London Broncos) 的位置。猛牛队目前在冠军联赛中领先四分位居榜首，但据信他们的评级仍在当前前 14 家俱乐部之外，这意味着晋级可能需要超级联赛扩容至 15 支球队。主教练德米特里欧表示：“如果我们想要升级，显然需要改进很多方面。但就我而言，我想确保我们是凭实力赢得这个权利。”
英格兰的 Mimi Rhodes 和爱尔兰的 Leona Maguire 已被 Anna Nordqvist 选为 Solheim Cup 的队长挑选球员。 西班牙的 Julia Lopez Ramirez 和法国的 Nastasia Nadaud 也获得了该赛事的邀请参赛资格。比赛将于 9 月 11-13 日在荷兰的 Bernardus Golf 举行。 Rhodes 的入选是在她上赛季赢得三场欧洲巡回赛冠军并被评为年度最佳新秀之后。这位 24 岁的球员（插图）表示：“参加 Solheim Cup 一直是我的梦想和目标。” Maguire 在该项赛事的 12 场比赛中获得了 8.5 分，她表示：“我热爱 Solheim Cup，它能激发我出色的竞技状态，我也很喜欢成为团队的一员。我迫不及待地想第四次代表欧洲队出战。”

作者：YASMIN SYED 由于右小腿压力性骨折仍在恢复中，EMMA RADUCANU 将缺席今年的美国公开赛。 这位英国一号种子因同样伤病缺席了温布尔登网球锦标赛，并将至少在三个月内远离赛场。
橄榄球联盟：顶级联赛 顶级联赛
竞争。据了解，Raducanu, 23, 在与她的医疗团队协商后，做出了退出本赛季最后一个大满贯赛事的艰难决定。她的退出发生在她在 Flushing Meadows 赢得历史性胜利的 5 年后，当时她以 18 岁的年龄成为唯一一位赢得大满贯冠军的资格赛选手。对于这位世界排名第 49 位的选手来说，这是在极其残酷的一个赛季中遭受的最新打击。Raducanu 的季前准备工作因右脚骨伤而中断。她还因病毒感染后的疾病缺席了两个多月的比赛，于 5 月在斯特拉斯堡的红土赛场回归。
这位来自布罗姆利的球星在今年初夏的 伦敦 Queen’s Club 赛事中获得亚军，但此后一直没有参加比赛。她在第一轮比赛前夕退出了温网，并表示：“我不敢相信我会这么说，但遗憾的是，我不得不退出今年的温网……我一直在处理的小伤已经演变成压力性骨折，医疗建议让我停止强行参赛。”
与此同时，英国排名第 2 的 Katie Boulter 在多伦多国家银行公开赛的首轮比赛中，经过与 Kayla Cross 的激烈交手后出局。Boulter 在 128 分之 1 的比赛中以 7-6 (3) 7-5 负于这位 21 岁的加拿大选手，迅速被淘汰。
“我对 Henry 说的第一句话是：‘你想留在北安普顿吗？’”Hearn 告诉《电报》报纸。 “他说：‘是的。我爱这个俱乐部，我爱这个团队，我也喜欢住在 10 分钟路程之内，而且我认为我们明年会再次赢得冠军，我想赢得冠军。’” “我告诉他，如果去其他地方，他可以拿到 10 倍的薪水，但他表示只要有可能，他真的不想离开。”
Hearn 还确认圣徒队已经提出了一个初步的合同报价——但他认为这远未能反映出 Pollock 的市场价值。该推广人补充说，Pollock 的几项重大商业合作伙伴关系将在未来几周内公布，并声称这位英格兰球星的场外收入已经相当于他目前俱乐部薪水的 5 倍左右。
考虑到英超橄榄球的薪资上限规则，这种情况给北安普顿带来了重大挑战。每支俱乐部仅允许有一名薪资在 640 万英镑m 薪资上限之外的顶级球员，而飞翼球员 Fin Smith（上方圆圈）被广泛认为将在圣徒队占据这一位置。
然而，Hearn 认为橄榄球的财务格局可能很快会发生变化，并警告圣徒队不要将 Pollock 绑定在一个可能很快过时的长期合同中。
他还透露，两人正在制定一项围绕明年在澳大利亚举行的橄榄球世界杯的新商业战略。
Hearn 补充道：“他想赢得世界杯，他想与北安普顿一起赢得冠军，他还想在奥运会上为 英国 七人制橄榄球队赢得一枚金牌。他有一个不可思议的未来在等着他。”

亚历山大·伊萨克 (ALEXANDER ISAK) 承认，随着新赛季开始的时刻临近，利物浦仍有“大量工作要做”。
红军在美国的季前巡回赛以一种令人失望的方式收场，他们在周日于芝加哥对阵利兹联的比赛中，在半场 2-0 领先的情况下丢失领先优势，最终以 4-2 告负。
伊萨克在开场 45 分钟内出场，这是他在帮助瑞典队进入世界杯 32 强后，首次在新任主教练安多尼·伊拉奥拉 (Andoni Iraola) 的率领下亮相。
在被问及与新主帅伊拉奥拉合作的情况时，伊萨克指出，利物浦在距离英超联赛开赛不到三周的时间里，仍显著缺乏达到理想状态的准备。
他说道：“我的意思是现在还处于早期阶段，但训练感觉不错。”
“我们都喜欢他的比赛理念，感觉很积极，但仍有很长一段路要走。还有很多工作要做。”
“当然，我希望尽快进入良好状态，并能帮助球队取得成功。这就是计划。”
伊萨克在世界杯期间曾三次为瑞典队踢满 90 分钟。而在去年 9 月以 £125 million 的价格从纽卡斯尔加盟利物浦后的 22 场比赛中，他未能完成一场全场比赛。
关于他重返红军赛场，这位前锋表示：“在休息和一些训练之后，感觉很好，这总是令人愉快的。”
“我充电了，度过了一个不错的假期，大部分时间都过得很轻松。”
“（在对阵利兹联的比赛中）我对球的感觉好了一些。我跑了跑，恢复了一些体能。在这些比赛中，最重要的事情是让身体动起来，感觉很不错。”
“对于球队来说，我认为我们的上半场踢得相当好。”
“我感觉很好，没问题。从身体层面来说，季前赛显然就是为了增强身体素质。这就是我们要做的。”

在中后卫位置比迈克·巴塞特 (Mike Bassett) 的奖杯柜还要空的时候，恩杜克韦至少证明了自己可以在更靠后的防线发挥作用。
这位奥地利巨人于春季年满 18 岁，但看起来像一座人山，在未来的岁月里能够胜任利物浦中后卫的位置。恩杜克韦应该对他过去两周的表现感到极大的鼓舞。他将以租借身份离队，但全球人才主管马特·纽伯里 (Matt Newberry) 在 U-17 世界杯期间在他身上看到了什么，这一点显而易见。
他在后场的出球能力需要提高，但他看起来速度快、强壮，且对于他的年龄来说，其空中优势极为出众。
特雷·尼奥尼 (TREY NYONI)
很抱歉，斯旺西市 (Swansea City)，你们想租借尼奥尼的希望在这次巡回赛后应该已经破灭了。
仅凭季前赛就做出判断总是有风险的，但尼奥尼看起来比去年在英超联赛出场的 21 分钟有了长足的进步。
尼奥尼现在应该被视为一名一线队球员。人们将里奥·恩古莫哈 (Rio Ngumoha) 视为安菲尔德的下一个突破之星是可以理解的，但尼奥尼虽然低调得多，但在中场同样展现出了自己的才华。一个重要的赛季在等待着他。

安多尼·伊拉奥拉 (ANDONI IRAOLA) 在周日距离一次几乎完美的美国三场巡回赛仅差 45 分钟。但在芝加哥对阵利兹联时，红军在 2-0 领先的情况下，由于下半场防守糟糕，最终以 4-2 输掉比赛。
撇开这次失误不谈，这对红军来说是富有成效的两周。但在新任 Kop 主帅的密切观察下，谁表现出色，谁在焦虑？

随着范戴克 (Virgil van Dijk) 回到默西赛德郡，而杰里米·雅凯特 (Jeremy Jacquet) 缺席，这次巡回赛为戈梅兹提供了一个真正的机会。但就在夏季赛程开始仅 8 分钟后，那个梦想就破碎了。作为当晚的队长，他因肌肉受伤被迫离场，这将导致他在新赛季开局时缺席。 如果戈梅兹原本想证明利物浦在这个夏天不需要另一个中后卫，那么这次最新的挫折只会增加对新援的需求。
杰里米·雅凯特 (JEREMY JACQUET)
遭遇重创 戈梅兹再次受伤
夏季三场友谊赛过后，这位身价 6000 万英镑m 的后卫尚未为新俱乐部踢过一次球，而关于 23 日 8 月对阵纽卡斯尔联时谁将与范戴克 (Virgil van Dijk) 搭档首发，人们深感担忧。 雅凯特此前已经处境不利，自从 2 月份遭遇赛季报销的肩伤后就一直没有出场。考虑到他本月才满 21 岁，要求这样一个年轻且缺乏经验的球员立即产生效果显得过于苛刻。 目前尚不清楚他的伤势是否与今年早些时候的肩部问题有关，还是完全受了另一种伤。但有一点很明确——美国的季前巡回赛与他无关了。
阳光前景 O’Nien
卢克热爱高温
作者：劳伦斯·亨利三世 (LARRY HENRY JR) 卢克·奥尼恩 (LUKE O’NIEN) 认为，桑德兰在美国的季前巡回赛将在他们为即将到来的赛季做准备的过程中发挥重要作用。 凭借诺迪·穆基耶莱 (Nordi Mukiele) 的进球，黑猫队在斯巴鲁公园球场以 1-0 险胜二线球队雷克瑟姆 (Wrexham)，结束了他们的夏季之旅。 奥尼恩在中后卫位置上表现稳健，这位 31 岁的球员在英超新赛季到来前感到很乐观。 当被问及美国巡回赛时，奥尼恩说：“非常好。我认为在高温下很艰难，到最后我觉得自己走起路来像只企鹅一样在摇摆。” “我们在东北部没有阳光，所以能出来在这种天气下踢球很不错。我认为当我们回到英国时，这只会对我们的体能有所帮助。” “各支球队的竞争都非常激烈。这对我们来说是一次很好的考验。” “作为一支球队，我们一直在进化、成长，变得更健康、更强壮，且凝聚力更强，而这正是季前赛的目的。”
毛里西奥·波切蒂诺 (MAURICIO POCHETTINO) 已同意签署一份为期四年的美国队主教练新合同。 这位前热刺和切尔西主帅自 2024 年 9 月起执掌帅印，并率队在本土世界杯上进入 16 强。 阿根廷人波切蒂诺（插图）表示： “在过去两年与美国足球协会共同工作期间，我们很明确地意识到，要让男子国家队计划变得更加强大，具有巨大的潜力。” “在整个世界杯期间，我们从球迷那里感受到的热情，进一步增强了我们对这里可能实现目标的信心。”
对于太妃糖队的 主帅莫耶斯而言
资产 这将是奥布赖恩和阿兹努的关键赛季
在太妃糖队于 8 月 22 日对阵水晶宫，开启英超赛季征程之前，埃弗顿队可能会迎来球员的进出。 但在这场揭幕战之前，大卫·莫耶斯对于目前阵中的球员仍有许多决定要做。乔·托马斯为此进行分析……
杰克·奥布赖恩在 中后卫位置上 在埃弗顿队，包括奥布赖恩在内的没有人希望这位来自爱尔兰共和国的后卫在季前赛进行到如此深阶段时还在右后卫位置上首发。 随着谢莫斯·科尔曼已经离队，内森·帕特森也可能紧随其后，埃弗顿距离没有一名资深右后卫仅差一次转会。 很难想象这个问题会在今夏得不到解决，凯尔特人的阿里斯泰尔·约翰斯顿是他们最近询问的选项。 这个位置解决得越快越好，这样莫耶斯（插图）可以让奥布赖恩在他天然的中后卫位置上获得更多出场时间。
亚当·阿兹努是否 为莫耶斯做出了足够贡献？ 阿兹努周日在 X 上寻求帮助，想找一段他通过一次转身过掉两名汉堡球员的剪辑。他在德国的客串是其季前赛的又一次积极表现。虽然他的防守能力尚未经过广泛测试，但他展示了自己在左后卫位置上的进攻能力。 莫耶斯是否被说服仍有待观察，但鉴于埃弗顿在边路进攻位置上存在不确定性，阿兹努也可以被部署在左翼。在他 1 月份对阵桑德兰的足总杯比赛中，这也是他在俱乐部的唯一一次正式比赛出场，且他在替补登场后表现得非常高效。
卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯能否 争取到 10 号位置？ 考虑到埃弗顿已经拥有众多中场选项，这看起来可能性较低。这也意味着基尔南·杜斯伯里-霍尔占据他最擅长的全能中场（box-to-box）角色的前景很渺茫。 但阿尔卡拉斯依然是一名才华横溢的球员，他已经证明自己能够影响英超比赛。他在汉堡队比赛中从左翼替补登场时为比赛带来了强度，但他的强项在于中路。不过那里位置拥挤，考虑到这一点及其合同情况，他可能是俱乐部会考虑接收报价的球员。
莫耶斯是否会让 19 岁球员 哈里森·阿姆斯特朗留在球队？ 在英冠联赛经历了两次令人印象深刻的租借后，这个夏天对于这位青少年中场来说至关重要。上赛季他在热刺替补登场表现出色，埃弗顿必须确保他们不会阻碍他的发展，而在海登·哈克尼到来后，这可能会变得棘手。阿姆斯特朗具有真正的潜力，接下来的几周，埃弗顿将面临寻找合适解决方案的压力。
那么泰勒·迪布林呢？ 默林·罗尔在季前赛的右路表现令人印象深刻，但那个位置感觉并不适合他。 迪布林可能是一个更好的选择。这需要莫耶斯继续给他出场时间，而他需要将其视为恢复信心并展示其毋庸置疑之才华的机会。他是这支埃弗顿球队中最大的未开发资产。
希腊 之神
足够精明地将注意力从阿森纳的冠军卫冕战转移到了他们的竞争对手身上，声称压力实际上在曼彻斯特城和利物浦等队身上，因为他们要来夺冠。 “要卫冕冠军，你不需要去思考它。对于其他球队来说更困难，因为压力在那儿，而不是在夺冠的球队身上。” 从比利时职业联赛跨越到英超联赛是欧洲最大的一次跨越之一。 然而，当被问及观察新更衣室是否让他有信心认为新队友们已准备好再次夺冠时，他的回答很简单。 “当然，”他回答道。“当我看到训练，以及每位球员在每次训练演习中是多么渴望，这意味着每个人都准备好在最高水平上竞争。当你是一名阿森纳球员时，你会希望争夺每一个可能的冠军。所以，这不仅关乎英超联赛，还关乎我们参加的所有比赛。” “我看到了[球员们]清晰的心态，每个人在赢球这件事上都目标一致。我在训练中看到了这一点，而当你这样训练后进入比赛，效果会更好。” Tzolis 在本周六晚面对赫罗纳的季前赛阿森纳首秀中破门，身披 17 号球衣。 同样身披枪手该号码的亚历克西斯·桑切斯（右）于 2018 年离开俱乐部，此后，阿森纳一直难以找到顶级左翼前锋来填补他的进球空缺。 尽管 Tzolis 到来，但他们在这个夏天仍有兴趣在该位置增加更多质量，目标指向皇家马德里的维尼修斯·朱尼奥尔。 然而，这位智利人并非 Tzolis 选择球衣号码的灵感来源，尽管其起源更为简朴，但他仍然希望
作者：TOM CANTON 希腊国脚 Christos Tzolis 在训练中将队友们累得精疲力竭后，已经在新队友中获得了神一般的地位。 在以 £34 million 从布鲁日转会而来后，这位边锋在周六对阵赫罗纳的比赛中凭借一次冷静的射门打入季前赛首球，迅速赢得了新球迷的喜爱。 但真正让阿森纳全队和工作人员感到敬畏的是他在训练场上的体能测试表现，他们因此给他起了一个绰号叫“列奥尼达”。 杰拉德·巴特勒在 2006 年的电影《300》中饰演列奥尼达国王（右），片中他率领 300 名斯巴达战士对抗庞大的波斯军队。而这位 24 岁的小将透露：“其中一名体能教练叫我列奥尼达，来自《300》。” “我知道到目前为止我赢了，但这里还没有所有球员到齐。仍然有
就队长不可出售这一事实坚持立场。 首席执行官 David Hopkinson 和体育总监 Ross Wilson 意识到，在去年 Alexander Isak 转会利物浦，以及今年夏天 Sandro Tonali 以 1 亿英镑m 转会热刺、Anthony Gordon（插图）以 6930 万英镑m 转会巴塞罗那之后，如此之快地出售布鲁诺可能会激怒部分球迷。 Hopkinson 和 Wilson 被认为是决定布鲁诺是否被出售的关键人物，目前没有
全力付出 300%
干扰了球员的出售， 这些干扰来自俱乐部的沙特 支持者 PIF。 尽管人们担心布鲁诺 可能会“效仿伊萨克”而 拒绝返回参加 季前训练，但这位 中场球员在昨天按计划 报到工作，令俱乐部董事会 感到满意。 据信，布鲁诺 遵守了喜鹊队的所有要求， 并据此与俱乐部进行了沟通。 纽卡斯尔此前曾
一些必须进行测试的球员。但 到目前为止，我在体能测试中排名第一。测试内容大约是 20 米，折返，40 米，折返，60 米，折返，我想是连续五次。 “所以总共大约 1.2k，并且要尽可能快。实际上，这相当困难。 “我的优势在于我也和布鲁格共同开始了季前训练，所以我已经训练了两周，而且在夏天我一直想让自己保持健康，所以我准备好了。我准备好来到这里，体能状态良好，我很开心能在这里同样展现出来。” 措利斯迫不及待地想看到所有人加入球队，然后迎来他的英超首秀赛季。 “能在一支这种水平的球队担任球员是一个巨大的机会，因为这是世界上最好的球队之一，这让我非常高兴能来到这里，也让我更有渴望去进步，”他补充道。 “我在一家正确的俱乐部发展并达到最高水平。我非常高兴能拥有这个机会，并且我想把握住它。”
与布鲁诺协商， 允许他在世界杯后 经过延长假期，直接从 南美洲前往西班牙。 他搭乘商业航班 抵达西班牙， 然后开车前往 拉曼加，与其余队友 以及新任主教练 马蒂亚斯·雅斯莱汇合。 据信，对于一名合同还剩 两年的球员，喜鹊队 寻求的转会费超过 8000 万英镑。

陷于 泥沼
摘自封底 这意味着如果他的失败 测试在现在产生同样的结果， 将不会提起指控。 这位 25, 岁的边锋 自 2024 年 11 月以来 未参加过任何正式比赛。 但已有多家英超俱乐部 联系切尔西询问其情况， 包括考文垂。 蓝军主帅哈比·阿隆索表示， 关于他未来的决定尚未做出。 他表示：“我们需要观察，现在下结论太早了，看看他的体能状态如何，以及你重新投入比赛所需的比赛时间，所以现在还太早。” 穆德里克目前正与队友在 香港，参加切尔西四国 季前巡赛的第二回合。 蓝军后卫特雷沃·恰洛巴 在与塞斯克·法布雷加斯的 意甲球队达成个人条款后， 正以 £25.7 的交易 前往意大利球队科莫。 兰帕德的考文垂已与 布赖顿达成协议，以 2250 万英镑 的 价格买入门将卡尔·鲁什沃思。

（接自后页） 这是一个正确的方向。 对我来说，重点在于无论是在场上还是场下，每天都付出一切，尽可能地帮助周围的球员和球队。我非常兴奋能开始新征程。” 预计亨德森（见下文）在参加完世界杯代表英国队出战并完成暑假休息后，将与蓝军阵容汇合。 这位前利物浦队长补充道：“足球是一项团队运动，一切都应该围绕团队展开。” “在我的整个职业生涯中，我尝试做的一切都是为了团队。”

people to test the jab. High blood pressure is a leading cause of heart attacks and strokes, and many patients struggle to bring their readings down into the healthy range. Some end up taking multiple daily pills which can cause side effects including dizzi- ness, headache, fatigue and swollen ankles. Dr Pauline Swift, who chairs the charity Blood Pressure UK, said: “The development of zilebesiran is an exciting step forward in the treatment of high blood pressure. A six- monthly injection could offer real hope to patients who struggle with daily medication. “However, as with any new treatment, we still need long-term data to fully understand its safety and effectiveness across diverse patient groups. “It’s a promising innovation, but more research is essential before it becomes part of routine care.” Zilebesiran is a new type of drug known as small interfering RNA. Dr Saxena – also clinical co-director of the William Harvey Clinical Research Centre at Queen Mary University of London – said: “Classically, we have used pharmacological drugs in treating high blood pressure, but now we are using RNA interference drugs. “This is a long-acting therapy – with one injection under the skin every six months you see a sustained blood pressure reduc- tion, rather than taking a pill every day. “In treating hypertension, one of the big problems is adherence to medication.” The phase three Zenith trial will involve more than 11,000 people, including hun-

dreds at more than 50 sites across the UK. The first European patient was enrolled at Barts Health earlier this year. Participants will be offered either 300mg of zilebesiran or a placebo dose every six months. This will be in addition to their standard medications. The study, which will run for up to five years, will investigate whether the injection reduces patients’ risk of suffering heart attacks or strokes, of having to make urgent hospital visits – or even of dying from cardi- ovascular events. If successful, the trial could provide the evidence which is needed for the drug manu- facturers Roche and Alnylam to seek regula- tory approval. Dr Saxena continued: “From the results that we have seen so far from previous stud- ies, and the mechanism of action, how it works, the safety profile...we are quite confi- dent that it should do well. “But we need to wait for the results to come out.” A previous international trial involving 663 people suffering with high blood pressure – and whose condition was not being managed well using standard treatment – found that adding the injection

injection could eventually replace daily pills for some. He added: “That needs to be seen in longer-term data but it’s quite possible that in some patients who have mild to moderate hypertension that might be well controlled with the injection alone. “Some patients might need more add-on therapies as well. That needs to be seen with
more data coming out.” The study is recruit- ing adults with established cardiovascular disease, or who are aged 55 and over with a high risk of developing it. Participants must be taking at least two antihypertensive medications including a diuretic (water tablet). Dr Saxena added: “The trial is enrolling now, so if anybody is interested they can go

France angry at Reform plans to dump migrants back on French beaches
BY MICAHEL KNOWLES and JAMES KNUCKEY
NIGEL Farage’s plan to order the Royal Navy to return asylum seekers to French beaches would violate France’s sovereignty and international law, the Paris govern- ment is claiming. The Reform UK leader unveiled his idea yesterday, arguing it was a humanitarian mission to save lives at sea while saving French locals from a migrant crimewave. The party claimed France would have no choice but to accept the small boat people back on its shores. But its Interior Ministry said: “This would constitute a vio- lation of French sovereignty, as well as a violation of the law of the sea and international law.” Mr Farage replied: “I will always stand up for the British people and their interests. Humanitarian mis- sions do not violate maritime or international law.“ He and home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf unveiled their scheme at a London press conference yester- day. If Reform won power, it would order 10 Navy patrol ves- sels into the Channel from which military-crewed infl atables could pull alongside boats carrying asy- lum seekers.
Migrant arrests will fall to police and Border Force offi cers before the small boat occupants are given refreshments and medical checks, then returned to France or Belgium by the Navy or Royal Marines. Reform said it would set up a joint military command with units from the Navy, Marines, RAF and Army as well as surveillance oper- atives. It insists the plan is legal and complies with the European Convention of Human Rights. Mr Yusuf said: “That is our pol- icy, not a future negotiation with the French government. While France gets to decide how they land, knowing we would much rather disembark people in port, walk people down a gangway and hand them to French authorities. “That is more dignifi ed and it is what we will negotiate. “If the Elysee Palace refuses, make no mistake – His Majesty’s Royal Marines will disembark them safely on the very shore they left that morning.” The party added: “We do not believe for one moment that the French Navy or gendarmerie would open fi re on Royal Marines conducting a humanitarian mis- sion and transporting civilians.” Mr Farage said the operation would save lives: “These big mega- dinghies, we saw one last week
with 165 people on it, 90 to 100 is now common. It is astonishing we’ve not had a mass casualty event for some time. “Picking these people up out of these boats and returning them to the nearest safe destination and to a safe country, we believe it is within international law of the sea. “This doesn’t mean the French government themselves will wel- come it. But hey, we’ve given them a billion pounds to stop the boats and we’re just helping them.” He continued: “For the French,
there are very big upsides. Life from Dunkirk, through Calais, through Wimereux, all of those rather beautiful little villages, is now hell.
“People stay locked in their houses. You can’t resell a house. There’s crime, there’s litter, there’s vandalism, there’s gang violence, stabbings and a couple of shoot- ings. Dealing with this problem would be a great, great relief to the
Parliament probes Tice over Israel
Reform UK deputy Richard Tice
BY STEPH SPYRO
REFORM UK’s Richard Tice is being investigated by the parliamentary standards watchdog. The MP for Boston and Skegness is accused of failing to reveal an interest in Israel while speaking at a debate in Westminster Hall. A Reform source said it was “baffl ing”, adding: “He was fi ghting antisemitism in Westminster Hall, and it ends up in an investigation.” The probe, which opened on July 28, was confi rmed yesterday by the parliamentary commissioner for standards. It last week declined to investigate a complaint made against Mr Tice on an undeclared loan of nearly £80,000 from George Cottrell, a convicted fraudster. The Reform deputy said: “I have a number of corporate loans in my companies. “None of them are declarable, They are to do with my property business activities.“ He added that his shareholdings and directorships were declared.
for rapists
BY MICHAEL KNOWLES
RAPISTS, ‘serious’ child sex off enders and grooming gang members will be excluded from Labour’s early release scheme. Prime Minister Andy Burnham insisted he wanted to “go even further” and keep more criminals locked up longer. And the fi rst tranche of releases is being delayed by a month – to October – amid fears probation teams will not be ready for dangerous criminals to be freed. Mr Burnham said: “I fully understand the anger, anxiety and distress that’s been caused. “That’s why we’re making signifi cant changes – off enders who have been sentenced for rape, serious child sex off ences and other grooming off ences will be excluded from the changes.”

ANDY Burnham has been accused of “running away from the country” on a summer holiday just two weeks after be became Prime Minister. The former Greater Manchester mayor will take a break from the day- to-day duties while away for a week with his family. It is understood he will continue to work, holding meetings and remain- ing in direct contact with offi cials, and is prepared to return early if needed. Reform UK chairman Lee Anderson said yesterday: “Two weeks into the job and Andy Burnham has already had enough. “After dropping a number of unfunded commitments and oversee- ing over 2,000 illegal migrants break- ing into our country he’s bunked off for a jolly abroad. “This isn’t a Prime Minister that’s serious about leading.” Mr Burnham will leave tinderbox Britain as several regions are plunged into drought, small-boat migrants continue to arrive in droves and the cost-of-living crisis bites. It is also 12 weeks until new Chancellor John Healey gives his fi rst Budget – which is expected to include tax rises. John O’Connell, the chief executive of

the nickname “Never Here Keir” and
“Out of Offi ce” – Andy Burnham risks
following in his footsteps as he heads
abroad for a summer break.
The Prime Minister has been in the
job for just two weeks.
In that time, he has made a string of
unfunded announcements, opened
No10 North and held talks with
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr
Zelensky. But Westminster critics say
that the “King of the North” has
barely settled into the job before
taking a break from the day-to-day
business of running the country.
Mr Burnham’s much-fl aunted
commitment to getting out of
Westminster and into the country will
be temporarily interrupted when he
jets abroad for a holiday from today.
He will continue to take meetings
and stay in contact with offi cials
while spending time with his family, it
is understood.
The trip comes amid growing
concern among Westminster
mandarins about how little time Mr
the TaxPayers’ Alliance think- tank, said yesterday: “Not con- tent with running away from Westminster to open No10 North, Andy Burnham is now running away from the country.” He added: “The Prime Minister should be work-

State Louise Haigh to joke at a
Cabinet Offi ce all-staff meeting last
week that No10 was “extremely
distressed” by how often he was away.
She stressed that the Prime
Minister was simply “so dedicated
and committed” to getting out into
the country.
But while Mr Burnham is away, the
business of government continues.
Small-boat migrants are arriving in
droves, tinderbox Britain is scorched
ing around the clock to give hard- pressed taxpayers value for money. “Brits struggling with the tax bur- den deserve 100% commitment from No10, not a Prime Minister governing on roaming charges.” Mr Burnham won the Makerfi eld by-election on July 4 before arriving at No10.

and there is still a cost-of-living crisis
which shows no signs of easing.
The government is also facing
warnings of food shortages

temperatures which are aff ecting
crops and harvests.
All of this will be on the minds of
voters with just 12 weeks to go before
Chancellor John Healey stands at the
Commons despatch box to deliver
what is widely expected to be a Budget

And when Mr Burnham returns, he
will once again turn his sights away
from London and embark on a

Some in Westminster believe that
the Prime Minister has earned the
right to take a break.

Waspis in demand to meet new PM to chat
BY JONATHAN WALKER
CAMPAIGNERS
demanding a fair deal for
women affected by the
state pension age
increase have written to
Prime Minister Andy
Burnham and
Chancellor John Healey
calling for urgent talks.
Angela Madden, chair
of the Women Against
State Pension Inequality
campaign, is urging Mr
Burnham to ensure
1950s-born women
receive fair redress.
He promised to meet
campaigners in the
run-up to June’s
Makerfi eld by-election.
Ms Madden said:
“While recognising the
new Prime Minister has
a long list of things to
fi x, we are now asking
him, alongside the
Chancellor, to sit down
with Waspi to determine
what redress for
1950s-born women
looks like.
“For far too long,
Waspi women have been
let down by governments
of all colours and are
understandably
desperate to see this
long-running injustice
put right.”
The campaign wants
compensation for the 3.5
million women affected
by failures to properly
communicate state
pension age increases.
Campaigners say this
lack of adequate notice
left many without
suffi cient time to make
alternative arrangements
for their retirement.
The Parliamentary and
Health Service
Ombudsman in 2024
recommended that the
government paid
compensation for
1950s-born women who
have suffered injustice.
Sir Keir Starmer’s
government rejected the
proposal, saying such
compensation was not
fair, feasible or good
value to taxpayers.

Phillips after his arrest
cheat kept dead mum in freezer
BY PAUL JEEVES A SON who kept his mum’s body in a freezer in his dining room for nearly three years while claiming her pension and benefi ts has been jailed. Christopher Phillips, 60, was arrested in February after his mum Sylvia’s GP practice asked police to carry out a welfare check. She died, aged 89, on March 8, 2023, Merthyr Tydfi l crown court was told. Two days later her son bought a chest freezer from AO.com and moved downstairs to sleep next to it. He sometimes held her hand and talked to her about Coronation Street, horse racing and other subjects, he said.

Phillips told police: “I basically didn’t want to let her go.” He sobbed in the dock as his lawyer Ruth Smith said he was “extremely close to his mother”, who adopted him when he was two. A psychiatrist diagnosed prolonged grief disorder. Phillips also pocketed £78,190.92 in state pension, pensions credit, attendance allowance, winter fuel payments, cost-of-living payments and housing benefi t payments, which should have stopped. When Sylvia’s GP practice tried to contact her, he denied access, claiming she had moved to London. She was found in a leopard-print silk blanket with fl owers and a birthday card from her son and their dog. Phillips admitted failing to lawfully and decently bury his mother and two counts of fraud and was jailed for two years and four months. Confi scation proceedings to recover the money will follow.

TONY Livesey will not return to his Radio 5 Live show after stepping away in June, following a BBC investi- gation into former West Ham chair- man David Sullivan. In a letter sent to staff yesterday, the BBC said presenter Livesey would be leaving after a 16-year stint at the radio station. It comes nearly two months after a Panorama programme looked into Sullivan’s behaviour when he owned the Daily and Sunday Sport newspapers. Entitled Predator: The Billionaire Football Boss, it spoke to seven women who claimed Sullivan was sex- ually exploitative towards them, which he “categorically denies”. He then announced that he was quitting as West Ham director to fi ght what he said were false allega- tions about him. Livesey was editor- in-chief of the papers – working alongside Sullivan – before joining the BBC,

Heidi Dawson, controller of BBC Radio 5 Live, wrote: “I wanted to let you know that Tony Livesey has decided to leave his presenting role on 5 Live.” Praising him for building a “loyal late night audience” she added: “Tony has asked me to pass on his heartfelt thanks to the brilliant col- leagues at 5 Live who he has had the pleas- ure of working with.” On the episode of Panorama, one women identifi ed

He told the programme he had “great sympathy for a woman who may have become a victim”, but rejected any suggestion that he had

played “any role whatsoever in that scenario” and said he found the alle- gation “abhorrent”. Panorama pointed to a passage in Livesey’s 1998 book saying that he and Sullivan had devised the idea for a “countdown to 16” feature, with countdowns to models’ 16th birthdays, when they could be pictured topless legally for the fi rst time. Livesey later said the feature was not his idea. On June 9, the BBC said Livesey had “asked to step back from present- ing his radio show for a short period” while bosses consid- ered the claims. Livesey, 62, has not pre- sented his late-night 5 Live show since June 8. He left the Sport titles in 2006. Former model Sacha Wall – the only alleged victim named in the investiga- tion – said she was 24 when Sullivan asked her to perform a sex act. Sullivan, 77, has said he “categori- cally denies” the claims in the joint investigation with Panorama and The Times. The allegations span the period when he made a fortune from pornog- raphy, newspapers and football.
Tate Modern in London
boy back home after 7 years
BY STANLEY MURPHY-JONES
A BOY thrown 100ft from a balcony at the Tate Modern is smiling again after leaving hospital, his family say. The French youngster was six when he suffered life-changing injuries in the attack in London seven years ago today. His parents, who call their 13-year-old “notre petit chevalier” – our little knight – revealed the news online. They said: “We wanted to let you know that our little knight has fi nally left the hospital! “His hospital stay was kept as short as possible because our son was becoming deeply disheartened and kept asking when he could go back to class and see his friends. It was a great joy for him to return to school shortly before the summer holidays.”
The boy’s injuries included a bleed on the brain and multiple broken bones. His intensive rehabilitation is continuing, including physio, speech therapy and neuropsychology. To celebrate the end of his hospital stay, his parents are treating him to a tandem paragliding fl ight and a seaside getaway with friends. They said: “We are going to try to fully recharge his batteries (and our own) and to get back to a family routine as normal as possible.” The family are being helped with medical costs by a GoFundMe account, set up by Surrey nurse Vicky Diplacto, which has raised more than £500,000. Attacker Jonty Bravery, then 17, was locked up for at least 15 years after admitting attempted murder.
Ariana to take step back
pulled out of her West End debut
BY DANIEL BIRD
ARIANA Grande has pulled out of her West End debut, citing “endless public scrutiny”. She was due to star in the upcoming London revival of the Stephen Sondheim musical Sunday in the Park With George, opposite her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey. Instead, the 33-year-old is taking a break from the public eye after fi nishing her Eternal Sunshine tour in September. A spokesman said: “Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility. She looks forward to fi nishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.” The announcement comes after critics raised concerns over Ariana’s appearance in the video for Petal, the title track off her new album. In it, Ariana plays a performer who is told at audi- tions she “should get some work done”, then that she has “too much work done.” TV star Jameela Jamil is among those to have expressed concern, compar- ing her to singer Karen Carpenter, who died in 1983 after a battle with anorexia. Jameela, 40, who has previously lived with an eating disorder, said: “The shrinking pop star si tuation is something of a trolley problem. “If we comment on her body, we could harm her mental health. If we don’t comment on her body, we run the risk of normalising that image to hundreds of millions of teenage girls, kids and even impressionable adults.” Ariana has previously urged fans to stop commenting on her body. In 2024, Ariana said she has felt like a “specimen in a petri dish” since she was a teenager. She added: “I have heard it all. I have heard every form of what is wrong with me. And then you fi x it and then it is wrong for different reasons.” The American star fi rst found fame as a child star playing Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon television shows Victorious and Sam & Cat. She has won three Grammy Awards and was nominated for an Oscar for her role as Glinda in Wicked. A spokesman for the production team of Sunday in the Park With George wished Ariana well and said: “The production will open at the Barbican in summer 2027 as planned.”
pregnancy diabetes
BY LUCY THORNTON
and STORM NEWTON
ONE in eight mums in England are being diagnosed with diabetes while pregnant, according to analysis. It also revealed a sharp rise among some ethnic minority groups and the poor. University researchers found a 60% surge in gestational diabetes diagnosis in fi ve years and warned it is a “vulnerability in the healthcare system” which aff ects mothers and their babies. The condition can increase a woman’s risk of cardiovascular disease and puts them at a higher risk of pre-eclampsia which can cause organ damage. Diabetes can lead to premature births, emergency C-sections and babies born larger or smaller than expected. Gestational diabetes happens when women cannot produce enough insulin – a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. The research by the University of Edinburgh, published in the journal BMJ Medicine, found the increase in cases was highest among women of colour – 23% – Asian women and those living in deprivation (14%). Definition of autism poses ‘risk’
BY STORM NEWTON
THE autism spectrum may have become “too broad” and risks misunderstanding the needs of patients, according to an expert. University College London Professor Dame Uta Frith, whose research in the 1960s and 70s laid the foundations for how autism is understood, said the defi nition has “widened” to include people with milder traits. Autism is a type of neurodivergence which impacts the way people communicate and experience the world. Dame Uta, writing in the journal Psychological Medicine, said: “When it was fi rst identifi ed in the 1940s, it referred to a small group of children with severe diffi culties in social interaction, communication and behaviour. “Today, anyone of any age or intelligence level can be diagnosed with autism if they meet certain criteria. “The time has come to examine whether the autism spectrum has become too broad. “Without greater precision, we risk misunderstanding people’s needs and misdirecting care.”
BABY Theo has become the fi rst child from the UK to have his intes- tines nudged back into his abdo- men while still in his mum’s womb. He was suffering from gastroschi- sis, where the belly button does not develop properly leading to the food tube growing outside the body. Mother Maisie Savage, 29, was 24 weeks pregnant when she and Theo’s dad Josh French, 36, were

given the option of the pioneering operation at Texas Children’s Hospital. Medics at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London said she would have to fl y to the US imme- diately and stay until the birth. First she had to travel to Leuven Hospital in Belgium – the third partner in a clinical trial of the pro- cedure – for a Botox jab. It was
given through her womb into Theo’s abdomen, relaxing the wall to simplify repairs.
In Texas, surgeon Dr Michael Belfort exposed Maisie’s womb and drained the amniotic fl uid, then infl ated her with CO2 for more space. Using keyhole surgery, Theo’s intestines were tucked
inside him and he was stitched up. Maisie, who gave birth in February, three months later, said: “He’s a lit- tle miracle, isn’t he? “Everything they did just com- pletely reversed what could have been a really horrible start to his life and he’s just the best. “He’s a completely normal baby, essentially.” The family are now recovering at home in London and told their
INCREDIBLE TREATMENT
story on BBC Breakfast. Maisie, who had a scar twice the size of a C-section incision, said: “It was a hard recovery. But it was worth it.” Gastroschisis affects around one in 3,000 babies born in the UK each year and is normally picked up at the 20-week scan. They are usually operated on after birth, needing weeks in intensive care while being fed through a tube. Patients with severe
forms like Theo may need many operations. In some cases, the defect can be fatal.
He was only the third in the world to have the procedure and if it continues to be a success, it could be performed on patients here. The op is similar to that used on babies with spina bifida, where
doctors close the gap in the spine, typically at between 19 and 26 weeks of pregnancy. Paolo De Coppi, consultant foe- tal and paediatric surgeon at Great Ormond Street, said Theo was “doing remarkably well”. He added: “Previous success rates with spina bifida indicate this could essentially offer a cure for gastroschisis. If the results are posi- tive, we hope this could become
the standard operation for complex gastroschisis cases. Families can go home sooner after birth with a healthy baby that shows few signs of their bumpy start in life – the whole process has been very excit- ing and a big team effort.” Dr Belfort, obstetrician and gynaecologist-in-chief at the Texan hospital, said: “The mother, the baby, the surgery, the time of the surgery, the fact that we had zero

ITH one in three of us having high blood pressure – and millions unaware – no wonder it is a silent killer. For those who have been diagnosed, a daily diet of pills can help keep the killer condition under control. But, like anything, remembering to take medicine is easier said than done. One of the miracles of the modern world is the lightning pace of medical science. And there is now hope for Britain’s 14 million sufferers in the shape of a six-monthly jab. Trials are under way which, if successful, could prove a game-changer in the way high blood pressure is managed. The condition is a leading cause of heart attacks and strokes, but many struggle to lower readings into a healthy range. Some are forced to swallow multiple daily pills, which in turn can cause dizziness, headaches and fatigue. The British-backed injection is a long-acting therapy in which it is hoped patients witness a sustained reduction in blood pressure. We wish experts at Barts Health NHS Trust in London well as they help to study 11,000 people including across the UK. Medical science rarely ceases to amaze yet we know it does not always work as we would all hope. But we should be eternally grateful that we have a thriving research and development industry in this country that is making a very real difference to millions of ordinary people and the loved ones who depend upon them.
FTER decades of inaction and inertia, there is no doubt we have reached a tipping point in the Channel migrant crisis. With each passing week comes another appalling tragedy from a treacherous stretch of water that thousands of migrants have successfully navigated this year. The crime cartels facilitating passage from northern France trade in human misery but do so in the knowledge death in their grubby enterprise is simply an inconvenient inevitability. And it is clear, despite being handed billions of pounds in UK taxpayers’ cash, the French authorities have little interest or incentive to stop the boats heading our way. It is by any measure a scandal. So, what can be done? Nigel Farage’s answer is to enlist the Royal Navy to guard the relatively short stretch of water. While we agree with the aim of stopping at nothing to halt the boats, we have doubts over the practicalities of implementing this policy. But one thing is for certain: the Left’s army of human rights lawyers will be licking their lips at the prospect of lucrative courtroom showdowns over an idea that will have the full support of many. Theo the miracle baby B
ONNY baby Theo is one-in-a-million and owes his life to the wonder of modern medicine. He had world-first surgery to successfully correct a birth defect while he was still inside the womb. He was diagnosed with gastroschisis, where intestines develop outside the body, while mum Maisie Savage was 26 weeks pregnant. Little Theo, now five months old and thriving, can rightly call himself a miracle.
First threat to MoD is

HE new Prime Minister has barely had time to measure for curtains in No10 and the announcements are already coming thick and fast – cutting energy bills, capping bus fares and tackling the cost of living. Expect more to follow. But each with a hefty price tag. Andy Burnham’s domestic political strategy is immediately recognisable. Win back Labour’s traditional voters. Ease the cost of living. Restore confidence in public services. Build a narra- tive of competent government capable of delivering election victory in three years’ time. Given Burnham’s desire to reverse four decades of neolib- eralism, none of this comes as a surprise. What is missing is an appreci- ation that domestic priorities cannot be divorced from inter- national reality. Harold Macmillan famously warned that governments are ultimately shaped by “events”. Burnham’s first day in office was accompanied by a Russian warship conducting live-fire exercises in the Channel – a reminder that the world does not pause while governments measure for curtains. And Britain is already engaged in “grey zone” war. The Russian missiles were almost the distraction. The greater concern lies beneath the waves, where cables, pipelines and other critical infrastructure remain vulnerable. The first rule of grey zone warfare, I’d argue, is simple: protect your economy. This is where Britain is most exposed. Yes, our conventional armed forces need rebuilding after years of decline. But homeland resilience matters just as much. B
RITAIN has limited air defences. Our energy infrastructure, subsea cables and data networks are dangerously exposed. It is only a matter of time before a major

cyber attack disrupts part of our national infrastructure. Yet the penny still has not dropped. Our economy and security are inseparable. One depends on the other. So how seriously is this gov- ernment taking defence? The suggestion Rachel Reeves might have become Defence Secretary hardly signalled that national security sits at the heart of government thinking. In fact, defence is a new brief for Wes Streeting. Fortunately, much of the groundwork has been done. The 2025 Strategic Defence Review identified threats. The recent Defence Investment Plan mapped out how Britain’s capability gaps should be filled. His mission is straightforward: persuade the Treasury to pay for it. The first threat facing the Ministry of Defence is not Russia, China or Iran. It is the Treasury. When budgets are capped, capability is cut.

Hercules is scrapped. Warrior is abandoned. Type 83 disappears. Orders for platforms such as the F-35B, Challenger 3 tanks and Type 45 destroyers are reduced. Yet the character of warfare is changing faster than our budg- ets. Defence must now fund drones, artificial intelligence, cyber, space, electronic warfare, autonomous systems and the protection of critical national infrastructure, while still main- taining the kit and personnel to deter conventional attacks. The threats are multiplying. The budget is not. To date, Burnham has refused to commit to increasing defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2030. Curiously, when Streeting was asked about recent Russian naval activity, he remarked that it represented “just the tip of the iceberg”. He had clearly had the classified brief every incoming Defence Secretary receives. He now understands how rapidly the threat picture is
evolving. Here lies the dilemma. If Streeting and Burnham shared the full extent of what Russia, China and Iran are doing below the threshold of war, there would almost cer- tainly be far greater support for defence spending. The public would understand how vulnera- ble Britain has become. H
ITTING 3% of GDP on defence will require around £17bn a year by the end of the decade – equivalent to about 1.5p in income tax or less than the price of a takeaway coffee a day – the Office for Budget Responsibility estimates. Less still if we were prepared to confront a welfare bill that is up from around 5% of GDP in the 90s to 13% today. Kemi Badenoch has already offered to work with Burnham on defence. Security should never be a partisan issue. Ring- fence defence spending. Protect the economy. Strengthen deter- rence. Because deterrence is always cheaper than war.

more care with CV
ANOTHER day, and another stewards’ inquiry over the CV of a Labour Minister. This time it is Angela “tax confusion” Rayner. She claims she had 14 years service in local government as a home care worker, but other accounts she has given suggest it was much less than that. It would appear the discrepancy transpires from
much of the time as a home care worker was actually spent working for Unison as a trade union branch secretary. I’m not sure what’s worse – another misleading CV or that Angela and Unison let Stockport Council taxpayers pick up the tab for union activity. I don’t mind what job she did, but I do mind taxpayers being forced to pay for union facility time. Union work should be paid from union subs. Is that really too much to ask?

a short shelf-life
NEW Chancellor John Healey has wasted no time in making a fool of himself by saying he won’t allow supermarkets to rip-off its customers with high prices. Supermarkets are the most competitive, effi ciently-run businesses in the UK and work to incredibly tight margins. Does Healey not know that? What’s he going to do? Force price caps in supermarkets which will lead to empty shelves? There is only one organisation overcharging and ripping off the public and that’s the government with the eye-watering tax burden it is presiding over.

got to stem the tide
LLEGAL immigration is one of the biggest issues facing us – even more so if you’ve got an immigrant hotel in your area or have a house in multiple occu- pation (HMO) opening down your street. But not according to Andy Burnham, who’s done every- thing to avoid the subject since becoming PM – even preferring to discuss how he takes his tea and whether baps are called barms on TikTok, God help us, than tackling immigration. But after 752 illegal immigrants arrived in nine boats last Wednesday alone – the highest number of arriv- als in a single day this year, breaking a record set the month before of 710 arrivals – Burnham won’t be able to duck the issue any longer, especially now his beloved EU, led by Italy, is looking to take a tougher stance after the 60,000 immigrant invasion of the Spanish exclave territory of Ceuta. Italy immediately introduced bor- der checks from people travelling from Spain by air or sea, suspending the Schengen free-movement rules. And 22 Schengen members have written an open letter to Brussels demanding an urgent meeting on the immigration emergency. Germany is taking a tough line too after a spate of Islamic attacks – the latest at Berlin’s Pride Festival last month – and along with Austria, Denmark, and the Netherlands, is looking to fi nd third countries to pro- cess their immigrants offshore and follow the lead of Italy which has struck a deal with Albania. The UK actually pioneered this approach by agreeing to do a deal with Rwanda under Rishi Sunak and the last Conservative government, but which Labour stupidly revoked on their very fi rst day in offi ce. So, while parties on the political right here – the Conservatives, Reform and Restore – have pledged to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights, to revoke Tony Blair’s Human Rights Act and to update the refugee convention in order to

tackle illegal immigration, Labour, fi rst under Keir Starmer and now under Burnham, and those parties on the political left, refuse to counte- nance any of those measures, or any others for that matter. The human rights legal duo of Starmer and Lord Hermer might have thankfully left government, but their ideology runs deep in the Labour Party DNA, and open borders is a signifi cant part of that. Burnham doesn’t want to talk about this because he has no problem with it, and he would not contem- plate the only realistic effective
response – the detention and depor- tation of illegal immigrants. Indeed, he is already looking to dilute his Home Secretary’s tougher stance of a 10-year requirement to qualify for indefi nite leave to remain in the UK. He and his backbenchers are still pushing for a youth free-movement scheme with Europe, for more safe routes into the UK and to get the immigration backlog down, in effect fast-tracking approval for everyone providing a free pass into the UK. Andy Burnham might fi nd out sooner than he thinks that the public wants a PM who will sort out illegal immigration once and for all, not a B-list celeb tik-tokker’s banalities.
print says that money will be taken from successful areas and handed to the less successful ones. No wonder the PM would sooner talk about preferring pork scratchings to scampi fries. His devolution policy is as vacuous as he is.

My advice to West Midlands Police is stop this infuriating virtue signalling and concentrate on getting out on the streets protecting the public and catching criminals.

ABS and Geoff have spoken – and it’s perhaps not the news we might have expected to hear. You can forget your political pundits. Andrew Neil and John Curtice don’t hold a candle to my in-laws, who regular readers know are my political bellwethers. For newbies to this column, they are sensible, brilliant Brits. They own their own home, are still working hard into their 70s, and just seem to know what the vast majority of the UK is thinking. They are also your typical fl oating voters. To give an important bit of context, they have voted for both Labour and Conservative over the years. However, it’s important to note they absolutely detested Keir Starmer and, by contrast, are Nigel Farage fans. I have mentioned before in my column that I think the former Manchester mayor turned Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is a very likeable chap. He’s northern which – for a Middlesbrough girl like me – bodes well. He’s also not a robotic dullard. Crikey, just the other day, even I was laughing along in amusement as he and his Chancellor, John Healey, rated the most popular bar snacks on social media. Even politicians can have a bit of fun after all. And it seems there’s even been a Burnham bounce in the polls, with a couple now putting Labour equal to or ahead of Reform and the Conservatives. As a Tory councillor, it was with a bit of trepidation, then, I asked for my husband’s parents’ thoughts on our new Prime Minister – our seventh in a decade.

“He’s full of crap.” Oh! Blunt and brilliant as ever from Babs – but to be honest, not the verdict I was expecting given the current fanfare of the popular new kid on the block. Their scepticism centred on one thing: money. They want to know exactly “where it was all coming from” for his announcements thus far: £2 bus fare cap, business rates cuts for pubs and the slashing of VAT on energy. They also said, despite his recent promises, he’ll be unable to cut benefi ts for the same reasons Starmer failed. Then Babs added for good measure: “And he has no mandate!” As soon as the silly season of the summer holidays draws to a close, I believe that increased scrutiny will also shift the

THINK chicken nuggets are tasty? Do chicken drumsticks make your mouth water? Then, apparently, it’s time to reconsider your life choices and head to the “chicken empathy museum”. Yes, you read that correctly. If bonkers Peta activists get their way, a former KFC in Fleetwood, Lancashire, will be turned into an attraction which implores people to think about the feelings of chickens before they chow down. Dawn Carr, the organisation’s vice president of vegan projects, has hopes for the building now it’s up for sale. She said: “Such an attraction would turn a building once associated with selling the parts of dead chickens into one that celebrates the hearts of alive ones.” Local Labour councillor Mary Belshaw said it was a “novel idea” and that she would rather have the “museum” than “another large empty property on our high street”. Don’t get me wrong, I love chickens – but usually it’s the fried variety.
PRINCE Harry and Meghan have departed UK shores and are settling back into their usual California routine. But it wasn’t without a wistful look back on their hols by Meghan, who posted a photo dump on to her Instagram page alongside the jolly Cliff Richard track, Summer Holiday. Eagle-eyed royal watchers soon spotted that one of the pics was of Althorp, where Princess Diana is laid to rest. The image, taken from behind and presumably by Meghan, shows Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet with armfuls of fl owers to pay their respects. For many, this would have been a private moment – but for some bizarre reason, Meghan can’t seem to recognise the distinction. In any case, I’d imagine it’s done nothing to repair ruptured relationships, with the couple’s persistent oversharing at the heart of the fallouts. Will they ever learn? I won’t hold my breath.
focus from dad-dancing to actual policy decisions. However, I certainly don’t think that us Tories – or Farage for that matter – can rest on our laurels too much. Despite my in-laws’ reservations, voters often back a person as much as they back a party – and I do think Burnham is most certainly proving to be a man who is hard to hate.
FARMERS are warning that the prolonged drought could lead to food shortages. Tom Bradshaw, President of the National Farmers’ Union, said: “Water security is food security and food security is part of our national security. It does feel like there is going to be some shortages of [food] products.” He said some livestock farmers were using winter food supplies now, as they cannot grow grass to feed their fl ocks and herds. Potatoes are also heavily impacted by drought, as half the crop needs irrigation. Many arable farmers have been forced to bring forward their wheat harvest by several weeks – in some cases the earliest for at least 20 years – because of the extreme weather, with an impact on the amount produced. Lincolnshire farmer Andrew Ward said the last rain he had was on June 11, and even then a mere 4mm. He said: “You cannot grow crops and produce food without water, simple

as that.” Mr Ward added that his farm had fi n- ished its wheat harvest a month early, and with a lower yield because of the weather. He warned: “Across the country we are going to be short of wheat, no doubt about it.” Dr Anna Murgatroyd, a Newcastle University hydrology lecturer, said: “One thing I imagine we’ll start to see is food prices increasing. We are probably likely to see fewer food products from Britain on our shelves.
“We might even start to see shortages depending on what happens over the next couple of weeks and months.” Some farmers, already reeling from soaring fertiliser and other costs, have decided to get out of the industry – agents say an unprece- dented numbers of farms are up for sale.
Mr Bradshaw also argued for farmers to be given tax breaks to build water storage systems on their land. He pointed out: “Those other countries around the world that we currently rely on to pro- duce our food and vegeta- bles, their climates are changing as well.” Asked whether the gov- ernment feared food short- ages, the PM’s spokesman said: “Food security is national security, which is why we’re working closely with farmers, the Environment Agency and the water sector to manage the impacts of this exceptionally dry weather. “We recognise the pressures farmers are facing. It’s why we’re investing in long-term water resilience, supporting our farm water
security and backing British food production. “On drought resilience, the government is driving record investment in water infrastructure, including nine new reservoirs.” The hot spell continues, with much of central and southern England expected to peak at around 28-30C today, before temperatures ease later in the week. There may be rain in northern and western parts of the UK today and tomorrow, and showers in the South East. But the Met Offi ce has said it does not look like August will bring the kind of sustained rainfall that would be needed to reverse the dry conditions that have left all of Wales and half of England offi cially in drought.

plans of hundreds of thousands of British tourists. The warning was for “healthy and active” people as well as vulnerable groups. In France, fi refi ghters, including crews from Ukraine, were damping down hotspots in a scar four times the size of Paris left by the Gironde megafi re. The danger was heightened in Le Porge, near Bordeaux, when shells from World War II were uncovered by the fl ames. The Netherlands said its fi refi ghters are tackling a 21-hectare blaze at De Rosmolen reserve in Limburg. Meanwhile, Hungary and Romania face power cuts after being forced to shut down nuclear reactors cooled by the Danube river due to record low water levels.
BY CHRIS RICHES Pamela Gwinnett is arrested at the airport
Gw
A CARER who fl ed to Spain for 16 months after plundering £300,000 from a pensioner’s life savings has fi nally been jailed. Pamela Gwinnett, 63, jetted off while on bail awaiting trial for emptying the bank account of trusting Joan Green, 89. She escaped to Tenerife in April 2025, just fi ve hours after her applica- tion to vary her bail terms – suppos- edly to allow her to scatter her broth- er’s ashes on the island – was refused. Last October at Preston crown court she was convicted in her absence by a jury and sentenced to six years in jail for theft and fraud, with furious Judge Michael Maher saying she had “some brass neck”.
”
Now – after being extradited last Friday – she has been locked up, with Judge Maher adding two months to her prison time after she admitted breaching her bail conditions. The judge told her: “As I said in October, you have treated this process, as you did Joan Green, with utter contempt. “No evidence of a brother has ever been produced, much less that he passed away. This was a deliberate and sustained attempted to evade justice.” The judge praised journalists for “keeping the case in the public eye” and ensuring Gwinnett, right, was held accountable. Gwinnett, of Adlington, Lancs, plundered the retired accountant’s savings when she became her carer in
Chorley. She con- trolled the pension- er’s fi nances and isolated her from her family. Gwinnett made false claims against Mrs Green’s step- daughter and step- grandchild, includ- ing theft and
neglect, before she gained power of attorney. She used Mrs Green’s cash to fund an extravagant lifestyle as she bought a car worth £22,500 and had pricy beauty and Botox treatments. Gwinnett was fi nally arrested at her Tenerife apartment on July 14 and was further detained on her arrival at Manchester Airport last Friday after extradition. Following yesterday’s sentencing, Joan’s step-grandson Mr
Bolton said Gwinnett had caused “an immense deal of stress, upset, and heartache”. His wife Rebecca added that “it was great to fi nally see justice served”. Gwinnett has been ordered to repay the money she stole. Investigating offi cer PC Georgia Loughton said: “We were relentless in our commitment to bring her back to the UK, where she will now serve her term in prison.”

JOURNALIST and broadcaster Rod Liddle, who has died at the age of 66, was an inimitable writer whose razor-sharp wit and uncompromising, unconventional attitude took him places in his work that few other commentators dared tread. Having edited the Today programme from 1998 to 2002, he resigned after writing incautiously about the Countryside Alliance. Ordered on impartiality grounds to choose between the BBC and his newspaper column, to no one’s surprise he chose the latter. Running Radio 4’s flagship programme behind the scenes was – at the time – one of the most prestigious jobs in media, with seven million listeners a week including the Prime Minister. Leaving to embark on freelance life, Liddle’s controversial, frequently hilarious opinions soon placed him firmly centre stage, where he would remain for the rest of his life. Weekly columns followed in The Spectator, The Sunday Times and The Sun and, while once describing himself as “Blue Labour”, he became one of Britain’s most incisive right- wing commentators. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said she had missed Liddle’s column in recent weeks. Of his death, she said: “I don’t have the words to express how sad this is for journalism, for his readers and most of all his friends and family.” Liddle shocked and entertained in equal measure and his views sometimes triggered accusations of misogyny and racism. In December 2021, students at Durham University staged a mass walkout when he gave an after-dinner speech including remarks regarding trans people, colonialism and sex workers that were deemed offensive. In 2018 he caused outrage in Wales after writing that the Second Severn Crossing linked the country with the “first world”. And in 2019, he came under fire for a magazine arti- cle appearing to call for ballots to favour the Tories by being held on days universities were closed and Muslims forbidden from voting.
He defended it by saying it was satirical and that freedom of speech is meaningless if it does not encompass the freedom to cause offence. Liddle was also regular contributor to pod- casts and broadcasts and made several docu- mentaries, including Immigration is a Time Bomb broadcast by Channel 4 in 2005. It drew complaints that then BNP leader Nick Griffin was allowed to speak unchallenged. Ofcom ruled that the programme was fair. Many arguments posited by the pro- gramme – including dramatic popula- tion growth and pressure on public services caused by the clash between liberal democracies and fundamental religions – are now mainstream. More recently Liddle presented a weekly show on Times Radio. He left his first wife, journalist Rachel Royce, after meeting Alicia Monckton on the reception desk at The Spectator. They got married in 2008. He died at the James Cook University hospital in Middlesbrough on Sunday after a short illness. His children, Wilde and Tyler from his first marriage, and Emmeline from his second, said: “We’re all very saddened and shocked at the sudden passing of our wonderful father. He raised us much as you might imagine, to be inquisitive, brave and always humorous. “Even in hospital in the last few weeks he consistently held the room and never let the awful situation show. He has left a legacy that we are incredibly proud of – he will always be our guide on how to live an extraordinary life.” Liddle, who was born in Sidcup, Kent, first worked as a reporter on the South Wales Echo and Western Mail and was a research assistant and speechwriter for Labour from 1983-1987 – one of its least successful periods. After returning to university – the London School of Economics – he joined the BBC as a trainee producer and became editor of Today in 1998. With his untucked shirt and shock of hair, he exuded rock-star energy and was nick-

named “Rod the Mod” by colleagues. John Humphrys, Today’s lead presenter at the time, said: “Rod was wonderful to work with. We argued like hell – I can’t remember how many times he sacked me or I resigned in anger. “He had an understanding of what makes people tick. There was just something quite magical about him. You never knew what you would end up with. He was a one-off.” Justin Webb, another presenter, added: “He was in many respects the complete opposite of the image he liked to portray. He cared deeply about people and about civilised behaviour… but he also had a genuine hostility to authority that is the mark of a truly great journalist.” Ben Taylor, editor of The Sunday Times, said: “Rod had a wonderful way with words and used his unique talent to speak for the readers, highlighting the cant and absurdity that bedev- ils modern life. We will miss him desperately.”

COMEDIAN Jimmy Cricket has died aged 80 following a short illness. The Northern Irish stand-up comic, inset, died yesterday morning after spending the last few days “surrounded by his family, love, laughter and songs”. Relatives added he had been a “force for joy” and the world was a “far less sillier place today”. They said: “Jimmy brought so much laughter and happiness to countless audiences. But that was nothing to the happiness he gave to his
family. A devoted husband to May for fifty-two years. A wonderful dad to his four children and very silly grandad indeed to his four grandchildren.” “Forever our clown, he was cracking jokes to the wonderful NHS staff and to us all until the end.” The star was given a papal knighthood by Pope Francis for his charity work in 2015. Comedian Tim Vine described him as a “lovely, inspiring, funny man”.

CELEBRITY Traitors fi nalist David Olusoga has hit back at “privileged white middle-class people” who say he should not have accepted an OBE. The British-Nigerian historian, writer, broadcaster, and Bafta-winning fi lm-maker was given the award by Queen Elizabeth in 2019 for services to history and community integration. But he has revealed he has been on the receiving end of barbed remarks because of his heritage and colour.

national honour than it is for some- one who was born here.” The professor of public history at the University of Manchester has become one of Britain’s best-known historians through TV shows includ- ing BBC2’s A House Through Time.
Last year he reached the final round of the first Celebrity Traitors. Speaking to the new edition of Radio Times, on sale today, he said: “My mother was British but national- ity is patrilineal. When I was first in this country, I was Nigerian. I was
naturalised British later in life. I arrived as a little boy from Nigeria and this country, with a lot of help from my mother, invested in me. “Turning an honour down would be a snub. And I don’t want to snub a country that I became a citizen of, and which is my nation.” Mr Olusoga, 56, who grew up on a council estate in Gateshead, says his greatest achievement was, “with the help of my mother, getting myself away from that council estate and those expectations of failure. “I went to schools where there was no expectation of success.” ●The new series of A House Through Time starts on BBC2 on Thursday, August 13, at 9pm.

HERE is a new fi ght for the country- side. This time it’s not about fox hunting or fl ytipping or environmen- tal practices like rewilding. The new battleground is over the massive data centres needed to drive the nation’s artifi cial intelligence (AI) revolution. Britain already has some 550 to 565 oper- ational data centres – essentially giant indus- trial warehouses fi lled with advanced com- puter processors – but government and industry projections show capacity needs to more than double from 1.6 gigawatts (GW) to roughly 3.3GW to 6.3GW by 2030. Labour has been hoping for a data centre building boom to drive economic growth. In 2024, the government designated data centres as critical national infrastructure, meaning they are on an equal footing with water, energy and emergency services sys- tems when it comes to planning. But cam- paigners fi ghting plans insist the UK’s AI economy must not come at the expense of Britain’s food security, rural communities and agricultural heritage. Data centres already use more than 14 million litres of water a day in the UK and, with seven areas of England now offi cially in drought as a result of the heatwaves amid record low rainfall and exceptionally high temperatures, there are fears over water security. Ofgem, the energy regulator, has also raised the prospect of massive addi- tional power demands on the National Grid from hundreds of speculative projects. In Ireland, according to offi cial fi gures from the country’s Central Statistics Offi ce, data centres have accounted for 23% of the nation’s entire metered electricity consump- tion – nearly as much electricity as all resi- dential homes across the whole country and up from just 5% in 2015. And it’s not just in Europe that a battle has been brewing. Last week, country music star Willie Nelson urged US communities to come together and “fi ght” plans for more server warehouses, including in Abbott, Texas, where he grew up and still has a home. N
ELSON, 93, an ardent environmen- tal activist and co-founder of Farm Aid, which has worked for more than 40 years to prevent large-scale factory farms from taking over from family-owned land, wrote in an open letter: “Our commu- nity, like many others, needs to fi ght against data centres invading our land. The last thing we need is a loud, water-thieving, light- polluting data centre anywhere near our town, or any others for that matter.” The singer added: “The strength of rural America has never come from big industrial footprints. It comes from generations of peo- ple, open spaces, local businesses and a connection to the land.” Nelson’s is a message campaign- ers in North Devon would whole- heartedly agree with. There is a growing backlash in the West Country over plans to turn over 850 acres of agricultural land to create a vast data

Food security is national security, and losing good agricultural land on this scale should concern everyone.” She highlighted environmental implica- tions from the loss of ages-old Devon hedge- rows to the destruction of wildlife habitats within a Unesco Biosphere Reserve. Ms Cottle-Hunkin added: “North Devon’s identity is built on farming, food production and stewardship of the land, and proposals of this scale demand the highest level of scrutiny and robust public debate.” Another farmer, Barbara Fryer, told The

We’re produc- ing less food, and it’s no good. It’s really nice agricultural land, and this will wreck it.” Campaigners are gearing up for a battle, writing to ministers and Devon MPs to call for a new Rural Impact Framework that ensures the impacts of data centre construction on food security, rural heritage and farming communities must be properly considered.

the sites rather than drawing water from the nearby River Torridge. Roger Mortlock, chief executive of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, said: “A site the size of 500 football pitches and with buildings as tall as Exeter Cathedral, [the data centre] would guzzle unfathomable amounts of energy and water – and be visible for miles around. “The environmental damage done by data centres is not being considered properly by the government, which instead gives the green light to these massive infrastructure projects without taking their impact into account or thinking about how they should
be done well.” MP for Torridge and Tavistock Sir Geoffrey Cox is also concerned. He said: “I believe this project is vastly out of scale with the local landscape and infrastructure. “It asks local communi- ties to absorb an unfair and disproportionate bur- den by accommodating the largest AI data centre in Europe and one of the largest battery energy stor- age facilities, at a time when thousands of acres of

productive agricultural land in Devon are being taken out of production for solar parks, and when we have recently learned that the grid is struggling to cope with existing demand. “We have yet to see any detailed plans, but in its current form and, indeed, in any form likely to meet the developer’s objec- tives, it is diffi cult to see how this proposal could be considered acceptable.” Xlinks, who have been approached for comment, have previously insisted the site will bring major economic benefi ts to Devon and could partially be cooled by rainwater. The fi ght against data centres is increas- ingly being waged in the courts. In April, campaign groups Foxglove and Global Action Plan won the UK’s fi rst legal chal- lenge against a data centre, preventing the go-ahead of a £1bn site proposed for the Woodlands Park site in Iver, Buckinghamshire. They argued that the gov- ernment and developer Greystoke had failed to properly consider the energy use and environmental impact of the sprawling 72,000 sqm site beside the M25. The government conceded it had failed to ensure the “mitigation measures” – a prom- ise made by the developer determining that no environmental impact assessment was required – could no longer be secured, thus creating a “serious logical error”. Tom Hegarty, spokesman for Foxglove, said the Woodlands case set a precedent that all future mitigation measures designed to waive the need for an EIA [Environmental Impact Assessment] must be enforceable in law.” H
E added: “Foxglove wants to make
sure any new data centres built in
Britain are actually good for

looking to harvest our power and water, and
derail our route to a secure, renewable
energy future – as climate change-fuelled

“New data centres should only be built if
they don’t cause harm to our climate or our
critical supplies of drinking water – or jack
up the price of power.
“Big tech must not be allowed to stack up
billions in profi ts while leaving the rest of us
to pick up the bill.”
The legal precedent also stipulated that

to
the
Secretary of State that any new data centre
will not cause an increase in the UK’s overall
climate emissions nor an increase in national
or regional water scarcity, and that the devel-
oper must build or construct a new, renewa-

necessary grid connections to completely
power each fi nished facility.

BY EMILY BEAMENT
YOUNG white-tailed eagles have been returned to Exmoor National Park for the fi rst time in 200 years in a mission to bring them back to England’s skies. The six birds, which will develop wingspans of up to 8ft, were taken under licence from the wild in Scotland, which rein- troduced them in the 70s. They were moved and cared for by experts while acclimatising to their new surroundings before being released. White-tailed eagles were hunted to extinction in southern England in the 18th century. Forestry England and the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation are working to restore the species and have released 45 on the Isle of Wight since 2019. Those birds

started breeding and the fi rst wild-born chick for the region since 1780 arrived in 2023. Satellite tracking showed some of the island’s population are regular visitors to Exmoor, 100 miles away, confi rming it as a
plum spot for further releases. The national park straddling Somerset and Devon includes coastline and is ideal for breeding and foraging. It is expected the eagles will travel widely before returning to breed when they are four or fi ve years old. Up to 20 more young birds will be released on Exmoor before then. Zoe Smith, from the founda- tion, said: “After so many years absent from this landscape it is a special moment to be returning them.” Ali Hawkins, senior ecolo- gist with Exmoor National Park Authority, said: “This is such an exciting moment for Exmoor and a real boost to biodiversity in the national park. “White-tailed eagles play a crucial role in both marine and land-based ecosystems.”

BOTHERED and bewildered about bills – or rather the lack of them – an energy customer was keen to get Crusader’s help. Monitoring usage is a must for most of us these days so it didn’t take long for Chris and Carol Todd to become very worried when their notifi cations mysteriously dried up. The couple were confi dent they were in credit through direct debits with their supplier E.ON and as careful customers had built up a buffer to see them through the winter months. “But after three months of trying we are still struggling to fi nd out what’s going on,” said Chris. “We’ve

never had a problem like this before and are baffl ed. “It’s like we’re in a billing black hole and it’s very stressful.” Recently their smart meter had been replaced in an upgrade, so had digital gremlins had anything to do with it, they wondered? We asked E.ON to look into it and very quickly Chris told us: “We just had a call from them and the problem is solved. We have now received bills and are very relieved for the assistance and support.” A £75 goodwill gesture in recognition of the concern and time they spent has also been accepted. ● Name has been changed

DON’T be a victim of a taxi scam on holiday. Motor insurance provider Zego (zego.com) advises hazards to be aware of include long expensive routes, claims a meter is broken, crooks pouncing on travellers appearing lost, convincing them that they are the right vehicle, drivers saying they don’t have small change and drivers falsely claiming that a passenger has damaged their vehicle. Essential checks cover looking for offi cial licensing, clearly displayed safety features, booking via a trusted app or recognised taxi rank, using a navigation app to follow your journey to ensure this is not a contrived, roundabout route, sharing your location, paying using a card and staying alert.

PROCOOK GOURMET CLASSIC WHITE KNIFE SET, £59 Shopping lead Zoe says: “Knives aren’t the most glamorous of topics, but how many times do you pull one out of your kitchen drawer only to fi nd it is too blunt to even chop a tomato effi ciently?

I was shocked to find that my 10-year- old cat had been shot with an air gun pellet. He was limping and started licking at his back leg. Our vet removed a pellet from the skin. She said he was lucky because she has seen far worse. Is this your experience and what can be done? A
I agree entirely with your vet, and your cat was lucky. It’s difficult to prove, but my experience is that air gun injuries to cats seem to be causing more serious harm in recent times. It could be that air rifles are more powerful than in previous years. However, it also depends on how close the cat was to the rifle when it was fired. It’s diffi cult to determine the frequency of attacks. Pellets may be found incidentally when taking radiographs for various other investigations. Entry wounds from pellets are usually small and self-seal quickly, and if no major injury has occurred a cat may show few signs. Serious injuries to bones, such as the spinal vertebrae, and long bones are common. Pellets that penetrate the animal’s abdomen or chest will cause pain, loss of appetite or breathing diffi culties requiring emergency veterinary treatment. It is worth reporting attacks to the police and the RSPCA, to establish a pattern. Unfortunately, proving who pulled the trigger is diffi cult. Culprits could, hopefully, be deterred by publicity in the media, including social media. T ey need to know that shooting cats is a criminal off ence (Animal Welfare Act 2006), with an amendment (2021), imposing unlimited fi nes and potential imprisonment.

My Staffordshire cross six-month-old male dog has just been diagnosed with a form of mange, caused by a parasite that lives inside hairs. The treatment has consisted of a drug that has been found to be very effective for mange. Our vet is hopeful for a cure within months. Does this drug have side effects? A
Every drug or treatment has possible side effects. That includes common painkillers available over the counter, for example, and the new class of drugs that recently became available for demodectic mange in dogs. This is the mange that your dog has, also called demodicosis, and caused by the mite demodex canis. T is disease has traditionally been very diffi cult to cure, until recently. Your vet has prescribed a new class of drugs called isoxazolines. Following extensive licensing requirements, including clinical and safety trials, the products were given a licence to treat fl eas and ticks in dogs in 2013. Later, clinical trials demonstrated remarkable effi cacy against demodicosis, with cures exceeding 95%. T is allowed additional licences for the treatment of demodicosis – a great advance in canine welfare. Many millions of dogs have been successfully treated since, giving an opportunity to assess all side eff ects. Most dogs suff er no adverse eff ects, with vomiting, diarrhoea, appetite reduction and lethargy occasionally reported. Very rarely, muscle tremors, twitching and seizures occur (less than one dog in 10,000 treated). T e risk may be higher in epileptic dogs and a risk/benefi t discussion with a vet is recommended for these.

THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE, BBC1, 8PM REMEMBER T e Great British Bake Off ’s Mexican-themed week of 2022? T e hosts shook maracas, wore giant sombreros and spoke in iff y Mexican accents. Also, one of the cakes had a moustache. All of which upset some viewers. So the makers decided national-themed rounds would be scrapped from then on. Luckily, they didn’t apply that policy to its sister show, Sewing Bee, whose own Mexican week survives. And host Sophie Willan, wisely sporting neither a fake ’tache nor a big straw hat, knows just how to whip up enthusiasm. “You’re in ‘May-hee-coh!” she cries.

So tonight, as we pick up the action, where do we fi nd them? Well, would you believe they’re still in the toilet? Meanwhile, at Hunted HQ, hunt coordinator Ray “Mr Chuckles” Howard remains keen to nab a pair he calls “attention-seeking parasites”.

OUNDS like some of the people who built our railways were pretty loathsome types. T at’s the overriding message I’m getting from this, the latest in Rob and Ruth’s Rich Lives, Poor Lives series, which this time looks at the railway boom of the 1840s. By “people who built them”, of course, I really mean “people who had them built”. Characters, that is, such as George Hudson, AKA the “Railway King”, who’d eventually be exposed as an embezzler and forced to fl ee the country, owing £100million in today’s money. George was defi nitely (please forgive my language) a fi rst-class git and three-quarters. T e overriding message I get about the railway builders themselves – the “navvies” –
TOWATCH
is that they were worked to the bone, treated despicably and regularly suff ered horrifi c accidents. And if they weren’t actually killed on the job, as many were, there was every chance they’d be poisoned by the local barkeepers. To make supplies stretch further, Ruth explains, their beer (of which the average navvy downed about eight pints a day) would secretly be watered down – then topped up with additives, from hallucinogenic berries to rat poison, to make that dilution less obvious. Of course, all these tales are grist for the mill for a show such as this, which sets out in every episode to deliver the same two messages it delivered in the episode before – namely: (1) rich people throughout history have led nicer lives than poor people, and (2)

rich people throughout history have often been gits. (Sorry, that’s twice I’ve said “gits” now, isn’t it? I do apologise.) In the case of these Victorian railways, of course, there was a further illustration of this class divide. Rob and Ruth get to see this for themselves when they hop on board a train from Hudson’s era. T e fi rst-class carriage is self-contained and snug, separating its occupants from the riff -raff . And the riff -raff carriages? Well, travelling in these would cost you half as much, but they’d be packed to the gills and there was nowhere to sit. T en again, they rarely got stuff y, mostly thanks to the lack of roof.

ARIES MARCH 21–APRIL 20 You’re bursting with playful energy and it wants an outlet, whether through romance, hobbies or simply having a laugh. Just watch your mouth today. Feelings and thoughts may not line up neatly and that can cause crossed wires if you speak too fast. Slow down, say what you mean and listen back. Clearer words will bring warmer connections.

GEMINI MAY 22–JUNE 21
Friends, ideas and lively exchanges are buzzing around you, which suits you down to the ground. Still, don’t talk over people just because you’re excited. A misunderstanding can be avoided if you choose clarity over speed. Balance what you want with what others need and you’ll come away with stronger bonds and less avoidable nonsense.
For more call 0905 789 4173
LEO JULY 24–AUG 23
Your mind wants adventure, your heart wants meaning and today you’re allowed both. Big thoughts, bold dreams and surprising conversations can open a fresh door if you stay curious. Friends may respond warmly when you share what truly matters instead of putting on a dazzling performance. Trust your instincts. T ey’re not leading you astray.
For more call 0905 789 4175
SAGITTARIUS NOV 23–DEC 21
Your creative fi re is lively today and it wants expression, not suppression. Romance, pleasure and joy are calling but there’s also an emotional wrinkle that needs a proper look. Don’t laugh something off just because it feels vulnerable. T ere’s growth in saying what you really feel. A bold conversation could clear confusion and bring real closeness.

RUPERT AND THE ANGRY SEA No.7 NUTWOOD TALES
“There’s something very wrong, I fear, That threatens everybody here.”
“It’s as if the sea was angry with people here,” Rupert suggests. “Aye, just so,” agrees Jem. “And that’s why everyone in Cocklesands is so worried.” “All except one, you said,” Rupert reminds him. “And there’s the very one!” cries Jem, who has been looking out of the window. “Jonty Jinks himself!” The others follow his gaze to see a man who looks as if he’s gloating over the idle boats. “Fisherman until lately,” Jem adds. “But now he says he’s giving it all up.
GRANT
TAURUS APRIL 21–MAY 21
Your feelings are louder than usual and instead of pretending otherwise, sit with them. Something important is surfacing about love and what actually brings you joy. Be honest in conversation, even if it feels awkward. A new idea could lift your spirits nicely. Stay grounded, yes, but don’t be so cautious that you miss the very thing that could delight you.
For more call 0905 789 4172
CANCER JUNE 22–JULY 23
You’re feeling everything rather deeply, especially where work, ambition and personal responsibility are concerned. Don’t let moodiness run the whole show.

threat over ‘profiteering’
RETAILERS have hit back at the Chancellor’s warning on profi teering, saying they will prove they have fought hard to keep food prices down during the Iran war. Chancellor John Healey said at the weekend the Treasury is prepared to crack down on shops which are taking Britons “for a ride” by using the Middle East confl ict as a cover to then hike their prices. The British Retail Consortium – which represents the UK’s biggest outlets including Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Asda – said supermarkets will resist any claims that they are cashing in on confl ict. Jim Bligh, the BRC’s corporate affairs director, said: “It’s not helpful for the Chancellor to label retailers as potential profi teers when it’s one of the UK’s lowest margin industries. “That competition is also keeping food price infl ation down – on which the government has done nothing to support the industry.” Mr Bligh said Mr Healey risks provok- ing an industry backlash if he sets out plans to crack down on so-called “price gouging”. He added: “We’d keep

demonstrating the strength of competition to the CMA and prove again there is no profi teering.” Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Mr Healey had said: “At home, we will be watching closely for any sug- gestions that customers are being taken for a ride at the pump or the till. “Companies’ willingness to work with the government throughout this crisis has been positive, and there has been no signifi cant evidence of so-called price gouging, But I want to be blunt in reassuring the public that our regulators have the powers to clamp down on it if it happens.” The BRC pointed to three reports by competition watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority, which found no evidence of profi teering among grocers. Food infl ation has fallen in recent months, reaching 1.7% in June. The Food and Drink Federation, which represents the industry’s 1,200 manufacturers, claims the sector has absorbed a 38.4% hike in costs since 2020 and suffered a £2billion bill from regulation last year alone.

The government is proposing to expand its levy on holiday stays
BRITAIN’S leading hospitality trade body has urged Andy Burnham to drop plans to expand the so-called “tourist tax” as part of his devolution drive. UK Hospitality warned the PM in a letter that the overnight visitor levy would cost “33,000 jobs” in the sector. CEO Allen Simpson said: “It’s clear the government is now intending to [make] family
holidays more expensive during a cost-of-living crisis. “I am pro-devolution but I am not in favour of an extra tax that will cost 33,000 jobs.” He said the “politically toxic” levy would cost holidaymakers more than £1billion. Instead he wants a “holiday bonus” that returns a proportion of tax revenues to regions based on how many tourists they attract.
valued it at around £5.5bn – a 73% pre- mium to the closing price on May 29. Last month easyJet said it had taken a £200million profi t hit amid soaring energy costs and a fall in travel demand due to the Iran war. It recorded a pre- tax profi t of £85m in the three months to June, down 70% on the year.
AstraZeneca deal
ASTRAZENECA’S share price fell sharply in early trading after investors cast doubt over the potential merger with its US rival. The UK drugmaker’s shares suff ered a 6% decline to 11,866p, after reports it was exploring a $400billion megadeal with Bristol Myers Squibb. The FTSE 100 giant has reportedly been holding talks with the US group in recent months. Similar FTSE takeovers and mergers have typically caused companies’ share prices to spike as investors anticipate the upside. Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor, said the share dive sends “a clear signal that investors would potentially be opposed to such a deal”. AstraZeneca insists that it will remain based in Cambridge.

60,000 Moroccans invade
THE Spanish think we should give them Gibraltar and Labour seem in favour. No mention of Spanish outposts on the opposite side of the strait – 60,000 Moroccans invaded Ceuta and politicians panicked, fearing a spread of migrants to mainland Spain and beyond (“Spanish border crisis is ‘wake-up’ call for UK”, August 1). The Spanish were clearly not hampered by human rights lawyers as they pushed the migrants back. The problem could be even worse. The Strait of Gibraltar is another “choke point”. If Iran chose to infiltrate and arm militant Islamists they could block access to the Med. Dr Peter Outen, Brentwood, Essex Block boats in Channel – send them back to France
IF THE PM does not stop migrants now, God knows what will happen if we rejoin the EU. How many migrants entering Europe will we be expected to take? Is Andy Burnham unaware of public concern? If he’s not careful, the public may take the law into their own hands, and the resulting vigilantism will be on his shoulders. He must tell migrants they’ll get nothing here. The only solution is to intercept them mid-Channel and return them directly to France. If French police won’t stop them leaving, we should return them. Chris Denny, Ryde, Isle of Wight We fought wars to block invasions, now look at us
THE migrant debacle in Spain emphasises why European governments must scrap the farcical ECHR law. Their Supreme Court ruled anyone landing by sea cannot be sent back, unlike those crossing land borders. As an island nation, this leaves us entirely exposed. Unless this government makes a stand, we face an influx of migrants from countries like Afghanistan, Syria and Eritrea. This will strain our economy, overwhelm public services and create a breeding ground for potential terrorism. Previous generations fought in wars to prevent invasion, yet we are opening our borders to anyone without considering the future. Andy Burnham needs to wake up or people smugglers will continue to thrive on our porous borders. Peter Rushton, Chorley, Lancs Spanish and Italians slam door shut, why can’t we?
THE recent invasion of Ceuta by 60,000 Moroccan migrants saw most returned “in short order”. No asylum claims and no interference from the ECHR? Meanwhile Italy suspends free movement in anticipation of a surge. But back at the Channel it’s open for business as usual. The 21 miles that helped hold back an enemy invasion during the Second World War has today become our Achilles’ heel. Mike Crump, Bridgnorth, Salop
Illegal migrants on a gravy boat to land of milk and honey
armada of rubber dinghies
WHAT a fiasco this country is experiencing with illegal migrants, and it has been going on for years. Most of our politicians couldn’t organise a table at a car boot sale. Many have no business experience but have the audacity to make serious decisions for us all based on little or no real knowledge. We need a flotilla of fast gunboats in the English Channel, we must stop these people from setting foot on UK soil in the first place. Not rocket science, is it? If these boats are blocked at sea, they can return to where they came from. Gerry Carter, Burgess Hill, W Sussex Soft-touch Britain taken for a ride by the French
WHY have we paid a billion quid to France to stop the not-so-small boats as this policy clearly isn’t working, and probably never will, because we are a soft touch for everyone (“Perfect storm carries yet more migrants to Britain’s shores”, August 1)? There are hotels, food, hospitality galore, it must appear paradise to them. However sooner or later the bubble will burst as all us British
JUST like your famous columnist Judy Finnigan, I absolutely loved the stunning Zendaya’s “Spidey” outfit at the London premiere of the latest Spider-Man movie, with both her and husband Tom Holland displaying subtle appropriate “spider” detail (Richard & Judy, August 1).
citizens decide that we’ve had enough. Let’s hope Andy Burnham gets his finger out on this influx soon or else I fear the worst. Annette Hale, Aldridge, W Mids
leaders a valuable lesson
CAN any of the political parties explain to the British people why Spain can send back 60,000 in more or less one day and we have only sent back just under 500 over quite a number of years? Isn’t it about time something was done to curb this influx? If we are not careful we’ll lose our British values altogether. Sylvia Rylance, Cleadon, Tyne & Wear Malone nails net zero con that costs billions and jobs
AS CAROLE Malone notes, the net zero fantasy is a disaster for us. It does nothing to stop droughts and wildfires. This racket promised lower energy costs and hundreds of thousands of jobs; instead, energy bills have soared and the employment boom has happened in China, not the UK (“Get real on net zero fiction”, August 1). Kemi Badenoch is merely echoing what Nigel Farage said
However, every time I look at the star, I do wonder if anyone else has noticed the striking resemblance between Zendaya and a younger Catherine Zeta-Jones when her star was on the rise? Both are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous, of course. Julie Foster, Burnley, Lancs
blows rivals out of water
AT LONG last a party with an idea of the crisis illegal migrants pose our country and a real deterrent to stop this awful situation (“Reform’s plan for Navy to halt Channel crisis”, August 3). This is the first time any party has floated the idea of using our military to turn around the small boats and return them to France. I’m sure Reform UK speaks for the majority in wanting this influx of predominantly male migrants landing illegally on our shores. Aside from the astronomical cost, we’ve seen many go on to commit crimes. Of course, we’ll always have those who are against stopping the small boats but facts are facts. It’s too high a price to pay. Bob Cross, Manchester
years ago. Across the real world, net zero is increasingly seen as a scam. Yet the PM perpetuates it, replacing Ed Miliband with Miatta Fahnbulleh to remain popular and avoid tough decisions. Climate change is real but net zero is a joke. Instead of forcing futile policies, we must ask if humans can actually alter this trajectory. Barrie Warren, Bury, Lancs Self-assessment a magic money tree for scroungers
AS BARONESS Casey reports she would be classed as disabled even though she isn’t. Why (“Casey calls for ‘serious questions’ on support’”, July 30)? It’s all down to self-reporting. Just tick the boxes that say you have a physical or mental health condition that has lasted or is expected to last more than a year and whether this reduces your ability to carry out day-to-day activities. Does nobody check? No wonder there’s so many on benefits when they can self-assess. As the baroness has shown, medical proof and face-to-face appointments are needed now. How many would sign-off if they had a face-to-face appointment? Anne Jones, Stalybridge, Cheshire

Orthodox on course for Morny
TOP juvenile sprinter Orthodox is back on the right path after a setback with all roads now leading to the Group One Prix Morny in France. Clive Cox’s colt looked a future star when he scooted to a three-and-a-half length victory in the second tier Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. The trainer had pencilled in the Prix Robert Papin on July 19 for Orthodox’s fi rst experience of racing on the continent, but the trip to Chantilly had to be shelved due to an unsatisfactory scope result. However, the Jason Goddard-owned youngster is now in rude health and building up to his next targeton August 23. “Orthodox didn’t miss much work thankfully,” said Cox, who teamed up with Gerald Mosse to take the 2012 Prix Morny at Deauville with Reckless Abandon. “He’s doing grand and will have a normal preparation for the Prix Morny. He was supreme in the Norfolk, he got close to lowering the two-year- old course record. We hold him in very high regard.” Perfect Power (2021), Vandeek (2023) and Venetian Sun (2025) have been recent

TADEJ POGACAR is returning to the Spanish Vuelta after a seven-year absence to pursue a Grand Tour hat-trick. The Slovenian rider’s UAE Team Emirates-XRG team announced its line-up for the race yesterday, confirming Pogacar (right) will take part after claiming a record- equaling fifth Tour de France title last month. Pogacar said: “It was my first ever Grand Tour back in 2019 and an amazing experience.
USA spinner Bodugum Akhilesh Reddy has received an eight-year ban from all cricket for attempted match-fixing. A tribunal found Reddy (right) guilty on three charges of breaching the ICC’s anti- corruption code during the Abu Dhabi T10. The charges relate to trying to “fix, contrive or

ENGLAND’S Mimi Rhodes and Ireland’s Leona Maguire have been named as captain’s picks for the Solheim Cup by Anna Nordqvist. Spain’s Julia Lopez Ramirez and France’s Nastasia Nadaud have also received wildcard selections for the event at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands from September 11-13. Rhodes’ inclusion comes after she won three European Tour events last season to be named Rookie of the Year. “It’s always been a dream and goal of mine to play in the Solheim Cup,” said the 24-year-old (inset). Maguire, who has taken 8.5 points from her 12 matches in the competition, said: “I love the Solheim Cup, it brings the best out of my game and I love being part of the team. I can’t wait to represent Europe for the fourth time.”

Her withdrawal comes five years after her historic win in Flushing Meadows, when she became the only qualifier to win a Major title, aged 18.

first thing I said to Henry was, ‘Do you want to stay at Northampton?’,” Hearn told the Telegraph. “And he said, ‘Yes. I love the club, I love the team, I love that I live 10 minutes away, and I think we’re going to win the championship again next year and I want to win championships’. “I told him he could get 10 times more money to go elsewhere but he said he really did not want to move if he can help it.” Hearn also confirmed Saints have already made an opening contract offer – but he believes it falls well short of reflecting Pollock’s market value. The promoter added that several major commercial partnerships for Pollock are due to be announced over the coming weeks, claiming the England star’s off-field earnings are already worth

Each club is permitted only one marquee player whose wages sit outside the £6.4m salary cap, with fly-half Fin Smith (top circle) widely expected to occupy that position at Saints. Hearn believes rugby’s financial landscape could soon change, however, and warned Saints against tying Pollock to a long- term contract that could quickly become outdated. He also revealed the pair are working on a new commercial strategy centred around next year’s Rugby World Cup in Australia. Hearn added: “He wants to win the World Cup, he wants to win championships with Northampton and he wants to win a gold medal for Great Britain Sevens in the Olympics.

FIRED UP Kop striker Isak
have long way to go
BY IAN DOYLE ALEXANDER ISAK admits there remains “a lot of work to be done” for Liverpool as the clock ticks down on the start of the new season. The Reds ended their pre-season tour of the United States in disappointing fashion when they let slip a 2-0 half-time lead to lose 4-2 to Leeds in Chicago on Sunday. Isak featured for the opening 45 minutes, his first appearance under new head coach Andoni Iraola having returned from helping Sweden reach the last 32 of the World Cup. Asked about working with new boss Iraola, Isak pointed to how Liverpool are still significantly short of being in ideal condition for the start of the Premier League campaign in less than three weeks’ time. He said: “I mean it is early days but the training has felt good. “We all like his game ideas, it feels positive but there is still a long way to go. There is a lot of work to be done. “Of course I hope to be in good form as early as possible and to be able to help the team achieve success. That’s the plan.” Isak played for 90 minutes three times for Sweden at the World Cup having failed to last a full match in 22 outings for Liverpool following his £125million arrival from Newcastle last September. And of his return to action for the Reds, the striker said: “It feels good after a break and some training, so it is always nice. “I recharged the batteries, had a nice break, just taken it easy, mostly. “I got to feel the ball a bit more (against Leeds). I got a bit of running in and built up some fitness. In these games, the most important thing is to get the body going and it felt good. “And for the team too, I think we had a pretty good first half. “I feel good, no problems. Physically speaking, pre-season is obviously there to build up your physical condition. That’s what we’re going to do.”

IFENAYI NDUKWE
At a time when the centre-back department is emptier than Mike Bassett’s trophy cabinet, Ndukwe has at least shown he can play a role further down the line. The giant Austrian turned 18 in the spring but looks like a man-mountain who could be at home as a Liverpool centre-back in years to come. Ndukwe should feel hugely encouraged by his performances this past fortnight. He will go on loan but it’s obvious what head of global talent Matt Newberry saw in him during the Under-17s World Cup. His distribution from the back needs work but he looks quick, powerful and his aerial prowess for someone of his age is exceptional.

AND MISSES
TREY NYONI
Sorry Swansea City, your hopes of loaning Nyoni should be up in smoke after this tour. It’s always risky making judgements on the basis of pre-season games alone but Nyoni looks like he has come on leaps and bounds since last year’s 21 Premier League minutes. Nyoni should be considered a first-team player now. It’s understandable why many consider Rio Ngumoha the next breakout star at Anfield but Nyoni, while far more understated, looks just as talented in his own right in the centre of the park. A big season awaits.

But having cruised into a 2-0 lead against Leeds in Chcago, a defensively poor second period saw them lose 4-2. That blip aside it was a productive couple of weeks for the Reds.

With Virgil van Dijk back on Merseyside and Jeremy Jacquet sidelined, this tour presented Gomez with a real opportunity. But just eight minutes into the summer schedule, that dream was in tatters. Captain for the night, he was forced off with a muscle injury which now leaves him absent for the start of the new season. If Gomez was out to show Liverpool don’t need another centre-back this summer, the latest setback only heightened the need for one.
JEREMY JACQUET
DOWN AND OUT Gomez was injured again
Three friendlies into the summer and the £60m defender is yet to kick a ball for his new club and there are serious concerns over who starts alongside Virgil van Dijk against Newcastle on August 23. Jacquet was already up against it having not played since a season- ending shoulder injury in February. And given he is only turning 21 this month, expecting immediate results from such a young and inexperienced player feels harsh. It’s unclear at this stage if his injury is related to the shoulder issue of earlier this year or if he has picked up a different injury entirely. But one thing is clear – the pre-season tour of the USA passed him by.
SUNNY OUTLOOK O’Nien
Luke loves the heat
BY LARRY HENRY JR LUKE O’NIEN believes Sunderland’s pre-season tour in the United States will play a major role in their preparation for the upcoming campaign. The Black Cats closed out their summer trip with a gritty 1-0 victory over second-tier side Wrexham at Subaru Park thanks to Nordi Mukiele’s goal. O’Nien put in a solid shift at centre-back and the 31-year-old is feeling positive ahead of the new Premier League season. “Really good,” O’Nien said when asked about the US tour. “I think it was tough in the heat and by the end I felt like I was waddling like a penguin. “We have no sun in the North East so it’s nice to come out and play in this weather. I think it’s only going to help us with our fitness as we get back to England. “The teams have been really competitive. It’s been a good test for us. “As a team we’ve been evolving, growing, getting fitter and stronger and a bit more cohesive and that’s what pre-season is for.”

W

INCOMINGS and outgoings are likely at Everton before the Toffees’ Premier League campaign kicks off against Crystal Palace on August 22. But ahead of that curtain-raiser, David Moyes still has plenty of decisions to make on those currently in his ranks. Joe Thomas takes a look... Jake O’Brien at centre-back No one at Everton, including O’Brien, would have wanted the Republic of Ireland defender to be starting at right-back this deep into pre-season. With Seamus Coleman having left and Nathan Patterson likely to follow suit, Everton are one transfer away from not having a senior right- back. It is difficult to see the issue going unresolved this summer, with Celtic’s Alistair Johnston the latest option they have enquired about. The sooner the position is addressed the better, so Moyes (inset) can give O’Brien more minutes at his natural spot of centre-back. Has Adam Aznou done enough for Moyes? Aznou took to X on Sunday to ask for help finding a clip of him beating two Hamburg players with one twist. His cameo in Germany was another positive display of his pre-season. While his defensive capabilities have not been extensively tested, he has showcased what he can do from an attacking sense at left-back. Whether Moyes has been convinced remains to be seen, but given Everton have uncertainty over the wide attacking positions, Aznou could also be used on the left wing, where he was so effective from the bench in his only
h
he
ft
competitive appearance for the club, against Sunderland in the FA Cup in January. Can Carlos Alcaraz make a case for the No.10? This feels less likely given the number of midfield options Everton already have. And probably means the prospect of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall occupying his favoured box-to-box role is slim. But Alcaraz remains a talented player who has proven he can impact Premier League matches. He brought intensity to the game when he entered on the left wing at Hamburg, but his strength is through the middle. It is a crowded spot though and, given that and his contract situation, he is a player the club may well consider offers for. Will Moyes keep 19-year-old Harrison Armstrong with the squad? After two impressive loan spells in the Championship, this is a big summer for the teenage midfielder. He played well off the bench at Tottenham last season and Everton must ensure they do not impede his development, something which could be tricky with the arrival of Hayden Hackney. Armstrong has real potential and the coming weeks will see the pressure fall on Everton to find the right solution. What about Tyler Dibling? Merlin Rohl has been impressive on the right in pre-season, but that position does not feel a natural fit for him. Dibling might be a better option. That requires Moyes to keep giving him minutes and for him to use them as an opportunity to regain confidence and showcase his undoubted talents. He is the biggest untapped asset in this Everton squad.

was shrewd enough to shift the attention from Arsenal’s title defence onto their rivals, stating the pressure is really on the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool to come and claim it. “To defend a title, you don’t have to think about it. It’s more difficult for the other teams because the pressure is there, not on the team who won the title.” Taking the step up from the Belgian Pro League to the Premier League is one of the biggest in Europe. However, when asked if looking around his new dressing room gives him the confidence that his new teammates are ready to win another title, the answer was a simple one. “Of course,” he replied. “When I see the training, and how hungry every player is for every training drill, that means everybody’s ready to compete at the highest level. And when
you’re an Arsenal player, you
want to compete for every title
that’s possible. So, it’s not only
about the Premier League, it’s
about all the competitions we are
playing for.
“And I see a clear mindset [from
the players] and that everybody is
on the same page to win titles

BY TOM CANTON GREECE international Christos Tzolis has already gained God-like status from his new teammates after running them into the ground in training. Following his £34million move from Brugge, the winger became an instant hit with his new fans after a cool finish on Saturday against Girona for his first goal in pre-season. But it is his performance in fitness testing on the training pitch that has left the Arsenal squad and staff in awe after they gave him the nickname ‘Leonidas’. Gerard Butler plays King Leonidas (right) in the 2006 movie ‘300’, when he leads an army of 300 Spartans against an enormous Persian force. And the 24-year-old revealed: “One of the fitness coaches called me Leonidas, from ‘300’. “I know I’ve won so far but there are not all the players here. There are still

Hopkinson and Wilson are deemed the key men who would make any decision on Bruno being sold, with no

It’s like 20 metres, go back, 40 metres, go back, 60 metres, go back, I think five times in a row. “So it’s around 1.2k and it’s as fast as possible. Actually, it’s pretty hard. “I had the advantage that I started pre-season also with Brugge, so I was already training for two weeks and always I wanted to keep myself fit during summer, so I was ready. I came here ready, my fitness level, and I was happy that I could show it here as well.” Tzolis can’t wait for everyone to join up with the squad and then for his Premier League debut season. “It’s a great opportunity to be a player at a team at this kind of level because it’s one of the best in the world and that makes me very happy to be here and more hungry as well to develop,” he added. “I’m in the right club to develop and to get to the highest level. I’m really happy that I have this opportunity and I want to take it.”

He arrived in Spain via a commercial flight and travelled to La Manga via car to join the rest of his team- mates and new head coach Matthias Jaissle.

FROM BACK PAGE meant that had his failed test produced the same result now, charges would not have been brought. The winger, 25, has not played a competitive match since November 2024. But there are multiple Premier League clubs who have contacted Chelsea to ask about his situation, including Coventry. Blues boss Xabi Alonso said a decision over his future has not yet been made. He said: “We need to see, it’s too early to tell, to see how he is in terms of fitness, in terms of this game time that you need to be involved again, so it’s still early.” Mudryk is now in Hong Kong with his team-mates for the second leg of Chelsea’s four-country pre-season tour. Blues defender Trevoh Chalobah is on his way to Italian side Como in a £25.7million deal after agreeing personal terms with Cesc Fabregas’ Serie A side.
