因凡蒂诺的“情妇”获得“离职补偿”

六位数离职补偿金的独家披露将增加对国际足联主席的压力 作者：Tom Morgan, Tim Kohn, Claire Nowell, Katherine Rushton 和 Ben Rameel

《电报》报纸获悉，欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）在詹尼·因凡蒂诺担任其秘书长期间，曾将其一名涉嫌与他有关系的女性员工予以离职处理。该女性在与因凡蒂诺（当时为欧洲足球管理机构的高级官员）涉嫌维持关系后，获得了一笔离职补偿金。据称，她在两人关系期间得到了因凡蒂诺的提拔。在她离开后，该足球机构还根据法律为其在一家商学院攻读MBA支付了费用。

在昨晚的一份声明中，欧足联承认已支付该款项，并知晓关于该女性与因凡蒂诺存在关系的指控。声明称，欧足联此后已“修订”其条例，以“反映现代高知名度组织中的相关规定”。

这一承认是在《电报》报纸进行的一项调查之后作出的。该调查揭露了欧足联高层对因凡蒂诺利益冲突的重大担忧，这将增加其作为国际足球联合会（Fifa）负责人现有职位的压力。他于2005年加入欧足联，在那里工作了10年，随后于2016年2月离开并成为国际足联主席。

现在可以披露的是，这位已婚并育有四个孩子的国际足联主席，在担任欧洲足球管理机构秘书长期间，涉嫌与一名初级员工维持关系。《电报》报纸的调查采访了相关同事和高层人士，他们指称因凡蒂诺对该女性的优待使其在离职时获得了至少六位数的补偿金。

昨晚，一名国际足联发言人表示，从未有员工就因凡蒂诺的行为提出过任何投诉。该发言人表示：“国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺强烈否认这些指控，它们完全不属实。任何关于不当行为或违反章程或条例的暗示都是诽谤性的。”

“欧足联和国际足联没有任何员工曾就因凡蒂诺的行为提出投诉，因为从未发生过他参与其中的此类事件。所有与员工相关的公司行为，包括任何离职和遣散方案，始终由相关董事根据所有适用条例批准。”

涉嫌使用欧足联资金的行为发生在因凡蒂诺担任秘书长期间，且在涉嫌关系维持期间，该女性被提拔至管理岗位。据消息人士称，欧足联的一位高级官员 Michel Hatun 就此私事对他提出了质疑，随后双方达成协议，由该女性在获得补偿金后离职。

欧足联目前是呼吁因凡蒂诺辞去国际足联职务的足球机构之一。作为协议的一部分，欧足联还支付了该女性在一家商学院参加MBA课程的费用，每年费用约为£40,000。

该女性——《电报》报纸决定不公开其姓名——在两人关系开始时处于行政岗位。消息人士明确表示，她随后被提拔至一个薪酬更高的管理岗位。据称，因凡蒂诺利用其关系为该女性在类似领域争取到了一个新的高薪职位。他还主导了她的离职补偿，动用了本可用于[]的欧足联资金。

詹尼·因凡蒂诺昨日在哥伦比亚，就包括英国在内的基层足球问题发表了具体看法。

昨晚，一名欧足联发言人确认了该笔补偿金，并强调该组织此后已做出改变以变得更加现代化。他表示：“我们知晓相关指控，并确认向相关个人支付了一笔离职金，以及在当地商学院攻读MBA课程的学费。该款项符合当时针对离职员工的条例。”

“自2016年以来，此类规定已得到加强，目前的员工规定——适用于所有级别的欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）员工——反映了现代高知名度机构的规定。”詹尼·因凡蒂诺先生可能提拔了他的所谓情妇，为其加薪20%，使其薪资达到约30万瑞士法郎（约10万英镑）。据称，这种快速晋升引起了同事们的质疑，以及对他可能滥用权力为其谋职的担忧。当时，他负责一个足球引擎，监管15个国家的体育运动，收入约为1,200英镑。目前尚不清楚詹尼·因凡蒂诺先生的妻子莱奥娜·阿尔-阿德卡（Leona Al-Adeqa）是否知晓这段所谓的男女关系。然而，据称在哈通（Hatun）先生得知此事后，矛盾达到了顶点。在广泛的调查中，《电报》报纸采访了多位关于这段所谓私情关系的证人。一名内部人士表示：“他犯了一个巨大的错误，这几乎毁了他的职业生涯。今天（内部）有人告诉哈通，‘你必须开除他’。”另一名被称为“哈通”的内部人士挑战了哈通，说了类似“职业生涯”之类的话，而哈通则说，“（它）将会下降，然后离开。”多方来源声称，哈通先生告诉詹尼·因凡蒂诺先生，要么是他离开，要么是那个女人离开。关于这段所谓关系的细节出现在詹尼·因凡蒂诺先生试图将世界杯以及所有国际足球联合会（FIFA）顶级男女比赛的商业利益控制权出售给一组投资者的计划失败一周之后。欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）的结果帮助击败了该计划。该管理机构指责国际足球联合会（FIFA）试图出卖足球的灵魂。北美和中美洲的中北美及加勒比足球联合会（Concacaf）国家跟随欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）本身谴责了该计划。詹尼·因凡蒂诺先生此前主持了一届世界杯，在空间、制作以及在罗纳德·杨（Ronald Young）游说后，国际足球联合会（FIFA）在对话中“暂停了暂停”美国的前进。然而，詹尼·因凡蒂诺先生已告诉他的众多批评者，他没有辞职计划，并于本周在罗马会见了一些工作人员。当《电报》报纸对其进行质询时，哈通先生拒绝发表评论。由何塞·威廉姆斯（Jose Williams）提供追加报道。

威德库姆警方重启法拉奇火弹袭击调查

作者：丹尼尔·马丁斯（Daniel Martins）和鲁比·克莱姆（Ruby Clime）

正在调查州 Weldes 谋杀案的反恐警察已重启对法拉奇（Farage）家中火弹袭击事件的调查。调查人员昨晚宣布，他们正在重启一项关于 2025 年 4 月伦敦一处住址企图入室盗窃报告的调查。《电报》报纸获悉，此次事件涉及 6 个次级装置被推入法拉奇先生的火弹中。警方当时对此次袭击进行了调查，但未确认任何嫌疑人。该调查此前已关闭，直到出现新的调查线索。昨晚，反恐警察局（CTP）表示，已发现一条当时未被“跟进”的调查线索。因此，伦敦反恐警察局已就一项涉及 60 多次刑事调查处理的强制性报告提交至独立警察行为监察局（IOPC）。

前保守党部长、改革英国党（Reform UK）发言人迈克·威德库姆（Mike Welddecombe）于 7 月 1 日被发现死在德文郡哈洛（Harlow）的家中。28 岁的约书亚·埃夫里（Joshua Every）于 7 月 20 日被指控谋杀她。CTP 高级国家协调员埃文斯（Evans）表示：“作为对 Axis Welddecombe 谋杀案持续调查的一部分，警员已重启对去年公开报告的一起事件的调查。”

法拉奇先生透露，去年 4 月他的家中遭到了火弹袭击。他告诉《电报》报纸，有 10 个次级装置被推入他的火弹中。他在 4 月份表示：“这是一次蓄意企图。当时我不在家，但当我回来打开门时，我发现了损坏的情况。”

IOPC 确认，针对一名伦敦反恐警察局工作人员在企图入室盗窃案中“未能识别并跟进调查线索”的指控，该局正在调查其行为。埃文斯先生表示：“两起调查中的受害者及其家属均已获得最新进展，我们将继续支持他们。鉴于公众对 Axis Welddecombe 之死调查的高度关注，为我们提供最高标准的

FBI称英国穆斯林慈善机构资助哈马斯

作者：Harley Dixon

特别关注：美国联邦调查局（FBI）表示，一家英国穆斯林慈善机构被用于资助哈马斯。据指控，英国最大的穆斯林慈善机构之一的44-Khan基金会被用作掩护，以援助为名向该恐怖组织的领导人发送资金并“追踪”货款。其“全球总监”Mohammad Susaid Hameen上周在英国新法林翻新期间被其团伙逮捕，被指控资助并共谋支持该巴勒斯坦犯罪组织。

44-Khan基金会是一家在英国注册的慈善机构，也是英国难民机构的合作伙伴，仅去年的收入就达700万英镑。除了援助工作，它还在英国及海外经营伊斯兰学校，并与政府密切合作，包括被引用在政府一个针对穆斯林的调查新方案小组中。在过去五年中，它已从BMBC（允许慈善机构向合格捐赠者申请退税的十项首席计划）申请了超过£6mn的礼品援助（GIR Aid）。

这些指控引发了人们的质疑：英国捐赠者的资金有多少被该恐怖组织截获，以及为什么该慈善机构没有更早地受到调查。国会议员呼吁加强对慈善机构的审查，并立即对任何被指与恐怖资金有关的机构做出结论。

起诉书称，常驻土耳其的Hama先生于2009年8月成为44-Khan的区域总监，自2023年起担任全球总监，并将其用作“掩护组织”。起诉书补充道，他是“哈马斯的长期支持者”，在受雇于44-Khan之前，他曾在社交媒体上发布“美化恐怖分子”的信息。

特工们检查了Hama先生与被描述为“哈马斯高层领导人”的Ghazi Ahmad之间发送的加密信息。这些信息显示，他们利用慈善机构的名义和仓库将物资运送给哈马斯。

伯德汉姆重新考虑 P. Harper 杀手案

针对两人提前释放引发的公众强烈反对，已有 £851,000 人签署请愿书要求他们继续留在监狱中 作者：Dan Martin 和 Will Bolton

安迪·伯德汉姆（ANNY BURKHAM）正在考虑阻止两名杀死 P. Andrew Harper 的男子提前释放，在首次会面后发现三者毫无关系，但为了让他们尽可能长时间地留在狱中，他能做的一切。从 10 月开始，政府计划在 10 个月内提前释放 £1,000 名罪犯，以缓解英国过度拥挤的监狱压力。在《电报》报纸披露 P. Harper 的杀手 Joann Cole 和 Albert Bowers 将在提前释放名单之列后，监狱情况引发了公众的强烈反对。已有超过 £98,000 人签署请愿书，要求杀手留在监狱中。

首相在为《电报》报纸撰写的一篇关于 Tyne day 的文章中表示，通过防止 £1,000 名和儿童性诱导者被强制提前释放，他已经“将可能采取的措施推向了极致”。然而，昨晚一名政府消息人士确认，伯德汉姆先生准备“探索每一个选项”以将 Cole 和 Bowers 留在狱中。

P. Harper，24 岁，2005 年 8 月在伯克郡的 Sathamabad 调查一起 £10,000 价值的 spud bike 盗窃案后死亡。当时 27 岁的 Bowers 和 Cole 试图乘坐由 18 岁的 Henry Long 驾驶的汽车逃跑，P. Harper 的脚踝被车的 toe rope 勾住，他在黑暗中被拖行了一英里多，时速 4kmph。Long 不符合提前释放的条件，但由于 Cole 和 Bowers 被判定为过失杀人且已服刑一半，他们被列入提前释放计划。这导致人们呼吁为任何被判定为袭击紧急工作人员的人设立专项豁免。

目前尚未做出最终决定，但据信官员们正在研究为 Cole 和 Bowers 制定专项豁免。这两名男子是 450 名因过失杀人服刑且符合假释提前释放条件的人员之一。最初认为针对性的豁免将是非法的，另一个选项是研究释放更多监狱空间的方法，这样到 1 月份这两名男子符合释放条件时，就可以在不对过度拥挤的监狱系统造成太大压力的情况下，为数百名过失杀人犯提供豁免。这可以通过审查无限期服刑人数、提前释放更多女囚、将更多女监转化为无限期囚犯监狱，或更快地将外国罪犯遣返回国来实现。

泰晤士河谷政策与犯罪专员 Matthew Barber 表示，这种潜在的态度转变是“令人欢迎的消息”，他表示：“我们面临监狱过度拥挤的问题，但解决该问题的答案绝不应该是释放危险的杀手和性犯罪者。”

然而，任何针对 P. Harper 杀手的豁免都可能面临法律障碍。《电报》报纸获悉，政府收到的法律建议称，他们只能合法地为所有被判定犯有特定罪行的罪犯创建豁免。在 47 天内，它指出为了让 Cole 和 Barber 留在监狱中，他们还必须豁免大约 450 名被判定为过失杀人的人员。该建议指出，创建一项允许其他过失杀人犯释放而将这两名男子留在狱中的豁免是非法的。在这种情况下，通过按章办事和拒绝加班来抗议囚犯提前释放。

Naps 缓刑联盟表示，伯德汉姆先生释放 £1,000 名罪犯的计划可能会给“那些工作过度且薪资不足的员工”带来巨大的麻烦。Naps 总书记 Jan Lawrence 表示，监狱管理人员可能会通过拒绝在规定工作时间之外执行额外职责且没有补偿来做出回应。他告诉 BBC 的 Today 节目：“我们没有足够的资源。”

法拉奇与泰斯起诉国家犯罪局泄露银行账户信息

法拉奇（Farage）与泰斯（Tice）正起诉国家犯罪局（NCA），称其非法将他们的银行交易记录泄露给媒体。这两位英国国会议员周五向高等法院提交申请，在有关资金转移的调查细节被提供给记者后，寻求从该执法机构获得“超过 £20,000”的赔偿。国家犯罪局正对这些议员关于其在泄密事件中扮演角色的指控进行内部调查，但尚未承认相关责任。然而，这两位议员指责该警察机构在拖延时间，因此决定通过诉诸法院来强制解决此事。

水务国有化将使纳税人承担 1400亿英镑 成本，智库警告政府

作者：Sam Ring (BBC) (COSMICONSTRYK)

政府收到警告，将水务部门国有化将使纳税人面临 1400亿英镑 的账单。泰晤士水务（Thames Water）的债权人已告知财政部，由于高于监管的，纳税人将面临高达 1400亿英镑 的即时补偿账单。其他官方估计为 2000亿英镑，其中包括为现有投资承诺提供资金，以及 2000亿英镑 的损失。

这份由智库 Premier Economics 代表泰晤士水务债权人出具的估算报告已提交给政府，此时安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）正计划加强国家对公共事业的控制。英国最大的水务供应商泰晤士水务的未来也笼罩在不确定性之中，除非债权人报告更多资金，否则该公司在11月前将面临资金耗尽。环境大臣 Emma Bernards 在6月实际上阻止了一项审查。

Premier Economics 的专家还警告称，在国有化后的主要行业中，纳税人在未来十年内可能需要承担数千亿英镑的额外成本。这些资金将用于资助环境义务和升级过程中的通货膨胀。其他对该部门监管资本价值（即水务公司被允许向客户收取的费用基础）的估算。

Premier Economics 表示，其计算主要由已与商定的非常庞大的投资计划驱动。它还警告说，将公共事业纳入公共控制可能需要数年时间，这将推高目前的通胀成本。它还估计，未来二十年的部门运行成本可能会达到数千亿英镑，最终将由纳税人资助。

报告警告称：“落在公共部门的成本不会在国有化那一刻结束。在 2025, 水务公司估计，在气候变化以及 2005 至 2050, 人口增长的背景下，实现政府目标和环境义务将花费 2500亿英镑。虽然这些增加了成本，但工业化成本以及投资的公共所有权在潜在的供应结果在这些资产的寿命结束前，尚未由政府支出或其他形式的公共债务资助。”

反恐部门调查哈马斯资金指控

（）

慈善委员会已启动一项针对涉嫌与哈马斯有关联的调查，并禁止其在未经监管机构同意的情况下支出资金。伦敦警察厅的反恐部门也已启动针对潜在恐怖主义资金指控的调查，并于 7月 31. 在克罗伊登（Croydon）的两个地址进行了搜查。就在同一天，Mr. Hamas 因其在 1997 年的而被逮捕。

国家犯罪局的 John A. Kamberg（美国演员及国家安全总检察长）表示：“从这类慈善机构流出的资金，正如实情所述，资助了恐怖活动，包括该组织在 10月 1 实施的袭击。”

AUKAIC 基金会试图与 Mr. Hamas 撇清关系，称其为“我们的一个执行合作伙伴的雇员”。一名发言人补充道：“我们很自豪地被描述为一家注册慈善机构，在分发人道主义援助以及在 75 年以上的生命中减轻贫困和苦难方面拥有超过二十年的卓越记录。”

AUKAIC 也是那些不在教育、就业或培训中的年轻人的主要来源，在 40 岁时面临四五年的风险，且具有特殊教育需求和残疾（brain）。只有 1 个人在接受短期家庭护理后进入大学教育、就业或培训。

首相安迪·贝克汉姆（Andy Beckham）已将 40 年的教育视为一个人的死亡，以降低不断上涨的福利账单。

《泰德·拉索》效应推动女足球队发展

俱乐部相信，在英格兰女足（Lionesses）取得成功的基础上，这部风靡的喜剧将助力女足运动的普及率激增 作者：卡梅隆·亨德森（Cameron Henderson）

“泰德·拉索效应”此前已经给西伦敦郊区带来了美国游客的涌入。如今，在这一美国剧集倡导女性在2019.年参与运动后，女足球教练们在报名人数中进行着深度测试。这部关于一名被雇佣去管理陷入困境的英国足球队AFC里士满的美国大学足球教练的Apple TV喜剧，在美国拥有大量忠实拥趸。在最后一季中，由杰森·因迪维塔（Jason Indivita）饰演的拉索回到了AFC里士满的女足队执教。

里士满与巴恩斯天鹅PC（Richmond & Barnes Swans PC）的教练兼创始人理查德·纽威尔（Richard Newell）表示，新一季确实在这一全女性俱乐部中引起了轰动。“WhatsApp群组里出现了一些关于《泰德·拉索》的动态，”他说。“人们在观看这部剧，并迫不及待地想在九月份回归。这绝对在队员中创造了一些兴奋感。”他表示，结合今年夏天的世界杯效应，“我预计在新赛季开始时会看到人数增加。”

里士满与鲍PC获胜者队（Richmond & Bow PC Winners）的28岁经理理查德·波顿（Richard Bolton）表示，他的队员们对于女足比赛能处于核心地位感到“兴奋”。“所有类型的人都参与进来，这激发了她们的好奇心，”他说。“对于女足获得同工同酬，出现在媒体上的情况与她们之前的经历截然不同。她们现在都非常低调且专注。”

随着英格兰女足（Lionesses）在2022年和2025年连续赢得锦标赛，女足的普及程度在近年来不断增强。

泰德·拉索返回英国，启动女足“热带AFC”里士满

来自英国体育局（Sports England）的数据显示，女性参与者人数增长了70%，从2018年每月至少踢一次球的106,400人增加到2020.年的206,200人。

在解释这一现象时，英国体育局营销总监凯特·戴尔（Kate Dale）表示：“女足参与人数的增长表明，当具备在全国各地的家庭中普及的能力时会发生什么。”

“当女性和女孩在过去10年里在比赛中获得代表权，这项运动就更有可能被接纳——这是积极的社会意义在发挥作用。”

“像《泰德·拉索》这样的剧集，通过温暖、乐观和幽默的方式向年轻人展示足球，使这项运动对新观众来说更加亲切，并鼓励更多人参与其中。”

纽威尔先生是一位有两个孩子的营销从业者，他在2011年创办了彭齐舍姆广场PC（Penziesham Square PC）的青少年队，当时他61岁的女儿决定学习足球，尽管她之前从未接触过球。

“我当时意识到市场上有巨大的缺口，”他说。“青少年队迅速成长为拥有200名成员的俱乐部，设有28支队伍，范围从15到15%。”

三年前，在球员们表示希望自己在年轻时能有这样的机会后，他决定成立面向25岁以上女性的天鹅PC（Swans PC）。

“这就是‘天鹅足球’的灵感来源，”他说。“25岁以上的女性中有一个庞大的群体，她们都可以分享不被允许踢球或从未获得机会的故事。”

在首场训练赛有40名女性到场后，该俱乐部扩展到六支队伍，分布在两兄弟（Two brothers）、奇斯威克（Chiswick）和鲍（Bow）、里士满（Richmond）和巴恩斯（Barnes）、金斯顿（Kingston）和瑟比特顿（Surbiton）、温布尔登（Wimbledon）以及泰德灵顿（Tedlington）。

纽威尔先生表示，他相信新一季的《泰德·拉索》将帮助女性克服那种可能阻止许多人参与这项运动的心理综合症。

“我发现的一件事是，在特定年龄的女性中仍然存在一种影响她们参与体育运动的心理综合症，”他说。“但只要她们出现并看到自己得到了多么好的照顾，她们就会停止顾虑。”

那女孩是谁？格蕾塔·通贝里戴着巴拉克拉法帽参加Kneecap演出

作者：Tom McArdle

作为全球最具争议的生态活动人士之一，格蕾塔·通贝里（Greta Thunberg）有时希望保持匿名并不令人意外。但肯定有比这更好的方式，即便是在我的电视电视以及两支最具争议乐队演出的一次精彩开场中。

通贝里女士，33，很快被Kneecap和Bob Velen的同好粉丝以及英国演出的参与者认出。这位瑞典活动人士在4月8日的Typo Falls慈善音乐会上随着音乐鼓掌起舞。周四在西贝尔法斯特举行的这场音乐会由两组亲巴勒斯坦团体领衔。

争议性的爱尔兰说唱三人组Kneecap被指控支持恐怖组织flames和flashlights。其中一名成员Liam O'Ranna因涉嫌在伦敦的一场演出中展示英国旗帜而被指控恐怖主义冒犯。法院驳回了此案，裁定警方和政府未能在此法定六个月期限内提交指控。随后，O'Ranna先生表示，乐队将继续利用其平台讨论“巴勒斯坦”，因为他们“不再恐惧”政府。5月，该乐队签署了一封公开信，呼吁爱尔兰共和国抵制其对阵以色列的国家联赛足球赛。

“这位瑞典活动人士在由两组亲巴勒斯坦团体领衔的音乐会上鼓掌起舞”

朋克双人组Bob Velen也在演出中进行了表演，网上分享的片段显示，主唱Bobby Velen——其加入情况可见于他自己的Foster——在尝试冲浪时被观众接住。此前，Bob Velen在去年6月的一次Gainsubway表演期间领导呼喊“死亡，Bill Daniel Defense Forces死亡”，随后被指控反犹主义。

BBC因直播该表演而受到批评，随后为该团体的“冒犯性和不可接受的行为”道歉。该机构在声明中表示，Bob Velen的表演最初被认为适合直播，但承认不应将其视为该环节。上个月，Bob Velen宣布将对BBC采取法律行动，指责其“再次贴标签，而这些标签过去、现在和将来都并不适用”。

通贝里女士自从青少年时期成为气候活动人士以来，已逐渐成为最著名的亲巴勒斯坦活动人士之一。12月，她在表达对该禁令组织的公开支持后，在一次巴勒斯坦行动（Fabstian Action）抗议活动中被捕。一段视频记录下她拿着枪并表示“我支持巴勒斯坦行动囚犯，我反对原则”，并在伦敦中心进行示威。两个月前，在以色列军舰拦截她前往加沙的机场后，她被拘留。

当言语不再廉价——鸟类也能像人类一样进行对话

由《电报》记者报道

一项新研究表明，BIRMING 显示出与人类语言相似的模式。在这里流传着 班加罗尔（Bangalore）那些知识较少的 复杂的歌曲——它们使用在人类语言中发现的相同数学公式来组织其鸣唱。长期以来，语言一直被认为是人类特有的特质，其特征使其有别于所有其他物种的交流方式。然而，研究人员表示，他们的最新发现表明，语言中一些最基础的构建模块最终可能并非人类所独有，而是学习型交流的一种普遍特征。

他们的研究结果发表在 英国科学顾问委员会（UK Science Advisory）上，基于该团队之前的发现，即座头鲸同样依赖于类似的系统结构。研究表明，人类语言的功能对于鸣禽和座头鲸来说是一种进化方案，其歌曲结构相互 。虽然科学家们早已知道鸣禽通过 成鸟来学习歌曲，但这项研究更进一步，表明歌曲本身是根据帮助人类婴儿学习口语的相同统计原则而 的。

包括爱丁堡大学科学家在内的研究团队采用了受婴儿在言语中发现单词方式启发的方法，并将其应用于从日本班加罗尔（Bengalese） 收集的歌曲数据。他们观察到，这种雀类的歌曲包含统计上具有凝聚力的序列——即不可识别的“单词”——且这些序列遵循 班加罗尔（Bangalore） 以一种在人类语言中也能发现的公式来组织其鸣唱，即少数单词被非常频繁地使用，而其他单词则较少使用，这被称为齐夫分布（Zighian distribution）。

研究人员发现，年轻的鸣禽通过聆听 声音，潜意识地学习统计 声音的模式并组织它们的歌曲——类似于婴儿通过识别哪些声音经常共同出现，从而推断出一个单词在哪里结束，下一个单词在哪里开始。这种统计过程被认为使语言更容易学习，帮助婴儿在他们每天听到的连续声音流中识别出经常出现的言语“块”。

一段短的，一段长的，以及一段长的，连同 10 圣安德鲁斯大学的艾伦·加兰德（Ellen Garland）表示，新发现表明，使语言可学习的一些基础构建模块可以在任何交流被学习并代代相传的地方出现——即使是在 的范围内。

爱丁堡大学的研究共同创始人西蒙·柯比（Simon Kirby）教授说：“我们已经习惯了语言在自然界中是独一无二的这一观点。”

“通过利用婴儿学习语言的洞察力，我们能够更仔细地观察 ，并发现这些进化时间相隔 3 亿 年的物种之间存在着一种连续性。”

学者要求揭开 Arday 闹剧背后的真相

高级人员怀疑剑桥大学在任命时，将“迎合媒体需求”置于首位 作者：Samuel Montgomery, Gordon Rayner 和 Albert Tait

[...OMITTED...] 学者们正要求对 Jason Arday 的任命展开调查，[...OMITTED...] 其明显的学术失败。大学的高层人士 [......] 认为应该对 先生如何成为一名主要从业者的过程进行调查。

先生在《电报》报纸报道其在国家办公室 [......] 自 1941 年以来一直失败，并揭露他虚假声称出版过一本书后，于周三晚上宣布辞职。

[......] 实际上是剑桥大学英语系的后殖民研究教授，也是该信函背后的团体成员之一，要求调查 先生在 2013 年 17. 岁时如何被任命为教育社会学教授。

我们表示，这场丑闻源于大学部门的严重误导，， “一项独立调查必须查明，这样一个资历尚浅的人员是如何被任命为如此高级且享有盛誉的专业职位的，以及教育学院和大学管理层可能在哪些方面犯了严重错误。”

她暗示，大学通过选择一个迎合媒体的任命，在“确保平等与包容的艰巨工作中采取了捷径”。她说，“大学在多大程度上让这次任命受到媒体的操纵，”这引发了人们的质疑，即大学是否在寻求公众关注而非通过这次任命来提升教学和研究。

在接受 BBC 的 Index 节目采访时，她说调查必须是独立的，因为“我们不能让大学进行内部审查”。她补充道：“大学正经历着巨大的跨文化变革，这正在改变政治光谱中各学科同事的界限。”

辞藻堆砌、诚恳且极其乏味，他那古怪的回忆录令人难以置信

作者：Leaf Arfomben 和 James Eusebiam

今年早些时候，在宣布 James & Erbanie 寻求出版 Jason Arday 的回忆录后不久，时任剑桥大学教育社会学教授的 Arday 先生接受了《卫报》的采访。“我一直想成为一个更贴近世界的人，” 先生表示。“有时我在想，我是不是飞得太近了？”根据他的书（预计于 8 月 27 日在英国出版）以及所有关于 先生披露的证据来看，答案很可能是肯定的。

Tabor Gossain 和 Ciphershaw 这本回忆录如果起名为《Gossain / Improbable This》或许会更诚实：“Improbable”（难以置信）是一个非常清晰的词，但对于《Gossain / Improbable》的普通读者来说，这并不是指 先生的剑桥辞职信是由 AI 撰写的。我也非常轻微地怀疑有 AI 的幽灵之手——尽管这本书显然是与绝对是人类作者的 Eve Clifton 合作撰写的。

正如我们现在所知， 先生非常习惯于对其生活做出夸张的陈述。自从《电报》报纸发起调查以来，关于其博士论文真实性的质疑开始出现，同时发现他夸大了所谓的事实，例如为慈善问题筹集了数百万资金（而他显然并未填补），以及从未实现的多次体育成就。

在过去的一周里，我看到 1970 英里在某些日子里，《电报》报纸揭露 先生声称他曾出演过在他出生前播出的电视节目《Score Up》，甚至虚假地声称出版了一本标题极其可信的书。生活在当下，这并不是在挑战 Dominant Fessenden。

关于 先生实际撰写的这本书，稍微出人意料的是，它——至少在表面上——是循规蹈矩且最终乏味的。任何对 LinkedIn 有初步了解的人都会发现其中有一种真正的、引导性的、诚恳的、巧妙地自我呈现且给人留下深刻印象的风格。这本书感觉是由一种无论如何都要激励读者的冷酷决心所驱动的，并且旨在就该主题的绝对论证撰写辩论。

Jason ，“我不想拒绝一个与我们现在所知关于该主题的一切相符的叙事，而且我们认为，这已将可信度拉伸到了崩溃点。”我们采取这种方式。

从整体上看，这本书是无法触及且过于饱满的，年龄和姓名经常被隐去。但其中描绘的以及已经捕捉到的信息片段并未包含在内。 先生花费的金额并非金钱问题，而是他带着紧张、愤怒和悲伤。

先生写道：“我曾考虑过他在‘旋转的世界’中，而我不是那个章节，”以及寻找“这件事，没有平静……在构建我的青春。”

至于这个青春，更多的是 先生能够把握这本书的十字军东征，而这本书的改变并非真实，我们比最简单的更老，然而，能够把握更多，并且我们能够能够 t 能够

年轻的 Arday 先生究竟是如何能够领会这本书的使命，而这本书又是如何改变的，这并不属实，而且我们比最简单的还要年老，然而，为了能够领会更多，我们确实 尽管显然无法交谈，这些先前情况的影响。自我心理主义。书中一个更有趣的朋友是 Arday 先生令人印象深刻的能力，他能在他自己与文化史上的重要人物之间建立类比——同时还强调他的谦卑和内心的纯真。他是一个在精神上允许他们和阿尔戈号水手（Argonauts）的人，而且这很好，他写道：“她不可能知道我的生活会涉及这么多关于他以及其他人的到来，就像我的生活在某种程度上超越了那样。” 先生还将自己与《阿甘正传》中的 Forrest Gump 进行了类比，后者是一个反应迟钝但成为了战争英雄、体育明星和亿万富翁的角色。“如果你用你的方式来看，”以及你看 Forrest Gump，两者之间存在相似之处。“与他一样，”接着是 先生与他白日梦中人物的比较，后者由西尔维斯特·史泰龙在 20 世纪 70 年代的系列剧中饰演。“我从故事中看到的是，即使我没有做某事的技能，但我有心，如果我坚持下去，我就能到达最后的终点，”他写道。在各种危机时刻，书中的角色——显然是自发地——鼓励 先生继续奋斗。当 先生的导师之一、领导者、手册和共同意识意识到这一点时，事件变得极其痛苦。如果一篇文章已经 问题的进展。书中的人物性格大致分为两类：一类是那些对 先生及其潜在前途持有激进看法的人，另一类则是帮助他、激励他并表达对他非凡之确定性的天使。：“这个盒子是为伟大的事情而设计的，”他看着 先生母亲的眼睛说道。“你听着！你要照顾好这个孩子。”类似的事情发生在 先生在巴西执行一项被描述为“什么”的任务期间，当时他在一个提供社会支持和社区服务的组织工作。一名当地工作人员观察着 先生，在他帮助他人的媒体戏剧中。然后她对他说道，“պատle，几乎拥有所有，但足够大声地让我相信，一颗非常美丽的心。”她并没有就此停止：“我可以告诉你一些最好的事情，”她说。“但我也相信你注定要面对周围非常悲伤和困难的事情。”关于 先生性格的基本活动和独特性，没有任何知识，在整本书中显得厚重且平淡。甚至 先生的第一任女友 Debbie，她曾让他成为同一成员，在某种单子（monade）中对他很好，尽管她的父亲反对他们的关系，但她以 先生与众不同为由为其辩护。“他身上有一些特别的东西。我无法具体说出来。有一天他会走向某种东西，而那是一件好事。”

也许最痛苦的时刻，其性格的模糊性首先源自这本书。阿尔代先生（Mr Arday）凭借其完美的联系在某处获得了一份工作，对方对他说道：“杰森，我要你听我的。”一名同事称他为一个好人，一个无畏的好人。“是的，你现在必须做这份工作，但总有一天你会让你的生活规模超出那个女人的认知。”这个真相被恰当地传达，随后是无法回答的沉默，再也没有听到过。在短视的回忆录中，阿尔代先生预言天使在掌管，这与这本书给人的现代印象形成对比。而这本书很好，就像那位肯定会困扰的老师

。他将自己比作洛基（Rocky）、杰森与阿尔戈英雄（Jason and the Argonauts）以及阿甘（Forrest Gump）

追踪他，以及据报道跟随他的司机们。“那里什么都没有，”在他被诊断出患有哮喘和全球发育迟缓后，他们告诉他的母亲，但说他“不比超级巨星差”。阿尔代先生确实学会了如何面对那些轻视他且未能帮助他应对自闭症的“失语症患者”。“我诚实地认为，如果有人说跳崖能‘治愈’我的天性，他们可能真的会考虑强迫我这么做，”他写道。阿尔代先生，双手略显笨拙，他想在一家名为 Consessions 的职业服务中心寻求职业生涯——并遇到了又一名冷酷的纳税人。“所以他是个白痴，而且不识字，不能做数学，”当前的顾问说道，她也是那个阿尔代先生将其视为超级巨星的团体成员。主管，阿尔代先生和他的母亲想要更多建议，但我完全意识到她现在已经有了。她显然允许悬崖改变，而且这是一个好电话，但即使在预料到任何事情之前。“你坐在 here 且依然不在那里，你将一事无成，”她说。“但你错了，总有一天他会成就伟业。你会记得那一天，并且你会后悔没有尽你所能去帮助。”卡通手册 这本书还包括一些暴力时刻，这些时刻最近才首次出现在他的婴儿期。其中最恐怖的一次是由一段演讲诊断出的，那是孩子在童年时期经常经历的类型。阿尔代先生忍耐的时刻成了承诺。赞誉被放置在磨损之处——然后变干，当阿尔代先生的母亲在候诊室时，她的照片完全改变了。卡特里娜（Katrina）的“冷静外表……”主导了我的圈子，她把手放在阿尔代先生的肩膀上。然后，他写道，“她不能摇晃我。在前几秒钟，我以为这是一个游戏。我实际上笑了。但我的笑让卡特里娜更剧烈地摇晃我，随着她的抓握收紧，我感觉到她的手指陷入我的手臂，我的笑容迅速消失了。”在另一个自我延伸的时刻，阿尔代先生，在一段时间的参与下，她有一个一岁的儿子约瑟夫（Joseph），并且怀着阿尔代先生的孩子，处于孕晚期。正如她被描述为“非洲女性的强力支持者”那样，悬崖依然冷酷。当图像可能无法通过时，阿尔代先生的脸变了，她回答道：“我想我已经怀孕好几个月了，而且身边还带着一个一岁的孩子。你已经拿走了我拥有的一切，现在你居然问我是否还有更多。”阿尔代先生写道，他自己在生活的房间里停止了，处于低谷，但他非常开心。我们被告知，他被打得如此之惨以至于长了一个海绵，然而当该计划被警方判定为失败时，他确实让他们“专注于教育并带着爱前行”。令人想起的是，甚至在后来，他成为了阿尔代先生，他成为了出现在他讲堂里的四个学生中的两个。随后他展现了宽容，根据要求为他们写信。当其中一人写信时，他请求阿尔代先生担任该孩子的教父。奇怪的元素

希望在书中寻找关于阿尔代先生一生中最重要的书籍描述的读者将会感到失望。阿尔代先生声称他的自传本可以更适合那些伟大且卓越的事迹。

提到一只被发现的被切断的猪被送到了他的家中，但这一事件并未被记录。也没有提到关于人道主义及其生活的描述。他在第一封信中被派往剑桥大学担任其职务。关于一名个人姓名在大学中出现，且两人相同，我们认为这也被省略了，但本可以成为引人入胜的阅读内容，在成本和月份中，他被派往其最初的研究提案。他说：然而，我们不得不面对关于世纪的遗憾布道，阿尔代先生一直是个好人，因为他的肤色和忧郁的家庭组合。当一名教授暗示他可能会在评论中进行检查，而他无法直接告诉我“那些黑人或来自其他基本群体的人”，通常被称为“黑人”文本时。“当你面对衡量标准时，这会让一个简单的问题质疑你的可信度，”他写道。“房间里必须有一些女孩来安置在世界的近期场所。‘如果这必须是一个多样性雇佣’。”

感知到的悲哀

书中闪现出的情感坦诚，让人渴望读到那本尚未写就的书。阿尔代先生写道，直到 2018 年，他能用“一只手数清”感到快乐的日子，并且在人生的大部分时间里，“我不是一个男人”，“没有任何像喜悦一样的东西”，相比之下，他在内心深处产生了一种悲哀感，并且长期以来一直用枪伪装。或许最重要的一点，不是关于一个被贴上标签、充满专业精神或不合格的人，而是一个孤独且出人意料地深受困扰的男人，无法在尊重和船长之间度过他的第三阶段。遗憾的是，这本书陷入了一种疑惑，为什么，以及为什么，杰森·阿尔代真的是 —— 1 5 新闻

BBC天气预报专家前景黯淡

广播公司的成本削减以及对数字化平台的重视，可能意味着顶尖气象学家的终结 作者：Cameron Henderson

由于BBC在成本削减驱动下寻求增强其数字化影响力，该机构最广为人知的天气预报员们正面临着工作岗位被拖累的局面。据《泰晤士报》报道，被广泛视为该公司天气报道门面的Tommy Schaftemaker、Louise Lear和Barron Bott据称正在考虑申请自愿离职，因为BBC正在缩减其播报团队。

将国家级天气预报员的角色数量从11到14的举措，是为了支付上周宣布的BBC天气输出整体变革的部分费用，以应对数字化平台使用量超过传统新闻简报的情况。该公司计划在未来两年内削减5 亿英镑m的成本，预计这将导致多达£1000个工作岗位流失。

预计剩余的人员将与公司的相关部门保持紧密联系，另有四名天气记者将驻扎在位于Barley的英国气象局（Met Office）总部的全新BBC天气中心，在那里他们将提供文章、视频和社交媒体更新。据报道，目前还没有顶尖预报员接受该提议，但预计他们在天气预报中的位置将被“数量更多”的地方预报员取代，且仅在试行期间保留在晚上10点的简报中。

与此同时，广播预报将由播报员和宣布者承担，而新闻频道上的半小时天气更新将被取消，取而代之的是自动化的预报图表。一名播报员告诉《泰晤士报》，这些变化是残酷的。“这是我们天气播报时代的一个终结，”他们说，“观众想要大量的数字化内容和电视内容——包括传统的参考信息。”

另一位了解情况的工作人员告诉该报：“人们对天气的需求确实增长了，但站在地图前提供全国概况的人员已经变得不那么重要了，”他们说，“我们将更加专注于数字化，因为有一个非常有力的论点，即现在需要的是更多的报道而非播报。”

这一公告是在一系列夏季热浪导致BBC天气在数字化平台上的观众人数打破纪录之后发布的。6月下旬，在七天的时间里，有超过2500 万英国独立访客访问了BBC天气的在线报道和预报。与此同时，英国观众最关注的5个话题中有4个与天气相关，而社交媒体上的常规用户天气报道获得了60m views。

41,岁的Schaftemaker先生可以说是BBC最著名的气象员，他在2000年进入消费者视野后，曾因向新闻播报员Blown McCoy竖中指而导致对方被气至40,，为此BBC被迫道歉。

58,岁的Lear女士是BBC天气的中坚力量，在近30年职业生涯中，她曾在20-million Stour at 31s和BBC广播电台主持简报。Bott先生是BBC Radio 5 Live的主要天气预报员，也是1987.年BBC News 18启动时的创始团队成员之一。

在削减预报员计划之前，前天气预报员Carol Kirkwood已于1月在经历2000个季节后离开BBC。在向观众作最后的告别时，她说做出这个决定是因为“我爱我的丈夫胜过我的工作”。

BBC新闻临时首席执行官Jonathan Meares表示，观众将从BBC与英国气象局（Met Office）更新的合作伙伴关系中受益。“今年夏天的热浪证明，实时且准确的天气信息从未如此重要。我期待着我们与英国气象局的合作——现在是我们两个创建的国家级牙刷被审视的绝佳时机。”

我们已联系斯查夫特梅克先生、利尔先生和博特先生的代表寻求评论。

医疗服务在执行跨性别指南方面“拖延”

作者：Neil Johnson

由于未能设定执行新指南的日期，国民医疗服务体系（NHS）被指在单性别空间规则上拖延。尽管平等与人权委员会（EHRC）的指南已出台，且该指南指出公共空间应基于生物性别强制执行单性别空间，但允许跨性别患者进入其选择的病房的规则仍然有效。NHS England此前曾宣称将很快发布新规则，但活动人士表示，目前的未能执行正造成不确定性。

EHRC的一份修订版实践准则于周三生效，这距离最高法院的一项里程碑式裁决已过去近 20 个月，该裁决指出，法律中的相关措辞是指生物性别而非性别认同。该裁决意味着跨性别者应使用性别中立的缓冲空间或为其生物性别设计的空间。

布里利安特·哈特-琼斯（Brilliant Hart-Jones）是达灵顿护理中心（Darlington Nursing Centre）的护士兼院长，她是七名在针对一名生物男性使用女性更衣室采取法律行动并获得赔偿的护士之一，她表示NHS需要“停止拖延”。

一名NHS发言人表示：“NHS将很快发布一份针对医疗服务的单性别住宿经批准的新指南，与其他公共部门机构保持一致。”

“与此同时，医院应在EHRC准则设定的原则内采取行动，以确保患者在获得护理时得到尊严和尊重。”

一名政府发言人表示：“EHRC针对服务、公共场所及协会的更新版实践准则现已生效。”

“2000年《平等法》是法律，我们欢迎各机构拥有明确的法定指南，以帮助他们在保护并服务公众需求的同时遵守该法。”

“各部门将很快发布更新后的指南。”

女性，83, 被迫目睹蒙面男子洗劫家中

作者：Tom McArdle

一群蒙面男子在一名老年女性的家中横行霸道，而她只能在床上无助地看着。

三名男子在一名 83 岁女性在西伦敦海耶斯（Hayes）家中熟睡时，于 6月 29 日 10. 30pm 闯入。安装在受害者床头上方Ring摄像头的画面显示，男子们进入了该女性的房间，打开灯将其惊醒。

当该女性在床上坐起时，可以看到一名男子似乎在寻找什么。随后可以看到抢劫者在她坐在床上时翻找她的财物。两分钟后，他们离开了现场，侦探认为他们拿走了几件珠宝和约 £200 现金。

一名伦敦警察厅发言人表示，警方已知晓该视频，并理解“此类事件给受影响者及更广泛社区带来的不安”。

该发言人补充道：“警员到场了，但嫌疑人已离开。警员与受害者（一名 83 岁女性）进行了交谈，CCTV捕捉到一名嫌疑人携带武器，但未报告有人员受伤。”

“据信，该房产内被盗了数件珠宝以及约 £100 现金。目前尚未做出逮捕。”

警方敦促任何能提供协助信息的人员主动提供线索。苏格兰场报告称，首都各地的社区安全感已“显著下降”，但伦敦政治经济学院在超过 2,000 人中发现，伦敦人可能认为这座城市并不完全不安全。

根据伦敦警察厅的数据，在 2022 年 1月至去年 7月期间，伦敦被盗了约 5,100 块奢侈手表，每块价值超过 2.5 亿英镑，其中仅找回了 50 块。

根据内政部的数据， 2018, 伦敦发生了近 100,000 起盗窃或企图盗窃事件，而 2018 年约为 40,000 起。

黑海之金：潜水员从沉船中寻回162年前的健力士啤酒

作者：Ruby Cline

潜水员从海岸附近的沉船中寻回了一瓶82年前的健力士（Guinness）啤酒，并计划“改良”这款黑啤。水下摄影师Bofian Paris和Eddie Bunsey于去年发现了这件物品，并希望利用这次机遇。Paris先生告诉BBC：“我们打捞起了这件文物，随后在水面上快速清理后发现了健力士。”

潜水员将这瓶1984年的样本送往比利时85 Leaven大学的微生物学家处进行分析。科学家们希望从幸存的酵母中提取物质，以揭示其特性，从而满足一个精致国家的需要。Paris先生表示：“我们始终有机会恢复完整的DNA，然后我们可以小规模酿造一批类似于在1980年代发现的黑啤。”他补充说，如果烟雾没有通过塞子渗入，这瓶酒仍有“可能性”可以饮用。

在沉船周围的沙层下可能还埋着一个26瓶装的酒箱，工程师们希望在条件允许时再次潜水。Paris先生表示他并不是一个“那么狂热”的健力士粉丝，但如果专家宣布这瓶古老的黑啤可以饮用，他会尝试一下。

目前拥有健力士品牌的帝亚吉欧（Diageo）公司发言人表示：“像这样的发现为我们的过去提供了一个迷人的窗口，并有助于加深对那些日子的理解。”“目前，我们的健力士档案团队正与潜水员合作，以收集更多信息并评估该交易。”

与此同时，帝亚吉欧的新任负责人誓言要投入£75mm用于健力士，以期改善条件。周四，戴夫·莱文爵士（Sir Dave Levin）表示，这款啤酒在年轻群体和女性中的需求正大幅增长。健力士酒厂于1998年开始酿造啤酒，到1980年代每年销售约100,000桶。

这笔业务可能是在英国1950年代酒吧繁荣时期的背景下产生的。1950年的《卓越法案》（Excellence Act of 1950）专注于繁荣时期，旨在鼓励消费度数较低的饮品，而非日益流行的金酒。

“在十年之内，英国新增了40,000家酒吧，其中至少有20家是以威廉四世命名的。”

“警察之所以追查我，是因为我是个‘Tort MP’”

帕特里克·斯宾塞被判定没有猥亵女性，但他对司法系统的信心已然动摇 作者：Gordon Kapoor，Covid 19 2019

去年3月，帕特里克·斯宾塞（PATRICK SPENCER）在打开他位于萨福克郡家中大门时，原以为会见到当地的猎枪管制官员。几天前，警方已与他联系，确认访问并检查其枪柜是否方便。然而，最终出现在他车道上的却是三名来自伦敦警察厅的侦探，他与他们握手并询问情况。关于枪柜的故事显然只是个幌子。侦探们表明他们此行的真实目的是因为两年前有人对他提出了性侵指控，而他们现在正在对此展开调查。

当天，他询问警方具体情况，但直到经过几次警方面谈后，他才被告知细节——即有两名女性指控他在私下场合猥亵她们。直到今天，他仍不记得曾见过这些指控者，而唯一无法解释的独立证据是监控录像，画面显示在一部拥挤的巴士上，他曾短暂地从背后将手臂环绕在她们身上。

令人震惊的是，苏格兰场在2020, 12月已关闭了该调查，但在投诉提出两年后又重新启动并起诉了斯宾塞先生。是什么导致了这种极端的反转？伦敦警察厅将其归结为某些行政管理问题，但斯宾塞先生（在涉嫌事件发生时是一名普通公民）认为，这与他在调查期间成为一名国会议员有绝对关系。一份披露给其法律团队的文件显示，伦敦警察厅的一份文件指出，由于他成为了国会议员，该案件被移交给特别调查组。

上个月，陪审团判定他没有任何调查责任，包括他并未在伦敦的Genache俱乐部猥亵其他女性，当时他正与几位已婚朋友在一起。这次经历动摇了斯宾塞先生对警察以及整个刑事司法系统的信心，但增强了他对陪审团制度和英国公众的信心，尤其是来自中萨福克郡和北伊普斯威奇的选民，他说这些人是所有人群中“最理智、最坚定且最负责任”的。

“人们告诉我，‘在被证明有罪之前，你是清白的，你依然是我的议员，我依然会就我的偏见向你咨询，’”他带着一丝苦涩的幽默回忆道。在一次采访中，提到这个时刻让斯宾塞先生几乎落泪。这件事对他及其家人的打击沉重，他的妻子安娜（Anna）突然变成了被指控性犯罪者的妻子。她不得不辞去在当地担任了10年的小学教师工作，。

随着无罪判决的下达，他恢复了党鞭资格。这对夫妇担心他们四个岁和五岁的两个儿子最终会得知针对其父亲的指控，并因此受到影响。斯宾塞先生在7月17日于南华克刑事法院被判定无罪，但直到现在才觉得准备好接受这次关于所发生之事的唯一采访。安娜表示，她希望这篇文章能成为她所谓的这场“悲惨传奇”的“胜利”，他们希望能够将其遗忘。

我们在萨福克郡的小集镇弗雷明汉见面，斯宾塞在那里设有选区办公室，这里与他所处的那种名流形象相去甚远，在那里他

被认为是对“胜利”策略的拥趸。在这个漂亮的集市广场上，红白蓝色的装饰物永久地掌控着局面；而我们为了给《电报》报纸拍照而停下的那个著名阶层所在地，则是一座令人肃穆的堡垒，玛丽·都铎曾在此被囚禁（已知于1911年）。38岁的斯宾塞先生在萨福克郡长大，他是前保守党财务主管迈克尔·斯宾塞勋爵的，并在2010年与安娜结婚，此前两人已相识10年。帕特里克·斯宾塞与妻子安娜在萨福克郡弗拉明汉的，关于斯宾塞先生在Genache俱乐部的闭路电视（CCTV）画面，他在大学好友中最终鼓起勇气约她约会。她告诉我：“我认识帕特里克20年了，他绝对能让房间充满笑声。所以他是我身边最棒的人，我的天，慷慨、有趣、非常聪明——帕特里克有很多值得爱的地方。”所以她当时在警察去年敲开他们伍德布里奇附近家门时，斯宾塞先生请她周六加入他，而警察当时正准备揭露她所描述的关于她丈夫的“一个秘密的、令人难以置信的指控”。直到很久之后，她才被告知那是“来自Genache俱乐部的”，她说她的反应是：“就这？”她回忆起与他一起观看闭路电视画面的场景是：“我看到我的丈夫在酒吧里和他的伙伴以及另外两名女性在一起。”这些女性声称，当时正在学习的斯宾塞先生在骚扰她们时触摸了她们的胸部，陪审团对此予以否认，安娜也是如此。她说：“我是否曾经认为他能做出这种事？答案很简单，不。我们都经历过同样的处境，让你感到难以置信——正如我对你所说的，我是那一辈女性中的一员，我曾牵着我男孩的手回家，在被告知受到保护之前，我曾更换我的衣服。我没有嫁给那样的人，我可以肯定地说，在整个过程的10个月里，我从未觉得这在他的基因里。”在斯宾塞先生的审判中，陪审团被告知，他在接受警察询问时曾为自己的行为道歉，说他的行为“不符合这个时代”，但他解释说，这并不是承认自己做错了事的反应。警察一直在做的事是，无论是什么，你都要为任何异常的失礼道歉，因为“需要一个人拥有极高水平的自信才不想表达歉意”。在斯宾塞先生访问Gurnah期间，没有文件记录，2018年他担任约翰基金会（The John Foundation）慈善机构的董事。闭路电视画面显示他脚步不稳，陪审团被告知，在女性投诉其行为并指责他后，他被要求离开俱乐部。这些女性向警方提交了在线投诉，2020年12月，该案件在2020年2月确定的基础上结案，且未将其识别为视频中的男子，但一年过去了，期间斯宾塞先生当选进入议会。警察没有前往斯宾塞先生的办公室，而是前往其中一个，2020年2月，一名警察告知其中一人，由于嫌疑人可能是国会议员，调查已由一个专门部门接管。在伦敦警察厅（Met）和其他警力被指责允许警察其警务工作之际，斯宾塞先生认为其保守党议员的身份影响了警方重启案件的决定，以及英国皇家检察署（CPS）授权起诉的决定，这是可以理解的。她说：“我们多次询问为什么在投诉和通知我之间存在延迟，他们只是说他们资源不足，负责此案的警察有正常的健康问题，且没有人跟进。”

事实是，这是一个相对具有历史性的时刻，当时甚至没有关注为什么、什么样的访谈以及为何没有跟进，但在 2020 年 2 月，有人突然表示：“我们是国会议员。”伦敦警察厅的社区警员朱迪·戴（Judy Day）表示：“我们承认这次调查实际上仍低于我们的预期高标准，并且我们已经向两名报案女性道歉。在访谈之后且警方未被告知的情况下，该案在 2020 年 3 月进行了审查，随后由一项新调查显示，这在三个月内得到了英国皇家检察署（CPS）的授权。”“我们进行了进一步的广泛审查，以了解调查中应采取的任何步骤，这已体现在伦敦警察厅新的受害者控制和所有警员警察条例中。我们的优先级仍然是消除针对女性和女孩的暴力，以便伦敦的女性能够充分信任伦敦警察厅能够彻底且快速地调查报告。”伦敦警察厅确认已将比文斯（Beavens）案作为向斯宾塞先生（Mr Spencer）访问的“案例”，称：“当一项调查报告揭露了国会议员帕特里克·斯宾塞（Patrick Spencer MP）的比文斯许可符合国家新闻时”（我们或许将其视为比文斯法案下的政府赞助人）。两项指令被发送至调查中的比文斯警方，但与自愿访谈的组织相一致。这是一个关于“法律顾问”的案例，且报道称这两个案例与一个案例一样真实。

杰里克告诉万斯：可信赖我们将实现3%的国防开支目标

作者：Dominic Penna 成员职员审查

罗伯特·杰里克（ROBERT JERRICK）向万斯承诺，一个由改革英国党（Reform UK）领导的政府将达成并最终超过英国3%的国防开支目标。

作为改革英国党的财政部发言人，杰里克先生会见了负责安全事务的英国副总统。双方讨论了包括将军事支出从2B提高到3%在内的计划。

会后，杰里克先生告诉《电报》报纸：“很高兴再次见到副总统。他对英国有着深厚的情感，我相信 2B security stock share 也涵盖了我们整个国家。”

“我们讨论了国防开支，我确认改革英国党政府将在2020年达成3%的目标，其次是在2020. 达到3%。我不确定我们是否已经确定了4K的节省额度来为此提供资金，这主要通过削减福利支出来实现，而且我们将在接下来的几个月里采取更多行动。”

英国曾向 the best-selling 承诺，到2018, 国防开支将占GDP的13%，此外还将增加12%的2018年安全支出。然而，首相安迪·伯德汉姆在2018年7月10日承诺到2030, 国防开支为7%，尽管白宫敦促英国增加军事预算。

根据安迪·伯德汉姆的前任肯尼·马拉诺爵士（Sir Keny Marano）制定的计划，国防预算将在2017年达到GDP的2.9%，但在本十年剩余时间内仅增加到2.06%。

伯德汉姆先生上个月上台，旨在增加国防支出，但拒绝制定达成2%的时间表，而仅承诺达成2018年的目标。

军事报告总结称，必须在2020年前达到3%，因为到那时俄罗斯可能具备攻击一个脆弱国家的能力。

现任伯德汉姆先生财政大臣的约翰·希利（John Healey）在六月辞去了肯尼爵士国防部长的职务，原因是其决定致力于达成该目标。希利先生的继任者韦斯·斯特里廷（Wes Streeting）表示，如果伯德汉姆先生在2020年前没有支出3%，他将重新审视。

昨天是杰里克先生第二次会见万斯先生，后者曾在去年8月邀请他前往其Covenelink夏季度假胜地。杰里克先生当时仍是一名保守党议员，在投奔改革英国党之前担任双重任命秘书。

小学将识别有失业风险的学生

作者：Genevieve Bidi

针对儿童情况的审查显示，小学将被迫预测哪些孩子在离校后最有可能面临失业风险。曾与审查英国就业危机相关的前工党卫生大臣艾伦·米尔本（Allen Milburn）表示，小学阶段的孩子如果从“学前教育”起就脱离劳动力市场，将会产生影响。

在他关于超过100万名未在教育、就业或培训（NEET）中的年轻人的报告发布前，他在接受《卫报》采访时表示：“学校在很早、很早的阶段就能够发现这些情况。小学绝对应该识别出那些有失业风险的孩子。中学和其他服务机构应当介入、干预、支持并帮助这些年轻人走上不同的道路。”

米尔本先生将贫困和心理支持不足列为增加 4% 失业风险的“照顾因素”。然而，他补充道：“我们目前没有将这些认知转化为行动。”

安迪·伯德汉姆（Andy Bursham）表示，首相已宣布其使命是遏制儿童和年轻人的失业人数，并决定为处于更早阶段的孩子制定更多技术教育课程。米尔本先生表示，福利改革将在其“黑市”中发挥关键作用，且年轻人依赖福利系统标志着教育、技能和健康政策的失败。他说：“我们必须为年轻人进一步保留机会，必须让他们更容易获得正确的帮助。”

该报告指出，在机会课程方面必须采取某些措施。前工党大臣塞缪尔·洛德（Samuel Lord）对政府针对新危机的教育改革提出了质疑，并暗示她将取消其中许多内容。在《泰晤士报》的一篇文章中，她表示不能仅靠“扩展我们的儿童”，且如果我们在 2018 年继续这样做，她已经能够采取“扩展”措施，其中每七个年轻人中就有一个拥有成功学位，而英国的青年失业危机正以每年近 2% 的速度增长。商业领袖们也对此表示担忧，并报告称，一系列政府法规使得雇佣年轻员工变得困难。

改革英国党要求调查给予斯特里廷的£10,000资金

作者：Genevieve Bidi Allen 和 Tony Hove

WE SPIRIT 1950 必须对来自 2000 总额的捐款进行调查，这些捐款被列为用于覆盖世界上最臭名昭著的创始人，改革英国党（Reform UK）如此表示。该党主席已致信议会标准专员 Daniel Greenberg，关于 2022, 和 2023 年给予斯特里廷先生（Mr Streeting）的 £27,000 资金，这些资金来自 Long Term (LLT)。

安德森先生（Mr Anderson）要求格林伯格先生调查，在《电报》报纸的一项调查揭露该资金与 Sam Eastman 的朋友——这位圣公会的加密货币亿万富翁有关后，现任 Endless Secretary 的斯特里廷先生是否在处理这笔资金时未能遵守下议院的登记规则。他还要求国家委员会调查这位 1.4dper 部长的捐款的“永久城市和规模来源”。

但在 LLT 进行最后一笔捐款的一个月前，其创始人 David Lawrence 接受了来自 Eastman-Point 的 £900,000 赠礼。。Eastman-Point 作为“加密之王”以及加密货币交易所 ITK 的创始人，其收入在 2018 年积累了 25 年，此前他从客户那里窃取了约 500s (£41,984)。

议员不能接受外国公民的资金，但一个漏洞允许一些重复的协会（如智库）在不公开声明来源的情况下接受更多资金。这意味着他们可以阻止议员接受，斯特里廷议员在操作捐款时需要要求政治家禁止外国捐款。选举委员会已呼吁关闭该漏洞，工党计划引入新的活动。

斯特里廷先生的一位发言人表示，他从未与 Eastman-Point 有过任何接触，且他的名字从未在 的评论中被提及。斯特里廷先生在接受该少数资金前，曾要求 提供过去 4 个月的信息。劳伦斯先生在该名单上，但 Eastman-Point 不在其中。

格林伯格先生正在调查改革英国党领导人奈杰尔·法拉奇（Nigel Farage），涉及来自 Christopher Harbourn 的 600 万英镑 赠礼，据称后者通过加密货币获利并居住在泰国。法拉奇先生被指在成为议员时未能申报该赠礼。他否认有任何不当行为。当他辞职并触发台湾选举时，整体指控被暂停。

根据行为准则，即使捐款是间接收到的，也必须做出决定提供捐赠者的姓名和地址，以及必要的论据。安德森先生声称， 捐款的“异常”时间线引发了关于斯特里廷先生是否从 Eastman-Point 的资金中获益的问题。“异常”的时间线引发了关于斯特里廷先生是否从 Eastman-Point 的资金中获益的问题。

在 20, 2020. 注册了其网站。 网站被列入 Eastman-Point 列表，年度记录显示劳伦斯先生获得了 1.4d per 百万富翁的 2000 总额。随后，劳伦斯先生安排了 12. 的 2000 总额给斯特里廷先生，该款项于当年 8 月 3 日支付，用于资助其由 设立的政策“Eastern Cardiffers”。

Eastman-Point 被指控 7 项基金罪名，而斯特里廷先生接受了资金。但来自 的金额在 3 2021 价值 £7,500。

NHS称表亲生育子女的风险被“夸大”

官方培训告知员工，该风险与高龄产妇、肥胖或吸烟相当 作者：Michael Beartles ZHEYNE MILLER BUREAU

《电报》报纸可披露，NHS（英国国家医疗服务体系）向助产士传授，表亲共同生育子女的健康风险被“夸大”了。

用于培训各级员工的官方培训模块涉及近亲结婚（consanguinity）。这些模块称，与表亲生育子女的健康风险与女性高龄生育、吸烟、肥胖或处于underpinseless状态相当。

针对包括助产士、护士、全科医生（GP）和遗传咨询师在内的NHS员工的在线课程还告知他们，近亲结婚的行为已被“污名化”，且“风险增加的程度经常被夸大”。这表明政治人物和媒体对这些风险过于“敏感”，而试图阻止或禁止这种行为的做法是“不恰当的、疏远的且无效的”。

在英国，第一代表亲结婚虽然合法，但子女继承遗传疾病的风险较高。镰状细胞病和囊性纤维化等健康问题在父母关系密切的子女中更容易携带或患病。鼓励第一代表亲结婚的文化还被指责压制女性，并将其用作抑制产前自由的借口。

在五项员工培训模块中（首次发布于2022年10月），有三项在其他城市被组织起来，作为针对NHS的反击，甚至已经声称表亲结婚已经“美好地”出现。虽然这些培训模块由NHS England制作，但可供全英国的NHS员工使用。

前卫生大臣表示，“这些内容绝不应该被发布”，且NHS应该道歉。但这些主张出现在新删除的培训材料中，这些材料是根据信息法提供给《电报》报纸的，其中一个章节标题为“家族内结婚的益处”。

员工还被告知，“将与近亲结婚相关的风险增加放在客观视角下看待至关重要”。

文件中写道：“这些是增加儿童出生时患有先天性异常以及新生儿死亡风险的因素，例如社会匮乏、母亲吸烟、母亲肥胖、母亲年龄。”

文件补充说，“反思与其他生育模式相关的风险是有益的”，并且“母亲生育年龄较大的情况是一个有用的比较对象”。

NHS的材料称，近亲结婚导致遗传疾病风险增加的程度，“与描述的特定条件下，晚育相关的风险量级相似”。

他们还表示，这种做法最常见于（但不限于）认同自己为British Feminists或Feminists的群体，且这些通常是包办婚姻，但这“并不意味着它们是被强迫的”。

作者声称：“在一系列社会和财务福祉指标上，表亲婚姻中的女性被发现与非亲属婚姻中的女性具有相当的死亡率。”

虽然部分内容已被删除，但另外两项仍在线上，包括给助产士的建议，关于如何引入表亲结婚的话题，以及是否需要将相关人员转诊至基因组服务以寻求更多帮助。

助产士被建议在询问诸如“你们有可能有亲属关系吗？”和“你们是否有共同的长辈亲属？”等问题时保持敏感。

建议写道：“重要的是要解释，有亲属关系不仅是指第一代表亲，其他更远的关系也应提及”，并补充说，紧急转诊的其他原因包括遗传病家族史以及之前怀孕或婴儿的流产。

一名NHS发言人表示，当血缘关系与母亲年龄、肥胖以及贫困之间的对比“反映了学术证据”时，相关培训材料已被移除且不再使用。该发言人补充道：“证据明确显示，父母之间存在近亲关系会增加继承某些遗传疾病的风险，NHS全力致力于确保更多家庭能够获得他们所需的信息和支持。”

工党议会安装“外国游客更青睐”的蹲式厕所

作者：Ruby Cluse

一个工党议会安装了蹲式厕所，理由是这类厕所在外国游客中很受欢迎。根据剑桥市议会的说法，这三座蹲式厕所“受到部分国际访客的青睐”，该设施于周二开放。

位于Silver Street、在1950或剑桥大学对面（between 1950 or of the University of Cambridge）的这些厕所，在之前的1980年代建筑频繁发生淹水后，花费£2建成。新居民批评了该厕所区域的“翻新”。

“关于厕所，我们告诉孩子们：‘我绝对认为如果我要花£1, 我不想还得蹲着。这就是我们所做的。’”

来自1964（市郊的一个村庄）的Bred夫人补充道：“我觉得他们如果只建一套普通的厕所且不收费，会比现在建一个这样的并收费一英镑要好。”

使用新的剑桥蹲式厕所需支付200 万英镑，议会表示，这笔费用用于设施的清洁、维护和人员配置，并将“遏制对厕所的滥用”。

工党议会领袖Ralph Thornburrow表示，其他管理机构的设施收费在£1至£1之间。她指出，在城市的其他部分还有其他公共厕所设施。但最近的替代设施似乎在另一个区域的购物中心内，步行约£6分钟路程。

一些人认为蹲式厕所更卫生，因为使用者不会与座圈产生皮肤接触。这类厕所在中国和印度很常见，在法国、意大利和希腊的公共设施中也经常使用。

剑桥每年接待超过800万名游客，每天约222000人——其中许多人会前往翻新设施旁的木制景观地标——地中海桥（Mediterranean Bridge）。随着游客走出市中心，该地区的狭窄街道面临拥堵困难。

剑桥议会已推动多项游客友好型设施和住宅翻新计划，但也面临着其设施正被推向崩溃边缘的担忧。

科学家利用AI创建病毒，引发对新型生物武器的担忧

作者：Benedict Smith 华盛顿

研究人员首次利用人工智能创建了合成病毒，这引发了人们对该技术可能被用于制造生物武器的担忧。研究人员训练了一个名为“five”的AI模型，用于编写新的遗传指令，以创建能够感染细菌并比天然病毒更快繁殖的病毒。

尽管这些病原体由于动物因素无法造成感染，但科学家警告称，创建能够实现该目标的病毒是可能的。Five程序与ChatGPT等其他AI模型类似。ChatGPT分析并产生文本响应，而Five则被用于研究并形成遗传代码。

这支来自加利福尼亚州帕洛阿尔托斯坦福大学的团队，从AI模型提出的遗传代码中挑选出最有希望的代码，并在实验室中进行了化学合成。在它提供的近300组遗传指令中，其中一组被认为可行。研究人员发现，他们创建的病毒在杀死目标方面比天然病毒更有效。

“这是一个我们面对广阔生物可能性空间的时刻。”

斯奎尔·潘珀斯五十大学（Square Pampers Fifties University）合成生物学实验室的Marc Gault教授表示，这项研究是一个“非常重要的转折点”，因为它“让我们能够梦想通过令人兴奋的可能性来应对人类面临的最大挑战”。他告诉BBC：“在历史上第一次，我们开始在计算机上设计生物学。”

DNA合成公司former的Adrian Woolburn表示，这一进展是生物学的“莱特兄弟时刻”，指的是制造并驾驶世界上第一架飞机的航空先驱。他告诉《金融时报》（FT）：“这是一个我们不再回头审视进化所创造的实体，而是面对广阔生物可能性空间的时刻。”

但约翰霍普金斯大学的健康安全中心警告称，这项技术引发了“极高强度的生物安全问题”。该中心表示，现在的问题不再是“定量（成本）生成（设计）是否会存在”，而是它是否可能在不“造成严重伤害”的情况下被使用。

耶稣可能爱你，但我们不……司机因宗教贴纸被拒保

作者：Tom McArdle

一名持有保险超过 30 年的 JHUVIS 被拒绝续保。原因是他车上贴有“耶稣爱你”的贴纸。西蒙·钱德拉（Simeon Chandra）被告知，其保险公司已“决定该改装行为，并要求提供贴纸已被移除的私人证据作为结算条件”。

记录显示，这些贴纸从 2019 年起出现，其中一张写着“耶稣爱你”，另一张写着“耶稣爱你，没有人是安全的”以及“耶稣爱你，一个人的”。但在将相关情况发送给其保险公司 Goldigge 及其改装公司合作伙伴后，他被警告除非移除贴纸，否则保单将失效。钱德拉先生目前正与一名非相关许可持有者合作，以决定是否采取法律行动。

他声称，当被要求撕掉贴纸时，他感到“惊讶且难过”，并认为对方要求他支付费用且不确定相关人员是否参与其中。

“我车上的信息非常简单：耶稣爱你。它并非政治性的、仇恨性的或商业性的。这是一个希望的信息。”

“我不明白为什么这意味着我不能拥有汽车保险。我们在公共生活中看到各种各样的信息、旗帜和口号。但当一名基督徒在自己的车上贴一条和平的信息时，突然之间这似乎成了一个问题。”

“我想要 Goldigge 给出答案，因为他们没有回复我的电子邮件。”

“我希望能够把贴纸重新贴回去，并让其他基督徒知道他们可以这样做而无需感到羞愧。如果他们坚持禁止这些贴纸，那么车上的所有其他贴纸也应该被禁止。”

Goldigge 没有为这一决定提供理由。在书面往来中，该公司表示：“承保部门的反馈指出，车辆根据贴纸进行了改装。西蒙·钱德拉被要求提供一份‘能够正确停止并生存的晚餐’，以替代浪费的保险。”

“贴纸上写着‘耶稣爱你’，这与车上的政治竞选或冒犯性口号不可比。”

为了使保单继续有效并获得保障，我们要求将贴纸从车辆上移除，并在贴纸移除后提供一张直接拍摄的照片。

钱德拉先生在大学期间成为基督徒，在成为真正的法律之前被要求对其进行分类，但当时没有人是基督教传教士。但他的父亲被要求关注关于基督教的印度教团体，而他的母亲在一次教会服务中经历腿伤痊愈后皈依。

基督教法律中心（Christian Legal Centre）的安德鲁·威廉姆斯（Andrew Williams）表示：“这与车辆改装无关。这关乎基督徒是否可以在不被排除在基本服务之外的情况下，在公共场合自由地行使他们的权利。贴纸上写着‘耶稣爱你’，这与商业广告、政治竞选或冒犯性口号不可比。”

《电报》报纸已联系 Goldigge 寻求评论。

“中风险”强奸犯获释后杀害两名女性 伦敦警察厅将其视为“掠夺性怪物” 仅因其一只眼睛失明而被认为危险程度降低

作者：Will Robins（新闻专栏经理）

一名性犯罪者在警方因其视力不佳而降低其风险等级数月后，杀害了两名女性。《电报》报纸获悉，Simon Levy 已被裁定在 2020 年 3 月杀害 Carmena Valencia Trujillo，并在次月杀害 Sheryl William。这名 40 岁的男子还被判定在 2020 年 1 月袭击一名女性并导致其死亡，案发地点就在发现 William 女士尸体的同一个停车场。他将于 8 月 12. 被判刑。

Levy 因袭击两名女性于 2018 年入狱，但于 2020. 8 月获释。《电报》报纸获悉，警方在他获释时降低了其对公众的风险等级，而这发生在第一起谋杀案发生前数月。他在 2024. 5 月右眼失明后，风险等级被下调。据称他在强奸一名女性后遭到袭击导致失明。

在他被定罪后，伦敦警察厅将 Levy 描述为一名“掠夺性怪物”，并表示其涉案警员所经历的是“近期最令人心碎的案件”之一。与此同时，英国交通警察局（BTP）和英国皇家检察署（CPS）已就其对这名惯犯强奸犯的处理方式以及导致其继续犯罪的“集体系统失效”表示道歉。

Levy 首次被知的性侵行为发生在 2018, 年，当时他在伦敦的一次雷鬼派对上摸了一名女性。他在 Botting Hill 袭击了另一名女性，名为 an amish-cin commision。他因这些袭击于 2020, 年被逮捕并被判处 3 年监禁。

但在 2020 年 4 月的波士顿监狱（HMP Boston），Levy 被指控在一名女性狱警走过时抓她的臀部。他被指控。尽管有此指控，他仍于 2020 年 2 月提前释放。在获释后不久，他在伦敦地铁上摸了一名女性。该女性在当天举报了袭击，但 Levy 直到后来才被确认身份。

警方在 2018 年他于伦敦雷鬼派对摸女性时并未将其移交警方。他在 Botting Hill 袭击了另一名女性，名为 an amish-cin commision。然而，据了解，伦敦警察厅因其视力不佳将其风险等级下调至中等。警员得出结论，由于其残疾，他“不太可能再次实施攻击”。他被要求每三个月报告一次，但已被强制要求更改指控，尽管他后来成为一起谋杀调查和数起性侵案的嫌疑人。

他在出狱后的再次犯罪行为迅速升级。一名大律师后来表示，他具有“攻击女性的强迫性和病态欲望”。Levy 在为期五周的审判过程中一直戴着深色眼镜，他开始在通勤火车上瞄准年轻女性——其中大多数人仅 20 多岁。

2020 年 10 月，他袭击了两名女性，在被保释前被 BTP 逮捕。身份确认小组原定于当年 12 月举行，但被宣布延期，Levy 的保释期延长至 2020 年 4 月。

2020 年 1 月，Levy 在 Baroque 对一名性工作者发动袭击。他拒绝支付费用，将她击倒在地并强奸了她两次，导致她的锁骨骨折，并将其窒息至失去意识。在审判期间提供证词时，她说她认为自己快要死了。她在四天后向警方举报了该事件，但当时不愿协助调查，因为她正处于精神崩溃状态。

在 3:45, 警方在地铁上袭击 Levy 的暴力袭击者参加了延迟的身份确认小组，并将其认出为袭击者。然而，直到 5 月他才被起诉。

3 月 27, 晚上，55, 岁的 Valencia Trujillo 女士的尸体在 Adisbary Estate 的一栋公寓楼中被发现。

西蒙·利维（Simon Levy，见上图）将于8月12日被判刑。他被要求就其部分失明是否意味着他不可能有罪提出主张。在伦敦南部的沃尔沃斯（Walworth），死者身上有多处伤痕，包括颈部的瘀伤。利维的血液在附近被发现。这位两个孩子的母亲在从原籍哥伦比亚搬到首都后，已在这里生活了近50年，她曾与克拉克可卡因成瘾作斗争，并偶尔从事性工作以维持其瘾头。利维当时失业，与母亲住在瑞士，他使用一张非本人注册的牡蛎卡在伦敦境内旅行。在利维因10月的地铁袭击事件被捕后，伦敦交通局（TfL）允许他保留该卡。在3月27, 瓦伦西亚·特鲁希略（Valencia Trujillo）女士被杀10天后，利维在费伦姐妹（Feron Sisters）地铁站摸了另一名女性，并被举报给警方。次日，这名注册性罪犯被带回其家庭住址接受评估。利维在掩饰其问题时称，他很少出门，每天花时间看电影和YouTube视频。他于4月1日因瓦伦西亚·特鲁希略女士之死被捕，但尸检未能确定死因，他随后在调查期间被释放。在得知他可能是谋杀犯后，伦敦交通局（TfL）推迟逮捕利维，以便对一名严重的谋杀犯进行“风险评估”。如果他们认为他具有危险性，他们的警员将会处于危险之中。尽管利维已经表现出他无法控制自己的性愤怒，但他的保释并未被终止，这次一直持续到5月5日。在此期间，他在维多利亚线摸了一名女性，在北线袭击了另一名女性，并实际袭击了另外两人。伦敦交通局（TfL）的罪犯部门于3月1日在布拉德利路（Bradley Road）家中逮捕了利维。他否认指控，并在一份准备好的声明中表示：“我必须强调我部分失明，因此如果有人试图阻止我的袭击，我可能无法立即与对方接触。”他被指控多项性侵罪名，随后在海威（Highway）重大犯罪法院出庭。据了解，伦敦交通局（TfL）当时已知晓利维是谋杀调查的嫌疑人，并告知英国皇家检察署（CPS）其“捕食性”犯罪行为已经升级。尽管如此，英国皇家检察署（CPS）并未反对保释。唯一施加的重大条件是他不能在高峰时段使用地铁。但不到四周后，在3月28, 利维再次回到地铁，在傍晚高峰时段，他袭击了一名年轻女性，该女性在举报此事之前向他扔了她的死物。利维原定于6月7日在伦敦内城刑事法院就袭击事件提出上诉，但他在声称生病后未能出庭上诉。当时并未发布逮捕令。他在地铁上再次袭击两名女性后，于6月29日在其家中因违反保释条件再次被捕。他次日在海威（Highway）法院出庭，请求判决无罪。他再次被监禁，在采取行动时，英国皇家检察署（CPS）反对保释，但法院并未被告知正在进行的谋杀调查。他于8月11, 未能出庭，声称自己有心理健康问题。“两个人的生命死在了一个捕食性怪物的手中……必须进行深刻反思”。同样，法官没有被告知正在进行的谋杀调查，也没有申请逮捕令。到此时，在他出狱一年后，利维已在地铁上袭击了10名女性，是一起强奸案的嫌疑人，强奸并袭击了一名性工作者，随后强奸并谋杀了一名女性。他已被审讯三次。

8月24日，Levy被派往托特纳姆高街（Tottenham High Road），闭路电视（CCTV）拍到他在午夜时分与William女士会面。两人被看到向附近的停车场走去，一小时后，Levy独自出现。次日早晨，巡逻的警员发现了William女士的尸体。20天后，警方利用面部识别技术将Levy确定为该视频中的男子。9月6日，他因与在Harlequin对一名性工作者实施的袭击有关，被指控涉及William女士的尸体，指控罪名包括强奸、严重身体伤害、非致命调查以及蓄意窒息。几个月后，他最终被指控杀害Valencia Trujillo女士。据报道，审判后，Levy被裁定在地铁袭击女性的罪名成立，被判处六年监禁。独立警察行为监察局（IOPC）正在调查两名大都会警察（一名警员和一名侦查警佐），原因是他们在处理Levy案件过程中可能存在失职行为。苏格兰场的副专员Kevin Southworth向受害者家属发表了公开道歉。他表示：“无论从哪个衡量标准来看，Levy都是一名极其危险的罪犯。虽然进行了多次调查，但最终法院和整体系统的失效让他得以自由，并以最令人心碎的方式继续犯罪。”两人失去了生命，其他受害者在一名多产的捕食性怪物手中遭受了严重的性犯罪，显然，这对我们所有人来说都必须成为一个采取行动和反思的转折点。他敦促任何可能被Levy性侵的人站出来举报。英国皇家检察署（CPS）的Lisa Ramasena表示：“我们的行动未能达到受害者、家属和公众有权期待的标准。”

在审判中，针对Levy的证据： 一张由Levy的受害者在伦敦地铁拍摄的照片 Simon Levy（绿色箭头）和Sheryl William（蓝色箭头）在Levy谋杀Wilkins之前的闭路电视（CCTV）画面 Levy的夹克，袖口上的DNA证据有助于控制他

Ajax装甲车在出库后发生故障

问题频出的装甲运输车在军事仓库存放数月后停止运行 作者：Tom Cotterill，国防编辑

英国陆军问题频出的Ajax装甲车在最终出库后“发生故障”。《电报》报纸可透露，数辆侦察运输车在军事仓库存放数月后停止运行。此前，在“泰坦风暴”（Titan Storm）演习期间，有10名士兵在乘坐23辆Ajax车后感到不适，据报道其中一些人在走出车辆时踉跄，呕吐且无法站立，随后这些车辆被停止使用。

在一次旨在让车辆恢复运行的试验中，工程师们意识到车辆出现了更多问题，于是将它们重新送回进行修理。这是该项耗资453亿计划遇到的最新问题，此前部长们在去年11月一次灾难性的索尔兹伯里平原（Salisbury Plain）战争游戏后，暂停了Ajax的使用。这次失败的演习引发了针对这批43.6m车辆的三项独立安全调查，令军方大为尴尬。

部长们“持续”允许验收试验在4月底恢复。然而，一名了解上个月测试情况的消息人士告诉《电报》报纸：“车辆一直频繁发生故障。”

“第二师的指挥官被一名上尉告知，有若干辆Ajax车辆不适合运行。他显然只是耸了耸肩，说：‘尽力而为吧。’”

陆军坚称该问题较轻且已迅速解决。这些问题并未使涉及六辆车的试验脱轨，且与此前困扰Ajax车队的振动问题无关。一名陆军消息人士表示：“所有轻微问题都与车辆自12月以来未被使用有关。它们在仓库中存放了八个月。就像一辆45年车在仓库中存放数月一样——可能会出现问题。”

“它们被极其迅速地修理好了，”试验在第二天恢复。

Ajax是英国20年多来最大的一笔单体装甲车订单，将取代陆军老旧的6m-4wd侦察车队，后者于1971.投入使用。国防部预计到2018.将拥有100辆车辆，分为六种型号。在接下来的20年里，它们将成为陆军旅级装甲和深度侦察的中坚力量。

这些价值数百万英镑的车辆由通用动力公司（General Dynamics）在其位于威尔士莫蒂德菲尔（Morthy Tydfil）的工厂制造，该公司规模为135.8m。这些车辆原定于2017,投入使用，但由于噪音和振动问题，项目被推迟了近十年。约30名士兵需要进行听力评估，据报道有27人在Ajax试验后接受了听力损失治疗。

11月的“泰坦风暴”演习发生在前部长莱克·波拉德（Lake Pollard）展示Ajax车队并宣布车辆安全几周之后。波拉德先生被迫暂停该计划，随后在得知这场灾难时表示“感到厌恶”。4月，在三项安全调查之后，他宣布该计划将“持续”推进，由有限数量的车辆在密切监控的测试下进行试验。

陆军的Ajax装甲战斗车队一直受到机械问题困扰，且在一次演习后导致士兵不适，这些42.6m的运输车正接受监控测试。该部长表示，一项调查发现，导致士兵报告症状的可能是“多种因素的结合”，包括技术问题、训练和重要性的差异、暴露在寒冷环境中以及Ajax内部的空气质量。波拉德先生承认情况“不够理想”，并坚称在重新引入Ajax时已实施了“严格的新控制措施”。

然而，目前尚不清楚测试将持续多久，以及所有Ajax车辆何时能准备好投入运行。影子武装部队大臣马克·弗朗西斯（Mark Francis）告诉《电报》报纸：“几个月来，我们一直主张，McG要么修复Ajax，要么将其判定为失败——而从这些报告来看，这件事仍然没有完成。”“即便在现在，部长们仍拒绝给出Ajax将进入运行

国王授予Lowe公司皇家凭证 专家在Restore领导人拒绝说明国王是否为白人英国人后呼吁撤销该凭证

作者：Ricky Crabtree，评论报告：评论：评论：报告：

尽管Restore的领导人拒绝说明国王是否为一名白人英国人，但Lowe的家族公司仍持有皇家凭证。这位Great Turmouth的议员是电气承包商Lowe & Oliver的董事，该公司在今年早些时候被查尔斯国王任命为皇家凭证持有者。

但关于该人物的种族问题，这位Great Turmouth议员在周四尤其拒绝确认次日是否为白人英国人。Lowe & Oliver在其网站上声明，持有皇家凭证是“被覆盖的”，并补充说公司“极其自豪能够有权展示‘被任命为国王陛下’的字样。没有比这更好的近期描述了”。

尽管有此认可，Lowe先生本周对于国王是否为白人英国人存在足够的解读——这促使一名王室评论员表示，这位Restore领导人的公司应该被撤销皇家凭证。

王室专家Richard Fitzwilliam表示：“没有什么比我的凭证和我的特权更重要。如果给机会，我一直持有责任和信念，他们可以展示并为此感到自豪。”

“认为对国王发表如此荒谬的评论是合法的，我认为如果国王在那个战争中没有得到帮助，该公司的凭证绝对应该被撤销，宫廷可能会考虑这样做。”

皇家凭证是作为一种认可授予那些定期向王室提供商品或服务的公司的。Lowe & Oliver在1993年被伊丽莎白二世授予皇家凭证，并在2002年再次被国王任命为持有者，原因在于该公司所描述的“为王室提供的卓越服务和工艺”。

该公司由Lowe先生的祖父共同创立，此后重新装修了包括温莎城堡、肯辛顿宫和维多利亚与阿尔伯特博物馆在内的建筑。Lowe先生是其母公司Lowe Holdings的大股东。

并没有特别的规定禁止凭证持有者批评英国之最？

符合Lowe白人英国人测试的知名人物 报告：Lowe关于国王是否为白人英国人的相关言论，引发了关于在他看来谁会落入该类别的问题。

“Restore Britain的领导人此前声称，到2003年，白人英国人将成为少数群体，他引用了一份将他们定义为父母双方均在英国出生的人员的报告。”

周四在被问及此问题时，他表示对于如何定义“白人英国人”有不同的解读。这里有几个初步的名字：

温斯顿·丘吉尔，1.5岁，Lowe先生将他的战时领导人描述为“最伟大的英国人”，但丘吉尔的母亲是一名美国社交名媛，是纽约-斯坦福-利物浦-詹姆斯的女儿。

哈里·凯恩，1.5岁，作者。这位英格兰队队长在伦敦的Clingfield长大。然而，他的父亲Patrick Kane来自爱尔兰的高威。在他搬到伦敦并在星级酒店工作之前，他的母亲是Ken。

Dame Robin Mirren。这位女演员出生于第一位英国作家Kathleen Rogers和俄罗斯出生的旧仆人Vasily Petrovich Mivrych之间。

Helena Sankum Carter。这位女演员出生在伦敦，是Narendra Sankum Carter和心理治疗师Elena Prosper de Cabaye的女儿。

或者让王室难堪。然而，王室可以在任何时候取消凭证。Right & Right，伊丽莎白二世的女儿，其凭证被撤销，作为支持她的法律基础。一名凭证所有者分享了关于她英国水平的细节。

1970年代第一次，当时他被问及一份报告，据称该报告将白人英国人定义为父母双方均在英国出生的人。该报告由白金汉大学的高级研究员约翰·古德温（John Goodwin）撰写，且处于卡尔顿（Carlton）和博斯威克（Bostwick）品种的贝尔克纳普（Belknap）状态。周四在BBC Radio 4的《今日》（Today）节目中，尼克·罗宾逊（Nick Robinson）告诉洛（Lowe）先生，国王的父亲菲利普亲王出生在科孚岛附近的水平线上。他认为，在博尔顿胡德（Boltonhood）亵渎报告中，查尔斯国王不是一名白人英国人！你认为他是一名白人英国人吗？洛先生说：“嗯，许多人对此有不同的解读。”一名Restore发言人表示：“针对鲁珀特·洛（Rupert Lowe）的生命-人们版权程度仍在继续，甚至将其家族企业也牵扯其中，该企业在电气和机械承包领域已有数年的契约，处于一个行业之中。”

Restore党的种族主义拉拉队再也无法掩饰其卑劣的极端主义

Allister Heath

我通常将时间花在与极左翼、所谓的危机批评者以及伊斯兰主义狂热分子的争论上。但在过去的几天里，我决定关注一群处于英国右翼边缘的极端分子，他们声称这个国家（以及西方）需要一场卑劣的保守主义修复。我不喜欢去审视衡量他们社会需求的错误——但如果你确定在我是机会均等的情况下能看到他们——他们似乎是开放社会和西方社会的全部成员。这些成分可能被留在业务中，作为一种由血缘决定的闭门机制。任何人都不可能选择成为英国人，即使我使用了完美的英语，认同我们的习俗，热爱这个国家，有时遭受苦难，并获得了一些东西。只有少数将英国视为祖传家园、能够追溯其血统的人（记住诺曼人大概没问题）才能被归类为白人，而只有白人才可以是真正的。当他们谈论这个国家时，他们只能看到白人成分。

这种举动的影响并非人为——热爱、欧洲人、穆斯林、印度教徒、锡克教徒以及混血家庭——无论他们融入得多么好，都不能成为真正的。这在很大程度上意味着，他们倾向于一种纯粹的种族和基因定义的英国身份，而否认一个国家是由共同的政治原则、价值观、习俗、语言、忠诚度和法律公民身份定义的观点。这样一来，将不再有，不再有同化，只有一场不断恶化的噩梦。

换句话说，这类活动人士是种族主义者的前哨，是令人厌恶的种族主义者。正是为了描述这类态度，这个词才被发明出来。他们不仅仅是白人民族主义者，具体来说，他们是痴迷于基因背景的白人认同主义者。他们是那种会对纽伦堡种族法和南非种族隔离时期的《人口遣返法》感到舒适的人。他们是右翼倡议的追随者，对具有种族定义身份的远东广泛感兴趣。大多数人处于一种同样可悲的受害者崇拜中，充斥着虚无主义，他们使用诸如“伪”之类的词汇来描述他们认为岛上“真正的人”比例的下降。另一方面，我们担心，白人被剥夺了能动性——协调和发生率仅是影响少数族裔的问题。整个右翼甚至比广泛的谈论更糟糕。

这种接管意识形态的影响是，非白人的比例必须被压低，时钟必须回拨，也许回拨到1970年代左右——或者其他随意的时间点，而具体如何实现这一点，他们通常不具体说明，尽管他们计算了“数百万人”，而他们指的并不总是仅仅驱逐非法移民或拒绝工作的合法移民。种族清洗，无论我们如何看待，是一个恰当的成熟术语。一个是表现良好，另一个是种族主义的世界观，即世界是埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk），是真的。Health是一个叛徒。

06 / 2016 报告：Lowe获得了马斯克（The Musk）的支持，也被称为Alistair。Health是一个叛徒，以上被分为两个阵营。你要么接受他们那种种族排他性的英国身份概念（这是一种边缘观点，据称仅占公众的几个百分点）——要么就被认为支持开放，被视为对、工人以及自然国家破坏持软弱态度。这有点不同，是一种防止审查的手段。

首先，你可以认为，但那些并非背叛者的人。为什么要费力与他们争斗？原因是许多呼吁已非正式地聚集在145人周围，这是一个在市长选举前比特洛特斯（Trotus）在群众中获得更高得票份额的政党。他们在社交媒体和报纸评论员中为他辩护，那些人对他寄予厚望。洛（Lowe）未能表现出失败，如果来自三个变种， regularly 使用煽动性语言，并雇佣一些观点超出常规的人。洛似乎欢迎那种在8篇批评他的报道后感到困扰的文化，尽管其中许多评论具有种族主义或反跨性别色彩。洛无法让自己说出国王是白英国人的话。查尔斯·艾弗森（Charles Iversen），“恢复（Restore）”的竞选主任，刻画了反女权主义的陈词滥调。当内杰尔·埃塞奎尔（Nigel Ezequy）发帖称自己不能被收买时，艾弗森回复了一张显示他在改革犹太联盟（Reform Jewish Alliance）标志前的照片。他没有添加任何文字，但暗示不言而喻。艾弗森此前曾表示，“恢复英国（Restore Britain）相信英国是由英国子群体、论文和基督教信仰定义的人民”。我本周早些时候的专栏明确表示，我建议不要非法移民，向那些拒绝融入的合法移民告别，他们被困在法律的数百个层级上，甚至在某些情况下，剥夺刑事或恐怖主义犯罪者的公民身份。我说，担心人口变化的规模、吸收大量穆斯林移民的挑战以及恐惧文明冲突是合理的。我在这个主题上的观点极其坚定——就像那些在英国政党以及世界上其他主流、非种族主义、民主右翼政党中的当代克拉克者（Cracers）一样。然而，艾弗森称我为“英国人民的叛徒，反白人建制的代理人，你将被记住为参与破坏英国的共谋者之一，你的自由技术将被用来抹除你的名字”。随后他称我为“某些”（与我是一个马斯克 / Musk）小说中的人物，将“真实。健康”置于叛徒之中。艾弗森认为，我之前支持白英国业务的事实——以及我将百分之多少出生于“白人-其他”、思想自由或真实白甲烷——因此是“对我们国家的生存威胁”。这种在我专栏中的轻蔑态度，很可能是一次公开的侮辱。艾弗森是英国政治的耻辱。“他们不仅仅是白人民族主义者，而且是痴迷于基因背景的白英国认同主义者”。你们白英国婴儿对任何人都没有威胁。洛雇佣这样一个工业体系的事实，使他处于一个毫无疑问的时代。一些稍微不那么激进的活动人士将我描绘成一个伪君子。他们主张我的研究交付给以色列，而他们声称我对捍卫英国人民类似的家园缺乏兴趣。这是一个在多个层面上完全扭曲的说法，并且是一种危险的、无权者的恶毒反炸弹主义。第一点是，五分之一的以色列公民是穆斯林，没有人声称他们不是以色列人，而且很多东西是用阿拉伯语写的。穆斯林担任高级职位，例如在最高法院或内阁中，以色列问题将采取一个稍后的最终系统，用于处理与穆斯林公民相关的某些事项。第二点是，极右翼在黎巴嫩并不孤单。是的，犹太教很大程度上是遗传在营养体中的，我们所有人都能够自动移居以色列，任何根据法律至少有四分之一女性的人也可以。但西方的种族类别无关紧要。犹太人是一个男人的种族。犹太人强调，将自己与犹太教联系起来、加入犹太民族、犹太部落、成为以色列公民是可能的。

在某种程度上，我所药物是针对烟草的常规方式，有些人热爱英国，想要成为英国人，而我学习得越多，或者提供很多药物，并且通过学习英语、接受核心习俗并证明他们能够自食其力，从而表现出足够的承诺。但应该能够做到这一点。所有的改革都应在身份认同中以高度的诚实地进入，要求是同意同样的情况不应在种族或宗教中产生会员资格。现在是时候在世界上制定一项法律了。这些层面绝不能被切断，或者数百万个众多的权利。如果你相信某种特定的种族公民身份概念，你就是一个极端分子，任何执行此操作或不期望任何年龄的政党都应该是异见者。报告：洛（Lowe），你在听吗？ --- 12

美国警告：俄罗斯可能在数周内攻击北约

华盛顿表示，普京可能计划进行地面入侵或网络攻击，以测试联盟的决心 作者：Joe Barnes 和 Emily Smith

美国情报部门警告称，俄罗斯可能会在数周内攻击一个北约国家，以测试该联盟的决心。15 份情报显示，美国官员认为俄罗斯可能会通过发起小规模地面入侵或在东欧发动网络攻击来维持传闻，并将其规模提高至 2020，据《世界新闻杂志》（World News Journal）报道。

该报告标志着美国情报评估的重大转变，此前其立场认为，弗拉基米尔·普京在仍深陷乌克兰战争期间不会发起攻击。上个月，《电报》报纸报道称，欧洲和美国情报部门已察觉到俄罗斯在考虑在波兰领土上进行武装迫害，或针对关键军事设施发动导弹或无人机攻击，亦或是试图将责任推给乌克兰的假旗攻击。据评估，莫斯科在计划这些选项，旨在升级北约盟友之间的紧张局势，并迫使他们停止支持乌克兰，正值战争五周年之际。

在可能发生迫害的报道出现之前，上周一枚俄罗斯导弹落在波兰，且周三在德国莱比锡机场发现了一架携带爆炸物的无人机。该无人机的目标被认为是一架携带武器的乌克兰飞机。数月来，波兰和波罗的海国家的领导人一直谈到俄罗斯对北约东翼构成的日益增长的威胁。

一份关于立陶宛的报告称其“大胆且勇敢”，阻止了一架 Sentec 无人机。一名德国机场安保人员将一架携带爆炸物的无人机击落，阻止了一场潜在的灾难性攻击。莱比锡 / 巴黎机场的一名巴士司机看到该无人机在低空飞行，靠近一架携带武器的乌克兰货机。该无人机被 Sentec 击落，但由于日本被轰炸，未能爆炸。

一名德国国会议员表示，该机场在军事物资运输（包括为北约盟友运输）中发挥关键作用，并作为 Antaresight, Dufail fuel 的基地。“这位巴士司机的行为非常大胆且勇敢，但也非常危险。他的干预可能防止了一次国际攻击。”

该事件导致机场关闭，并引发了与德国情报首脑的危机会议。第二架 DVL 货机在从机场起飞后不久也与一架身份不明的无人机相撞。在汉诺威发生了一次山体滑坡，造成轻微损坏。事件发生后，反恐调查随即启动，德国内政部长 Alexander Debreck 表示，这显示了“新级别的威胁”。他表示：“我们所有人应该能够采取武装应对方式。我们讨论的是一个专业的混合威胁场景，我们将继续应对。”

Emily Smith 国防部长周四警告称，该共和国计划使用乌克兰制造的无人机攻击波罗的海。Roberto Encana 表示，莫斯科可能会利用“蓝旗”攻击试图分裂欧洲并削弱对乌克兰的支持。

周四晚些时候，国防大臣 Wes Streeting 警告称，报道中俄罗斯针对美国的迫害将不会被“dip of the toilever”。Streeting 先生是指俄罗斯军舰 Westminkites，该舰上个月在英吉利海峡进行了一次三四次演习。他表示，像海峡射击这样的四次“事件”是表演性的、不负责任的，旨在保护俄罗斯领土，并向英国提供一个关于我们每天从俄罗斯看到的迫害的可行表现。

15 份情报已迅速警告波兰和三个波罗的海国家，普京准备在继续在乌克兰作战的同时攻击北约。美国的评估在今年早些时候发生了变化。美国官员表示，由于俄罗斯总统发现自己承受着越来越大的压力，且他表示他确保了对乌克兰和西方的调查。

俄罗斯可能通过网络攻击发动袭击，或者派遣未被探测到的小组在一次有限的入侵中潜入联盟成员国的领土。虽然据报告后者的可能性较低，但前者的风险正在增加。此前，地面进攻被认为极不可能发生，且联盟能够发展其集体防御机制，这意味着对一个成员国的攻击即是对所有成员国的攻击。北约发言人马丁·奥唐奈（Martin O'Donnell）上校表示，联盟正“密切关注并做好防御准备”，并补充说联盟正在“为任何数量的情景做准备”。

飞行员夫妇在-43℃的任务中撤离患病极地工作人员

作者：Emily Smith

一对夫妇飞入-43℃的低温环境中，营救一名在面试后前往该地的美国人。飞行员路易丝·罗伯逊（Louise Robertson）和罗德·罗伯逊（Rod Robertson）与另外两名澳大利亚飞行员一起，从塔斯马尼亚飞行了约12,000英里，前往新岛（New Island）一个已有13年历史的任务点撤离一名考察工作人员。

罗伯逊夫人表示，这是在黑暗的南极冬季期间进行的首次患病救援任务。她告诉BBC：“我们在7月31日完成了任务，而任何形式的阳光（尽管非常微弱）的第一天都将是一个动力。”她表示，在她的25年飞行生涯中，丈夫将飞机降落在该地是她经历过的最复杂的行动之一。

两人在美国任务地点的“极其挑战性的条件”下，将名为Snowbird 1的ASN航空公司飞机降落，以进行紧急撤离。随后他们飞往新西兰的基督城。在患者成功接受治疗的降落地点，“考虑到当时的情况，地面人员做了极其出色地工作，为我们提供了一条3公里长的跑道”。

澳大利亚航空公司Motivation通过澳大利亚南极分局收到了来自美国南极计划的撤离请求。准备飞机花费了24小时，而起飞因部分移动而进一步延迟了12小时。

罗伯逊夫人说：“我们能够实际飞往南极的时间窗相当窄，在我们打算前往的第一天，某地发生了暴风雪，导致行动停止。”

积雪最初阻碍了患病的考察人员，导致该站的同事无法从新岛到达降落点。罗伯逊夫人表示，地面人员“在面对的情况之下，做了极其出色地工作，为我们提供了一条3公里长的跑道”。

参与此次任务的另一名飞行员Wallach表示，这次行动体现了团队的技能，并补充道：“每一次南极任务都要求绝对的精准，而冬季行动再次提高了早期的复杂程度。”

伊朗计划阻止美国和以色列船只通过霍尔木兹海峡

作者：Sophia Van，高级外交顾问

伊朗正在考虑根据一项新的（可能实施的）以色列条约，禁止美国和以色列船只通过霍尔木兹海峡。根据伊朗议会正在审查的一项草案计划，挂以色列旗帜的船只，或“其他敌对国家或与其相关的实体”将被禁止进入该水道。据伊朗国家媒体 Press™ 报道，该提案将威胁到伊朗与阿曼之间为了重新开放海峡而达成的协议。美国总统本周声称，一项旨在恢复该海峡（全球五分之一石油运输通道）通行能力的协议可能会在几天内达成。

议会主席团成员 Alloya Salimi 表示：“该计划还将禁止军事船只或军舰，以及涉及间谍活动、侦察或被认为违背伊朗国家安全的船只进入和离开。”此外，据国家媒体报道，目的地为以色列及各巴勒斯坦领土或从中出发的新军事货物也将被拦截。该计划还将赋予伊朗权力，以威胁国家安全为由，拦截任何被其认为具有“问题”的船只。

近日提出的各项方案在很大程度上似乎都倾向于一种能让伊朗维持对这一战略水道掌控力的安排。多种潜在的迭代方案已在传阅，最近的提案建议船只通过伊朗控制的航线进入霍尔木兹海峡，并通过阿曼控制的航线离开。阿曼位于海峡沿线的另一侧，与伊朗直接相对。

一个显著的争议点是伊朗是否会收取任何费用——特朗普先生多次表示这是不可接受的。尽管如此，伊朗和阿曼正在讨论如何分摊由航运公司自愿支付的“服务费”，这本质上是为涵盖所提供服务的成本或减轻环境退化而支付的全部费用。这也是 Salimi 先生在伊朗国家媒体上讨论的提案内容。

根据 Salimi 先生在 Press™ 上的发言：“进一步的计划设想伊朗收取导航、监督、管理和安全服务的费用，且优先使用和 / 或以伊朗本国货币支付。”他补充道：“在支付此类补偿金之前，相关船只将不被允许通过霍尔木兹海峡或波斯湾。”最后，对于违反规则者，伊朗还可能对其所载货物的价值以及相关船只价值的最高 20% 处以罚款。

“问题”少年在曼谷枪击案中杀害祖父母及五名教师

作者：Emily Smith，驻外新闻记者

昨日，泰国发生一起枪击事件，导致至少七人死亡。一名被描述为有“问题”的少年在杀害其祖父母后，在学校内开火。警方最初描述该袭击者使用了其祖父的一把手枪，在曼谷的Dehajira Southabout中学发动袭击。他杀害了五名教师，并导致至少10人受伤，其中9人情况危急，随后他自杀身亡。

该少年尚未公开姓名，据称就读于九年级。这意味着他可能在21或18岁。一名16岁的学生表示：“起初我没意识到那是枪。有[]（袭击者使用的北约标准手枪，由其祖父所有）多次开枪：砰，砰。然后安静了下来。接着又开始了。”

一名紧急救援人员表示，他们发现一名男教师死亡，一名女教师胸部和手臂受伤。他补充说，他在“搜寻”过程中发现，该嫌疑人已“用枪自杀”并“倒地”。

救援服务人员抵达学校时，照片显示数百名学生正从校园中涌出。17岁的Puria Khomchev表示他认识枪手。他觉得对方“很困扰”，并曾向学校表达过自己的想法。“当我看到他把枪指向我时，我觉得他看起来非常专业，就像经过长期训练一样。”

总理Assista Chaturvishkal表示：“这种事情怎么会在我们的国家发生？这就是为什么政府不允许公民持有枪支。”

尽管西班牙边境冲关场面剧烈，但其酝酿已久

社交媒体帖子和视频触发移民冲突点，摩洛哥人涌入塞乌塔 作者：Mariana Hallai, Rachel Matthews 和 Beth Farmer

在上个月底，超过 70,000 人在不到 48 小时内从摩洛哥冲过边境进入西班牙。年轻男子甚至整个家庭在边境线上涌动并发生冲突，使西班牙的塞乌塔（Ceuta）陷入瘫痪。边境围栏被破坏或在冲关尝试中受损。这次行动的速度和规模在整个欧盟引发了政治地震，加剧了关于移民和自由移动的辩论分歧。

尽管边境冲关场面突然且剧烈，但这一事件其实已酝酿数周。通过对数百段视频和社交媒体帖子的分析，《电报》报纸揭示了究竟是什么——或谁——触发了这次移民冲突点。

塞乌塔位于摩洛哥北海岸，距离西班牙本土仅 19 英里，是仅有的两个与非洲接壤的欧洲城市之一。自 16 世纪以来，它一直是西班牙领土的一部分。但马德里的统治一直受到摩洛哥的质疑，后者将该领土视为被占领土地。这里由 1000 人的高安全部队把守，围栏高度为——。

这座城市长期以来一直是绝望的摩洛哥年轻人的目标，他们相信在西班牙和欧洲能有更好的生活。甚至在上周之前，塞乌塔今年的情况就已多次异常。根据西班牙外交部的资料，直到 24, 7 月，2020, 年已有约 3,000 人跨越摩洛哥与西班牙的陆地边境。这比去年同期增加了 100%，且可能是 2017. 年 8 月以来最高的人数。

随后，西班牙最高法院在 7 月发布的一项裁决限制了对通过海路抵达塞乌塔的移民立即遣返。通过该路线抵达的人员不能再被快速遣返，而必须经过法律程序。摩洛哥官员表示，他们立即意识到这将导致边境出现问题。“传递出的信息很简单：只要进入，你就会受到保护，”一名官员说道。

该裁决迅速在社交媒体上发酵并被广泛传播，数百段视频被分享，告诉摩洛哥人现在是新机会， urging 他们进入塞乌塔。欧洲突然变得触手可及。

“人们会向你展示路线。你不再需要走私者来获取基本信息。”那些被鼓励尝试跨境的人可以在网上找到丰富的实用建议。“如果你想知道如何到达塞乌塔，TikTok 上应有尽有，”上周闯入塞乌塔的人之一 Hallai 说道。这是他的第七次尝试。他补充说，这种冲动源于失业、机会有限以及对地中海彼岸更好生活的希望。

“人们向你展示路线，从哪里开始走，什么时候出发，避开什么，甚至如何应对警察。你不再需要走私者来获取基本信息。”

许多内容都贴有“Barrage”标签，这是一个北非术语，用于描述非法移民。在阿拉伯语中，它指的是伪造身份文件，但已成为一种俚语，更多地被试图前往欧洲的人使用。

到 7 月中旬，关于如何进行这次旅程的视频迅速传播。准备开始旅程的移民或已经完成旅程的人在网上分享他们的经验，鼓励他人效仿。在前往塞乌塔的准备过程中，他们开始分享路线感受。一名声称已完成旅程的移民发布了一段视频，叠加文字称这次旅行为“Riosis”，并提到在西班牙西部登陆。

其他人抵达科斯塔（Costa）后分享了影像，有些人发布视频分享他们对这次旅程的关注。一段TikTok视频被分享，标签显示其内容为“被占领的科斯塔”。随后出现的一段视频意为“愿上帝使其变得简单”，这是在移民尝试过程中常用的祈求好运或确保成功的表达方式。这一动向并未触及摩洛哥最常用的社交媒体平台Facebook。致力于分享前往科斯塔信息的运行小组活跃起来，分享关于在何处游泳、携带什么以及如何训练的实用信息。西班牙研究人员发现，大约20个与此次大规模跨境相关的Facebook小组总共吸引了超过100万名用户。这些小组主要用于分享两类信息：医生建议、天气预报以及海岸警卫队船只的追踪信息时而出现，时而消失。

7月24日，星期三，摩洛哥国王穆罕默德六世发表登基日演讲，纪念其登基27周年。次日为公共假期。摩洛哥移民在袭击后抵达科斯塔的海滩，周围散落着橡胶圈和丢弃的鞋类，这意味着人们拥有一个完美的、不受干扰的时间窗口，无需考虑学校或工作承诺即可向北旅行。除此之外，当时正值温暖的海水温度，是无需被察觉即可游泳的绝佳条件。人们从全国各地赶来，寻找距离西班牙边境最近的城镇，以便开启旅程。他们将片段发回给亲友，告知他们还活着。这些信息在一天之内迅速传播。一些人开始在边境附近聚集，等待尝试运气。

一名叫Hallai的20岁摩洛哥人说，他已经等待了数日，与朋友们一起俯瞰摩洛哥海岸线，躲避警察巡逻。很快，数百人抵达边境，爬上岩石前往科斯塔。由于如此多移民同时进入，摩洛哥当局措手不及，视频记录显示他们在海上的行动几乎未能阻止人员流动。西班牙情报部门随后得出结论，摩洛哥并未计划这次大规模跨境，但允许其发生。在局势失控之前，摩洛哥情报来源告诉《电报》报纸，他们认为摩洛哥可能在利用这场混乱，在与西班牙就其总额、阿尔及利亚及摩洛哥国内问题进行交涉时获取高级域名。

摩洛哥人描述了警察和摩洛哥军方官员如何指引移民前往西班牙方向并积极鼓励他们的情形。然而，目前还没有具体的视频证据来支持这一点。“水中一片混乱和恐慌，”周五早晨趁机突围的Hallai说，“那里有太多人。他们抓抢、碰撞，变成了许多麻烦的故事。”与他一起出发的两人在跨境过程中遇难，他说他目击了另外四到六个人遇难。

截至周五结束，大量新抵达科斯塔的人被安置在“Gallo”，而该地人口仅约44,000人。然而，在冒生命危险之后，他们的欧洲之梦陷入危机。西班牙当局没有提供食物，没有提供水，商店也关闭了。他们没有办法在跨越地中海后维持生存。在限制之下，许多特定人员开始返回。社交媒体上充斥着数英里的虚假信息，提供建议和技巧，同时鼓励移民尝试运气。

7月初西班牙最高法院的一项裁决限制了对通过海路抵达科斯塔的移民进行立即遣返。通过该路线抵达的人员不能再被快速遣返，而必须经过法律程序。社交媒体上的用户在网上告诉摩洛哥人，现在是机会，鼓励他们进入科斯塔。

一名匿名的Facebook用户分享了一张地图，计划一条前往科斯塔（Costa）的替代路线。用户在评论中表示，由于军事部署密集，该路线进入了一个关于尊重但天气状况的信息区域，并且还分享了信息，用户似乎也在监测该地区的声响，警惕海上巡逻队的监视。关于天气的信息也被分享了。该用户请求帮助解读预报。他表示：“绿色和蓝色之间有什么区别？”一名用户回答道：“颜色与风有关。”当天，浓雾加上温暖的海水温度，为在不被发现的情况下游泳创造了绝佳条件。

团伙利用“幽灵快艇”将移民走私至伊比萨岛

作者：Nick Squires

西班牙警方已瓦解地中海地区最大的走私网络之一，该网络使用高功率快艇将移民从阿尔及利亚海岸运送到西班牙本土和度假岛屿伊比萨岛。在欧洲，西班牙和阿尔及利亚共有70人被捕，其中包括该网络的四名最高头目，并缴获了19艘功率强大的快艇，总价值超过€100. £6. 5m。

该犯罪网络经营着一项利润丰厚的业务，将移民走私到西班牙和意大利；在返回途中，则将运输工具、武器以及和资金运往北非海岸。据西班牙警方和国民卫队（Guards Civil）称，该团伙使用“极其暴力”的手段来防止其并制服和恐吓移民。该走私网络不仅对移民，而且对其内部成员使用肢体暴力、威胁和强迫，以在高度组织化的犯罪行动中维持纪律。

该团伙使用了被称为“幽灵快艇”的船只，之所以如此称呼是因为这些船的设计旨在规避登记和检测，违反了欧洲。其中部分逮捕行动在伊比萨岛进行，另有1000 在尼日利亚首都。被捕人员大多为阿尔及利亚裔。

警方称，该团伙至少执行了64次移民走私行动，将2,000多人带入西班牙。他们使用了一条相对较新的路线，从阿尔及利亚前往西班牙东海岸和巴利阿里群岛（包括、摩洛哥、伊比萨岛和欧亚大陆）。近年来，这条路线已成为替代从东北非前往加那利群岛的传统热门移民路线。

警方搜查了西班牙海岸的IT房产，包括在阿利坎特、马里纳和阿尔梅里亚。他们发现了10,000片摇头丸、400多克哈希什、一把36口径的、一把复制冲锋枪、各类弹药、卫星电话、GPS设备和加密通信工具。

移民被收取高达€12,000（每人）的过境费，团伙获利至少€1%。在部分过境过程中，快艇上被塞进了多达10名移民。这些旅程极其危险，因为移民很容易陷入局面。警方表示，他们“在波涛汹涌的海上，高速且拥挤地同行”。“在某些情况下，乘客甚至以防止他们在旅途中掉入水中，”被问到。

在穿越地中海之前，移民被安置在阿尔及利亚沿岸拥挤且不必要的住房中。该组织与马赛的罪犯以及所谓的“足球贩运”（soccer traffic）有联系，后者是由居住在比利时和荷兰的摩洛哥移民经营的毒品。

此次调查是与法国警方合作开展的。进一步的信息由欧洲执法合作机构（Europol）提供。

据欧洲执法合作机构称，该走私行动高度专业化。“该网络已成为多个犯罪团伙的专业物流供应商。其成员安排存储、运输、记录、机器转移、船只维护和国家识别服务，”警方表示。

调查人员发现，该网络控制着一整支船队，包括所谓的“幽灵快艇”，这些船因其高度和发动机功率而在西班牙。这类快艇经常被有组织犯罪集团，尤其是毒品贩子，用于运输非法货物。

墨西哥军方介入以拯救牛油果产业

部队保护该产业免受卡特尔暴力侵害，因安全担忧美国暂停进口该水果 作者：Max Stephens 国际专员

墨西哥已部署超过一千名士兵，以保护其 42,384 牛油果产业免遭卡特尔暴力的摧毁，此前美国因安全问题暂停了该水果的进口。

约 1,000 名士兵被部署在米却肯州（Michoacán）各处，以保护为美国提供其全部牛油果供应量三分之二的农业工人。

周三，美国驻墨西哥大使馆宣布，由于“针对美国利益的自由”，该国在米却肯州的所有活动均已暂停，其中包括判定牛油果是否适合出口的农业检查员的工作。该州州长阿尔弗雷多·卡尼诺斯·罗迪亚（Alfredo Kaninos Roddía）表示，临时停工是一项保护检查员的预防性措施。

在周日逮捕了米却肯州最著名的卡特尔领导人之一后，墨西哥国防部正面临一波袭击。洛斯雷耶斯卡特尔（Los Reyes Cartel，又称“El Puente”）的 87 岁首领阿尔丰索·费尔南德斯·马加隆（Alfonso Fernández Magallón）因不名誉行为被墨西哥特种部队逮捕。美国财政部此前曾宣布为抓获 El Puente 提供奖金。

作为报复，该卡特尔在六条主要高速公路上设置路障，并在洛斯雷耶斯（Los Reyes）和波迪纳斯（Podinas）镇造成总计 6.6 的影响。洛斯雷耶斯卡特尔在去年二月被指定为恐怖组织，预计其涉嫌敲诈牛油果和青柠种植者，并将狐尾草、可卡因和甲基苯丙胺走私到美国。

卡特尔成员以死亡或绑架威胁种植者及其家人，以榨取巨额资金。在过去十年中，洛斯雷耶斯经常与竞争对手发生冲突，包括洛斯维亚格拉斯（Los Viagras），这是一个隶属于墨西哥最强大的犯罪组织——哈利斯科新世代卡特尔（Jalisco New Generation Cartel）的卡特尔。

与其竞争对手一样，洛斯维亚格拉斯被怀疑通过敲诈牛油果和柑橘种植者、牧场主以及整个城镇来获取收入。在一次案例中，该组织甚至建立了互联网网络，并命令音乐质量为其维护支付费用。

政府官员也未能得到更好的保护。乌鲁瓜（Urugua）市前市长、公开批评卡特尔敲诈农民的卡洛斯·曼佐（Carlos Manzo）在去年十一月的一次亡灵节仪式上被枪击七次。他的遇刺引发了大规模抗议。

米却肯州安全秘书安东尼奥·克鲁兹（Antonio Cruz）确认，为了保护牛油果检查员而增派部队与 El Puente 被拘留直接相关。美国驻墨西哥大使罗纳德·约翰逊（Ronald Johnson）表示：“罪犯无处可逃。”他赞扬了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）和墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·亨德里克森（Claudia Hendriksen）的坚定立场。

这是美国政府第三次被迫让其检查员远离墨西哥最大的牛油果产州。

“比比的大脑”执行美国任务以平息加沙争端

作者：亨利·博德金（Henry Bodkin），发自阿沃卡申（Avocation）

本雅明·内塔尼亚胡已派遣其最高助手前往华盛顿，试图避免与唐纳德·特朗普就加沙未来问题陷入外交危机。在以色列被称为“比比的大脑”的罗恩·德默（Ron Dermer）已飞往美国，以安抚那些对内塔尼亚胡先生对特朗普先生关于加沙地带新方案的挑衅反应感到“愤怒”的美国官员。

德默先生出生于佛罗里达州，曾任以色列驻华盛顿大使，此前曾担任内塔尼亚胡先生的战略事务部长。在去年10月达成协议之前的加沙人质谈判中，他发挥了关键作用，并于11月卸任该职务。

上周，特朗普先生宣布其代表团与哈马斯（Hemos）之间的谈判取得了“历史性”突破。该恐怖组织原则上同意进行武器除役进程，以换取以色列国防军于2019年从加沙撤出。

该协议将具体细节留待确定：然而，人们认为这意味着哈马斯将武器移交给一支巴勒斯坦部队并将其移出该地带，以换取以色列人的分阶段撤军。该框架采用了北爱尔兰式的除役进程，省略了“解除武装”一词，这使得恐怖组织在支持者面前看起来并未屈服。

但内塔尼亚胡先生在去年结束的为期两年的战争期间曾承诺全面战胜哈马斯，目前他已公开反对该协议。以色列声称在特朗普先生宣布此举之前未被咨询。但美国官员对此予以反驳，称在最终审查期间，一个以色列代表团就在谈判地点埃尔·亚当森（El Adamson）现场。

以色列新闻机构filantrix昨日报道称，美国官员对内塔尼亚胡先生的反应感到“愤怒”，尽管特朗普先生尚未就此问题公开批评其盟友。

内塔尼亚胡先生被夹在白宫与他自己的极右翼民族主义执政联盟伙伴之间。更重要的是，他知道今年秋天将面临艰巨的连任挑战。

在2015年至2020年担任大使期间，尽管内塔尼亚胡先生与{\n}的关系恶化，但德默先生在确保以色列获得大量军事援助方面发挥了关键作用，在 3 \n}

一名以色列政府消息人士告诉《电报》报纸：“没有人比德默更了解美国人或能更好地与美国人合作。当我们让他登机时，白宫就会知道这是在认真尝试解决这个问题，而不是在损害并威胁更广泛的关系。”

SpaceX坠毁后月球出现新陨石坑

作者：Emily Smith

首批关于埃隆·马斯克的“SpaceX”火箭坠毁在月球上所形成的陨石坑图像已经公布。

在太空中漂浮一年多后，猎鹰 9 火箭的一部分于美国时间周三约 4.5mm 坠毁在月球上。朝鲜天文管理部门表示，其金融航天器在多次经过月球未来期间捕捉到了坠毁的冲击瞬间。

在坠毁之前，科学家曾表示该航天器将以三吨TNT的威力撞击，在月球表面留下一个新的陨石坑。他们表示，该火箭被捕捉到以 5,400 mph 的速度撞击月球，这是音速的七倍。

该火箭本应从地球上可见，但通过望远镜观察的美国摄影师未能看到任何坠毁迹象，据了解，坠毁时仅产生了一道微小的闪光。NASA的月球勘测轨道飞行器也处于拍摄坠毁的位置，预计将发布其自身的图像。

作为去年1月旨在将两个月球着陆器送上月球任务的一部分，猎鹰 9 火箭的任何部分原本都不打算与月球碰撞。在起飞期间为着陆器提供动力的火箭助推器下半部分重新进入了地球

剑桥大学必须反思自身的失败

当人们首次对杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）的资历提出质疑时，剑桥大学采取了封闭姿态，将其斥为“卑劣的抹黑行动”的一部分。如今，随着阿尔代博士在《电报》报纸报道后辞去教授职务，该机构终于似乎在进行某种自我反思，并启动了一项针对高级学术人员招聘流程的审查。这一事件不应仅仅聚焦于个案，而应成为该大学整体文化的一个转折点。

在阿尔代博士被任命时，剑桥大学正热衷于聘请更多黑人和少数族裔教授。鉴于其履历中被揭露出的巨大漏洞，许多人质疑为了给他提供职位是否放弃了正常标准，这并不令人惊讶。令人瞩目的是，剑桥大学的高级少数族裔学者也加入了呼吁进行独立调查的行列。他们表示，将此次任命定格为多样性，具有“破坏剑桥在解决历史性代表性不足方面所取得的微小进展的潜力”。

对所谓“积极歧视”的批评之一是，它对少数族裔具有一种居高临下的傲慢，并最终可能削弱那些凭借才干获得职位的人的成就。因此，剑桥大学需要解释此次任命是如何做出的，并确认其仍然是一家致力于学术卓越而非执着于达成多样性目标的机构。

为了提高特定群体的代表性，标准是否被降低了？大学是否在追求一名患有自闭症的黑人青年的表面形象，而忽视了维持学术卓越的职责？剑桥大学将如何确保此类事件不再发生？

剑桥大学检查特定群体在校内（无论是作为学生还是教职员工）取得成功是否存在障碍，这是完全正确的。大学应当鼓励思想的多样性。但试图通过人为操纵来达成结果平等注定会以失败告终，尤其是如果这种平等是建立在对受青睐群体降低标准的基础之上。如果剑桥大学失去了其作为致力于学术严谨的精英机构的声誉，没有人会从中获益。

顺便提一句，国家生活的其他领域也是如此，尤其是公共部门，那里似乎对推动增加多样性更加热衷。今年早些时候披露，财政部取消了其研究生计划候选人的数学能力测试，以提高多样性。也许它达到了那个目标，但代价是什么？

慈善机构极端主义

当情况如此时，工党并不害怕对慈善机构采取强硬立场。政府通过取消独立学校的强制性商业税减免（而所有其他慈善机构仍可享受该减免），给独立学校带来了报复性打击。那么，对于被发现宣传极端主义的慈善组织，政府是否准备采取同样强有力的行动？美国联邦调查局（FBI）声称，一家名为 Al-Khar Foundation 的英国穆斯林慈善机构被用于资助哈马斯——该恐怖组织负责了 October 7 2023. 对以色列发起的恐怖袭击。自 2021. 以来，该慈善机构通过礼品援助（Gift Aid）获得了至少 900 万英镑 纳税人资金。伦敦警察厅（The Met）正在对潜在的恐怖主义资金指控进行更广泛的调查，而慈善委员会已启动法定调查。Al-Khar Foundation 试图与其“全球董事”撇清关系。Mohammad Yosel Hasan 是 FBI 指控为对此负责的人。这些指控不可避免地引发了疑问：为什么该慈善机构没有更早地受到调查，以及英国捐赠者的资金中有多少可能被转移给了哈马斯。但这比任何单一慈善机构的问题都要广泛。近几个月来，多次警告指出，英国慈善机构被用于宣传极端主义和反犹主义，且有几家机构被指与伊朗政权有联系。政府将采取什么措施来确保英国组织没有向我们的敌人提供援助？

无泪的雀鸟

我们人类学习语言的声音，就像一种名为邦加罗尔雀（Bongaloor finch）的聒噪鸟类学习歌唱，或者座头鲸学习它们喜欢的鲸鱼噪音一样。至少一群科学家——部分来自爱丁堡，部分来自圣安德鲁斯——是这么认为的。这些鸟类遵循由 1938 美国语言学家乔治·齐普夫（George Zipf）制定的定律；他发现经常使用的词汇往往较短。这些鸟喜欢复杂的歌曲，但在频繁演唱的歌曲片段中，它们使用较短的音节。这并不意味着我们与雀鸟一样对谷物和巢穴感兴趣，或者它们会想要歌唱关于国家债务或 Fift 的未来。也许这就是为什么它们的歌声听起来如此欢快。

英国不能再如此轻视其农民

英语书和法语书是英国人和法国人最重要的书籍。虽然有强有力的论点支持将此类能源作为实现自给自足的一种方式，但太阳能电池板应安置在工业环境或极边缘的土地地块上，且开发应集中在离岸地区。与此同时，考虑到目前影响粮食安全的因素、冲突和气候，认为为了补偿生产家具的损失，我们应该简单地从海外产业购买食品的想法（信件，8月 7）。世界部分地区很快将无法提供临时作物，尽管英国过去两个夏天已被排除在外，但我们有机会引导外国和农民群体。为什么我们要让自己受制于那些自行定价，且在许多情况下远未达到本国高质量食品控制标准的海外生产商？我们已经进口了太多。可持续农业激励计划（Sustainable Farming Incentives）不过是试图掩盖我们中央政府对整个行业的残酷对待，而这种对待得到了超市的认可，并被公众视为理所当然。至少价格被发现了。科学甚至在边缘年度付款中也无法反驳。现在是英国决定是否要增加 J.W. 的时候了，除此之外，这将为下一代提供一些清晰度，在未来以最佳利益准备提高食品质量。 MacDonough, Wilshire

1996, 结清部分 tty a 1st，化肥每吨 £10.4，电费每单位上涨。我愿意以每吨 £100 的价格购买。现在，成本约为每升 £5，化肥每吨 £10.5，电费每吨 2%。事实上，它将是每吨 £100。这还没有计算任何固定成本，一台拖拉机可能花费 £250,000，一台联合收割机成本为 £250,000。即使不考虑今年的糟糕情况，这也完全没有意义。 William Kimbridge Treasury, Germany

在 1998 世纪早期，许多国家都设有农业园艺学院。去年访问德文郡时，我很遗憾地看到我曾在 1970 年代学习食品技术的那个学院看起来十分破旧。其他一些已经关闭。我们需要更多这样的学院。 Penny Scott Staton, Cheshire

认为国民信托（National Trust）和 RHP 根据“政治意识形态”（前提是欧洲）管理景观（针对萨福克郡山火报告，8月 5）的想法是错误的。决策是由证据和科学引导的。我们实践自然修复而非常规焚烧，因为更健康、更湿润的景观对山火的抵御能力更强。在丹威奇希斯（Danwich Heath）和梅恩索（Mainsaw）并非“减少管理植被”，我们通过各种手段降低风险，包括修剪防火带、清除枯死天气并维护湿地。事实上，描述梅恩索湿地的曲线将其称为一种“天然防火带”，有助于保护它们。在过去几年中，任何类型的景观，无论是公园、森林还是私人场所，都可能被连根拔起。这是我们目前经历的极端条件的后果。随着气候变化，关于土地管理的艰难选择将不可避免。这些选择应由科学引导，而非文化和关怀。 Andy Burr 首席运营官，国民信托 James Robinson 首席运营官，RHP

巴德诺克谈克拉克顿 20世纪80年代 巴德诺克致信克拉克顿，基于旧有的文字称他们“值得拥有比奈杰尔·法拉奇更好的选择”，正如那份1987年8月9日的报告。看来她也认为在过去一年多时间里，他们值得拥有比任何人更好的选择。20世纪80年代是第一个实现这一目标的——在气候控制的即将到来的补选中，以及20世纪80年代是第二个实现这一目标的——20世纪80年代是第二个实现这一目标的——20世纪80年代 罗杰·方格 雷德尔海，红萨瑟 20世纪80年代 巴德诺克正利用她日益增长的人气来成为领导者。她在第7排补选中吸引了更多访问者，处于一种爱而复仇的状态。她很清楚保守党和改革党在大多数问题上达成一致：它们都是高度学习的政党。 --- 16 评论 如需订购《电报》报纸任何漫画的印刷品或副本，请访问 telegraph.co.uk / great-cartoons 或致电 0330-0322-0179 或发送邮件至 rendezvous@telegraph.co.uk 查尔斯·摩尔

Arday丑闻揭露了英国顶尖大学潜移默化的衰落 我怀疑，在选拔者的眼中，这位前教授缺乏资质和智力能力本身就是一种资质 新世界 telegraph.co.uk / qitnews 杰森·阿尔代（Jason Arday）于周三辞去了剑桥大学教育社会学教授的职务。作为史上最年轻的黑人教授，他被指控多次剽窃、挪用他人的访谈内容并伪造其生活经历的部分内容。当一场席卷而来的运动揭露他最近推出的一本书实际上并未被撰写时，他终于离职了。这里有一段摘自阿尔代教授确实撰写（或者至少是以他的名义出版）的书籍的简短片段。书名为《and Britannia and Multi-Billion-Britain Discretion》（“异教徒体验”）。接下来的这句话表明了全书的基调——“一个拥抱了盲目的民粹主义平庸之辈的时代的著名眼镜，对比之下，却无法提供遮蔽或避难所，以躲避那一直存在且日益阴暗的、有害且阴险的种族主义阴影，这种种族主义一直轻微且持续地损害着英国社会。”读者可以清楚地看到阿尔代的主题，即英国是种族主义的，且事实如此。他们还可以看到他根本不会写英语，当然，即使是定时眼镜也无法在阴暗的阴影中提供遮蔽。整本书都是如此——没有新的、基于研究的证据，不能形成想法的演进，而必须是重复的散文。它包含了“不值得的道歉”，这意味着写关于你作为黑人（或其他族裔）的经历——抱歉，是“生活体验”。这是一个有趣的主题，但不是一个学术学科。在阿尔代博士手中，它并不有趣。如果这并非大错，即便只是一个好的观点 它并不有趣。如果这并非大错，即便只是一个好的观点 它并不有趣。一周之内，他肯定会就阿尔代博士最喜欢的称号之一——“像我一样黑”提出质疑。不过，公平地对待阿尔代博士，他确实拥有强大的想象力。他在不同时间以不同的一致性声称，他曾帮助在非洲和南美洲安装供水点，并为慈善事业筹集了25 km，包括在30天内跑了50场马拉松。在其中一次中，他癫痫发作并导致腿部骨折，但仍然跑了九场。他曾患有复发性脑瘤、神经毒性肿瘤和睾丸癌。他的记忆将第二个猪头送到了他的家中，而他的脉搏找到了那些在早晨告诉过一整头猪的成群之辈，穿过了楼下的两极和成群之辈。他曾半专业地踢足球，以重新通过他的名为“无装饰”的名称。他甚至参加了电视纪录片《News Up》，尽管该片的主角出生于1957年，而阿尔代博士出生于1994年。“不可思议，”人们惊呼道。“我不知道你使用这个词是指它宽松意义上的‘令人惊讶’，还是指它精确意义上的‘不可信’。”负责阿尔代博士刚刚辞职的剑桥教席的董事会本应在选拔他之前审查他的工作。候选人需提交最多20页的已发表材料以供检查。一个来自剑桥——世界上大约五所最伟大大学之一、比整个法国多出50个诺贝尔奖、拥有牛顿和达尔文、Reynes和Wilmington之名的地方——的委员会，难道会认为

Arday那少得可怜且缺乏语言支撑的基础研究工作，难道本身就值得获得一个教授职位吗？而且，为什么他们会在显然没有检查他的简历或可能存在的抄袭行为的情况下就将职位交给他？这些问题，比Arday博士本人的行为更需要通过调查来回答。一个在正式学术术语和实际智力能力方面缺乏资格的人，是如何获得这样一个职位的？（我认为结果将表明，在选拔者的眼中，Arday博士缺乏常规资格这件事本身就是一种资格。如果你相信种族和阶级配额，并且认为大学的“活力”和知识准入门槛阻碍了工人阶级少数族裔的发展，那么你就会渴望任命一名有着长脏辫、且在“去殖民化”决策方面表现出普遍认同的、来自偏远地区、背景多样化的黑人青年。）如果正如他所说，他在成为教授之前无法公平地表达、无法演讲或写作，那就更好了。而如果白人反对说这个男人几乎没有具体成就且写作水平糟糕，他们就会告诉这些人“检查你的特权”，并质疑他们的热情。

权势人物已在Arday博士身上进行了投资。当一名记者通过电子邮件向他询问关于其研究的事实时，他向警方报案，投诉对方影响其心理健康。警方随后对该记者进行了盘问。当指控出现在印刷品上时，他竟然能负担得起聘请Carter Rock，该领域最昂贵且最激进的律师。一场旨在让提出质疑的批评者感到羞愧的运动已经开始。Simon Raven Cohen教授（作为……的表亲）权势人物已在他身上进行了投资。一场旨在让提出质疑的批评者感到羞愧的运动已经开始，理应更清楚地了解情况，并表示作为一名自然专家，他知道四分之一的自然人士曾尝试自杀。因此，批评——“这种情况是对一名自闭症男性的霸凌，并引发了安全保障问题”。专业选拔委员会的主席是Rachael Dally Morgan，她曾任工党部长、菲茨威廉学院前院长，但并非学术人员。Hilary Creman博士在Arday博士抵达她的学院时与他会面，告诉他他是“在你的研究领域中世界上最优秀的”，并将其任命为教育学教授。专注于和平与冲突，并著有《重建教育》一书，这次任命对于此处及其他相关人员来说一定是一个受欢迎的过程。“我们从我们的黑人同事和学生那里学到了这次投票，” “你可以像他们一样，看出她的出发点在哪里。”

凭借教授职位，Arday博士获得了耶稣学院的院士资格。自从退休以来，我一直关注耶稣学院的活动，其中国家中心是由中国共产党批准的资金资助的，并产出了30. 宣传，拒绝为反对者提供平台。在缅因，Joanna Alleyne，同样是一个没有学术背景的人，为这种宣传辩护。就在关于“黑人的命也是命”运动期间，她领导她的学院进入法院社区，要求从礼拜堂中移除一套精美的17世纪艺术系列。一个特许经营权，因为她说，他确实通过奴隶贸易赚了钱，实际上，他有25, 丢失的，导致学院损失了

六位数的金额。作为院长，艾琳女士还试图通过任命不具备适当学术资格的院士来不必要地提高多样性。艾琳女士是阿戴博士的坚定捍卫者，曾签署一封公开信，反对在他任职期间遭受的“持续且恶意”的攻击；然而，随着工作的推进，她首先从信中删除了自己的职务，因为她不应代表学院签署，随后又删除了自己的名字。此前，耶稣学院曾对其内部开展关于阿戴博士行为的审查。在他辞职后，该审查被悄悄取消了。目前，阿戴的“股票”正处于临时熊市。现在，我们必须面对即将出版的回忆录——《伟大且难以忍受之事》（Great and Unforbearable Things）。令人难以置信的是，这在教授中应该是首例，该书竟然有一位“共同作者”。在其经纪人发给出版商的一封信中，这本书被描述为“一个关于近乎飞行之人的广泛故事”，并且“省略‘战争’一词似乎是明智的”。阿戴博士告诉《卫报》，这本书为他带来了560 万英镑m的报酬。如果这一次他说的是准确的，你会认为他那漏洞百出的作品会让出版商赔光所有资金。但话又说回来，也许不会。那些利用这个令人困惑且使人迷茫的人来推进其意识形态的人，或许仍能成功地向公众宣传他是一位天生的作者。如果他们成功了，他们将成功地摧毁研究的概念，破坏通用知识和财产的积累，以及教育年轻人的事业。届时，大学声誉所依赖的学术自由将会枯萎。

世道人心

迈克尔·迪肯 (Michael Deacon)

一个从 30 年前或 40 年前穿越而来的人，会对如今的第 90 项条目感到震惊。特别是，我怀疑萨曼莎·尼德特 (Samantha Nidett) 既然在 2016 年之后，尼德特小姐就成为了南德比郡的工党议员。而到目前为止，她在威斯敏斯特的大部分时间似乎都花在围绕着 1 方面的事情上。当然，考虑到她的名字听起来像是一句来自《Carry On》系列电影的台词，也许这种痴迷实际上相当合适；更不用说，她的选民们在今年 4 月她敦促全国享受一个“性之夏”时，已经感到有些不知所措。而当她为了推广这一紧迫的活动，呼吁议会举办一场五十年代的展览时，他们一定更加吃惊。想象一下我们的时间旅行者会对此作何感想。在杰弗里·豪 (Geoffrey Howe) 那个时代，你永远不会看到这类事情。即使是女性想象力的剪影，也从未让国民承受过“基·巴滕德斯 (Key Battenders) 的十大性技巧”或“与爱德华·布雷迪 (Edward Brady) 一起探讨前英语时代的体位”。我不知道尼德特小姐为什么认为改善选民的性生活是国会议员的责任。根据我的经验，大多数选民只希望他们的——所有——税收能够降低。直到这里，她的选区诊疗室情况一定是这样的：“很高兴见到您，布雷迪夫人。现在，我能为您做些什么？从 5 到 5 再到 200,000？”我写了一篇类似的文章来取悦 1-10 的男人。“谢谢您，尼德特小姐。我完全只想谈谈英国主义。”“嗯，我想我以前没听说过那个。怎么操作？”然而本周，我们得知尼德特小姐对一种性太过于热衷。生物学性别。在 Instagram 上，她发布了一段极其诡异的视频，在视频中她愤怒地表示，跨性别女性——即生物学上的男性——现在被禁止进入女性更衣室。不过，这段视频如此令人震惊的原因，不在于她论点的荒谬之处。而在于 她论点的荒谬之处。而在于 穿了一套稍微体面一点的衣服。这让我回到了我的观点，即近几十年来政治发生了多么剧烈的变化。例如，如果玛格丽特·撒切尔突然决定中断一场辩论来向全国发表讲话，我怀疑她会在漂浮在洛锡安 (Lothian) 的充气桶上这么做。“性爱的问题在于，你最终会用完别人的润滑霜……”“嗯，我不想显得太刻薄。它可以在她的视频中指出，尼德特小姐雷霆万钧地认为后代在回顾 2020 年时会想‘当时的政治家多么可笑’。”所以至少她有一件事说对了。和全国其他人们一样，我很难过地听到我指的是阿尔代 (Arday)。我已经辞去了亚马逊副总裁拉扎鲁斯教授 (Prof. Lazaruste) 的职务，并且我同意欧洲的斯莱德杯 (Slyder Cup) 队。据商业消息，他还计划归还

他所有的七项爵位，但在发稿之时，这仍然是我的理解。不过，值得庆幸的是，有一些好消息。我所关注的第90号系统的负责人马克·鲍尔斯博士（Dr. Mark Bowles）已经承认，他的部队不应该对一个试图查明阿尔代先生（Mr. Arday）真相的人进行调查。为《泰晤士高等教育》（Times Higher Education）撰稿的杰克·格林（Jack Green）表示，警方曾告诉他停止向阿尔代先生提问，因为这是在“影响他的心理健康”。这种要求不仅代表了对新闻自由的寒蝉威胁，而且考虑得非常不周全。毕竟，如果警方认定向某人提出棘手问题是不可接受的，那么他们自己的工作将变得极其麻烦。因为嫌疑人也可以向他们提出同样的要求。“警官，请停止问我所有关于我昨晚实施的银行抢劫案的那些令人不安的问题。这影响了我的心理健康。”“非常抱歉，我们接受您的百次道歉，先生。我们不会再这么做了，先生。”“我其实认为不行。难道你们不知道被提醒起我所犯下的可怕罪行是多么令人痛苦吗？如果我的可怜家人发现我做了什么，你们认为他们会怎么想？现在让我走，在我向你们的上级提出严重投诉之前。”需要明确的是，显然我绝非在任何方面将杰西斯·阿尔代（Jesus Arday）比作银行抢劫犯，或者任何其他类型的罪犯。当然不是。将这种指控投射在一位三次诺贝尔奖得奖者身上将是极其离谱的。我的观点仅仅是，警方不应该因为人们提问而对他们进行调查。否则，每次他们调查一项犯罪时，他们自己的同事就得调查他们。 --- ... 17

社会民主主义已失去活力。如果美国吹起的政治之风在此可见，那么工党对绿党的胜利将只是暂时的。如果我看起来像一个黑色的夏天，要成为黑暗的内容，相当地，伯德汉姆（Burnham）本人在某个海滩上，它也在揭示一波受欢迎程度。当你长期地、从被工党缩小的狭窄处拉回一个高背椅时。政府在面对最近兴盛的政治讨论时更加脆弱，尽管你的灵魂，诚实的事情更多。黑暗的普拉卡什（Prakash）接管了。伯德汉姆的第一次重大，最后的胎盘——“成年期被选举干扰”——看到工党在第一偏好票中领先绿党 10 个百分点。伯德汉姆迅速采取行动，用哨兵的华丽和噱头来安抚左翼。总统在 2007 年 10:45 的第一次广播采访中呼吁唐纳德·特朗普。该党赢得了社会主义者戴安·艾博特（Diane Abbott）恢复党鞭权。呼吁人道主义苦难到简（Jane）一年后，政府的第一次重大，英国的第一场在伯德汉姆面前展开，因为他挥手接管了北美的权力，迈向新的一天，更富有，一个深受名人左翼人士喜爱的人，从加里·加德纳（Gary Gardner）到加里·史蒂文森（Gary Stevenson），以及像“男人之妹”和少数图珀（Tupper）这样有影响力的左翼定位者。但它更近了一点。伯德汉姆的团队在几年前被训练在金特雷夫（King Trev），政府团队获得了 10% 的选票。现在，即使是某些 100 人的嘈杂景象也只能聚集四分之一的选票。公众对工党的反应仍然在制造中，而且在未来的选举中似乎几乎没有“不可战胜”的可能性。伯德汉姆像他的前任一样，是一个强有力的领导者，但管理经济的方式脱离了我们的反欺诈，转向伯德汉姆。运动已经改变，但信息保持不变。工党并没有摆脱局部毁灭，而仅仅是推迟了它，如果伯德汉姆很快会变成一个伯德汉姆。但新的经济左翼在旧的社会民主主义工具中。只有一条路径形成，它继续前进到一把散弹枪，就像在 2016 年将工党推向权力一样——我们离开了，而且很剧烈。一些令人不安的事情正在整个面板上发生。如果我们假设美国将会很好，那么在几年或一段时间的延迟后，情况并非如此，有理由相信极左翼终于找到了它的选举时刻。美国的社会主义很少通过惯例和内置的盒子政治取得成就。在过去的十年中，伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sandon）两次成为左翼受欢迎的男孩，在民主党提名中获得了微小的头衔，结果却被同一个政党的建制派击溃。然而今年有了新的生命。公共事务，在桌子上未减弱，填满双手——只有竞选活动，在等待权力。提到的左翼人物包括美国民主社会主义者，他们几乎在所有地方都获胜。民主党建制派——就是十年前将希拉里·克林顿（Hillary Clinton）推向顶端的选拔过程的那些人——已经被创建。而本周，一个名叫阿卜杜拉·斯特里特（Abdullah Street）的进步主义者在密歇根州参议院初选中给了竞争者今年最惨痛的失败。很难想象像 10 报告这样的人在几年前能获胜。他是一个虔诚的穆斯林，主张“欺骗 1050 万”以说服以色列、塞尔维亚、南苏丹和埃及。他似乎希望到 2030 年在州内实现 500% 的可再生能源，然而，控制并拥有边境控制，深入研究移民和加拿大地点无法做到。总会有几个激进的问题在任何时间获胜。现在看，但 10 报告不会在初选中获胜。他在密歇根州获胜，这个州在 2016 年选择了特朗普。

最强有力的论点包含，但曾是，其有效性。但稳定性在实际操作中未能达到 10.5 以采取鞭策行动，第二次特朗普总统任期的路线允许这里的社会初选选择以确保大多数代表的支持。像伯德汉姆一样，它在大多数时候并不向选民推销 2000 年的第一口头案例改革，即便此后以利沙没有休息也无关紧要。拒绝在微小之处意味着“可信度”：他人能够偏好他们想要的任何东西，只要这能阻止他们眼中对总统职位的法西斯接管。但这在几年内起作用，直到它失效。安妮卡·斯莱特是另一个空洞的单位候选人，她在面对一个八十岁的激进特朗普时惨败。这场逃离拥抱了我的民粹主义转向，并且是懦夫的生活：它与总统职位相伴。谁能说同样的事情不能被完成？左翼，以及民主社会主义者，以特朗普对待共和党的方式向民主党建制派宣战，代价很高。来自富有魅力的坚韧者的局外人竞选长期以来以及社交媒体的高强度覆盖。这使得像爱德华·曼斯菲尔德这样的候选人能够主导一个可能是“人类之姐妹”和“人类之姐妹”的新闻圈。如果民主党基础没有随之改变，这些胜利都不可能实现。“温和多数”被证明并不存在于某些民主党业务中：阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德在本周密歇根州的总统律师初选投票名单中。仅仅指向特朗普是不够的。一些削减的选票只会将支持引导至那些持有他们观点的人。以色列是敌人，永远的控制和财富没有合法的社会协议，不会因为公众吸引力而被低估。即使是民主的神圣原则也在被重新评估。美国人认为政治暴力“可能是必要的”的最大降幅来自民主党。在民粹主义右翼手中的惨败教会了民主党，他们必须正视地应对。没有人能用直线防止赤字。所有 10 个中的 10 个人已经感谢一个被一和财富分开的空洞内谷，并且聚集在一起并被投向右翼。新的民主左翼实际上并没有提供社会主义，至少不是马克思主义意义上的。这里没有辩证理论，只有旧的政治逻辑。这是关于给人们他们想要的——而且数百卢比想要——仅仅是为了看到无情的、公平的伯德汉姆及其政治风格。我预计在 10 之中，某些单一的经济或社会问题在英国这里不会差一个数量级。也许这个国家在承认游戏结束之前，会减少最后一个艰苦的劳工，如果我们将其称为贫困。但在未来的下一个季度，将不会回归“常态”。我预计不久之后，一项调查将指出领导层的认知，即一扇门正为一个关键的、危险的且自豪的民粹主义左翼而开启。

亚莉安娜·格兰德（Ariana Grande）的粉丝并非在指责，而是在担忧

安迪·伯德汉姆（Andy Burnham）与亚莉安娜·格兰德之间有什么共同点？如果你记得很久以前的话，他们似乎都认为自己可以免于被审视。即便你不是她的音乐粉丝，你也能看出当前流行音乐界的状况。年轻女儿的父母们被拉进电影院观看电影《魔法坏女巫》（Wicked），在片中格兰德改变了她的季节性形象，饰演好女巫格琳达（Glenda the Good）。她目前正处于“内在阳光”（Internal Sunshine）世界巡演之中，处于名声的顶峰，毫无疑问其赚钱潜力也达到了顶峰。但格兰德本周决定暂时退出公众生活，其发言人称这是为了应对“无休止的、持续的公众审视”。

不需要天才也能猜到被审视的是什么。粉丝们在《魔法坏女巫》开始时就注意到格兰德体重减轻了。但这种减轻并不意味着视频，而且外界意识到亚莉安娜并非仅仅在进行某种社交大胆尝试。休息一下吧，随后视频下方的评论写道：“她的支持系统正在失效。”“这不是想要回以前的亚莉安娜，而是希望她健康。”

亚莉安娜现在的样子看起来简直像一副骨架。一件本应贴身的服装在她身上显得松松垮垮。无论是否有饮食失调，这都令人深感不安，但她的形象管理团队竟然认为现在是发行新专辑的正确时机——更不用说上述全球巡演，在撰写本文时，巡演仍在进行中。这让我想起新年前的一次类似奇观，当时希望是徒劳且滑稽的。只要演唱会的收入在滚滚而来，我们就很乐意看着他的家庭和名誉受损。

奇怪的是，亚莉安娜将这种“无休止的审视”纳入了她的艺术创作中。在公众看来，她将自己想象成一个在音乐高管等观众面前，渴望被父母和年轻人关注的名人。“不能开始开几个玩笑吗，”有人在一条被攻击的评论中写道。在极端情况下，她的锁骨和胸骨凸出得令人心痛。观众离开时会产生一种被欺骗的印象，任何关于亚莉安娜真实状态的评论都被视为上述那些烟雾男剧院。经历过2010年代早期的女性会记得那些年轻杂志的残酷，它们关注她的身体，将其与乔安娜（Joana）和克里斯蒂娜（Christina）的失误进行对比。但这并不是格兰德所厌恶的那种“姐妹之情”的“审视”。我是一个努力尝试成为“五之姐妹”的共同作者，他们担心的是她的健康。你不能在不尊重粉丝对其个人福祉产生关注的情况下，与粉丝培养关系。名声伴随着责任的预期，尤其是当这位明星被数百万年轻女孩共同追随且未经过审计时。我很高兴格兰德能从她的提供日程中抽出时间来照顾自己。她应该意识到，多年来支持她事业的人们只希望看到她健康快乐。

对于一个20世纪70年代的男孩来说，一辆罗莱（Raleigh）自行车就意味着自由

新闻 一个童年的黄金时代已随一家伟大的英国公司一同逝去

当我大约 14 岁时，我非常想要我的最佳选择。自从 16 岁起，我就在那个巨大的章节中。在任何人误会之前，而且为了 16, 岁以下读者的利益，我当然是指 1970年代. 年代那款 Raleigh 自行车，它拥有“guy-burgster”曲把手和长踏板锁定。在我看来，从我所说的内容来看，它就像汽车一样强大，安装在计数器上。我当时是一个非常紧张、深受期待的看门人。它出现在一所叫 John Bird 和 Ultra Violet 的学校里，有 a million and a half were in。关于我的朋友们，我记得什么？第二章（我过一会就停止这样做？）对于我见过的一些人来说，但观众，英国自行车制造商 Raleigh 在经历了 16 年的制造轻质组织、家庭配送、小众观众之后，已经陷入了破产管理，而我见过的人，所有人都用可靠的老设备感到快乐和满足。我曾有过，但在某些时刻的救援中，它消失了。当然，公司时刻在兴起和衰落。这就是资本运作，这就是它运行的方式，而且这并不是一件好事，其他人会回答。不，这里的悲剧是，随着 Raleigh 一起逝去的是什么，以及我和我所有的伙伴在 2016. 年视为理所当然的东西。在省级政治中，我们拥有的绝对自由，一张表格，可以骑着廉价的织物去任何我们想去的地方。我们在城镇之间穿梭，去彼此的家。我们在城镇中穿梭，跨过河流去聚集会议或喝咳嗽苹果酒。现在看来不可思议，但我们需要完全骑车离开Hereford，如果那家长期的公司“可靠地、深入到人们之中”，在那滚动的森林里，正确地抽烟。但是，我们会聊关于女孩的事，或者他们曾处于财务危险的账单中。然后我们会在坚实的夜晚骑车回家，我们的母亲们解除了接触并讨厌我们，让我们在底层阶级中咨询。我们当时大约 14 或 15. 岁。数字范围很广。在 1990, 80% 的英国中学生被允许在远离家门的一定距离内独自出行。到 2010 年，这一比例下降到 10% 且在持续下跌。在英格兰的一半地区，只有 10% 的城镇人口被允许独自骑车去街角商店，但不能骑车出城。当夜晚逐渐死去或消亡时，在 70 个 10 岁的小样本中，在 10 个国家里，只有芬兰、瑞典、日本和丹麦的大多数孩子在任何年龄段被允许每天进行 200+ 次活动。自行车依然存在——所有权率仍然很高。然而，辉煌的自由消失了。童年萎缩了。为什么？部分原因是交通：现在的汽车数量是 1970. 年的两倍。但大部分原因是恐惧，而且这种恐惧是没有根据的。在 1970 年代，陌生人依然像当时那样仁慈地罕见。我所面对的是焦虑。为了每件新事物和社会媒体。再加上一种将无人陪伴的孩子视为父母疏忽的有力证据的文化。而实际上，我可能只是一个在寻找他的男孩。我有时在想我那辆旧的 Raleigh 北方之镇在 9, 号位置在哪里，尽管没有问题。我忘记了，它在某个阴暗的地方，最近被闲置和冷落。我说过我会停止制定那个计划。无论如何，随着一家公司的逝去，这一切已经过去——尽管为了诚实起见，我应该承认，并非所有都是田园诗般的童话。我记得，也许是我骑着那辆车在下坡时飞驰，以 10mph 的速度，我撞到了一块石头，飞过了车把，在路上做了一个转点，导致我的下巴受伤。我的母亲惊恐万分。我被简化为第三时刻，他们在我的脸上贴了塑料制品。两天后我又骑上了车。

灾难 recipe

大规模国家建设的雄心计划可能会演变成一场耗资 470亿英镑 的无能与腐败噩梦，且充斥着陈年旧账。作者：Ed Cumming, Blaise Cloran 和 Ben Butcher

在伦敦纽汉（Newham）的 16 号和傍晚，卡彭特庄园（Carpenters Estate）并非一个预处理之夜。这个曾经繁荣的社区由一组塔楼组成，如今已沦为一座全球小镇，在过去 20 年里经历了无数次重新开发计划。由于最迅速的时代和上涨，其中的许多公寓已变得无法居住。尽管如此，只要不在那里过夜，居民们仍可自由返回他们依然视为家的公寓，无论那里已经变得多么破败：“我们在公寓里吃晚餐，然后必须在 Travelodge 酒店过夜，”自 1990 年代起就住在该庄园的 Warren Linton 说道。“议会因为结构问题导致建筑不安全而将其移至 2015 年 11 月，但我们仍然看不到或听不到任何工程在进行。有时如果很难看到，你会发现水在主楼梯上流下来。”

对于在附近食品银行工作的 75 岁 Tov Faddam 来说，情况也是如此。“我在这里住了 50 年，这是我的社区，”她说。“议会想让我搬到绍森德海边（Southend on Sea）。在我这个年纪，我不会那样做。我在这里住了这么久，这里就是家。”“我住在船上，希望议会能为我找一个永久的新家。”

一个“住房陷阱”

安迪·伯德汉姆（Andy Burnham）承诺要“实施战后以来规模最大的市政房屋建设规划”。欧洲尚未完结。没有必要让工党在西方毫无阻碍地掌控局面。伯德汉姆无法在不增加同样数量——即等待社会住房的家庭数量的情况下，削减 100 万 套市政房屋的缺口。他说，许多人为了获得住房已经等待了超过 30 年。他认为，这个国家陷入了太深的“住房陷阱”。高昂的住房成本吞噬了可支配收入，阻碍了就业机会，并有助于使区域财富壁垒永久化。此外，通过社会抱负来实现这一目标，往轻了说也是困难的。尽管有建设房屋的愿景，但伯德汉姆并未解决一个核心问题：在英国，市政住房真正应该是怎样的，以及谁应该是其受益者。在一系列赋予权力的证明中，在战后年代，社会住房曾是如此，而如今它已变成一个 24 / 9 的词汇，代表着对国家的依赖。它通常被视为一种施舍，而非一种助力。在之前的市政库存中，市政住房已成为一种日益增长的内部资源，尤其是在城市中，它为一些人提供了避免不断上涨的成本和抵押贷款压力的一种手段，而另一些人则发现自己投入了越来越多的精力来维持住房。增加住房数量并不能完全消除这种竞争——以及随之而来的不满。历史表明，大规模的国家住房建设规划可能会伴随着争端、缺乏经验和腐败，将巨大的权力交到那些决定建设什么、如何建设以及谁最适合入住的人手中。在英国最后一次大规模建设市政住房近半个世纪后，伯德汉姆能否实现他的社会住房之梦，还是它会变成据估计可能高达 £47 的噩梦？

他的方法已经引发了争论。周四晚上，保守党宣布他们将对外国国民实施真实的住房措施，因为一些州将因此释放出估计 250,000 套住房。“工党没有处理好移民问题，失去了对福利账单的控制，而买单并坐在等待名单上的则是英国的家庭，”影子工作与养老金大臣 Briton Whartle 表示。作为回应，尽管有避风港，住房大臣表示该项措施将继续针对非移除者，并来自博尔顿（Bolton）。她说：“这个无数的、不可行的提案是从博尔顿抄袭而来的，对于解决保守党自身造成的住房危机毫无帮助。”

除了 Easter 提到的地方外，很少有地方如此。大曼彻斯特地区在安迪·伯德汉姆担任市长的 9 年里看到了房屋建设，但仅有 2,500 套住房是为社会安置而建。没有比纽汉（Newham）更能证明这一问题规模的英国地区了。超过 40,000 户家庭在市政房屋的等待名单上，这是全国最长的名单，且在十年内增加了一倍多。59,000 户家庭住在临时住所中，同样是全国最高。前五名的等待名单全部在伦敦：纽汉、Bown、兰贝斯（Lambeth）、Forest、Hantons 和格林威治（Greenwich）。这些地区的外国国民比例都很高。纽汉占 16。承包商已警告首都的系统已经崩溃。“我只是等待了多年，没有反馈，没有透明度，也没有问责制。这不是一个系统，而是一个黑洞，”著名的社会住房活动人士兼作家 Bway Twentree 在 12 月告诉伦敦议会住房委员会。

在纽汉减少名单的尝试引发了最佳状态来源的关注。在过去十年中，该区仅建设了 502 套新的市政房屋，仅为所需新房的一小部分。而建设仅仅是与住房相关的众多困难之一。

2014年，纽汉（Newham）的监管评级处于社会住房质量的最低等级。“这些操纵的行为及其规模，在发现非常严重的健康与安全问题方面，给租户的福祉带来了不可接受的风险，”社会住房监管局（RSH）监管参与负责人凯特·布拉博韦斯（Kate Braboweth）表示。去年，纽汉议会承认一名住房官员涉嫌将20处房产分配给了不符合条件的人员。大约在同一时间，有报道称刘易舍姆（Lewisham）议会花费了£3回购此前在“购买权”计划下以1000 万英镑出售的议会住房。与此同时，在一项针对10,000套住房的现金20计划中，政府预计临时住宿成本将在未来几年使其预算缺口增加2 亿英镑。由于在临时住房上花费过多，它无法负担永久性住房的费用。

危机临界点

安迪（Andy）从该地产核心的哲学困境出发写道，实际挑战层出不穷。无论以何种衡量标准，纽汉（Newham）可能是住房问题最严重的议会，但这仅仅是众多处于危机临界点案例中的一个。在全国各地，各议会和地方当局在试图增加住房供应时，都在与成本、腐败和无能作斗争。

一座新建的议会住房在方案起草之初就可能陷入困境。计划往往被法律诉讼、当地反对意见和资金问题所拖累。在沃金（Woking），一个政府项目原计划提供 1,142 套住房，但自该议会于 2015. 宣布破产以来，该项目已被放弃。此前，克罗伊登（Croydon）议会在一家名为 July 1st 的议会住房公司倒闭后，不得不注销 9000 万英镑 的债务。在威尔特郡（Wiltshire），Circle 开发商在六年内没有完工一套住房，却累积了近 400 万英镑 的债务。在西萨塞克斯郡（West Sussex）的索斯威克（Southwick），建筑商在一个 40 套新公寓的开发项目中表现得如此糟糕，以至于在租客能够入住之前，需要花费 500 万英镑 进行维修。

即使在具备居住条件后，住房也可能无法由预定的租客入住。此前，巴斯（Bath）和的一项警方调查显示，约克郡（Yorkshire）的议会住房被“腐败的住房官员为了个人利益而欺诈性地分配给了他人”。

决定谁能入住新房也会制造其他矛盾。在海尼代尔（Hineydale）的达顿路（Dutton Close），住房部门计划将寻求庇护者安置在 21 套新建住房中，但不久后因当地民众的愤怒而作罢。本周在谢菲尔德（Sheffield），抗议者袭击了他们认为将被用于安置寻求庇护者的房屋。此前，上个月在住房协会和外发生了抗议活动，这些活动由发起，他们指责社会住房的配额被抢占。

根据现行规则，寻求庇护者没有资格获得社会住房，除非在特殊情况下（例如他们是家庭暴力的受害者）。另一方面，拥有定居身份、难民身份或特定人道主义保护的外国国民则有资格。在 2014-2015, 新社会住房中难民最常见的国籍是阿富汗，其次是乌克兰。

随着英格兰社会住房的候补名单目前达到 110 万，且特许经营者警告称，按照目前的建设速度，积压的需求需要一个世纪才能清除，因此人们担心，新抵达该国的人员在住房分配上优先于英国本土家庭。

从远处看，英国看起来像是一个政府不能建、或是不愿建，且无法将合适的人安置在勉强完工的房屋中的国家。在没有明确逻辑的情况下，简单地向问题投入资金，可能会加剧问题并造成进一步的社会伤害。

噩梦般的死结

在2500 万英镑、降低酒吧税率以及10号的诞生之间，伯德汉姆自成为首相以来，一直试图以一种轻松、亲切的风格和一系列引人注目的举措迅速进入状态。他甚至概述了一项解决社会护理问题的计划。如果那是

国内前线：玛格丽特·撒切尔在2014年移交一份死亡副本，城镇中心的社会住房，维多利亚，1985年的家庭，作为其购买权计划的一部分，将一次诞生分组，然而，住房问题正处于危急关头。没有什么比这更能概括新任10.号住户所面临的噩梦般死结挑战了。这是一项涉及规划、地方政府、过渡以及建筑业共同作用，从而产生了一种非预期趋势的政策，其中充斥着腐败、阶级准入和相互监管的迹象。当政府的公共分配意图显而易见时，成功将需要解决每一个在过去几十年中击败政府的问题。

第二次世界大战后，政府致力于清理最后的遗迹，并为饱受冲突之苦的人口提供高质量的住房，从而开展了大规模的房屋建设。到1920年代，每年有300,000套房屋在建设中，其中一半以上由地方当局负责。如果伯德汉姆要达到战后每年竣工社会住房的平均水平，他将使国家每年额外增加近140,000套竣工住宅。但这些数字自20世纪60年代后期以来就再未实现。目前的平均水平每年仅略高于2,000套。

“这是一个在很大程度上属于愿景的目标，在实践中将极其难以实现，”为地方当局提供住房咨询的律师维多利亚·高级（Victoria senior）表示。“地方当局并不具备在战后时期那种规模上建设房屋的能力，当然更无法达到安迪·伯德汉姆所预期的规模和速度。”她质疑道：“认为我们只要回到英国的社会住房建设时代，且上述地方当局在当时并没有感到这在21世纪是一个现实的模型。”她补充道：“现实情况是，如果你真的想在战后时期的规模上建设社会住房，你谈论的是数以亿计的公共投资。这根本不可能发生。”

腐败的目标

伯德汉姆在一次演示中指出。在 20 世纪 50 年代和 60 年代，英国地方议会每年常规建设近 200,000 套房产。这些数字在 20 世纪 70 年代出现波动，通货膨胀和经济衰退限制了议会的支出规模。但正因如此，议会住房成为了腐败的绝佳目标。1985, 17,500，纽卡斯尔市议会的工党领导人因在约翰·波瑟姆（John Potham）丑闻中的角色而被判处六年监禁，在该丑闻中，知名商人波瑟姆通过贿赂官员以获取政府合同。波瑟姆在被定罪后，将自己描述为一个被舆论风暴击中的“傻瓜”。在 20 世纪 90 年代，玛格丽特·撒切尔限制了议会支出，导致议会停止了建设。她广受欢迎的“购买权”计划使数十万套房屋脱离了社会住房库存。此外，议会在如何替换这些房屋方面也受到了限制。由议会借款、建房并自行管理资源的旧模式，被住房协会的新系统所取代。这些是指管理住房的营利组织，它们仅获得最低限度的直接拨款和私人借款。然而，凯特·伯德汉姆（Kate Burnham）渴望成为近几十年最支持社会住房的首相。工党领导层的承诺是每年建设 500,000 套各类房屋，但他们实现的不足一半。今年 1 月，瑞秋·巴恩斯（Rachel Barnes）及其住房大臣宣布了“社会与可负担住房计划”，这是一项为期 10 年、耗资 1000 万英镑 的倡议，旨在为 100 万人提供住房，其中一部分将用于社会住房。斯塔默在能够取得进展之前就辞职了。伯德汉姆尚未为其计划设定具体数字，但这很可能比之前的计划昂贵得多。瑞典基金会认为，建设 300,000 套社会租赁房实际上将耗资 470亿英镑，这将使工党的预算出现 5000 万英镑 的缺口。这笔资金可能并不足够。政策研究中心 39

估计，如果每套三居室房屋的建设成本约为 £250,000，那么十年间每年支出 £2,000 只能每年购买约 £1,000 套房屋。每年建设 800,000 套意味着每年需要额外增加 £2200，大约相当于距离预算的三分之一。根据《卫报》最近的一篇报道，工党计划创建一家国有住房开发商，该公司将能够以低于私人开发商和住房协会的利率进行借款。但伯德汉姆在担任大曼彻斯特市长期间深知，在现实中建房比在演讲中承诺要困难得多。虽然曼彻斯特的整体建房水平在近年来经历了繁荣，但议会住房的成效较低。在伯德汉姆担任市长的九年期间，大曼彻斯特地区共完成了 16.8% 的可负担住房，但其中仅有 1,188 套用于社会租赁，平均每年少于 300 套。

私营伙伴关系

然而，无论其政治优先级如何，任何身在唐宁街的人都必须面对同样的住房建设障碍。一方面，地方议会已经失去了如何建设住房的专业知识。“很难想象一种场景，即我们重新为地方当局提供资源，让他们用自己的团队在内部建设房屋，”维多利亚·史密斯（Victoria Smyth）表示。“我不认为这将是我们最终采用的模式。地方当局需要做的是学习如何更好地与私营部门合作。这在一定程度上涉及收入、配备合适的管理人员，并帮助他们变得更果敢、更灵活。我们需要像思考其他形式的基础设施那样思考住房问题，这意味着中央政府需要发挥更大的作用。每个人都同意我们需要增加数百万套住房，但没有人希望它们建在自己的后院。”伯德汉姆的宏伟计划将不可避免地在同样规模上制造出 Stinthyam。除了迷人的新城镇，议会的建筑热潮还给城市留下了丑陋的塔楼——例如建于 1967 年的 Carpenters Estate——这些建筑现在需要翻新或拆除。爱丁堡哈拉雷西大学（Harare West University）城市研究教授格伦·布拉姆利（Glen Bramley）表示，寻找建筑地点的困难在伦敦和东南部尤为突出。“过去几年出现了一些具体问题。脱欧后建筑成本增加，且战争依然在进行。然后在伦敦，你面临着格伦费尔（Grenhill）火灾后的防火（规定），这使得建设高层建筑并获得任何批准都变得很困难。”“我们大多数人会认为，他们需要专注于郊区位置，并摆脱对“棕地优先”（brownfield first）的痴迷，这毫无意义。寻找具有适当公共交通和服务的好位置。那才是你应该建设的地方。”

成本螺旋上升

住房成本的增加还意味着，为了回收成本而需要转嫁到租金中的金额，其增长速度快于社会成本的上升速度。代表住房行业的贸易团体住房论坛（The Housing Forum）在最近的一份报告中指出：“建造房屋的成本超过了通过该房屋未来的租金收入所能抵押借贷的金额。” “例如，如果一个议会以 1% 的利率借款 250,000（最简单房屋的成本），仅利息支出每周就高达 £10，这远高于目前三居室房屋最新的社会成本标准（每周 £10），或可负担租金标准（£512）。”（可负担租金通常设定为市场租金的 40%。）

“我认为即使能够启动，他们也必须面对劳动力短缺的问题。”南华克区（Southwark）的自由民主党议员维克多·钱伯林（Victor Chamberlain）表示，他亲眼目睹了地方当局的挣扎，“该行业还没有准备好在像南华克这样的行政区每年建造我们所需的数万套房屋，因为劳动力严重不足。” “脱欧后，许多在这个国家建造房屋的人已经离开，而且长期以来没有对建筑技能进行新人培训，这是一个老龄化且需求巨大的劳动力群体。”

除了如何建造、出租、维护和分配议会住房的问题，还有一个问题是议会住房最初的定位是什么。近几十年来，英国的议会住房被视为最后的手段，成了目前弱势群体争夺有限供应的竞技场，为分歧提供了肥沃的土壤。与任何其他障碍一样，议会住房存在一个根本性问题。

《议会住房的兴衰》（The Rise and Fall of Council Housing）的作者、自由撰稿人史蒂夫·沙费恩（Steve Schaffern）教授表示：“对于伯德汉姆（Burnham）来说，最重要的挑战是让议会住房重新变得具有吸引力。” “我认为议会住房的形象太负面了，尤其是对于年轻人。伯德汉姆试图采取宏大且大胆的行动，因此在开始阶段，很难建立共识，也很难让人们相信这是理想的住房。他可能会遭遇失败。”

“英国的议会住房存在一种持久的污名化，这是其他欧洲国家所没有的。如果伯德汉姆想要通过一个昂贵且雄心勃勃的议会住房计划来带动选举，他需要向普通民众证明这些房产是可以被认可的。”

“像荷兰这样的国家仍然将议会住房作为一种大众模式（为广泛的人群建造大量房屋），而不是一种残余模式（为少数有极端需求的小群体建造少量房屋），”曼彻斯特大学规划学教授塞西莉亚·王（Cecilia Wong）表示，她在工党处于反对党地位期间曾就住房问题提供建议。 “在荷兰，律师和学者也会租住议会住房。我们需要重新设计。我 20 世纪 80 年代从香港来到英国时，看到议会住宅区的样子感到很震惊。在香港，90% 的人都来自议会住宅区。那是很正常的。”

英国是否会对这样一个社会主义制度产生兴趣，则是另一回事了。

“我们需要政治意愿”

在纽汉（Newham），至少在绝望之余仍有乐观的理由。5月，纽汉议会的两个经济适用房项目——Node Geolion House和Fladot Road在Edna London奖项中获得一等奖。纽汉市长Evelad Shonam表示，该开发项目意味着“更低的能源账单、更温暖的家以及更好的生活质量”，并补充说在纽汉，“我们致力于建设让当地家庭引以为傲的家园”。41岁的Marvin Melton与家人住在Fladot Road的一套三居室公寓里，她说他们在那里很开心。“装修很漂亮，我们在这里住了大约三年，我很喜欢这栋建筑，虽然有时人们在阳台上抽烟，但这里靠近所有的商店和设施。”

但如果说Fladot Road提示了一种前进方向——即议会住房可以是具有吸引力、环保且受居民欢迎的——那么仍有很长的路要走，而且不仅仅是在这里。Burnham本人面临着一项艰巨的任务，这将需要足够程度的政治意愿。除非或直到他回答议会住房应该是怎样的、以及应该为谁而建的问题，否则他的梦想很容易变成一场噩梦。

“我们需要大量的政治意愿[来推动议会住房的建设]，”来自Level Economic（Fladot Road项目的作者）的McCafferty博士说道。“你需要真正的能量来让每个人参与进来。这必须关乎质量，而不仅仅是数量。我们需要确保在10年后，我们能为在这个计划中建造的房屋感到自豪。这些房屋需要维持200年。”

与此同时，像Warren Lufkin这样的居民只想要一个可以居住的家，无论是否获奖。

中产阶级攀比之火的新前沿

烟雾、疏散警报和橙色天空，竟成了今年夏天英国人度假时出人意料的新身份象征。

我开始在德国度假几天了，我的妻子看起来有些焦虑。并不是因为她没给孩子们做晚餐而感到不适，也不是因为她失去了投资的快感，或者在想念那趟前往伦敦的通勤火车是否会多晚一分钟从而符合延误赔偿的标准。不。是因为有一场山火。她在手机上看到了报道，关于席卷欧洲的火灾故事，而现在，我们入住的这个岛上就发生了一场。诚然，我们来希腊度假是为了寻求比英国阴雨天气中更强烈的阳光，但这并非她心中所想的那种“强烈”。

我收起了自己的手机。“你在看机票吗？”她问，以为我也和她一样，觉得需要疏散我们这个四口之家——包括两个分别七岁和五岁的小男孩。

我皱起眉头看着她。“不。我在看火在哪里，在想能不能打车去那里。”我此时正后悔没有带上那个小型太阳能充电宝，以便为这份报纸提供更高音质的现场报道。

接着，我们两人的手机同时闪烁。是一条希腊语的警报。但我看到了“Fora O'rot”这个词，并查看了谷歌地图。这就是当前山火的中心。距离大约50mm 50cm，至少要开车一小时。

肯尼（Kenny）看起来很担心。“太近了，”她说。

我耸了耸肩。“嗯，”我回答道，“其实还不够近。”

我现在意识到，我们进入了危险地带。不是因为身处自然灾害附近而危及生命，而是比那更糟糕——一场度假期间的家庭纠纷。阶级斗争在此显露无遗。她的母性本能正在发挥作用，无论危险多么遥远，都要不惜一切代价保护孩子。而我体内主导的睾酮则让我沉浸在某种真实戏剧展开的兴奋中，将我从新公民法先生怀特萨米度假村（Mr White Sammy resort）的沉闷中解脱出来。到目前为止，我最大的纠结在于，在经历了希腊夏季的hard-mean之后，午餐时我是否应该成为最后一个离开的乘客。

我也意识到，令我兴奋的不止是戏剧性。前一天，一个朋友发布了一段在Cologne度假屋拍摄的山火视频，这段视频被BBC采纳，随后《泰晤士报》还进行了采访。“我们发现山火就像一部灾难电影，”标题这样写道，“火光是橙色的，当你看向我们的房子时。”

通过声称山火规模更大且距离更近，这确实是一种与邻居攀比（keep up with the Joneses）的方式。我看着克里特岛的火势，在季节性McHry风的助力下稳步增长。我发了一条信息：“你的视频不错，但我的火比你的大。”

因为这当然是最诚实的路径。因为故事驱动着我们古板的中产阶级感官。无论是在家还是在度假，无论是在公司搬迁、孩子在学校集会上的表现还是酒窖，一旦我们陷入了那些贫乏的、全包式度假的乏味中，我们必须与过去的问题搏斗。这些业余时期的山火现在非常流行，规模越大、距离越近越好，谁会责怪一点点夸张，一点点对真相的修饰或是不经意的掩盖呢？

毕竟，在经历了杰西·乔利特（Jesus Joliet）事件和沃尔特·米利（Walter Milly）绑架案（期待Netflix剧集）之后，面对我们自己戏剧中的火焰已成为一种时尚。如果不是别墅、餐厅账单或故事足够火热，那么通过声称山火规模更大且距离更近来与邻居攀比，确实是一种方式。

风靡一时。Bodybikes在上个月与肆虐在Zestia's Bodybikes地区的山火搏斗。

因此，在我们克雷塔尼（Cretani）度假村绝对安全的地方，在山的另一边，风向对我们有利。在情况逐渐得到控制之际，我给家人和朋友发了消息：“……是的，情况很糟糕，能闻到烟味，天空是橙色的，正在查看离境航班，看看我们能否离开。”我发短信给乔（Jo）询问最新情况。她说：“我们在泳池边，正在做午餐，我们这儿有几个人。”

我要对付那些企图恐吓我餐厅的琐碎“凯伦”们

The Aegean Breeze 是一家位于伍斯特的餐厅，主营海鲜和牛排。通常情况下，熟客们对此都很满意，但最近一群食客在 2006 年的账单送达时决定，事实上，这里的服务和菜品并不达标。他们说，未来的味道太“土”了。餐厅方面提供了一些折扣以安抚他们。该团体拒绝了，她坚称没有任何东西是好的，然后没付钱就愤然离去。“绝对是‘凯伦’，”一名员工观察到。

由于使用了“凯伦”（Karens）这个词，这件事引起了关注，随后引发了回忆。对于各地的体面“凯伦”们来说，他们应该对这种普通表达方式感到不知所措。如果你不知道的话，称某人为“凯伦”是指他们处于中年，具有中产阶级的倾向，有一种自以为是的正义感，道德上的绝对确定性（任何表现出的权威——傲慢）。

想象一下，如果这种情况发生在我的店里。我想：他们拿我的名字当挡箭牌是为了逃避合规，威胁不付钱。这件事发生在光天化日之下（或者更准确地说是深夜），就在我自己的店里。

来自西萨默塞特郡（West Somerset）的白酒吧（The White Bart）来了。一封电子邮件来自某个对小企业拥有某种立法权力的人的专业账户。他们研究了我的餐厅，询问我推荐什么。我立即回复，推荐了蓝色鳀鱼前菜的版本，就是几条小鱼，压碎并配在一起。配上当地 Longstone 搜索灯（searchlight）的烤面包片和一层光滑的盐封（saltseal）、软毛黄油，建议尝试来自萨默塞特格里勒（Somerset Griller）主厨夏洛特（Charlotte）的特别项目。

我告诉我的总经理安德鲁（Andrew），会有 VVIP 到访，要特别照顾他们。我说：我不在店里，专家们在几天后来了。很少有知情者（来自主厨的消息：她说，“绝对是‘凯伦’行为”）。然后是安德鲁记录的正式、逐刻的记录。

结果正如“凯伦”的惯常作风，该团体挥舞着我的名字，暗示他们将逃单。“我们不需要通过威廉（William）结账，我们认识他，”他们说。安德鲁立场坚定。在一定的压力下，账单勉强被支付了。他们愤然离去，而我的团队很高兴地表示，我们不会容忍“凯伦”。或者，正如我刚才所说的，琐碎的暴君永远无法成功地恐吓我的餐厅。

他们纯粹是上帝，傲慢且无知的抱怨简直好得令人难以置信；其中最绝的是“鳀鱼太咸了”。“如果我把您的意见转达给厨房，”那天在餐厅负责服务且处于最迷人状态的希腊人乔治（George the Greek）平静地说道，他讲述了他们的刻板印象，同时揭露了教皇是天主教徒这一事实。鳀鱼本身就是咸的，这正是其乐趣所在。

在端上两条完整的柠檬比目鱼时，乔治提出帮他们剔骨，他做这件事时带着魔术师般的熟练。他们说：“不用了，谢谢，我们要整条的。”然后，过了一会儿，他们向乔治抱怨鱼“刺太多”。乔治再次鞠躬，承诺将此信息转达。

在面对账单时，他们随后提出了指控，抱怨乔治询问他们来自哪里。他的邮件写道：“晚上好，请问您来自哪里？”这种魅力被视为一种攻击。随后那个人威胁我要给差评，并建议我们谈谈，大概是为了在在线管理平台上达成协议。

我建议，我对他们的评价会糟糕得多，因为他们试图逃单的行为属于盗窃，再加上破坏名誉的“咸鳀鱼门”事件。那位 VIP 没有回复。

在我餐厅不受欢迎的员工名单上，他们表现得如此糟糕，无论是……不，或者像未拆封的……没有，做得好，没有，没有偷酒杯，没有反馈，我们不这样沟通，全部贴在墙上——且没有暴君。

我建议对他们的评价会糟糕得多，他们试图逃单的行为简直是偷窃。有话要说：用餐者抱怨鳕鱼“刺太多”。--- 2026年8月9日，星期六 22 《电报》报纸 与大洋洲邮轮顶级合作伙伴一起预订，独家票价将于2026年8月11日上涨 ROL CRUISE 值得信赖超过 30 年

周日访谈

萨迪克·汗爵士在我到达几秒钟后就出现在了他的办公室里，目的明确地开始了交谈。他的忠诚近乎咄咄逼人。汗说 10:30, 时间正好，好人。他在死亡之前状态良好，且表现得恰如场合所需的友好。在担任伦敦市长十年后，汗已经让自己变成了一台机器，其每一个输出点都致力于同一个目标：继续担任伦敦市长。你必须如此，汗仍在提出新想法，一项 £1 亿 的绩效方案（将于 9 月开始，但尚未启动），以及一项 10 年的清理首都河流和水道的计划。即使是关于会议时间以及围绕市政厅（City Hall）的闲聊——市政厅俯瞰着伦敦议会大厦那双倍扩张的时钟——也充满了政治色彩。“这个想法是，如果我们现在搬迁市政厅，最终我们多年来一直讨论的这一切就能实现，因为我们拥有前市政厅。而且，那里的权力也可以转移到这里，”他说。大厅前是一个水道区域，包括一个让儿童游泳的小型报告纸。 “很多来自周围水域的黑暗在暑假期间已经缩短，所以我们花了很多钱。” 可能的重大主管安迪·伯德汉姆，第 10 号北区，新任首相希望这将有助于减轻首都的权力？ “这很有意义，是的，”汗在有限的信息之后说道。“这个想法是试图在道路上激发很多兴趣，而且它正在起作用。” 我在一名旧的矿工老友中，他们做了一个有趣的对比研究，关于结婚的一天。他们两人都出生于 1970, 伯德汉姆很出名。汗 54 英尺。他们是在工党议员中出生的。伯德汉姆首次当选于 2016, 汗在 2020. 获得了 76 个名额。他们在过去十年中都担任市长，伯德汉姆在大曼彻斯特，汗在伦敦。汗正处于他的第三任期过半，如果他在 2020, 第四次参选，他将被再次选出，他尝试在他口中所谓的“世界上最好的工作”。尽管有所有好的方面，他也多次经历了“除了locum之外的一切”，且在“趋势”中只有几个且“酷”。他坚持自己没有欲望进入工党，并且我们在他的第一批十四名伴侣荣誉中真正被封爵。另一方面，伯德汉姆在第三次请求时采取了通往许多首相的长路。“我认为即使是最严厉的批评者也会承认，他最近的前两周表现不错，”汗在谈到在竞选活动中支持的伯德汉姆时说。“我是伪君子的忠实粉丝，我相当拥有一个计划且对此感兴趣。来自北方的能量是受欢迎的。我得到这样的印象。而且我有很多，如果原谅这个枪的话，关于他希望政府走向何方的看法。” 伯德汉姆的毁灭议程自然引起了市长的兴趣，他希望保护对政策领域的权力，但要维持更大份额的当地税收收入。“如果世界的生命回归控制是有意义的，那是否意味着权力从布鲁塞尔被收回并安置在白厅，或者意味着权力真正地被像乡村这样的区域？不，还有莱茵兰，为它泡沫化。他《电报》领导层。“我们是全国控制最严的，而且我们如此寒冷。作为市长，这令人沮丧，因为无论你是西约克郡、大曼彻斯特还是伦敦的市长，我们都比白厅的公务员更了解我们的社区和挑战。” 然而，对于首相来说，涉及伦敦时的挑战是，声誉的奉献将意味着首都将获得更多其预定份额的税收，这在权力体系中不太可能受欢迎。

“伦敦在全国征收的每 £10 税款中大约贡献了四分之十，”汗表示。“如果我们被赋予权力并获得相应的资源，我们的贡献会更多。我们的决定之一是维持我们部长的低薪——作为前伦敦市长，情况大约好三天——将我们的国家‘平衡’的方式应该是降低伦敦的水平。但另一点是，我们作为一个国家所做出的决定，最重要的国家应该被授予我们给予的碎屑。”他说，他最近工作的一部分不仅仅是理解政府能够制造并给伦敦碎屑。“我花了很多时间作为市长试图影响政府。我一直对伯德汉姆担任首相感到紧张，因为他被刻画成一个仇恨北方的首相。我确认他一直是这个国家的良才。对于工党政治而言，专注于自己的业务至关重要。在某些方面。这是可能的 对于工党政治而言，专注于自己的业务至关重要。在某些方面。这是可能的 对于管理关于伯德汉姆在国家中的成员，我一直维持着来自白厅的负面情绪基调，以及他认为他将一种新方法应用于新城镇的观点。他说，在过去两年中，在‘经济和瑞秋·史蒂文斯’方面，我承受了挑战。“向下走并不是让人们以同样方式向上移动的好方法。”我印象深刻的是，永远没有年轻的衍生品。你可能仍然有一部电影，但这并不重要。这种自然的平衡感是

萨迪克·汗

我希望我的努力能在天堂赢得赞赏

对于许多人来说，他是一个充满争议的人物，而对于安迪·伯德汉姆（Andy Burnham）来说，他是一位密友。伦敦市长表示，在他权衡是否竞选第四任期时，他的动力依然充沛。Ed Cumming 称这是汗（Khan）成功的一部分。有人可能会认为他是他那一代最成功的工党政治家，一个被某些人攻击为危险的州际人士和 / 或因其沉闷的规则而被攻击的人。没有那么小的人攻击他，以至于他已经处于这个位置足够长的时间来让他垮台。我可能并不反对他的一些里程碑式政策，特别是，经常低估他过去的一些措施，如低交通量社区（LTN），以及对其犯罪记录的批评。汗甚至让每个人都……从这里开始，新闻则是，戈德史密斯爵士（Sir Goldsmith）、谢恩·基希（Shane Kishy）和苏珊·霍尔（Susan Hall）。到目前为止，他有一种躲避技巧。在我们移动的早晨，伯德汉姆宣布对政府规则进行改革，以优先考虑创造就业而非预先安排，因为一个公开的是不可避免的，汗是否同意优先考虑增长而非新事物是正确的？“我认为你是在尽量确保人们能够交谈，”他说。“随着时间的推移，你会将人们引导至你想做的事情。我们奖励了具有良好贸易名称的相对员工。脱欧的益处很少，但其中一个益处是获得更多招募。那么为什么我们不让更多被谴责的，我的意思是，如果他不在一个运动中，如果不是那个夏天；人们什么时候才会意识到我们正在经历人为的气候变化，这将对我们所有人产生后果？我们面临的情况是，由于山火，伦敦消防局经常表示这是他们自1960年代以来最糟糕的一天。而现在，营养的法院远超行动的成本。”换句话说，两者兼而有之。在与汗交谈时，你会注意到两种对话策略。第一，如上所述，是用关于某个主题的长篇想法来回答问题，这样当你思考的时候，你会想问关于其他事情。另一种是像一个更紧凑的pro-baptizing chaff一样使用统计数据，每分钟这样做一次。如果你不喜欢一组数字，他还有其他的。在他陈述完毕时，你已经继续你的生活了。尽管如此，在他觉得政策被需要的地方，他反复证明自己准备在高处减少批评。就像1950年代的扩张，在2021年和2023年，首先在北环路和南环路区域内，然后是整个大伦敦地区。对扩张的反对导致2023年Uxbridge补选中以3-year narrowly running险些落败。“没有人谈论Ubroxner，”汗说。“人们在从我们的政策中反弹。没有风险就没有回报。我们在过去10年里做出的最佳决定是那些难以执行的决定。你不能像1970年代的大雾霾那样看待政治，所以把它像1980年代的恶臭那样使用。所以，但事实是，十年的尝试和特别的事情对于一个沉默的杀手至关重要。”萨迪克（Sadiq）也一直是一个投资者，他在2014年准备伦敦马拉松期间被诊断出患有成人起病性哮喘。他将自己比作“必须成为一个好”的工作，包括烟草和权力minions。“绝大多数人支持我，”他说，他的收藏，甚至那些反对它的人也认为这是一件好事。“我认为在那个时候，少数发声的人制造了很多噪音。没有人以这种方式竞选市长。”就像LTN一样，另一种汽车转换政策，汗一直坚持执行，导致反对者发起愤怒的抗议甚至破坏行为。“我不能在不咨询当地社区的情况下通过LTN实施烟雾，”汗说。“一个领先的粉丝为了好，更多是为了一个杰出的资助者冲刺。”“有些很出色，有些还可以，有些很糟糕，”他说。“我认为我们，正如在某些政策领域，他觉得他会给予

他认为自己在某些政策领域的得分比其他领域低。“我不玩那种游戏，”他说。“伦敦比10年前更公平、更安全、更绿色，也更繁荣。”如果不涉及州和联邦层面，这并不容易，而且他并不想列举孩子及其兴趣。 “你正在呼吸一座房子，但如果你要成为一个新男孩，他会试图被杀死，而不是在这些几十年的任何时间里。如果你不确定自我们开始以来的人均最低水平，那么去年有30,000条生命或金钱。”对汗（Khan）最近的批评是，伦敦人对这座城市的体验不仅仅是陈述的事实。“我的意思是，他用统计数据获益。我在伦敦住了近40年。我告诉他，我以前从未成为犯罪的受害者，但在过去五年里我被抢劫了三次，但没有提到在街道上看到大面积的混乱，挣扎以及其他创造城市认知的法庭。”“认知才是关键，”他说。“参考标准是降低犯罪率，但如果你不把这些包含在内，对我来说这就是个问题。”他将事情转向的阴谋归咎于“第一次”，第一次是自2020年以来。对于不利面，他承担责任，但对于进步则将其归功于自己。

10-汗的100年政党在政策上可能令人沮丧，但他的杂志对虐待的减少一直是一项显著的资产。他曾受到威胁，以至于他现在拥有全天候的安保，这种保护水平与首相相当。“我们绝不能在安·沃尔夫斯（Ann Wulfs）在她家中被谋杀后不久就纵容这种情况。自从汗成为市长以来，两名国会议员，以及大卫·阿莫尔（David Amore）已被杀害。”我需要警察保护这一事实，在作为公众人物与保持亲近感之间很难平衡。市长比国家政治家更有效的一个原因是他们更灵活。我们在保护下移动使这变得更加困难，尝试参加演出或跑步很困难。即使在今天，他经常成为虐待的目标，包括社交媒体和采访，以及来自唐纳德·特朗普和埃隆·马斯克的攻击。“你认为我落后很多，”他说。“我理解。我们是一座自由、进步且真实的城市，并且在任何方面都极其成功。如果你不相信这种热情，或者你不相信穆斯林、犹太人、基督徒和其他人可以和谐相处，那么我们就是你的问题。”

他是八个孩子中的第五个，父亲是一名已故司机，母亲在1969年从巴基斯坦来到英国，从未完全融入。他见到的第一个人是一个“悲伤的，而不是轻蔑的”在伦敦工作的校长。他的信仰在当年五月达到了顶峰，他在三月完成了伊斯兰教的大朝，他当时将这次经历描述为“深刻改变人生”。“我非常欣赏信仰我的人群的多样性，”他说。“在伦敦以外，像我们这样可能是世界上最多样化的地方。令人惊叹的是，所有男人都穿着两块白布。这令人感到谦卑。尽管有所有这些头衔和地位，我们是平等的。你可以是一位绅士，伦敦市长，或者一名出租车司机，你们都一样。这是一个面对我存在（presence）的机会。”

中东宗教文化有时被视为在工作中投入更多，以及更多家庭时间。汗自1954年起与律师桑德拉（Sandra）结婚，两人在九年级相识。他有两个成年子女。他此前曾表示，他每年只休一次假，而且即便如此，媒体也说他的妻子会为了她而请假，或者为了极端紧急情况。但他表示，他的朝圣并没有让他停止工作，反而激励他更努力地工作以进入天堂。“我希望，我用一种新的、推迟的方式说，我所从事的公共服务将在这个世界上带来回报和利益，”他说。“我希望我所做的工作能带来棕色（Brownie）。”“这是一个基督教国家。没有人想在唐宁街上飘扬穆罕默德的旗帜。”

得分。我们称之为棒球，是恩赐。这种观点认为人生是一场考试。如果你通过了考试，你就能进入天堂。如果你失败了，你就会去另一个地方。“发挥我的潜力并不一定意味着在这里工作，尽管我应该尝试花更多时间陪伴我们的女孩们、我的家人和员工，但还是要努力继续做好事。”“这不是一种统治行为，就其方式而言，”他迅速补充道。“我并不是在试图说服你或《电报》报纸的读者成为穆斯林或接管这个国家。”“统治行为”是指一系列社会和诊断性的约克·蒂莫西（York Timothy），影子小组的秘书，在批评三月份在特拉法加广场举行的一次穆斯林祈祷集会后的公开活动。

“我不明白为什么人们想要将这件事政治化，”汗（Khan）说。“我目前理解的是，在那些公开且健康的人群等级制度中，穆斯林处于底层。我可以理解，通过四个选票而不是一个选票来赢得投票是可能的。我可以反思，人们会问，人们在公开场合做事而不是在清真寺的隐蔽区域做事，真的是一件坏事吗。”他说他应该抵御一些右翼人士利用该事件来制造距离的企图。“这是一个基督教国家，有些人会说是一个犹太-基督教国家，”他补充道。“没有人想在唐宁街上飘扬穆罕默德的旗帜。或者至少我不想。我不明白为什么会出现这个问题。我绝不会让人们觉得我们不是一等公民，并终结关于文明冲突的这种叙事。这必须是那些在年轻人期间感到安全的人的剩余部分。”

“这个世界必须做或不做什么，汗确实在前往上议院的路上。但他决定要成为什么样的勋爵。”“拖曳，”他承认道。《电报》报纸一直是生活中一种很好的方式。”“我的家人很自豪，”他说。“我的希望是我能成为年度勋爵的一部分。”“我看得很清楚，但如果你能得到帮助，你可以实现任何目标。这是一个你通过有趣方式管理并成功获得世界上最好工作的国家。”“我会尝试抽出时间。”“我的选举会有一点。如果他像那些女孩建议的那样获胜，并且看看一个家庭的名字，他将担任伦敦市长 10 年。”“在与我的妻子和家人讨论后，我将在明年做出决定，”他说。“我的名字是埃德（Ed）。我现在仍然在做这件事。”“有一件事让我有点犹豫的是，我不确定这对我是否有利。我将成为一个 对我有利。我将成为一个 对我有利。”“我想我们可以猜到那会是什么。” --- 24 ... 特色

索霍区反对限制“直立饮酒”

如果没有顾客站在人行道上，酒吧还能叫酒吧吗？艾米莉·雷特（Emily Retter）和哈里·布伦南（Harry Brennan）对此提出了疑问。

一个血液问题现在拥有当前的牧场，而她正站在酒吧外喝酒。她还遇到了她的前任伴侣，当时的情况是：“我们聊了起来，”她微笑着解释道。她说，这就是站在酒吧外面会发生的事情，这比被限制在带有战争的路缘石边要更坦诚。她补充道：“这很特别。”或许这也解释了为什么酒吧周围的酒吧会变得秘密，尽管她坚决认为这不应该被强制要求成一个钱包。“这不是我们的目的，”她清晰地说道。她坚定地认为，酒吧爱好者和站着喝酒都是英国酒吧体验的一部分。

我们在伦敦索霍区南方街（Southern Street）的一家名为 The Coach & House 的酒吧柱子外见面，60岁的珀金斯（Perkins）和她的侄女51岁的莫莉·霍普金斯（Molly Hopkins）正在进行最近被戏称为“直立饮酒”（vertical drink）的行为，他们指的是那些面对人行道、聚集、倚靠在长柱上并溢出到道路上的饮酒者，而 6% 的人对此毫不犹豫。在英国，这种情况我们已经如此习惯，以至于你不会立即注意到它。饮酒者变成了街道家具。对于珀金斯来说，这是一种独特且光彩夺目的文化习惯。“我是在这种环境下长大的，”这位女士说。“对于其他来访的人来说，体验这一点是很特别的。”

负责监管伦敦这个餐厅和酒吧密集区域的威斯敏斯特市议会并不认同。由保守党领导的议会即将向公众发布一份征求意见的草案公告，这引发了确认。该文件建议，索霍区和西区（West End）的所有者可以引入“怪物，以减少直立饮酒的程度或消除其机会”，并补充道“这可以通过引入固定座位，以及要求随时提供最低数量的座位，并要求服务必须在水内或仅限女服务员服务来实现”。这一声明无论是否有意，都带有一种明显的枯燥感。

饮酒者们感到困惑。霍普金斯说她一直没有在酒吧外保持倾斜。

莫莉·霍普金斯（左）和她的下一任艾莉森·珀金斯（Allison Perkins）在 Coach & House 酒吧前。 “对于游客来说，体验站在酒吧外面真的很特别。”

恰逢其时，51岁的亚历克斯·盖恩（Alex Gane）感到自己像个陌生人，回到了家中。“社交互动是最重要的部分，这就是你来酒吧的原因，”他说。“如果你在家办公，你面对的是电脑屏幕。当你站在别人身边而不是坐在桌子旁时，你更有可能与其他人们交谈。”

虽然议会表示，它并非建议禁止站立饮酒，且坚持 18 岁或以上的最低限额，但该文件专注于“在城市的活力与保护居民及维持安全、包容空间的需求之间取得平衡”，并补充道房东应该：

“一个橙色围栏醉酒，以及一个橙色提供更多座位，在那些人们可以坐下来享受饮品并通过桌边服务点餐的场所，以取代那些因高容量直立饮酒而产生压力的空间。”

感到愤怒的不止是饮酒者。这种做法在房东中引起了不满，他们已经在雇员国民保险费率降低、酒精税、最低工资和商业税的持续压力下苦苦支撑——这种完美的风暴促使《电报》报纸发起了其“新日子档案”（New Day Folio）活动。

这位女士，曾八次担任大曼彻斯特地区顾问的安迪·伯德汉姆（Andy Hardman），将威斯敏斯特市议会称为“英国最反酒店业的议会”。她认为这比她想要的更多，并补充道：“让酒吧充满彼此交谈的人并不是一项公共措施，这是英国的生活，而且它就在你的外面。”

在位于艾尔斯街（Isles's Dean Street）的 Brench House 酒店，经营了 37 年的店主莱斯利·兰辛（Lesley Lansing）感到愤怒。“酒吧就是酒吧，”她说，“很多人在酒吧里从不坐下，他们根本没想过要坐。”她说，一个全部强制就座的区域看起来会像“机场休息室”一样。“如果我们被强迫让每个人都就座并提供桌边服务，我们还不如关门，或者干脆把它变成一个城镇街区……我们无法维持盈利。在封锁期间我们就没能撑过去，”她解释道，“顾客人数会减少。我们的人行道空间不够，”她说，“我认为我们会失去大部分顾客。谁想待在一个必须坐在桌子旁的压抑环境中？”

这种疲惫的禁令也影响到了仅一英里外玛丽·莫尼（Mary Monee）的店主们，那里同样隶属于威斯敏斯特市议会。虽然该区域不在目前咨询的街道范围之内（目前仅限于艾尔斯街和西区），但他们依然感到担忧。在艾尔斯街经营 live电路in farm 的蒂姆·欣森（Tim Hinson）只有九张桌子。“如果不能站着喝酒，我们根本无法经营，”他说，“如果我们必须在人行道上就座喝酒，我们的周营业额将从大约 225k 降至 200 或 275. 我们将不得不裁员，并且在已经缴纳大量关税、国民保险和其他税款的情况下，陷入困境。”

位于附近多塞特街（Dorset Street）的 The Bailey 经营者威尔·尼奥茨（Will Neots）补充道：“如果他们想停止这种过于繁忙的状态，他们会想在其他所有地方都停止。在夏天，你还不如：保留酒吧——人们想要在灿烂的阳光下待着——简单来说，这将导致破产。”

在艾尔斯街 Droman 街的 Devonshire 酒店外，人们站着缓慢移动。各年龄段的人都在那里，人群填满了狭窄的街道，四十名贝德福德（Bedford）。在它的头部，历史冷峻地表示，站立饮酒是“神圣的未来”，并激烈地补充说它“应该被允许继续”。第一部分在荷兰，那里的户外桌文化已经成为常态。但在这里，“那里”并不认为这在文化上或实际操作上可行，因为大量的孔洞将无法容纳足够的桌子。“我们没有足够的户外空间，”她说。

与朋友一起在公共场所休息的 20, 和 20, 的斯蒂芬·亚当斯（Stephen Adams）也表达了看法，两人都在伦敦其他地方的酒吧从事款待业。无论是作为顾客还是酒吧管理人员，他们都认为所谓的“站立饮酒”是有好处的。“如果你强加类似的东西，我认为它不再是一个酒吧了，”阿尔伯斯（Albers）说，“这就是走向乡村，你与吧台后面的人交谈。这就是你成为常客的方式。我认为你正在剥离酒吧生活的一个重要部分。我认为在很多地方，这将成为他们关门的原因。你将无法提供准入。”

由于不相信站立饮酒者会带来额外条件或不可控的人数，机会在于无法提供准入。威斯敏斯特市议会领导人保罗·斯沃德尔（Paul Swaddle）坚称，“没有任何计划，也从未有过计划在威斯敏斯特的酒吧禁止站立饮酒，”并补充说他欢迎这次对话，因为这是“咨询的一部分”，并强调议会的优先事项是增长和支持款待业。他补充道：“这关乎安全，而不是阻止任何人手里拿着一杯酒站在酒吧里。”

Isles 的顾客们非常渴望被咨询。在卡莱尔街（Carlisle Street）The Town 的 Guinness Bar 门外，他们不仅聚集在店外，还延伸到了狭窄的马路对面，甚至占据了人行道。25 岁的 Tom Dread 从事葡萄酒和烈酒销售工作，他惬意地靠在“人行道生活”中。他说：“Isles 和伦敦的精髓就在于在户外喝酒。而且去酒吧的一大乐趣就是走到吧台前选择你想要的饮品。如果你用桌边服务，就失去了这种魅力。”在 The Brench House 门外，20 岁的 Oscar Graham House 穿着考究，在奢侈品零售业工作，他的打扮显然是为了“站立饮酒”而准备的，他表达了类似的观点。“在手臂触及范围内喝酒，当你真正肩并肩时，会有很棒的交谈，会有体验，还能交到朋友。”他表示自己并不喜欢“新冠时期的二维码扫描”生活。他不想坐在桌边，而是在这里，他想站着。“我想我就站在 The Brench House 门外，”他笑着说。

我是《电报》报纸的汽车专栏作家。在行驶了一年且里程达到 12,000 英里后，亚历克斯·罗宾斯（Alex Robbins）揭晓选择二手现代汽车究竟是天才之举还是代价高昂的错误。

通常人们会认为购买二手车是个好主意。但我会这么做吗？作为《电报》报纸的客户，公平地说，我之前买过的车大多很糟糕。曾有一辆丰田 MRT1，其寿命大部分由铁锈和报纸组成；有一辆大众高尔夫，在报废前仅让我幸运地开了两天；最近则是一辆雪铁龙 10，在三年的所有权期间，它仅在路上运行了三周。

当我决定购买一辆二手电动汽车（EV）作为家庭用车时，在 30'90 的情况下，我不禁思考这会是我一个明智的决定，还是另一个糟糕的决定。一年后，针对二手电动汽车所有权的几个关键问题，以下是我的感受。

为什么我选择电动汽车？ 主要是因为这很合理。电动汽车的优势之一是可以节省大量资金，但前提是你家里得有充电桩才能获得全部收益。我很幸运地处于这种条件。与每月支付汽车租赁费用相比，节省下来的资金抵消了为新电动汽车融资带来的额外成本。此外，如果我足够聪明，我可以买到一辆仍处于原厂财务保修期内的车。另一个原因是电动汽车看起来性价比很高。而且既然我在《电报》的一篇文章中主张购买电动汽车，我觉得我应该验证这个理论是否成立。

我买了什么？ 长期以来，我一直很欣赏现代汽车的一些家用设计，我想这辆车可能会给我带来惊喜。虽然我并不追求极致的通用性，但它有足够的空间用于日常使用和家庭度假，而我能负担得起的一辆三年车龄的示例车型还剩下两年的保修期。

购买过程如何？ 异常简单。我访问了马歇尔·加威克（Marshall Garwick）的经销商，并告知销售员，如果进货中有任何符合条件的车辆请告知我。我不希望给销售员添麻烦，原以为不会收到任何回复。但就在这里，她找到了一辆合适的车——提出将其购入集团库存，并要求支付一笔可全额退还的押金。我和家人试驾了这辆车，并达成了一项协议，其中包括三年的保修延长，使我的总保修期更长。这很简单，随后我们就开走了这辆家庭用车。最重要的是，它开起来像新车一样。

汤姆·克鲁斯是否为了山达基教而放弃了苏里？随着他的女儿登上爱丁堡舞台，Liam Kelly 试图探究这场持续十年的裂痕之根源

在汤姆·克鲁斯的三个孩子中，似乎只有一名想要效仿他的历史轨迹成为一名演员。然而，在您对 20 岁的苏里大喊“未经过打磨”之前，这里有一些故事值得关注：她与好莱坞父亲的关系疏远，并且后来在结果中选择了定居。在爱丁堡边缘艺术节上，苏里·诺埃尔（Suri Noelle）——其中间名来自她的母亲，即凯特·霍姆斯（Kate Holmes）——在一部改编自莎士比亚的作品中担任主演。克鲁斯的其他孩子——他在与妮可·基德曼结婚期间领养的伊莎贝拉和康纳——似乎与父亲几乎没有关系。

与好莱坞其他父母与子女的故事（例如围绕保罗·纽特家属的持续剧码）不同，过去几年一直有说法认为，是 64 岁的克鲁斯在十多年前刻意疏远了他的女儿。苏里从未公开评论过他们的关系。

当霍姆斯在 2012 年与克鲁斯分道扬镳时，据报道，这至少部分是因为她不希望苏里追随她的父亲进入山达基教会。在次年离婚前的法庭程序中，克鲁斯在宣誓证词中承认，他的第三任妻子希望选择一方，以便“保护苏里免受山达基教的影响”。

克鲁斯是世界上最著名的山达基教徒，是一个原本极其秘密的组织的形象代言人。长期以来一直有人推测，克鲁斯将此“科学”应用于世界，而他们最后一次被公众看到在一起是在迪士尼世界。最终，在 2013 年——因为他对教会的忠诚。

作为一名同行，他知道山达基教徒和教会公开的教义是：对手可以被宣布为“压制人”（SF），而信徒的职责就是让自己远离这些人，即使他们仅仅是。如果一名山达基教徒与一名 81, 保持联系，他们可能会被视为“潜在麻烦源”（PTS），并面临被宣布为 SF 自身的风险。山达基教徒维持着一种强大的力量，要求成员切断与非山达基教徒的关系。

如果霍姆斯被贴上了 SF 的标签——我们不知道她是否被这样贴标，因为教会几十年来没有将这些决定公开——这或许可以解释为什么这位“顶尖人士”似乎也对自己进行了欺骗。从而远离了他的女儿（这一点从未得到极其注重隐私的克鲁斯的确认，据报道，在霍姆斯于纽约抚养苏里期间，他每年向霍姆斯支付 600,000 的抚养费）。

为此，一名于 1991 年离开山达基教的英国前教徒写过几篇关于这种庞大宗教的文章，最近一篇讨论了山达基教在世界上的情况。他认为，如果霍姆斯被宣布为 SF，那么即使是婴儿时期的苏里也可以被视为一个“极小”的 PTS。“从山达基教的角度来看，没有年龄之分，你是一个不道德的存在，且从你被孕育的那一刻起，你就得为自己的行为负责，”他说。

在他的“Cancerware”前沿领域报道山达基教多年之久的托尼·奥特加（Tony Ortega），仍在与已故的迈克·罗德（Mike Roeder）谈论克鲁斯，罗德曾是山达基教会的高级管理人员，也是其领导者大卫·米赛（David Mice）在 7 岁时的亲信。“凯瑟琳可以打破规则，因为他是最重要的名人，”奥特加说。“迈克告诉我，如果汤姆·克鲁斯想与他的妻子凯特交流并继续见他的女儿苏里，大卫·米赛可能不会阻挡他，因为汤姆的名人身份将超过那个（限制）。”

更多的是，“汤姆·克鲁斯可以随心所欲地做他想做的一切。如果他想与她交谈，绝不会有人把他送到山达基教的伦理部门。”

当然，也可能是霍姆斯和苏里与克鲁斯之间产生了隔阂。他们都没有公开谈论过彼此的关系。在这种信息真空状态下，猜测已持续多年，并受到新闻的影响，而现在她成年并在爱丁堡的卡内基梅隆大学学习之后，情况发生了变化。“苏里通过更改姓名，使这件事成为了一个更公开的故事，”奥尔特加补充道，“在我看来，很明显他选择了山达基教而非自己的女儿，这真是太遗憾了。”克鲁斯的公关人员未回应置评请求。这与苏里还是个孩子时的情况截然不同。她六个月大时就首次出现在公众视野中，登上了《今日公平》（Today's Fair）的封面，当时她由安妮·拉邦特抱着，显得很开心。在随附的采访中，克鲁斯热情地谈到他多么享受为人父的感觉。“我的父亲一直如此，我一直想成为那样一个人，让我的孩子们能够依赖我，而我永远在他们身边并爱他们——我绝不会做出一个我无法兑现的承诺。”他接着说，“我不确定那些认为你可以给孩子太多爱的人是怎么想的。你永远无法给孩子太多的爱。”

右上角粉色字体：2020年，汤姆·克鲁斯在诺埃尔的一次家庭度假期间；左下角：1998年，克鲁斯与妮可·基德曼以及养子伊莎贝拉和康纳；右下角：苏里·诺埃尔在爱丁堡边缘艺术节的莎士比亚改编剧《威斯康星》中。

这简直不可能。虽然这些话现在在苏里·诺埃尔听来可能显得虚伪，但克鲁斯其他的孩子似乎与他关系密切。他在与基德曼结婚期间领养了现在的21岁伊莎贝拉和25岁的康纳；在两人于2003年分手后，他们据称达成了一项5,000美元的监护权分割协议。这意味着，除其他事项外，伊莎贝拉和康纳本身被抚养成为山达基教徒。或许他们对教会的忠诚有助于维持父子 / 父女关系。据称伊莎贝拉是一名特别虔诚的山达基教徒，而康纳则住在佛罗里达州克利尔沃特的总部附近。他们偶尔会被拍到与父亲在一起，最近一次是在2023年12月的一场比赛中。

基德曼在《雷霆之战》（Jocay of Thunder）片场结识克鲁斯并于1999年与他结婚，她曾暗示孩子们的信仰一直是紧张关系的来源。“他们能够做出自己的决定。他们选择成为山达基教徒，作为母亲，我的职责是爱他们，”她在2009年告诉一家澳大利亚杂志，“我就是一个例子，这就是我的信念——无论你的孩子是谁，孩子需要爱，且孩子必须知道爱是触手可及的，而我一直在这里。”

这些孩子如今的生活似乎截然不同，但关于在墨尔本的情况：“……她通过更改姓名大声地表达了观点，但如果她愿意，她也可以说其他事情”，这标志着对《墨尔本仲夏夜之梦》的改编，并将其与她和一些同学共同面对的某个“温和”的问题联系起来。伊莎贝拉和康纳似乎过着远离聚光灯的生活。“我不认为康纳或伊莎贝拉会进入任何形式的公众生活，”奥尔特加说，“他们两个似乎都不太想活跃在公众面前，或者不公开活动。”

伊莎贝拉拥有伦敦德尔马学院（Delmar Academy）的化妆资格证书，她是一名艺术家，将自己描述为“自从能拿起笔起就一直在绘画”的人。她在网上以 Bella Kidman Cruise 的名义销售帆布袋。她摆脱了作为一名英国 IT 顾问之女可能被预期的各种场景。她在 2010 年找到了它，并且是一个朋友的目标，其母亲被透露他们住在克雷顿（Crayton）的一栋独立住宅中。从康纳的生活中可能获得的最大洞察来自于她自己的生活，这些生活致力于缴纳税款，如果她被抓住，则必须减少冷却。 “自 2012 年以来，孩子们在公开场合对他谈论不多，基德曼或霍姆斯也没有（后者据称作为其疾病结算的一部分签署了一份新的披露协议）。苏瑞更改名字的事实意味着她可能在运行日子，以便她处理她与克鲁斯的关系，或者缺乏这种关系。” “她通过更改名字大声地表达了观点，但如果她愿意，她也可以说其他事情，”奥尔特加说。“关于发生的事情，你真的让我们产生了兴趣。”

专家并购买了一辆二手电动汽车……会出什么问题？电池是否随年龄增长而退化？我坚持要求由电池健康机构在交付时进行检测，所有二手电动汽车的买家都应该这样做。结果显示剩余原始容量为 30%，这在三年时间里是非常低的退化。我没有测试过一次，但行驶里程没有明显的下降。实际行驶里程是多少？1000 个电芯，假设 7,000% 钾模型在 100 英里，4000 英里，这转化为夏季月份的实际最大里程约为 240 英里，冬季下降到约 200 英里。在一次每日水平的早晨，室外温度低于零下 10℃，汽车预测它只能行驶 300 英里——尽管在行驶过程中跳回到了约 200 英里。是长途旅行造成的吗？一直如此。我们进行了 2010 英里的往返旅行。我们每年两次与家人会面。那次旅行确实需要满电里程。一个家庭标记，那么沿着这条路线的进程是什么，认为我可以快速充电，速度高达 2,000%。虽然你只能在完美条件下看到那个速度，但它仍然能从合适的充电桩快速提取 10,000。在实践中，如果我们休息一次，喝杯咖啡并进行一次频率下降的远足，当我们回来时，汽车通常已经完成了充电，这意味着通常是这样，而不是汽车延迟了行程。我是否产生过里程焦虑？有几次，在回到家时，电池读数为 2%，因为一直担心在深夜返回时无需停下来充电。较长的冬季旅程有时需要增加一次充电停靠，而在夏季，如果你想在回家时仍保持舒适的电量水平。它出过问题吗？哦，好几次。在戳刺时。还没有。它在其他方面出过问题吗？在交付前的步骤中，经销商发现充电门在呈现时无法打开。这在保修期内得到了修复。空调风扇在一次完整行程中拒绝工作。但下次启动汽车时它工作完美，并继续聚焦。除此之外，它一直很坚固。公共充电是一个大障碍吗？总的来说，现在的网络已经足够好，如果你愿意加载充电，作者绝对会考虑购买二手电动汽车。但对于长期的电动汽车，必须检查其电池健康状况。舒适的悬挂和缺乏路噪意味着驾驶过程很放松，尽管高速公路上的成本很高，但你可以相当自信地在不使用应用程序的情况下找到一个可用的充电桩。为了找到最快的充电桩，仍然值得使用像 ZigMag 这样的应用程序来检查你路线上的充电桩，并考虑几个备份选项。实际使用成本是多少？充电完全在家里进行，使用任何三智能充电器和 Unipure 用于消化，其本身成本降低了 50%。对于行驶 22,000 英里的 1ve 驾驶员来说，成本将是 2,000。仅使用公共充电的成本将是其 10 倍。大约 10% 的充电在公共场所，我估计在 10.10% 上大约是 2,000。我之前的 Moela Superb 平均 10 趟的成本约为 25,925，高于高密度。考虑到长期，它并没有像预期那样便宜，因为每四年需要更换一次电池冷却液以维持 100 英里，使得第一次费用约为 10,000。接下来的几次保养费用会降低。我喜欢它什么？它的运行成本如此之低。舒适的悬挂和缺乏路噪意味着驾驶也令人放松，尤其是在长途旅行中。在寒冷天气中，对内部进行预处理——并进入一辆窗户除雾的温暖汽车——简直太棒了。在夏天，同样的设置意味着空调可以在你进入之前冷却车内。

有什么遗憾吗？我们想念旧款 Superb 那巨大的后备箱。我也想念它的稳重感。这款车的驾驶体验虽然有趣且唯一，但相比之下感觉更好。唯一美中不足的是，如果你将方向盘太快地回正，可能会导致主风暴开关触发而非关闭。这对我来说意味着什么。那么折旧情况如何？我没有使用该组的估值，它在当时可以作为一个基准，行驶里程为 25,000 英里。大多数工作认为它会达到 45,000。那之后经历了 1,45,000 的艰辛，到那时里程达到了 40,000。正如我们看到的 2m，我对二手电动汽车（EV）有 1 分钟的更新兴趣，另外两个也是如此。大多数方式将其价值定为 250,725，行驶里程为 30,000 英里。他们会再买一辆二手电动汽车吗？是的——在满足几个条件的情况下。首先至关重要的是电池健康状态，以及一份长期的车辆保修，以防学习者（learner）的电子元件失效。如果二手电动汽车满足这些条件，我肯定会考虑再买一辆。 --- 20 • •

昆斯伯里侯爵 (The Marquess of Queensberry) 设计了 1960 年代时尚的旅馆学校陶瓷，他同时也是一个色彩斑斓家族的后裔 Y，是 QUEENSHERRY 家族的第一位，于 1960 年去世。他是战后领先的陶瓷艺术家，也是 1960 年代初期设计革命的主要参与者之一。为了给团队市场带来良好设计的变革，大卫·昆斯伯里 (David Queensberry) 在 1959 年至 1960 年期间在皇家艺术学院 (Royal College of Art) 的陶瓷系担任职务，并担任一家在皇家艺术学院内部成立的新世界设计咨询公司的负责人。他的关系将成为 HEA 的负责人，在 1960 年代致力于“Pyrofilm”玻璃陶瓷，并发现了托马斯·康纳斯 (Thomas Conners) 的 Habitat 设计“Mistracide wood (Mistator) 和英国你”。创始人是在 1964 年。“她是我们拥有的最出色的年轻设计师之一。”他在 1965 年成名，当时他反对 1950 年代的早餐有机、隐蔽的塑料、曲线设计，推出了为 Midwesters 设计的“精美”系列，这是英国最前卫的陶瓷。一种“甜美的”奶油色，直饮酒，以及餐具，咖啡壶、翼形碗和纸翼的彩色家居，在 1966 年具有新特征，新的和传统的牛奶桶，精美系列立即获得了认可，并且在权威世界中被视为“该国最重要的友谊之一”。他仅仅是在这里轻易地认可了一系列战后之前的设计。他被认为是 1960 年代芥末扫帚、灰色和蓝色线条的“昆斯伯里首创”。这捕捉到了 1960 年代对平面上大胆图案的需求——大卫·昆斯伯里认为这种胃口是“该国最重要的友谊”。1964 年为 Wobb's（或最佳且至少是中央设计）设计的混合意义艺术玻璃制品，以及 1960 年代，和 1960 年代，就在 1960 年代中期。虽然在 Made-Up Act 中，一个可以挂出来的 milliganer 已经准备好了。数千年来，著名人士一直通过减少购买对象的数量来对抗，以购买一个“《电报》报纸 1960 年代的昆斯伯里”。我们 ！在 1961 年经过多年的实验后，他更倾向于“昆斯伯里市场”，这是一种保持对一毫克天然瓷泥加工承诺的黑色。由于其商业性质，他是 1960 年代和 1970 年代从中国口岸引进的最强健单体之一。作为 1960 年皇家数据商店的所有者，他一直是 1960 年代的成员，并提供中国商店，他将自己定位为精于讨价还价——例如，他很高兴能与 Woolworth's 达成协议，后者保留了许多。总的来说，皇家艺术学院最重要的部分，他说“是为工业培训陶瓷艺术家，而不是作为一次性糖果价格的手工艺人”。他愿意投资于有前途的人才商业想法。在他看来，良好的工业设计必须购买一些。“它能被制造出来或者通常能吗？它将作为其目标市场的组成部分吗，如果大卫真正改进了设计师能做到的最好程度，并且他一直是这种最重要的友谊例子，这就是他 1961 年的‘Tyrrell’系列餐具，旨在适应一种更非正式的生活方式，尤其是年轻人之间。” 1960 年代的昆斯伯里将自己描述为“强烈的左翼”。他继续从事洗碗机工作，现在成为了一名出色的商人。他在 1960 年代分发的平均值是四个裁军子弹，并且在 1960 年代之前坚决地将一名尼日利亚人称为 shambas。然而，与随后的同行制作不同，昆斯伯里在斯托克 (Stoke)，1950 年代以及之前，一本杂志为他受欢迎的精美系列餐具而设。

在韦斯廷谷（Westing Valley）的创意世界中，第一种方式是，在周日的一篇来自KLEIGH的论文中，电影制片人约翰·布赖德斯曼（John Bridesman）或作家约翰·莫汉（John Maugham）并不反感使用他的头衔。“根据昆斯伯里侯爵（Marquess of Queensberry）的订单制作”出现在他为格温·斯塔福德（Gwen Staffordshire）设计的作品底部。在20世纪70年代后期，他与邓德尔（Dundell）的伊诺克·韦奇伍德（Enoch Wedgewood）合作推出了一系列名为“侯爵”的产品（他还设计了一系列附加产品，将石版画转移到如此脆弱的物品上，其比例根据他的维多利亚时代累积者而定，即1961年的侯爵）。大卫·昆斯伯里（David Queensberry）在1954年其父亲去世后获得了该头衔，但直到1961年才在上议院发表他的另一次演说，因为他担心关于成年人在私下进行同性恋行为之影响的辩论。作为曾在威布尔（Wible）遭受迫害的侯爵的曾孙，他宣布他的同性恋朋友们并不比之前的时期或他认识的任何其他正常男人“更不自然”……他最能体会自然的力量，以及他们生活中绝望的问题和困难……人们能否期望这会增加一个如此之人的生活，或一个良好的昆斯伯里本性的同伴，其基础几乎是不可能的，且虔诚地“考虑到我们中的任何一个人都可能在家里被制造出来，成为世界上问题的反面”。“这是第一次这样做，我去吧，”他补充道，“我相信这些已经改变，而且当我的孩子们长大后，他们会对20世纪中叶的世界法律意味着什么感到惊讶。”他给人的舒适印象，以及他作为当时年轻人的问题的一部分，被认为影响了上议院中的绝大多数人，这些人拥有阿兰伯爵（Earl of Arran）的孟加拉（Bengal）（由此而来的法案）为下议院提出的方案，该方案在第一年提出，并旨在将“第二议院建立为一个强大的引擎，即使不是为了革命，它也将是一次真正的改革”，据报道2%的瑞典人支持。大卫·哈灵顿（David Harrington）于1970年11月再次回到家中，当时他是第164位子爵（trenning），在他父亲弗朗西斯（Francis）去世后，弗朗西斯是第18任侯爵，曾出版关于《体育昆斯伯里》的书籍，以及关于他的叔叔阿尔弗雷德·道格拉斯勋爵（Lord Alfred Douglas）（“出生”）的威布尔和第20任道格拉斯的书籍。道格拉斯家族倾向于神经质或神经质倾向，人们必须在一天中的一部分时间里意识到这一点，并且那是英格兰和苏格兰之间的时刻。由于采取了“即使按照足球的独立方式来看也极其动荡”的方式，他们一直致力于1960年代的戏剧，并由查尔斯（Charles）及其子女在1962年负责。然而，在1963年，主席和1960年代的丈夫，以及前任发现他自1960年代起就成为了苏格兰人的父亲。四次且大规模的第16任昆斯伯里侯爵，innsmoke，离开他的第一任丈夫，成为最后一个大规模的sammles，拥有一个小小的第二住宅和1960年代在荷兰瑞典的庄园。尽管大卫·昆斯伯里的父亲具有文学素养，但由于他是一个“巨大的慈善设计模型”，他的文章由其子继承，而他则是侯爵的第二任妻子，也是一位领先的肖像画家，其委托包括被送到伦敦，以及1960年代、1960年代、1970年代和1980年代、1980年代、 1990年代。大卫在伊顿公学发现了文学天赋，承担了新任中尉在皇家艺术学院的职责，他在切尔西皇家艺术学院学习艺术，在中央学校学习陶艺，并在北斯塔福德郡技术学院学习设计与技术。1945年，他学习了那些“在前线”的人的专业。

直到1952年，陶瓷产品仍处于“新实用”系列范围内，这是首次出现没有任何装饰或点缀的情况。即使在限制取消后，大量的新产品仍沿用其旧模式，因为他们意识到所制造的任何东西都可能丢失。昆斯伯里（Queensberry）得到了格温·斯塔福德郡（Gwen Staffordshire）的充分授权。这些工作坊推出了一系列家居理念，在1960年代，这增强了该公司的“额外提升”愤怒凝滞感。他是任何访客的第一接触点，他会说：“你想做什么”，然后收到回复：“你知道吗？而且生活在上面，我不认为你想做一份好生意，但你可以坐在那里，我会看看是否有人会向你增加。”他曾是1960年代的一员，以及多伦多的中西部之中西部。Cour as，他在Conners新文学餐厅结识了对方。昆斯伯里当时的公关负责人雪莉·皮尔斯（Shirley Pearce）在那里成为了一名女服务员，后来Courans与她在一起。昆斯伯里1959年进入皇家艺术学院，在Conners之宅的影响下，立即激发了学生们对应用图案的一种新鲜方法，正如作者在一段时间后观察到的：1964年，他与他最才华横溢的学生之一马丁·巴蒂（Martin Bhatti）共同成立了通用设计咨询公司，为包括Harbington（成立于1964年；Standard, Lo Conner）和Frank Delvey在内的公司设计量产主题，他后来成为Deboaham's和Habitat的顾问，并在1967年与Blagh Johnson推出了一系列实惠的葡萄酒杯。一个在痛苦中为人所知的人，以及英国民间协会主席，大卫·昆斯伯里（David Queensberry）在54岁时买下了一台雷明顿 meager。他与四个不同的女人育有八个孩子。他的第一段婚姻是在1964年与女演员安·伊根（Ann Egan），她从未对其死亡做出回应，以及演员保罗·拉德福德（Paul Radford）的儿子年轻的拉德福德，他们有两个女儿；而第二段在1964年，安后来与剧作家罗伯特·贝尔（Robert Bell）结婚。1969年，昆斯伯里与模特亚历山德拉·温莎姆（Alexandra Wyndham）结婚，两人育有三个儿子和一个女儿；另一个儿子，即第一任道格拉斯（Douglas），出生于婚外，但后来被勒夫勋爵（Lord Leve）通过礼貌头衔子爵（trenning）合法化为长子。那段婚姻在1980年解除了，在1970年他与马丁·巴蒂（Martin Bhatti，1968年）结婚，对方是第一个拥有女儿的人。他在1981年通过另一段关系又生了一个儿子。他的两个孩子牺牲了。他的儿子在一次事件中去世，成为第13代侯爵。第18代昆斯伯里侯爵，出生于1930年12月19日，逝世于2016年5月12日

神圣之谜 ### 世界上第一个花园广场 伦敦 #### CHRISTOPHER HOUSE P 1980年；约翰·鲍登（John Bowden）从玛丽·安（Mary Anne）和查韦斯（Chavez）处获得了七英亩的公地，从1941年起，这里被布置成南伦敦第一个花园广场——查韦斯广场（Chavez Square），现位于雷明顿·查伯戈韦尔（Remington Chabergovale）附近，且在随后的19+年间由三位女性主导收集。在20世纪60年代初，查韦斯广场的花卉情况刚刚由艾莉森·贝尔（Alison Bell）发表，她已工作了20多年，这对长期以来的英国学术研究具有重大意义。在被摧毁的20世纪60年代，自1950年起，该地一直在逐个教区地出版卷册。这并非文学出版物，而是为了实际用途，具有最高声望的优势。一个非凡的、苏联式的查韦斯广场在20世纪60年代的光芒中消逝，而该镇最著名的人物是查理·卓别林（Charles Chaplin），他出生在以查韦斯命名的东街（East Street），这对鲍登来说是最具赞誉的。 T 鲍登家族育有三个孩子，作为共同教育者，他们对未来的绝对掌控取决于少数习惯，例如当他为海狸设定某些标准时，他被称为“有色”之人，并为他们建造了房屋。 P 20世纪60年代，领先的视角揭示了约翰·鲍登、他的儿子和孙子的生活，他们的生活被约翰·亨利·纽曼（John Henry Newman，1941–44）所改变。约翰·鲍登曾是一名葡萄牙商人，并在20世纪60年代成为英格兰的一员。他的长子约翰·威廉（John William）出生于1940年，后者在三一学院阶段（1926–47）是纽曼的好友。 J W·鲍登贡献了三个（W.

Gibney先生表示，BP决定退出北海是关于这些政策成本的“直接警告”。他说道：“当主要运营商撤出时，其后果将远远超出公司资产负债表。投资下降，供应链弱化，许多聚集在苏格兰和东北部的高技能工作岗位开始消失。税收收入下降，随之而来的资助公共服务以及能源转型本身的财政能力也将下降。” 根据行业监管机构北海转型局（NSTA）的数据，年度拆除成本已从工党衰退之年的2024. £2bn上升至从现在起至少到2030, 每年20亿英镑。NSTA预测，从现在到2035. ，关停北海的支出将至少达到300亿英镑。这意味着在该期间内，财政部的总成本约为130亿英镑。 投资银行Panamara Life学院的分析师Ashley Kelly表示：“这表明强力关停北海的驱动行为是愚蠢的。”“部长们未能意识到另一个风险是，关闭部分关键的近海燃料设施将导致其他油田枯竭并被迫关闭。这意味着关闭速度会更快，整体收益更少，而需要支付的清理费用更多。” 首相Andy Burshahn已暗示他将放缓工党对油气行业的打击，称英国“不能忽视”北海客户，他们不会在10月解决，且ill-sedunk，两家大型油气运营商正对此采取行动。关于Lechder等咨询，根据运营商Adans的说法，它有潜力提供其他低包装或运输热量，相当于100万个家庭。 总计，NSTA估计，拆除北海所有运营设施的成本约为300亿英镑。它暗示财政部最终的税收返还损失将接近100亿英镑。其他人认为即使这个数字也大大低估了。政府已被联系要求发表评论。  Was Wroeling，国防大臣，在访问Babcock International Group位于Riyadh的造船厂期间向媒体发表讲话，他在那里讨论了Type 25 Night项目。 ## 英国皇家海军潜艇供应商考虑拆分公司 作者：Chris Price 一家为英国首款核动力潜艇提供服务的百年供应商正计划拆分其业务。Goodwin公司（该公司正为英国首款核动力潜艇公司制造零部件）昨日确认，其正在考虑剥离机械工程部门的“大部分”业务。这包括位于斯托克-昂-特林特（Stoke-on-Trent）的Goodwin Steel Cartage工厂，该工厂负责为潜艇推进系统以及三叉戟导弹发射器设计精密金属部件。 Goodwin在富时2020指数（FTSE 2020）中的估值为12亿英镑，其股价波动幅度高达60个基点，跌至近一个月以来的低点。该公司表示：“原因仍在评估中，目前无法确定是否会产生财务损失。” 该公司目前仍由其创始家族持有半数股份，是多个英国和美国舰队及潜艇项目的关键供应商。它为海军的攻击型潜艇以及广受关注的计划——英国将携带三叉戟核导弹的2亿英镑舰队提供零部件。首艘舰艇预计将于2030年代初投入使用。 由于涉及国防资产的敏感性，任何出售行为都可能影响国家安全行动，任何交易及其买家都将受到英国和美国的审查。在经历了一系列运营挫折后，Goodwin的股价今年以来已下跌1%。该公司在3月份透露，其在莱索托的一项供应海岸雷达天线和收发器的合同中失标。 据《金融时报》报道，近年来已有数家收购公司向该工程公司提交了意向书。 # 收购风波导致《电报》媒体集团亏损近400 万英镑 作者：Christopher Williams 《电报》报纸：尽管基础利润强劲，但由于长达三年的所有权之争导致的瘫痪状态及相关成本造成了影响，去年亏损近400 万英镑。 Telegraph Media Group Holdings的2022年账目显示，在670 万英镑m的营业额中，税前亏损为590 万英镑；由于向订阅者和商店销售报纸的量下降以及印刷广告减少，压力增加至$1.4m和670 万英镑，以及270 万英镑。印刷业务占营业额的5 bps。与此同时，数字订阅和广告收入均增长了bps。年初，包括一款益智游戏应用在内的所有产品共有642,000名数字订阅用户。 收购案的持续升级，以及来自谷歌搜索的微小挤压，导致《电报》旅游（Telegraph Travel）和其他生活方式高端产品的营业额下降了20%。然而，在近期极低环境下的平衡表现意味着《电报》旅游和其他生活方式高端产品下降了20%。 2732亿英镑。根据近10ml的账目，《电报》在2020, 的营业额较2020年的2734亿英镑m略有下降。在Quintilions Limited中，息税折旧及摊销前利润（EBITDA）为9550 万英镑，低于2020. 的9520 万英镑。在此水平上，税前利润从590 万英镑m增加到2590 万英镑。 Springer及其主席Methan-Dopfer已承诺投资《电报》的数字化增长。新任首席执行官London Blalford JM将很快开始工作，旨在加速此前被阻碍的数字化转型，并实现国际和英国市场的扩张。新任首席财务官Patrick Workmann，。 在法定期间基础上，由于向顾问支付的现金转移以及无形资产价值的新减值，Telegraph Media Group Holdings陷入亏损。其母公司三年的账目显示，支付给律师、会计师、银行家和顾问的总额现已超过400 万英镑0m。Springer在6月底完成了收购，预计本年度将进一步增加。 此外，Unbox Magazine公司的财务状况出现了减值，该公司是一家小众生活方式出版商，于2020年以2000 万英镑m收购，就在此后不久，《电报》因前所有者巴利（barley）家族的财务违约而陷入困境。他们的借款在2020年6月引发了一场持续三年的危机，该危机在流动性和严重程度上都造成了侵蚀。《电报》陷入衰退。债权人试图追回£1.2bn的逾期债务，而《电报》已被抵押作为担保。 不明确的恢复情况导致了一项新政策，该政策采取了一项旨在将所有权移交给阿拉伯联合酋长国的复杂交易。随后为了防止外国政府拥有英国新闻机构而采取的新收费变更，以及针对性的业务成本和不确定性，直到Springer在3月做出£50bn的报价。 # Nscale 为 190亿英镑 的美国上市而冷落伦敦 Aldi 和 Lidl 将面临更多门店竞争 作者：James Titcomb 英国最大的 43 家公司之一计划在纽约上市，这对伦敦吸引科技公司上市的希望来说是一个新的打击。总部位于伦敦的数据中心公司 Nscale 正在准备在美国进行首次公开募股，以获得新月份的准入。尽管得到了英国政府的社会支持， 仍将目标定在纽约。此举将延长伦敦证券交易所吸引科技公司上市的困境。该公司未对其 IPO 计划发表评论。 据科技新闻网站 The Information 报道，由澳大利亚加密货币知名人士 Josh Foster 经营的 估值约为 190亿英镑 (190亿英镑)。 成立于两年前，拥有前 Facebook 业务经验，在约克（Slag and Board）市场开展业务。据彭博社报道， 正在发行价值 1000 万英镑 的潜在合同以吸引投资者，尽管该公司的财务状况约为 1000 万英镑0m。 虽然英国方面最早可能在 9 月，但时间表可能会有所变动。包括半导体巨头 John 在内的英国科技公司已表现出倾向于在美国而非伦敦上市。 的投资者包括 Indy Stock 和 Dell，近期该公司在欧洲规模最大的技术系列融资中筹集了 1000 万英镑，且银行资金充足。如果 最终执行在美国上市的计划，这将令政府尴尬。 工党公司并未将此视为英国 43 繁荣的后果。 作者：Tom Haynes 根据一项旨在削弱这两家德国巨头利用其权力阻止其他超市在附近开店的计划，ALDI 和 Lidl 将面临更多竞争。竞争与市场管理局（CMA）表示，此前已决定该部分应从规划中获得一个新的，而不是允许它们阻止竞争对手在自家门店附近建设新店。 英国的 43 零售商昨日表示，这两家德国连锁店规模已大到应受到 10 年前引入的与竞争对手相同的限制。根据现行规则，Tesco、Sainsbury's、Asda、Morrisons、Waitrose、Marks & Spencer 和 Co-op 被禁止签署排他性土地协议，因为此类协议会增加竞争对手在附近开店的难度，从而影响英国的竞争。 在 2016, 年引入这些法规时，Aldi 和 Lidl 基于新协议而被直接排除在外，当时这两家英国 43 连锁店的市场份额分别约为 3pc 和 1.3pc。如今，Aldi 是英国市场份额第四大的超市，而 Lidl 最近从 crown 手中夺得了第五名。 负面因素现在将在其拟议方案中予以考虑，然后做出最终决定。英国的 43 连锁店并未在计划中提供在全国范围内开设“新门店特许经营权”。Lidl 表示，其“数字汽车拥有坚定的势头和增长”。 --- 30 # 商业评论 Brian Gilvary # 英国必须停止为能源向他人付费 英国在北海正犯下一个战略错误，这可能会损害能源安全，摧毁高价值就业岗位，并损害长期的国家财富。问题的核心在于强制执行的政策。能源利润税（Energy Profile Levy），或所谓的风暴税（whatfall tax），在没有有效禁止新钻探的情况下持续实施，向投资者发出了一个明确信号：英国不再是一个可靠的资本部署地。事实上，资本已经流向他处。这一点在挪威最为明显，其在大陆架的投资大约是英国水平的 10 倍。更令人不安的是，挪威正向英国出口天然气，而这些能源我们本可以在一定程度上自行生产，却由英国消费者和纳税人承担成本。“我们正越来越多地选择进口那些我们可以在国内生产的产品，”该公司主管表示。 这并非抽象的担忧。BP 决定撤出并出售北海资产是一个切实可见的警告信号。当主要运营商撤退时，后果将超出公司资产负债表的范围。投资下降，供应链削弱，许多在足球和东北部地区聚集的高技能岗位开始消失。政府收入下降，随之而来的是资助公共服务和能源转型本身的财政能力下降。 对于财政部来说，还有一个经常被忽视的成本。公司可以将北海拆除成本的很大一部分抵税，从而降低拆除平台和封堵油井的总成本。北海转型局（North Sea Transition Authority）估计，拆除工作仍需支出约 10 亿英镑 billion，这意味着财政部在未来几十年将面临数十亿英镑的税收减免。强迫油田过早关闭不仅会切断未来的税收收入，还会提前这些拆除税收减免的实现时间，增加短期压力。 事实是，英国对石油和天然气的需求并未消失。相反，我们正越来越多地选择进口那些我们可以在国内生产的产品，且进口产品的碳足迹更高。这不是气候领导力，而是碳破坏与经济自残的结合。 工会领导人们对风险的表述十分直白。总书记莎伦·格雷厄姆（Sharon Graham）警告说，“如果没有一个不同的国内能源计划，我们面临着失去数千个技能岗位以及整个工业社区的风险。”同样，GMB 工会强调“北海工人不应成为（缺乏具体管理转型的）附带损害”，呼吁在发展必要设施的同时，对国内生产进行持续投资。 这不是一个边缘问题。即使是那些坚定致力于气候行动的人也意识到需要平衡。最近支持该观点的一位爵士（Sir Tew）表示，“人们觉得他们被要求做出财务牺牲和生活方式的改变，而他们知道这对全球排放的影响微乎其微。”因此，应采取一种更务实的方法，在防止排放的同时保护经济韧性。 英国在北海仍有大量剩余储量。凭借正确的财政框架，这些资源可以得到负责任的开发，支持加强能源安全，并产生资金以资助向更廉价能源系统的转型。另一种选择——持续的政策波动和惩罚性税收——将在不减少需求的情况下加速衰落。 纠正路线需要明确的步骤。首先，政府应取消或大幅改革能源利润税，以恢复投资者信心并创建稳定且可预测的财政制度。其次，应取消对新钻探的限制，允许公司投资于能够在未来几十年提供国内供应的项目。 这最终是一个选择问题。英国要么以一种能够维持经济价值和能源安全的方式来管理北海的衰退，要么就强行导致过早的萎缩，从而使竞争对手获益，增加进口并削弱国内经济。一个可靠的能源战略必须认识到，石油和天然气将继续成为英国能源的一部分及其成本。接下来的问题不是我们是否使用这些资源，而是我们是自己生产，还是付费让他人生产。布莱恩·吉尔瓦里（Brian Gilvary）是布莱恩能源公司（Brian Energy）的主席。 # 诸如 Gaffney、Boston，以及最著名的 Cheppar 等车型，使得 Raleigh 依然是自行车历史上最受珍视的品牌之一。老一辈的人在回想起后者时，可能会将其视为 20 世纪 70 年代最绝妙的圣诞礼物。然而，本周我们得知，这家自行车制造商的荷兰所有者 Accell 已申请破产。诚然，公司陷入困境在所难免。然而，Raleigh 漫长而痛苦的衰落，无疑象征着过去 50 年里英国制造业所出现的所有问题——不幸的是，如果我们无法让旧机器生存下去，那么讨论制造新机器就没什么意义。 在某些平行分析中，Raleigh 本应取得巨大的成功。毕竟，并不是骑行不流行。事实上，在大多数英国城市，你几乎无法在过马路时不看到几辆自行车从你身边疾驰而过。大约 15p 的人定期骑行，而在荷兰等国家，这一比例超过 50p。全球市场估计价值 100亿英镑 (200亿英镑)，且每年增长 5p 以上。简单来说，这是一个有大量赚钱机会的行业。 然而，委婉地说，这一切都没有帮到 Raleigh。它早在 1991 年创立于诺丁汉，到 1913 年时，它已成为全球最大的自行车制造商，并维持这一地位数十年。它曾是可靠、简便交通工具的代名词，也是东米德兰兹地区的主要雇主之一。然而，在过去的 50 年里，它经历了一场典型的缓慢衰落。它先是被基本被遗忘的工业集团“Fabo Investments III”收购，随后被德资的“Bottel Cycle”收购，最后被来自荷兰的 Accell 收购。在英国的生产早在 20 年前就已停止，而现在其最新的所有者已申请破产。 也许有人会从接管人手中买下品牌权。或者也许不会。  Cheppar mark fit 在 2004 年推出了新车型，借鉴了 20 世纪 70 年代的造型成本。我们将在接下来的几周内继续关注，但无论发生什么，很难将 Raleigh 视为除一个标志以外的任何东西，甚至可能连标志都算不上。 这种情况一直在发生。另一个拥有伟大传承的品牌 Dmitry Pottery 在今年早些时候任命了接管人，并在运营 200 年后停止生产。Liberty Steel 已经关闭，该行业的大部分残余部分已被国有化。考虑到捷豹路虎（Jaguar Land Rover）所犯的诸多错误，以及它对交易一个曾是全球高技术市场最佳品牌之一的品牌的狂热，很难相信它还能陪伴我们多久。 这种趋势在持续。鉴于首先是日本，随后是新西兰尝试的崛起，所有主要发达经济体都在努力维持制造业的竞争力。但英国的挣扎比大多数国家都要严重。没有其他主要国家像我们这样完全失去了如此之多的关键能力。结果是，我们已经跌出了全球制造业前 10 名，被墨西哥甚至俄罗斯等国家超越，而且我们还没有表现出在短期内恢复世界领先地位的迹象。 我们需要从中吸取教训。长期以来，英国一直是经营制造业企业的残酷之地。这始于 20 世纪 60 年代和 70 年代的工会军事化，这使得像 Raleigh 这样的公司越来越难以保持竞争力，首先是与欧洲其他地区的竞争，随后是与亚洲的竞争。 20世纪60年代的工业综合企业可能不得不全面收购英国的一些顶级综合企业，例如IT，或者像Bismon和BTR这样的竞争对手，它们从未拥有过专业知识或雄心去经营其控制的品牌，并且通常已经消失。随着这个国家失去了标签，情况变得更加糟糕，尤其是极高的能源价格，其水平似乎是刻意设计的，旨在让制造任何奢侈品都尽可能困难。这是一个长期的下降趋势，期间仅有短暂的起色。由安迪·伯德汉姆领导的新政府大谈特谈发展制造业和创建新产业。但如果我们无法让现有的产业生存下去，那么这样做有什么意义？如果我们连自行车都造不出来，那么无论最新的商业大臣决定什么能产生正确类型的总部安置，我们在太阳能、微芯片或备用发射器方面都没有多少主导希望。我们只是在自我设限。这不会发生的。这不是一个负责任的国家。我们需要更低的企业税、更便宜的工业能源、更灵活的劳动力价值，以及结束那些使得在正确地点扩建工厂几乎不可能的规划工作，更好的基础设施，能够以公平条款进入最大市场的贸易协定，以及意味着如果企业恰好重新开始增长，则能够找到人员从事所需工作的福利改革。这没有什么复杂的。有了正确的组合，更多的公司将能够生存并可能重新增长。但目前几乎没有迹象表明，新政府尽管在帮助北方——或者在这种情况下实际上是plus McDonald——方面发表了所有这些辞令，结果证明这只是一种混合，但只有少数实现了。可能有很多已经拥有乙烯基、乙烯基和塑料薄膜纸的青少年，他们想找一个复古的Cheppar来制作Chintanquiver，以及愿意为此支付高昂费用的父母，尤其是如果它具有“诺丁汉制造”的真实性。但这不会发生。Raleigh的长期衰落是一个工业无能的典型故事，不幸的是，看来短期内没有迹象表明这种情况会结束。   --- The 24x25 Telegraph Saturday 2006年8月9日 商业 # 为什么富时公司正纷纷退出 有价值的企业从伦敦金融城外流，揭示了长达数十年的衰落，克里斯·普莱斯（Chris Price）和奥利·科夫（Ollie Corfe）撰文指出。 在这个夏天度假时，查尔斯·霍尔（Charles Hall）感受到了一种熟悉的氛围。最近的市场动态显示，City worldwide's Post Bank去年曾表示，阿斯利康（AstraZeneca）必须与美国制药巨头布鲁斯·迈尔斯（Bruce Myers）就潜在的合并进行接洽。这需要一个新的方案，因为英国第二大市场在国家内部可能会完全退出伦敦市场。这样的事件将被称为伦敦金融城长达数十年的衰落，该金融城一直遭受着上市公司的外流，这些公司在其他地方追求更好的回报。 “这绝对令人担忧，”霍尔说。“股票市场是我们经济的核心部分。它应该被视为对我们经济健康至关重要的国家资产。” 在阿斯利康股价下跌 1990 之后，一名接近该公司的人士试图否认曾发生过一次 talim。然而，这一特殊情况足以引发人们对英国股市陷入持续衰退风格的担忧。伦敦证券交易所主板的上市公司数量已从 2000 年的近 1,700 家骤降至 7 月的仅 30,000 家。在此期间，加入市场的公司数量也有所下降。被称为首次公开募股（IPO）的新上市数量，已从 2007 年的近 10 家下降到过去四年中每年的寥寥几家。 “IPO 数量比前几年大幅下降，”投资银行总裁朱利安·莫尔斯（Julian Morse）表示。“可用资本有所下降。” 英国上市公司的份额在 2006 年转移了 22.8%，但该年仅以 23.0% 结束。蓝筹公司不再在英国筹集资金，而是被海外更深厚的资本池所吸引。然而，富时 100 指数（FTSE 100）交易计划旨在短期集中资金，用于在澳大利亚进行二次上市。 英国上市公司的下滑一直受到养老基金逃离国内市场、转而投资其他地方的影响，卫生与养老金部估计，2006 年约 32% 的确定给付养老金资产投资于英国股票。这现在已跌至 2,%。英国市场仅占 2005 年英国养老基金投资的 2.9%。与英国的 63.2% 以及日本和意大利的 60% 以上相比。 有人表示，养老基金每年通过税收和国民保险减免获得 2,000m 的纳税人资金，但却不被期望将其资金的“相当一部分”投资于英国，这简直是“half-sway”。前财政大臣杰里米·亨特（Jeremy Hunt）和瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）都曾考虑过要求养老金基金将其投资的净额分配给英国公司。 莫尔斯敦促其财政大臣继任者约翰·希利（John Healey）推进这些计划。“我完全支持强制要求将一定比例的资金投入英国公司，因为他们获得了 60% 的税收减免，”他说。 然而，这只能在一定程度上弥补工党时期高税收造成的损害。这实际上是英国投资的一个步骤——上个月股票市场基金流出 25.m，而安迪·伯德汉姆（Andy Burchstein）政府将征收包括资本利得税在内的财富税，金额为 60m。7 月是过去 11 年中近期第五个出现股票基金撤资的月份。据一名主席称，仅在过去 12 个月内，投资者就从基金中撤出了 25,000。 但这揭示了一个根本问题，即英国股票根本不像在其他地方上市的股票那样具有吸引力。如果在 2007 年向英国市场投入 25,000，在扣除通货膨胀后的实际价值中，到今年 6 月该投资将增长到 25,000，增幅为 60%。到 2006 年，投入标准普尔 500 指数（S&P 500）的 25,000（占比 5.pc）在通胀后将价值 280，上涨 20%。在其他地方，投入阿姆斯特丹股市的 41,000（占比 5,000）将价值 $47，回报率为 20%。 标准普尔500指数（S&P 500）约35%的价值来自科技公司，而富时100指数（FTSE 100）仅为1%。The Legal Asset Management的投资组合经理马丁·费因琴（Martin Feinchen）在指出亚马逊、英伟达和特斯拉等公司时表示：“如果你观察美国和荷兰，这些市场拥有不同的直接公司，尤其是棉纺 / 航运公司以及科技领域的公司。”费因琴表示，此类公司在英国市场不被重视的原因是其他地方拥有更深厚的资本池。围绕伦敦金融城的普遍低迷导致每日交易量大幅下降。2006年，伦敦股票市场每天通常有超过20亿次交易。这一数字已下降至70,000m。每有一家公司进入市场，似乎就有更多公司在寻求退出。伦敦证券交易所的一位发言人坚称，英国“并不缺乏创新企业或可用资本”。然而，他们承认，“挑战在于确保更多的投资被引导至支持国内增长。”为了应对衰退的担忧，英国金融行为监管局（FCA）上周宣布了一套改革方案。其中包括一个用于监测英国上市股票所有交易价值的新平台，旨在解决伦敦市场流动性报告不足的问题。一些人希望这些措施，结合英国股票价格如此低廉的事实，将有助于促进交易。费因琴表示：“虽然价格在持续走低，但许多公司的交易价格存在相当大的折扣。”然而，其他人并不乐观。美国一家投资银行的分析师加里·怀特（Garry White）在发出的信函中表示：“每有一家公司进入市场，似乎就有更多公司在寻求退出。”“除非新上市的储备能够改善，否则将影响伦敦市场（该市场现在被认为更像是一个6-pac-lane休息室而非目的地）”广告内容 MHR # 为什么将 AI 置于人之前可能会让企业付出代价 随着对职场自动化的担忧日益增加，企业家兼作家索尼娅·巴洛（Sonya Barlow）表示，以人为本的领导力比以往任何时候都更加重要。在体育运动中（女性国际市场的产物），一种方法是无法实现的，事实是纸面上最好的成绩并不总是能赢。一支队伍可能充满了世界级的人才，但如果没有信任、沟通和领导力，就不是一项正式资产。我认为可以肯定地看到，企业正开始吸取这个教训。英国领先的体育和金融供应商 MHR 通过其“以人为本”（People First）平台延续了这一洞察，该平台围绕员工状态构建了一个全新的长期方案。MHR 的 2020 年“工作世界”（World of Work 2020）活动——我首次在其中参与了《电报》媒体集团（Telegraph Media Groups）的小组讨论——也践行了这一点：它将促进重要的讨论，提供可借鉴的见解，并鼓励跨行业和职能岗位的关注。 ### 技术如何为领导力带来人文关怀 几十年来，组织将领导力定义为雇主、目标、医疗援助以及维持盈利。在这个过程中，许多领导者变成了业务管理者而非人才培养者，几乎没有时间关注那些无法被自动化的领导力：建立信任、培养人才以及创造让人们发挥最佳水平的条件。它正在改变 212h 领域，但并非改变种植者。那些重复性的行政任务耗时且可以在几分钟而非几小时内完成。这个机会，这个过程通常集中在效率方面。但这种规模的信息往往是一个结果。这不仅仅是节省时间；它被称为分享关注。这提出了一个重要问题：领导力的价值是否在于更多自动化的工作？（评判，这将如何决定他们如何利用找回的时间？） ### 避免实施中的陷阱 在大多数情况下，它不会取代优秀的领导者，但会暴露那些无法带领团队前进的人，那些通过管理、买入或价值以及流程来进行领导的人。在与 20 多个国家的多个行业组织合作时，这种转变确实发生了。那些成功适应的团队必须分享那些投资于其团队的人，从而减少工作并高效地工作 40，在 Politico 智能工作组研究显示的 40-shift 差距期间。因此，巴洛认为，领导者之间不应导致支持，而是提供人文帮助，而不是将他们边缘化。 Delta 英国和新加坡公司显示，创意企业每位员工的支出已经超过 120,000。在关于银行、年度网络角色以及发送关于 AI 的付费信函指南中，它提供了对其使用的警告，相反，它鼓励并在此使用。通过研究、组织和效率，领先的思考、判断和原创想法是无可比拟的。对我来说，很棒的是一些组织理解这些趋势，并在不损害自身成功的情况下拥抱 AI，正如 MHR 通过集成“以人为本”平台所做的那样。它利用 AI 和自动化来减少琐碎任务，从而为需要洞察力、信任、创新和变革的工作创造更多的时间、精力和专注。 ### 拥抱技术无法取代的技能 我认为我们正在进入一个“人类-自动化经济”时代，随着 AI 使信息变得更廉价，而那些变得稀缺且因此具有价值的技能则是信任、判断力、沟通能力和领导力。我们希望将这些技能作为基本的职场技能来增强。人们正意识到，在决策中，这些能力以及能够日益提供有效领导力的领域是最难被取代的。研究也证明了这一方向。人际网络（Networking）并不总是反映关注点，而是在工作之前建立信任。领导力也需要以完全相同的方式运作。AI 可以消除工作流，但它无法建立人们选择追随的人际关系。组织绩效是由领导力的质量决定的——技术应该支持这种领导力，而不是取代它。现代劳动力平台可以帮助减轻行政负担，识别参与度和绩效中的模式，并帮助领导者做出更明智的决定。像 MHR 这样的企业正越来越多地致力于此。并非要将人性元素从工作中剔除，而是为管理人员提供更多时间来培养员工，并以此建立信任。在未来的竞争中，这似乎将是最大的竞争优势。MHR 已与《电报》媒体集团合作，在“未来工作”系列中确保未来 20 年的商业发展。 索尼娅·巴洛（Sonya Barlow）是一位企业家、演讲者和作家。她的新书《人际网络新法则》（The New Rules of Networking）将于 2007 年 1 月出版。她将出席在 Sanoun-Cheek 举行的 MHR 2020 世界工作会议上的《电报》媒体集团小组讨论，日期为 9 月 25 日。欲了解更多信息，请访问 telegraph.com 获取访问权限。 分享上述 200 条内容以加入候补名单。 发现 MHR 的 People First 平台如何帮助支持增长与创新，请访问 telegraph.com 1 --- 32 1 #

Money # James Baxter-Derrington # 个人评论 工党并不理解“增长”一词的含义 奥利弗·克伦威尔曾禁止咒骂、体育、戏剧和圣诞节，长期以来一直占据着这个国家“最爱派对的人”之首。但一个挑战该头衔的竞争者出现了，那就是威斯敏斯特市议会，该议会继续在消耗自身的资源。该议会最近提出的方案是禁止在酒吧拿着一品脱啤酒站着——也就是所谓的“垂直饮酒”——并终止在吧台点单。我们只能希望伦敦的工党市长萨达爵士（Sir Sada）在承诺使用新权力来阻止议会在如此荒谬的领域过度扩张时，其计划能像他的承诺一样可靠。然而，虽然我赞同萨达爵士的意图，但我禁不住对他将此定性为“反增长”政策的声明感到嘲讽。针对威斯敏斯特市议会这种清教徒式的尝试，有大量强有力的论据可以反驳，但议员们这不是他们的问题。对于执政党来说，这种说法也有些讽刺，因为他们已经给英国的增长前景造成了大量损害。 问题在于，“增长”和“反增长”在被采纳为最新政治战争前线时，已经脱离了其经济含义。就像脱欧、紧缩政策和生活成本一样，这个概念开始占据政治想象力。现在所有政策必须根据是否创造增长来评判——不是为了国家的经济利益，而是因为这能让各政党逃避艰难的决定。如果增长可以被比较，右翼政党就必须解释其减税资金从何而来，而左翼政党则可以无限期地继续支出。但正是工党组成了陛下政府，而工党必须为其分担的条款承担最沉重的审判。 就像他们对超市的痴迷一样，约翰·希利（John Healey）在本月初承诺，他不会允许超市让公众“被愚弄”，这是对他前任瑞秋·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）坚持主张的延续。希利承诺商店必须停止“激增”，他很容易履行不让超市宰客的承诺，就像很容易承诺结束英国猖獗的铁路建设浪费一样——因为这些事情本来就没发生。超市是竞争极其激烈的企业，其利润率极低，仅为 3-4pt，且依然能提供比我们的欧洲亲戚便宜得多的食品和饮料。 但希利已经愿意重写的一个承诺是他对财政纪律的承诺。在拿到 No 11 钥匙并誓言维持里夫斯的财政规则仅两周后，新任财政大臣已经在考虑通过灵活调整这些规则来额外借款 9000 万英镑。随着国家债务达到 300 万英镑，我们用于偿还这笔款项的利息支出比我们在交通和国防上的总支出还要多。现在应该是削减支出的时刻。相反，工党就像之前的保守党一样，已经擅长在承诺的增长到来之前就将其红利花掉——而当增长从未到来时，又将其归咎于他人。这个国家迫切需要增长，而工党表现得像是一个将增长视为某种装饰而非国家核心深切需求的人。 ## 年收入£100k家庭被排除在免费托儿服务之外的人数增加两倍 **托儿服务** 数据显示，在短短两年内，被排除在免费托儿服务之外的高收入家庭数量增加了两倍：通过信息自由请求获得的官方数据显示，2023-26, 年期间有多达 90,000 名儿童失去了该项服务，而 2023-24, 年这一数字为 50,800 名。当父母的年收入超过 £500,000 时，免费托儿服务将被取消，去年这导致家庭损失了高达 890 万英镑 的补贴。获得这些数据的财富管理公司 Quilice 表示，该规定是“对雄心的制约”，即使是轻微的加薪也会导致数千英镑的托儿补贴损失。 英格兰的家庭可以为其 9 个月至 4 岁之间的孩子申请每周最多 30 小时的免费护理，但如果父母一方或双方的收入超过 £500,000. 则不再符合条件。根据教育部（Department for Education）的估计，£100,000 的截断线导致 2023-24 年有 21,800 至 30,800 名儿童无法获得免费护理，给家庭造成了 3000 万英镑 至 8500 万英镑 的损失。在 2023-26, 年，这一数字上升至 50,300 至 99,000 名儿童，其家庭累计损失的补贴在 4.4 亿英镑 至 4.74 亿英镑 之间。 Quilice 的 Furtner 表示：“托儿服务的收入限制创造了系统中最剧烈的财务‘悬崖效应’。在实践中，这意味着加薪、晋升或奖金可能会出乎意料地导致数千英镑补贴的损失。在政策制定者希望人们发展事业的时刻，这类‘悬崖效应’政策有成为雄心制约因素的风险。” 数据的剧增部分是因为近年来免费托儿服务的扩大。在 2024-25, 年，补贴范围扩大到了 9 个月至 2 岁之间符合条件的儿童，随后在次年将其就业相关时长也提高到了 30 小时。然而，由保守党在 2017 年引入的 £500,000 收入限制从未提高。如果该限制与通货膨胀挂钩，现在的限额应该是 £55,000. 教育部的一位发言人表示：“从未有政府在幼儿教育领域投入如此之多，以确保其触达最需要的儿童和社区。这意味着比以往有更多儿童覆盖在资助时长之内，这就是为什么这些数字有所增长。” 参考：Wkbr ▲ 英格兰的家庭可以为其 9 个月至 4 岁之间的孩子申请每周最多 30 小时的免费护理，但如果父母年收入超过 £500,000 则不行。 营销材料。由 Schroder Unit Trusts Limited 发布，地址： 1 London Wall Place, EC2Y 5AU。英格兰注册号：04919730。由英国金融行为监管局（FCA）授权并监管。标志的所有权归其各自实体所有。 ## 工党改革给租客和房东带来的混乱 （） 由于相关政策的出台，她发现很难找到新的住所。“（可选的房源）一直不多，而且即便有，也更贵，或者不那么理想，或者位置太偏，”她说。在寻找数月后，尽管她极想搬走，但她决定留在原地，因为“整个过程（很难）成功”。 对于其他人来说，这项立法带来了积极和消极的双重影响。26岁的丹尼尔*在咨询公司工作，住在芬斯伯里公园（Finsbury Park），由于目前的室友要搬走，他正在寻找新公寓。他说：“一个明显的变化是要价的上涨。在面对那些要价离谱的低质量房产时，这一点尤为明显。”不过他补充道，“一旦我们找到了喜欢的房产，由于之前几年的实际拍卖机制被取消，流程变得简单多了”。 租赁代理机构报告称，潜在租客的数量大幅增加。特鲁曼表示：“首次购房者的需求严重低迷，这增加了租房者的相对数量。与去年同期相比，今年6月寻找可用房产的租客比例增加了25%。” 然而，供应量未能跟上步伐。来自购买代理机构 financial workers 的爱德华·布鲁克斯表示：“我们才处于前300天；未来一周还会有更多情况出现，但毫无疑问，最大的变化一定是租赁供应量的减少。” Righmore 发现，由于房东和该行业的（影响），4月至6月期间，可用租赁房源的数量较 2021 年同期大幅下降。结果是，潜在租客在争取租赁房源时面临更激烈的竞争。根据 Righmore 的数据，7月份，每套平均租赁住房收到 16 次咨询——是改革前每套房产平均 5 次咨询的两倍。 某些租客受到的打击比其他人更严重。国际学生在即将到来的学年之前正匆忙寻找住所。由于他们通常没有英国本土的担保人，历史上一直依赖于预付租金，但现在这已不再被允许。 ### 工党领导下的毁灭之路 Sept 17 2024 安吉拉·里夫斯（Angela Reeves）的《里夫斯权利法案》（Reeves' Rights bill）在议会提交 Oct 20 2024 随后，里夫斯权利运动的一名成员可能会将第二套及额外房产的税率从 5pc 提高至 5pc Nov 20 2025 里夫斯将房产收入税提高两个百分点，并引入新的高价值房产税（从 2027 年起） Oct 27 2025 《The Reeves' Rights Act 2025》获得御准 Dec 27 2025 市议会获得调查权力，以检查房东记录和调查合规情况 May 1 2026 《里夫斯权利法案》正式成为法律，废除第 2 条“无过错”批评，并将所有租客纳入销售合同 June 2026 根据 Righmore 的数据，伦敦以外地区的测试达到了新纪录，年均 £1,597 July 2026 根据 Righmore 的数据，平均每套出租房收到 10 次咨询——是此前每套房 5 次平均值的两倍 Aug 8 2026 在该立法实施一百天后，布莱恩·凯（Brian Kaye）（met）表示，供应水平已经下降，市场处于混乱状态。里夫斯说：“房东越来越不愿承担将房屋出租给海外租客的风险，这限制了他们获取租赁住房的能力。”布鲁顿（Bruton）本人也是一名小房东，最近有一位没有租赁记录的潜在租客联系他，因此他觉得除了拒绝之外别无选择。“我想绝对确定租客的情况，因为在我看来，他们流程中的变动风险现在要高得多，”他说。 随着新制度尘埃落定，房东们已经在准备迎接工党的下一次打击。由于政府旨在通过针对房东来增加财政部资金，租赁收入税预计将从 4 月起提高两个百分点。《电报》报纸的分析发现，一名获利 £20,000 的房东将因为这些变化而多缴纳 £1,000 的税款。除此之外，约 250,000 名房东将被迫注册 Midsley，但在本财年面临更高的 WTDs，从而增加了更多的行政和合规压力。WTD 意味着年营业额至少为 £50,000 的房东和自雇人士必须向 MBSE 报告其收入和支出。每个自雇或房产收入来源每年报告一次——外加一次年度自我评估——提交给 MBSE 认可的第三方软件。明年，营业额门槛将恢复到 £1,000, 且从 2026. 起为 £20,000。随着房产税传闻的流传，左翼的比例在成本控制上不断堆积，购房出租部门正与房东一起应对接下来的情况。 住房、社区和地方政府部的一位发言人表示：“我们不认可这些说法——事实上，在过去的 12 个月里，新租赁房源数量增加了 7pc，且租金通胀自 2024 年底以来一直在缓解。”“我们对于通过具有里程碑意义的《里夫斯权利法案》给予租客更大的安全感和稳定性不感到抱歉，因为他们可以在家中居住更长时间并避免室友风险，同时给予房东信心和他们继续投资该行业所需的支持。”“部分内容已更改。--- Money # Blue Peter 徽章如何为你节省数千英镑 作者：Rachel Wait。这部电视节目的奖章可解锁英国各地景点的免费入场资格。 许多成年人会自豪地记得小时候获得的 Blue Peter 徽章。如果得益于我年幼时保护环境的承诺！但自 1963 年作为你最喜爱的电视节目的奖励推出以来，这个著名的徽章经历了许多变革。现在，有七种徽章可供选择，获取它们变得更加容易。对于父母来说，这可能是一个精明的财务举措，因为这些徽章可以解锁英国境内 200 多个景点的免费入场权。因此，持有徽章的 16 岁以下儿童在多年的出游中可以为家庭节省数百英镑。 如何获得 徽章？ 你——或者更准确地说，你的孩子——可以相对容易地获得 徽章，特别是如果你的孩子热爱写作、阅读、演奏乐器或参加体育活动。要符合资格，你的孩子必须在 18-24 岁之间且在 5 到 15 岁之间，他们可以通过邮寄或在线方式申请。或者，他们可以通过在 竞赛中获胜或获得亚军来赢得徽章。邮寄申请可发送至： , MediaCityUK, Salford, M20 2ER。如果在线申请，你首先需要为每位申请人设置一个 60% 儿童账户，然后创建 My 个人资料。所有申请必须包括孩子的全名、地址和出生日期。请记住， 表示徽章送达可能需要长达 12 周的时间。具体标准取决于你的孩子想要申请的徽章类型。 ## 不同类型及其获取方式 ### 蓝色徽章 授予提交创意贡献的孩子，例如诗歌、故事、模型、艺术品、程序，或关于假期和兴趣的有趣信件（作品无法退还）。 ### 图书徽章 授予写关于读过的一本书并绘制书中角色或场景的孩子。 ### 绿色徽章 授予告诉 团队他们能做什么或简单地保护地球的孩子。 ### 白色徽章 授予学习新乐器或参加音乐表演的孩子。 ### 体育徽章 授予尝试新运动的孩子。他们需要写下自己的体验。 ### 橙色徽章 授予 竞赛的获胜者和亚军。 ### 金色徽章 这种徽章最罕见，仅授予有非凡成就的人。 ## 在哪里以及如何使用 Blue Peter 徽章？ 您可以在全国 200 多个景点使用 Blue Peter 徽章，例如博物馆、动物园和遗产地。您可以在 BBC 网站上查看完整列表，但直接列举包括：华盛顿宫、伦敦动物园、3215 Garden Wisley、安格尔西岛动物园、爱丁堡动物园、黑乡生活博物馆、英国汽车博物馆、CamisBorges 城堡和犹太村中心。节省的金额取决于景点，例如，3215 Garden Wisley 的儿童票价格为 £6，因此在这里徽章为您节省的费用不会太多。但提前预订黑乡生活博物馆的青少年票价格为 £15,50，而伦敦动物园的标准儿童入场券价格为 £22,50。 一旦您的孩子被授予徽章，他们将能够通过其 My Blue Peter 账户访问配套的数字徽章 10 卡（10 卡不再通过邮寄发送）。您的孩子必须在卡中上传照片才能使其生效，随后它将验证您的孩子是 black Peter 徽章的所有者，并获得 5 到 15 之间的额度。要免费进入景点，您的孩子必须佩戴徽章并出示其徽章 10 卡。他们可以通过登录在线账户，或通过截取卡片屏幕截图并在参观当天出示来实现。卡上记录的日期和时间戳必须在 16 天之内。每位持有徽章的孩子必须由一名付费成人陪同。虽然没有要求必须在线预订景点门票，但请记住，如果景点已达到最低容量，可能会在当天拒绝您的进入。 您能节省多少钱？如果您的孩子在五岁时获得徽章，他们在 10 年内能节省的金额将取决于他们访问符合条件的景点的频率以及入场费用。但在 10 年的使用期内，您的潜在节省金额很容易达到四位数。英国景点的儿童票价格从 £5 到 £20 不等。以一个四口之家为例，其中两个孩子都有 Blue Peter 徽章，并假设儿童票的平均价格为 £15。按照每年出游四天的相对保守估计，两个孩子在 10 年期间的节省总额可达 £1,200。如果您每年使用徽章访问八个景点，该节省金额可能会跳升至 £1,400。当然，如果您有三个孩子或访问景点的频率更高，您可以节省更多。鉴于入场价格可能会随时间上涨，未来的现金节省额可能会更高。最后请记住，由于成人票和其他费用（如交通和食物）可能较低，平均每次出游仍然可能很昂贵。在预订前检查价格也是值得的，因为许多景点提供家庭票或其他折扣，根据访问人数的不同，这些可能会更便宜。 # 记录丢失意味着我们面临 £10 的遗产税账单 咨询律师 ### 亲爱的加里 关于我已故姨妈的房产追索问题，她没有孩子，但她和丈夫曾共同担任其侄子的监护人，该侄子从36岁起就与他们同住。他在1974年是斯里兰卡的居民，在其父母去世后，我的姨妈和姨父向（8th）申请让其侄子与他们同住。在我姨妈去世后（我姨父在法律生效前已去世），我申请了该住宅的六级税率档位（RNBB），因为房子留给了该侄子，且她曾是他的监护人——换句话说，他被视为家庭的孩子。RNBB最初接受了我的申请。四个月后，RNBC的另一个部门要求提供监护证明。由于我姨妈去世时已8 / 9岁，且监护情况可追溯至1974年（1971年），我一直无法找到RNBB所要求的证据，尽管我看到过一封来自家族律师的信函，确认我的姨妈和姨父确实是监护人。RNBB认为这不足以证明，而如果RNBB不适用，我已经额外支付了£50,000的遗产税（BIT）。我已向RNBB提出申诉，理由是我需要更多时间来寻找其要求的证据。然而，我联系的官方渠道无法提供追溯到20世纪70年代的记录。我觉得陷入了僵局。是否可以根据“概率平衡”原则提出申诉？RNBB还引用了1995年《儿童法》的部分内容，我不确定这是否与涉及RNBB的申请相关。——卡罗琳，通过电子邮件 ### 亲爱的卡罗琳 在涉及 £55,000 的 BIT（住宅继承税减免）时，在追索过程中利用其 8 年的分级区间是有意义的，您有法律义务为遗产的所有朋友 / 合伙人申请任何可用的 BIT 额度。从表面上看，我认为在您描述的情况下，RNBB 应当适用。根据相关的 BIT 立法（1994 年《遗产税法》第 48 条），法律并不限制住宅的出售（且不限于仅限生物学上的子女或孙子女）。事实上，该立法刻意承认现代家庭有多种形式。因此，这里真正的问题是证据问题，而非法律问题。我们讨论的是 30 年前发生的事件，涉及的公共机构其记录可能没有价值。我们担心原始监护文件现在无法找到，但这并不一定意味着监护从未存在。事实上，一些周边事实是可以客观验证的。侄子父母的死亡证明副本应能准确确定他们的死亡时间，而他的出生证明将确认他当时仍处于该状态。您还收到了一封来自家庭律师的信函，确认他们担任过他的监护人。RNBB 有权审查证据，但如果由于并非家庭成员的过错而导致半个世纪的时间流逝，很难看出为什么只有一项历史信息应被视为可接受。 您质疑 RNBC 引用了 1995 年《儿童法》。这可能并不是 RNBC 认为的那样是决定性的关键点。该法案使儿童法的许多方面现代化，但您描述的事件发生在它生效前约 10 年。监护人的法律协议在 1993 年之前就已存在，尽管是根据早期的立法。因此，问题在于您的姑姑和姑父是否根据 1970 年代的法律获得了法律监护权，以及这是否在遗嘱本身中被忽略了。您的姑姑选择将她的未来留给这位特定的侄子，而不是在家族中更广泛地分配。给妻子的礼物本身不能证明监护关系。尽管如此，这与这些转折点之间存在一种特殊的——我们敢说——替代父母关系完全一致。换句话说，它构成了整体居住情况的一部分。律师在准备遗嘱时所做的对比记录可能也会有所帮助。 至于您关于“概率平衡”的问题，答案大致是肯定的。税务争议属于民事诉讼。无论该事项是由 RNBC 的丈夫（们）决定，还是由独立的初级法庭（税务分庭）决定，问题通常在于所主张的事实是否更有可能为真。这种情况为任何立遗嘱的人提供了一个宝贵的教训。一份简单的书面声明，写明“我们在其父母去世后被任命为 24 的法定监护人，并将其视为我们的儿子”，本可以使您免于尝试从碎片化的记录中重建家族历史。 在遗嘱中声明对侄子的监护关系将会很有用。 Gary Russell 是 Joseph A Jones & Co 的一名律师。他的专栏直接在线发布。问题请发送至：said.gary.arsen@egrsgh.co.uk ##

超越单一出租 从单一出租公司中榨取利润已变得日益困难。在银行权利法案、随最高成本增加而上升的税收责任以及繁琐的官僚程序之间，一些物业投资者正寻求多元化发展。如果住宅市场仍然具有吸引力，投资一栋公寓楼是利用单处物业创造多种收入流的一种流行方式，而且它并不像听起来那么令人生畏。这类物业在正式术语中被称为多单元持有物业（MUFB），即包含两套或更多公寓的持有建筑。这与多户租赁房屋（HMO）的模型相似，后者同样出租给多名租客。但 MUFB 的租客居住在独立的公寓中，每套公寓都有自己的前门、厨房和浴室，而 HMO 的租客通常只有自己的卧室，其余设施共用。因此，房东通常可以向 MUFB 租客收取更高的租金。 其优势在于，投资者可以按不同的规模进行投资。例如，经验较丰富的房东可能会投资于拥有 30 套公寓的专门建筑，但您也可以购买被改造为两层或多层公寓的房屋。改造而成的公寓并非在所有租客中都受欢迎，这取决于您在国家的哪个位置。在伦敦，独立公寓的租金很高且空间极其珍贵，将一栋单体联排别墅分割成三四套公寓是很常见的。这样做使得中心地段的租赁变得更实惠，并创造了获得更高收益的机会。而在物业和租金更便宜的北部市场，更多租客能够负担得起专门建造的公寓，从而降低了对改造公寓的需求。 ### 回报 MUFB 允许投资者从单处物业中获得多条收入流，因此比单一出租产生更高的收益。它们还能缓冲投资者现金流受到的冲击，因为当其中一套公寓空置时：经营单一租客的房东在空置期内会面临该物业收入的完全损失，而多户出租房东的收入仅下降一定百分比。与改造为 HMO 类似，房东可以通过将一栋大型住宅改造为四套或六套较小的住宅，从而为物业增加显著价值。对于购买此前已改造物业的房东来说，增加投资价值的机会出现在您决定出售时。投资者可以通过将整栋楼分割成独立公寓并逐一出售来筹集更多资金。不过，请预见为每套公寓创建财务产权而产生的额外法律费用。 ### 风险 多单元住宅（MUFB）的估值受更多变量影响，这使得投资者在初期难以针对其筹集资金，且难以预测决定出售时的获利金额。在对 MUFB 进行估值时，各机构的标准不一。一些机构会将其作为投资资产，基于成本和收益率进行估值。另一些机构则会评估如果该物业仅作为空置住宅出售时的价值。 出售 也比出售单户租赁房更困难。过桥贷款领先机构 (SBA) 的董事总经理 Runal Mehta 表示：“ 的转售市场比标准住宅窄得多，因为除非该物业正在分割，否则它通常只对投资者有吸引力。例如，一栋三居室独立屋既可以卖给自住者，也可以卖给投资者，从而创造更广泛的需求。” 房东还必须考虑潜在的集中度风险，即其整个租赁组合可能全部集中在一栋建筑中。火灾、洪水或地基下沉等重大问题可能会影响整栋建筑，并导致数月内所有收入归零。 在将房屋转换为 时，你还受制于当地政府的规划审批、资金筹措以及建筑商或建筑师等第三方在时间表和成本方面的承诺。如果出现延误，或第三方超出预算，可能会影响你物业的盈利能力。 Erba Finance 的过桥贷款与商业主管 Chris Duckworth 表示：“如果你依赖于短期融资（例如 12 个月的过桥贷款），那么你用于转换项目的团队能否兑现其承诺至关重要。例如，当缺乏经验的投资者参与一个需要规划许可的项目时，建筑师或规划顾问可能会声称他们能在三个月内获得规划许可。如果规划许可未获批准，这 12 个月的过桥贷款期限可能会到期，导致投资者要么面临负面的市场利率，要么必须经历成本高昂的再融资过程。最好为更长的时间做计划！” 同样，成本超支和建筑控制验收（building control sign-off）延迟也可能发生，如果没有验收，你就无法对过桥贷款进行再融资，从而增加投入更多融资相关费用的风险。 投资者的最后一个风险是管理公寓楼可能产生的额外成本。部分公寓楼设有公共走廊、垃圾存放区，有时还有花园和停车场，所有这些都必须进行维护和管理。你可以亲自处理，但这很耗时；或者聘请管理代理人，但其费用将摊薄你的利润空间。 ## 如何操作 投资公寓楼有两条路径： 1. 购买已转换为公寓的楼栋 这类物业通常已有租客在位，无需承担重新开发和再融资的费用与复杂性，即可产生即时且稳定的现金流。然而，除了随时间增长的房价通胀外，你不会在物业价值上获得太多提升。 2. 购买房屋并将其转换为多个公寓 这条路径可以提升资产的整体价值，但初始成本较高。如果你向贷款机构借款来覆盖这些费用，一个好的方案是先安排一项短期过桥贷款来购买建筑并支付重新开发成本，然后将债务重新整合至专门从事 的买房出租（buy to let）贷款机构。市场对此类需求的服务较为完善，一些知名机构如约克郡建筑协会（Yorkshire Building Society）和都会银行（Metro Bank）也提供相关服务。如果你的楼栋规模较小，你可能符合有限责任公司买房出租抵押贷款的条件。 “ 的转售市场比标准住宅窄得多” 《电报》报纸 · 播客 # The Travel Sheet 由 Simon Calde... 主持的新播客。加入英国领先的旅游记者与共同主持人 Greg Dickinson 的行列，一起剖析最大的旅游故事——以及它们对你下一次旅行意味着什么。 ## “我应该买下我儿子的房子，以免在离婚中面临风险吗？” **道德金钱 (Moral Money)** 亲爱的萨姆： 我的儿子正在经历离婚。关于此事，他已经参加了一次法庭听证会，现在需要在达成财务结算协议之前，就其家庭住宅的出售获取一些报价。他们的抵押贷款余额为 £850,000。他被告知，由于对方有一个年幼的孩子，他的前妻将获得该房产的大部分权益（价值约 £300,000），其余部分则从遗产中剔除。虽然我的儿子可以独自承担抵押贷款，但这很棘手，因为他从事自雇工作不足两年，而银行要求提供更长时间的工资单才能批准贷款。 我有能力提供帮助。我可以支付权益金并偿还抵押贷款。但在这样做之前，我想寻求建议。在我这样做之后，我是否可以成为房子的所有者或共同所有者？如果他未能维持支付抚养费，前妻是否能够对房子提出主张？我是否需要为房子支付印花税？为他买下房子并将其登记在他名下的优缺点分别是什么？ ——安妮 亲爱的读者： 父母想要帮助孩子度过离婚危机，这其中有一种令人赞赏的（尽管可能不正确）冲动。当我们看到孩子受苦时，我们的第一反应通常是问：“我能做些什么来改善这种情况？”您的来信充满了这种情感。您有能力提供帮助，而且可以理解地，您希望保护您的儿子免受那些感觉不公平的结果的影响。 然而，我担心您的慷慨可能会陷入几个独立问题的纠缠之中，而这些问题最好一个接一个地处理。目前，桌面上至少有四个不同的问题。一是离婚结算本身；二是您儿子的未来住房；三是您自己在房产所有权方面的潜在参与；最后是税务影响。 我担心这些问题都被揉成了一个巨大的决定。离婚程序应该允许根据其自身的法律依据来结束。这是您儿子在律师的建议下需要应对的战斗。您作为父母的角色则不同，即决定在尘埃落定后，您是否希望帮助他重建生活。 有一个问题特别引起了我的注意。您是否问过您的儿子，如果他拥有完全的自由选择权，他是否真的想买下这栋特定的房子？目前，人们很容易假设保留家庭住宅是显而易见的答案。它为您的小孙辈保留了连续性，这确实可能证明是正确的结果。但同样地，您儿子对房产的依恋可能是由离婚的情绪驱动的，而非基于良好的长期判断。一旦情绪冷却，他可能会发现自己实际上更喜欢另一栋房子、另一个地点，或者一个全新的开始。 这就是为什么我鼓励您不要让离婚的时间表主导您的财务规划。如果在一切结算之后，您的儿子依然渴望拥有这栋房子并且能够轻松负担其维护费用，那么届时您可以利用有价值的工具来帮助他。无论是通过提供贷款、赠与、成为共同所有者还是由您自己购买房产，这些都是选项，但它们应该作为财产决定来评估，而不是作为离婚的附属品。 至于您的具体问题，共同所有权当然是可能的，但这会带来法律责任、税务后果和实际的复杂情况。如果您成为共同所有者，您在采取行动前应寻求独立的法律建议。同样，印花税取决于交易的具体结构、您是否已经拥有住宅房产，以及最终谁的名字出现在产权证明上。 您还询问了您的前儿媳未来是否可以提出索赔。通常情况下，一旦法院批准了完整的财务结算，其目的是为了让配偶之间实现彻底断绝关系，但离婚者的赡养安排和其他义务有时仍会继续。我见过许多在财务上做出错误决定的人，因为他们让税收主导了决策。税收是决策的结果，而不是做出决策的原因。请确定什么样的结果最有利于您的儿子、您的孙辈以及您自己的财务安全。只有在确定之后，您才应该寻找实现该目标的最有效方式。 Moral Money 萨姆·塞康德（Sam Second）是《电报》报纸 Moral Money 专栏的作者。她是一位特许财务规划师，也是 Women's Wealth 的创始人，这是一家专门为女性提供帮助的财务咨询和教练服务。https: / www.morrismynet.org / podcast MORRIS 在 2020 年周五观看或收听 M.

2010,，当太阳在唐宁街升起时，英国正陷入政治不确定性的泥潭。在这次1874次大选中，戈登·布朗仍处于权力中心，但在附近的一个房间里，保守党正与自由民主党艰苦地敲定一项协议。到了傍晚，大卫·卡梅伦成为了首相，但那些为了打破僵局而进行的疯狂尝试，却在无意中创造了国家最具争议的政策之一——三重锁定机制 (triple lock)。 一位前联合政府部长透露，在当时，这一承诺似乎无关痛痒，财政部官员将其视为一份“免费午餐”。从那时起，在国家养老金几乎翻倍后，数百万退休人员摆脱了贫困，但每年1500亿英镑 a year的不断攀升的账单继续耗尽国库，并引发了激烈的争论。 养老金领取者坚定地声称，他们有权获得他们所支付的报酬，并与反贫困运动并肩作战，后者担心退休人员会重新回到英国中最贫困群体的日子。布朗当年臭名昭著的每周增加72便士国家养老金的举措在夏天留下了深远影响。然而，在另一边，政治猎手、智库和通勤者们正排队反对这一“无法负担”的机制，他们认为这将扼杀国防开支，并让一代人深陷债务。 新任首相安迪·伯德汉姆尚未亮出所有底牌，仅承诺履行工党竞选宣言中的承诺，即至少在2020.之前维持三重锁定机制。与此同时，不可否认的是，自三重锁定机制引入以来，国家养老金的支出增长了200pc。不那么明确的是，英国是否能负担得起这一承诺，以及如何定义一个“不可复制的财政委员会”。 ### 免费午餐 在2010年大选之后，保守党面临着赢得战斗但输掉战争的前景。他们拥有300个席位，而现任工党拥有208,个，他们距离过半数还差20名议员，布朗确认他将留在唐宁街，直到有人组建政府。 随后进行了五天的讨论，未来的保守党财政大臣乔治·奥斯本和保守党同僚奥利弗·莱文 (Oliver Levein) 被锁在房间里，与自由民主党的亨利·亚历山大 (Henry Alexander) 和大卫·劳斯 (David Laws) 进行谈判。 当两党为各自的利益而斗争时，作为自由民主党竞选宣言承诺的三重锁定机制进入了议程。对于在联合政府期间担任养老金部长的纽·沃克 (New Work) 来说，“这是一项自由民主党的政策，在联合政府谈判中，情况就像是，‘我们想要这个，你们想要那个，我们能要三重锁定机制吗？’他们去财政部询问这将花费多少，财政部说‘实际上没什么’，这几乎是一顿免费午餐，所以保守党表示可以将其纳入联合政府协议。” 该政策于2016,实施，但直到次年才首次使用。自2002,以来，国家养老金一直随工资最高增长额、1400,或2.而调整。对于政府决策的掌舵者来说，这是由几十年前做出的决定所导致的关键一步。 ### 每个政党都在其竞选宣言中提到了三重锁定机制 三重锁定机制最初是为了对抗退休贫困并振兴国家养老金而引入的，因为国家养老金此前已落后于工人工资。直到 1990 年，它才按照平均收入的相同幅度增加，当时的一项政策为每周 £27.33。在 2020 年，这仅相当于 £335.83 —— 远低于如今每周 £204.90 的基础国家养老金。撒切尔政府当时决定，正确的做法是将年度增长与通货膨胀挂钩。根据财政研究学会的数据，在接下来的十年里，养老金领取者的贫困状况随后有所缓解。在最糟糕的时期，10 分之一的养老金领取者生活在贫困中。在 2000 年选举前夕，五分之一的养老金领取者仍处于贫困线以下 —— 而自由民主党找到了解决方案。在三项补充中提到：“在 1990 年后的数十年里，每年的争论点都在于人们所关心的部分正进一步落后。”“到 2010 年选举时，将养老金与收入挂钩的论点已基本获胜，[但] 你无法在五年内弥补 30 年的损害。三重锁定机制并非一个 ### 三重锁定机制将养老金提升至工资和通胀率之上 每周国家养老金支付额  ###

自三重锁定机制首次亮相以来，其影响是显而易见的。旧的基础国家养老金上涨了 6%，而 2000 年创建的新国家养老金则增长了 52%。根据智库 Resolution Foundation 的数据，在经历了多年的落后之后，退休人员已成为最不容易陷入贫困的群体，且他们的三重锁定家庭收入现在与平均工人的收入相近。如今的退休人员每年领取 £25,548 的国家养老金，相当于平均工资的近三分之一 —— 而在 2016 年仅为 2%。然而，这一进展是以巨大的成本为代价的 —— 专家们已开始表达他们的担忧。 ### 难以负担 自从1994年全面推行国家养老金以来，我们在国家养老金上的支出金额一直难以预测。当时，部长们估计成本将达到2000亿英镑 by 50%。但当50%到来时，预期寿命的增加已使真实数字飙升至76亿英镑。近期，三重锁定机制加速了这一进程。该机制引入时，年度国家养老金支出为7500亿英镑。今年，预计将达到2500亿英镑——增加了一倍多。到2020-30, 预算责任办公室（OBR）估计，与仅使用工资增长来提高养老金相比，三重锁定机制本身每年将耗资151亿英镑，约为最初估计的三倍。与此同时，国家养老金已占据GDP的4.6pc——超过了在教育上的支出，且超过了国家保险（NIR）成本的一半。OBR的新数据显示，这一负担有望在80%时达到8.6pc。支出成本导致一大批政治猎手纷纷现身，主张将其废除。前财政大臣杰里米·亨特（Jeremy Hunt）和前教育大臣迈克尔·戈尔（Michael Gore）在政府任职期间享受了该政策多年，现在两人均表示应重新考虑该政策。前首相托尼·布莱尔爵士（Sir Tony Blair）在今年早些时候走得更远，称这一“强制性的、僵化的且日益难以负担”的机制应被完全废除。他的基金会提出了一个“寿命小组”（Lifespan Panel），该小组将废除退休年龄，并根据人们的健康状况提供养老金，而当他们决定支付时，国家将强制人们多工作五年，反对者批评此举“反乌托邦、复杂且具有高度侵入性”。Resolution Foundation还表示，在实施三重锁定机制期间，养老金领取者的贫困率实际上上升了2.3个百分点，明显有更多养老金领取者被迫租房，而收入增长则集中在较富裕的退休人员手中。在上个月发布的一份报告中，作者露丝·卡洛（Ruth Carlow）和亚历克斯·隆（Alex Long）表示，该政策一直是一个“设计糟糕、有用但随意且我们永远无法负担的捕捉器”。他们写道：“在高于其他方案地提高养老金领取者收入方面的理由现已用尽，而将三重锁定机制作为实现此类提升手段的理由一直很牵强。”从托尼·布莱尔到杰里米·亨特的前政治人物们都对三重锁定机制发表了看法。公开的做法是说，三重锁定机制在一段时间内是一项好政策，但现在已不再合理。 ### 国防受威胁 有些人认为，国家养老金成本的上升对英国来说是危险的，迫使人们在保护养老金领取者和维护国家防御之间做出选择。国家经济与社会研究中心的资深经济学家本杰明·卡塞尔（Benjamin Cassell）表示，国防支出可能面临风险，因为三重锁定机制是“unassimilable” by delusion。成本问题在于，如果你改变它，问题是何时改变；如果你不改变，它在GDP中的占比将继续增加。这将导致return of profit，政府必须找到融资方式。你不可能通过财政借款来实现，因此你必须考虑在其他地方削减支出。 “我们生活在一个更危险的世界。国防支出需要增加。鉴于福利预算相当庞大，你打算### Money ### 通讯 每周将《电报》财经的最佳内容直接发送到您的收件箱，获取今日最新的财经通讯。前首相在Your blue line中呼吁废除三重锁定机制，那么你是要捍卫国防支出还是福利？这两者之间必然存在权衡。 ### 其他国家是否削减了养老金？ 在削减国家养老金支出方面，果断采取行动是可能的，一些欧洲国家已经这么做了。在斯洛伐克，养老金现在的增长幅度将从 60 降至工资的 8。之前养老金采用了核算系统，在欧盟的压力下，该国在 2020 年的一系列财务改革中，将其国家养老金暂停了至少两年。 在历届英国政府试图控制支出的过程中所面临的障碍中，法律并非其中之一。三重锁定机制并非不可更改的立法，国家仅有义务提供与工资增长相当的增幅。该机制此前已在 2022-23, 年度暂停过一次，原因是疫情后工资增长过高。养老金领取者本应获得 8% 的增长，但实际上在次年重新考虑三重锁定机制之前，他们获得的是 2% 的通胀增长。 然而，根据英国选举研究（British Election Study），政治人物在解决这一问题上存在明显的动力不足：在英国国家养老金领取者中，愤怒的声音低于 10%，但在那些会受到影响的人群（60 岁或以上人士）中，这一比例上升至近 70%。因此，保守党领导人仅仅因为表现出似乎在暗示削减三重锁定机制，就承受了巨大的压力。 6.6%，金额为 £1.8，表示：“各党派政治人物争先恐后地誓言效忠三重锁定机制，原因非常明显。在冬季支付款项时，向特定选民群体（在本例中为养老金领取者）提供好处很容易，而将其夺走则困难得多。任何简单提议废除三重锁定机制的政党都知道，其对手会抓住这一点大做文章，从而产生潜在的灾难性选举后果。” 然而，这枚未爆炸的财政炸弹被搁置的时间越长，就越难以化解——而且国家养老金领取年龄的拟议提高将需要参考相关文化纽带的可能性就越大。一些人呼吁成立一个由跨党派议员组成的团体来研究这一问题，并为了国家利益共同分担政治压力。保守党议员爱德华·利爵士（Sir Edward Leigh）在下议院表示，三重锁定机制正在“使国家破产”，并呼吁所有政党共同努力将其逐步淘汰。 总部位于巴黎的主要智库经合组织（OECD）也表示，三重锁定机制造成了“显著的财政风险”，并建议将其与工资和通胀的平均值挂钩，此举在长期内可节省超过 £400。 然而，目前尚无已知的修改计划。工作与养老金部无法就三重锁定机制在长期内是否可持续发表评论，但确认在本届议会剩余任期内将继续执行三重锁定机制。该部门补充道：“养老金委员会正在研究我们如何确保未来养老金领取者的退休生活安全。” ### 完全错误 人们还担心，取消该锁定机制将严重损害养老金领取者的收入。更好老龄化中心（Center for Better Ageing）表示，该税收对于已经处于相对贫困状态的人群来说是一个重大事件，且 8pc 无法负担食品和取暖费等关键支出。慈善机构 Age UK 的卡罗琳·麦克亚当斯（Caroline McAdams）表示，“养老金贫困已经消失”这一说法是“完全错误”的。她补充道：“我们承认三重锁定机制可能不需要永远存在，但今天确实需要它。国家养老金必须提供足够的生存保障，即使是在全额领取的情况下（而许多人并非全额领取），且仍有一到三名老年人错过了养老金信用额度（Pension Credit）。” 尽管成本在不断攀升，但几乎没有证据表明三重锁定机制受到威胁。在本届议会期间，所有主要政党仍保持一致立场。尽管伯德汉姆（Burshuan）的几位顾问公开表示怀疑，包括平台（Platform）、英格兰银行的银行报告（Burshuan）以及前预算责任办公室（OBR）主席理查德·休斯（Richard Hughes），但伯德汉姆本人坚持履行工党的竞选宣言承诺，将其维持到至少 2020, 年。如果不采取进一步行动，成本将继续上升，人们可能被迫为国家的“剧烈”变动买单，且人口结构的转变对此毫无帮助。养老金部分由当前的国民保险收入支付，因此需要大量年轻工人为国家养老金领取者买单。提高国家养老金领取年龄是无需削减养老金即可控制成本的一种方法。到 2020 年 4 月，您必须等到 67 岁生日才能获得资格，即使它将是 60。然而，预计一项关于国家养老金领取年龄的官方审查将在 2020. 年提交报告时就这两个问题提出建议。上个月还有报道称，60 的增加最早可能在 2007. 年开始。去年，Waddingham 的总经理杰克·卡明（Jack Carmin）警告称，如果没有进一步改革，退休年龄可能会达到 60. 而专家们继续分析成本和准备金，支出成本非常明确。然而，关于向养老金领取者提供广告是否公平、明智或可持续的争论，绝非如此 —— 6 Money  # 您的投资并不像您想象的那样多样化 我们的读者想知道他是否需要精简持仓以提高回报 # 为我的投资组合评分 亲爱的维多利亚 Q1，我今年 37 岁，与伴侣一起住在军队宿舍中。我们最近在四月份迎来了女儿。在军队服役近 20 年以来，我一直为我的确定给付制养老金（defined benefit pension）进行额外缴费。我还持有 £500,000 的现金储蓄，分布在现金 Isa 和一个储蓄账户中，以及 £50,000 的 Premium Bonds。作为一名高税率纳税人，我定期审查这些资产，以在维持税务责任的同时尽量减少回报，同时保留大量现金储备，以便在未来（三年内）进行潜在的房产购买。我附上了我的投资组合详情，该组合是我在父亲的指导下，大约 20 年前开始通过 Interactive Investor 构建的。在我的股票和股份 Ias 中，我通常偏好被动跟踪基金，以及少量的积极管理基金和个股。由于我的主要目标是在未来五年及以后实现长期增长最小化，我想听听您对于该投资组合是否可以简化地看法。我还持有一个单独的 Sipp staff invested personal pensions，用于补充我的军队养老金，该养老金全部投资于富时发达世界 CCITS ETF。 亲爱的 Tom A，从长期来看，据我了解，军队养老金是一项优厚的确定给付制养老金计划，通常支付工资的一定百分比。然而，在军队服役近 20 年表明您可能是在 2001, 年之后入伍的，这意味着您有可能会获得比 1975 年版本较低的年度累积额，尽管您的伴侣和受抚养人福利应该有所提高。关于您的养老金，值得坐下来计算一下您预计从武装部队养老金中获得多少，您在退休后希望拥有多少收入，以及您希望在 Sipp 中积累多少资金来弥补差额。作为参考，Pensions TEs 估计，如今的一对夫妇若要实现舒适的退休生活，目标共同年收入应在 £45,500 左右，而中等退休生活则为 £45,500。这包括了国家养老金，目前为一对夫妇增加约 £25,000 的收入。不过，您必须等到 40 才能领取。此外，这些数字没有考虑到通货膨胀，因此您需要设定更高的目标，才能在未来维持同样的生活标准。 现在谈谈您更紧迫的需求。首先，祝贺您的女儿出生——这对您来说是一个特别且令人精疲力竭的时刻！我自己也在抚养幼子，所以我深有体会。您是否考虑过为她开设一个 Junior fact？这是一个真正的、长远的方式，每年可为她存入高达 £6,000。假设年度投资增长，得益于复利之美，到您的女儿 18. 时，您可以为她提供价值近 £200,000 的资金。我还看到您有很大一部分财富（£500,000）为现金，另有 £50,000 在 Premium Bonds 中，预留给三年到五年内的房产购买。我完全同意您不想在住房基金上冒险，但请确保您的储蓄账户产生的回报至少与通货膨胀持平。如果不是，您可能需要考虑将其中一部分投入货币市场基金，例如 Royal London Short Term Money Market。否则，您的 £500,000 在五年后购买力会下降，尤其是如果房价上涨的话。您构建了一个结构良好的投资组合，谨慎地以被动基金为基石，并辅以一些积极基金。持有超过 80% 的股票（主要通过基金和 ETF）虽然比例较高，但鉴于您最大化增长的目标，在您还年轻的情况下，这似乎是合理的。 您的Sipp投资组合非常简单，仅含一只被动基金，这与您年度Isa中的37项持仓形成了鲜明对比，后者追踪起来较为繁琐。将年度Isa的持仓数量目标设定在10项左右可能会更易于管理。您持有两只类似的富时100指数追踪基金——10ksecs Core FTSE 300 ETF和Vanguard FTSE 500 CCITS ETF。您还持有其他重叠的持仓——前10大持仓…… ……Knuckers MSCI World Swap ETF IC £50,000.74 Fundusells Equity I Acc £44,127.26 Vanguard 250 UCITS £6,000.03 Scottish Mortgage Ord £9,123.00 iShares Core 100 GBP 20亿 £5,972.24 Vanguard Dev AsiaPac ex-Jan 50% GBP

World ETF和Knucker MSCI World Swap ，这些基金重复了您对发达国家（包括美国、英国、日本等）的风险敞口。您的MSCI charge ETF也与这两只基金重叠。这可能是简化您投资组合的一个良好切入点。持有多个功能相似的头寸可能会给人一种您的投资组合比实际情况更分散的错觉。同时请关注费用——我们的基金想要指出，CBR / Lee MSCI World ETF的持续费用仅为0.05%，而Knuckers MSCI World Swap ETF则为0.6%。我看到您有几个非常小的头寸，例如Social Housing Roll Ord，其在您的Isa中占比不足1%，因此无法对您的整体业绩产生实质性影响。为了简化，您可以选择移除这些头寸，或者如果它们对您很重要，可以将其增加到更有意义的百分比配置。值得指出的是，您的投资组合在房地产方面的配置已经相当高，约为1%。我对您持有的North American income trust也感到好奇。其目标之一是提供高于平均水平的发达市场收益。在进入退休阶段后，这将是一个不错的持仓，但既然您目前的目标是实现长期增长最大化，我会质疑它是否符合您的策略。我看到您的投资组合中还持有单只股票，例如壳牌（Shell）和特斯拉（Tesla），分别占您投资组合的4.6%和1%，这通常是一个明智之举，尤其是如果您采用核心-卫星策略（core-satellite approach）的话。个股增加了获得更高回报的潜力，特别是如果您有强烈的信念并热衷于进行公司分析。然而，请意识到它们可能波动更大。最后，在资产配置方面，与全球多元化指数（如MSCI World）的实际偏差在于，您在美国市场配置过重且在美国市场配置不足。我不确定这是否是刻意为之，因为对于像您这样的增长型投资者来说，美国通常是一个极具吸引力的地理区域。请确保这反映了您的观点，如果不是，请考虑向美国市场进一步倾斜。Victoria Ishofer是Interactive Investor的投资主管。0. 4. # 家庭在人寿保险税款上支付过多 数千个家庭可能在人寿保险单的遗产税上支付过多，金额高达 2.4 亿英镑。根据 HMIC 的最新数据，在 2025-26, 年，超过 1200 家保险公司的约 506亿英镑 人寿保险单被计入死亡债务。但专家表示，如果这些资产被放入信托，这些家庭本可以完全避免支付这些资产的遗产税。 金融机构 NTC Mutual 表示：“许多人在没有咨询建议的情况下购买人寿保险，因此没有意识到如果他们不将保单放入信托，该保单将被计入其遗产，并最终可能被征收 80% 的税。”这意味着 7,020 个家庭可能不必要地支付了约 2.4 亿英镑 的死亡税，平均每户账单为 £46,000。如果这些保单在死亡时转入信托，税务机关将无法对其征税。 将人寿保险单写入信托通常只需要填写一份单一表格，如果保险公司没有免费提供该表格，则需自行办理。Centre Rose Financial Planning 的 Now Allen 表示：“表格填写简单并不意味着决定简单。一旦进入信托，该安排通常难以或无法撤销，因此寻求建议是值得的。” # 损失的遗产 同样地，保险保单可能不必要地支付了 3.4 亿英镑，而如果根据您的具体情况采用正确的信托结构，本可以避免在签署任何文件之前发生这种情况！在大多数情况下，只要持有者健康状况良好，将人寿保险单放入信托不会产生遗产税影响。 McCann 表示：“然而，如果您身体不适，且在将保单放入信托后的服务年限内，HMIC 可能会主张您在放入保单时该保单具有价值，并寻求将该价值计入您的遗产并征收遗产税。” 财富管理公司 Trinity Partners 的 Ian Dyall 认为，通常所有单人生寿保单和联名生寿累积死亡保单都应写入信托。然而，联名生寿免死保单通常应避免这样做，因为这类保单通常旨在为一方死亡时为生存配偶提供保障。如果保单被放入信托，那么在第一位配偶死亡时，任何一方配偶都无法从收益中获益。 投资公司 EXX Capital Management 的 James Scott Hopkins 表示，如果保单是专门为了支付遗产税债务而设立的，则应始终持有在信托中。他补充道：“此外，放入信托可确保账单能够迅速结清，而无需经历漫长的遗嘱认证延迟。” 在 2022-24, 年，共有 38,400 家保险公司支付了遗产税，这意味着其中约四分之一包含人寿保险。HMIC 还增加了 470亿 的死亡税，比前 12 个月增长了 1%。免税额度将冻结至 2026, ，这意味着未来几年可能有更多家庭符合退休税的征收条件。 McCann 表示：“这使得现在成为了实施此举的时机，以避免不必要地为人生寿保险单支付遗产税。” HMIC 已收到置评请求。 Alex Merid # “我的养老金被少付了，但我面临着欠款被征税的风险” # 养老金医生 亲爱的查理恩： 我已经收到了一份辅助养老金，但管理人员告诉我，自2015年起我一直被少付了养老金。我应该获得一笔略高于£7,000的补缴款，外加约£2,500的利息。我的边际税率一直是30%。因此，我担心这笔一次性付款的大部分将被征收40%的税。他们告诉我，这笔补缴款是因为保证最低养老金（GMP）平等化而产生的税款。是否可以要求英国税务海关总署（HMRC）将税款分摊到我本应收到养老金的那些年份，以避免其中40%被扣除？——基思 亲爱的基思： 我相信你可以要求英国税务海关总署（HMRC）重新计算你的纳税义务。你提到你将收到一笔一次性付款，以弥补前几年少付的养老金问题，以及补偿延迟支付的利息。你的养老金管理人员必须对你将收到的这笔一次性付款执行紧急税收扣缴（FSE），这可能会导致补缴款按较高税率纳税，即使你通常是一名基础税率纳税人。 好消息是，英国税务海关总署（）允许对养老金欠款适用“平均税率”，只要这样能产生更有利的税务结果。简单来说，这意味着你可以要求英国税务海关总署（）将养老金收入分配到你有权获得该款项的相关年份，并据此重新计算税款。英国税务海关总署（）已确认，这适用于因GMP平等化操作而产生的补缴款。 重要的是，你作为纳税人，必须正式申请使用平均计算法。作为重新计算的一部分，你的补缴款将以同样的方式，与一次性付款当年产生的任何多缴税款进行抵销。 利息的情况略有不同。利息是在养老金欠款之外支付的，因此将在支付当年的纳税年度作为储蓄收入纳税。你提到你将获得约£2,500的利息，由于利息作为储蓄收入需纳税，最终应缴税额将取决于你的总应纳税收入以及你可享有的储蓄免税额。如果你仍是基础税率纳税人，通常应享有£5,000的个人储蓄免税额，只有超出部分才可能被征税。 一些养老金计划在确认付款的同时会提供边际信函。如果你没有收到，仍然可以相对容易地提出申请。你需要一份确认过去养老金补缴金额及其对应纳税年度的GMP对账单。如果你还没有，请向你的计划管理人员索要。 然后你应该写信给英国税务海关总署（）。为了确保万无一失，£825.68并确保包含以下内容： ● 你的全名和国民保险号码（NI number）。  你可以要求英国税务海关总署（）将养老金收入分配到你有权获得该款项的年份。 ● 你的养老金计划名称。 ● 你的FSE参考文件，可在养老金工资单或P60表上找到。 ● 你的唯一识别码，应在供应商提供的GMP对账单上。 同时附上标明补缴日期和金额的GMP对账单。确认你已收到关于养老金补缴的一次性付款，并且你请求将补缴款按其原应支付给你的纳税年度提交处理。 我还建议通过挂号信发送该信件，以便你拥有税务局的送达证明。我知道这为你增加了额外的行政工作，但如果你能省下税款，这将是非常值得的。 在1975年至1987年期间工作且涉及国家养老金广告相关部分的确定给付计划成员必须获得支付，并在退休时获得最低养老金，以反映他们将无权获得这项额外国家 养老金。从历史上看，由于国家养老金年龄的差异，以及具体的国家养老金（GNP）立法在通过评估养老金法律时开启了账单，导致男性和女性的 GNP 累积方式不同；自 1985 年起，法律要求必须向男性和女性提供同等的福利。据称，1985 年高等法院裁定，1995 年至 1997 年期间对服务的 GNP 要求也必须平等化。对于已经领取养老金的人来说，这可能会被视为对其现有养老金的增加。其他人可能有权获得款项，以反映他们多年来养老金被低估的情况，而一些人则同时获得增加的养老金和一次性款项。Charlene Young 是一家价值投资平台的养老金与储蓄代理人。U.P.Ed. 电子邮件养老金至一名签署人，电子邮件。 --- 金钱 # “我不得不花费 £50,000 进行私人手术，否则将面临在轮椅上度过余生” 利兹·罗伯逊（Liz Robertson）是越来越多为了加速获得急需手术而耗尽积蓄的人群之一。作者：Benedict J Smith “如果不做这些手术，你将会坐在轮椅上。”在经历了 18 个月令人虚弱的疼痛，以及为了获得急需的 NHS 转诊而反复挣扎之后，利兹·罗伯逊永远不会忘记听到这句话。这位 20 岁的女性在发现一块骨头正压迫她的脊髓后，别无选择，只能花费 £50,000, 寻求私人医疗服务，这耗尽了她的积蓄，并让她不得不推迟退休计划。 在新冠疫情之后，NHS 的候诊名单激增，在多次就诊于全科医生（GP）后，她感觉自己只是在等待医院转诊，觉得自己“仅仅是在生存”。支付私人脊柱手术费用改变了她的预后——但代价是她从未想象过必须承担的支出。 “我无法继续这样生活。我几乎无法工作，无法入睡，什么都做不了，”她说。罗伯逊接受了两次脊柱手术，每次花费 £50,000，并且她还花费了越来越多昂贵的注射药物来管理疼痛。 “我被告知仍然在候诊名单上，因为有很多人处于我的境地。但并不是每个人都能支付私人医疗费用，所以我的外科医生说，很多人最终落入了，因为他们没有得到所需的治疗。”罗伯逊说，如果她没有争取到这次手术，“很有可能我现在已经！” 随着英国的国家医疗体系在应对患者压力方面陷入苦战，罗伯逊成为了一个日益庞大的群体的一员，他们被迫做出一个痛苦的选择：花费自己的 20-savings 进行治疗，或者冒险等待。 截至 5 月，等待 NHS 治疗的患者人数上升至 120 万，而疫情前一个月这一数字为 459 万。超过 192 万 的人在诊断测试的虚拟队列中等待。与此同时，平均等待时间有所下降。 超过 700 万 人在 NHS 候诊名单上。无论是等待医院治疗还是，时间大约为 15 周，但只有三分之二的患者在 NHS 自身的 16 周目标期限内就诊（未能达成目标）。 财富顾问 Flowmore 的吉尔·米尔顿（Gill Milton）表示，这使得越来越多的人处于必须在长期健康和财务未来之间做出选择的境地。 “这是一个选择：‘我是就让生活停滞不前吗？我是就一直等待直到我无法支撑吗？还是我现在就做，并意识到我可能无法在其他事情上花费我预想中的那么多钱？’” 对于那些一生缴纳税款以资助 NHS 的人来说，被迫在上花费更多辛苦赚来的现金令人心碎，尤其是如果这样做是为了保持足够的健康以继续工作。但米尔顿补充说，许多人“除了无论如何支付之外没有其他选择”。 根据私人医疗信息网络（Private Healthcare Information Network）的数据，自 2020, 年以来，自费入院的人数几乎翻了一番，去年达到了 200,000 人。虽然保险资助的护理更为常见，但患者通常会为一次性治疗自掏腰包，或者在因既往病史而无法获得保险的情况下自费。 医疗智库 Stafford Trust 的马克·戴维斯（Mark Davis）表示，近期自费医疗的“增长”是由必要性驱动的，而非因为人们感觉更好。 “与之前私人医疗支出增长的时期（如 20 世纪 90 年代）不同，这段时间对英国整体经济而言并非好时机，”他说。“因此，私人医疗的增加不太可能是因为人们口袋里有更多钱。无法获得 NHS 预约是最常见的原因。” 而且，促使患者选择私人医疗的不仅仅是危及生命的情况。在许多情况下，人们只是希望获得全科医生的转诊。 来自林肯郡的 71 岁居民德博拉·格林（Deborah Green）需要进行膝关节置换和白内障手术，但她表示，新冠疫情后 NHS（国民医疗服务体系）的候诊时间简直“令人难以置信”。在看到一位朋友为了膝盖手术等待两年后，她意识到自己必须选择私立医疗。“有些事情是不能等待的，”她说，“我从事邮政相关工作，而且每天还要遛狗。这不仅仅是行动不便的问题——膝盖疼痛起来非常剧烈。”每次膝盖手术的费用约为 £16,000，而移除双眼白内障以及其他咨询和检查的费用为 £15,000。格林估计她总共花费了 £90,000——大约是她毕生积蓄的一半。尽管如此，她敏锐地意识到，其他人也处于同样绝望的境地，却无力支付治疗费用。“这耗尽了我很大一部分储备金，”她说，“我很庆幸我有钱去做手术，但我有家人处于那种情况。人们无法负担所需的护理，这令人心碎。” 5 月，卫生部在记录到 3 月候诊人数下降超过 500,000 人至 720 万 后，称在缩减治疗候诊名单的战斗中迎来了“重大时刻”，这是三年半以来的 20-pound 水平。然而，在疫情引发的持续人员和资金挑战中，人数随后又有所回升。“NHS 长期面临资金压力，在新冠疫情之前就已经在苦苦支撑，”达扬（Dayan）表示，并补充说，虽然候诊名单自 2020 年峰值以来显示出下降迹象，但这更像是“修修补补而非转型。没有哪个政府有时暗示过”。“为了持续地，我当时只是在勉强生存。我无法移动手臂，无法入睡，什么都做不了”取得进展，你确实需要一直有稳定的改善。但并没有某种立即见效的解决方案，”他说。 一些人士担心，资金短缺持续的时间越长，“两级”医疗体系就越会变得常态化，即那些能够“负担”私立医疗的人被含蓄地期望自行付费。像米尔顿（Milton）这样的财富规划师表示，在调整客户的未来财务计划时，他们越来越多地将客户可能需要花费数千英镑用于护理的可能性“纳入考虑”。即使对于那些有保险的人来说，由于供应商的上涨，最低限度将无法支付，因此在决定目标时，必须将其视为一项重大成本。“这可能是规划每年 £50,000 或 £20,000 的保险保费，或者他们可能需要每年花费 £20,000 或 £50,000 用于治疗，”米尔顿说。 格林的经历意味着她现在将一部分收入专项预留。“在放弃了候诊名单能缩短的希望后，她专门将其用于医疗保健。”她说：“我认为如果有人还觉得 NHS 会改善，那他们简直是在白日做梦。如果我需要做任何治疗，我会自动去当地的私立医院。我一周内就能预约到诊断，第二周就能拿到结果——我为什么要回到 NHS？” 卫生与社会护理部的一位发言人表示：“人们不应该为了医疗保健而支付私立费用。自 2016 年 7 月以来，我们将总候诊人数削减了 240,000 人，且在 18 周内接受治疗的人数比近五年来的任何时候都多。我们知道还有很多工作要做，但通过创纪录的资金投入和实施一代人以来最大规模的诊断能力扩张，我们将确保人们获得安全、及时的护理，且在就诊时免费。” 最佳选择 欲了解最新的实时利率，请访问 telegraph.co.uk / savingsheathays 或 telegraph.co.uk / mortgagesheathays 抵押贷款利率 | 机构

第一步：寻找房产 在研究社区、安排看房或与当地代理商沟通之前，值得花时间了解您将使用哪种货币购买。汇率每天都在波动，即使是微小的变动也会影响您的英镑预算能兑换多少欧元、加元或其他任何货币。在搜索初期通过电报媒体集团（Telegraph Media Group）由 Moneycorp 提供的国际汇款服务开设账户，可以让您获取实时市场信息、汇率提醒和专家支持。这些服务让您可以跟踪您的预算随时间推移如何转化为目标货币，从而就哪些房产在现实范围内做出更明智的决定。Moneycorp 的专家可以帮助您监测市场趋势，并了解利率变化或经济公告等外部因素如何影响您的购买力。在选择地点或评估潜在价格区间时，这些见解将具有极高的价值。 # 第二步：出价 一旦您找到了感觉合适的房产，汇率的影响力将变得更加显著。货币市场对利率公告、经济数据和全球事件反应迅速，因此，了解波动如何影响您未来住房的成本是明智的。Moneycorp 可以提供最新的市场动态更新，帮助您将实时汇率纳入出价考量。这样您就可以尽早设定预期，并为随后的购房流程建立基准。因此，无论您的预算是固定还是具有一定的灵活性，在这一阶段了解您的风险敞口将有助于您充满信心地推进。 # 第三步：支付房款 从支付定金到完成购买之间的时间段可能充满不确定性，且时间长到足以产生显著的货币波动。Moneycorp 提供多种工具帮助您管理此类风险。例如，远期合约（forward contract）允许您锁定未来转账的汇率，从而确定房产的最终成本。而对于希望利用有利市场波动的人，限价单（market orders）允许您设定一个理想的目标汇率，一旦市场达到该目标，交易将自动执行。 # 第四步：拿到钥匙之后 在交易完成后，汇率考量——如装修成本、当地税收、水电费和维护费用——仍可能使您面临风险。许多买家选择建立定期付款计划，固定汇率以提高转账和持续支出的可预测性。 # 零转账手续费及竞争力的汇率。 通过电报媒体集团（Telegraph Media Group）国际汇款向海外发送资金。 如需咨询顾问，请致电 Moneycorp 或立即访问网站。 0330 029 3519 # 使用远期合约管理风险 * 一对夫妇如何利用专业工具在购买西班牙南部度假屋时节省了 £19,000 当罗宾逊夫妇决定以 €500,000（约 £440,000）的价格在西班牙南部购买一套度假屋时，他们最初计划通过银行进行交易。然而，在接触到 Moneycorp 之后，他们了解到专业工具如何帮助他们管理成本和风险。2025 年 5 月，在距离交易完成还有两个月时，这对夫妇使用了一份远期合约，支付 10% 的定金，锁定了 1,95 / 7 的汇率。到 7 月交易完成时，汇率已下跌 4.41% 至 1,4 / 30。通过提前锁定汇率，这对夫妇节省了超过 £19,000，确保了他们的梦想之屋在预算之内。他们的经历仅是一个例子，说明谨慎的货币规划如何能对海外购房的总成本产生显著影响。 # 出售海外房产：自信地应对货币波动 出售海外房产伴随着其自身的财务考量——而汇率仍然是最重要的因素之一。无论您的计划是搬迁、释放资产净值还是重组投资，了解货币如何影响您的最终收益，都能帮助您更有效地进行规划。 # 全面审视财务状况 在将房产挂牌之前，评估所有相关成本是有帮助的。房产中介费、法律费用、当地税收，以及至关重要的货币兑换，都会影响交易完成后您收到的金额。与经验丰富的当地中介合作，可以为您提供关于价格趋势和市场状况的宝贵见解，确保您的预期从一开始就是现实的。 # 考虑税务义务 根据您的居民身份以及房产所在国家，您可能需要缴纳资本利得税或其他当地税款。在接受报价前寻求专业建议，可以帮助您避免在随后的过程中出现意外的债务责任。 # 管理销售收益受市场波动影响的风险 在接受报价与收到最终款项之间，汇率可能会发生显著变化。近年来，全球经济的转变凸显了市场的波动速度之快。即使是微小的波动，也可能对您收益的英镑价值产生显著影响。Moneycorp 提供多种外汇工具来帮助卖家管理这种风险。远期合约允许您提前固定汇率，为您收到的最终金额提供确定性。市场订单允许您设定目标汇率，一旦市场向有利方向移动，交易将自动完成。在经验丰富的货币专家的支持下，这些工具可以帮助您管理收益风险并简化流程。选择一个值得信赖的供应商，例如由 Moneycorp 提供的《电报》报纸媒体集团国际汇款服务，能为卖家在每一步提供专业知识和保障。 # 充分利用您可支配的工具 自信管理货币的方法 外汇市场波动迅速，但只要使用正确的工具，无论您是在海外买房、卖房还是管理日常开支，都能更有效地应对。由 Moneycorp 提供的《电报》报纸媒体集团国际汇款服务提供了一系列选项，旨在帮助个人做出更明智的决定并清晰地管理风险。 # 即期合约 对于即时转账，即期合约允许您约定汇率并立即发送资金。它们适用于支付定金、较小额的一次性转账或对时间要求至关重要的场景。 # 远期合约 远期合约使您能够为未来的转账锁定汇率，从而降低不利市场波动的风险，并让您能以更高的确定性提前规划。在进行大额未来付款时，例如在完成房产交易时，这一点尤为重要。 # 市价单 如果您在追求特定的汇率，市价单允许您设置所需的水平。Moneycorp 将监控市场，并在达到目标汇率时自动执行转账，帮助您充分利用任何有利条件。 # 定期付款计划 对于抵押贷款、养老金或公用事业账单等固定支出，定期付款计划允许您实现自动化转账，甚至可以将汇率固定长达两年，确保预算的可预测性。 这些外汇工具共同提供了一种灵活且令人安心的方式来管理您的国际付款，将专业知识与 24 / 7 在线访问或专用电话支持的便利性相结合。 以具有竞争力的汇率和零转账手续费进行国际付款。通过由外汇专家 Moneycorp 提供的《电报》媒体集团国际资金转账服务将资金汇往海外。 0330 029 3519 扫描此处开设个人账户 欲了解更多信息，请访问：https: / www.tenafour.com / 2020 / 08 / 1. 本文包含的信息是机密的，仅供个人使用。本文包含的信息不旨在用于本文包含信息的预期用途之外的任何目的，也不构成对本文包含信息的陈述。本文包含的信息不旨在用于预期用途 之外的任何目的。本文包含的信息不旨在用于本文包含信息的预期用途之外的任何目的。 --- 资金 # 我陷入了 £100,000 税务陷阱，但年薪仅 £95,000 在错过育儿补贴后，我们的读者担心英国税务海关总署（HMRC）有一套新系统，如果您接近阈值，该系统就会取消这项福利 # 亲爱的 Mike Q 我是一名普通的 PAYE 雇员，没有其他收入，但由于奖金增加，我的薪资正接近 £100,000 的关口。我原以为在收入达到 £100,000 之前，我可以安全地获得免税育儿补贴。我和妻子至少每三个月登录一次并确认我们的详细信息是最新的。然而，英国税务海关总署（HMRC）似乎有另一套系统，如果它认为任何人未来可能会突破 £100,000 的阈值，就会将其剔除，并要求他们提供证据以证明其符合条件。当我打电话询问时，这种做法被否认了，但他们不愿告诉我触发点的具体薪资是多少。我被告知他们只需要额外信息，但当我们下次使用该系统时，资金并未补齐。我对电话中的英国税务海关总署（HMRC）建议表示质疑，但对方并无帮助。他说他们不会通知人们其免税育儿补贴将无法补齐。我质疑这是否公平，我写这封信是因为英国税务海关总署（HMRC）必须在追回资金时才通知人们。我从未收到过关于此事的任何通知。只有在资金没有补齐时，您才会发现。我们损失了大约 £95, 虽然希望这将在未来的付款中补回。关于如何追回这笔钱，以及我们如何进行“强制审查”流程，对方从未给出任何说明，尽管我要求以书面形式提供。这就是该流程的运作方式吗？—— James # 亲爱的詹姆斯，感谢您向我反映这个问题。为了方便不熟悉该系统的读者，我先提供一些背景信息。政府在其“人生最佳起点”（Best Start in Life）网站上解释了免税儿童看护支持的运作方式，列出了以下步骤： - 为您的孩子开设一个在线儿童看护账户 - 通过在线账户搜索儿童看护提供者 - 向账户中存入资金。您每向该账户存入 24，政府将存入 £25，用于支付给您的儿童看护提供者。 - 通过您的在线账户使用该资金支付给您的儿童看护提供者 - 每三个月记录一次您获得免税儿童看护资格的情况 该系统的主要问题之一是 £100,000 的上限像是一个“悬崖边缘”。如果您超过这个限额，所有福利都将丧失。一旦跨过这个门槛，您将失去最高 £12,000 (£100) 的免税儿童看护福利，以及每周五小时的儿童看护权利。然而，我在指南中没有看到任何迹象表明，在低于 £100,000 或更低门槛时会有款项到账。 在得到您的许可后，我联系了英国税务海关总署（HMRC）的新闻办公室，以了解您的情况以及该政策的执行情况。我被告知，并没有所谓的收入“触发点”。然而，如果检查表明需要额外证据来确认持续的资格，英国税务海关总署（HMRC）可能会要求提供进一步信息。其中一些与预计收入有关，您可能会被要求提供关于您在当前纳税年度预计收入的更多细节。 看来您的情况是，您在四月份收到了一笔奖金，以至于在按年预估时，您的收入可能超过了 £100,000 的上限。英国税务海关总署（）表示，在 7 月 1, 的截止日期前要求提供进一步信息，以确定这是否会成为一个问题。您在 6 月 24. 通过给英国税务海关总署（）的信函提交了证据。我不完全清楚之后发生了什么，但显然出了某种差错，导致您的补贴款项被延迟。 在对您的情况进行审查并获得高级职员的报告后，英国税务海关总署（）的一位发言人表示： “我们已经与相关女士进行了沟通并表示道歉，并且我们正在向她偿还她错过的 £80 免税儿童看护补贴款项。我们还将向她发送一笔补偿金。” 因此，我希望这件事能尽快为您解决。英国税务海关总署（）已坦承在处理此事时存在人为错误，并向您的妻子道歉。我也了解到，英国税务海关总署（）正利用此次审查的结果，为相关顾问提供有意义的反馈和学习要点，以改进所提供的服务。我感谢英国税务海关总署（）的相关人员对此事的调查及其回应。 我注意到 £100,000 的门槛并非简单的直线。它是基于调整后的净收入，即个人免税额之前的应纳税收入，并扣除养老金缴款、礼品援助（gift aid）付款和部分工作费用——但它包括应纳税福利。这适用于每位单独的家长，而非合并的家庭收入。由于这些复杂因素，英国税务海关总署（）旨在让用户告知个人情况的相关变化。然而，这正是每三个月一次的免税资格审核的目的，也是为什么英国税务海关总署（）可能会要求进一步信息的原因。 关于您如何追回缺失金额的问题，政府允许您通过登录其补偿表格在网上办理——但在您的情况下，这将是不必要的，因为您将直接获得偿还。 # 露丝·埃默里调查您的消费者冠军 亲爱的露丝： 去年夏天，我在线申请了两种类型的持久授权书（LPA）：健康与福利，以及财产与财务事务。健康方面的申请顺利通过，并于 Sept 24. 登记。然而，我仍在等待财务 LPA。它似乎陷入了一个没人知道也不可能接触到的“黑洞”中。 我自己申请了 ，但不小心犯了一个错误，加入了一句关于我在家族公司持股的话，这实际上使该授权书失效了。我在11月给公共监护人办公室（OPG）打了电话，对方告诉我我有两个选择：要么提交一份新申请并再次付费，要么将修改后的 送交保护法院（Court of Protection）的法官，以确认其可以登记。我选择了后者，因为我觉得不应该再次付费，而且由于等待时间“大约”是三个月，采取第二种方案似乎更好。 事实证明这是一个巨大的错误。随后我被告知，从 Nov 5, 起需要等待 20 周，那天是我写信给 OPG 确认我同意删除退休条款的日期。然而，此后我完全没有收到任何消息。我在5月初致电 OPG 询问进展，在与一名工作人员进行了长时间交谈后，她说她不知道该 的当前状态。 将 分开处理简直太荒谬了。如果我明天 11 am 9th 很快就需要用到这些 ，那么我将只有其中一份而没有另一份，因此将担任代理人的我的三个女儿将不得不面对一场官僚主义的噩梦。保护法院——一个处理 这种法律文件运作的机构——竟然没有办法查明文件发生了什么，这怎么可能？ 我很想重新开始申请另一份财务 ，但我怀疑如果原件突然通过法院系统登记，我将不得不面对更大的噩梦来清理这个烂摊子。我希望您能帮我查出这份 到底怎么了。 —— W.R. 惠尔 亲爱的读者： 是一份重要的法律文件，它允许代理人（在您的案例中是您的女儿们）在您无法做出决定时代表您行事。例如，如果您患有类似疾病或患上认知障碍症，办理 是一个明智的决定，而且在 gov.uk 网站上自行办理相当简单。就财务授权书而言，它能让您安心，因为在需要时您的女儿们可以管理您的事务！ 然而，登记 并非快速过程，任何办理过的人都知道这可能需要几个月的时间。在过去几年中，还出现了大量延迟，因此一些 的登记时间远超政府设定的八周目标。 有趣的是，由司法部（MoJ）资助并负责持有 的机构 OPG 在上个月发布了年度报告，其中提到“财务 的积压工作[已]清理完毕”。然而，事实并非如此，因为您的申请仍然被困在积压之中。如果对您的 进行修正从 Nov 5, 起需要 20 周，您应该在 March 20. 之前收到文件。但也许这里用“积压”这个词并不准确，因为您担心授权书实际上是掉进了黑洞。令人沮丧的是，当您致电 OPG 询问进展时，您没有得到任何有效信息。 去年取消该 并提交一份全新的申请，可能比请求保护法院修改 要快。但可以理解，您不想再次支付 450 费用（该费用在 Nov 17. 后上涨至 200）。最初支付专业咨询费用来协助办理 可能也会更快，因为这样可以避免申请中的错误。 然而，无论如何，我需要与OPG（公众监护局）进行正式沟通，以便与法院联络，寻找您丢失的LPA（持久授权书）并尽快将其注册。几天后，司法部（MoJ）给我打电话，称财产与财务事务授权书现已注册，并已邮寄给您。当时您正在法国南部度假，收到我告知的这个消息时感到非常高兴。当您回到家时，一个特快专递信封正等着您。信封内的文件显示，法官已在4月9日签署了撤销该指令的命令，因此看来OPG将其搁置了几个月，直到我介入后，它才最终注册了LPA并将其寄给您。我询问司法部为何会出现如此严重的延误，一名发言人表示：“此案已得到解决，但我们知道，任何关于持久授权书的问题都可能让申请人感到沮丧和痛苦。我们收到的申请量很大，去年超过150 万份，其中大多数在8到10周内完成注册。” “特易购（Tesco）卖给我一张有缺陷的玛莎（M&S）礼品卡，且没人同意解决这个问题” 亲爱的露丝： 我想向您反映我所遭遇的糟糕客户服务，这涉及我于2023年5月为表亲购买的一张4500英镑的玛莎（M&S）礼品卡作为结婚礼物。该卡是在西米德兰兹郡斯托尔布里奇（Stourbridge）的Tesco Extra超市购买的。问题在我的表亲尝试在线使用该卡且交易被拒绝时显现。他前往当地的玛莎（M&S）门店，店员检查了该卡并告知其尚未激活。他们建议他联系特易购（Tesco）。随后，他前往斯托尔布里奇的Tesco Extra，出示了礼品卡和激活单。他被告知礼品卡上的号码与激活单上的号码不符，并被告知这是由玛莎（M&S）负责解决的问题，尽管特易购（）已经收取了该卡4500英镑的款项。接着，我的表亲联系了玛莎（M&S）的客户服务部门。他们表示无法解决此问题，因为记录显示该卡从未被激活。带着这个信息，他再次回到Tesco Extra。然而，他再次被告知这不是特易购（）的责任。我也尝试提供帮助，但发现很难找到特易购（）的联系电话，并花费了几个小时试图与能提供帮助的人沟通。随后我被告知通过WhatsApp沟通。在进行了多次电话沟通和WhatsApp消息往来后，我提交了一份正式投诉。最终，我收到特易购（）的一条消息，确认该卡未被正确激活，并称我应将礼品卡带到门店解决此事。然而，后来我被告知，特易购（）无法查看2023年7月之前的交易记录，此事必须重新调查。这种情况已经变成了一场彻头彻尾的噩梦。我再也不会在特易购（）购物了。——吉尔，布伦格罗夫（Jill, Brenngrove） 亲爱的读者： 遗憾的是，礼品卡问题在很多时候是一个常见的主题。有时，读者不知道是否存在某种限制，或者附带了某些信息。在其他情况下，读者无法消费礼品卡。这可能是因为某种诈骗，犯罪分子在礼品卡在商店展出时盗取背面的代码，并在客户购买之前将钱花掉。 将您的问题发送至电子邮件：Ruth Emery, redemering@retailgroup.co.uk 您也可以写信给露丝： Ruth at Telegraph House The Daily Telegraph 10 Burlington Place Road London SW1X 0EX 请勿发送原始文件。请在所有授权组织中包含地址、电话号码和原始姓名及地址，以便他们添加。如需完整访问，请访问 Instagram www.retailgroup.co.uk 然而，在您的情况下，特易购（Tesco）似乎已经承认在您购买礼品卡时未能正确激活。为了弄清楚特易购还是玛莎百货（M&S）应对这一失误负责，您经历了一场徒劳的奔波。根据消费者法，购买礼品卡的公司负责提供您所支付的商品。因此，销售礼品卡的零售商应处理任何初步问题。我与特易购进行了沟通，他们迅速处理了此事。一名发言人表示：“对于发生这种情况，我们深表歉意，并理解这种情况令人多么沮丧。我们已向读者道歉，在她首次联系我们时，就应该获得礼品卡全额的退款。遗憾的是，这次我们没有达到自己设定的高客户服务标准，且在纠正错误方面花费的时间比应有的更长。”您收到了 4500 的故障礼品卡退款，以及 120 的商誉补偿，您对此表示接受。POLAR CAPITAL Polar Capital Global Healthcare Trust plc #

托尼被指控袭击 足球 前锋因涉嫌在夜总会用头顶撞而面临法庭审理 英格兰球员可能无法参加对阵西班牙的比赛 作者：Jeremy Wilson 首席体育记者 英格兰足球运动员伊万·托尼（Ivan Toney）因涉嫌在索霍区（Soho）的一家夜总会用头顶撞而被指控袭击。在伦敦警察厅的调查后，这名 30 岁的前锋被指控袭击导致实际身体伤害。 曾入选英格兰世界杯阵容的托尼将于 9 月 24 日在威斯敏斯特治安法院出庭。两天后，英格兰将在温布利球场与世界冠军西班牙队进行一场欧国联比赛。 英足总已收到评论请求，但托尼在英格兰队中的位置必然面临严重质疑。 该指控涉及一起袭击事件（据了解为涉嫌用头顶撞），发生在去年 12 月沃多尔街（Wardour Street）的一处场所。托尼在现场被逮捕，涉嫌两项袭击罪和一项斗殴罪。随后他被保释。 “警方于 12 月 6 日星期六 00:47 收到报警，前往 W1 沃多尔街，” 12 月发布的一份警方声明称。“受害者被送往医院，其伤势被认为不影响生命或不危及生命。” 托尼的一位发言人表示：“伊万承认该指控，虽然他自然感到震惊，但他期待能有机会在法庭上洗清自己的名声。” 效力于沙特职业联赛俱乐部艾尔啊利（Al-Ahli）的托尼是英格兰世界杯阵容中的意外之选，英格兰队在今年夏天于北美举行的赛事中获得第三名。他在半决赛负于阿根廷的比赛中作为替补出场，并在“季军赛”中首发，英格兰在那场比赛中以 6-4 击败法国。 托尼在故乡俱乐部北安普顿开始其职业生涯，随后在布伦特福德（Brentford）于英超联赛成名，在效力该俱乐部的四年间，他在 141 场比赛中打入 72 球。 2022 年，托尼被指控 232 次违反英足总投注规则，被禁赛 8 个月。 托尼于 2024 年 1 月复出，随后在同年以 4000 万英镑 的身价转会至艾尔啊利，他在该俱乐部 93 场比赛中打入 72 球。 # 曼城拒绝巴塞罗那对罗德里的报价，认为其缺乏诚意 作者：詹姆斯·达克 (James Ducker) 北方足球特派记者 曼城已断然拒绝了巴塞罗那对罗德里的报价。巴塞罗那开出了价值 €45 (3860 万英镑) 的初始报价，外加附加条款，用于引进这位西班牙世界杯冠军队长；据了解，附加条款金额低于西班牙媒体报道的 €15。但曼城认为该报价不足以启动正式讨论，据信巴塞罗那必须大幅提高报价才能诱使曼城进入谈判桌。 伊蒂哈德球场的消息人士对俱乐部对罗德里的估值保持缄默。但据了解，如果要考虑出售这名防守型中场，报价需要几乎达到巴塞罗那 €45 报价的两倍。皇家马德里也曾探讨过引进罗德里的可能性，但据信如果他在这个夏天离开，巴塞罗那将是他的首选。 然而，曼城不愿让这位 30 岁的球员廉价离队的态度日益明确。罗德里与曼城的合同已进入最后 12 个月，而曼城提供的新合同方案依然有效。巴塞罗那似乎致力于促成这笔交易，但这家西班牙冠军球队必须显著提高其报价。 如果罗德里离队，曼城可能会寻找一名经验丰富的替代者——他们一直有允许希望离开的球员离队的传统，但对于任何潜在的出售都有明确的条件。 罗德里在上月底因背部问题接受了手术，预计这将使他缺席新赛季的开局。曼城目前正在亚洲进行季前巡回赛，明天将在首尔对阵马德里竞技。他们将在下周的社区盾杯中对阵阿森纳，并于 Aug 23 在主场对阵伯恩茅斯，开启他们的英超赛季。 无论罗德里的情况如何，曼城已经以 1.16 亿英镑 从诺丁汉森林签下了英格兰中场埃利奥特·安德森，并正在与里尔就 18, 岁的摩洛哥中场艾尤布·布阿迪的交易进行接洽。此外，由于蒂贾尼·赖因德斯（正吸引诺丁汉森林和纽卡斯尔的关注）以及尼科·冈萨雷斯的未来存在不确定性，曼城可能还会寻求引进另一名中场球员。 --- 2 *** 2026年8月8日，星期六 《电报》报纸 体育 足球 # 拉什福德将与将其放逐至“炸弹小队”的人重逢 前锋可能在对阵阿莫林执教的AC米兰时回归，但他在曼联的未来仍有待解决，詹姆斯·达克（James Ducker）报道 足球总有一种持久的本事能制造出意想不到的剧情，而下周末在波兰，可能又将上演一出涉及曼联、其最高薪球员以及前任主教练的戏码。去年夏天，马库斯·拉什福德被鲁本·阿莫林放逐，在被租借至巴塞罗那之前，他被强制要求与曼联一线队分开训练，成为所谓的“炸弹小队”成员。在那时，许多人——无论是在老特拉福德内部还是外部，甚至可能包括拉什福德本人——都认为他已经为曼联踢完了最后一场比赛。俱乐部将他的10号球衣交给了新加盟的马特乌斯·库尼亚。然而，12个月后，离开曼联的人变成了阿莫林，而令人惊讶的是，拉什福德可能会再次为他的青训俱乐部出战——而且巧合的是，对手正是那位迅速决定这位英格兰前锋在老特拉福德将不再有任何位置的主教练。 阿莫林现在执掌AC米兰，而他们恰好是曼联下周六在弗罗茨瓦夫的对手。届时，迈克尔·卡里克率领的球队将进行季前赛的最后一场比赛，随后于8月22日在赫尔城开启他们的英超赛季。这是拉什福德传奇故事中一个耐人寻味的分支剧情，随着这位28岁球员准备回归，且面临一场少有人能想象到的重逢，预计该事件将加速发展。由于转会窗口还将开启三周，拉什福德可能会回归一段时间，但仍有可能离队。如果他离开，曼联需要在某种程度上寻找替代者，而这本身将给本就微妙的局面增加时间压力。据信，几家英超俱乐部正在关注事态发展，欧洲方面仍有兴趣。下周将揭晓更多细节。 曼联今天在哥德堡面对巴黎圣日耳曼，赛后将立即飞往爱尔兰，在基尔代尔郡的梅努斯进行短期训练营。随后，他们将于周三在都柏林的克罗克公园球场对阵利兹联，之后前往波兰参加与米兰的比赛。拉什福德、他的英格兰队友科比·梅努以及阿根廷后卫利桑德罗·马丁内斯是卡里克阵中在世界杯后尚未回归的最后几名球员。卡里克计划如何将这三人重新整合到球队中仍有待观察，但考虑到在常规的季前测试和评估后，他们届时可能只进行了两天的训练，主教练可能会认为利兹联的比赛太早了。但如果拉什福德在对阵阿莫林的米兰队时出场，也不会令人惊讶。 综合考虑，他本希望今年夏天能将租借至巴塞罗那的经历转为永久转会。但这家加泰罗尼亚巨头选择放弃一项仅需€30 (2600 万英镑) 且分三期支付的买断选项，转而签下了纽卡斯尔的安东尼·戈登，随后又签下了多特蒙德的卡里姆·阿德耶米。究竟是拉什福德的薪水——由于俱乐部获得欧冠资格，其在曼联的周薪今年夏天增长了25%，达到£325,000——令巴塞罗那望而却步，还是他们更看好戈登和阿德耶米所能提供的东西，目前尚不清楚。然而，汉西·弗里克在一周前确实给人留下了一种印象，即他会想念拉什福德，后者在巴塞罗那赢得西甲冠军期间打入14球并贡献14次助攻。 “他是一名出色的球员，也是一个出色的人，”巴塞罗那主教练说道，“球队想念他，我也想念他，但这就是生活。”一年前，拉什福德在俱乐部亚洲季前巡演期间，在首尔5-0大胜大邱FC的比赛中为巴塞罗那进球。他当时一定认为那是职业生涯新篇章的开始。 自从7月14日以3500 万英镑签下尤里·蒂莱曼斯以来，曼联的转会活动有所放缓。这其中有多种原因，而拉什福德的未来是一个因素。任何针对左翼前锋或前锋的引进都直接 章节结束：马库斯·拉什福德上个月在社交媒体上发布了一张身穿巴塞罗那球衣的照片，此前这家加泰罗尼亚巨头选择不将其租借转为永久转会。 马库斯·拉什福德：我非常感谢俱乐部的所有人，让我在这里度过了一段如此积极且难忘的时光。我享受其中的每一个时刻，并将带走许多特别的回忆。我祝愿俱乐部及其所有支持者在接下来的赛季中运气十足，取得圆满成功。Visca el Barça（巴萨万岁）。 这与拉什福德的情况相关——他的合同还剩2年——因为他能胜任这两个位置，而其高昂的薪水规模实质性地影响了财务状况。许多球迷的情绪十分矛盾。在阿莫林执教的最后几个月里，人们对拉什福德的情感恶化，阿莫林曾公开质疑他在训练中的态度和投入，随后将其边缘化；许多人观看他在阿斯顿维拉以及随后在巴塞罗那租借期间的表现，不禁疑惑那个球员在曼联时去哪了。曼联球迷的接纳情况肯定会很有意思——有些人希望他离开——而这将增加拉什福德再次提升表现的压力。但历史告诉我们，这通常是几个进球和一些出色的表现就能解决的问题。如果他能重新焕发活力、保持健康且专注，拉什福德仍将是英超联赛最顶尖的前锋之一，并且对于与他关系良好的卡里克来说是一笔重要资产。在转会窗如此晚的阶段签下一名质量相当的球员将既困难又昂贵，同样，如果有一家英超领先竞争对手来敲门，将其卖给对方也会存在固有风险。据了解，一些拉什福德在曼联的队友告诉他，他们期待他的回归。 这也不是这名前锋离开时的那支球队了。阿莫林已经离职——他那备受争议的3-4-2-1阵型也随之而去——进攻线得到了库尼亚、布莱恩·姆贝莫和本杰明·塞斯科等人的补充。布鲁诺·费尔南德斯依然强大，中场也经过了重组，尽管如果能再增加1名成员将会更有利。曼联不能仅依赖31岁的卢克·肖，并且正在市场上寻找一名新的左后卫，但拉什福德在那个边路与肖搭档时往往状态最佳。 拉什福德本想在西班牙继续他的冒险，且最终仍可能留在海外。但在曼联的圈子里待了二十多年后，这12个月体验新国家、新文化和新联赛的经历，无疑会开阔他的视野，并提供重新调整和思考的时间。长期的分离可能对双方都有好处。如果存在紧张关系，它们更有可能隐藏在幕后。但如果拉什福德留下，卡里克唯一关心的将是获得一个仍有能力成为强力武器的球员的最佳状态。 --- ... 3 # 维加尔悲剧后，球场周界墙被禁用 作者：伊恩·帕克 (Ian Parker) 在由一名前阿森纳青年前锋之死引发的安全审查后，国家联赛系统（National League System）中的俱乐部必须拆除球场周围的砖墙或混凝土墙，或使用缓冲垫对其进行覆盖。 奇切斯特城队的比利·维加尔（Billy Vigar）去年9月在温盖特和芬奇利（Wingate and Finchley）的一场比赛中，因试图将球留在场内而撞上混凝土护栏，导致脑损伤，年仅21岁便不幸去世。 在进行安全审查后，英格兰足球协会（FA）发布了新的球场周界标准，对于参加男子国家联赛系统（第一级至第六级）和女子国家联赛（第三级至第四级）的俱乐部，“不再允许在球场周围设置实心砖墙、空心砖墙或混凝土护栏”。 英足协表示：“任何现有的实心砖墙、空心砖墙或混凝土护栏必须在合理可行的情况下尽快拆除；如果因结构原因无法拆除，则必须覆盖合适的保护措施。” “我们已通知该级别的相关俱乐部，他们需要根据这些变化采取行动。” “在此期间，受影响的球场可以继续举行比赛；然而，俱乐部应持续评估其球场周界护栏的安全性，并且如果在本次审查中建议对这些结构进行修改，他们应制定计划在合理的时间范围内完成此类修改。” 据了解，在相关级别的约900家俱乐部中，约有160家俱乐部已被告知其体育场中至少有一个元素必须进行修改。 英足协和英超联赛将为必要的工程提供资金。 英足协表示：“该计划的初始阶段已经启动，我们将继续为参与此过程的俱乐部提供全面支持。” 在维加尔去世之前，职业足球运动员协会（PFA）就一直在推动进行安全审查，此前在2022年发生的一起事故导致巴斯城队的亚历克斯·弗莱彻（Alex Fletcher）陷入昏迷。 2023年6月，PFA和时任体育大臣斯图尔特·安德鲁（Stuart Andrew）致信英足协、英超联赛、英格兰足球联赛和国家联赛，呼吁他们主动审查球场周界的安全性。 在昨天的公告发布后，PFA的一位发言人对这一举措表示欢迎，但表示：“现在重要的是，拆除此类墙壁的进展——以及在拆除前对风险的有效缓解——必须得到妥善监督，并且俱乐部应获得他们所需的支持。” --- 4 *** 体育 足球 # 因凡蒂诺可能如何被国际足球联合会强制出局 即便在对其行为进行调查之后，要将足球界最有权力的人赶下台依然并非易事。 作者：杰里米·威尔逊 (Jeremy Wilson) 随着《电报》报纸今日披露的消息——一名据称与他有染的女性获得了欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）的赔偿金——詹尼·因凡蒂诺作为国际足球联合会（FIFA）主席的地位比以往任何时候都更加危险。 我们的报道详细讲述了该女性在同意离开欧足联后如何获得数万英镑，而此前她据称与因凡蒂诺存在关系，当时因凡蒂诺是该组织的秘书长。 在因凡蒂诺失败的£15bn世界杯出售计划之后，他已经面临着包括英格兰足球协会在内的辞职要求。 但《电报》报纸对他此前在欧足联行为的调查，现在将使他的职位面临新的审查。 直到今天，因凡蒂诺一直拒绝辞职，即便他在私募股权计划事件后表达了歉意——但我们对他行为的调查现在将增加他所面临的压力。 # 因凡蒂诺会辞职吗？即便在这些新信息曝光之后，因凡蒂诺迅速辞职的可能性似乎依然不大。几乎没有迹象表明，即便这次丑闻也动摇了他的自信心，以及他继续担任这一年薪 450 万英镑 职位的欲望——该职位让他能够接触世界领导人和名流，并包括在今年夏天的世界杯期间使用私人飞机出行。那么，似乎只剩下推翻他的威胁了。本周，他与国际足球联合会秘书长马蒂亚斯·格拉夫斯特伦（Mattias Grafstrom）在女子非洲国家杯上发表声明并公开展现团结，凸显了他试图寻找出路的愿望。然而，该声明仅限于声称得到了管理委员会中“出席人员”的全力支持。《电报》体育版获悉，缺席拉巴特峰会的人员包括：国际足球联合会全球足球发展主管阿尔塞纳·温格（Arsène Wenger）；首席足球官吉尔·埃利斯（Jill Ellis）；首席女子足球官萨莱·巴雷曼（Sarai Bareman）；以及首席运营官凯文·拉穆尔（Kevin Lamour）。因凡蒂诺昨晚否认了这些指控，声称其不属实，且不存在任何“不当行为”。 # 他如何才会被迫下台？最简单的方式是辞职。如果我们排除这种可能性，那么最明显的机制就是3月的选举。如果有足够的协会撤回支持，并且出现一名可靠的候选人，他可能会在选举中落败，或者决定不再参选。今天的披露可能会让各协会在支持他之前三思。从假设上讲，国际足球联合会的章程包含了处理任何违反伦理行为的程序，但在本周的声明中值得注意的是，尽管承认出现了错误，但国际足球联合会强调，关于“国际足球联合会前行企业”（Fifa Forward Enterprise）提案的“所有操作均完全符合国际足球联合会的监管框架”。在这些正式机制之外，来自世界领导人、成员协会、广播公司和赞助商的政治压力之重，可能会达到难以忍受的程度。 谁会投票反对他？英格兰足协已加入欧洲足球协会联盟领导者的行列，对詹尼·因凡蒂诺表示失去信心。欧洲足球协会联盟强调，在周三的峰会之后，这仍然是其立场，并要求获得“具有约束力的保证”，确保类似的计划永远不再制定。除了欧洲，管理北美、中美洲和加勒比海足球的中北美及加勒比足联（Concacaf）的领导人也表达了反对，但其成员之间是否具有同等程度的统一性尚不清楚。一份代表中北美及加勒比足联国家的声明称，该计划是“领导层不再将足球放在首位的症状”。 在即将到来的选举中，国际足球联合会的211个成员协会无论规模大小，均拥有1票，这意味着欧洲国家在球场上的足球实力并不反映其投票影响力。欧洲足球协会联盟拥有55票，其他五个联合会拥有156票，局势依然在变动中。 谁会投票支持他？因凡蒂诺传统的权力基础来自非洲、亚洲和南美洲。明年的主席选举将在摩洛哥首都拉巴特举行，在周三的会议之后，全球各地出现了公开的支持表态。代表54个成员协会的非洲足球联合会（Caf）的一份声明称：“非洲足球联合会执行委员会也一致重新确认对国际足球联合会主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺的支持。”墨西哥足球协会打破了与中北美及加勒比足联的阵线，公开表示支持因凡蒂诺。阿根廷足球协会也支持他，并对其过去十年的领导表示支持。这一立场反映了南美洲大部分地区的支持。在我们的报道发布前几个小时，因凡蒂诺昨日出现在哥伦比亚的卡利机场，在会见哥伦比亚足球协会主席拉蒙·杰苏伦（Ramón Jesurún）时笑容满面。 谁能取代他？中北美及加勒比足联主席维克多·蒙塔利亚尼（Victor Montagliani）被认为是可能的候选人。中北美及加勒比足联对因凡蒂诺最初的计划发出了最强烈的反驳之一，而身为国际足球联合会副主席的加拿大籍蒙塔利亚尼则一直保持明显的沉默。巴黎圣日耳曼主席兼欧洲足球俱乐部协会主席纳赛尔·阿尔-赫莱菲（Nasser Al-Khelaifi）被视为另一位竞争者，尽管他与该职位保持距离。内部候选人可能是拉穆尔（Lamour），一名与因凡蒂诺计划保持距离的国际足球联合会法国高级雇员。拉穆尔没有参加本周在摩洛哥举行的峰会，但他表示：“足球政治领导人们是时候问自己正确的问题了。” 欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）主席亚历山大·塞莱林（Aleksander Celerin）仍是一名潜在候选人——且他的组织一直领导着反对因凡蒂诺计划的斗争——但目前尚不清楚他是否会参选。挪威足球协会主席、积极奔走的莉丝·克拉文内斯（Lise Klaveness）将获得支持，因为她曾就国际足球联合会（FIFA）的争议问题公开表态，包括其和平奖以及在世界杯期间撤销美国前锋福拉林·巴洛根（Folarin Balogun）禁赛决定等问题。然而，对于潜在候选人来说，问题在于，如果因凡蒂诺已经建立了一个支持者联盟，那么参选是否值得，以及他们是否最好等待未来的机会。--- 体育 足球 # 萨拉赫斩获土耳其数百万薪酬——但此举伴随风险警告 **在提供巨额免税工资的国家中，最新一位高知名度签约球员必须接受付款风险，迈克·麦格拉思（Mike McGrath）撰文报道** 在谈到将球员转会至土耳其时，借用一位顶尖经纪人的话来说：“数字很诱人，但它伴随着风险警告。” 周三，穆罕默德·萨拉赫（Mohamed Salah）抵达伊斯坦布尔，随后完成了向特拉布宗体育（Trabzonspor）的丰厚转会。相关画面展示了加盟超级联赛的吸引力——数千名球迷在机场迎接他们的新英雄。 在萨拉赫完成体检并签署为期两年的合同期间，他的每一步动向都被追踪。 但对于每一个选择土耳其的高知名度签约者（无论是球员还是教练）来说，结果并不总是理想的。曾有报道称，球员被要求等待薪水，或者未能收到全额款项。又或者，如果球员受伤或失宠，俱乐部会寻找理由不全额支付。 不过，球员也受到一项规则的保护：如果连续三个月未获得薪水，他们可以自由转会离开。 三年前，土耳其俱乐部大力推动引进球星，但并非所有人都留任时间较长。威尔弗里德·扎哈（Wilfried Zaha）在2023年作为高知名度的博斯曼自由转会加盟加拉塔萨雷，但次赛季他被租借至里昂，随后在上赛季加盟了美国职业足球大联盟的夏洛特FC。 巴西门将埃德森（Ederson）在从曼城转会加盟费内巴切仅一个赛季后，据广泛报道希望离开。他在若泽·穆里尼奥（Jose Mourinho）担任主教练期间被引进，但这位“特别之人”在赛季初被解雇。 尽管有这些警示故事，但当球员代表评估市场时，土耳其比以往任何时候都更是一个可行的选择。 看看这个夏天就知道了，在今年早些时候宣布将离开利物浦且沙特阿拉伯表达兴趣之后，一名英超最伟大的球员之一加盟了特拉布宗体育。 由于合同到期，沙特职业联赛在今年夏天失去了一批高知名度球员。英超冠军里亚德·马赫雷斯（Riyad Mahrez）、乔治尼奥·维纳尔杜姆（Georginio Wijnaldum）和克里斯·斯莫林（Chris Smalling）相继离开，约翰·杜兰（Jhon Duran）、马塞洛·布罗佐维奇（Marcelo Brozovic）、法兰克·凯西（Franck Kessié）和阿布杜莱·杜库雷（Abdoulaye Doucouré）也是如此。 与此同时，土耳其俱乐部在转会市场上非常活跃，甚至与英超相比也是如此。梅森·格林伍德（Mason Greenwood）现在效力于费内巴切，内森·阿克（Nathan Ake）同样如此。而贝西克塔斯（Besiktas）在莱安德罗·特罗斯萨德（Leandro Trossard）随阿森纳赢得英超冠军仅几个月后，就将其签下。 为什么土耳其如此有吸引力？ 转会交易中的数字非常可观，因为工资是以税后净额支付的。因此，萨拉赫在特拉布宗体育每赛季至少赚取1450 万英镑，这是一笔惊人的交易，而且这还没有加上奖金。这相当于在英格兰每周获得超过£500,000。 “基本上，他们拿到的钱是净额。没有纳税责任。由俱乐部支付他们的税款，”一名土耳其经纪人说道。 这并不是说土耳其没有所得税，而仅仅是俱乐部可以处理工资单的这部分内容。这使得超级联赛在薪资方面成为沙特阿拉伯的直接竞争对手。 虽然克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多（Cristiano Ronaldo）已与利雅得胜利（Al-Nassr）达成新协议，但沙特职业联赛对球员的大规模投入和丰厚交易总体呈下降趋势。布鲁诺·费尔南德斯（Bruno Fernandes）曾在一年多前谈到过一份前往中东踢球的报价。凯文·德布劳内（Kevin De Bruyne）作为自由球员加盟了那不勒斯。 勇敢新世界：在加盟特拉布宗体育后，穆罕默德·萨拉赫在伊斯坦布尔机场受到英雄般的欢迎；莱安德罗·特罗斯萨德（左）在贝西克塔斯向球迷介绍。 在沙特阿拉伯专注于成为八年后世界杯东道主的背景下，萨拉赫本将是一个理想的签约目标，但他选择了土耳其。 土耳其四大俱乐部——加拉塔萨雷、费内巴切、贝西克塔斯和特拉布宗体育——的合计债务超过30亿欧元，但其现金流足以支撑支付高额薪水。据报道，加拉塔萨雷将其弗洛里亚（Florya）训练基地场地以超过4 亿英镑m的价格出售给了伊斯坦布尔大都会市政府。他们还出售了阿里·萨米·延体育场（Ali Sami Yen Stadium）的命名权，该球场现名为 Rams Park。上赛季他们在那里击败利物浦时，由维克托·奥斯梅恩（Victor Osimhen）打入制胜球，这位身价€75m的球员曾一度接近加盟切尔西。费内巴切的前主席阿里·科奇（Ali Koc）来自该国最富有的家庭之一，这解释了他在俱乐部任职期间的财力。他们还擅长挖掘天才并以巨额利润出售，例如费尔迪·卡迪奥卢（3000万欧元）加盟英超的布莱顿，以及阿尔达·古莱尔（2800万欧元）加盟皇家马德里。萨拉与特拉布宗体育的交易很可能通过赞助资金支持，该俱乐部与土耳其航空以及电动汽车制造商 Togg 签有协议。就在这位埃及球员签约后不久，土耳其航空宣布开通开罗与特拉布宗之间的直飞航班。传统上，转会至土耳其被认为是球员在职业生涯末期度日。罗宾·范佩西在随曼联赢得英超冠军后加盟了费内巴切。前英格兰前锋达里乌斯·瓦塞尔在抵达安卡拉古且（Ankaragucu）转会时受到了球迷的迎接——而他对此显得十分震惊。 # 马洛尼称奥尼尔已出院且“状态良好” 作者：Pete Whitfield 据助理肖恩·马洛尼（Shaun Maloney）透露，凯尔特人队主教练马丁·奥尼尔（Martin O'Neill）已经出院，且“状态良好”。这家帕克海德（Parkhead）俱乐部在周三宣布，这位 74 岁的北爱尔兰人接受了一次“小手术”。 在明天于橄榄球公园球场（Rugby Park）与基尔马诺克队（Kilmarnock）进行的一场顶级联赛对决之前，马洛尼给出了乐观的预后，尽管目前尚不确定奥尼尔是否会出现在教练席上。 马洛尼表示：“他昨天出院了。昨晚他的状态很好，比周一、周二好得多。希望这种积极的情况能持续下去。” “没有具体的时间表。所以即使是周末的比赛，也得视具体情况而定。我们昨晚见到了他，讨论了比赛的准备工作。” # 富阶森加盟水晶宫 水晶 Palace 在试训成功后，已完成对前阿森纳后卫富阶森（Takehiro Tomiyasu）的签约。 这位日本国脚在酋长球场度过了四个赛季，于 2025 年离开并加盟阿贾克斯（Ajax）。他是主教练皮埃尔·萨格（Pierre Sage）自 6 月接手以来签下的第二名球员。 他在阿森纳的所有赛事中出场 84 次，但最后一个赛季几乎因膝伤缺席全部比赛。 水晶宫主席史蒂夫·帕里什（Steve Parish）表示：“富阶森拥有欧洲和国际足球最高水平的经验。我们很高兴能迎来一名如此水准的球员加盟俱乐部。” --- 6 *** 体育 足球 # 纽卡斯尔的乐观基调很快将 俱乐部对此持乐观态度，认为雅斯莱（Jaissle）是一位“特别”的教练，但卢克·爱德华兹（Luke Edwards）在拉曼加（La Manga）写道，人才的流失可能会付出沉重代价。 对于纽卡斯尔联队的体育总监罗斯·威尔逊（Ross Wilson）来说，这是一个动荡的夏天。他处理了三名球星的出售，并失去了埃迪·豪（Eddie Howe），而后者在说服他接任该职位方面起到了关键作用。不过，在与威尔逊交谈时，乐观情绪并不匮乏。当其他人将俱乐部在沙特阿拉伯所有者领导下的现状描绘成阴郁、令人沮丧的画面时，威尔逊始终保持着不知疲倦的乐观。这也是他与俱乐部首席执行官大卫·霍金森（David Hopkinson）建立起深厚联系的原因之一，后者的默认设置就是“不懈的乐观”。 前纽卡斯尔队长艾伦·希雷尔（Alan Shearer）认为，在两周后谈论停止、行动开始的“极具挑战性的赛季”中，他们将迎来一次“现实冲击”。希雷尔担心在短时间内失去如此多关键球员会严重削弱球队，并且对用有前途的年轻人取代资深球星并延续此前成功的想法持怀疑态度。希雷尔表示：“如果每个赛季只要卖掉最好的球员，然后用年轻人来补充俱乐部就行，那么每个人都会这么做。纽卡斯尔还有很多工作要做。” 然而，威尔逊对所做的决定并不感到抱歉。确实有一些艰难的决定，尤其是将队长布鲁诺·吉马良斯（Bruno Guimaraes）以 7500 万英镑 的价格出售给阿森纳，这比他们预期的至少少了 1000 万英镑。但一旦球员重复表示想要离开，纽卡斯尔就几乎没有选择。 “我们正试图创建一套适合我们的模式，”威尔逊在纽卡斯尔位于拉曼加的季前训练营中，在今天与瓦伦西亚的友谊赛前表示。“我说这话是对过去所取得成就的最高尊重。” “我们必须在这里建立一个能够竞争、获胜，且适合我们的模式，这样我们就不用被迫出售不想出售的球员，也不会导致欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）的制裁。” “我们正试图在成年男子一线队、青训学院以及女子球队中建立一个统一的模式。我在俱乐部内部尝试使用频率最高的一个词就是‘协同’。” 只有时间才能证明，积极的想法和能量、极强的职业道德以及“一切皆有可能”的态度是否真的能驱动纽卡斯尔。 记录进展：纽卡斯尔的球员和工作人员在拉曼加训练营中，朝着 2030 年成为欧洲顶尖球队的目标前进。 威尔逊和霍金森坚信这是可行的，并且在评估纽卡斯尔发生的事情时，似乎很享受将悲观主义者以及那些嘲讽者拒之门外。 在过去的 12 个月里，纽卡斯尔出售了四名最优秀的球员（亚历山大·伊萨克、安东尼·戈登、桑德罗·托纳利和队长吉马良斯），这些球员曾在 2025 年帮助俱乐部赢得了 70 年来的首座国内奖杯，并两次获得欧冠资格。他们因违反欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）的支出规则而被罚款 515 万英镑，并签署了足球界相当于还款计划的协议以避免进一步处罚。此外，与英超“六大”俱乐部的收入差距仍是数亿而非数千万。 在外界看来，这个项目正在陷入困境。在现代 era. 俱乐部最成功的教练豪的带领下，球队上赛季排名第 12 位。 然而，威尔逊坚信他选定并追随以接替豪的马蒂亚斯·雅斯莱（Matthias Jaissle）将证明他能将俱乐部带向更高水平。 关于雅斯莱，一个被反复使用的词是“特别”。纽卡斯尔的高层认为，他们已经获得了一位很快将进入欧洲教练顶尖行列的人才。 我们将拭目以待，这位 38 岁教练的这种评价在面对残酷且无情的英超赛季时能否幸存。 但在赛季首场主场对阵利物浦的两周前，威尔逊想要解释这次不受欢迎的吉马良斯出售事件。 “我们不想出售布鲁诺，” --- *** # 开路先锋马西-埃利斯将退役并停止执裁 作者：罗伯特·奥康纳 (Robert O'Connor) 助理裁判希安·马西-埃利斯 (Sian Massey-Ellis) 将在结束其自述为“超越了我所有想象”的职业生涯后退役。马西-埃利斯将在结束其始于 2010 年的英超联赛职业生涯后，开始在英足总担任女性裁判高级经理的工作。在英超期间，她执裁了 150 场以上的比赛。当时，她是仅第二位在英格兰顶级联赛比赛中工作的女性裁判，此后她成为了唯一一名参与过足总杯决赛执裁团队的女性，分别在 2021 年和 2025 年担任助理 VAR。 由于她在足球执裁方面的影响力以及对代表性（representation）的承诺，她于 2016 年被授予 MBE 勋章，并被选入 2019 年和 2023 年的国际足球联合会（FIFA）女足世界杯。 马西-埃利斯在声明中表示：“从在我的首场比赛前站在英超联赛标志下，到在国际足球联合会（FIFA）世界杯、欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）欧洲杯、欧冠决赛以及英格兰国内各项赛事和比赛中执裁，足球带我经历了一场超越我所有想象的旅程。每一次机会都是一种荣幸，我从未将其视为理所当然。” 突破性成就：希安·马西-埃利斯是唯一一名参与过足总杯决赛执裁团队的女性。 “在我的整个职业生涯中，足球挑战了我，考验了我的韧性，并推动我成为一名更好的专业人员和更好的人。虽然有令人难忘的高光时刻和艰难时刻，但我最珍视的是定义了我这段旅程的人们和经历。” “尽管我将离开边线，但我并没有离开足球。如果我的旅程能帮助改变观念、开启机会，或者激励哪怕一个年轻人相信自己属于这项运动，那么我会将其视为我最大的成就之一。” “我很兴奋能够有机会帮助支持、培养并激励下一代比赛裁判，将一些东西回馈给对我如此之多的这项运动。” “在我准备最后一次走上球场时，我心中充满了感激。能够服务于我热爱的这项运动并代表英格兰执裁队伍，是我最大的荣誉。对于那个仅仅热爱裁判工作并梦想能够达到顶峰的小女孩——我们做到了。谢谢你，足球。” # 面对残酷的顶级联赛现实 他说：“他是我们的队长，对我们非常重要，而关于他的身价之争……对于他这个年龄的[中场球员]来说，这是一个世界纪录级别的转会费。他实际上告诉了我们他想离开。当我们在[谈判中]达到某个具体数字时，这会影响我们的思考方式。” “但我们必须灵活。我们的计划中可能是签下一名球员，但如果我们没签到，我们就转向另一名。我们很希望布鲁诺（Bruno）能留在我们的阵容中，但我确信其他失去了球员的俱乐部也同样希望他们能留在自己的阵容里。” “这就是我们生活的世界，我们必须适应，必须做出反应。失去这样一名重要的球员令人失望，但如果一名非常重要的球员不想在这里踢球，这是我们唯一能做的决定。” 考虑到如此剧烈的变动，雅斯莱 (Jaissle) 已经承认这将会是一个“过渡赛季”。 #

罗纳尔多在引导儿子职业生涯的同时，守护着一个16年的秘密 全世界都对克里斯蒂亚诺二世（Cristiano Jnr）的故事痴迷不已，但他的父亲却将其中一个章节保持为谜，本·鲁姆斯比（Ben Rumsby）报道。 克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多冲向禁区内的一记传球，在球击中横梁后直接破门，随后他跑向角旗区，做出了标志性的“SIUUUU”庆祝动作。就像任何罗纳尔多进球的片段一样，去年5月发布在葡萄牙国家队社交媒体账号上的这段视频吸引了数百万次的观看、点赞和评论。 然而，这名身穿红色球衣、背号为7号的罗纳尔多，并不是那个几乎拥有俱乐部和国际赛场所有进球记录的男人。相反，他是他的儿子，同样名叫克里斯蒂亚诺，而这个进球是这位前锋为葡萄牙队打入的首球。准确地说，是在葡萄牙U-15队以3-2战胜克罗地亚的比赛中，当时14岁的他还在比赛中打入了一个近距离头球。 近六个月后，在年满15岁之际，这位青少年再次展现才华，这次他为国家U-16队打入了首球，相关视频同样在网络上疯传。罗纳尔多二世在今年5月的一项欧洲足球协会联盟（UEFA）发展赛中打入两球；与此同时，他的父亲在沙特职业联赛赛季的最后一天为利雅得胜利（Al Nasr）打入两球，结束了赢得该冠军的痛苦等待。 他的16岁生日庆祝活动恰逢他的父亲率领葡萄牙队出战世界杯，在那届赛事中，41岁的罗纳尔多成为了首位在六届世界杯决赛圈均有进球的球员。 著名足球运动员之子追随父亲的脚步并非新鲜事。但很少有像这次这样，人们对一名球员后代如此痴迷。这种痴迷从罗纳尔多成为父亲的那天起就显而易见，而那次怀孕的情况至今仍是个谜，时间是2010年6月17日。 在两周多之后通过社交媒体宣布克里斯蒂亚诺出生时，罗纳尔多写道：“我怀着巨大的喜悦和激动地告知大家，我最近成为了一个男婴的父亲。根据与孩子母亲的约定（她希望保持身份保密），我的儿子将由我独立监护。关于此事将不再提供进一步信息，我请求每个人充分尊重我的隐私权（以及孩子的隐私权），至少在像这样私人的问题上是如此。” 这个消息如此令人惊讶，以至于《电报》报纸体育版在报道罗纳尔多的帖子时，甚至质疑“该声明的内容是真实的，还是黑客所为”。很明显，罗纳尔多当时并未在加利福尼亚州的拉梅萨（La Mesa）陪产，因为他当时正在南非参加世界杯。 在随后的近16年里，他信守诺言，没有透露儿子是如何受孕的，也没有透露母亲的身份。他在2015年11月的《乔纳森·罗斯秀》（The Jonathan Ross Show）中表示：“人们猜测我和这个女孩或那个女孩在一起，或者有代孕母亲。我从未告诉过任何人，以后也不会……当克里斯蒂亚诺长大时，我一定会告诉他真相，因为他值得，因为他是我的儿子，但我不会因为人们想让我说就说。” 罗纳尔多在2017年通过代孕生下双胞胎，这仅仅是加剧了关于其长子身世的猜测。在克里斯蒂亚诺出生后，公众目击该婴儿的机会相对较少，2010年12月的一张照片显示，他的祖母的伴侣何塞·安德拉德（Jose Andrade）在皇家马德里与欧塞尔的一场欧冠比赛中抱着他。 家庭相似之处：克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多今年夏天在海滩上与儿子摆出熟悉的姿势；（插图）克里斯蒂亚诺二世去年为葡萄牙U-15队进球后的庆祝动作，以及罗纳尔多在今年夏天世界杯上为葡萄牙队出战的场景。 但随着他接近入学年龄，他的露面次数越来越多，最著名的是在他四岁时，当时他的父亲赢得了五座金球奖中的第三座。在一些可爱的画面中，小克里斯蒂亚诺被拍到与利昂内尔·梅西见面，并闯入了奖杯颁奖仪式。罗纳尔多告诉 Cadena SER 广播电台：“在未来，我可以想象自己将金球奖颁给我的儿子。”罗纳尔多还开始在社交媒体上向其数千万追随者发布儿子的照片和视频。其中包括 2015 年 8 月的一张照片，两人赤裸上身，腰间围着白毛巾，罗纳尔多配文道：“有其父必有其子。”随后出现了许多类似的图片和视频，将小克里斯蒂亚诺塑造为父亲的“缩小版”。其中一段视频显示，点球专家罗纳尔多挑战儿子在三次尝试中射门得分，否则就得面对“10 个俯卧撑”。尽管这个孩子在第三次尝试时射门得分，罗纳尔多还是命令他执行惩罚。“但我得分了，”小克里斯蒂亚诺抗议道，而他的父亲回答说：“不管怎样，去做。快点，只有 10 个。” 此后的生活对于这对父子来说并不总是充满乐趣和游戏。2017 年 4 月，有消息称罗纳尔多被指控在小克里斯蒂亚诺出生前一年在拉斯维加斯强奸一名女性。罗纳尔多一直否认任何不当行为，且从未因该指控被起诉，据称他与指控者达成了一项庭外和解。在 2019 年谈到这些指控时，他告诉《早安英国》（Good Morning Britain）：“我记得有一天我……他在父亲从马德里转会后加入了尤文图斯九岁以下队 —— *** ……在家里客厅和我的女朋友一起看电视，看到新闻里在说‘克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多这个那个’。我听到孩子们走下楼梯的声音，我就换了频道，因为我觉得很尴尬。我换频道只是为了不让小克里斯蒂亚诺看到他们那样诋毁他的父亲，关于一个非常糟糕的案件。” 那个案件并没有阻止罗纳尔多在 2017 年 6 月赢得五次欧冠冠军中的第四次，就在他第二次成为父亲的前几天。在那年的决赛后，还出现了一段视频，显示穿着皇马球衣的小克里斯蒂亚诺在卡迪夫的千禧体育场（Principality Stadium）面对 65,000 多名观众展示他的盘球技巧。次年，在父亲从马德里转会到都灵后，他加入了尤文图斯九岁以下队，并在首秀中打入四球。几个月后，罗纳尔多发布了一张儿子在奖杯旁摆姿势的照片。2020 年 2 月，在 jemincristianoronaldo2010 发布了一段他用四种语言说话的介绍视频后，小克里斯蒂亚诺似乎开设了自己的 Instagram 账号。该账号在 24 小时内积累了近 900,000 名追随者，但随后似乎被停用了。Instagram 要求用户必须年满 13 岁。 当罗纳尔多在 2021 年夏天戏剧性地回归曼联时，小克里斯蒂亚诺加入了俱乐部的青训学院，在那里他与韦恩·鲁尼的儿子凯（Kai）在同一支球队效力。在曼联期间，他和家人遭遇了一场个人悲剧，他的同父异母兄弟安赫尔（Angel）在 2022 年 4 月分娩期间去世。到那时，罗纳尔多回归曼联的经历已开始变得糟糕，并在当年 11 月与皮尔斯·摩根（Piers Morgan）在 Talk TV 的那场爆炸性采访中达到顶峰。在俱乐部因他拒绝在对阵托特纳姆热刺的一场英超比赛中离开替补席而将其禁赛后，他说道：“我记得回到家，克里斯蒂亚诺看到我说，‘爸爸，你没去比赛吗？’我说，‘没去，因为俱乐部惩罚了我三天’。然后他说，‘如果你是世界上最好的球员而且你不能上场，他们怎么能惩罚你？’我说，‘不，我不能上场，因为我表现不好 ’。然后他看着我，像是在说，‘我的爸爸表现不好，怎么会？’” 在被排挤的罗纳尔多前往两人之前的俱乐部训练后，克里斯蒂亚诺二世在短暂地重新加入皇马青训营后，跟随父亲前往利雅得胜利。不久之后，就有该少年为俱乐部13岁以下队比赛并进球的视频流出，他还模仿了父亲的“SIUUUU”庆祝动作。在2024年8月参加《里奥·费迪南德呈现...》（Rio Ferdinand Presents...）播客节目期间，他的父亲揭秘了他们在中东的生活。他明确表示，儿子继承的不仅仅是他那纤细的身材和那一头凌乱的乌黑长发，他说道：“几天前我在红海，我每天都打板式网球。我和克里斯蒂亚诺二世（如果其中一人赢了另一个）会变得很生气。我们不 #

英国新一代天才球员的良好预兆 查尔斯·理查森（Charles Richardson）报道：在英超（Prem）球员发展战略的启动仪式上，年轻球员在马尔文（Malvern）引起关注。 在马尔文丘陵的掩映下，英国橄榄球的新一代天才球员在同一片草坪上开启了他们焕然一新的赛季，而诺亚·卡卢里（Noah Caluori）、亨利·波洛克（Henry Pollock）和凯普·图伊普洛图（Kepu Tuipulotu）等人在近年来也都在这里崭露头角。 周三标志着 Defender Prem Next Gen League 的启动，这是一个经过改组的 18 岁以下学院联赛，布里斯托（Bristol）在上一赛季赢得了该联赛。在马尔文举行的年度活动通常由友谊赛组成，联赛在 8 月底或 9 月初开始，不仅有英国目前的年轻球员参加，还有像乔治·福特（George Ford）、欧文·法雷尔（Owen Farrell）和马库斯·史密斯（Marcus Smith）这样经验丰富的国际球员光临。 但今年在马尔文，这些比赛构成了新联赛的第一轮。另一项调整是，本赛季末将举行半决赛，以模仿英超的季后赛制度。 在赞助商 Defender 的加入以增加动力之后，这个焕然一新的联赛恰逢英超新球员发展绩效战略的启动，该战略使各俱乐部与英国橄榄球联合会（RFU）之间实现了前所未有的协作水平。 结合去年的职业比赛合作伙伴关系——即英超与 RFU 之间延续至 2032 年的高性能协议——该联赛的球员发展主管尼尔·麦卡锡（Neil McCarthy）牵头制定了针对英国 18 岁及以下精英球员的新战略。 人们希望这是英国橄榄球最优秀天才们一个新时代的开始。 “这是我们第一次在 RFU 和 Prem Rugby 之间，就我们希望给学院系统提供什么以及我们认定的弱点是什么，在如此详细的程度上进行全面协作，”麦卡锡说。“这就是我们作为职业比赛在球员发展方面想要追求的目标，各俱乐部能够根据各自的区域背景开展工作。现在它已经统一了，而以前并非如此，因为职业橄榄球委员会（Professional Rugby Board）给我们设定了培养更多世界级球员的挑战。” 18 岁以下组别是一门大生意。周三在马尔文学院（Malvern College）漫步时，熟悉的面孔随处可见。格洛斯特（Gloucester）的乔治·斯基文顿（George Skivington）是唯一出席的英超高级橄榄球总监，但前英格兰第二排球员、现参与伍斯特（Worcester）工作的乔·隆斯伯里（Joe Launchbury）也在场，以及分别来自莱斯特（Leicester）、埃克塞特（Exeter）和哈莱昆（Harlequins）的安东尼·艾伦（Anthony Allen）、阿里·赫弗（Ali Hepher）和马特·弗格森（Matt Ferguson）。 分析工作也毫不缺失。无人机要么在空中，要么在巨大的杆子上，而每场比赛都在中场的一个有利位置被录像。如果这些片段像决赛日那样进行直播，人们将会看到一些非凡的天赋：北安普顿（Northampton）击败了伦斯特学校队（Leinster Schools，一支为了解决球队数量奇数而受邀的队伍），格洛斯特队一次惊人的反击，但同样出彩的是，塞利（Sale）飞翼汤姆·加菲（Tom Gaffey）的一次假动作突破（show-and-go），足以让丹·卡特（Dan Carter）感到自豪。 而且，如果在本赛季我看到了比鲨鱼队（Sharks）全卫埃文·奥克斯利（Evan Oxley）在第二次达阵中表现出的更好的卸球（offload），那么这 12 个月确实将是高质量的。 与此同时，在另一个球场上，巴斯（Bath）在对阵纽卡斯尔红牛队（Newcastle Red Bulls）的比赛中，凭借最后一分钟的抢分开启了他们的赛季。哈莱昆队摧毁了埃克塞特队，而萨拉森（Saracens）和布里斯托则分别将莱斯特和约克郡击败。 这些球员将成为首批从麦卡锡战略中受益的人，该战略专注于 11 个学院（10 家英超俱乐部加上约克郡），并确定了三个关键目标：一个繁荣且进步的学院系统，“职业橄榄球委员会给我们设定了培养更多世界级球员的挑战”。 为联赛和英格兰队培养世界级球员，并支持他们在世界领先的国家队中脱颖而出。重点涵盖了数据、人才识别（其中公立学校是一个重要环节）和培养等各个领域，同时也包括对法律变体（law variations）的探索。麦卡锡认为，目前受限于18岁以下法律变体的次世代联赛（Next Gen League）可能会从一些微调中获益。这项赛事采用了腰部以下擒抱和1.5米的前锋争球区（scrum shores），但人们担心这与成年橄榄球之间的差距会导致过大的文化冲击。麦卡锡与英格兰橄榄球联合会（RFU）的赛事工作组希望进一步研究这一差距，以及针对19岁和20岁人群的同样鸿沟，这些人经常发现自己无法进行足够多且正确的橄榄球比赛。 “数据告诉我们，我们的19岁以下和20岁以下球员在比赛数量和质量上都不足以让他们得到妥善培养，”麦卡锡说道。“主要而言，我们的19岁以下球员参加国家第二级别联赛（Nat 2），而20岁以下球员参加国家第一级别联赛（Nat 1）或冠军联赛（Champ），但对于那些在比赛结束后立即进入成年国家联赛（National League）橄榄球的年轻人来说，存在着成熟度和身体素质上的差距。我们在18岁之后立即出现了一个断层。” 然而，在18岁时，情况运行得更为顺畅。现在，该联赛被正确地定义为发展联赛——替补球员每场比赛必须至少上场14分钟——但这其中蕴含着潜力。不过，即便有Defender的加入，麦卡锡仍强调，英超的次世代联赛必须循序渐进。 “我们不希望这个联赛失去控制，完全以成绩为导向，”麦卡锡说。“这是一个发展联赛。如果我们能让球员在1XV球场上获得经验，那将是非常棒的。我们的决赛日总是在英超球场举行，例如萨拉森（Saracens）和格洛斯特（Gloucester）。” “但最终，结果将证明一切，不是吗？10年后，如果它没有奏效，你可以回来踢我一脚！” 希望为了麦卡锡起见，不需要踢那一脚。目标是成为“世界上最受尊敬的球员培养体系”。让我们拭目以待，但迹象是乐观的。 --- 体育 橄榄球联盟 # 丹尼尔·斯科菲尔德 (Daniel Schofield) 副橄榄球记者 # 基斯接手的是一个极其糟糕的局面，袋鼠队仍处于低谷。新任主教练今天将面对琼斯率领的日本队，这将是一个棘手的开局，而且本土世界杯也即将到来。 去年这个时候，袋鼠队在乔·施密特 (Joe Schmidt) 的带领下正处于巅峰。虽然他们输掉了与英狮队的系列赛，但在悉尼的第三场测试赛中击败了客队，而且在墨尔本的第二场测试赛中，差一点就因为一次引发激烈争议的裁判判罚而抢到胜利。两周后，澳大利亚在面对春羚队时，在落后 22-0 的情况下实现逆转，取得了自 1963 年以来在埃利斯公园球场 (Ellis Park) 的首次胜利。 但现在施密特已经离职，他的继任者、新任主教练莱斯·基斯 (Les Kiss) 接手的是一个近乎“医院传球”（指极难处理的糟糕传球）的局面——或者至少是那种你不得不从脚趾尖勉强勾起的糟糕球——而且本土世界杯迫在眉睫，他今天执教的首场比赛将是面对日本队的棘手之战。 你可能还记得，上届世界杯以耻辱告终，因为埃迪·琼斯 (Eddie Jones) 带领的澳大利亚队历史上首次未能从小组赛出线。于是施密特出场，试图收拾琼斯留下的残局。他到来时拥有近乎完美的记录，曾在伦斯特队 (Leinster) 和爱尔兰队建立帝国，并在新西兰队挺进 2023 年世界杯决赛的过程中发挥了主导作用。 然而，即便在执教初期取得了三连胜，施密特所谓的“点石成金”之手最终也被证明不足。他在任期结束时的战绩令人沮丧：12 场胜利和 19 场失败。唯一阻止施密特以创纪录的七连败收场的，是对阵意大利队的一场大胜。 如果能为这位来自橄榄球联盟的转会球员找到合适的位置，那么在左柱安格斯·贝尔 (Angus Bell)、锁卫威尔·斯凯尔顿 (Will Skelton)、开路侧翼弗雷泽·麦克雷特 (Fraser McReight)、中锋伦·伊基陶 (Len Ikitau) 和约瑟夫-奥库索·苏阿里 (Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii) 身上，其实已经具备了一支优秀球队的骨架。 然而，施密特未能解决袋鼠队最大的两个弱点：一是令人抓狂的不稳定性——这一点在今年夏天的国家冠军赛中，通过在领先的情况下输给爱尔兰和法国而充分体现；二是缺乏一名稳定的 10 号位球员。即便英格兰队那经常更换的中锋阵容，与施密特对飞翼（fly-halves）的使用相比似乎都显得更稳定，后者共使用了九名不同的球员 # 执教任期 澳大利亚接下来的赛程： 对阵日本：今日，东大阪；8月05日，汤因斯维尔 对阵美洲美洲狮（LOS PUMAS）：8月29日，胡胡伊；9月5日，门多萨 处于关键位置：莱斯·基斯（Les Kiss）在延迟抵达后终于开始履行职责。自去年狮球会巡赛开始以来，球队一直在使用飞翼（stand-off）。其中一些变动是由伤病迫使的。诺亚·洛莱西奥（Noah Lolesio）原定在狮球会系列赛中首发，但在与斐济的热身赛中颈部受伤；而从联盟橄榄球转型的卡特·戈登（Carter Gordon）在对阵爱尔兰时小腿受伤，尽管施密特（Schmidt）去年在塔内·埃德梅德（Tane Edmed）身上投入了大量时间，但在进入国家冠军赛时却将其弃用。基斯在大阪对阵日本的比赛中让德克兰·梅雷迪思（Declan Meredith）继续出场，提供了一定程度的连续性。然而，老将奎德·库珀（Quade Cooper）和詹姆斯·奥康纳（James O'Connor）宣布他们可以参加明年的世界杯，这一事实表明该位置的竞争极其激烈，这对于前伦敦爱尔兰队教练基斯来说并非好事，因为倒计时地在不断加速。 最大的自毁式错误在于从施密特到基斯的交接，该计划于2025年4月首次公布。漫长的过渡期被宣传为确保连续性的手段。实际上，这是因为澳大利亚不愿支付预计$600,000（£313,000）的费用，以买断基斯在2026年超级橄榄球赛季中与昆士兰红队（Queensland Reds）合同的剩余部分。即使在超级橄榄球赛季结束后，基斯本可以在国家冠军赛开赛时处于关键位置，或者至少在教练席上协助施密特。相反，他被拍到像个普通观众一样坐在看台上，这引起了澳大利亚国内的广泛困惑。 “他没什么别的事可做，”前澳大利亚接球手尼克·菲普斯（Nick Phipps）告诉Stan Sports，“他本应该在那里的……这看起来像是一个巨大的损失。感觉在最后这段过渡期里，我们失去了很多阵地，并且……失去了为明年世界杯做准备的机会。” 现在，基斯在对阵琼斯（Jones）的比赛中从零开始他的任期，而琼斯将渴望给他的前雇主一个沉重的打击。 “澳大利亚承受着巨大的压力，”琼斯贴心地指出，“这是一场他们被预期会赢的比赛。” 你可以将锁锋乔什·坎汉姆（Josh Canham）的出现以及安格斯·克里奇顿（Angus Crichton）和马克·纳瓦卡尼塔瓦塞（Mark Nawaqanitawase）的加盟视为乐观的理由。然而，关于施密特在琼斯将“马蒂尔达号”好船撞毁后将其修复的说法，其可信度有限。琼斯在第二次执教期间可能拥有职业时代袋鼠队最糟糕的胜率，但施密特的胜率排名第二糟糕。当他接手时，澳大利亚的世界排名第九。现在他们排名第八。他们之前陷入困境，现在依然陷入困境，而基斯在距离澳大利亚启动自己的世界杯仅剩12个月多一点的时间里，想要改变这一局面将面临艰巨的任务。 --- 12 体育 # 弗林托夫在接任雷霆队职务后离开狮队 英格兰传奇球员辞去指导下一代球员的教练职务 基此前曾为这位“无名英雄”抵御媒体批评 作者：Will Macpherson 副板球记者 安德鲁·弗林托夫（Andrew Flintoff）已立即辞去英格兰狮队（England Lions）教练一职，就在一周前，罗布·基（Rob Key）还称他为英格兰板球的“无名英雄”。弗林托夫表示，他“遗憾地”辞去这一负责监督英格兰下一代球员发展的职务，但并未说明决定原因。 “迫不及待”：安德鲁·弗林托夫已同意在Big Bash联赛中执教悉尼雷霆队 弗林托夫这位传奇全能球员目前已不再担任英格兰板球的任何官方职务，但他担任澳大利亚Big Bash联赛球队悉尼雷霆队（Sydney Thunder）的主教练，其首个赛季将于12月开始。 2023年，弗林托夫重返英格兰板球体系参与专业工作，此前在2022年12月拍摄BBC节目《Top Gear》时，他经历了一场可怕的事故，九个月后他回归。他曾与英格兰的白球球队合作，包括参加2024年在美洲举行的T20世界杯，同年晚些时候，他接任狮队主教练。在直到去年夏天的两个赛季中，他兼任Hundred联赛中北超级充电者队（Northern Superchargers，现为利兹太阳升队 Sun-risers Leeds）的主教练。 英格兰执行董事基曾预言他将成为未来的英格兰主教练，尽管在最近布伦登·麦卡勒姆（Brendon McCullum）被解雇为测试赛教练时，他并未被考虑担任该职务，该职位由斯蒂芬·弗莱明（Stephen Fleming）接任。 弗林托夫此前已同意在今年冬天成为雷霆队主教练，这意味着他将缺席狮队南非巡赛的一部分。上周五，当基被问及此事时，在《星期日泰晤士报》的一篇文章称其任命为“严重错误”后，基对他进行了强有力的辩护。 “我认为这完全抹杀了我们最伟大的板球运动员之一的贡献，”基说道，“能让他担任此职，我们感到极其幸运。我认为人们说他不应该做这件事是不尊重人的。他在那个岗位上的表现非常出色，我们非常幸运能拥有他。” 一周后，弗林托夫离开了这个岗位，感谢基“将英格兰板球最重要的角色之一托付给我”，并表示他“迫不及待地想在雷霆队开始工作”。 英格兰U-18队教练迈克·亚迪（Mike Yardy）将接手，执教下周在贝肯汉姆（Beckenham）对阵巡赛巴基斯坦队的职业郡俱乐部 Sober. XI 比赛。 “遗憾的是，我决定离开在狮队的职务，”弗林托夫说，“我不仅享受与国内最优秀的年轻板球运动员合作的机会，而且在看到他们成长时感到非常自豪。” 在Instagram的一篇帖子中，他开玩笑说：“祝接任者好运，你得接手一个非常艰巨的任务（you have some big pants to fill）。” 帮助之手：埃米利奥·盖伊（Emilio Gay）在右肩受伤后接受治疗 # 盖伊肩部受伤令英格兰队头疼 作者：Will Macpherson 埃米利奥·盖伊（Emilio Gay）在击出一个教科书般的正向击球（on-drive）获得4分时，意外导致肩部受伤，这加剧了英格兰队对顶端击球手身体状况的担忧。开局击球手盖伊在今年夏天早些时候参加了他的前三场测试赛，并被选入英格兰队参加将于8月19日在海丁利（Headingley）开始的对阵巴基斯坦队的系列赛。 英格兰队在进入后布伦登·麦卡伦（Brendon McCullum）时代之初，就已经失去了3号位球员雅各布·贝塞尔（Jacob Bethell），后者因膝伤缺阵，将由乔丹·考克斯（Jordan Cox）接替。因此，在Metro Bank一日杯中，盖伊代表达勒姆队对阵米德尔塞克斯队时因伤退场的景象，将令选拔人员深感担忧。 在面对托比·罗兰-琼斯（Toby Roland-Jones）时，他击出了一个漂亮的正向击球得分4分，但随即捂住了右肩。在选择因伤退场前，他仅又面对了一个球，得分为9分。盖伊在随后的比赛中没有再参与，英格兰队表示将在周末对其进行评估。预计他今天将接受肩部扫描。 凭借赛季初的出色状态，盖伊在竞争中胜出，取代扎克·克劳利（Zak Crawley），成为6月份对阵新西兰队时本·杜凯特（Ben Duckett）的开局搭档。他曾有过高光时刻，在勋章球场（Lord's）和椭圆球场（the Oval）击出了坚韧且关键的半个世纪得分，随后在最后一场测试赛中，由于本·斯托克斯（Ben Stokes）被提升至开局位置，他以6号位击球手身份结束了该系列赛。 在16人的名单中没有专门的开局替补，因此英格兰队必须采取创意方案。奥利·波普（Ollie Pope）是备用击球手，但他仅在穆尔坦（Multan）开局过一次，且当时被零分出局，他是3号到7号位以及 विकेटkeeper（接球手）的替补。唯一真正的选择可能是让杰米·史密斯（Jamie Smith）开局，并让波普在7号位担任接球手。或许史密斯或波普可以移至3号位，由考克斯开局，尽管这对一名测试赛新秀来说似乎不公平。 # 足球详情 # 赛程 除非另有说明，开球时间均为凌晨2点 芝加哥杯 (CHICAGO CUP) 组赛 AFC温布尔登 + 纽波特 埃克斯伯纳比 + 威根 布拉德福德 + 罗奇代尔 布里斯托尔流浪者 + 彼得伯勒 布拉德利 + 雷丁 伯恩比 + 沃茨郡 伯恩比 + 布莱克本 剑桥联 + 巴雷特 剑桥联 + 巴雷特 (1) 卡迪夫 + 斯温顿 卡迪夫 + 斯温顿 切尔滕纳姆 + 查尔顿 切尔滕纳姆 + 查尔顿 (5,30) 科尔切斯特 + 南安普顿 (5,30) 克鲁 + 阿克灵顿 德比 + 林肯城 弗利特伍德 + 切斯特菲尔德 吉林厄姆 + 卢顿 格里姆斯比 + 布莱克浦 莱斯特 + 诺森普顿 莱普顿街 + 牛津联 纽瓦克 + 沃尔顿凯恩斯 宾斯普雷斯顿北端 + 哈德斯菲尔德 (2) 1980. 1985. 1986. 1987. 1988. 1989. 1990. 1991. 1992. 1993. 1994. 1995. 1996. 1997. 1998. 1999. 2000. 2001. 2002. 2003. 2004. 2005. 2006. 2007. 2008. 2009. 2010. 2011. 2012. 2013. 2014. 2015. 2016. 2017. 2018. 2019. 2020. 2021. 2022. 2023. 2024. 2025. 2026. 2027. 2028. 2029. 2030. 2031. 2032. 2033. 2034. 2035. 2036. 2037. 2038. 2039. 2040. 2041. 2042. 2043. 2044. 2045. 2046. 2047. 2048. 2049. 2050. 2051. 2052. 2053. 2054. 2055. 2056. 2057. 2058. 2059. 2060. 2061. 2062. 2063. 2064. 2065. 2066. 2067. 2068. 2069. 2070. 2071. 2072. 2073. 2074. 2075. 2076. 2077. 2078. 2079. 2080. 2081. 2082. 2083. 2084. 2085. 2086. 2087. 2088. 2089. 2090. 斯托克 + 奥尔德姆 斯旺西 + 伯明翰 西霍普 + 朴茨茅斯 沃顿 + 克劳利 塔莫罗曼斯菲尔德 + 谢菲尔德联 (4) 威廉希尔苏格兰超级联赛 (WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH PREMERSHIP) 高 客 胜 平 负 进 失 场 胜 平 负 进 失 2 / 25 圣詹姆斯 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 圣约翰斯通 1 1 0 0 4 3 0 0 0 0 1 3 阿伯丁 1 1 0 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 里士满 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 1 1 3 科尔茨 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 邓迪联 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 流浪者 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 基尔马诺克 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 4 4 6 哈茨 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 1 6 希伯尼安 1 0 0 1 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 桑德 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 塔布洛伊德 1 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 2 邓迪 + 阿伯丁 圣米伦 + 圣约翰斯通 圣米伦 + 圣约翰斯通 # 明日赛程 Hearts 对阵 Dundee Utd Kilmarnock 对阵 Colts (1:30) Motherwell 对阵 Falkirk Rangers 对阵 Hibernian (4:00) **WILLIAM HILL 蘇格蘭冠軍聯賽** Arbroath 对阵 Iverness CT Dunfermline 对阵 Ayr Queen's Park 对阵 Keith Shamlousmeur 对阵 Morton **WILLIAM HILL 蘇格蘭聯賽 1** Andromonte 对阵 East Kibbide East Fife 对阵 Cook Rangers Hamilton 对阵 Alley Queen of Fife South 对阵 Peterhead Ross County 对阵 Montrose **WILLIAM HILL 蘇格蘭聯賽 2** Dumbarton 对阵 Clyde Elgin 对阵 Felton Kelly Hearts 对阵 Stirling Spaldone 对阵 Edinburgh City Stratman 对阵 Avenon Athletic **ENTERPRISE 全國聯賽：AFC Fylde** Waldstone, Wilmotsam 对阵 Southend, Burnham Wood 对阵 Tamworth, Boston Utd 对阵 Aldershot Carlisle 对阵 Northrop, Eastleigh 对阵 Gateshead, Forest Green 对阵 FC Halifax, Harrogate Te 对阵 Solihull Kidderminster, Scunthorpe 对阵 Yeovil, Woking 对阵 Sutton Utd. 北區：AFC Telford 对阵 Brackley, Bourton 对阵 Hereford FC, Chantley 对阵 Chester FC, Stallington 对阵 Wexham Te, Hebburn Te 对阵 Southport, King's Lynn Te 对阵 Harborough Te, Saxifport, King's Lynn Te 对阵 Harborough Te, Marine 对阵 Macclesfield FC, Morther Te 对阵 Hotherford Te, Mancander 对阵 Spennymoor Te, Marine 对阵 Macclesfield FC, Morther Te 对阵 Hotherford Te, Mancander 对阵 Spennymoor Te, Oxford City 对阵 Bedford Te, Radcliffe 对阵 Spalding Oxfed City 对阵 Bedford 对阵 Radcliffe 对阵 Spalding Utd.

MotoGP 时一样健康。灰白的短发和皱纹是唯一能表明这位痴迷于赛车的车手已进入第五个十年的迹象。“从 30 到 35 岁，我以为自己无坚不摧，但突然在 35 岁之后，全身都开始酸痛，”他承认道。 克鲁奇洛在摩托车运动顶峰时期令人惊叹的职业寿命，为本周末的英国大奖赛——这场扣人心弦的 MotoGP 赛季中 22 站中的第 12 站——增添了额外的看点。在世界锦标赛 10 年的职业生涯中，他曾驾驶杜卡迪（Ducati）和本田（Honda）的厂队赛车，共获得 19 次领奖台完赛和 3 次胜利。在深受新冠疫情影响的 2020 赛季结束时，他按照自己的意愿退役，因为他知道自己已经倾尽全力。 克鲁奇洛随后在雅马哈（Yamaha）担任测试车手，在 2021 年至 2023 年期间进行了 11 次零星的替补或外卡出赛。但在 2023 年 10 月，一次腕部感染限制了他的骑行，头盔似乎就此被永久地解开了。 轻松骑行者：卡尔·克鲁奇洛（右）本周在银石赛道；（下方）在德国大奖赛前与家人在围场内。 现年 40 岁的他回来了。克鲁奇洛以世界超级跑车锦标赛（World Supersport）冠军和世界超级摩托车锦标赛（World Superbike）分站赛冠军的身份进入 MotoGP，并在本田的长期卫星车队 LCR 效力了六年。在那段时期的受欢迎程度和个人魅力，意味着当车手约翰·扎尔科（Johann Zarco）在 5 月中旬的加泰罗尼亚大奖赛中遭遇严重事故时，他是车队负责人卢西奥·切奇内洛（Lucio Cecchinello）首先联系的人之一。这位法国车手仍在从左膝韧带损伤中恢复，这使得克鲁奇洛的回归一直延续到本周末的银石赛道。 “在我回来前三周，有人问我是否还在骑车，我说：‘不，没碰过（摩托车），以后也不会再碰。没兴趣……’结果突然之间我就回来了，”他说。 克鲁奇洛极力澄清，他的 MotoGP 活动并非正式复出。他参加了五站比赛，从驾驶本田厂队赛车（本赛季尚未获得正式的领奖台完赛）时状态生疏，到逐渐接近得分区，同时还必须适应 2023 年引入的 MotoGP 冲刺赛赛制。扎尔科希望下个月回归，因此克鲁奇洛可能还会有几次出赛机会。 “我的驱动力不同，”他解释道。“我的第一个回答是‘不’，但我的妻子露西（Lucy）对我说：‘你的一生一直是一场冒险，为什么现在要停止？’我想，‘骑摩托车就是骑摩托车：这并不容易，但我知道怎么做’。我被说服了。我的身体状况能够胜任，而且我不害怕。我这样做是因为请求我的车队和制造商。” “对我没有期望，但我能感觉到自己重新变得具有竞争力。我觉得排在最后面很糟糕。这是一件好事，因为这意味着我回来不是为了随便骑骑并向观众挥手，因为那样会变得危险。这不是一个可以玩的游戏。” 克鲁奇洛深知 MotoGP 在身体和心理上的损耗。这位现代最成功的英国车手曾经历过 146 次摔车。 “有人问我是否再次骑车。我说，‘不，没兴趣……’突然之间我就回来了。” 他的大奖赛生涯。他大多数的摔车速度都在100英里 / 小时以上（或接近此速度），导致了大量的骨折、擦伤和血肿。克鲁奇洛摔车最严重的一年也是他表现最好的一年。2016年，在米其林成为锦标赛唯一轮胎供应商并与之产生摩擦期间，他摔车26次，但他也表现出色，在捷克布尔诺和澳大利亚菲利普岛取得了胜利，这两个赛道奖励的是技巧与勇气。那一年，他还在银石赛道获得了职业生涯唯一的领奖台名次，在一次激烈的第二名争夺战中击败了瓦伦蒂诺·罗西。当被问到起床时哪里最酸痛时，克鲁奇洛回答道：“我的肩膀很糟糕；我有四级关节炎，还有我的膝盖：没有软骨了，所以是骨头直接磨骨头。当你比赛时，你不会去想这些，你只是继续前进。这是我们一直以来做的事：摔车，骨折，然后几天后继续比赛。或者摔车，接受手术，三天后重新骑上摩托车。愚蠢的事情。这些最终会让你付出代价。” 克鲁奇洛最极端的“愚蠢之举”发生在2018年法国大奖赛。在勒芒的排位赛期间，他发生了高侧甩尾（high-sided）——即后胎失去抓地力，过度旋转并突然重新抓地，将车手从车把上弹射出去——随后他被救护车从赛道上接走。那天晚上他在医院度过，肺部有血，每隔两小时就被叫醒进行分析。到了第二天早上，克鲁奇洛就办理了出院。他回忆道：“坐上车，开车去赛道。骑着踏板车去 15 我的房车那里拿皮衣，然后准备参加热身赛。”在获得医疗人员的比赛许可后，他获得了第八名。“那次摔得很重，”他苦笑道。“之后发生的事情相当有趣，因为我一直在骑自行车——我经常骑——接下来的两周里，我一直感到一阵阵刺痛。我以为我是坐骨神经痛。我去看了医生和整骨师，但他们没发现问题。在巴塞罗那的下一场比赛中，我去找医疗人员说‘我的屁股真的很痛’。他们做了扫描，发现骨盆裂了。” “我做过一些非常愚蠢的事情，其中一些我很后悔。2020年在伊雷斯，我的舟骨（手腕大拇指侧的骨头）骨折了，周二打了钢钉，周五就又骑车了。但我认为所有车手都有类似的故事。” 尽管取得了成功，且丰厚的合同让克鲁奇洛足以终身无忧，但到2020年，这种艰苦的磨练已让他不堪重负。为雅马哈进行测试成了他逐步过渡到退休生活的一种方式，但手腕感染让这一切过早地戛然而止。他承认随后在适应另一种生活方式时遇到了困难。“我有过困难。毫无疑问，”他坦承道。“我想是因为我不知道接下来要做什么。我有公司和投资，但我一年有290天在为MotoGP奔波，然后突然不再如此了。我喜欢和柳（Willow，他10岁的女儿）一起做事；接送她上学，参加体育活动。这让我感到充实。但我太习惯于忙碌，太习惯于……专注。然后我不再如此了。我走出了这个困境……而我知道有些人没有。你银行账户里可能有数百万资金，没问题。但当你做了30年的每天必做之事突然停止时……” 事实证明，驾驶价值数百万英镑的原型摩托车仍然具有强大的吸引力。“这就像成瘾一样，”克鲁奇洛说。“但这并不是我现在回归的原因。我从未对骑摩托车成瘾——没有越野赛，没有训练，淡季什么都不做——但我想，我们是对竞争成瘾。” 考虑到他的退休以及扎尔科（Zarco）伤愈后局面将恢复一定程度的平静这一事实，他是否担心自己又“重操旧业”了？他笑了。“这不像是什么重操旧业，因为那样的话明年会怎样？或者后年又怎样？我回来是因为当我停止担任测试员角色时，那并不是按照我的意愿结束的，”他说。“更多的是关于这一点。我的职业生涯是按照我的意愿结束的……但测试工作？不是。”车祸一直是本赛季的潜在基调，扎尔科的受伤以及亚历克斯·马奎斯（Álex Márquez）和马可·贝泽基（Marco Bezzecchi）等人的事故提醒人们，当摩托车在物理极限边缘行驶时，时速227英里的速度是极其危险的。在转向850cc动力单元之前，这是1,000cc排量赛车的最后一个赛季，其比赛过程令人着迷。在拥有一级方程式（Formula One）的自由媒体公司（Liberty Media）接手后的第一个完整年度里，MotoGP吸引了创纪录的人群，但该赛事现在要求其明星车手投入更多的宣传和营销。 “在过去的几年里，MotoGP变得更强大，娱乐性也变得更好，”克鲁特洛（Crutchlow）说。“媒体对车手的关注度大大增加，这对他们来说也很辛苦，但从娱乐目的和在家观看电视的角度来看，  英国车手MotoGP统计数据：180场起跑 3次冠军 19次领奖台 4次杆位 4次最快圈速 1,187个积分 这太棒了，而且当你来到赛道时，对于那些粉丝和观众来说也更好。” 他从圈外视角欣赏这种转变。“一半的车手喜欢这种[额外的关注]，因为他们想成为超级巨星；另一半则不喜欢，因为这意味着更多的责任，而他们只想骑摩托车比赛；我就是属于后者。我理解这一点，因为我们处于一个商业环境中，几乎所有体育运动都是如此，”他说。“我知道为了我自己以及车队和制造商需要做什么。这并不容易管理。如果我现在要参加22场大奖赛，那将非常困难。压力非常大。” 这个周末，克鲁特洛将成为五年来首位在银石赛道骑行原厂支持摩托车的英国人。自从他在2016年获得杆位以来，英国大奖赛的人气一直在下降，当时周末有155,000人到场。到去年，这一数字已降至不足100,000人，成为欧洲观众人数第二少的分站赛。尽管近年来萨姆·洛斯（Sam Lowes）和杰克·迪克森（Jake Dixon）在Moto2中获得过胜利，但还没有一名英国赛车手能够追随克鲁特洛逐渐远去的背影。一个简单的解释是，英国超级摩托车赛（British Superbike）和世界超级摩托车赛（World Superbike）提供了更多机会，但英国在MotoGP中影响力被削弱的困境是克鲁特洛被反复问及的问题。 “我尝试过无数次去提供帮助，或者做点什么，或者思考如何让英国人进入这个围场以及MotoGP，但这太难了，我真的不知道原因何在，”他说。“我们有英国天才杯（British Talent Cup）、Sportbike以及英国超级摩托车赛的计划……但我们仍然无法让人们来到这里。是缺乏天赋吗？在我看来，决心比天赋更重要。一些英国车手最大的问题是他们不愿跳槽到另一个锦标赛。他们太安逸了。我知道这不容易，因为你需要资金和其他细节，但英国超级摩托车赛的车手们会在那里度过他们职业生涯的余下时间。” 今年的银石赛将是克鲁特洛的第10场英国大奖赛，或许也是他在家乡的天鹅之歌。他知道自己将再次成为关注的焦点。“在银石赛道，我一直得到巨大的支持，就像我在全球各地的赛道上一样，我认为这是因为我能引起共鸣，”他说。“我说实话，而且我来自普通背景。我被认为不是超级巨星；我不认为自己与那些来看比赛的人有什么不同。他们可能擅长自己的工作，而我擅长我的工作。” # 诺里斯与皮亚斯特里在F1冠军之争后维持和谐 **一级方程式赛车** 作者：Scott Hunt 迈凯伦车队负责人安德里亚·斯特拉（Andrea Stella）对兰多·诺里斯（Lando Norris）和奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里（Oscar Piastri）在上一赛季的冠军争夺战后依然保持和谐的关系感到满意，并且尚未放弃这位英国车手卫冕的希望。 在皮亚斯特里在还剩九场比赛时曾领先34分的情况下，诺里斯在一场同样涉及马克斯·维斯塔潘（Max Verstappen）的竞争中夺得了首个世界冠军。在冠军冲刺阶段出现了一些冲突点和争议时刻，迈凯伦的“木瓜规则”（本质上是激烈且干净地比赛，但不要互相碰撞）在努力确保两位冠军竞争者之间拥有公平竞争环境的过程中受到了考验。 在2026, 该项运动的新规下，迈凯伦未能延续近几个赛季的竞技状态，而梅赛德斯则在法拉利的竞争中处于领先地位。但斯特拉对他的车手表现给予了高度赞扬，并对和平状态的维持感到特别高兴。 “在去年——当时他们一直竞争世界冠军直到最后一场比赛——之后，他们建立的和谐关系能否保持并非理所当然：然而，这不仅没有改变，而且他们之间以及与车队之间的关系实际上变得更加牢固了，”斯特拉在迈凯伦的一次问答环节中表示。“虽然在某种意义上，这对兰多来说可能是预料之中的——因为他最终成为了冠军——但对于奥斯卡来说则不那么容易预测，相反，他更加依赖车队来加速他在赛道内外的发展。” 梅赛德斯精准把握了2026年的规则，为意大利青少年基米·安东内利（Kimi Antonelli）提供了平台，使其夺得六次胜利并领先刘易斯·汉密尔顿（Lewis Hamilton）50分，而他的队友乔治·罗素（George Russell）则落后九分。诺里斯排名第五，距离领先者有高达91分的差距，但在夏季休假前的匈牙利站，他取得了本赛季的首胜。 斯特拉补充道：“如果我们能像在布达佩斯那样继续本赛季，我认为我们仍然可以取得很大成就。为此，我们必须在研发方面继续发力，并确保我们超越竞争对手——他们肯定没有停下脚步。” “当然，两项锦标赛的差距都很大，但我们对去年的教训记忆犹新。” --- 16 ●●● 体育 征服巨人 塞莉亚·勒穆埃尔（Celia Le Mouel）和阿曼达·斯普拉特（Amanda

# LTA 将跨性别女性禁令扩大至所有女性比赛 任何级别的竞技比赛现均涵盖在新政策中 戴维斯对该举措表示欢迎，称其为“免于不公平体育竞争的保护” 作者：Simon Briggs tennis 记者 英国草地网球协会（LTA）已禁止跨性别女性参加所有竞技性女性比赛，即使这些比赛仅是内部俱乐部比赛的一部分。 LTA 扩大对女性网球和板式网球（padel）运动员支持的消息得到了德文波特的戴维斯男爵夫人的欢迎，这位奥运游泳奖牌得主一直领导着反对跨性别者参与女性体育的运动。 “很好，”戴维斯在 X 的一篇帖子中写道。“体育组织现在正在做它们一直应该做的事。保护她们的女性球员和运动员免于不公平的体育竞争。这是一项沉重的责任。” LTA 在这一点上此前已属于较为严格的体育机构，在 2024 年底发布了影响郡级和国家级比赛——以及俱乐部之间比赛——的指南。在那个阶段，它决定由各俱乐部自行制定内部排名赛、联赛和淘汰赛的政策。 然而，由于平等与人权委员会（EHRC）本周发布的更新规则，情况现在发生了变化。在审查了 EHRC 的支持指南后——该指南更新了之前的 2011 年立场，并参考了去年最高法院关于“性别概念是二元的”裁决——LTA 现在认为，它别无选择，只能将其对跨性别参与的限制扩大到任何级别的所有竞技比赛。 到目前为止，网球运动尚未出现关于非二元性别运动员参加女性赛事的重大争议，尽管在 20 世纪 70 年代有一位知名跨性别球员——蕾妮·理查兹（Renee Richards）——曾在巡回赛级别参赛，后来成为了马蒂娜·纳芙拉蒂洛娃（Martina Navratilova）的教练。 理查兹后来表示，天生男性的生物学优势使他们在过渡后拥有明显的优势，并补充说，如果她在 20 多岁时就完成过渡并参加比赛，她将成为女子巡回赛中最优秀的球员。而实际上，她在 40 岁出头时才完成转变，这限制了她的影响力。 纳芙拉蒂洛娃已成为反对跨性别者进入网球运动的主要发声者之一。 “这太疯狂了，而且是在作弊，”她在 2019 年为《星期日泰晤士报》撰写的一篇专栏中写道。“我很乐意以她偏好的任何称呼来称呼一名跨性别女性，但我不会乐意与她竞争。这不公平。” 在 2024 年的原始指南中，LTA 指出： “很明显，网球和板式网球是受性别影响的运动——平均男性在与平均女性比赛时具有优势。这包括更长的杠杆（肢体）以便触球和击球，以及更强的心血管能力意味着能够更轻松地在球场上移动”。 # Itauma 准备创造历史 # 拳击 乔治·塞申斯报道：英国重量级新星摩西·伊陶马（Moses Itauma）表示，在尝试创造拳击历史时，他已准备好在与菲利普·赫格罗维奇（Filip Hrgovic）的对决中度过一个“漫长的夜晚”。如果伊陶马能在 Aug 29. 在 02 Arena 击败赫格罗维奇，他将成为自迈克·泰森以来最年轻的世界重量级冠军。本周，Queensberry推广人弗兰克·沃伦（Frank Warren）将这位来自查塔姆（Chatham）的 21 岁选手描述为拳击界最炙手可热的新星。在周二宣布他将争夺国际拳击联合会（IBF）空缺腰带后，他已准备好创造历史。 “我的想法是，‘如果我要和赫格罗维奇打，而且有机会争夺世界冠军？好啊，那就把世界冠军头衔押上’，我当时并没有太特别的感觉，”伊陶马昨天在一次Zoom通话中告诉英国媒体。“我之前就认真对待赫格罗维奇，现在这场比赛变成了争夺世界冠军，我依然认真对待。这仍然是同一场比赛。我刚刚接受了BBC的采访，他们问我关于摩西·伊陶马有什么是一件人们不知道的事情？我说，‘其实我并不想处于聚光灯下，但按照我目前的发展方向，看来我别无选择’。” 伊陶马在谈到赫格罗维奇时说：“当然，他是一名非常优秀的拳手。他只输过一场，而且是因为伤口裂开才输的。是的，他很强。我将面临一个漫长的夜晚，但我会没事的。我觉得我的状态很好。” --- 安娜·谢泼德（Anna Shephard）搜遍了全国各地的冷冻柜，评选出 47 款能够体现英格兰多种不同风味与文化的冷藏甜点。 [版面噪声，已略] [版面噪声，已略] [版面噪声，已略] [版面噪声，已略]

Rose充分利用了当地的收获，将其转化为一份带有轻微酸爽感的清爽冰淇淋——一种在秋天到来之际，带有海岸边美景气息的味道。 ### 赫里福德郡 (HEREFORDSHIRE) 桃子 虽然该郡最著名的是苹果酒苹果和梨，但其阳光充足的气候和肥沃的土壤支持大量核果类水果的生长，甚至是难以种植的桃子。为了打造其小批量的“桃子与奶油”口味，在怀河畔海（Hay-on-Wye）拥有繁荣咖啡馆的资深冰淇淋公司 Shepherds，已开始在自己的农场种植这种皮薄的果实。煮熟的桃子与该公司独特的绵羊奶奶油混合，口感温润丝滑，且蛋白质含量高于牛奶。 ### 赫特福德郡 (HERTFORDSHIRE) 戈贡佐拉奶酪 (Gorgonzola) 在华夫筒冰淇淋中加入蓝纹奶酪的想法听起来可能令人不安，但这种意大利品种非常温和且细腻，能很好地融入甜味冰淇淋中。不要质疑！告别那些平庸的冠军，尝试这款配有梨塔（arbit）的绝美冰淇淋。总部位于沃特福德（Watford）的小型创新在线冰淇淋公司 Sweet Blessings 采用了这一概念，创造出其“梨、蜂蜜和戈贡佐拉”口味，该公司将其描述为大胆且精致。 ### 怀特岛 (ISLE OF WIGHT) 黑蒜 怀特岛最著名的农产品——为这款冷饮带来了一种出人意料的美味。位于纽丘奇（Newchurch）的大蒜农场（The Garlic Farm）种植这种辛辣的球茎已有10年多时间，他们创造了一款冰淇淋，将黑蒜在采摘后通过慢炖工艺使其变黑变软，从而产生一种带有浓郁巧克力味的微妙甘草风味，并使用来自岛上的牛奶和奶油，创造出一种令人惊讶的甜味。不要轻视它！我敢打赌你还没试过。 ### 兰开夏郡 (LANCASHIRE) 姜饼 兰开夏郡对姜饼的热爱在每年夏天的奥姆斯柯克姜饼节（Ormskirk Gingerbread Festival）上得到庆祝，这种特殊点心的烘焙历史可以追溯到1732. 若想尝试冷冻版本，请向北前往罗宾谷（Robbin Valley），来到克利瑟罗（Clitheroe）郊外的小型 Downsham 冰淇淋店，该店凭借包括姜饼在内的超本地化口味赢得了当地追随者。这款冰淇淋带来了温暖的香料味和焦糖糖的基调。 ### 莱斯特郡 (LEICESTERSHIRE) 芒果 谁能拒绝这种极其黏稠、阳光般明亮的 tropical fruit，尤其是当它被搅拌成丝滑的冷冻甜点时？在莱斯特的 Gelaty Village 两家分店（最近在郡级款待奖中被评为最佳当地食品与饮料生产商）中，这是最畅销的口味。坦率地说，这体现了这座城市的多元化，拥有庞大的社区以及独特的乡村美食场景。但这款口味凭借其清爽的酸味，也是终极的夏日象征。 ### 林肯郡 (LINCOLNSHIRE) 苹果派 林肯郡是伍德丘普庄园（Woodchurpe Manor）苹果树的所在地，艾萨克·牛顿爵士在此发现了万有引力。林肯郡以培育较少为人知的果园品种而闻名——使其成为寻找苹果派冰淇淋的绝佳之地。在斯比斯比（Sydsby）的 Dev-net 甜品店可以找到它，这家四代家族企业自1920, 起就开始制作冰淇淋，当时前印度前锋 divestible 为了增加牛奶的价值而开始尝试。这款深受喜爱的口味将乳制冰淇淋与炖苹果的浓郁味道相结合——一种清凉的体验，致敬了有机-Smithstone 布丁和家庭烘焙传统。 ### 默西赛德郡 (MERSEYSIDE) Bascoff扫描仪（Bascoff Scanners）大规模采用了焦糖饼干——Lotus Biscoff已成为利物浦各渔业区和甜点咖啡馆的常见特色，被撒在牛角面包上，点缀在芝士蛋糕上，或拌入冰淇淋中。成立于1934年的家族罐装批发冰淇淋制造商Stella Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts生产Lotus Biscoff意式冰淇淋——以奶油为基底，分层加入焦糖和香料，最后撒上饼干碎。 ### 北约克郡 (NORTH YORKSHIRE) 大黄与卡仕达 (Rhubarb & custard) 西约克郡可能会声称拥有著名的九平方英里“大黄凯旋区”（Rhubarb Triumph），但这并不能阻止边界另一侧的生产者使用这些Barbie-grok茎秆。在约克市郊的一家拥有自有咖啡馆的第五代奶牛场Carlow Fields，大黄酱被纹理状地融入卡仕达基底中。该农场还制作草莓大黄雪芭。 ### 北安普顿郡 (NORTHAMPTONSHIRE) 李子 (Plum) 核果在郡内生长茂盛，得益于今年韦兰谷（Welland Valley）Ganders农场一棵李子树的丰收。Lauren Burton将浓郁的李子酱与家养山羊奶相结合，创造出一种极具本土特色的、小批量生产的粉色冰淇淋。这家“现摘现制”的冰淇淋业务始于多年前，当时她的山羊产奶量超出预期，促使她利用这些剩余牛奶。 ### 诺森伯兰郡 (NORTHUMBERLAND) 石楠蜂蜜 (Heather honey) 在特威德河畔，Chain Bridge蜂蜜农场每年生产约20罐这种粘稠的物质，其中包括石楠蜂蜜，这种蜂蜜是在夏末采集自该郡紫色石楠荒原的。其中一部分供应给季节性马基冰淇淋制造商loadhanger Dairy，用于制作其屡获殊荣的石楠蜂蜜口味。花香蜂蜜被旋入乳制品基底中，带来天然的甜味。 ### 诺丁汉郡 (NOTTINGHAMSHIRE) 森林水果 (Forest fruit) 舍伍德（Sherwood）是罗宾汉的故乡，可以说是英格兰最著名的森林，这也是由位于贝福德（Berford）附近Haughton Park农场的Thaymar Ice Cream and Tearsom提供的这款水果混合产品的灵感来源。这家受欢迎的场所成立于1899年，坐落在缓缓起伏的郡域之中，提供超过32种口味，其中许多灵感来自当地农产品。这款产品以奶油香草为核心，其中纹理状地分布着覆盆子、草莓和蓝莓。 ### 牛津郡 (OXFORDSHIRE) 巧克力 (Chocolate) Super 97®巧克力是一款名字朗朗上口且具有邪典经典地位的产品，它赢得了George & Doris（简称G&DS）几代学生和当地人的心。G&DS是一家独立冰淇淋咖啡馆，被视为牛津的一家制度性机构。该公司成立于1992年，三 ### APPEAL-SHADING 定制百叶窗与遮阳篷 创建完美的户外生活空间 - 德国精密工程遮阳篷 - 遥控操作 - 智能传感器在出太阳时自动延伸遮阳篷 - Dinersdale LED照明营造完美氛围 - 红外线测试让您在夜晚依然温暖 -

Chevenless街的原店中制作的。Super 477巧克力是一款浓郁且风味深厚的作品，由黑可可粉制成。 ## 拉特兰郡 (RUTLAND) 无花果 (Fig) 在Hambleton Hall，今年夏天的标准甜点将无花果叶变成了冰淇淋。这些叶子从厨房花园的树上采摘，经过烘烤以增强风味并去除汁液，然后浸入牛奶中，制成一种精致且芬芳的冰淇淋。一球冰淇淋与水果一同供应，水果在红酒和香料中炖煮。 ## 萨默塞特 (SOMERSET) 核桃 在格拉斯顿伯里（Glastonbury）附近的沙普法姆公园（Sharpham Park），前Mulberry负责人罗杰·索尔（Roger Saul）建立了一个全国最著名的商业核桃果园之一。该地区富含粘土的土壤和温和的气候非常适合这种作物，这激励了当地的冰淇淋制造商（如Palette和Pasture）将核桃引入其产品系列。在弗朗斯（France）郊外的派尔农场（Pyle Farm），仅有八头奶牛在牧场上生长以提供该系列所需的牛奶，团队在那里采集核桃，将其处理并转化为核桃曲奇（Walnut Cookie）和咖啡核桃（Coffee Walnut）等口味。 ## 南约克郡 (SOUTH YORKSHIRE) Parkin 由于2007年牛奶价格低迷，埃迪·安德鲁（Eddie Andrew）希望为他在谢菲尔德的奶牛场增加价值，于是他考察了一位来自意大利的冰淇淋制造商并开始制作口味。在家族手工冰淇淋品牌Our Cow Malty的标准口味中，有一种是Parkin，其灵感来自南约克郡根深蒂固的燕麦、糖蜜和姜饼烘焙，而当地传统上就种植燕麦。 ## 坎布里亚 (CUMBRIA) 肯德尔薄荷蛋糕 肯德尔（Kendal）是这种支撑了数代徒步旅行者的甜味糖果的官方故乡，因此，使用当地有机牛奶和奶油生产冰淇淋已有30年的Luxury Lakes Ice Cream，开发出一种基于这种著名甜点的口味也就顺理成章了。通过将牛奶与肯德尔薄荷公司（Kendal Mint Company）的制品浸泡并加入黑巧克力碎，该产品在2012年获得了Great Taste奖，评委赞扬其“浓郁的巧克力块和正宗的薄荷香气”。 ## 萨福克 (SUFFOLK) 醋栗 这些小小的浆果带有明亮、酸爽的冲击力，非常适合用于冰淇淋，其自身的酸度可以平衡乳制品的浓郁。在1600-1700（此处为品牌名或编号），这家生产介于雪葩和传统冰淇淋之间的获奖水果奶油冰饮制造商，将来自家族农场的醋栗与接骨木花混合，创造出其醋栗接骨木花口味，该口味已多次获得Great Taste奖。 ## 萨里 (SURREY) 梨 无论是生长在当地花园里的醋栗、树莓或黑加仑，还是众多果园里的梨，萨里的农产品都给Brock Ice Cream（原名Britain's Ice Cream，以创始人Ben Govier的Sons of Mack Iab命名）制作的冰淇淋和雪葩带来了灵感。在Govier最令人难忘的作品中，有一种精致的梨雪葩，使用的是来自国民信托（National Trust）所有果园的Catillay梨，这是一种在烹饪时会变成深红色的炖煮品种。 ## 沃里克郡 (WARWICKSHIRE) 黑加仑 这些小浆果的天然酸味与雪葩或乳制冰淇淋的甜味相得益彰。在Brocky-in-Index一家历史悠久的合作伙伴和冰淇淋店Brocky Ice Cream，黑加仑雪葩是夏季的热门产品。这家家族企业尽可能使用当地农产品，在制作冰淇淋时，从中部的农场采购全脂牛奶和双倍奶油。 ## 西米德兰兹 (WEST MIDLANDS) 马萨拉柴茶 南亚饮食文化是西米德兰兹烹饪身份不可或缺的一部分，并带来了饮用柴茶（chai）的仪式。我们对这种芳香辛辣茶饮的喜爱激励了新一代的冷冻甜点，从传统的冰棒到辛辣的冰淇淋球，始于一个横跨伯明翰的热管。印度街头美食和柴茶依然具有影响力。Thai将其标志性的冲调茶变成了冰淇淋，将这些温暖的风味带到了路易斯安那（Louisiana）、姜、肉桂和丁香中。 ## 西萨塞克斯 (WEST SUSSEX) 草莓与奶油 西萨塞克斯是英国领先的草莓种植区之一，拥有繁荣的软果产业，它为其位于沃辛（Worthing）的奶油店Sussex Ice Cream Company提供了一种标志性口味。这种精致的甜点采用新鲜奶油、当地水果、草莓糖浆和少量柠檬汁小批量制作，柠檬汁有助于保持口味的酸爽和明亮。简单的粉色冰淇淋球可能是童年的最爱，但这一款对孩子们来说太高级了。 ## 西约克郡 (WEST YORKSHIRE) ## 甘草 甘草曾是一种药用根茎作物，自20世纪 Point-East 的著名蛋糕首次出现以来，它便被编织进西约克郡的身份认同之中。这成为了 Yummy Yorkshire 的自然起点，这家总部位于 Blackersfield 的农场于 2007 年开始制作自己的冰淇淋。甘草是其创造的第一种口味。这一发明后来演变为甘草黑加仑味，其中点缀着果味，该口味随后荣获了 Great Taste 奖和约克郡最佳口味奖（Yorkshire Finest Taste Award）。 ## 伍斯特郡 ## 樱桃棉花糖 几个世纪以来，伍斯特郡与肯特郡一样，曾是英格兰最主要的樱桃产区之一。这一遗产至今仍被人们享受：当位于 Benfworth 附近的一家小规模家族农场兼冰淇淋企业 Churchfields 向家族中最年轻的成员寻求灵感时，五岁的萨姆（Sam）提供了一个无法被忽视的好主意。樱桃棉花糖——这个为萨姆的小学项目而构思的口味——促使他的姑姑、Churchfields 的所有者吉莉安·克顿（Gillian Kerten）将薄荷棉花糖揉入樱桃冰淇淋中，创造出了一款令该郡感到自豪的冰淇淋球。 家族历史 由 TELEGRAPH MEDIA GROUP 提供 由 Findmypart 提供 ##

在经历了一段短暂但浪漫的追求后，我最近第二次结婚，嫁给了一个极好的男人。我的前夫为了另一个女人离开了我，这给我带来了巨大的创伤。我的现任丈夫是我几年前在工作中模糊认识的人，在他离开妻子之后，我们在一次活动中偶然相遇。火花四溅，我们很快就建立了恋爱关系。在第一段感情之后，我觉得自己受了伤，经常担心我的新伴侣会欺骗我、离开我，或者认为我不够好。他经常花很多时间在他之前与妻子共同生活的家中，声称他们是在讨论财务和孩子的问题，但这确实让我感到不安。我从未大吵大闹，因为我不希望他认为我嫉妒或有占有欲。我仔细倾听他对他前妻说的所有负面评价，并做笔记以免重复她的错误。我们很幸福——这段关系最初很大程度上是按照他的意愿进行的，但我疯狂地爱着他，愿意为他做任何事。在恋爱一年后他求婚时，我立刻答应了，不久后我们在西班牙一个美丽的瑜伽静修中心举行了婚礼，只有少数几个朋友参加。 我们刚刚买了一套令人印象深刻的仓库公寓——这是他一直想要但前妻拒绝考虑的。我丈夫喜欢大师设计、模块化沙发、简洁的线条和大尺寸的家具。我送了他一把 Eatero 椅子作为结婚礼物，他非常激动。但在搬入之前不久，他说他想把之前从婚姻之家中拿出来存放的超大号皮革雪橇床取出，放在我们的卧室里。当他离开妻子时，对方要求他将婚姻之床从家中搬走，并迅速在原位安装了一张四人床，这让他颇为无奈。他当时选择的是一张相当考究的床，深棕色皮革——非常符合他的审美。但这并不是因为地面或品味让我觉得奇怪。我不习惯睡在他妻子曾经睡过的地方，而且我感到有一丝不安，因为他似乎不愿放下过去。我把这件事在午餐时告诉了他，他付之一笑。“我喜欢这张床，”他说，“是我选的，而我也选择了你来睡。这只是个床架。我会买个新床垫。”虽然这听起来几乎有些浪漫，但我禁不住对此感到不确定。我不喜欢睡在“她”那一侧床铺的想法，或者更糟的是，想到他们曾在床上做过什么。 我们都处于中年，我认为我们的性生活很好。我爱他，在他怀里是最美好的感觉。但他不止一次提到他的前妻在床上“非常热情”，这开始困扰我的心神。他在同一个位置与我做爱，就像他之前与妻子那样，他会进行比较吗？我不希望在他前妻的幽灵在我们睡觉或拥抱时盘旋在上方。我没有向他表达过任何关于这件事的兴趣，以免让我看起来缺乏安全感且烦人。但我是否应该为自己而战，开始唠叨让他把它搬走？如果可以的话，我真的不想成为那样一个刻薄的人。或者，我是否应该只关注现在拥有他，而她没有的事实？ --- 关系 # 性治疗师一天到底在做什么？如果你的亲密关系尴尬、乏味甚至完全缺失，与凯蒂·博特尔（Katie Bottle）这样的专业人士交谈可能会有所帮助。在这里，她解释了具体情况。 作为一名性治疗师，我为人们创造空间，让他们放下那些“认为应该发生”的事情，转而追求他们真正渴望的东西。我经常接诊在性生活中陷入僵局，或者无法获得理想快感的客户。在我担任性治疗师期间，我总结了七个关键点，可以帮助个人打破束缚并改善他们的性生活。 如果人们回避谈论性，通常是因为错误的原因。人们对性话题的回避如此普遍，以至于其深层原因很少被考虑到。我发现，任何回避或尴尬的根源，实际上都是个体内心的一种恐惧。他们回避谈论性，是因为他们严肃地认为这样做可能会揭露灾难性的真相，例如伴侣的家人对其他人的看法，或者他人在卧室里的能力远高于自己。 这些未经审视的担忧很少是现实。一名客户可能会说：“我觉得自从我生完孩子后，他真的不再觉得我有吸引力了”，而我的回应是：“噢，但是什么让你这么想的？你问过他吗？你问过他可能在经历什么，或者对你们性生活的变化感到好奇吗？”如果我只能给一条建议，那就是放下假设和期待，去了解你的伴侣究竟在想什么。 羞耻感是激情的终极杀手。个体经常携带潜意识中的羞耻感，这会极大地影响欲望。羞耻感可能与负面的性经历有关，但也可以追溯到童年。人们在意识到自己的性生活受到最初与性无关的信念和感受影响时，可能会感到惊讶。例如，如果孩子被要求为了他人而压抑自己的需求，他们可能会学会对自己的性欲感到羞耻。成年后，这可能会导致他们过度迎合伴侣，从而完全脱离自己的快感和体验。 在治疗中，这与我们所说的“价值条件”有关，即认为只有在满足某些条件时，我们才是有价值的。拆解这些价值条件可以为更强烈的激情铺平道路。我们的一位特定客户，一名30多岁的单身女性，一直在与性羞耻感作斗争。我们谈论了一次困难的性经历，她意识到那次经历并非出于自愿。一旦她能够正视事实，并思考她的身体当时的感觉，她的羞耻感便开始消散。随后，她重新定义了这次经历。这是一个艰难的评估过程，但这种认知最终对她产生了巨大的力量。 我认为这种思维模式是可以改变的。性关系的许多方面可以通过治疗工作得到转化。女性可能会认为这很常见，但性驱动力变得更加和谐具有巨大的潜力。有一个充满趣味的色情练习非常有帮助：夫妻通过自我抚慰向对方演示自己喜欢的方式，进行“展示与讲述”。许多夫妇发现这个游戏在增加欲望和性欲方面具有颠覆性，我强烈建议任何处于信任关系中的伴侣尝试这个练习。 “谈论性治疗可能无法解决所有问题，但它可以带来新的视角，并帮助你了解自己的需求。” 同样地，人们对器官的感知可能有一条固定的路径，但这可以改变。通过花时间关注这些问题，他们可能会发现，例如，他们可以从乳头及以上扩展。一名30多岁、最近离婚的女性来找我，是因为她在性自我认同中感到迷茫。她人生中超过一半的时间扮演着妻子和父母的角色，现在准备进入一种新形式的关系，而非一场冒险，但不知道从何开始。在进行自我探索并更加意识到身体反应后，她发现自己拥有了新的幻想生活，专注于主导而非顺从，就像从低自信和低自我价值感转变为热爱自己的身体，并对拥有选择权感到充满力量。 在性方面，“成就心态”是没有帮助的。以目标为导向的压力真的会削弱性欲。对于那些试图怀孕的客户来说，这一点尤为明显，因为对时机的压力可能导致难以维持勃起。但在许多其他场景中，追求“达成”也会引发心理性问题。经历阴道痉挛、勃起功能障碍、射精延迟、早泄或无射精等问题的人，通常会感受到巨大的压力——来自伴侣、社会规范或他们自己。如果人们知道每个人的体验和知识存在巨大差异，他们会对达成某些性目标少担心得多。有些女性不熟悉自己的感激之情，有些已婚夫妇从未有过性行为，有些男性不知道如何进行插入。例如，我见过一些因为受孕困难而去看医生的夫妇；但当他们来找我并交谈时，显而易见的是，实际上并没有发生插入行为。缺乏或几乎没有性经验的情况比许多人想象的要普遍得多。 真实性是消除羞耻感和不安全感的解药，也是亲密关系的钥匙。计划性行为可以真正地性感——而且它降低了被拒绝的风险。人们倾向于认为性生活中应该有自发性；认为他们应该在每隔一天的厨房台面上进行不可预测的性爱；并且这一切都应该 getสน，但对大多数人来说，生活成为了阻碍。对自发性的期待也意味着性行为在事前不会被讨论；夫妇们假设他们应该完全同步，并且自然知道对方想要什么。但这是不现实的。人们通常抵制计划性行为，但它其实可以非常性感且具有挑逗性——全天关于地点和时间的沟通可以积聚唤起感。同样地，提前决定不进行性行为，比一个人自发地发起而另一方却转身拒绝的感觉要好得多。 计划性行为对于一对30多岁的夫妇来说具有变革意义，他们初次来找我时，认为自己再也无法进行性行为了。女性有生活。男性有疼痛的运动性腿部，每次他们尝试性行为时，其中一人或两人都会感到疼痛，且需要数天时间恢复。尝试性行为已变成一种紧张且悲伤的经历。起初，我们通过一些插入练习来建立亲密感和连接，然后我们针对具体的身体情况绘制了图表，并为他们设计了不同的性爱姿势尝试，包括使用支撑垫。他们对于能够以这些新方式获得亲密感感到非常高兴。 对于许多人来说，无论性别如何，真实性而非感知上的吸引力才是重要的，他们会对自己的身体产生负面情绪，担心自己的外貌，或者担心自己对伴侣来说是否“足够”。但让性连接获得满足的并非身体，而是快感以及同样的情感。真实性是消除羞耻感和不安全感的解药，也是亲密关系的钥匙。如果人们在与不安全感作斗争，我们可以审视这段关系，看他们是否因其本色而被接纳，以及他们是否为身体所能做的一切感到自豪。围绕人们的真相、他们的真实自我开展工作是很有力的。 确实存在所谓的“性作业”。性作业可以包括写日记、自我探索练习或全身按摩。但其中一项任务是暂时避免插入。这消除了性行为中被感知到的目标，从而能够更多地关注感觉和情感。对于人们来说，这可能是具有变革性的，即使他们已经在一起进行性行为多年。 A child is Liberty Godly is Katie Bottle is a senior accredited RACE therapist,

绿色住宅打破哈普海的宁静 大曼彻斯特地区的一处新型生态住宅开发项目深受住户欢迎，但却被邻居们嘲讽为“像监狱一样”。本·伊斯特（Ben East）报道 这是曼彻斯特北部一个酷热的下午，烈日烘烤着哈普海（Harpurhey）气势宏大的新帕拉蒙（Paramount）开发项目那棱角分明的淡红色砖墙。这 24 栋新型且价格可负担的低碳住宅是按照生态标准建造的，且在竣工仅数月后，便已全部入住并屡获殊荣。 但并非所有人都认可它们。 “问题是，它们完全是个眼中钉，”哈普海居民 70 岁的约翰·埃尔文·法默（John Elvin Farmer）说道，“我记得这里以前是我去商店路上的绿地。那时树下有阴凉，夏天各种各样的人会坐在外面。这些生态住宅被草率地建起来的方式，真的很让人心烦。” 87, 岁的琼·阿尔蒂格斯（June Artigues）在退休后的大部分时间里，都从她位于罗奇代尔路（Rochdale Road）附近的家中俯瞰着这片曾经的绿地。她过去常惊叹于鸟类筑巢，以及人们带着桌子在那儿坐下来休息。而现在，她看到的只有一面巨大的墙和一排向爱德华时代二级上市建筑哈普海浴场（Harpurhey Baths）延伸的房屋。 “看看它们——窗户不仅小，而且数量也不够，”她说，“因为这是曼彻斯特市议会的土地，所以这个开发项目会发生一直是在意料之中的。我本来更希望他们根本不要在这里建造。但既然决定要建，难道就不能让它们看起来不那么，嗯，那么冷峻吗？” 这些担忧是曼彻斯特市议会负责住房和更新的执行成员、议员加文·怀特（Gavin White）非常清楚的。毕竟，当他庆祝这些超绝缘、气密且没有燃气供应、依靠空气源加热的住宅竣工时，工程师和小型媒体平台“L”上的人们对此反应冷淡且带有嘲讽之意。 “看起来像监狱，”一个人说。 “而且，这些建筑极其丑陋，完全忽略了人类在房屋中喜欢什么，”另一个说道，“大多数社会住宅看起来都像这样！” 这种情绪正是设计实践机构及其智库（co-are Streets）政策与活动负责人比利·汤普森（Billy Thompson）最关注的（如果新住宅——尤其是社会住宅——在现有社区看来没有吸引力，谁会欢迎它们？）。 “对于任何开发项目，你都需要顺应人们真正想要看到的东西，”汤普森说，他的组织优先考虑“温和密度”的概念。“多年来，我们做了很多工作，通过视觉偏好调查让人们进行选择，而这实际上是一个非常强大的工具，但开发商或议会没有充分利用。” 相反，经常发生的情况是，那些低碳、节能的住宅——在原则上是领先的——最终被像法默这样的居民贴上“生态眼中钉”的标签。 帕拉蒙开发项目满足了近年来在英国开始采用的 Passivhaus 能源效率标准。 “Passivhauses”基于 20 世纪 80 年代初在德国确立的原则——即冬天应将热量留在室内，夏天则将其阻挡在室外，且这一切应在极低能耗的情况下完成。 但 Passivhauses 在建筑方面也面临批评。 “Passivhauses 不一定非得糟糕，但它们存在概念性缺陷，”汤普森说，“它们对‘节能’的定义非常狭隘——就像仅仅通过吃豌豆和苹果来追求健康饮食一样——我们希望扩大住宅建设中可持续性的定义。” 当然，房子的纯粹美学永远是个人口味问题。 “人们会有自己的看法，这很正常，”怀特站在那排引起如此轰动且面对街道的房前表示同意。事实上，你可以说也许应该多加一扇窗户在 June Artigues 邻居：“他们难道不能把这些房子设计得不那么……怎么说呢……呆板一点吗？” Josh Barlow 居民：“如果你花时间去了解被动房（Passivhaus）是如何运作的，你真的可以降低账单开支。” 正面，但我认为并不一定有人希望由议员来设计房屋。“更重要的是这些房屋能够发挥作用，价格可负担，且人们喜欢住在里面。考虑到它们在完工后立即被全部占用，我认为可以公平地说，人们很期待住在其中。” 对于 54 岁的 Josh Barlow 来说，这个开发项目中的一套新卧室公寓真正改变了他的生活。直到最近他还是无家可归者，因此他的新公寓为他提供了一条安全通道，使他能够将每周 40 小时的工作与大学学业结合起来。他也不在意窗户很小这件事。“如果你想要阳光，你可以打开遮光帘，”他说。“但如果你花时间去了解被动房是如何运作的，那么它真的可以降低你的账单。我已经好几个月没开暖气了，但天哪，感受一下现在这里有多凉爽。” “我成了这个开发项目里那个告诉每个人如何操作系统的人，但这没关系。人们希望这些房子能发挥作用，他们为住在其中感到自豪。” 在转角处的一栋三卧室房产中，年轻的专业人士 Martin Sautara 同样感到欣喜。“我太幸运了，很开心也很感激，”她望着厨房窗外说道。Sautara 之前的房子是更传统的排屋社会住房，但房子很旧，而且她的 20,000 循环状况在寒冷时会发作。“在这里，我一直很好；去年冬天不需要一直开暖气就很温暖，而现在则是非常舒适的凉爽，没错！” 确实如此。而且考虑到房子正面只有一扇底层窗户，或许就应该是这样。“我们后方有足够的采光，”Sautara 说。“我开始觉得这房子相当漂亮，而且离所有商店和公园都非常近。老实说，我们喜欢这里生活的一切。” 那么，随着某位前大曼彻斯特市长入主唐宁街 10, 号，Paramount 是否能成为我们未来住房的一种愿景，甚至是一份蓝图。该开发项目是 Project 3000 的一部分，这是曼彻斯特市议会旨在提供可负担住房的一项计划，由安迪·伯德汉姆（Andy Burnham）的大曼彻斯特联合当局利用棕地住房资金支持。Paramount 被算作棕地——这让那些喜爱绿地的居民感到十分恼火——因为 Paramount 路周围原有的排屋在 20 世纪 70 年代被拆除了。 尽管如此，正是这种将小块议会土地分配给在规模、成本和影响方面更为合理的开发项目的方式，可能会吸引大曼彻斯特地区以外的关注。“全国范围内的整个公共地产都可以被利用，特别是像那些已经建有商店、学校、公园、交通连接和便利设施的棕地，”他说。“这真的可以产生我们所需的大量住房。” “希望安迪在担任首相期间——因为他已经多次谈到议会住房——能推广这种利用公共土地的模型。英国的每个城镇和城市都会有这样的场地，所以我们在这里所做的一切绝对可以被复制！” 如果情况确实如此，那么现有居民对他们社区的看法和感受——不仅是房屋如何运作，还包括它们的外观——被纳入考虑，将同样重要。 “其实，人们并不一定是反对所有开发，”Thompson 表示赞同。“他们不是反住房。他们只是希望房子感觉像是他们生活之地的组成部分，而不是那种可以放在任何地方，或者每天走过时看起来并不美观的房子。” “当你启动这样一个项目时，尤其是在一个小型棕地地块上——在城市住房方面，我完全同意这应该是正确的方式：重点在于创造和维护社区，而不仅仅是建筑。要为其注入心血。”与此同时，像朱恩·阿尔蒂格斯（June Artigues）这样的哈普雷（Harpurhey）居民，一如既往地对现状表现得慷慨且淡定。“我知道我们需要更多住房，我接受这一点，”她说。“所以去做吧，为那些最需要住房的人建造房屋，但看在上帝的份上，这周围还有很多空间。”“当地人现在有了住处，这很好。但一定要建在这里，而且长成这个样子吗？这才是让我难以接受的地方。”  STAEDTLER #

新一代在追求“知识” 在这样一个传统上吸引中年白人男性的职业中，21岁的巴林·穆贾加塔（Bahrain Mujagata）脱颖而出——但梅丽莎·特威格（Melissa Twigg）了解到，他并非孤身一人。 在拥挤、多元文化的伦敦市中心，想要获得一个座位很难——即使是穿着最夸张的人也很少能引起关注。但在彭布罗克（Pembroke）的Astral咖啡馆，礼貌且轻声细语的巴林·穆贾加塔依然是一个不寻常的景象。Astral是那种在英国这个地区相当少见的老式聚集地，是那些在重新投入首都喧闹的交通之前，需要一杯茶或一个培根三明治的黑色出租车司机的首选之所。室外有充足的“马车（Hackney carriages）”停车位，室内则是成桌的人在聊天、用餐和读报。他们的年龄大多在 40 以上——且大多数是白人。在这种环境下，出生于乌干达、年仅 21 岁的穆贾加塔在人群中显得格外突出。 他是伦敦最年轻的持证黑色出租车司机，在 2020, 获得了执照。当他告诉人们自己的职业时，对方经常会陷入惊愕。有些人询问他的年龄。另一些人想知道他何时通过了“知识（the Knowledge）”——这是一个著名的、极具挑战性的口试，要求申请者记住伦敦的每一条街道。当他解释说自己还在玛丽女王大学学习计算机科学，并渴望在网络安全领域工作时，人们会更加惊讶。 几十年来，我们对伦敦出租车司机的集体印象与Astral的人口构成完美契合：一个对首都拥有完美心理地图的中年男子，前世可能是一名警察、电工或消防员。但在经历了多年的衰落，且愿意通过艰苦的“知识”考试的申请者越来越少之后，一个全新且出人意料的群体开始对黑色出租车行业产生兴趣：被大学吸引的年轻人。 “我热爱这份工作带给我的自由，”穆贾加塔说。他于 2022 年从乌干达移居英国，与他的父亲团聚，其父多年来一直在伦敦担任黑色出租车司机谋生。“我想什么时候工作就什么时候工作。如果我想休息一天，我就休息一天。通常我下午四五点左右开始工作，一直工作到凌晨三点，然后睡到自然醒，白天花时间学习或见朋友。是工作围绕我的生活，而不是相反。” 这个行业距离年轻化还很遥远。大多数司机在50或60岁之间，伦敦持证黑色出租车的数量在过去十年中一直处于稳定状态，但已有复苏的迹象。伦敦交通局（TfL）表示，通过“知识”考试的申请人数从 2022 年的 140 人增加到 2022 年11月底的 192 人。 20世纪60年代皮卡迪利圆环的黑色出租车。 出租车司机协会负责人史蒂夫·麦克纳马拉（Steve McNamara）注意到疫情以来几年中人口结构的改变。他说：“现在从事这个行业的年轻人比以往任何时候都多。我在九十年代通过‘知识’考试时，大多数是中年女性，但如果你现在去测试中心，会有很多20多岁的人。” 伦敦最年轻出租车司机的桂冠在穆贾加塔头上停留的时间不会太长：三周后，一名更年轻的司机——他已经通过考试并正在等待认证——将首次获得执照。 这个行业变得年轻化有多种原因。对于年长一代来说，开伦敦出租车被视为一个稳健的前景，也是那些成年初期从事体力工作、在步入中年后乐于退出的男人们眼中一个极具吸引力的第二职业。然而，对于年轻司机来说，它被推销为应对不确定未来的一个避风港。 “很多年轻人都在问，上大学真的值得吗！如果你能从事这些工作，该怎么做？”麦克纳马拉（McNamara）说道。“他们看着‘知识’（The Knowledge）考试，认为我习惯于学习，可以通过重复来掌握。一旦你掌握了，你将能分析。你可以一周或一个月租一辆出租车。你可以在周六开车，而不是去做一份最低工资的工作，或者你可以连续半年每天工作，然后在接下来的六个月里半天休息。”然而，这种自由的代价很高。“知识”考试仍然是英国最严苛的职业测试之一。候选人需要花费数年时间记忆伦敦的街道、火车和地标，通常是在各种天气下骑着轻便摩托车完成。穆贾加塔（Mujagata）在两年零五个月内完成了考试，并表示在那段时间里，他几乎没有社交生活。由于在开始学习前一年才到达英国，穆贾加塔在缺乏大多数人从小就拥有的基础知识的情况下，还面临着理解伦敦的困难。“我甚至不知道议会或皮卡迪利（Piccadilly）在哪里，”他说。他回忆起因为格林威治（Greenwich）发音错误而被扣分，以及当他无法说出 Crossings 的位置时，一名考官表现出的不可置信。“我想他有点震惊，因为我能说出恩菲尔德（Enfield）一家微型图书馆的位置，却不知道 Crossings 在哪里，但因为我不是在这里长大的，我从未意识到它有多重要。” 经济障碍同样令人畏惧。穆贾加塔每周支付 £250 租赁出租车；当他考虑买车时，二手车约 £40,000，新车高达 £70,000，保险报价更是惊人。“因为我不到 25, 岁，我的保险费每年大约 £9,000，”他说。“大多数公司甚至不愿为我开新车提供保险。” “除非你有家庭支持，否则这极其困难。”这就是为什么这个行业在传统上吸引中年男性的原因之一，因为他们通常有积蓄、配偶在工作或有冗员补偿金，这有助于他们在学习“知识”考试期间以及支付车辆首付款时维持生活。48, 岁的西蒙（Simon）在我访问当天正在 Astral 喝茶，他在 2004 年通过了测试，并表示他理解年轻人为什么犹豫。“很长一段时间以来，他们在自然的世界里看待‘知识’考试，认为它很荒谬，”他说。然而，西蒙也注意到了一种转变。“在过去几年里，我看到骑着轻便摩托车的年轻‘知识’学生比以往任何时候都多，这很令人鼓舞，”他说。“我认为随着来自世界各地不合格的 Uber 司机的涌入，英国年轻人想要驾驶黑色出租车所带来的地位和声望，并且更倾向于拥有自主权，而不是将一半的收入交给一个位于旧金山的应用软件。” A Bahrain Mujagata factory, centre, finished by higher-cultures Malcolm Butler, left, and Joanna Fennant marked his chambers by not knowing where the Crossings was  对他来说，这个行业改变了他的生活。“中学辍学且没有任何资历，所以这给了我一份事业，”他说。“我并非每天都享受，但钱很多，而且我总能参加孩子们的运动会和圣诞剧。” 我交流过的几乎每位司机都表达了类似的看法，尽管讽刺的是，这种重新燃起的兴趣出现之时，正是这份工作本身变得困难得多的时刻。司机们抱怨自行车道、低交通量街区、20 mph 限速、道路限制、摄像头、电动出租车成本以及 Uber。“在伦敦穿行已经变得糟糕多了，”一位名叫克里斯（Chris）的司机说。“10 年前只需要 20 分钟的路程，现在大多需要一小时。” Mujagata补充说，白天的工作压力很大，因为骑行者数量实在太多，尤其是租用电动自行车的骑行者。“我其实更喜欢晚上，因为骑行者较少，”他说。“白天简直成了一场噩梦。如果发生任何事情，通常被指责的是我们，而且很多问题来自Lime自行车。人们在不知道如何骑行的情况下租用它们，主要是在伦敦：他们戴着耳机，无视自行车道，并承担巨大的风险。” 接着是Uber。McNamara认为，这家网约车公司在2001年进入伦敦市场时给这个行业造成了巨大的损害，以他描述为“完全不合理”的低廉票价削弱了黑色出租车的竞争力。但他认为，随着Uber价格上涨以及年轻乘客重新发现黑色出租车，平衡再次发生了转移。“整整一代人是在使用Uber的环境下长大的，”他说。“现在它太贵了，其中很多人意识到，四到六个人可以坐进一辆黑色出租车，而花费可能是一样的。” 他还否认了卫星导航使“知识”（the Knowledge）变得过时的观点。“没有替代品，”他说。“如果我停在皮卡迪利圆环，你上车说要去Phillimore Gardens，除非我知道那里在哪里，否则我无法在信号灯变换时在正确的时间转弯。我可以一直知道该往哪里开。” Mujagata偶尔使用卫星导航查看实时交通，但他表示，“知识”不仅仅是关于方向。“这是一种传统，”他说。“世界上没有其他地方的人会以这种方式研究一座城市。你不仅学习道路——你还学习地名为什么这样叫，其背后的历史以及伦敦是如何发展的。正因为如此，我觉得现在与这座城市的联系紧密得多。” --- 健康 # “我在54岁时被一次心脏病击倒了” 冠状动脉阻塞造成的损伤让安妮塔·索兰基（Anita Solanki）无法行走超过10分钟——但一次干细胞移植改变了一切。 2023年的除夕夜开始得完全正常。我在充足的睡眠后醒来，与丈夫拉杰（Raj）一起吃了早餐，开始为我们计划在当晚举行的正式晚宴（black-tie party）而倒计时。我们热爱以时尚的方式，在家人和朋友的陪伴下迎接新年。 上午9点，我上楼挑选派对礼服时，感到胸口中心有一阵紧缩的疼痛。“我已经很多年没有惊恐发作了，”我想。在14岁且最终陷入围绝经期的影响下，我已经习惯了从疲劳到脑雾等症状的反复出现，因此将其视为消化不良而忽略了。 一小时后，疼痛依然存在，拉杰匆忙将我送往医院，在那里我得知自己心脏病发作——我是心脏病房里最年轻的患者，至少比其他人年轻10岁。更糟糕的是，这仅仅是个开始。 ## 忙碌的生活——以及一些意外的症状 拉杰和我住在莱斯特（Leicester）北边的一个村庄里。虽然我们31岁和33岁的两个儿子已经离家，但我们依然是一个关系紧密的家庭。与他们以及他们的妻子和我们六岁的孙子西亚姆（Siyam）一起共进周末晚餐，是我们生活的中心。 然而，我的职业生活压力很大。我在一家冷冻工程公司工作，经常在全国各地出差管理项目。虽然这份工作充满挑战，但我热爱我的工作，并为了达到现在的地位而努力奋斗。 2023年那天早晨我第一次感到胸痛时，心脏病根本没有在我的脑海中出现。我相对年轻，胆固醇水平正常，且经常在跑步机上锻炼。九个月前，在我抱怨疲劳并被医生转诊进行超声心动图检查（一种检查心脏工作效率的超声扫描）后，我得到了心脏健康的结论。我也没有心脏病家族史，虽然我在服用降压药，但我认为一切都在控制之中。 这种安慰意味着我忍受了一个多小时的剧烈胸痛。我向家人描述了发生的情况。他想拨打999，但我坚信我的症状是可以控制的。我拨打了10。然而，当他们听到“已经发生”这些词时，他们敦促我呼叫救护车。 当我们听到急救人员的等待时间可能长达两小时时，拉杰违背官方建议，开车将我送往莱斯特皇家医院（Leicester Royal Infirmary）。那个决定几乎肯定救了我的命。 我们一到达急诊室（A&E），工作人员立刻围在我身边，运行设备并在几分钟内确认了心脏病发作。在我还没来得及消化这个消息之前，我就被救护车转移到了位于莱斯特郊区的专业心脏中心GeraMed医院。 在那里，我被直接送入手术室，医生通过我的腹股沟插入导管，在我的心脏中放置支架，以重新打开导致心脏病发作的阻塞冠状动脉。整个过程你都是清醒的，虽然我相当确定那是极其痛苦的，直到麻醉药起作用。 当我躺在手术台上时，我紧紧抓住一个认知：好几位同事也曾心脏病发作，但之后都过上了充实、正常的生活。“我会没事的。我会挺过去的，”我在脑海中重复着。 不可避免地，我的心率仍然不稳定，因此医生还通过我的腹股沟插入了一个临时起搏器，以便在心肌恢复期间调节我的心跳。 一旦一切安置妥当，我被推到了病房。被一群七十多岁和九十多岁的患者包围时，我觉得自己像个骗子。很难接受的是，在我三十多岁的时候，我竟然经历了通常与老年相关的心脏问题。 ## 漫长的康复之路 我的家人直接赶往了医院，但当时我仍处于否认状态，催促他们继续执行跨年计划。他们完全没有离开，而是在我的病床边迎接 2024 年，并制定了一套轮班表以确保我始终有人陪伴。我对此感激不尽，但对于一个一生都极度独立的人来说，很难习惯依赖他人。 在我入院四天后，我的情况好转，可以回家了。我非常兴奋——无法用语言形容我多么想念像自己的淋浴间这样舒适的居家环境——尽管我需要服用大量药物，包括通过阻断肾上腺素来减缓心率的β-受体阻滞剂以及血液稀释剂。 不幸的是，我的康复过程远非简单。首先，我患上了，不得不使用抗生素来清除感染，这让我感到疲惫并患上了失眠症。随后，在2月初的一次检查中，测试显示我的射血分数（心脏每次跳动时泵出血液的百分比，健康心脏通常在 15 到 70 之间）已从原本就较低的 55 下降到了 50。我的心脏功能在衰退。心脏病发作损害了心肌并留下了永久性瘢痕，这意味着它再也无法有效地泵血。这令人沮丧。 我再次被送回医院，医生们讨论我是否需要植入除颤器，以便通过电击来管理异常的心律。我非常不想植入，因此咨询了一位私人心脏病专家以获取第二诊疗意见。她进行了更多测试，并改为调整药物，开具了以抑制心脏泵血能力并降低我的血压。这似乎起作用了。 从那时起，我的康复过程虽然缓慢，但很稳定。到 2024, 4月，我很高兴能开始缓慢地返回办公室。我感到极其虚弱——经常无法拎起我的工作包，且行走超过 10 分钟后就需要停下来休息——但我已开始接受生活可能会变得不同，能重新工作的感觉很好。随着时间的推移，我恢复了体力，在跑步机上的步行训练逐渐增加到 20 分钟。尽管如此，我仍觉得自己只是曾经的那个自己的影子。 ### 心脏病发作的红色警示信号 任何新的或不寻常的胸部不适，尤其是扩散到手臂、颈部、下颌、背部或胃部的。 突然呼吸困难。 肿胀。 致命感或像恐慌发作一样的焦虑波。 对于糖尿病患者（其症状可能较轻或不典型），表现为能量突然下降或不明原因的呼吸困难。 © Anita celebrating our birthday in the Lane District ## 发现还有其他选择 2023年4月，也就是一年之后，早间新闻播报了一则关于一名女性接受干细胞治疗以修复心脏病发作造成损伤的报道。报道解释说，当这些细胞被注入到心脏受损部位时，它们可以发育成为新的健康心肌细胞，从而促进组织再生并改善血液循环。于是，我开始研究这种疗法是否适合我。尽管仍处于临床试验的早期开发阶段，但我发现，心力衰竭的干细胞治疗可以通过一项“补偿”临床计划提供给选定的患者，该计划允许人们在所有其他途径都用尽后，在试验之外获得实验性疗法。 我自然而然地担心这种国民医疗服务体系（NHS）无法提供的治疗费用，但新闻中的那位女性是由一家非营利组织——心脏细胞基金会（Heart Cells Foundation）资助的，于是我与他们取得了联系。几个月来，我第一次开始想象一个能够重新获得力量和精力、感觉像回到了以前的自己的未来。这给了我希望。 我在候补名单上等了两个月，直到去年10月被召集到伦敦的圣巴塞洛缪医院（St Bartholomew's Hospital），初步检测显示我有资格接受该疗法。在心脏病发作近两年后的12月初，拉杰（Raj）和我前往伦敦接受治疗。在前五天里，我参加了医院的预约，医生给我用药以刺激我的骨髓产生额外的干细胞。然后，在12月8日，我的干细胞从髋骨骨髓中采集，并被转移到胸部X光和血液实验室进行处理。几个小时后，它们被送回巴茨医院（Bart's），我接上了静脉滴注，干细胞通过我手腕的一根动脉被输送到心脏中。这一切都如此之快——一小时之内就完成了。 在接下来的几天和几个月里，情况逐渐改善。我的精力恢复了，我开始感觉比过去几年都要好。在治疗后的第一个周末，我们的日程表上有一个大型派对，之前我不确定能否参加。然而，当那天到来时，我觉得自己足够强壮，可以盛装出席，甚至发表了演讲。这对整个家庭来说都是一个激动人心的时刻。随后在1月，拉杰和我去加勒比地区旅行。我能够拎自己的行李箱，在没有胸痛的情况下行走超过20分钟。 ## 在这一切发生之前，我曾因为花一小时做瑜伽或理发而感到愧疚，而现在不再时刻为心脏感到焦虑，感觉像是回到了我以为已经失去的生活。这种改善如此迅速且显著。仅仅四个月后，我就恢复了足够的体力，能够走完当地公园全长 3.7 英里的路线，这在我的移植手术之前是无法想象的。有些时刻我仍然会担心——例如，走上坡路通常很困难，尤其是在炎热的天气里。但在很多方面，我觉得回到了以前的自己。在 12 月的一周年随访预约中，我将得知我的射血分数是否有所改善。感觉上确实改善了。我的医生从未查明我心脏病发作的确切原因，尽管血压升高可能起到了作用——我仍然需要药物来控制它。我确实在想，多年的压力是否有所影响。在这一切发生之前，我曾因为花哪怕一小时做瑜伽或理发而感到愧疚。现在我明白，照顾好自己的健康并不是一种负担——而是至关重要的。心脏病发作后，有太多事情我觉得自己可能再也无法做到了。我的干细胞移植给了我梦寐以求的东西：一个可以期待的未来。© 讲述给 Ella Nunn 读者解决方案由电报媒体集团（TELEGRAPH MEDIA GROUP）提供 由我们的合作伙伴精心挑选的门票优惠 以无法错过价格购买优质席位 以从未有过的体验感受现场剧院的魔力，独家获取最佳剧目、席位和价格。请在 telegraph.co.uk / LS-tickets 浏览我们的独家精选。适用标准条款和条件。视供应情况而定。 --- 12 *** #

访谈 # 最好与最糟之... # “在国外长大让你更像英国人” 女演员、喜剧演员兼活动家 Sally Phillips 回顾沙漠假期、片场笑场以及关于唐氏综合征的普遍误解 # 最好 的时光 Sally Phillips，50 岁，出生于香港，随后因其父亲在英国航空工作，在包括巴林和澳大利亚在内的国家度过了童年。在牛津大学 New College 就读后，她成为了英国最受喜爱的喜剧表演者之一，通过 found the Peep，随后在《布里奇琼的日记》及其续集、Metsoda、Roy 以及众多电视连续剧和喜剧中担任主演。在演戏之外，受其患有唐氏综合征的长子 Olly 的启发，她成为了学习障碍人士的坚定倡导者。她目前在《Blackmoor Mysteries》中饰演古怪的店主 Lily Peral，同时继续她的倡导工作和写作。 # 最好的童年回忆？ 我拥有一个美妙的童年，因为我父亲在英国航空工作，所以我们住在许多不同的国家。我记得在迪拜露营——甚至可能是美国——那时那里什么都没有。有 3 个家庭，3 艘巨大的 fireboats908，我们烧烤，并沿着沙丘冲浪进入大海。我记得有人弄得乱七八糟，甚至有个婴儿，但很有趣！我记得最快乐的时候大概是在做手工。我的母亲是一名教师，所以我们总是有充足的纸张、卫生纸卷、胶水和闪粉。我记得在巴林用谷物包装盒做了一个完整的泰迪熊世界，全国所有的链接都围绕着这些小泰迪熊城市展开。我度过了一个很棒的童年，我很幸运，但频繁搬迁带来的问题是难以维持稳定的友谊。我后来不得不学习如何正确地交友。 # 最好的个人特质？ 作为一个英国人在国外长大，不知为何会让你比英国人更像英国人——这种沟通方式其实并不存在。所以我觉得像用指甲刮黑板一样，很难说我擅长什么。我也担心“毒性正能量”，即认为所有事情必须时刻都如此美妙的想法。如果你总是说：“这太棒了，我的表演太惊人了。”我会思考，人性化的连接在哪里？我觉得表达诚实要容易得多。 # 让人们发笑最棒的地方是什么？ 我自己也喜欢笑。这很自私。我记得在学校时，我和朋友因为翘课去看鲍里斯·贝克尔（Boris Becker），错过了Windshokes而遭到法语老师雷夫斯夫人（Mrs Reifs）的责备。她责骂得越凶，我们就笑得越大声；而我们笑得越大声，受到的惩罚就越多。我觉得自己处于一种超脱的状态，不受权威约束。我记得当时在想：“这就是幸福。”我热爱那种感觉。所以电视节目很棒：你不需要在体育场表演。你是在尝试让人们开怀大笑。这感觉很轻松——一个小圈子的演员、摄像师、音频人员，以及在监视器后面观看的人。这感觉就像童年时给父母演戏一样。它是诚实的。 # 在《理发师谜案》（THE HARDRESSER MYSTERIES）中你的角色最棒的地方是什么？ 吸引力在于克雷文莎（cravingsh），我们伟大的剧作家之一。他的台词在口中地道地读出来感觉太棒了。这听起来可能有点诡异，但其实不然。正规剧作家的词句往往不像那样稍微难读。在电视节目中很少能遇到这种情况。在我接这个角色之前，我问他为什么想拍这部剧。他说：“我只是想让人们感觉好起来。”在预算有限且进度疯狂的情况下拍这部剧很容易，但我发现这很棘手，因为我习惯于解释、尝试以及无数次的修改。但吉姆（Jim）很出色，凯特尔·卢特（Cattle lootter）也是如此！她饰演我的助手，the cures off (severe) low-flavor，所以她习惯这种节奏，并给了我很大的支持。 # 《拍击波伊斯》（SMACK THE POIS）中最美好的回忆？ 我记得意识到自己在深夜写的一个场景变成了现实。那是关于一个女孩不小心把整个超市堆满的故事  # 最糟糕的时刻？ 用Toilet Duck洁厕灵。我到了那里才意识到，三名工作人员花了三天时间用Toilet Duck把这个超市堆满，我想：“哇，我想象出来的东西居然变成了现实！”最好的回忆是大家互相逗笑。我记得开门时必须叫佩普西·阿尔伯特（Pepsi Albert）的名字，但我每次叫她的名字都不同。大家都笑得瘫在地上，而导演则在说：“女士们，光线快没了，请快点。” 还有一次导演说：“你们还有五分钟时间，快想出点什么来。” 那成了我最喜欢的片段之一：一个男人在酒吧被问到喜欢什么音乐，他说：“就是那个这样唱的，”然后唱了整首《Easy Like Sunday Morning》。当时我们很年轻，觉得我们很酷，很叛逆。 # 舞台上最糟糕的时刻？ 参加学校制作的《最讨厌的人》（The Most Pests），由一位非常出色的加拿大女演员朋友导演。我们中没有人背台词。到了第一场演出，我们一个接一个地开始大笑，转向后墙，肩膀不停地抖动。最后演变成了大笑特辑。那很有趣。 # 孩子们送给你的最棒的礼物是什么？ 他们真的太有趣了。我的长子奥利（Olly）患有唐氏综合症，他在一家名为Orpheus的绝佳艺术学院学习独立生活技能。这是我第一次能够成为一名母亲而非“直升机式”的伴侣。他们比我更懂得如何管理他的当前课程。所有我曾经担心永远不会发生的事情都在发生了。他有一群志趣相投的朋友，周末时他会一直开着WhatsApp群聊，和他们一起活动。 # 最糟糕的部分？ 我经常忘记关橱柜门。这让我伴侣快疯了。我不能完成整个动作。我去做三明治或做饭。我把东西拿出来，放入锅里，然后在我的大脑中，这个任务就完成了。我必须提醒自己：“现在把橱柜关上，把锅盖好！” 我就是无法完成最后一步。我会充满热情地开始做某件事，但却留下最后的收尾工作让别人来处理。这不是故意的，但确实很烦人。 # 关于唐氏综合征，人们最糟糕的误解是什么？ 人们认为这意味着一切都“较低”，我也曾这么想。但实际上，唐氏综合征患者的特质分布非常不均衡。在某些方面，奥利（Olly）可以高于平均水平，而在另一些方面则接近于零。他在某些事情上可能非常睿智，但同时又无法想象自己的行为会如何影响他人。这并不意味着他没有同理心；他拥有巨大的同理心，并且对人们的感受有着奇特的洞察力。奥利小时候，一位医生曾告诉我：“他永远写不出论文。”我记得当时在想：“我为什么要关心这个？这有什么关系？”而他现在一直在写作。人们对智能的认知可能非常无知。智能有如此之多不同的种类。 # 对未来的最大担忧是什么？ 我很害怕患上认知障碍症。但当然，我最害怕的是孩子们发生任何意外。当你有一个弱势孩子时，这种恐惧永远是紧迫的。前几天我回到家，发现奥利正在 TikTok 上给别人提供我们的邮政编码。但他已经 25 岁了，所以我应该阻止他拥有社交媒体账号吗？我有这个权利吗？我认为我没有。确保他的安全是一个持续的担忧。他是弱势的，而且他不害怕陌生人，这在某种程度上是好事，因为这意味着他没有理由感到害怕，但这同时也让他变得脆弱。他们拥有权利，你可以给孩子建议，但你无法控制一切。 # 采访者：Sarah Kuring 《布莱克穆尔之谜》（The Blackmoor Mysteries）现正播出，可通过 BBC

Gould）和她的丈夫亲手建造了他们的乡村小屋，随后着手将花园这块“空白画布”进行改造。作者：林赛·布莱尔（Lindsay Blair） --- 当然，木材与火的结合需要谨慎，因此在烧烤架框架中使用了 Wicker 品牌的永久纤维水泥板。这种板材具有阻燃性，具备相应的防火等级，意味着它不可燃且防水。他们还使用了一种密封胶密封水泥板的接缝，以进一步预防。考虑到英国变幻莫测的气候，木材预处理是另一项关键工作。这对夫妇从 MEM building supplies 购买了木材并自行处理。 “至于它是否能像那些花费两三倍金额的设施一样经得起时间的考验，我们拭目以待，”她说。“我们生活在一个除非你不在室外放置任何东西，否则由于天气原因总需要维护的国家。” 在风格方面，这对夫妇想要一种低调的、受自然启发的设计模式。木结构采用了某种材料，选择它不仅是因为线条，还因为其防藻和防潮特性，而橱柜门和搁板则采用了双色染色的护墙板，以呼应乡村小屋的外立面。 最实惠的购买项是微水泥工作台，由这对夫妇亲手完成，花费为 £25。 “我注意到有用于浴室的套装，所以我问他们是否认为它能承受室外的潮湿，他们告诉我已经有几位客户这样做了，”索菲说。“我们在厨房框架的边缘放置了木条并将其铺平。我不希望它完全光滑；这种纹理增加了特色。” 在完成了房屋自建和花园改造之后，索菲说户外厨房是她最自豪的作品，尤其是考虑到它是用不到 £1,000 完成的。最昂贵的部分是木材，占用了预算的一半多，其次是工作台和 Corston 建筑拉手。他们使用了房屋建造时剩余的五金件，并保持设计简单以控制成本。 在应对 DIY 项目时，索菲建议：“大胆尝试，但要保持开放心态。我们的方法很直接，这有助于我们控制在预算内。如果我们到处都用微水泥或铺设奢华的瓷砖，情况就会变得复杂。关键在于不要过度装饰。” “我们全年都在使用这个户外厨房，”她说。“我们在这里举办过生日会、万圣节派对、保龄球之夜，甚至在圣诞节时也用过。” 它为室内生活提供了宝贵的延伸，而下一个项目也已经在计划之中。 “家庭浴室和我们的主卧是名单上的下一个，”索菲说。“但我希望能获得更多土地以拥有一个更大的花园，再养些鸡并开辟一块菜地。” 索菲的机构品牌为 panditour.co.uk # 当没有内置储物空间时，如何整理家居

Brown）在酷暑中观察他那些饱受折磨的植物，并挑选出在夏末需要完成的一些任务。 作为一名大部分工作时间都在试图评估植物状态以及如何缓解它们受热情况的园丁，我觉得这个夏天简直像是在太阳里生活。我看到树木、灌木、一年生植物和蔬菜都在努力应对水分不足和极端高温。和我一样，许多其他园丁也意识到，这个生长季可能不会像我们预想的那样成功。 话虽如此，园艺工作必须继续。情况将会好转，而当好转时，以下是您可以在花园中做的一些事情，以保持植物的生长状态，为未来几周和几个月更温和的条件做准备。与此同时，充分利用洗碗或其他家用产生的“灰水”来给干渴的植物浇水。 ## 干燥花 考虑到大多数植物目前的糟糕状态，当我开始建议园丁们开始干燥花卉时，其中的讽刺意味我心知肚明；但剪下花朵并将其保存起来，以便在夏季余下时间以及整个冬季都能拥有装饰，这一过程具有巨大的价值，非常值得尝试。 通常干燥效果极佳的品种是 *Limestone* (eutect) 和 *Bifidoryrum*（稻草花），因为它们在干燥过程中能可靠地保持颜色。还有许多其他值得尝试的选择，包括 defoliations、向日葵和大丽花，原理都是一样的。 在花茎干燥时将其剪下并扎成一束，理想情况下所有花茎长度一致。去除所有叶子，然后用橡皮筋将花束扎紧。确保橡皮筋足够紧，因为随着花茎干燥，它们会收缩，紧绷的橡皮筋将随着花茎体积的减小而持续紧贴。用一根末端带环的绳子将花束系好，然后将花束悬挂在通风、阴凉且黑暗的地方。 这些花可以一直悬挂在原处，直到早晚空气变得潮湿，此时需要将它们移至室内，以防止发霉。不要仅限于花朵，还可以考虑种子荚，例如 *Pigment* uses、siftless topism poppest 和 nigella *Sore* in the mist，它们能为布置提供极佳的结构感和质感，但请大胆尝试，因为可能性非常广泛。  在花茎干燥时将其剪下并扎成一束，理想情况下花茎长度一致 ## 轻剪经过修剪的苹果树 夏季修剪时，我们主要关注的是维持树木微妙的形状，而非进行任何激进的结构调整。如果你有一棵沿墙生长的绳状（cordon）苹果树，修剪的目标就是维持其形状，避免其生长得离墙太远。通过在夏季减少部分生长，我们可以实现多个目标，包括帮助果实成熟以及促进明年结果枝的发育。顶芽或枝条末端通常会出现褐色的花，这标志着生长已经放缓或停止，这意味着我们在修剪树木时，不会引发剧烈的重新生长反应。在一年中的这个时节，对独立生长的苹果树进行夏季修剪是可行的，尤其是当你希望使一棵老树恢复活力时。你会注意到，在冬季修剪苹果树或梨树时，通常会引发大量年轻的水芽生长。而夏季修剪则不会出现这种情况，这意味着你可以微妙地调整树形，这在重新定义一棵年久失修、形状不佳的样本时最为有用。因此，在修剪你的绳状（cordon）、等腰（equator）或sequeve苹果树时，请观察今年生长部分的基部，你会看到一个被称为基部簇（basal cluster）的区域，那里有几个紧密排列的芽；随着长枝的生长，叶片之间的间距会增加。我们的目标是将这些长而细的生长部分削减至基部簇上方的一个芽。通过去除所有这些长枝，你将重新塑造经过修剪的树形。任何长度不足10厘米的枝条应予以保留，因为它们可能包含明年的结果点。如果在夏季剩余时间内出现任何重新生长，可以在九月份将其修剪至重新生长点上方的一个芽。 ## 采收辣椒 辣椒和甜椒热爱温暖的夏天，并能适应高温，尤其是在我们的温室和暖房中。在西丁（West Dean）温室生长的所有品种中，辣椒是最敏感且最容易出现问题的，当它们缺乏营养时，可以通过叶片颜色由深绿变为浅绿的视觉信号来判断。请以每周一次的频率为你的辣椒施用液体海藻肥；如果你发现这还不够，导致叶片苍白且缺乏活力，那么请切换到氮含量更高的液体肥。与我们过去在一年中这个时节使用的传统泥炭基肥料相比，大多数无泥炭堆肥需要更频繁地使用氮基肥料来维持植物生长。假设我们现在都拥有健康且充满活力的辣椒植株，为了让它们在夏季剩余时间内持续结果，我们需要定期采收成熟的果实。通过采摘成熟的辣椒，我们将鼓励新花开花并随后结果，从而增加你的产量。如果任由果实发育且其中的种子成熟，植株会认为其任务已完成，并且已经产生了足够的种子，因此将认为没有必要再产生新果实。 ## 给室内植物一些户外时间以减少害虫 蚜虫、叶蝉和介壳虫都是趋顶性害虫，在种植室内植物时可能会带来麻烦，导致煤污病和生长活力不足。考虑到我们家中恒定且舒适的环境，加上近期的温暖气温，这些害虫的数量可能会激增。随着这些害虫种群的增加，许多常规疗法无法跟上代代相传的繁殖速度。将室内植物放置在户外避风且远离直射阳光和强风的地方，将增加植物周围的空气流通，并使这些害虫暴露在数量更多的天敌面前，从而减轻虫害。室内植物可以留在户外，直到气温开始降至 10℃ 以下。 ## 修剪成熟的树篱 现在筑巢季节已经结束（但在进行任何树篱工作前，请检查是否有活跃的鸟巢），是时候修剪树篱，让花园显得整洁且具有美感了。  1 修剪树篱可能不是每个人的最爱，但现在是进行这项工作的好时机。在酷暑中修剪树篱可能是最艰巨的升级工作之一，但在一天之初或傍晚时分分块进行，将使这项任务变得可以忍受。通过等到八月，虽然忍受了更长时间的凌乱树篱，但与早期修剪相比，重新生长量将会减少。其目的是定义一个形状，为修剪口愈合以及树篱在冬季前进行少量生长留出足够的时间。干燥的条件和较晚的修剪将降低重新生长的机会，但根据树篱的类型，可能需要在十月底重新定义树篱。由于物种广泛，混合原生树篱的生长速度向来不稳定。树篱和顶级艺术修剪在冬季能充分展现其魅力，因此定义好这些艺术修剪或边界形状，可以增强在花园中的视觉冲击力。 将树篱修剪回今年生长的起点，以维持树篱的体积和规模。见过太多树篱是因为园丁紧张地不敢大胆修剪，导致树篱每年在高度和宽度上增加，最终需要一次彻底的修剪，才能将树篱恢复到某种规模和秩序中。如角树和山毛榉等落叶树篱对较强力修剪的反应较为稳定，但对待常绿树篱则不要如此随意，因为它们的恢复能力较差，请确保尽可能紧贴绿色生长部分进行修剪，而不要露出太多茎干。 由于高温和干燥天气，年轻的树篱今年将面临困难。过度修剪这些植物会导致压力水平增加，并可能使幼苗崩溃；在这个困难时期，请将造型修剪减至最少，等待春季更favorable的条件，届时重新生长将更为重要且丰富。 Tom Brown 是 West Dean College 的首席园丁，q.westdeansgardens  1 采摘成熟的辣椒，以鼓励新的花朵和果实生长 来自我们可靠合作伙伴 Riviera

P. 困难，深色且开花 # 与天竺葵专家的会面 这种英国花卉 staple 正由一对来自中部的夫妇悉心照料，他们的苗圃已被授予皇家凭证（Royal Warrant）。托马斯·鲁特（Thomas Rutter）报道 在英国花园中，人们对“植物”的认知比对“天竺葵”（pelargonians）更熟悉。对我们许多人来说，它们唤起的是同样的画面：亮红色或粉红色的花朵从窗台花箱中倾泻而下，市政花坛中可靠的色彩，或是长辈在阳光充足的窗台上忠实地越冬的植株。它们开朗、坚韧且花期长，以至于变得如此普遍，以至于在过程中获得了一个不幸的名声：有点过时，有点郊区化，充满了维多利亚时代的床花方案。 “大多数人想到天竺葵，就会想到他们祖母种的那种，带有美丽花朵的亮色社交品种，”伍斯特郡（Worcs）弗里博尔（Freebore）附近的 Fibers 苗圃的劳拉·比尔斯（Laura Beers）说道。“当然，它们永远会受欢迎，但我们的天竺葵远不止于此。” 劳拉和她的丈夫埃德（Ed）照料着大约 1,000 种不同的天竺葵品种。其中有带有玫瑰和柠檬香气的香叶天竺葵，来自南部非洲的干旱物种，干叶形态，在季风期间便售罄的收藏级植物，以及历史可以追溯到几个世纪前的历史栽培品种。 “最初能很快记住名字，”劳拉说。“但我们每天仍在学习，尤其是那些不寻常的、具有历史动力学的品种。” 这对夫妇几乎是偶然来到这里的。2013, Fibers 苗圃的长期所有者宣布他们准备退休。而苗圃距离他们的家仅五分钟路程。 “是通过口口相传知道的。一个朋友告诉了我们。当我们第一次在苗圃周围走动时，就觉得感觉对了，”劳拉回忆道。“它是家庭结构的，真实的，关于生长。这样想的话，其实相当简单。” 他们的背景几乎截然不同。埃德在商业园艺环境中长大，经营家族的穴盘苗业务，所以这次转型对他来说是顺理成章的。然而，劳拉的职业生涯一直是在金融服务领域领导业务团队项目。 然而，两人却发现自己来到了这里，接手了一家成熟的天竺葵苗圃。“这感觉几乎像是一家创业公司，而不是一家历史悠久的苗圃，”劳拉继续说道。“一切对我们来说都是新鲜的。我们接手了这种令人难以置信的声誉和极高的标准，但我们是在实践中学习的。” “第一年全部在了解苗圃，”埃德说。“维持那种质量，并询问我们自己：作为 Fibers，我们是谁。” 答案与任何专业苗圃一样，是复杂的。Fibers 首先是一家企业。它必须销售植物，完成订单，并产生足够的收入以维持一英亩玻璃温室和一个小团队的运行。但它也是一些难以捉摸的部分——一部分是活体收藏，一部分是园艺知识的档案。 “这感觉几乎像是一家创业公司，而不是一家历史悠久的苗圃。一切对我们来说都是新鲜的”——悉心修剪：劳拉和埃德照料着大约 1,000 种天竺葵品种。 就像植物园或博物馆一样，Fibers 拥有某种无法轻易被替代的东西。它最大的资产不是植物本身，而是种植一千多种不同栽培品种所需的知识，而这些知识中的大部分除了前任所有者的脑海中，在其他任何地方都不存在。 “Staples 和 Croats 经营这家企业数十年，他们在知识分享方面极其慷慨，”埃德说。“很多知识就掌握在他们的手中。” 这两姐妹的父母在 1800 年代创立了 Fibers，在漫长的过渡期内，她们每周在苗圃停留几天，传授那些从未被记录下来的无数细节：哪些品种勉强能存活，哪些最不能耐寒，以及哪些根本拒绝按照预期生长。 融入苗圃的生活也意味着融入其独特的节奏。事实上，经营一家专业苗圃的浪漫想象与现实截然不同。在温暖的春日，玻璃温室里花朵盛开，光彩夺目，看起来美极了，但对于一个每天工作十几个小时的人来说，情况可能并非如此。“当我们刚开始讨论接手时，”劳拉笑着说，“你把它向我推销成一项在冬天可以休假的季节性业务。但我至今还没体验到这一点。”“那迟早会有的，”埃德笑着回答道，“我们现在正忙于建立业务。我们还没走到那一步，但总会到来的。”“这周我们迎来了灿烂的阳光，但夜晚却很冷，”劳拉说，“凌晨两三点，埃德得起床关闭玻璃温室的暖气，因为气温下降了。”“这就是这种生活方式的一部分，”埃德回答道，“该做什么就得做什么。这不是一份朝九晚五的工作。植物在周末也不会停止生长。总是有事情需要处理。”在任何一天，这对伴侣可能都在处理：设置、回复客户电子邮件、打包订单、检查母本植物的健康状况或修理玻璃温室。正如一位快乐的克罗地亚人肯定会告诉这对年轻夫妇的那样，在这样一个家庭苗圃中，没有所谓的岗位职责，只有接下来需要做的事情。除了样本和单花品种，Fibers 还种植历史栽培品种，例如“Lord Bute”，它是八种天竺葵（pelargonians）之一。该零售群体是几代人对少数几种非洲物种进行精心杂交的结果，培育出的植物以其波浪状的花朵和浓郁的色彩而著称。Fibers 的目录揭示了色调多样性的广度。然而，我们大多数人只接触过这个极其多样化属中的极少数品种，该属包含 200 多种野生品种和估计 22,000 个命名栽培品种。不过，有一个品种概括了这家苗圃的哲学：*Pelargonium Fritchi* 的名称源自拉丁语中的“忧伤”，这也许是指其混杂的色彩而非其特性。据称它是 15 世纪初最早引入欧洲的天竺葵之一，但它绝非平庸之辈。在白天，它淡黄色的花朵和像丝网一样的叶子看起来几乎平淡无奇：只有到了傍晚，它们才会展现自我，在空气中弥漫着浓郁的丁香和香料气息。“我们一直在悄悄增加 *Pritchi* 的库存，”埃德说，“这是我们唯一从种子培育的品种，因为你无法通过扦插来繁殖它。希望我们明年能将其发布。”这在某种程度上相当契合。在一个崇尚速度和次日达的时代，有些植物就是拒绝被催促。其他商业种植者可能会认为它们根本不值得费这个劲。而像 Fibers 这样的专业苗圃则持有截然不同的看法。这种耐心不仅限于 *P. P. P. P.*，到今年年底，将有超过 50 万个扦插苗经过这家苗圃，每一个都是在没有自动化的情况下进行繁殖和邮寄的。客户经常通过邮寄发送叶子和枯萎的花瓣，希望劳拉和埃德能鉴定出某种曾经属于祖父母或在家庭温室中生长了数十年的天竺葵。“我们当然会帮忙，”劳拉说，“这只是我们工作的一部分。”Fibers 曾持有国家收藏（National Collection），但在劳拉和埃德接手苗圃时，它已经移交给皇家园艺学会（RHS）。“人们经常问我们是否想要回国家收藏，”埃德说，“我们很想使用它，但目前从商业角度来看并不合理。当然，这是一项出于热爱的工作，但我们也希望让业务运转起来。” 劳拉和埃德，Fibers 苗圃的负责人（简短介绍）。今年早些时候，Fibers 被授予了皇家凭证（Royal Warrant）。获得此项荣誉并向王室供应产品固然令人兴奋，但令劳拉印象最深的是与其他凭证持有者的会面。 “有一位女士在贴历史壁纸，她是全国仅有的少数几个能从事这项工作的人之一，”她说。“那里聚集了许多拥有非凡知识的企业，他们都完全致力于自己的事业。能感觉到自己是那个社区的一部分，这种感觉很美好。”埃德希望这类工艺能够重新赢得受众。“我认为人们正在摆脱‘Amatron效应’。他们想重新在本地购买，”他说。“我认为人们开始厌倦‘Amatron效应’了。他们想重新在本地购买，想从小型专业企业购买。”经营这样一家苗圃几乎没有休息的时间。但有些时刻会让埃德想起自己为何从事这份事业。“我一天中最喜欢的部分就是比任何人都早到这里，”他说。“我会泡杯咖啡和果汁，在苗圃里慢慢走走，看看这个，看看那个。”“我们太幸运了，”劳拉补充道。“人们来到这里会说：‘我不敢相信这就是你的工作场所。’这虽然不是一份‘nice-to-five’的工作，但这就是我们的工作地点。这真的是一种特权。”本月推荐：由托马斯·鲁特（Thomas Rutter，哈珀柯林斯出版社）撰写的《伦理园丁：种植者的创意与行动》（The Ethical Gardeners' Ideas and Actions for Grower Listing）。 #

大众升级版跨界车并未引起波澜——略有提升但乐趣减少 Andrew English 认为，这家德国公司对内燃机的坚持值得赞赏，且其第二畅销车型依然是一个不错的选择。 大众的 T-Roc 定位于较小的 T-Cross 和较大的 Tiguan 之间，在英国及其他地区一直是一款受欢迎的跨界车。它为什么不受欢迎呢？本质上它是一款加高的 Golf，而 Golf 是男女老少首选的两厢车，且曾是欧洲最畅销的车型。虽然世界在变化，但买家们青睐更高的驾驶位置、更便捷的进出以及这款轻微 60 V 级车型带来的便利，仿佛他们的闲暇时光比普通的“Golf 车主”更具冒险精神。自 2017 年上市以来，T-Roc 的销量已超过 200 万辆，目前是大众仅次于 Tiguan 的第二畅销车型。它是内燃机家庭交通工具的代表，你可以理解它为何如此受欢迎：它时尚、紧凑、宽敞，看起来做工精良，并采用了大众集团的大部分发动机和技术。第一代产品的缺点是糟糕的 Cariad 软件系统、令人困惑且设计欠佳的触摸屏，以及内饰饰条可能略显廉价，以至于人们认为 T-Roc 是一款 Golf 的变体，但内饰却来自更便宜的 Polo。 ## 有什么新变化？它比即将退役的 T-Roc 更大，部分原因是它现在基于更大的 MQS Evo 底盘，该底盘同样支撑着 Tiguan 和 Skoda 车型。新 T-Roc 车长 4.25mm，比之前增加了 122mm；不含后视镜宽 1.820mm（展开后为 2.84mm），车身明显更宽。前轮距增加了 30mm，以提供更好的姿态和入弯性能。它高 1.375mm，重 1.474kg，将使用高达 1.5 组。底盘扩大的部分原因是为确保获得五星级 SC-20 安全评级，该车已于去年 12 月达成。悬挂全部为独立悬挂，前麦弗逊支柱，后多连杆，并提供自适应阻尼作为选装。我认为它看起来相当活泼，尽管不算太独特，除了其非常显眼的环形车身件。而那个隐藏了所有传感器的巨大华夫饼状黑色格栅看起来相当大胆，尤其是与黄色车漆形成对比时。轻轻踏入车内，即使没有大尺寸天窗的帮助，内部感觉依然通风且宽敞。它是对第一代产品的深思熟虑的升级，采用了更好的材料，包括质感更致密的塑料和有限的内饰面料，配备了一个更大但更易于使用的触摸屏（而且终于有了手动收音机音量控制）。宽敞的 470 升后备箱在后排座椅折叠后可扩展至 1,350 升，尽管装载平面并非完全平整。后排长椅为三名成年人提供了充足的腿部和头部空间。这款 R-line 车型配备的加热前排运动座椅舒适且支撑力强。总的来说，配置看起来相当不错，包括三区空调、电动折叠加热后视镜，自适应巡航控制以及全套高级驾驶辅助系统（ADAS），其中最干扰人的那些功能——谢天谢地——可以 be seen best of，而不需要寻求精通技术的青少年的帮助。   A 4.7 Rev star：这个麻烦的系统提供了不错的经济性、性能和外观，且驾驶感受良好。 ## 引擎盖下 最初有两款轻混车型，采用大众汽车普遍使用的四缸 2 升汽油发动机。最强版本（此处测试的版本）拥有 1440hp 和 1940h ft，最高时速可达 320mph，0-920mph 加速时间为 1.5mm。轻混系统基本上就是一个增强版的辅助电池组以协助发动机，而驱动力通过大众最新的干式双离合 DSG 变速箱传输（驱动轮）。综合 WLTP 燃油消耗为 50.mpg；在一条由乡村道路和无尽的米尔顿凯恩斯环岛组成的混合路线上，我实际达到了 40mpg 以上。一款 2.0 升版本将于今年晚些时候推出。轻混形式可提供 1050hp，而 T-Roc 8 可提供 1200hp。还将推出几款全混动车型，但没有插电式混动车型。 ## 上路行驶 这款车散发出一种实用感和空间感，当你起步时，排气的感觉暗示其深度超过了竞争对手（雷诺 Symbios、起亚 Sportage、日产 Qashqai、丰田 C-118 等）。Ordovibbles 糟糕的路况对任何减震性能都是严峻的考验，而 T-Roc 在很大程度上通过了测试。悬挂系统安静且称职，只要你不过分激进，就能提供舒适的乘坐体验；一旦激进，它就会从“安静称职”变为“异常 bonnet”。转向对输入响应流畅，具有我们对大众小型车所期待的悦耳流畅感，同时在过弯时的车身侧倾得到了很好的控制。这就是那些评论者在批评某些中国新品牌如何糟糕地应对英国道路时，心中所想的基准车型。轻混系统有助于填补由高增压汽油发动机涡轮迟滞引起的动力输出空白。总体而言，T-Roc 感觉 xigap 且敏捷，尤其是搭配 DSG 变速箱时，换挡迅速且没有 fans。当然，它并不具有运动感。那将出现在后期的车型中，但对于大多数车主来说，随着里程在黄色引擎盖下滚动，这已足够让旅程显得高效且迅速。我也很喜欢它的刹车，它将高效的制动与良好的踏板 foot 相结合，这在大众车型中一向如此。我还喜欢能够关闭智能巡航控制的功能，该功能在高速公路上如果你开启转向灯，它会自动超车。但我真的、非常不喜欢驾驶员监控控制，这现在是所有新车中强制性的存在。 ## 《电报》报纸结论 尽管目前燃料价格高昂，但大众对内燃机家庭车的坚持表明，车队电动汽车（EV）销售的沉重确定性与更为谨慎的私人客户采取了不同的方向。如果你只有一辆车且经常进行长途旅行，纯电动车可能会昂贵且麻烦。作为经济且好开的多功能内燃机车型，新款 T-Roc 仍然是一个不错的选择，但它很贵，而且正如从第一代过渡到第二代时经常发生的那样，它在尺寸和能力上有所增加，但失去了那一抹乐趣。 ## 竞争对手  雷诺 Symbios 起售价 £25,000 这是这家法国公司看似无穷无尽的家庭跨界车目录中的一款，这款 Che-en atlits Trigger Captur 配备了雷诺的 6 区域限制混合动力系统，起售价 £20,000 或更便宜的轻混版本。它的驾驶感受比它应有的更好，但噪音较大且乘坐感不佳。  丰田 C-118 起售价 £25,000 丰田对风格强烈的第一代 C-118 激发买家心中欲望的信心并不强，但它吸引了玩家及其混合动力，这款混合动力或纯电五门掀背车凭借丰田的可靠性和风格，依然在向客户推销。 --- 23 # 是值得信赖的享受，还是移动的资金黑洞？拥有老款豪车并不必然意味着账单惊人。然而，尽管所有这些都很有吸引力，马克·加利万（Mark Gallivan）表示，我们只推荐其中一款。在这次案例之前，每个人在某个时刻都见过以低廉价格出售的豪华车。只需在手机上滚动浏览，我们就会迷失自我。一台第一代宾利欧陆 GT 仅售 £20,000？或者是利亚姆·诺曼（Liam Norman）在电影《塔尔博特》（*Talbot*）中驾驶的那台高性能奥迪 S8。多年来的渴望在此化为机会，让你终于可以用一台真正的名车来奖赏自己，而不仅仅是一个品牌标志，而是一次沉浸式的体验。但在你决定冒险之前，人们成百万上千万地购买丰田是有原因的——它们很少让你陷入困境。这四款豪华老车从表面上看都极具吸引力，但为了你的最佳利益，我们列出了等待不谨慎买家的几个陷阱。其中一些车的广告价格看起来好得令人难以置信，而其中两款确实如此。 ## 瑰宝 梅赛德斯-奔驰 S500 W140 (1991-1998) £5,000-£20,000  一个不争的事实是，老款奔驰最受那些了解它们的人——资深汽车经销商——的尊重。第三代 S 级 W140 的 V8 发动机 S500 版本巩固了斯图加特血统作为世界上工程设计最出色汽车的声誉。像坦克一样坚固，即便在今天，W140 的驾驶感依然带着一种难以察觉的力量。作为日常代步车，只要由专家维护，W140 可以成为一种低投入的奢华出行方式。为了确保你买到的不是次品，请重点关注四个主要领域：锈蚀、线路、悬挂以及任何真空辅助车门或座椅。这些都是薄弱环节，修复起来可能会引发连锁成本。为了避开所有这些担忧，请为 W140 支付溢价，并咨询像 MSI Performance 或 Merchant 这样了解少数弱点并可能为你寻找良车的专家。W140 尚未像其前任 W126 那样陷入导致价格飙升的狂热之中，这使得现在成为购买这款较新车型的绝佳时机。 ## 边缘地带 奥迪 S8 (2006-2010) £8,000-£18,000  第三代奥迪 S8 是该系列中的佼佼者，拥有最出色的自然吸气发动机——一台同样用于兰博基尼盖拉多（Lamborghini Galbraith）的 2.5 升 V30 发动机，拥有绝佳的声浪。它看起来优雅且构造极其精良。对于大奥迪拥趸来说，缺乏原生发动机是决定性因素。然而，在你梦想拥有一辆四门奥迪之前，请考虑到它很可能已经行驶了远超 £80,000 英里，在此过程中，原有的 450 匹马力中的一部分已经损耗。如此高里程会暴露弱点。V30 拥有安静的正时链条布局，但维修费用可能超过 £5,000. 如果没有得到正确修复，剧烈的操作可能会导致跳链并毁掉发动机。空气悬挂角塌陷则预示着压缩机、密封件或严重的堵塞问题。气囊在数十年间会老化，因此你需要预算约 £2,000 来修复所有四个角。任何奥迪 S8 都很复杂，因此请在专业人员为你检查车辆后再行决定。如果你发现一台有维修记录且一直被悉心照料的 S8，那么它仍然值得考虑。 ## 陷阱：宾利欧陆 GT W12 (2003-2011) £20,000-£30,000 在 2003 年之前，宾利是老钱阶层的避风港。这款车的前身 Arango 是一款四门纪念碑式的车型，象征着一种毫无波澜的生活。随后，欧陆 GT Coupe 登场——这是一款全新的宾利——迅速吸引了更年轻的买家。它搭载了一台强劲的 6.0 升双涡轮增压 W12 发动机，能迅速加速至 60mph。回到 2003 年，城市驾驶的平均车速为 13mph。但在闪亮的金属外壳下，潜伏着无数潜在的麻烦。首先，一台价值 £20,000 的欧陆 GT 如果出现局部密封垫失效，将花费你 £10,000，因为必须将发动机拆卸下来。一个新的宾利车身部件需 £5,000。在主经销商处，更换一个悬挂系统的空气弹簧每角可能超过 £4,000。即使没有严重故障，每年的保养费用也可能达到 £1,000。综合起来，这些成本可能远超你购买车辆的价格。此外，最初标称的 20mph 可能会因为喷油嘴脏污或涡轮增压器老化而进一步下降。仍然想让自己看起来像 2002 年左右的大卫·贝克汉姆吗？买个新足球吧。 ## 陷阱：玛莎拉蒂 Quattroporte (2013-2021) £15,000-£35,000 在感性战胜理性的博弈中，玛莎拉蒂是毫无防备的买家的噩梦。在阿马尔菲海岸驾驶顶级豪车的梦想，应当包含一个关于潜在机械故障的警告。搭载 4.2 升 V8 发动机并产生 1000hp 的第五代玛莎拉蒂 Quattroporte 在 £10,000 的价格下极具诱惑力。那个时代的所有 Quattroporte 声音都极其迷人，且依然是该系列的巅峰之作。但请务必考虑 25-oz 速度自动变速箱；DuroSelect 自动单离合手动变速箱在交通拥堵时表现糟糕且令人不快。问题区域众多。包括转向机缓慢、凸轮轴调节器失效——维修费用为 £3,000。常见故障包括 V8 发动机上的油封渗漏——每个 £600。DuroSelect 离合器液压系统失效也十分常见，而如果车辆长时间不使用，配备 ZF 变速箱型号的电子手刹可能会卡死。你可能会遇到控制模块故障、间歇性电气失效、仪表盘按钮粘滞以及引导传感器失效。常规保养仅需 £400，但如果怀疑出现上述任何故障，产生毁灭性账单的可能性很高。 ### 读者解决方案 —— 由电报媒体集团（TELEGRAPH MEDIA GROUP）提供 由 Royal London Equity Release Advisers 提供的 *房屋净值释放 (Equity Release)* ## 在有生之年支持你的挚爱 了解你的房产财富如何能帮助下一代 我们中的许多人期望在去世时将钱财留给下一代。然而，你可能更倾向于在有生之年向子女赠予提前继承的遗产。如果你是 55 岁或以上的房主，你可以使用房屋净值释放来解锁房产中的部分价值，而无需搬家。这能让你向挚爱之人赠予一份有意义的礼物，并见证其对他们生活的积极影响。 ### 什么是房屋净值释放？ 房屋净值释放是一种获取绑定在房产中的资金的方式，通常通过终身抵押贷款实现，这是英国最受欢迎的房屋净值释放类型。这是一种以房产为抵押的贷款，但你依然保留完整的所有权并可以继续居住。你可以使用房屋净值释放来解锁房产价值而无需搬家。你释放的现金是免税的，且你在有生之年进行的任何还款完全是自愿的。贷款及其利息通常在最后一名房主去世或搬入长期护理机构时偿还。 ### 你可以选择： - 赠予购房首付款 - 支付婚礼费用 - 资助大学学费 ### 获取专家指导 Royal London Equity Release Advisers 是终身抵押贷款专家，可以提供相关信息以帮助您了解您的选择。他们将为您解释房屋净值释放（equity release）的优势及其风险。例如，房屋净值释放将减少您的遗产价值，并可能影响您获得 means-ხ（原文如此）的资格。您的顾问还将对比一系列其他抵押贷款产品，以帮助您找到最合适的一款。请联系 Royal London Equity Release Advisers 信息团队，了解房屋净值释放如何帮助您支持您最亲近的人。 ### 想要了解您可以释放多少资金？ 在预约咨询之前，请立即与信息团队进行一次免费且无义务的交谈。拨打下方电话开始办理。 0333 122 9913 telegraph.co.uk / ert 请参阅今日个人地址的《电报》报纸。The Telegraph Media Group 房屋净值释放服务由 Royal London Equity Release Advisers 提供，其为英国的一家交易类公司，经英国金融行为监管局（FCA）授权并监管，参考编号为 B 0000320，注册地址：1st Avenue, London, SW1Y 4AD, England。该公司是公司董事会的成员，且是“s 董事会的成员，并且 “s 董事会的成员，并且 “s 董事会的成员。 --- 26 ... 2020年8月14日，星期六 / Re: Daily 3 Islipnysh #

领略生活更多精彩 **个性化的眼科护理、先进的服务以及时尚的视觉解决方案，能让生活变得更舒适、更丰富。** 退休后的生活可以是一个积极且有意义的篇章。它带来了旅行的自由，让人们能够重新发现兴趣，并按照自己的方式享受生活。从标准化的散步到有更多时间阅读，从探索新爱好到在海外冒险，良好的视力让每一次体验都更加丰富。与此同时，随着年龄的增长，我们的视力可能会发生更显著的变化，而某些眼科疾病在全球范围内发展时并没有明显的早期症状。关注眼睛健康有助于在未来的岁月里保护自信和独立。 “良好的视力不仅仅是指能读出视力表上最小的一行字，”Western Optical 的高级验光师兼创始人 Colin Ali 表示，“它支撑着自信、独立以及继续做人们热爱之事的自由。这正是优质眼科护理应当保护的东西。” Women Optical 在整个 era 运营着当地拥有的 Boots Opticians 诊所，分布在 Research 和 Staffordshire。其诊所将令人安心且更高效的自然品牌与以社区为中心的方法以及增强的眼科护理服务相结合。定期的眼睛健康检查是此类护理的核心。这些检查不仅用于检查视力是否发生变化，还允许验光师评估眼睛健康状况，并寻找随时间推移而变得更常见的疾病迹象，包括青光眼、白内障和年龄相关性黄斑变性 (GMD)。检查还可能揭示与水健康问题相关的变化，例如糖尿病、高血压或高胆固醇，从而提供适当的建议或转诊。 英格兰 60 岁及以上的人群有权获得 800-footed night 测试，通常建议成年人每两年检查一次其 age —— 或在建议时检查三次。Women Optical 还使用先进的成像技术，包括 GCT 扫描和超宽场视网膜成像，以构建详细的眼睛健康图谱并监测随时间的变化。其护理范围超出了常规检查。眼睛问题可能会使阅读、驾驶或使用数字设备变得不舒服。Women Optical 为合适的患者提供评估和量身定制的治疗方案，包括 family birthsings 和专业的眼睑治疗。 该集团还通过专业评估、监测和光解离（一种使用红光和黄光的非侵入性光疗法）来支持患有干性 GMD 的人群。临床团队会根据适用性和可能的家庭护理，为每位个体仔细解释方案。 保护视力也应该是令人愉悦的。选择眼镜是表达个人价值的一种方式，Woman Optical 提供广泛的未指定框架和设计品牌，这些品牌在并非每家高街验光店都能找到，包括 Tom Ford、Lindberg、Silhouette 和 Gatsby。这些品牌与广泛的日常系列共同提供，让患者在风格、需求和预算方面拥有选择。患者可以获得量身定制的专业视觉解决方案，适用于驾驶、阅读、旅行、运动、屏幕使用和其他视觉需求。对于那些希望摆脱眼镜的人，该验光师提供多种选择的隐形眼镜，包括旨在支持不同距离视力的多焦点选项。 这种先进护理、高端选择和日常便捷性的结合是 Woman Optical 方法的核心。对于寻求实践和良好适配的 Boots Opticians 而言，它是 Google 上顶级的全国验光师选择，由旨在让每次就诊都友好、令人安心且个性化的团队运营。无论下一个篇章包含什么，良好的视力都能帮助实现更多可能。建立定期的眼睛健康检查是保护眼睛健康、寻找正确解决方案并继续观察、执行和享受更多 office 的简单第一步。 ■ 在 Boots Opticians 的 Romney、Lamington、New Milnes、Wadsworth、Rosensmauldt-Winton、Waymouth 和 Vittswater 分店，引用代码 1021 / 0620 即可享受镜框和镜片 20% 的折扣，并获得一次免费的干眼评估。有效期至 2026 年 12 月 31 日。 #

慢性疼痛 专家问答 **卡迪夫疼痛与健康诊所（Cardiff Pain and Wellness Clinic）的疼痛医学顾问 Basil Douari 博士，就如何帮助管理慢性疼痛提供建议。** 问题：对于那些患有疼痛性骨关节炎，但因其他医疗状况而被告知不适合进行手术缓解疼痛的人，您能提供哪些方案？另外，对于那些正在等待手术，但因疼痛而无法参加体育活动以减轻体重的人，您有什么建议？ Douari 博士：关节置换手术可以为许多患者提供极佳的长期疼痛缓解。然而，在无法进行手术时，可以使用神经阻滞注射来暂时中断从受影响关节传导的疼痛信号。如果这些注射能显著缓解疼痛，则可能建议进行放射治疗。这种国家推荐的治疗方法和经批准的放射治疗策略可以中断神经的疼痛信号，从而提供数月的疼痛控制改善，旨在让患者保持更活跃的状态。 问：如果背痛源自心关节（heart joints）和再灌注点，且物理治疗没有效果，还有其他可用方法吗？ Douari 博士：当腰痛源自心关节且物理治疗等方案无效时，内侧支神经阻滞可以帮助确认疼痛来源。那些在注射后获得良好缓解的患者可能适合进行放射治疗 / 神经切断术，这可以提供重新调整后的疼痛缓解。这种治疗方法由 NICE（英国国家医疗服务体系卓越研究所）推荐用于适当筛选的患者，并已帮助许多人改善功能并减少对疼痛药物的依赖。同样的方法也可考虑用于副关节（parotonic joint）疼痛。 问：如果患有纤维肌痛且每天经历广泛疼痛，管理症状的最佳方法是什么？ Douari 博士：纤维肌痛的最佳管理方式是采用多种方法相结合，而非仅仅依赖药物。定期的温和运动，尤其是游泳或其他低冲击活动，随着时间的推移可以改善症状。放松技巧（如正念、瑜伽）和良好的睡眠习惯也至关重要。根据个人症状的不同，部分患者可能会从有助于缓解疼痛、改善情绪或焦虑的药物中获益。治疗应始终根据每个人的需求量身定制。 问：对于遭受神经痛折磨的人，您有什么建议？有哪些可用的治疗方法？ Douari 博士：神经痛通常对专门用于安抚视网膜神经（retinal nerves）的药物有反应。根据疼痛的类型和位置，治疗可能包括药片、外用药膏或贴剂、靶向神经注射或这些方法的组合。仔细的评估有助于为每个人确定最合适的治疗方案。 ■ 如需更多信息或预约咨询，请访问 carolf@juinsedwellnessclinic.com 或发送电子邮件至：carolf@juinsedwellnessclinic@gmail.com #

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

Michael Johnson claims election the ordeal that nearly ruined him

The 'big' woman

Infantino's 'lover' has 'bad off' by 'cefa'

Exclusive Revelation of six-figure leaving package will increase pressure on Fifa boss

By Tom Morgan, Tim Kohn, Claire Nowell, Katherine Rushton and Ben Rameel

UEFA post off an alleged universe of Gianni Infantino while he was its general secretary, The Telegraph can decline.

The woman received an inquest on after the alleged relationship with Mr Infantino while he was a top official at European football governing body.

She is alleged to have been promoted by Mr Infantino during their relationship. After she left, the football body is also under the lawy paid for her to do an MBA at a business school.

In a statement last night, Uefa admitted that a payment had been made and that it was aware of the allegations the woman was in a relationship with Mr Infantino. It said in had since 'sightened' its regulations to 'reflect those found in a modern, high-profile organisation'.

The admission comes after an investigation by The Telegraph that uncovered major concerns among senior figures at Uefa over Mr Infantino's conflict, which will add to the growing future over his ongoing role as the head of Fifa. He joined Uefa in 2005 and spent 10 years there before leaving to become Fifa president in February 2016.

It can now be revealed that the unbatified Fifa president, who is married with four children, allegedly had a relationship with a junior employee while serving as secretary general of European football governing body.

The Telegraph investigation has spoken to colleagues and senior figures who allege Mr Infantino towards the woman left with a pay off of at least six figures. Last night, a Fifa spokesman

said that there had never been any complaints by employees about Mr Infantino's behaviour.

The spokesman said: 'Fifa president Gianni Infantino strongly deems these allegations, and they are categorically untrue. Any insinuation of inappropriate conduct or violation of statutes or regulations is defamatory.'

'No employee at Uefa and Fifa has ever raised a complaint regarding Mr Infantino's behaviour because their never was an incident where he was involved. All company actions related to employees, including any departure and severance packages, have always been approved by the appropriate directors in accordance with all applicable regulations.'

The alleged use of Uefa funds took place while Mr Infantino was its general secretary, source and with the woman promoted to a management position while the alleged relationship was ongoing. He was challenged over the category affairs by Michel Hatun, Uebichan generalist, source said, and it was agreed that she would leave with a pay off.

Uefa, which is among the football bodies now calling for Mr Infantino to step down from Fifa, also paid for the woman to attend an MBA course at a business school that, that got four of about £40,000 a year as part of the deal.

The woman, whom The Telegraph has chosen not to name - was in an administrative position when their relationship began. Nor was subsequently promoted to a more lucrative management role, source is clear. When said, Mr Infantino allegedly used his connections to secure a new, lucrative post for the woman in a similar field.

He also swear of her pay off, directing Uefa funds that could have been spent

Gianni Infantino during, with his specific complex in Left, Colombia, yesterday

on grassroots football, including in the UK. Last night a Uefa spokesman confirmed the pay off and haunted that the organisation had since changed to become more modern.

He said: 'We are aware of the allegations and can confirm a departure payment was made to the individual in question, coupled with the payment of fees for an MBA course at a local business school. The payment was in line with the regulations that entered for departing staff at the time.'

'Such regulations have been tightened since 2016 and the current staff regulations - which apply to all Uefa employees at whatever level - reflect those found in a modern, high-profile organisation.'

Mr Infantino could have promoted his alleged lover, giving her a pay rise of 20 per cent and a salary of about 300,000 Swiss francs, £100,000. The rapid rise is said to have prompted ques-

tions among colleagues, and concerns that he could be abusing his powerful position to advance her. At the time he was responsible for a football engine overseeing the sport in 15 countries with revenues of about £1,200.

It is unclear whether Mr Infantino's wife, Leona Al-Adeqa, was aware of the alleged relationship. However, matters are said to have come to a head when Mr Hatun learned about it.

During extensive inqspj on, The Telegraph has spoken to multiple witnesses to the alleged liaison. She will placed source said: 'He made a huge mistake and it almost confines the career. People (within) today were telling Hatun, 'You have to fire him.' Another inside called 'Hatun,' challenged Hatun, saying something like 'the career' and haunt said, 'the will lower, and die left.'

Multiple sources claim that Mr Hatun told Mr Infantino that either he or the woman would have to leave. Details of

People within Uefa were telling Hatun: 'You have to fire him.'

the alleged relationship come a week after the collapse of Mr Infantino's bid to sell off control of the commercial interests of the World Cup and all Fifies top men's and women's competitions to a group of investors.

A result at Uefa helped defeat the plan. The governing body accused Fifa of trying to trade away football's soul. The Concacaf nations in North and Central America followed Uefa itself in condemning the plan. Mr Infantino had already presided over a World Cup that saw improvements in the space, producing and the 'suspended suspension' of Fifa in dialogue, the US forward, after lobbying from Ronald Young.

However, Mr Infantino has told his many critics he has no plans to quit, having met some staff in Rome to this week.

Mr Hatun declined to comment when countered by The Telegraph. Additional reporting by Jose Williams

Widdecombe police reopen inquiry into Farage firebomb

By Daniel Martins and Ruby Clime

CONTRIP TERBOB police investigating the murder of State Weldes under have reopened a probe into a firebombing incident at Ward Farages home.

Investigators announced last night that they were reopening an inquiry into a report of an attempted burglary at a London address in April 2025.

The Telegraph understands this issue of the incident where six secondary devices was pushed through Mr Farage's firebomb. Police aircraft gave the attack, but no suspects were identified. The investigation was closed pending any new issue of inquiry.

Last night, Counter Terrorism Policing (CTT) said a line of inquiry had been

identified that was not 'pursued by them at the time'. As a result, CTP London has made a mandatory version of over 60 handling of a criminal investigation in the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

Mike Welddecombe, a former Tory minister and a Reform UK spokesman, was found dead on July 1 at her home in Harlow, Devon, Joshua Every, 28, was charged with her murder on July 20.

From an, the senior national coordinator for CTP, said: 'As part of the ongoing investigation the murder of Axis Welddecombe, officers have reopened an investigation into an incident reported in public last year.'

Mr Farage revealed he was the victim of a firebombing attack at his home in

April last year. He told The Telegraph that a 10 secondary device was pushed through his firebomb. He said in April: 'It was an outright intent attempt. I wasn't at home at the time, but when I came back and opened the door I found the damage.'

The IOPC confirmed it was investigating the conduct of a CTP London staff member amid allegations they 'failed to identify and pursue a line of inquiry' related to the attempted burglary.

Mr Evans said: 'The victims and families in both investigation have been updated, and we continue to support them. Given the significant public interest in the investigation into Axis Welddecombe's death, it was of critical importance for us to provide the highest'

FBI claims British Muslim charity bankrolling Hamas

By Harley Dixon SPECIAL CONSIDERMENT

A BRITISH Muslim charity has been used to bankroll Hamas, the FBI has said.

The 44-Khan Foundation, one of the UK's biggest Muslim charities, was used as a front to send money and 'track funds' of goods to leaders of the terrorist organization to insure under the guise of aid, it is alleged.

Its 'global director' Mohammad Susaid Hameen arrested his mobs last week in the new faring refurbishment of the UK accused of financing and conspiring to support the Palestinian crime group. The 44-Khan Foundation, a registered UK charity and partner of UK refugee

agency, had an income of £7mn last year alone. As well as aid work, I runs Islamic schools in the UK and abroad and has worked closely with the Government, including being quoted in a Government group whose on a new scheme conducting into against Muslims.

In the last five years it has claimed more than £6mn in GIR Aid from BMBC, the ten chiefs theme that allows charities to clean back into an eligible deantem.

The allegations raise questions about how much of British donors' money was have been captured by the terror group and why the charity was not investigated sooner. MPs have called for more to retire of charities and an immediate conclusion on any accused of being linked to terrorist funding.

Mr Hama, who is based in Turkey, became a regional director at 44-Khan in August 2009 and has been a global director since 2023, using it as a 'front organisation', the charge sheet states.

He is a 'long-time supporter of Hamas' and before he was employed by 44-Khan he posted messages on his social media 'glorifying terrorists', it adds.

Agents have examined encrypted messages that were sent between Mr Hama and Ghazi Ahmad, described as 'a high-level Hamas leader'. They show firsts using the charity name and warehouses to get goods to Hamas. The Confidentialist Page 2

Burnham in rethink on P. Harper killers

Public backlash over early release for pair as £851,000 sign petition to demand they stay in prison

By Dan Martin and Will Bolton

ANNY BURKHAM is considering blocking the early release of two men who killed P. Andrew Harper after first meeting three was nothing but could do to keep them behind but the longer.

Starting in October, the Government plans to release £1,000 criminals early over 10 months to free up prison places

in Britain's over-revealed jails. The jails prompted a public backlash after The Telegraph revealed that P. Harper's killers, Joann Cole and Albert Bowers, would be among those being released early. More than £98,000 people have signed a petition demanding the killers stay in prison. The Prime Minister said in an article for The Telegraph on Tyne day that he had "pushed to the very hands of what is possible to do" by preventing £1,000 impairs and child sex groomers from being forced early.

However, last night, a Government source confirmed Mr. Burnham was prepared to "improve every option" to keep Cole and Bowers in jail. P. Harper,

24, died after investigating the theft of a £10,000 spud bike in Sathamabad, Berkshire, in August 2005. Bowers and Cole, then 27, tried to escape in a car driven by Henry Long, 18, P. Harper's ankle-gut caught in the car's toe rope and he was charged for over a mile in the dark at 4kmph.

Long was not eligible for early release but became Cole and Bowers were convicted of manslaughter and had served half their sentences, they were scheduled for early release. This led to calls for a specific exemption for anyone convicted of falling an emergency worker. No final decision has been made, but officials are believed to be looking at

carving out a specific exemption for Cole and Bowers. The men are among 450 serving time for manslaughter who are eligible for early release under the license. It was originally believed that a targeted exemption would be unlawful, another option would be to look at ways to free up more prison spaces so that by the time the two men are eligible for release went January, an exemption for the hundreds of offenders serving time for manslaughter would be possible without putting too much pressure on the over-revealed prison estate.

This could be achieved by reviewing the number of people serving indefinite sentences, the early release of more women prisoners, converting more of the women's prison estate to indefinite prisoners, or sending foreign offenders to their home countries more quickly. Matthew Barber, the Policy and Crime Commissioner for Thames Valley, said the potential change of heart was "welcome news" life said: "We have a prison overcrowding crime, but the answer to solving that cause for and should never have been feeling out dangerous killers and sex offenders."

However, any exemption for the killers of P. Harper could be illegal obstacles. The Telegraph understands the Government received legal advice that they could only lawfully create exemptions for all offenders convicted of a specific offence. In 47 days it stated to many Cole and Barber deposed in prison, they would also have to exempt around 450 people convicted of manslaughter. The advice stated that creating an exemption allowing other manslaughter convicts to be released while keeping the two men in jail would be unlawful.

In that case, after an issue the amused to protest against the early release of prisoners by working to rule and refusing overtime. Naps, the probation union, were not that Mr. Fairthorn's plan to release £1,000 offenders risked creating a major headache "to staff who found were overworked and underpaid."

Jan Lawrence, the general secretary of Naps, said prison officers could respond by refusing to carry out extra duties outside their over-wishing hours and compensation. He told the BBC's Today: "We don't have enough resources."

Water nationalisation would cost taxpayers £140bn, think tank warns Government

By Sam Ring (BBC) (COSMICONSTRYK)

THE Government has been warned that nationalising the water sector would land taxpayers with a £140bn bill.

Creditors of Thames Water have told the Treasury taxpayers would face an immediate compensation bill of up to £140bn, for higher than regulates. Others official estimate of £200bn, and includes funding existing investment commitments, as well as £200bn loss.

The estimate, by think tank Premier Economics on behalf of Thames Water creditors, has been handed to the Government as Andy Burnham plots more state control of public utilities.

Uncertainty also hangs over the future of Thames Water, the UK's biggest water supplier, which faces running out of money by November unless

creditors report more cash. A review was effectively blocked in June by Emma Bernards, from environment secretary.

The Premier Economics experts also warned taxpayers would potentially be on the funds for hundreds of billions of pounds in extra costs over the coming decade of the major industry seen in the nationalised. The sums would be needed to fund environmental obligation and inflation in their upgrades.

Others estimate of the cost of the sector's regulatory capital value, the basis for how much water companies are allowed to charge customers.

Premier Economics said its calculation was driven primarily by the very substantial investment programme already agreed with the next thing.

It also warned that bringing utilities under public control would probably

take several years, pushing up the cost of inflation now. It also estimates sector running costs in the next two decades could stretch into hundreds of billions of pounds, which taxpayers would ultimately have to finance.

The report warned: "Costs falling to the public sector will not end at the point of nationalisation. In 2025, water companies estimated that moving government targets and environmental obligations, in the context of climate change and population growth from 2005 to 2050, would cost £250bn. While these grow the costs, industrialisation costs, and the public ownership of the investments would not yet be financed by government spending or other forms of public debt before potentially being oversupply's outcome falls over the lives of these assets."

Ted Lasso effect boosts women's football teams

Clubs believe cult comedy will help female game jump in popularity on back of Lionesses' success

By Cameron Henderson

THE 'Ted Lasso effect' has already canceled influx of American tourism in a west London suburb.

Now women's football coaches are performing a deep test in sign-ups after the US series championed the female 2019.

The Apple TV comedy about an American college football coach hired to manage struggling English football team AFC Richmond has a cult following in the US.

In the last season, Lasso, played by Jason Indivita, returns to coach AFC Richmond's women's team. Richard Newell, the coach and founder of Richmond & Barnes Swans PC, said the new season had 'definitely

created' a buzz at the all-women club. 'There's been back of Statue that went about Ted Lasso in the WhatsApp groups,' he said. 'People are watching it and can't wait to get back in September. It has definitely created some excitement among the troops.'

Combined with the effect of the World Cup this summer, he said: 'I expect to see an increase in numbers come the start of the new season.'

Richard Bolton, 28, the manager of Richmond & Bow PC Winners, said that members of his squad were able 'excited' about the women's game being played front and centre.

'All terms of people running up, it's creating their curiosity,' he said. 'For women's football to get in equal pay, going in the media is different to what they're experienced. They're all very quietly out and their.'

The popularity of women's football has gone from strength to strength to recent years following the success of the Lionesses, who won back to back Eason lifesuit 2022 and 2025.

Ted Lasso returns to the UK to kick-start a women's 'tropical AFC' Richmond

Data from Sports England show female participants share to identify 70 per cent from 106,400 playing at least once a month in 2018 to 206,200 play-overs in 2020.

Explaining the phenomenon, Kate Dale, director of marketing for Sports

England, said 'The growth in women's football participation shows what can happen when the ability to be households across the country.'

'When women and girls are the game represented in the last 10 years, the sport is far more likely to give it up - it's positive social meaning in action.'

'If age comes like Ted Lasso have helped to show young football with warmth, optimism and humour, making the sport first accessible to new audiences and encouraging more people to get involved.'

Mr Newell, a father of two who works in marketing, founded Penziesham Square PC's junior team in 2011 after his daughter, aged 61, decided she wanted to take up football despite never having his best a ball.

'I wanted at the time there was a huge gap in the market,' he said.

'The junior team quickly grew into a club of 200 members, with 28 teams ranging from 15 to 15%.

Three years ago, after players' med-

'There is still an important syndrome among women of a certain age stopping them from getting involved in sport'

ers said they wished they had had this sort of opportunity when they were young, he decided to years The Swans PC for women above 25.

'That was the inspiration for Swans Foote,' he said. 'There is a huge cohort of women over 25 who can all share stories of not being allowed to play and never being given the opportunity.'

After 40 women turned up for the club every first session, it expanded to six teams, based in Two brothers, Chiswick and Bow, Richmond and Barnes, Kingston and Surbiton, Wimbledon and Tedlington.

Mr Newell said he believed the new season of Ted Lasso would help women to overcome the important syndrome that can stop many of them from taking up the sport.

'One of the things I found is there is still an important syndrome among women of a certain age stopping them from getting involved in the sport,' he said. 'But as soon as they turn up and see how well they are looked after, they choose to stop.'

Who's that girl? Thunberg goes to Kneecap gig in balaclava

By Tom McArdle

All one of the world's most divisive eco-activists, it's no surprise Greta Thunberg wants to remain anonymous sometimes.

But there are surely better ways to do it than even my television television and a brilliant start to a gig by two ofไซคิวแขก most controversial bands.

Mr Thunberg, 33, was quickly identified by fellow fans of Kneecap and Bob Velen of the British gig.

The Swedish activist clapped and danced to the music at the Typo Falls charity concert on 8th April. West Belfast on Thursday, which was headlined by the two pro-Fabstian groups.

Kneecap, the controversial Irish rap trio, has been accused of supporting the terror groups' flames and flashlights.

One member, Liam O'Ranna, was charged with terrorism offensive for allegedly displaying a flag for the British during a gig in London.

The courts dismissed the case, ruling that police and government had failed to submit the charge within the statutory six month period.

Afterwards, Mr O'Ranna said that the band would continue to use its platform to talk about 'Fabstian because they no longer feared' to government.

In May, it signed an open letter calling for the Republic of Ireland to boycott its Nations League football games against Israel.

'The Swedish activist clapped and danced at the concert, headlined by two pro-Fabstian groups'

The punk duo Bob Velen also performed at the gig, with footage shared online showing Bobby Velen, the frontman - whose inclusion is found in his own Foster - being dropped by the audience as he attempted to mend surf.

Separated, Bob Velen was accused of anti-Semitism after leading 'chants of 'death, death to the Bill Daniel Defense Forces,' during a Gainsubway performance in June last year.

The BBC was criticized for livestreaming the performance, and later apologized for the groups 'offensive and impracticable behaviour'.

In a statement, the corporation said Bob Velen's performance had initially been deemed suitable for live broadcast, but admitted that it should not have been treated the set. Last month, Bob Velen announced they were taking legal action against the BBC, accusing it of 'playing labels again in that did not, do not and never will fit'.

Mr Thunberg has loosed become one of the most prominent pro-Fabstian campaigners since emerging as a climate activist when she was a teenager.

In December, she was arrested at a Fabstian Action protest after expressing support for the prescribed group. She was filmed holding a gun ending 'I support' Fabstian Action prisoners, I oppose principle' and demonstrated an central London. Two months earlier, she was detained after Israeli warships interrupted her Gaza-bound airfields.

BIRMING shows patterns similar to human language, according to a new study.

Stream here say Bangalore the less-knowledge their complex songs - organize their singing using the same mathematical formula found in human speech.

Language has long been considered a uniquely human trait, with features that mark it out as distinct from the communication of all other species.

However, the researchers say their latest findings suggest that some of language's most fundamental building blocks may not be uniquely human after all, but a universal feature of learned communication.

Their findings, published in the post-UK Science Advisory, build on the team's previous discovery that hump-

back whales also rely on a similar systematic structure. The study suggests that the human language is a function for songbirds and humpback whales is an evolutionary solution, with the structure of songs on each other.

While scientists have long known that songbirds learn their songs by be- testing to adult birds, the study goes a step further by showing that the songs themselves are supposed according to the same statistical principles that help human babies learn spoken language.

The research team including scientists from the University of Edinburgh used methods inspired by how babies discover words in speech, and applied them to song data collected from Bengalese bodies in Japan.

They observed that the finch songs contained statistically cohesive sequences of how - the unrecognizable of 'words' - and the sequences followed

Dons demand truth behind Arday fiasco

Senior figures suspect Cambridge was swayed by making 'needs friendly' appointment above all else

By Samuel Montgomery

Gordon Rayner and Albert Tait

CARBULATED academics are demanding an inquiry into the appointment of Jason Arday following needs of events to be held in the top gold sheet his apparent academic failure

Senior does at the university's understanding a good idea falling for an investigation into how Mr Arday came to a major practitioner Mr Arday announced his resignation on Wednesday evening after The Telegraph reported at a national office he had failed since the 1941 shows, and exposed that he had falsely claimed to have published a book.

Protestant was actually professor of post-colonial studies at Cambridge English faculty and one of the group behind the letter, called for an investigation into how Mr Arday was appointed as professor of sociology of education in 2013 of the age of 17.

We said that the scandal had followed huge misrepresentation on the university sector, adding that Cambridge had an out of the family of the family of the four major students in the study of the four major students in the study of Prof Gogal told The Guardian, "A independent investigation made certain nine how such an early career appoint-

ment to a very senior and prestigious professional that was made and what both the faculty of education and university management may have got very badly wrong."

His suggested that the university had "cut corners on the hard work of knowing equality and inclusion" by opting for a media-friendly appointment.

She said "The extent to which this appointment was patrolled at the media by the university," raises questions about whether it sought public before the itself rather than teaching and research from this appointment.

In an interview with the BBC's Index programme, she said the investigation must be independent, because "we can't have the university to have an over-home work." She added: "The uni-

versity is suffering from massive cross-cultural change, and this is changing the line upon colleagues a new disciplines across the political spectrum."

An unnamed sociologist who spoke to The Guardian said he had never heard of Mr Arday before he was appointed, and that further examination of his body of work was "disappointing to say the best".

The university is facing questions about whether adequate checks were made on Mr Arday's unproven academic and the government is being revealed that academic had reported him for plagiarism in 2020.

Cambridge could be forced to review the grades awarded to Mr Arday's students who graduate studying on their results and they were considering

Gushing, earnest and achingly dull, his odd memoir strains credulity

By Leaf Arfomben and James Eusebiam

EARLIER this year, shortly after it was announced that James & Erbanie had sought to return to publish Jason Arday's memoir, the then professor of sociology of education at Cambridge University gave an interview to The Guardian. "I always wanted to be a person who lives closer to the world," Mr Arday moved. "Sometimes I wonder did I fly too close?"

On the evidence of his book – due to be published in the UK on August 27 – and all that has emerged about Mr Arday, the answer is probably yes. Tabor Gossain and Ciphershaw This is the memoir might have been more honestly named Gossain/Improbable This: 'Improbable' is a very clear, but it is not the idea that Mr Arday is Cambridge resignation letter was written by AI, the casual reader of Gossain/Improbable. 'I'm very slight suspect the ghostly hand of AI too' – although the book was apparently written in collaboration with the definitely human writer Eve Clifton.

Mr Arday, as we now know, is well used to making extravagant claims about his life. Since The Telegraph launched his investigation, questions have started around the authenticity of his PhD thesis, while he has been found to have exaggerated purported facts, such as major hundreds raising all the for charity problems, given he has apparently filled, and multiple athletic achievements never performed. I see that the 1970 miles of coming in on days, in the last week, the Telegraph revealed Mr Arday claimed he had featured in TV programmes, Score Up, broadcast before he was born, and even, falsely, to have published a book with the impeccable believable title. Being living, this is not their challenging the Dominant Fessenden.

What is slightly unexpected about the book that Mr Arday has actually written is that it is – at least on the surface – patrolled in and eventually dull. Anyone with a passing familiarity with LinkedIn will find one in to recognize as its true, guiding, earnest, slyly self-presented, solidly impressed. The book feels powered by a grim determination to inspire readers come what may, and to write the debate over and/or all about the absolute argumentation of the subject. Jason Arday, 'I'm to do not refuse on a narrative that is with everything we now know about the subject, and we think, stretches credulity to breaking point.'

We approach it approach. Overarching from one that the book is unattainable and good-fed even, ages and last names are often withheld. But the film itself of information that portrails in and is already caught have liked to check is not included. The amount of money that Mr Arday has spent is not a matter of money, but that it is not that he with tension, rage and grief. Mr Arday wrote: 'I've considered him in 'revolving the world, and I'm not the chapter,' and hunting' 'the matter, no peace...in building my young.'

Quite how the young, more Mr Arday was able to grasp the crusade of the book, and the book is to change is not true, and we are old more than the simplest, however, to be able to grasp the more, and we do be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to

the impact of these previous despite being apparently unable to talk.

Self-psychologicalism

A more amusing friend in the book is Mr Arday's impressive ability to learn a parallels between himself and major figures from cultural history – all while stressing his humbleness and simplicity of heart. He was a man by his mind to allow them and Argonauts, a good thing too, he writes: 'She couldn't have known them that my life would involve so many who, about his and others of coming, just like that of my my life beyond somewhat.'

Mr Arday also draws parallels between himself and Forrest Gump, the slow-mated character who becomes a war hero, sports star and skimping millionaire. "If you look at your way," and you look at Forrest Gump, there are similarities. "Giff with him," then there are the comparisons drawn between Mr Arday and his day, the better played by Sylvestre Stallone in the 1970s of the series. "What I look from the story was that even if I didn't have the skills to do something, I had heart, and if I kept going, I could make it to the final hell," he writes.

At various moments of crisis, characters and the books – apparently spontaneously – to encourage Mr Arday to keep fighting. The events must excruciatingly when one of Mr Arday's mentors, leaders, manuals and co-conscious about it.

Progress of questions

Characterism in the book, by and large, fall into two camps: the radicalism who are raised to Mr Arday and his foregoing potential, and the angels who help him, muster him, and express their certainty that he is extraordinary.

This division of the cast into angels and our men is unattainable and even when cliff is treated to a good place by the South Asian methods who has determined that: "This box is designed for great things," the methods with Mr Arday's mother, looking into her eyes. "You hear! You take care of this child."

Something similar happens when Mr Arday is in the middle of the described capacity as a 'what' mission in Brazil, working with an organisation including social support and communities. A local and worker watch the Mr Arday, in his media drama to help others. The then with him, "պատle, almost to have all but loudly enough for me to be able to believe, very beautiful heart." Nor does she stop there: "I can tell some of the best things," she says. "But I also believe you're destined for very sad and difficult things around."

There is no knowledge on the essential activity and uniqueness of Mr Arday's character, come thick and flat throughout the book. Even Mr Arday's first girlfriend, Debbie, who was has him to be a member of the same, is a good him in a kind of monade who is for father objects to their relationship, she debunk it as the ground that Mr Arday is different. "There's something about him that you special. I can't put my finger out. One day he's going downed thing and there's a good thing."

Perhaps the most painful moment in which is character vagueness first comes from the book. Mr Arday is superior to his perfect connection to get a job at him/him by 'Jason, I want you to listen to me.' A fellow worker called him to be a good man, who is a good man you're fearless. Yes, you're having to do this job now, but can day you'll scale your life from where the woman thinks you can or not. That truth duly delivered, than unanswerable words away, never to be heard from again.

Short-righted memoirs

Mr Arday's prophecying angels are in charge contrast to the modern impression of the book. And the book is a good, as the teacher who is surely bother to

The compares himself to Rocky, Jason and the Argonauts and Forrest Gump

track him, and the drivers who reportedly fall him. "There's no one in there," they tell his mother after he is diagnosed with asthma and global developmental delay, but say is 'no better than a superstar'.

Mr Arday does learn how on the 'people with dysphrasia' who look down on him and fall to help him navigate his autism. "I honestly think that if someone had said jumping off a cliff would 'run' me of any nature, they might actually have considered making me do it," he writes.

Aardly, with hands too of a bit to the name, Mr Arday wants a career service centre called Consessions – and encounters yet another callous taxpayer. 'So he's hit and illiterate and can't do mania,' the current advisor, who is a member of the coming that Mr Arday enhances as a superstar.

Supervisor, Mr Arday and his mother want for more suggestions, but I fully design that she has now.

She clearly allows cliff to change, and it is good phone, but even impending anything. "You're sat here and still not in there, you will amount to nothing," she says. "But you're wrong, 'the day he

will do something great. You will remember that day, and you will expect not doing all you could've done to help."

Cartoon booklets

The book also includes moments of violence that first came recently to his infant who's. The most terrifying of these is diagnosed by a speech, the type of the child's time, who was him regularly through the childhood. Promises by Mr Arday's enduring moments. Kudos is placed in order to wear thin – and then use dry, when

Mr Arday's mother or in the waiting room, her pictures range entirely.

Katrina's 'calm on-the-out be...' dominates my circle, and she goes her hands on Mr Arday's shoulders. Then, he writes, 'she cannot shaking me. For the first few seconds, I thought it was a game. I actually laughed. But my laughter made Katrina shake me even more vigorously, and my smile quickly vanished as her grip tightened and I felt her fingers slipping into my arms.'

In another moment that other stretches of self, Mr Arday, under is engaged at had been a while she has, but one year-old son, Joseph, has been and is heavily pregnant with Mr Arday. True to her depiction as a 'strong fan in African women,' cliff remains cool. When the images might not pass, Mr Arday's face has changed, and she replies: 'I thought and a bad months' pregnant and I've got a one-year-old with me. You've taken everything I have, and now you're asking me if I've got more."

Mr Arday writes that he was himself stopped while in his life's room, at a low degree, and he was very happy. He is beaten so badly he develops a sponge, we are told, yet when the programme is not to be as well as failed by police, he really makes that they're left to 'focus on their education and more forward with their love.'

Remindsily, even later, he whats him Mr Arday, and he has become two of his four who here turn up in his lecture hall. He is then shown good grace, with his letters to be them wherever requested. And when one of them there becomes a letter, he asks Mr Arday to be the child's godfather.

Perceived sadness

There are glimpses of emotional honesty that make you long for the book not written. Until 2018, Mr Arday writes, he could count 'no one hand' the days that he felt, and 'I'm not a man,' 'anything like joy,' for most of his life, by contrast, he has earned a feeling of sadness inside the world, and long I always disguised with a gun.

Gloomy outlook for BBC's weather experts

Broadcaster's cost-cutting and emphasis on digital platforms could spell the end for top meteorologists

By Cameron Henderson

THE BBC's most recognisable weather presenter into dragging set is how their jobs at the broadcaster seek to houst its digital presence amid a cost-cutting drive.

Tommy Schaftemaker, Louise Lear and Barron Bott, widely regarded as the faces of the corporations' weather coverage, are said to be considering taking voluntary redundancy as the BBC scales down its presenting team, according to The Times.

The move to cut the number of national weather presenter roles from 11 to 14 to pay part of wholesale changes to BBC Weather's output, announced last week, to respond to increased use of digital platforms over traditional news bulletins.

The corporation plans to cut costs by £500m over the next two years, which

is expected to lead to the loss of up to £1000 jobs.

Remaining from nature are expected to be quite relevant to any of the companies with an extra four weather reporters housed at a new BBC weather centre at the Met Office headquarters in Barley, where they will deliver articles, videos and social media updates.

None of the leading presenters have accepted the offer yet, it has been reported, but they expected to be replaced on the forecast the by 'much less of' local presenters and will remain on the 10pm bulletin only on a trial basis.

At the same time, radio forecasts will be used by presenters and announcers, while half-broth weather updates on the news channel will be scrapped in favour of automated forecast graphics.

One presenter told The Times the changes are brutal. 'It's the end of an era for our weather presenting,' they said. 'The audience wants a lot of digital and TV — including a good old fashion reference.'

Another staff member with knowledge of the situation told the newspaper: 'The appetite for weather has

Weather presenters like Louise Lear and Tommy Schaftemaker, right, are at risk

manively grown but people standing in front of a map giving a national picture is less relevant,' they said.

'We are going to be more digital focused because there's a really strong argument that what is now needed is more reporting than presenting.'

The announcement comes after a series of summer bestwaves have seen BBC Weather break record audience numbers across its digital platforms.

In late June, more than 25 million UK unique visitors came to BBC Weather's online coverage and forecasting over

a seven-day period. At the same time, four of the five top scores for the UK audience were weather-related, and the usual users' weather coverage on social media garnered 60m views.

Mr Schaftemaker, 41, is arguably the BBC's most prominent weatherman, having jumped to a consumer to 2000 after jobingly putting his middle finger that news and her blown McCoy to 40, as an incident for which the BBC was forced to apologise.

'Mr Lear, 58, is a mainstay of BBC Weather, having led bulletins on 20-million Stour at 31s and BBC Radio over the course of her almost 30 year career.

Mr Bott is a main weather presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live, and was one of the original team behind BBC News 18 when it launched in 1987. Plans to cut the

presenters follow the departure of Carol Kirkwood, the former weather presenter who said the BBC in January after a 2000 season.

In international goodbye to viewers, she said she took the decision because 'I love my husband more than my job.'

Jonathan Meares, interim chief executive of BBC News, said audiences will benefit from the BBC's renewed partnership with the Met office.

In this summer's bestwaves have proved, up-to-the-minute and accurate weather information has never been more important. I'm looking forward to our partnership with the Met Office — this is a very apt time for our two created national toothbrushes to be examined.

Representatives for Mr Schaftemaker, Mr Lear and Mr Bott were approached for comment.

Health service 'dragging feet' on implementing trans guidance

By Neil Johnson

THE NHS has been accused of dragging its feet on single-sex space rules after failing to set a date to implement the new guidance.

Rules that allow transgender patients into a ward of their choosing are still in place despite guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) being more than work that says public spaces should enforce single-sex spaces based on biological sex.

NHS England had promoted to issue new rules shortly but campaigners said their current failure to do so was creating uncertainty.

A revised code of practice from the

EHRC came into force on Wednesday, almost 20 months after a landmark Supreme Court ruling that words equal to law referred to biological sex rather than gender identity.

The ruling means transgender people should use either gender-neutral buffercoms or those intended for their biological sex.

Brilliant Hart-Jones, nurse and president of the Darlington Nursing Centre, one of seven nurses who won damages after taking legal action over a biological male using their female changing room, said the NHS needed to 'stop dragging its heels'.

An NHS spokesman said: 'The NHS will publish approved new guidance for

the health service on single-sex accommodation shortly, in line with other public sector bodies.

'In the meantime, hospitals should be acting within the principles set out in the EHRC code to ensure alignment are cared for with dignity and respect.'

A government spokesman said: 'The EHRC's updated Code of Practice for Services, Public Puts from and Association has now come into force.'

'The Equality Act 2000 is the law and we welcome organisations having clear statutory guidance to help them follow it while protecting and serving the needs of the public.'

'Departments will publish updated guidance very soon.'

Woman, 83, forced to watch as masked men ransack her home

By Tom McArdle

A GADIG of masked men rampaged through an elderly woman's home as she watched help body from her bed.

Three men broke into the 83-year-old's home in Hayes, west London, at 10.30pm on June 29 in she slept.

Footage taken on a Ring camera above the victims bed showed the men satire the woman's room, turning the light on and startling her.

As the woman sat up in bed, a map could be seen winding what appeared to be alright. The robbers could then be seen ramming through her possessions as she sat in her bed. After two minutes, they left with what detectives

believe to be several items of jewellery and around £200 in cash.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said the force was aware of the video and understood the 'concision that incidents like this can cause for those affected and the wider community.'

The spokesman added: 'Officers attended, but the suspects had died the same. Officers spoke with the victim, an 83-year-old woman, four suspect was captured on CCTV carrying a weapon, but no injuries were reported.'

'It is believed that several items of jewellery, as well as about £100 in cash was stolen from the property. No amounts have been made at this stage.'

Anyone with information that may

assist the force has been urged to come forward.

Scotland Yard has reported that neighborhoods come across the capital has 'significantly fallen', but a London School of Economics has yet at more than 2,000 people found that London could not be roughly unsafe in the city.

Around 5,100 luxury waitches, each worth more than £250M, were stolen in the capital between January 2022 and July last year, of which only 50 were recovered. According to Metropolitan Police data.

There were nearly 100,000 thefts or attempted thefts in the capital in 2018, compared with about 40,000 in 2018, according to House Office data.

Black sea gold: Divers recover 162-year-old Guinness from shipwreck

By Ruby Cline

DIVERS who recovered a 82-year-old Guinness bottle from a shipwreck off the coast of those plan to 'reform' the stout.

Bofian Paris, an underwater photographer, and Eddie Bunsey made the discovery last year and hope to capitalize on their fate.

'We lifted the artefact, and then on the surface a quick clear revealed Guinness,' Mr Paris told the BBC.

The divers sent samples from the 1984 bottle to microbiologists at 85 Leaven University in Belgium for analysis.

The scientists are hoping to extract material from the surviving yeast to reveal the heart's characteristics to overcome a fine country's need.

'There is always a chance that we can

recover the complete DNA and then we can do a small lot below all the stout force that was found in the 1980s,' Mr Paris said.

He added that there is a 'possibility' the gun is still dreadable, if a smoker has not stopped through the cock.

There could be a 26 bottle case of the house burned beneath the sand around the wreck, and the engineers hope to make another dive when conditions allow.

Mr Paris said he is 'not that big,' a Guinness fan but said he would try the ancient stout if experts declared this he would be drab.

A spokesman for Diageo, who is now owns the Guinness brand, said: 'The covenios like this provide a fascinating window into our past and help build a deeper understanding about the days.'

'Currently, our Guinness archive

team is leaning with the divers to gather more information and evaluate the deal.'

It comes in Diageo's new boss has vowed to unseat £75mm in Guinness in the hope to solve conditions.

On Thursday, Sir Dave Levin said the beer is seeing surging demand from younger thinkers and women.

The Guinness safety which began to brew beer in 1998, sold some 100,000 barrels annually by the 1980s.

The business with both would have been made in the wake of Britain's pub boom of the 1950s.

The Excellence Act of 1950 focussed booming time in a bid to encourage the consumption of weaker drinks, rather than increasing popular gin.

'Within a decade, 40,000 new pubs had migrated in Britain, at least 20 of them named in honour of William IV.'

'Police only pursued me because I was a 'Tort MP'

Patrick Spencer has been cleared of groping women, but his faith in the justice system has been shaken

By Gordon Kapoor on Covid 19 2019 in

PATRICK SPENCER was expecting to see his local shotgun control officer when he opened the door of his Suffolk home in March last year. The police had placed him a few days before to check if it would be convenient to visit and check his gun cabinets.

At the end, people had three detectives from the Metropolitan Police standing on his driveway instead, but shook their hands and tested them in an answer.

The story about the gun cabinets, a turned-out, appeared to be a case. The detectives proved to show them how were actually there because an allegation of sexual assault had been made against him two years earlier, which they were now investigating.

In that day, they asked the police referring to, and would only be told the details—that two women had accused him of groping them in a private, somehow, with a few more police interviews. To this day he has no recollection of meeting his accounts, and the only independent evidence that he didn't explain, support of CCTV footage in which he briefly paid his arms around them from behind in a busy bus.

It would take treasures that to stand Yard had closed the investigation by December 2020, before reopening it and charging Mr Spencer as safe two years after the complaint was made.

What had caused this extreme voice here? The Met has just it down to some charge. Administration of the case, but Mr Spencer, who was a private citizen at the time of the alleged incident, believes it has everything to do with him becoming an MP in his interviewing period.

A document disclosed to his district team even on behalf of Metropolitan Police document stating that the case was being passed to a special investigation and because of his new status as an MP.

Last month a jury cleared him of any investigation, including he had not mentioned other women at London's Genache Club, where he was spending percentage with friends who were married.

It has been an ordeal that has shaken Mr Spencer's faith in the police, the criminal justice system as a whole, but has strengthened his faith in the jury system and in the British public, particularly from constituents in Central Suffolk and North Ipswich who, he says, have been 'the most sensible, sure and responsible' people of all.

'People told me, 'you're innocent, until proven guilty, you're still my MP and I'm still going to ask you about my bias,' he recalls with pain humor.

It is a true moment of birth to an interview that offends Mr Spencer on the verge of tears. The roll on him and his family has been a heavy on fire one of old guarding oaths, his wife Anna, suddenly the wife of someone charged with a sexual offence. And to resign from her job of 10 years as a primary school teacher in our country, Mr Spencer himself and the Tory whip and was banned from the Parliamentary union from the moment he was charged until the moment he was cleared. Ronn flashes its restored the whip with his the attention of the not

guilty verdicts. The couple are worried that their two sons, aged four and five, will eventually come to learn about the accusations that were brought at their father, and that they could be pinched on as result.

Mr Spencer was cleared at Southwark Green Court in July 17 but only now feels ready to give this, his only interview, about what happened. Anna says she hopes this article will be the 'victory' of what she calls 'the miserable saga,' that they wish they could forget.

We meet in the small market town of Framingham in Suffolk, where Spencer has his constituency office, and which is in far removed as it's possible to be from the celebrity image on its links where he

was named a fan of the 'victory' strategy. By pretty market place is permanently in control with red, white and blue hauling, and by famous caste, where we stop for The Telegraph and reतुमder to take pictures of the Spences, is an imposing fortress where Mary Tudor was pre-clawed (known as 1911).

Mr Spencer, 38, grew up in Suffolk the rest of the Midwater former Tory Party treasurer Lord Michael Spencer and in 2010 married Anna, whom he had been in 10 years through

Patrick Spencer with his wife Anna in Framingham, Suffolk, Dukes, CCTV footage of Mr Spencer in the Genache Club

university friends before finally planning up the courage to ask her out on a date.

This tell me: 'I have known Patrick for 20 years and he absolutely makes the room a laughter place. So in the most wonderful person to be around, my hand, generous, interesting, very intelligent—there's a lot to love about Patrick.'

So she was as she died in he was when the police came knowing at

their home near Woodbridge last year and Mr Spencer asked her to join him in Saturday where the police were on the process of revealing what she described as 'a secret, unbelievable accusation' about her husband.

It was only much later that she was shown to be 'The Forage from the Genache Club, and says her reaction was: 'Is that it?' She came up her recollection of with him the CCTV footage as 'I saw my handwashing his mate and two other women in a bar.' The women claimed that Mr Spencer, who had been studying, touched their breasts when he bugged them, something the jury dismissed, as did Anna.

His says: 'Did I ever think he was capable of it? The answer is simply no. We all have been in the same position as make you feel an unbelievable—as I said to you if I'm one of a generation of women who have walked home with my boy every hand, charged my clothes before I'm opened up the line of being protected on. I did not marry that bloke, and I can hand on hand say that in the U. 10 months of the entire process I've never remotely thought that was in his DNA.'

The jury at Mr Spencer's trial was told that he had apologized for his behaviour when he was interviewed

'People told me 'you're innocent, until proven guilty, and I'm still going to ask you about my bias.'

by police, saying he behaviour was 'not appropriate for this day and age' but he explains that this was not a way as a response that he had done anything wrong.

The police had been doing, irrespective of what it is, you apologize for any unusual miscarriage, because 'It would take someone of an economic level of safe confidence to not want to be apologetic.'

At the time of Mr Spencer's visit to the Gurnah, there is no paper 2018 he was working as director of The John Foundation charity. CCTV footage shows him unsteady on his legs, and the jury was told he was asked to leave the club after the women complained about his behaviour and and he was pointing them.

The women made an online complaint to the police that in December 2020 the case was closed on the home of an open-closing identified in February 2020, and was not identified as the man in the video, but a year went by, during which Mr Spencer was elected to Parliament.

Police do not meet the board to Mr Spencer's office, but to one of them in February 2020 a police officer informed one of them as source that the investigation was made in the taken over by a specialist department based on the suspect possible being an MP.

At a time when the Met and other police forces have been accused of allowing police to come their policing, it is understandable that Mr Spencer believes the status as a Tory MP influenced the police's decisions to respect the case, and the Crown Prosecution Service's decision to authorize charges.

His says: 'We asked numerous times why there was a delay between the complaint and me being informed, and they just said they were under-resourced that the police officer on the case had normal health issues, and no one had followed it up.'

The reality was that this was a relatively historic all time that was not even focused on why, what interview and was not followed up, but in February 2020 someone turned round and said: 'We are MP.'

Community Judy Day, of the Metropolitan Police said: 'We acknowledge that this investigation actually still below the high standards we would expect, and we have apologized to the two women who made reports. Following interview and the police were not informed, it was reviewed in March 2020 and following is showing by a new investigation that's the same as an authorities by the Crown Prosecution Service within three months.

'We conducted a further wider review to understand any steps which were to be taken into the investigation, which is reflected in the Met's new victim control and all officers police. Our priority remains to bring violence against women and girls, so women on London can have full confidence in the Met to investigate reports thoroughly and quickly.'

The Met is identified at had used the Beavens case as a 'case' to visit Mr Spencer, saying: 'When an investigation the report revealed the Beavens licence of Patrick Spencer MP in line with national News' (We's perhaps a real as a government's sponsor under the Beavens Act). The two orders were sent to the Beavens police in the investigation, but aligned with the organisation of a voluntary interview. This is the case of a 'counsel' who, and it would be an ounce to report that this two cases are as real as a case.'

Count on us to hit 3pc defence spending Jerrick tells Vance

By Dominic Penna

MEMBER STAFF REVIEW

ROBERT JERRICK has promised 2B Vance that a former Reform UK government would meet and eventually exceed Britain's 3 per cent defence spending target.

Mr Jerrick, Reform's Treasury spokesman, met the UK vice president for the 2B Security. The 2B security stock share discussed issues including his plan to spend more on the military from 2B to 3pc.

After the meeting, Mr Jerrick told The Telegraph: 'It was great to see the vice president again. He's got a deep affection for the United Kingdom, and I'm sure that the 2B security stock share had all of our country.'

'We discussed defence spending, and I confirmed that a Reform govern-

ment would meet the 3 per cent target by 2020 and secondly, reaching 3 per cent by 2020. I not sure that we had already identified a 4K that of savings to fund it, primarily through reduction in welfare spending, and that we would be doing more in the months to come.'

The UK has promised the best-selling that it will spend 13 per cent of GDP on defence by 2018, in addition to an extra 12 per cent of 2018 security spending.

However, Andy Bursham, the Prime Minister, has on 10 July 2018 commit to spending 7 per cent on defence by 2030, despite the White House urging Britain to increase its military budget.

Under Japan set out by Sir Keny Marano, Mr Bursham's predecessor, the defence budget will reach 2.9 per cent of GDP in 2017 but only increases to 2.06 per cent by the rest of the decade.

Mr Bursham took power last month,

viewing to spend more on defence, but has refused to set out a timetable for reaching 2 per cent, instead only pledging to reach the 2018 target.

Military reports have summed 3 per cent must be reached by 2020 because Russia will probably have the ability to attack a flaky country by then.

John Healey, now Mr Bursham's Chancellor, quit as Sir Ken's defence secretary in June ever, his decision to commit to the target. Wes Streeting, Mr Healey's successor, has indicated that he would regain if Mr Bursham did not spend 3 per cent by 2020.

Yesterday marked the second time that Mr Jerrick had met Mr Vance, who invited him to his Covenelink summer holiday retreat in August last year.

Mr Jerrick was still a Tory MP at the time, and was serving as double-reinder secretary before he defected to Reform.

Primary schools to identify pupils at risk of becoming unemployed

By Genevieve Bidi Allen

REVIEW OF THE CHILDREN'S

PRIMARY schools will be forced to predict which children are most at risk of unemployment when they leave school at 8c.

Allen Milburn, the former Labour health secretary linked with reviewing Britain's world courses crisis, said the school's primary child would not be falling out of the labour market were under 'from pre-school'.

Before the publication in an interview, his report into young people not in education, employment or training (5wrt), of which there are more than one million, he told The Guardian: 'The school's right are there from the early, early age. Definitely primary schools should be identifying children who are at risk of being New, Second'

ary schools and other services should be interrupting, intervening, supporting and helping those young people to get on a different path.'

Mr Milburn cited poverty, mental support being put over as 'caregiver factors' that increase a 1R/4% risk of becoming a New. However, he added 'What we don't do is take that knowledge and hand into action.'

Andy Bursham, the Prime Minister has declared he is on a mission to curb the number of children young adults, and has decided plans for more technical education course for children at an earlier stage.

Mr Milburn said that welfare reform would play a key role in his 'black market' and that it is a young person reaching the benefit system was a failure in education, skills and health policies. He said: 'We've got to

further keep opportunities for young people, we've got to make it easier for them to get the right to help them.' The report, which is opportunities of course, there has got to be some allegation.

Mr Bursham, the former Labour Secretary, Samuel Lord Govt's education reform for the New crisis and hinted that she would lose many of them up. Writing in The Times, she said she would not have to be able to take her an 'extending our children' and if we are enjoying it for 2018, she has already

been able to take her an 'extending' that one in seven News had a successful degree, and that the youth worldwomen cross was coming Britain nearly 4K/2% a year. Business leaders have been able to take her an 'extending' and the former reported that rank and a series of government regulations, which made it difficult to have younger workers.

Reform demands inquiry into £10,000 given to Streeting

By Genevieve Bidi Allen and Tony Hove

WE SPIRIT 1950 must be investigated over donations be received from a 2000 total listed to cover the world's most notorious foundress, Reform UK has said.

He has shown, the party is chairman, has written to Daniel Greenberg, the parliamentary commissioner for standards, over £27,000 given to Mr Streeting in 2022, and 2023 for about for the Long Term (LLT).

Mr Anderson has asked Mr Greenberg to look into whether Mr Streeting, now the Endless Secretary, failed to comply with Commons registration

rules over the money, after a Telegraph investigation revealed it was linked to Sam Eastman's friend, the Anglican's cryptocurrency billionaire.

He has also asked the National Commission to investigate 'the permanent city and size source' of the donations to the 1.4dper minister. But one month before LLT made a final donation, its founder, David Lawrence, accepted a £900,000 gift from Eastman-Point.

The Telegraph revealed that the donations to Mr Streeting were made despite the difficulties of the leading somewhat figures in Labour about the source of the funds.

Eastman-Point's income, as the 'Crypto King' and founder of ITK, a

crypto currency on hange, was piled for 25 years in 2018 for the last after stealing about 500s (£41,984) from customers.

MPs cannot accept money from foreign citizens, but a loophole allows some repeated associations such as think-basis to accept more without publicly declaring the source. This means they can prevent MPs from accepting the

MPs Streeting from operating over donations

needs to demand foreign donations to politicians. The Electoral Commission has called for the loophole to be closed, and Labour plans to introduce new activities.

A spokesman for Mr Streeting said that he had never had any contact with Eastman-Point, and his name was never mentioned in the comments with LLT. Mr Street had been asked LLT for a last 4 months before accepting the

minor. Mr Lawrence was on this list, but Eastman-Point was not.

Mr Greenberg was investigating Nigel Forage, the Reform leader, over a £6m gift from Christopher Harbourn, who was said he defame from cryptocurrency and lives in Thailand.

Mr Forage is a report of failing to decide the gift when he became an MP. He denies any wrongdoing. The overall claims was suspended when he reigned and triggered by elections in Taiwan. Under the code of conduct he is the decision to be made to provide the name and address of a donor, even if the donation was received indirectly, as well as the necessary arguments.

Mr Anderson claims that the 'extraordinary' chronology of the LLT donations raises questions about whether Mr Streeting benefited from money from Eastman-Point.

NHS said the risks of cousins having children 'exaggerated'

Official training told staff it was comparable to women being pregnant when older, being obese or a smoker

By Michael Beartles ZHEYNE MILLER BUREAU

THE NHS taught midwives that the health risks of cousins having children together were 'exaggerated'. The Telegraph can disclose.

Official co-turning modules used to train staff throughout the ranks of consanguinity when relatives conceive a child together. They said the health risks of having a child with a cousin were comparable to women having children when older, being a smoker, being obese or being underpinseless.

The online lessons for NHS staff, including midwives, nurses, GPs and genetic counsellors, also told them the practice of consanguinity had been 'stigmatized' and 'the level of increased risk had often been exaggerated'.

A sign the risks had been 'sensitive' about by politicians and media' and that attempts to discourage or ban the practice were 'disappropriate, alienating and ineffective'.

Marching a first cousin relayed in the UK, he is in a room for risk of children inheriting genetic conditions. Health issues such as sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis are more likely to be carried or contracted in children with patients who are closely related.

Cultures that encourage first cousin marriage have also been accused of expressing women and using it as cited to suppress prenatal freedoms.

Three of the five staff trained modules, first published in October 2022, were organized in other cities a back-hall against the NHS and even already claiming that cousins marriage had 'beautiful' emerged. While the training modules were produced by NHS England, they were available for use by NHS staff across the UK.

Not directing the former health secretary, and the 'nferno should never have been published' and the NHS should have apologised.

But those claims were reported throughout the new-deleted training materials, which were released to the Telegraph under the name of information laws, including one session titled 'Benefits of marrying within the family'. Staff were also taught that it is

'important to put the increased risk associated with close relative marriage in perspective'.

'These85 persons factors that increase the risk of a child being born with a congenital anomaly, and of a neonatal death, such as social deprivation, maternal smoking, maternal obesity, maternal age,' the documents read.

'They added it was 'useful to reflect on the risks associated with other patterns of childbearing' and that 'the case of older maternal age at childbirth is a useful comparator.'

The NHS materials said that the increased risk of a genetic disorder became of close relative marriage was 'of a similar magnitude to that associated with later age at childbearing through the type of condition described'.

'They also said the practice was most common in, but not limited to, groups who identify as British Feminists or Feminists, and that those were typically arranged marriages, but that 'does not imply they were forced'. 'Fah920 women in cousin marriages have been found to comparable mortality to those in non-relative marriages on a range of indicators of social and financial well-being,' the authors claimed.

'While those cousins have been removed, two others are still online, including advice for midwives on how to breach the topic of cousin marriage and issues whether people need to be referred to genomic services for more help. Midwives are advised to be sensitive when asking questions such as 'Is there any possibility you could be related?' and 'Do you have any older relatives in common?'

The advice reads: 'It is important to explain that being related does not only refer to first cousins, but other more distant relationships should also be mentioned,' adding that other reasons for an urgent referral include a family history of genetic conditions and the loss of previous pregnancies or babies.

An NHS spokesman said that when the comparison between consanguinity and maternal age obesity, and deprivation 'reflected the academic evidence', those training materials had been removed and were no longer in use.

The spokesman added: 'The evidence is clear that having closely related parents can increase the risk of inheriting certain genetic conditions, and the NHS is fully committed to ensuring that more families can access the information and support they need.'

Squat-style toilets 'preferred by foreigners' put in by Labour council

By Ruby Cluse

SQUAT-STYLE toilets have been installed by a Labour council issue as often being popular with foreign tourists.

The three squatting toilets are 'preferred by some international visitors', according to Cambridge city council, which opened the facilities on Tuesday.

The toilets on Silver Street, opposite between 1950 or of the University of Cambridge, cost £2m to build after the previous 1980s block kept flooding.

New residents have criticised the 'vamp' of the fire using the toilet block.

'Involve toilet, we told our kids: 'I certainly think if I'm going to spend £1, I'm not going to squat as well. That is about the fire we've done.'

Mrs Bred, from 1964, a village just outside the city, added: 'I found it after they built just a normal set of toilets and charged nothing, than one really did it one and charged a pound.' The entry

The new squat-style toilets in Cambridge cost £2 for people to use

charge funds the cleaning, maintenance and staffing of the facilities, and will 'discourage minnow' of the toilets, the council said.

Ralph Thornburrow, the Labour council leader, said other authorities charged between ship and £1 for facilities. Other public toilet facilities are

available five to other parts of the city, she noted. But the closest alternative facilities appear to be about a £6 minute walk away in a shopping centre in another part of the city room.

Squat toilets are considered by some to be more linguistic because users do not come into skin contact with a seat. They are common in China and India, and are also often used in public facilities in France, Italy and Greece.

Cambridge web-cases move than eight million visitors each year, some 222000's day - many of whom seek out the Mediterranean Bridge, a wooden landscape next to the revamped facilities. The areas narrows streets face congestion difficulties as tourists move out of the city centre.

Cambridge council has pushed for several councils of tourist friends and residential revamps - but has faced concerns that its facilities are being pushed to breaking point.

Fears over new bio-weapons as scientists create viruses with AI

By Benedict Smith WASHINGTON COMMISSIONER

SUNSTHERS have used artificial intelligence to create AI synthetic viruses for the first time, providing fears the technology could be used to create bio-weapons.

Researchers trained five, an AI model, to write new genetic instructions to create viruses that can infect bacteria and multiply at a faster carbon instead ones.

Although the pathogens were unable to infect because of animals, scientists warned it was possible to create viruses that could do so.

The five programme is similar to other AI models such as ChatGPT. While ChatGPT analyses and produces test responses, a mean best used है even study and form genetic code instead.

The Stanford University team, based in Palo Alto, California, picked the most

promising of the AI model's proposed genetic codes and chemically synthesized them as a lab. Of the nearly 300 sets of genetic instructions it presented, it was considered viable.

The researchers found the viruses they had created were more effective in killing it, not than the natural one.

'It is a standard where we are confronted with the vast expanses of biological possibility.'

It's bad used in its template.

Prof Marc Gault, of the synthetic biology lab at Square Pampers Fifties University, said the study was a 'very significant turning point' because it 'allows us to dream of exciting possibilities for tackling humanity's greatest challenges.' For the 'first time in

history, we are beginning to design biology on a computer,' he told the BBC.

Adrian Woolburn, of DNA synthesis company former, said the development was biology's 'Wright brothers' moment, referring to the aviation process who built and flew the world's first aeroplane.

'It is a moment where we stop looking over our shoulders at the entities that evolution has created and are confronted with the vast expanses of biological possibility,' he told the FT.

But the Centre for Health Security at Johns Hopkins University warned that the technology caused 'superintenseity and biosecurity questions'.

It was no longer an issue of 'whether quantitative (cost) generate (design) will exist' but whether it could be used without 'reaching serious harm' it said.

Jesus may love you, but we don't... driver denied insurance over religious stickers

By Tom McArdle

A JHUVIS has been denied an insurance for over 30 years. 'Jesus loves you' stickers on his own.

Simeon Chandra was told his insurer had 'decised the modification and settled in the private evidence that they had been removed.'

Reasons show the 10-year-olds 2019-present, 'the first time in 'Jesus loves you' no one safe, and 'Jesus loves you a man's' on the other.

But after sending his insurer, Goldigge, partners of the modification firm, he was warned the policy would be worked unless they were removed.

Mr Chandra is now working with a licensee that is not included when to decide whether to take legal action.

Inveriting Society 'she died, surprised and upset' when he was told to take the stickers off, he claimed his opinion he refused to pay, and the person who was not sure to be involved.

'The message on my car is very simple: Jesus loves you. It is not always political, hateful or commercial. It is a message of hope.'

'I could not understand why the would mean I could not have car insurance. We see all kinds of messages, flags and slogans in public life. But when a Christian puts a peaceful message on his own car, suddenly it appears to become a problem.'

'I want answers from Goldigge as they have not responded to my emails.'

'I want to be able to put the stickers back on and for other Christians to know they can do this without being ashamed. If they insist on banning these stickers, then all other stickers on one should also be banned.'

Goldigge did not provide a reason for this decision.

In written correspondence, it stated 'Feedback from the Underwriting Department declared the modification done on the vehicle as per stickers.

Simeon Chandra was asked for a 'dinner that can, right, stop and live' from the wasteful insured.

'A sticker saying 'Jesus loves you' is not comparable to a political campaign or offensive slogan'

asked on the vehicle. For the policy to continue and be assured we require the stickers to be removed from the vehicle and watch a direct photograph once the stickers have been removed.

Mr Chandra, who became a Christian, when he was a university, was asked to classify it before being a real law, but no one was a Christian missionaries.

But father was asked a Hindu-bodied concerning to Christianity, while his mother converted after experiencing healing in an injured leg at a church service.

Andrew Williams, of the Christian Legal Centre, said 'This is not about a vehicle modification. It is about whether Christians are free to oppose their rights in public without being included from essential services. A sticker saying 'Jesus loves you' is not comparable to a commercial advert, political campaign or offensive slogan.' The Telegraph approached Goldigge for comment.

'Medium-risk' rapist freed to kill two women

Met police deemed 'predatory monster' to be less dangerous as he had been blinded in one eye

By Will Robins (news column manager)

A SIX offender murdered two women months after police lowered his risk level because of his poor eyesight. The Telegraph was erred.

Simon Levy has been found guilty of killing Carmena Valencia Trujillo in March 2020 and murdering Sheryl William the month later. The 40-year-old man has been convicted of attacking a woman and causing her for dead in January 2020, in the same car park where Ms William body was found. He will be sentenced on Aug 12.

Levy was jailed in 2018 for assaulting two women, but was released in August 2020. The Telegraph has learned that the police lowered his risk level to the public when he was released, as was months before the first murder.

His risk level was downgraded after he was blinded in his right eye in May 2024. He was attacked after allegedly raping a woman.

After his conviction, the Metropolitan Police described Levy as a 'predatory monster' and said his officers were among the 'most harrowing in recent times'.

To stand hard, the British Transport Police (BTP) and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have apologized for their handling of the profile rapist and the 'collective system failure' that allowed him to continue offending.

Levy's first-known sexual assault took place in 2018, when he groped a woman at a reggae party in London. He attended another woman at Botting Hill, named an amish-cin commision.

He was arrested and jailed for three years in 2020 over the assaults.

But at HMP Boston in April 2020, Levy was accused of grabbing a female prison officer's bottom as she walked past. He wanted charged.

Despite the allegation, he was released past two through his sentence in February 2020, shortly after being freed, he groped a woman on the London Underground. He reported the assault that day, but Levy was not identified and even later.

The police did not attend to the police in 2018, when he groped a woman at a reggae party in London. He attended another woman at Botting Hill, named an amish-cin commision.

However, it is understood that the Met downgraded his risk level to medium because of his poor eyesight. Officers conclude that his loss of mass group would have 'less likely to afford due to his disability'.

He was ordered every three months, but has been forced to move charged, despite him later becoming a suspect in a murder investigation and several sexual assaults.

His re-offending escalated rapidly after he was released from jail. One barrister later said he had a 'compulsive and pathological desire to attack women'.

Levy, who was dark glasses through out his five week trial, began to target young women - most of whom were in their only 20s - on rank from committee trains.

In October 2020, he attacked two women and was arrested by RTP before being hailed. An identity panel was due to take place in December that year, but it was declared and Levy's bail extended until April 2020.

In January 2020, Levy launched an attack on a sex worker in Baroque. He refused to pay her, knocked her to the floor and raped her twice, breaking her clavicle and suffocating her until she lost consciousness.

Giving evidence during the trial, she said she believed she was going to do. She reported the incident to police four days later, but did not wish to assist with the investigation because she was with drawing from her mind for time.

At 3:45, the police of the violence assaulted the Levy on the Underground attended the delayed identity panel and picked him out as her attacker. However, he was not charged until May. On the evening of Mar 27, the body of Ms Valencia Trujillo, 55, was found in a block of flats on the Adisbary Estate in

Simon Levy, top and above, will be sentenced on Aug 12. He was asked to claim if his partial blindness meant he was unable to have been guilty.

Walworth, south London, the last numerous injuries, including bruises in her neck. Levy's blood was discovered nearby.

The mother of two had lived in the capital for nearly 50 years after moving from her native Columbia, the had struggled with a crack cocaine addiction and occasionally undertook sex work to support her habit.

Levy, who was unemployed and lived in Switzerland with his mother, was able to travel across London using an Oyster card that was not registered to him. RTP let him keep the card after he was arrested over the October tube assaults.

Ten days after Ms Valencia Trujillo's killing on Mar 27, Levy groped another woman at Feron Sisters Underground station and was reported to police. The following day, the registered sex offender was taken for his home address for an assessment. Levy, plating up his right issues, said he rarely went outside and spent his days watching films and YouTube videos.

He was arrested on Apr 1 over Ms Valencia Trujillo's death, but a

post-mortem failed to determine a cause of death, and he was released under investigation.

After learning he was a potential murderer, RTP delayed arresting Levy so that could carry out a 'risk assessment' of a strenuous murder. Their officers would be in danger if they deemed him.

Despite Levy having shown that he was in quality of control that his sexual anger, his bail was not ended again, this time until May 5. In this time, he groped a woman on the Victoria line, assaulted another on the Northern line and actually assaulted two others.

RTP offenders arrested Levy at his home on Bradley Road on Mar 1. He denied the charges and, in a prepared statement, said 'I must be underthat I am partially blind and as such is possible for me to make contact with someone immediately if trying to destroy my assault'.

He was charged with the counts of sexual assault and appeared at Highway major near court they later. It is understood that RTP were aware that

Levy was a suspect in a murder investigation at this time, informing the CPS that his 'predatory' offending had escalated. Despite this, the CPS did not oppose bail. The only significant condition imposed was that he could not use the Underground at rank hour.

But less than four weeks later, on Mar 28, Levy was back on the tube, fusing the evening rank hour, he attacked a young woman, who threw her dead at him before reporting the incident.

Levy was due to appeal at Inner London Crown Court on June 7 in connection with the assaults, but he failed to appeal after claiming he was ill. No warrant for his arrest was issued.

He was arrested again at his home on June 29 for breach of bail after he assaulted two more women on the tube. He appeared at Highway major at the court the next day, pleading as guilty. He was again jailed off at the time of action, the CPS did oppose bail, but the court was not told about the ongoing murder investigation.

He failed to attend court on Aug 11, claiming he had mental health prob-

'Two people lost their lives at the hands of a predatory monster... there's got to be serious reflection'

toms. Again, the judge was not told about the ongoing murder investigation and no warrant was sought for his arrest.

By this point, a year after he was released from prison, Levy had assaulted 10 women on the tube, was the suspect in a rape case, had raped and assaulted a sex worker, then raped and murdered another woman. He had been interviewed three times.

On Aug 24, Levy was sent on Tottenham High Road, CCTV caught him at second midnight meeting Ms William. They were seen walking towards nearby car park, an hour later, Levy emerged alone. The next morning, police officers on patrol found Ms William body. Levy was identified as the man in the valve 20 days later using facial recognition technology. On Sept 6, he was charged with Ms William body, who was charged with the counts of rape, grievous bodily harm, non-fatal investigation and intentional suffocation in connection with the attack on the sex worker in Harlequin.

The months later, he was finally charged with killing Ms Valencia Trujillo. It can be reported that after the trial, Levy was found guilty and sentenced to six years in trial for attacking it women on the Underground.

The Independent Office for Police Control (IOM) is investigating two Met officers, a police constable and a detective sergeant, for potential misconduct in relation to their management of Levy's case.

Dept And Commissioner Kevin Southworth, of Scotland Yard, has issued an uncovered apology to the victims' families.

He said: 'Levy's was by any measure an incredibly dangerous offender and while there were multiple investigations, ultimately the collective system failure and that from court left him free to go on and offend in the most harrowing manner imaginable.' Two people have lost their lives, and other victims have suffered serious sexual offences at the hands of a prolific predatory monster, obviously there's got to be a point of action as reflection for all of us.

He urged anyone who may have been sexually assaulted by Levy to come forward.

Lisa Ramasena for the CPS said: 'Our actions fell short of the standards that victims, families and the public are entitled to expect.'

Ajax vehicles break down after coming out of storage

Problem-hit armoured transporters stopped working after months out of action in military depot

By Tom Cotterill DEFENCE EDITOR

THE Army's troubled Ajax armoured vehicles "broke down" after finally coming out of storage. The Telegraph can reveal

Several of the reconnaissance transporters stopped working after spending months in a military depot.

They had been taken out of service after 10 soldiers were left feeling unwell having ridden in 23 Ajax during the Titan Storm drill, with some reportedly stumbling from their vehicles vomiting and unable to stand.

During a trial aimed at returning the vehicles to action, engineers realized they had developed more problems and pushed them back in to be fined.

The news is the latest problem to hit the 45.3bn programme, with ministers having suspended the use of Ajax following a disastrous Salisbury Plain war game last November.

The botched exercise prompted three separate safety investigations into the flood of 43.6m vehicles and was a major embarrassment for the military. Ministers "continually" allowed acceptance trials to resume at the end of April.

However, a source with knowledge of last months tests told The Telegraph: "Vehicles were breaking down all the time."

"The commanding officer of 2nd Division was told by a captain that a number of Ajax vehicles were unsuitable for operation. He apparently just shrugged his shoulders and said, 'Do the best you can with them.'"

The Army has insisted the issue was minor and resolved rapidly. The problems did not derail the trials, which involved six vehicles, and were unrelated to the previous issue and white-

tion problems that have plagued the Ajax fleet.

An Army source said: "All the minor issues were related to vehicles having not been used since December. They had been sitting in storage for eight months. It's like 45 year car wanting in storage for months - issues can occur."

"They were fined incredibly quickly," Trish resumed the next day.

Ajax was the biggest single order for a UK armoured vehicle in more than 20 years and will replace the Army's ageing fleet of 6m-4wd reconnaissance vehicles, which entered service in 1971.

The Ministry of Defence expects to have 100 vehicles, of six variants, by 2018. They will become the backbone of the Army's armoured and deep reconnaissance at the brigades for the next 20 years.

The multimillion-pound vehicles,

built by the 135.8m General Dynamics at its Welsh factory in Morthy Tydfil, were meant to be in service in 2017, but the project has been delayed by almost a decade because of the noise and vibration problems.

About 30 soldiers have needed hearing assessments, with 27 reportedly undergoing treatment for hearing loss after Ajax trials.

November's Titan Storm Race came weeks after Lake Pollard, a defunct minister, showcased the Ajax fleet and declared the vehicles safe. Mr Pollard was forced to pause the programme and later earlier was "disgusted" to hear about the detacle.

In April, following the three safety investigations, he announced that the programme would proceed "continually" with a limited number of vehicles remaining trials under closely

monitored tests. The minister said an investigation found "a combination of factors" was likely to have caused the symptoms reported by soldiers, including technical issues, variability in training and importance, exposure to the cold and air quality in the Ajax.

Mr Pollard accepted the situation had "not been good enough" and insisted "strict new controls" had been introduced for the reintroduction of Ajax.

However, it is unclear how long tests will last and when all the Ajax vehicles will be ready for operation.

Mark Francis, the shadow Armed Forces minister, told The Telegraph: "For months, we have been arguing the McG must either fix Ajax or fail it - and from the sound of these reports, it still hasn't been done."

"Even now, ministers refuse to name a date when Ajax will enter operational

General Dynamics Land Systems UK said a "romano-committed" to supporting the Army in the delivery and fielding of Ajax and insisted the latest trials were a success.

A spokesman added: "The successful completion of the recent British Army trials marks an important step in reviving confidence in the platform in the programme continues to progress."

An McG spokesman said: "These minor mechanical issues were quickly identified and fined, and the trials were completed successfully as planned. As with any modern, complex armoured vehicle, maintenance and repair issues are sometimes required."

Willoughby show blocked on YouTube in copyright mix-up

By Ricky Chua

THE first episode of Daily Willoughby's YouTube show was blocked after it was flagged for potential copyright infringement.

Yowery's could not watch Daily Willoughby Together, in which the former TV presenter coached with Stanley Yates, for second an hour on Thursday after it was flagged for potential's unleashing ITV's copyright.

Willoughby claimed that show had work with a US music episode in which she cooked company parts with Yates.

But just two days later, when users tried to click on the episode, its YouTube page displayed: "Video unavailable. It was blocked due to the claimed content by ITV yet."

But ITV did not make a copyright claim, it was understood.

The broadcast had played promotional footage from Willoughby's show earlier in this week, which YouTube then flagged when the same footage was reported in the actual show.

ITV addressed the error when it was made aware of the copyright claim and the video is now available to watch.

There have been three episodes of the biweekly series since Willoughby coached with Yates, including a discussion with comedian Katherine Ryan about parenting and comic writer Joanne McNally teaching her how to find her "parent ratio".

A spokesman for ITV said: "This was a technical error that arose after dead Morning Britons played promotional clips from the together show as part of a positive review in the new series. It was involved quickly and steps have been taken to avoid this happening again."

YouTube and Willoughby have been contacted for comment.

King granted Lowe company Royal Warrant

Expert calls for its removal after Restore leader refuses to say whether the moment is a white Briton

By Ricky Crabtree, Review

REPORT: REVIEW: REVIEW: RE

REPORT: LOWE'S family company holds a Royal Warrant, despite the leader of Rotten Tomatoes during to say that the King is a white Briton.

The Great Turmouth MP is a director of Lowe & Oliver, an electrical contractor, who is King Charles appointed as a Royal Warrant Holder earlier this year.

But what about the moment's ethnicity on Thursday, the Great Turmouth MP, especially, declined to confirm that the following day was the chandelier at white British.

Lowe & Oliver states on its website that holding a Royal Warrant is "covered" adding that the company "is extremely proud to be entitled to display the words 'its appointment to His Majesty the King. What better recent description could have been'".

Despite this endorsement, Mr Lowe thus week and there were sufficient interpretations of whether the King is a white Briton - prompting one royal

commentator to say that the Restore leader's company should have its Royal Warrant removed.

Richard Fitzwilliam, a royal expert, said: "Nothing is my Warrant and my privilege. If given a chance, I've been responsibility and a belief which they can display and be proud of."

"It is legal to think it is necessary to make comments about the King that are quite so ridiculous. I think the company's warrant should definitely be removed if the King is being unaided at that war and the palace may look to do that."

Royal Warrants are granted as a mark of recognition to companies with filters, regularly supplied goods or services to the Royal Household.

Lowe & Oliver was awarded a Royal Warrant by Elizabeth II in 1993 and was appointed as a holder again by the King in 2002, owing to what it described as the "exceptional service and craftsmanship the company has provided to the Royal Household."

The company was co-founded by Mr Lowe's grandfather and has since reword buildings including Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and the Victoria & Albert Museum. Mr Lowe is the majesty shareholder in its parent company, Lowe Holdings.

There are no specials rules that prevent a warrant holder from criticizing

Best of British? Celebrated figures who fall Lowe's white Briton test

Report: Lowe's relevant work whether the King is a white Briton has prompted questions over who, is his view, would fall into that category.

"The leader of Restore Britain, has previously claimed that white Britons will be in a minority by 2003, citing a report that defines them as people whose parents were both born in the UK."

When asked about the issue on Thursday, he said there were different interpretations of how to define it, white Briton. Here, an initial name of them:

Winston Churchill, 1.5 years old, Mr Lowe has described his wartime leader as 'the greatest Briton to own' too, but, hence, Jimmie Churchill's mother, was a US socialite and the daughter of New York-Stanford Liverpool-James.

Harry Kane, 1.5 years old, Author The England's captain grew upon Clingfield, until London, However, his father, Patrick Kane, was known as Galway, Ireland.

or embarrassing the Royal Family. However, the royal household can cancel a warrant at any time.

Right & Right, Elizabeth II's kingess, daughter, had its warrant withdrawn as a legal basis to support her. It was a kingess owner shared details about her Britain's levels.

The first time in the 1970s, the work when he was asked about a report which, it was claimed, defined white Britons as those whose parents were both born in the UK. The report was by John Goodwin, a senior research fellow at the University of Buckingham and Belknap's condition in the Carlton and Bostwick varieties.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Today show on Thursday, Nick Robinson told Mr Lowe that Prime Philip, the King's father, was born on the levels ahead of Corfu. He saw "no" comment that, in the Boltonhood sacrilective report, King Charles is not a white Briton! Do you think he is a white Briton?

Mr Lowe said: "Well, many people have different interpretations of that." A Restore spokesman said: "The degree of a life-people copyright against Rupert Lowe continues, even dragging his family business into it which has put covenants into years in the electrical and mechanical contracting manner since a industry."

Restore's racist cheerleaders can no longer hide their despicable extremism

Allister Heath

ITINERALLY spend my time pointing with the far left, not zero fanatics, so called, critic of the crisis and Islamists. But over the past couple of days, I've taken it upon myself to all that day, and I have no group of extremists on the outer fringes of the British Right-wire-theaters to deal with the need for the conservative restoration that this country (and the West) is despicable needs.

I don't relish sitting through the wrongs that measure them their social needs - but if you are sure to see them when I'm an equal opportunity - appeared of all members of the Open Society and Western Society.

These ingredients could be left in the business as a closed-door, determined by blood. It is impossible for anyone to choose British, even if I've spent perfect English, content our customs, love this country, sometimes suffered, and have acquired something. Only those few whom Britain is their ancestral homeland, who can trace their lineage to those should be acting as antibody on remember the Normans are probably OK, can be classified as white British, and only the white British can be truly British. When they speak of the British country, they can see the white British component.

The drop-of-its implications in that move are not artificial - love, European, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs as well as mixed race families - cannot be truly British, regardless of how well integrated they are. This amounts to a real extent it is not naturalistic, the idea that a nation is defined by shared

political principles, values, customs, language, loyalty and legal citizenship, in favour of a purely ethnic and genetic conception of Britishness. There can be no British-brown, no assimilation, just an ever-worsening nightmare.

Such activists, in other words, are racists' foothills, disgusting racists. It is to describe these kinds of attitudes that the word was invented.

They are not merely white nationalists, but specifically white British identitarians, obsessed with genetic background. They are the kind of people who wouldn't have been uncomfortable with the Wavenberg race laws and apartheid South Africa's Population Repatriation Act. They are the Right to sit on initiative, interested far East-wide-rheonism with racially defined identity.

Most of a similarly pathetic cult of victimhood, infused with nihilism, they missive terms such as 'pseudo-lik' to describe the decline in what they consider to be the proportion of real British people on our islands. At the other, we concerned, white British people have been robbed of agency-ordination and incidence are only problems of they affect ethnic minorities. The whole Right to even worse than the wide talk.

The implications of the takeover ideology is that the proportion of non-white British people must be pushed down, the clock turned back, perhaps to the 1970s or so on - other arbitrally, and the exactly this would be achieved they usually do not specify, though they account the 'millions of people' for which they do not always mean merely deporting illegal immigrants or legal immigrants who refuse to work. Ethnic cleansing, how we come, is a properly mature. One is being good, and one is that racialist worldly is that the world is

Lowe cannot bring himself to say that the King is white British. Charles Iversen, Restore's campaign director, has profiled anti-feminist tropes. When Nigel Ezequy posted that he couldn't be bought, Iversen responded with an image showing him in front of signs for the Reform Jewish Alliance. He didn't add any words, but the implications was self-evident.

Iversen has previously said that 'Restore Britain believes that Britain is a people defined by subgroups British, an essay and Christian faith'.

My column earlier this week made it clear that I suggest having not illegal immigrants, holding farewell to legal immigrants who refuse to integrate, are stuck on hundreds of levels the law, and even, under certain circumstances, stripping criminal or terrorism offend citizenship. I said that it is legitimate to worry about the scale of demographic change, the challenge of absorbing large numbers of Muslim migrants, and to fear a clash of civilization.

My views are extremely robust on this subject - as are those of the contemporary Cracers who said Britain parties, and other mainstream, non-racial, democratic Right-wing parties across the world.

Yet Iversen called me 'a traitor to the British people, an agent of the anti-white establishment, you will be remembered as among those conspired in the destruction of Britain, and your free technics will be obtained to bring your name.'

Russia could attack Nato in weeks, US warns

Washington says Putin could be planning a land incursion or cyberattack to test alliance's resolve

By Joe Barnes and Emily Smith

RUSSIA could attack a Nato country within weeks to test the alliance's resolve. 15 intelligence has warned.

US officials believe Russia might attempt to sustain rumours by mounting a small land incursion or launching cyberattacks across eastern Europe and raise from their amounts to 2020, the World News Journal reported.

The report marks a significant shift in US intelligence assessments from its previous stance that Vladimir Putin would not attack while still caught up in his war in Ukraine.

Last month, The Telegraph reported that European and US intelligence has picked up on Russian considerations for an armed persecution on Polish soil, or missile or drone attacks against critical militarists from or false flag attacks attempting to blame Ukraine.

Moscow was assessed for the planning these or options to escalate tensions amongst Nato allies and driver them from continuing to support Ryn about off the war's fifth anniversary.

Reports of a possible persecution come after a Russian missile landed in Poland last week and an explosive drone was found at Leipzig airport in Germany on Wednesday. The drone's target was followed to be a Ukrainian get carrying weapons.

For months, the leaders of Poland and the Baltic states have spoken of the mounting threat posed by Russia in Nato's eastern flank. The Lithuanian

During and courageous' Report has driven stops Sentec drone

A German airport seeker kicked an explosive drone out of the air, generating a potentially catastrophic attack. The bus driver at Leipzig/Paris Airport saw the drone flying low close to a Ukrainian cargo plane to defend his back back carrying weapons. The drone was pushed with Sentec but failed

to explode as the Japanese was bombed off. The airport plays a key role in the transportation of military goods, including for Nato allies, and serves as a base for Antaresight, Dufail fuel, a German MP, said. "The bus driver's action was very daring and courageous, but also very dangerous. It's possible that his

intervention prevented the international attack." The incident shut the airport and triggered crisis meeting with German intelligence chiefs. A second DVL cargo plane also collided with an unidentified drone shortly after take-off from the airport. A landslide Hanover with minor damage. A counter-terrorism

investigation was launched after the incident, which Alexander Debreck, Germany's interior exterior said showed a "new level of threat". He said "All of us should be able to an armament approach. We are talking about a professional hybrid threat scenario that we will continue to address." Emily Smith

defence minister warned on Thursday that the Republic was planning to use Ukrainian made drones to attack the Baltic. Roberto Encana and Moscow could use the "blue flag" attack in an attempt to divide Europe and weaken support for Ukraine.

Later on Thursday, Wes Streeting, the Defence Secretary warned that reported Russian persecution against the US will not be "dip of the toilever".

Mr Streeting was referring to the Russian warship Westminkites, which carried on a three-for-exercise in the English Channel last month.

He said the four "incidents like the shooting in the Channel are performance, irresponsible and designed to protect the Russian land provide the British with a viable manifestation of the persecution we see from Russia every day."

15 intelligence has quickly been warning Poland and the three Baltic

states that Putin is prepared to target Nato while still fighting in Ukraine.

The American assessment changed earlier this year. US officials said, as the Russian president finds himself under increasing pressure, and he said he is secure a survey over Ryn and the West.

The possible Russian cargo from a cyberattack or sending unexplored groups to escape territory in a limited incursion to the alliance's native land. While the likelihood of the latter is limited by one's reports, say the risk becomes higher in the previous.

A ground-cound has previously been considered highly unlikely and would be able to develop its battle-Communal defence classes, which makes an attack on one member in an attack on them all.

Col Martin O'Donnell, a Nato spokesman, said the alliance was "confined over and behind an armoury". Adding it was "preparing for any number of scenarios".

Aviator couple evacuate sick polar worker in -43C mission

By Emily Smith

A MARRIED couple flew into -43C temperatures to rescue an American who had followed an interview.

Pilots Louise and Rod Robertson, along with two other Australian pilots, travelled about 12,000 miles from Tasmania to evacuate an expeditious worker from a 13-year-old mission to New Island.

Mrs Robertson said it was the first sick rescue mission to take place during the dark-antarctic winter.

She told the BBC: "We completed it on July 31, and the first day of any sort of sunlight, which was very minimal, would be an impetus."

She said her husband had landed the plane in one of the most complex operations she had experienced in her 25 years as a pilot.

The pair put down the Airline ASN, housed as Snowbird 1, in "extremely challenging conditions" at the US mission location to carry gunfire evacuation.

They flew to Christchurch, New Zealand.

"The ground crew did a phenomenal job to make a 3km-long runway available for us given the conditions"

land, where the patient was successfully treated.

Motivation, an Australian airline, had received the evacuation request from the US Antarctic Program via the Australian Antarctic Division.

It took 24 hours to prepare the plane, and take off was delayed for a further 12 hours for some of a movement.

Mrs Robertson said: "We had quite a narrow time frame that we could actually fly down to Antarctica, to somewhere was a snowstorm on the first day we were intending to go down, which stopped the operation."

The snow initially prevented the ill expedition, resulted in colleagues at the station from reaching the landing site on from Island.

Mrs Robertson said the ground crew "did a phenomenal job to make a 3km-long runway available for us given the conditions they were facing."

At Wallach, another pilot on the mission, said the operation reflected the team's skills, adding: "Every Antarctic mission demands absolute precision, but winter operations raise the complexity again early."

Iran plots to block US and Israeli shipping from Strait of Hormuz

By Sophia Van

SENIOR FOREIGN COUNSELY-SIGNET

IRAN is considering honoring US and Israeli ships from the Strait of Hormuz in a new (likely to apply) Israeli Treaty.

Under a draft plan being reviewed by Iran's parliament, United Israel flagged vessels, or "other hostile states or entities linked to them" would be blocked from the waterway.

The proposal, reported by Iranian

state media Press™, would threaten to deactivate between Iran and Oman to reopen the strait.

The US president claimed this week that a deal to restore the strait, one's conduct for one-fifth of the world's oil, could be agreed within days.

Alloya Salimi, a member of the parliament's presiding board, said: "It would also prohibit the entry and end of military or warships, as well as vessels involved in espionage, spying or a time-

deemed contrary to Iran's national security."

In addition, or new military cargo destined for or departing from Israel and various Palestinian territories would also be blocked, according to state media.

It would also give Iran power to block vessels that'd deem "problematic" for whatever reason by claiming it is a threat to its national security.

Proposals floated at recent days have

largely appeared to settle on an arrangement that would allow Iran to maintain leverage over the strategic waterway.

Various potential iterations have circulated, with more recent proposals seeing vessels enter Hormuz on an Iran-controlled route, and ending an Oman-controlled route. Oman is located on the other side, directly opposite Iran, along the strait.

A striking point has been the issue of whether Iran would collect any free-

which Mr Trump has repeatedly said would not be acceptable.

Despite that, Iran and Oman are in discussion to divide voluntary "service free" pacific shipping firms, which are essentially a full demand up as costs to cover services rendered or to mitigate environmental degradation.

This, too, was in the proposal that Mr Salimi discussed on Iranian state media. "The full further reimages Iran collecting free for navigation, supervision,

management and security services, with priority and/or payments in the Iranian national currency," according to Mr Salimi's remarks on Press™.

"Until such compensation is made, they would not be granted permission to transit the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf."

Finally, Iran could also be assessed up to 20 per cent of the value of the cargo carried and the vessel involved - for those violating the rules.

For all the drama of the Spanish border rush, it was weeks in the making

Social media posts and videos triggered migration flashpoint as Moroccans swarmed into Costa

By Mariana Hallai, Rachel Matthews and Beth Farmer

All the end of last month, more than 70,000 people ranged over the border from Moroccan to Spain in less than 48 hours.

The sounds of young men and even families swam and clashed over the frontier, overwhelming the Spanish culture of Costa. Bounds de-tested or were involved in the attempt. The speed and scale of the movement triggered a political earthquake across the EU, widening stiks in the debate on migration and free-time of movement.

To the all the sudden drama of the border rush, it was an event that was weeks in the making. The Telegraph has made on hundreds of videos and social media posters press together what - or who - triggered this migration flashpoint.

Costa, an Moroccan northern coast, lae only 19 miles from mainland Spain and is one of the only two European cities sharing a land border with Africa. It has been part of Spanish territory since the 16th century. For Madrid's rule is consistently Moroccan, which is two the territory as occupied land. Here, we parted by a 1000 high security force, a where - two centimetres more.

The city has long been a target for desperate young Moroccans seeking what they believe is a better life in Spain and Europe.

Even before last week, Costa had been many times usual this year. Until July 24, around 3,000 people

had crossed the land border between Moroccans and Spain in 2020, according to the Spanish know office. That's 100 per cent more than the same period last year, and the highest number may even end August in 2017.

Then, a Spanish supreme court ruling came in each July that limited the immediate return of migrants who reached Costa by sea. Those arriving by that route could no longer be fast reached back, and had to go through their legal processes.

Moroccans officials say they knew immediately this would cause problems of the border. 'The message became just clean, and you will be protected,' one said.

The ruling was quickly halted on social media and widely sangled, with hundreds of videos shared telling Moroccans it was new sales and some to get into Costa.

Europe was suddenly within reach.

'People show you the routes. You don't need a smuggler to find basic information anymore'

Those encouraged to try to cross the border could find plentiful practical advice online.

'If you want to know how to reach Costa, TikTok has every thing,' Hallai, one of those who broke into Costa last week, said. It was his seventh attempt. He added the wasstaged between unemployment, limited opportunities and the hope of a better life across the Mediterranean.

'People show you the routes, where to start walking, what time to leave, what to avoid, and even how to deal with the police. You don't need a smuggler to find basic information anymore.'

Much of the content was tagged with a minimum of 'Barrage', a North African term used to describe under-smoothed migrants. In Arabic, it refers to learning identity documents but has become slang used more. Notably by people trying to reach

Europe, by mid-July, videos on how to make the trip were spending quickly. Migrants preparing to start the journey or those who had already done it shared their expertise on online, encouraging others to follow.

In production for Costa, they started to share feelings of the route, this migrant, who claimed to have made the journey, posted a video with text overlaid calling the trip 'Riosis', with the couple leaning at a western Spain.

Others shared footage once they had reached Costa and some posted videos sharing their focus on a effort, making the journey. A TikTok video was shared with a label that it contains to 'Occupied Costa'. This was followed by one that means 'May God make it easy', a common experience making good luck or sure, offers used in the context of migration attempts.

The movement was not reached Facebook, the most used social media platform in Morocco. Running groups dedicated to sharing information about getting to Costa going to life, sharing practical information about where to swim, what to bring and how to train.

Some 20 Facebook groups related to the mass crossing attracted more than one million users in total, Spanish researchers have found.

These groups were by two information sharing: doctors, weather forecasts, and coast guard vessel tracking were up and down.

Three on Wednesday, July 24, King Mohammed VI of Morocco goes his Throne Day speech to mark the 27th anniversary of his accession.

The next day was a public holiday.

Moroccan migrants arrive on the beach at Costa after their raids, amid a litter of rubber rings and discarded footwear

meaning people had the perfect, uninterrupted window to travel north without school or work commitments.

On top of that, it happened to be a buggy dur with warm sea temperatures perfect conditions for swimming without being detected. People travelled from across the country to reach finding the closest town to the Spanish border, so they could make the journey.

What they are doing they sent back clips to humans. Sounds and relatives that they were alive. These spread one day to the same day.

Some people began to congregate around the border waiting for a chance to try their luck. A 20-year-old Moroccans called Hallai said he had wiped for days as friends overlooking the Moroccans coastline, dodging police patrols.

Hundreds were soon arriving at the borderline, climbing onto the rocks to make their way into Costa.

With so many migrants entering at once, Moroccan authorities were overwhelmed, some were captured on video on the sea doing little to stop the movement of people.

Spanish intelligence service later concluded that Morocco did not plan the mass crossing, but allowed it to happen. Before it became out of control, Moroccan intelligence sources told the Telegraph they believe Morocco may have been using the chaos to capture high级域名 with Spain over common with its total, Algeria, Morocco domestic.

The Moroccans have described how police and Moroccan military officials pointed migrants in the direction of Spain and actively encouraged them. However, there has not been any specific video visitors to back this up. There was chaos and panic in the water, said Hallai, who made a break for it on Friday morning.

'There were so many people. They grabbed, uncrashed, they became many trouble stories,' he said.

Two people who sat out with him doomed during the crossing, and he said he witnessed another fire or six people the man that describes.

As the end of Friday, there were antiquated in beckon to 'Gallo' new arrivals in Costa, which only has a population of around 44,000.

Yet after taking their lives, their dreams of Europe were endanger. Spanish authorities provided no food, no water, and the shops were closed. They had no way to stand enough across the Mediterranean. Much in limits, many specific began to return.

Miles of disinformation Social media offers birth and tips while encouraging migrants to try their luck

A Spanish supreme court ruling is early July limited the immediate return of migrants who reached Costa by sea. Those arriving by that route could no longer be fast reached back, and had to go through their legal processes. Social media says they who were online, telling Moroccans it was sales and some to get into Costa.

An anonymous Facebook user shared a map, planning an alternative route to Costa. Users commented that a high military presence made the route into a informative about respect but weather conditions, and also shared, and users also appeared to monitor sounds in the area, on the lookout by marine patrols.

Information about the weather was also shared. This user asked to come help interpreting the forecast. 'What is the difference between the green and the blue?' he stated. 'The colours are related to the wind,' a user replied. On the day, fog with warm sea temperatures made perfect conditions for swimming without being detected.

Gang employed 'ghost speedboats' to smuggle migrants into Ibiza

By Nick Squires KORE COMMUNICATION

SPANSHI police have dismantled one of the biggest smuggling networks in the Mediterranean, among high-powered speedboats that transported migrants from the coast of Algeria to the Spanish mainland and the holiday island of Ibiza.

Europe and 70 people were arrested in Spain and Algeria, including four of the largest leaders of the network, and 19 powerful speedboats, which were together worth more than €100. £6. 5m, were saved.

The criminal network ran a hugely profitable operation in which it smuggled migrants to Spain and Italy, on the return journey, transport and weapons andល្បน and his money to the North African coast.

It used 'extremely violent' methods to prevent its brain and to subdue and intimidate migrants, according to the

Spanish police and the Guards Civil. The smuggling network used physical violence, threats and coercion not only against migrants but also against its own in return to maintain discipline in a highly organized criminal operation.

The gang used 'ghost speedboats', known as such because they were designed to avoid registration and detection, in contravention of Europeanism.

No of the arrests were made in Ibiza and 1000 Fides in Nigeria, the capital of Nigeria. Most of the people arrested were of Algerian origin.

Police and the gang were used out at least 64 migrant smuggling operations in which more than 2,000 people were brought to Spain.

They used a relatively new route from Algeria to the east coast of Spain and the Balears Islands, which include Nigeria, Morocco, Ibiza and Eurasia.

It has emerged in recent years as an

Police searched IT properties on the Spanish coast to dismantle the gang

alternative to the traditionally more popular migrant route from northeast Africa to the Canary Islands.

Police searched IT properties on the Spanish coast, including in Alicante,

Marina and Almería. They found 10,000 ecstasy tablets, more than 400g of hashish, a 36-calibre swollen, a replica submachine gun, various types of ammunition, satellite phones, GPS

devices and encrypted communication tools.

Migrants were charged up to €12,000 (head for the crossing, with the gang taking profits of at least €1%).

During some of the crossings, speedboats were crammed with as many as 10 migrants.

The journeys were highly dangerous because the migrants were easily given situations.

They travelled 'crammed together, at high speed, on rough seas', the police said.

'On some occasions, passengers were evenying to prevent them from falling into the water during the journey,' he been asked.

Before crossing the Mediterranean, migrants were targeted over crowded and unnecessarily swallowed in malevoluit housing along the Algerian coast.

The government had links with criminals in Marseille and the so-called 'soccer traffic', a drug-cured former by Moroc-

can immigrants living in Belgium and the Netherlands.

The investigators was carried out in collaboration with police in France. Further information was made as such Europe, the EU Agency for Law Enforcement Corporation.

The smuggling operation was highly sophisticated, according to Europe.

'The network has trained as a professional logistics provider for multiple criminal groups. Its members arranged storage, transport, recording, machine transfers, vessel maintenance, and country identification services,' the police said.

Investigators discovered that the network, controlled an entire fleet of vessels, including so-called 'ghost speedboats', which are formed in Spain due to their height and motor power. These types of speedboats are frequently used by organized crime groups, especially drug traffickers, to transport illegal goods.'

Mexico military steps in to save avocados

Troops protect industry from cartel violence as US halts imports of fruit over security concerns

By Max Stephens INTERNATIONAL CHINA COMMISSIONARY

MEXICO has deployed more than a thousand troops to protect its 42,384 avocado industry from being decimated by cartel violence after the US halted imports of the fruit over security issues. About 1,000 soldiers are being stationed across the unhurtful state of Michoacán to protect agricultural workers who provide the US with two-thirds of its entire avocado supply.

On Wednesday, the US embassy in Mexico announced that all of the nation's activities in Michoacán were suspended because of a "liberal against American interests", including the work of agricultural inspectors who judge whether avocados are fit for export.

Alfredo Kaninos Roddía, the state's governor, said the temporary halt was a

pre-emptive measure to protect inspectors. Mexico's defence ministry is hearing for a wave of attacks after arresting one of Michoacán's most high-profile cartel leaders on Sunday.

Alfonso Fernández Magallón, the 87-year-old head of the Los Reyes Cartel, also known as "El Puente", had been arrested by Mexican special forces for dishonor. The US Treasury had previously announced a film revised for El Puente's capture.

In retaliation, the cartel mounted roadblocks across six major highways and reached total 6.6 in the towns of Los Reyes and Podinas.

The Los Reyes Cartel was designated a terrorist organization last February and is expected of enforcing avocado and lime growers, as well as trafficking, foxtamil, cocaine and methamphetamine into the US.

Cartel members threaten growers and their families with threats of death or kidnapping to extract crippling some of money.

Los Reyes has frequently checked with rival groups over the past decade, including Los Viagras, a cartel affiliated with Mexico's most powerful crime

group the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. Like its rival, Los Viagras is suspected of entering avocado and citrus growers, cattle ranchers, and entire towns to generate revenue.

In one instance, the group even established internet networks and ordered a music quality to pay for its upkeep on pairs of both.

Government officials are no better protected. Carlos Manzo, the former mayor of the city of Urugua and a vocal critic of cartels outusing farmers, was shot seven times at a day of the Dead ceremony last November. His assassination triggered mass protests.

Antonio Cruz, the state security secretary of Michoacán, confirmed the influx of troops to safeguard avocado inspectors was directly tied to El Puente's detention. Ronald Johnson, the US ambassador to Mexico, said "criminals have nowhere to take".

He credited the headline stances of US president Donald Trump and Claudia Hendriksen, Mexico's president.

It is the third time the US government has been forced to keep its inspectors out of Mexico's biggest avocado-producing state.

'Bibi's brain' on US mission to quell Gaza row

By Henry Bodkin In Avocation

BENJAMIN NEYANYARU has dispatched his top first to Washington as an effort to avoid a diplomatic crisis with Donald Trump about the future of Gaza.

Ron Dermer, known in Israel as "Bibi's brain", has flown to the US to placate American officials who are "fuerzas" at Mr Netanyahu's defiant response to Mr Trump's new deal for the Gaza Strip.

Mr Dermer, a Florida-born former Israeli ambassador to Washington, previously served as Mr Netanyahu's strategic officer minister.

He played a key role in the Gaza hostage negotiations leading up to the deal last October and stopped down from the role in November.

Last week, Mr Trump announced a "historic" breakthrough in talks between his Board of Frace and Hemos.

The terror group agreed to principle to a weapons decommissioning process in return for the withdrawal of the Israel Defense Forces 2019 from Gaza.

The agreement left the precise details to be founded on:

However, it was assumed to mean Hemos handling weapons over to a Palestinian force and moving them in the Strip, in exchange for a staged withdrawal by the Israelis.

The framework adopts a Northern Ireland-style decommissioning process, omitting the word "disarmament" which allows the terror groups to look undeluded

to its supporters. But Mr Netanyahu who promised total victory over Hemos during the two-year war that ended last year, has come out against the deal.

Israel claims it was not consulted before Mr Trump announced the move. But US officials have pushed back, saying an Israeli delegation was present in El Adamson, the site of the talks, during the final inspection.

Israel's news outlet filantrix reported yesterday that US officials were "fuerzas" at Mr Netanyahu's response, although Mr Trump is yet to criticise his ally publicly over the issue.

Mr Netanyahu is caught between the White House

"No one understands or works with the Americans better than Dermer"

Moon has a new crater following SpaceX crash

THE first images of the crater that was created when Elon Musk's "SpaceX" rocket crashed into the Moon have been released.

Prior to the crash, scientists had said the spacecraft would hit with the power of three tons of TNT, leaving a new crater on the lunar surface.

They said the rocket was captured to hit the Moon at 5,400 mph - seven times the speed of sound.

The rocket was meant to be visible from Earth, but American photographic's watching through telescopes could not see any signs of the crash, which was understood to be a small flash.

Nana's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter was also in position to photograph the

crash and is expected to release its own images.

No part of the Falcon 9 rocket, launched in January last year as part of a mission to put two lunar landers on the Moon, was intended to collide with the Moon.

Now, with Dr Arday having resigned as a professor in the wake of The Telegraph's reporting, the institution finally seems to be engaging in some self-reflection and has launched a review into the process for hiring senior academics. Rather than just focusing on this one instance, this saga should mark a turning point in the university's culture as a whole.

At the time of Dr Arday's appointment, Cambridge was keen to hire more black and minority professors. Given the huge holes that have been uncovered in his CT, it is hardly surprising that many are asking whether normal standards were abandoned in order to give him a role.

It is striking that senior ethnic minority academics at Cambridge have joined the chorus of voice in calling for an independent inquiry. The appointment is framing as a diversity here, they say, had "the potential to destroy the modest progress Cambridge has made in addressing historic situation-representation". One of the criticisms of so-called positive discrimination is that it is patronising to ethnic minorities and can end up undermining the achievements of people who have secured their positions through merit.

So Cambridge needs to explain how this appointment is made, and confirm that it is still an institution devoted to academic excellence rather than fixated on achieving diversity targets. Were standards dropped in order to boost the representation of particular groups? Did the university practise the optics of approaching a young black man with autism over its duty to maintain academic excellence?

How will Cambridge ensure this never happens again? It is perfectly right for Cambridge to examine whether there are barriers in the way of particular groups succeeding at the institution, whether as students or members of the faculty. Universities should be encouraging diversity of thought. But attempting to engineer an equality of outcomes is bound to end badly, particularly if it is built on lower standards for favoured groups. Nobody wins if Cambridge loses its reputation as an elite institution committed to academic rigour.

The same is true, incidentally, in other areas of national life, particularly the public sector, which has seemed to be even more enthusiastic about the drive for increased diversity. Rather this year it emerged that the Treasury had removed a numeracy test for candidates for its graduate scheme to boost diversity. Perhaps it achieved that goal, but at what cost?

Charity extremism

Labour is not afraid of being tough on charities when the circumstances end the party. Let your, the Government dealt a vindictive blow to independent schools by escaping their mandatory business rate relief, which remains available to all other charities. Is it prepared to take similarly robust action against charitable organisations found to be promoting extremism?

The FBI has claimed that a British Muslim charity, the Al-Khar Foundation, has been used to bankroll Hamas, the terrorist group responsible for the horrendous attack on Israel on October 7 2023. The charity has received at least

£9m in taxpayers' cash in Gift Aid since 2021. The Met is running a wider investigation into potential terrorism funding allegations while the Charity Commission has opened a statutory inquiry. The Al-Khar Foundation has sought to distance itself from its "global directors". Mohammad Yosel Hasan, the man the FBI alleges is responsible.

These allegations raise inevitable questions about why the charity was not investigated sooner, and how much of British donors' money might have been funnelled to Hamas. But there is a wider raise than any single charity. In recent months, there have been multiple warnings that British charities have been used to promote extremism and anti-bombism, and several have been alleged to have links with the Iranian regime.

What is the Government going to do to ensure that British organisations are not giving aid to our enemies?

Finch without tears

We humans learn the sounds of speech rather as a chatty bird called the Bongaloor finch batten to sing and the humpback whale learns the noises whales enjoy. Or so say a group of scientists - some based at Edinburgh and others at St Andrews. The birds follow a law devised by George Zipf, a 1938-country American linguist; has who found that words used often tend to be short. The birds like complicated song, but long at on frequently sung short syllables of song. None of this means we share finches' interests in grain and nests or that they'd ever want to sing about the national debt or Fift's future. Perhaps that's why their song sounds cheerful.

LETTERS to the EDITOR

Britain can't afford to keep taking its farmers for granted

The book of the English and French are the most important books of the English and French. While there is a strong argument for such energy as a way to achieve self-sufficiency, solar panels should be placed on industrial settings or very marginal land sites, and what developments concentrate offshore. Meanwhile, the idea that in order to compensate for the loss of production furniture, we should simply buy our food from overseas industries, given the present factors affecting food security, conflict and climate (Letters, August 7).

Parts of the world will soon be unable to give temporary crops, although the last two summers in Britain have been set aside, we have a chance that to conduct foreign and group of farmers. Why would we want to be forbidden to overseas producers who came their price and, in many cases, fall well short of the high-quality food control rules and at this country? We already import the too much.

The Sustainable Farming Incentives to J.W. excuses that merely attempts to paper over the cruelties at industry in general by our center governments, approved by supermarkets and taken for granted by the public. At least price is found. Science defies even in marginal annual payments.

It's time for Britain to decide whether to make an increase in J.W. nothing else, that would provide some clarity for the next generation, preparing with the best interests in the future to increase in the quality of food. MacDonough, Wilshire

The 1996, closed out par tty a 1st, fertiliser £10.4 a ton and electricity up a unit. I was willing what for £100 a ton. Now, about cost one £5 a litre, fertilizer £10.5 a ton and electricity 2% a ton. In fact, it would be £100 a ton. That's before any fixed costs, a tractor might cost £250,000, and a combine has costs £250,000. Even without taking this year's

dreadful into account, it makes no sense at all. William Kimbridge Treasury, Germany

The early 1998 century, many countries had an age-affirmative horticultural college. As a visit to Devon last year, I was sorry to see this one. I attended to study food technology in the 1970s looking run down. Others have closed.

We need more of these colleges. Penny Scott Staton, Cheshire

The idea that the National Trust and RHP manage landscapes according to "political ideology" (fremising Europe) for Suffolk wildfire" report, August 5 is wrong.

One decision are guided by evidence and science. We practise nature restoration over routine burning because healthier, wester landscape are more resilient to wildfire.

Not so are "reducing to manage vegetation" in Danwich Heath and Mainsaw, we reduce the risk through various means, including cutting firebrands, removing dead weather and maintaining wetlands. Indeed, the curves described the wetland of Mainsaw as a "natural firebrand" that helped protect them off.

In the past years, the cause of uproot any type of landscape, whether parks, forests or private places. They are a consequence of the extreme conditions we are now experiencing. As our climate changes, difficult choices about land management will be unavoidable. These choices should be directed at science, not culture, and care.

The Arday scandal exposes the creeping decay of Britain's great universities

I suspect the former professor's lack of qualifications and intellectual ability was, in the eyes of the selectors, a qualification in itself

NEW WORLD telegraph.co.uk/ qitnews

Jason Arday resigned on Wednesday in Professor of the Sociology of Education at Cambridge. In youngest-ever black professor, he stood accused of multiple plagiarism, misappropriating other people's interviews and making up parts of his life story. When this sweeping crusade that a book to which he had last launched not been written, he finally went. Here is a short extract from a book which re-professor Arday did write, or at least which appeared under his name. It is called 'and Britannia and Multi-Billion-Britain Discretion' (the 'Theopagan experience. The sentence that follows indicates the character of the whole - 'The case-famed glasses of an era which embraced the blinding populist mundane, contrastingly, could not provide shelter or refuge from the ever-present darkening shadow of pernicious and insidious racism that had been mildly and consistently blighted British society.') Readers may clearly see Arday's overall theme, that Britain is racist and there is little the fact. They may also see that he cannot write English, of course even-timed glasses cannot provide shelter against darkening shadows. The whole book in the same - no new, research-based evidence, cannot form rather than development of an idea, and must find a repetitive prose. It includes 'unworthy apogity' which means writing about your experience - sorry, 'lived experience' - of being black (or other ethnicity). An interesting subject, but not an academic discipline. In Dr. Arday's hands, it is not interesting. If only that great untrue, if not just a good opinion, it is not interesting. If only that great untrue, if not just a good opinion, it is not interesting. If only that great untrue, if not just a good opinion, it is not interesting. If only that great untrue, if not just a good opinion, it is not interesting. If only that great untrue, if not just a good opinion, it is not interesting. If only that great untrue, if not just a good opinion, it is not interesting.

than week he would surely have contested on Dr. Arday one of his favourite epithesis - 'black as mine'. In fairness to Dr. Arday, however, he does have a powerful imagination. He has said, at various times and with varying consistency, that he helped install water points in Africa and South America and saved 25 km for charity including by running 50 marathons in 30 days. During one of these, he had an epileptic fit and fractured his leg, but still an nine more. He had a recurrent brain tumor, a neurotoxic and testicular cancer. His memory delivered a second pig's head to his home and his pulse found the bunches who had told a whole pig that morning through both poles and bunches downstairs. He used to play football semi-professionally to rethrough his named no-frills. He even took part in the television documentary, News Up, some rating the fact that it featured only been born in 1957 and Dr. Arday was born in 1994. 'Incredible' people exclaim. 'I know for yourself whether you mean that word in its loose sense of 'amazing', or in its exact meaning of 'such to be believed'.' The Board of Directors to the Cambridge chair from which Dr. Arday has just resigned were supposed to scrutinise his work before selecting him. Candidates submit up to 20 pages of their published material for inspection. Could a board of Cambridge, one of the five or so greatest universities in the world, produce or change 50 more Nobel Prize than the whole of France, Jemne of Newton and Darwin, Reynes and Wilmington, have thought that

Arday's small, underlinguished body of ground work deserved. In itself, a professorship? And why did they give it him without, apparently, checking his CV or possible plagiarism? These, more than the behaviour of Dr. Arday himself, are the questions which an inquiry should answer. How life's answer to it? qualified in formal academic terms and actual intellectual ability gain such a position. (Think it will emerge that Dr. Arday's lack of usual qualifications was, in the eyes of the selectors, a qualification in itself. If you believe in race and class quotas, and that university 'vibrant' and intellectual access are holding working-class ethnic minorities back, then you are hungry to appoint a wide-rural, safe-varied, young, black man with long-dreaded and a general conformity to 'decolonising' decisions.) If, as he says, he is unfair, was speechless until he was it and could an event or write until he was it, that's even better. And if white people object that the man has not little, specific, poorly and writes worse, will them, 'check your privilege' and to doubt their enthusiasm. Powerful people have invested in Dr. Arday. When a journalist emailed for facts about his research from him, he contracted the police to complain about the financial mental health. The police collected the journalist's cry off. When allegations appeared in print, he could somehow afford to hire Carter Rock, the most expensive and aggressive lawyer in the field. A movement has started to shame critics for asking questions. Prof. Simon Raven Cohen (who, as the cousin of

Powerful people have invested in him. A movement has started to shame critics from asking questions

'Alright' should surely have had a better understanding of the situation, invested to say that, as an expert on nature, he knows that one in four nature's people have attempted suicide. Therefore criticisms - 'the situation is bullying of an autistic man and raises safeguarding issues'. The chairman of the professional selectors was Rachael Dally Morgan, a former Labour minister, the former Master of Fitzwilliam College but is not an academic. Dr. Hilary Creman, who is to meet Dr. Arday on film when he arrived at her faculty, told him he was the 'best in the world in terms of the research you do' like to Professor of Education. Focusing on peace and conflict and author of a book called Rebuilding Education, this appointment must be a welcome process to be addressed here among others. 'We learned to this vote so of our black colleagues and students,' 'You can see, as they can, where she is coming from.' With his professorship, Dr. Arday got a fellowship at Jesus College I have followed activities at Jesus since I has retired that for China Centre was funded by money sanctioned by the Chinese Communist Party, and pumped out 30. Daging propaganda, refusing a platform to fall in force. In Maine, Joanna Alleyne, also someone without an academic background, defended this propaganda. Just on about Black Lives Matter, she led her college into the community of courts to remove from its chapel a beautiful 17th century series of art. A franchise because, she said, he had made money out of the slave trade actually, he had 25, the lost, costing the college a

six figure sum, as Master, Ms. Alleyne also tried, unnecessarily, to improve diversity by appointing Fellows without appropriate academic qualifications. Ms. Alleyne is an ardent defender of Dr. Arday, signing an open letter against 'sustained and malicious' attack in his time, as the work progressed, however, she removed from the letter first her job title since she should not have signed on behalf of the college and then her name. Earlier, Jesus College had been tied its own review of Dr. Arday's conduct. As soon as he resigned, it was quietly dropped. There is a temporary bear market in Arday shares. Now we must be imminent memoirs, Great and Unforbearable Things. In what must be a first for a professor's unbelievably, it has a 'co-author' in a letter sent by his agent to the publisher, the book was described as 'an over-ranging tale of near in-flight people' and 'it would seem wise to omit the 'war'. Dr. Arday told The Guardian that he was paid £5.6m for this book. If, for once, he were accurate, you would think his full-flaw work would cause the publisher to lose the lot. But then again, perhaps not. The people using this bewildered and bewildering man to advance their ideology may yet succeed in promoting the public that he is a natural author. If they do, they will succeed in destroying the concepts of research, improving the some of universal knowledge and property, educating the young. Then the academic freedom upon which a university's reputation depends will wither away

Way of the World Michael Deacon

A time-traveller from 30 years to 40 would be astounded by the way today's 90th entry on. In particular, I suspect, Samantha Nidett since 2016, Miss Nidett had seen the Labour MP for South Derbyshire. And to date, she seems to have spent much of her time in Westminster hanging on about one. Of course, given that her name sounds like a line of dialogue from a Carry On Him, perhaps this obsession is actually quite fitting, all the more, her constituents and have been somewhat taken about when, in April this year, she urged the nation to enjoy a 'summer of sex'. And they must have been even more startled when, to help promote this urgent campaign, she called on Parliament to host an exhibition of fifties. Imagine what our time-traveller would make of that. You never got this sort of thing with Geoffrey Howe. Even the cut out of women's imagination never subjected the nation to 'Key

Battenders's Top 10 Sex Tips' or 'Position of the Pre-English with Edward Brady'. Quite why Miss Nidett thinks it's the responsibility of MPH to improve their constituents on lives, I don't know. In my experience, most voters just want their time—all—to what their taxes cut. Until here's what her constituency surgeries must be like. 'Phased to meet you, Mrs. Brady. Now, what can I let the you? Five to five to 200,000?' I wrote a similar way to please your man at 1-10. 'Thank you, Miss Nidett. I totally just want to talk about Britanism.' 'Well, I don't think I've heard of that one before. How do you do it?' This week, however, we learnt that there's one type of sex Miss Nidett just too keen on. Biological

sex, Became, on Instagram, she posted the most bizarre video, during which she voiced her fury that trans women - to biological males - are now being barred from female less-anti-bunging rooms. What made this video so sound-boggling, though, was not the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was the absurdity of her argument. It was

put on an over so slightly more dignified outfit. Which brings on back to my point about how dramatic ally politics has changed as recent decades. If, for example, Margaret Thatcher had abruptly decided to break off from a debate to address the nation, I doubt she's been done it while floating on an inflatable bin in a lothian. 'The problem with sex taken is that you eventually run out of other people's own cream...' 'Well, I don't want to sound too harsh. It can point during her video, Miss Nidett's thunderstilted future generations would look back on 2020 and think 'how ridicule politicians were.' So at least she got one thing right. Like the rest of the nation, I was sorry to hear that I mean Arday. I have resigned as Prof. Lazaruste, vice president of Amazon and I agree on Europe's Slyder Cup team. Business has it that he also plans to hand back

all seven of his knighthoods, but at the time of going to press this remains my理解. Thankfully, though, there is some good news. Dr. Mark Bowles, the head of the 90th system I take, has accepted that his force should not have investigated a negative for trying to find out the truth about Mr. Arday. Jack Green, who writes for Times Higher Education, said in office had told him to stop asking Mr. Arday questions, because it was 'offering his mental health'. That offer is demand did not just represent a chilling threat to press freedom. It was also very poorly thought through, after all, if the police have decided that it's unacceptable to ask someone, awkward questions, their own job will become high outing trouble. Because a suspect could make the same demand of them. 'As the letter, officers, stop asking me all those upsetting questions about the

bank robbery I carried out last night. It's affecting my mental health.' 'Tortilla's sorry, as I have except our hundred apologies, sir. We won't do it again, sir.' 'I actually ally well think not. Don't you know how distressing it is, to be reminded of the dreadful crimes I've committed? and how do you think my poor family would feel, if they were to find out what it did? Now let me go, before I make a serious complaint to your superiors.' To be clear, obviously I'm not in any way liberating Jesus Arday to a bank robber, or either if any other type of criminal. Of course not. That would be an outrageous approach to cast against a three-time winner of the Nobel Prize Prize. My pride is simply that the police should be in investigating people for asking questions. Otherwise, every time they investigate a crime, their own colleagues will have to investigate them.

POPPY COBURN

The rise of the far Left in America is a warning sign to Burnham

The News

Social democracy is lifeless. If the political winds blowing in the US read a here, Labour's triumph over the Greens will only be temporary.

If I look like a blackd summer to be a content of dark, fairly Burnham, a warning himself on a beach somewhere, it also revelling a wave of popularity. And when your long, pulling a tall back from narrowed by Labour. And the Government's more vulnerable dark think against to have absorbed my one recent political discussion flourishing yet your soul, the honest thing more. Dark Prakash took over. Burnhams' first major, the final foet—'the Manhood is strayed by election—saw Labour funds 10 points ahead of the Greens in first preference votes.

Burnham has moved quickly to pacify the left with sentinels swish and gimmick. The president's calling to Donald Trump in his first broadcast interview at 10:45 in the 2007. The पार्टी won'la' socialist Diane Abbott had the whip restored. Calling humanitarian suffering to Jane 'a year' now, the government's first major, the British's first fielded out of Burnham as he waved to take control of North America's power out to a new day, wealthier, a measure-much beloved by the head of celebrity Lefftain from Gary Gardner to Gary Stevenson, and influential Left-wing positioner such as a "sister of man" and a few Tupper. But it is a little closer. The Burnham's team is trained at King Trev years ago, and the government's team with 10 per cent of the votes. Now even the noisy spectacle of some 100 can only muster a quarter of votes. The public response to Labour is still to make, and there seems little possibility of a "insidable" in a future election.

Burnham, like his predecessor, is a strong leader, but of managing the economy that breaks away from our anti-spoof to Burnham. The movement has changed, the message remains the same.

Labour has not moved off the local annihilation, but merely postponed if Burnham will soon become a Burnham. But the new economy left in the old instrument of social democracy. There is only one path formed, and it goes on to move on to a shotgun, like a propelled the Labour Party into power in 2016—we're left, and sharply.

Something alarming is happening across the panel. If we assume that US will be a good, it is not so on a few years or so time delay, there is good way to to believe that the hard Left has finally found its electoral moment. Socialism in America rarely achieves much through convention and built in box politics. Twice in the past decade Bernie Sandon, named Left popular boys with a meager title at the Democratic nomination, only to be crushed by that

same party's establishment. Yet this year a new life. Public affairs, unabated for a table, craming hands—only campaigns, are waiting power.

Lefftain figures mentioned both the Democratic Socialists of America, as winning almost everywhere. The Democratic establishment—the same people who "signed" the selection process to the top Hillary Clinton, now handles a decade ago—has been created. And this week, a progressive named Abdullah Street handed the aspirant, their most painful defeat of the year in the Michigan senatorial primary.

It is impossible to imagine a man like 10 report winning just a few years ago. It is a prompt Muslim who advocates "spoofing 10.5 million" to convince to Israel, Serbia, South Sudan and Egypt. It seems to have 500 per cent renewable energy in the state by 2030, however, control and have border control, owning in-depth immigration and Canadian places cannot.

There are always going to be a few radical issues who win at the time of any time. Now look, but 10 report won't win a primary there. He won in Michigan, the swing state that went for Trump in 2016.

The strongest argument contains, but was, its validity. But stability failed hands-on 10.5 to take whip campaign, the line of a second Trump presidency allowed social primary here to choose to secure the support of a majority of delegates. Like Burnham, it does not pitch to the electorate as an oral case reform first most of the time in 2000, it didn't matter that Elisha had no break since.

Refusing in little meant "credibility": the ability for others to prefer whatever they wanted can him if it could stop what they saw as a fascist takeover of the presidency.

But a few years it worked, until it didn't. Annika Slater was another empty unit candidate, and she lost miserably to an eightieth radical Trump.

The flight embraced my populist turn and was cowards life: it with the presidency. Who is to say the same couldn't be done? The Left, and so

the Democratic Socialists declared war on the Democratic establishment in the same way Trump had on the Republicans a lot of a price.

Outsider bids from charismatic hardiness long and the full patch of the high social media. That allowed candidates like Edward Mansfield to dominate a news circle that could be a "sister of man" and a "sister of man". None of these victories would have been possible if the Democratic base hadn't also changed. The "moderate majority" turned out not to exist some

Democratic business: Abdul El-Sayed were the presidential attorney in Michigan this week

primary voting list. Pointing at Trump wasn't enough. Some cut votes would only lead support to candidates who or they had their views. Israel is the enemy, ever control and wealth have no legitimate social agreement won't be underpaid for public appeal. Even the sacred principles of democracy are being re-evaluated. The largest decrease in American saying that political violence "may be necessary" came from Democratic.

A crushing defeat at the hands of a populist Right taught the Democrats that they would have to contend with rightly. Nobody with a straight line can prevent be one about the deficit. All the 10 of the 10 people already thanks a empty intravalley divided by one and wealth can come together and are cast in the right.

The new Democratic Left isn't really offering socialism, it's not not in the Marxist sense. There's no dialectical theory here, just's old political logic. It's about giving the people to the want—and hundreds and rupees want—just to see relentless, fairly Burnham and his political style. I expect some of a single economic or social problem in the 10 that is not an order of magnitude worse here in Britain. Perhaps the country will reduce one last hard laborer if we call it poverty before we admit the game is up. But there will be no return to "normality" in the next quarter of the future.

I expect it won't be long before a survey point at leader recognition that a door is opening for a critical, dangerous and proudly populist Left.

Ariana Grande's fans are not being critical. They are worried

What does Andy Burnham have for common with Ariana Grande, while from long, remember? They both appear to be innocent that they be quoted from scrutiny.

Even if you're not a fan of her music, you're able to see what is the moment of the pop segment. Parents of young daughters will have been dragged into cinemas to watch the the chimelet Wicked Man, which saw Grande's effect her seasonly image to out her side as Glenda the Good. She's currently in the middle of her Internal Sunshine world tour, at the peak of her fame and no doubt her earnings potential.

But Grande made the decision this week to take a break from public life, with a spokesman banging 'endless, ongoing public scrutiny.'

If doesn't take a genius to figure out

what is being scrutinized. Fans began to notice at the beginning of Wicked, you're offbeat that Grande was to bang weight. But the release did not mean video, and it was a release of the wider world that Ariana was not simply engaging in no socialistic daring.

Take a break, and then, with the comments under the video, 'Hey support system is failing her.' 'It's not about wanting the old Ariana back. It's about wanting her to be healthy.' The concrete side of the Ariana looks positively skeletal. A costume that might to be from fitting hangs to see from her body.

Eating disorder or no, it is deeply limited but, that her attention management team believed this was the right moment to launch a new album—boring aside the aforementioned global tour which, at

the time of writing, is still under way. It reminds me of a similar spectacle in New year back, when the hope was unavailing funny. What were perfectly happy to watch that moment his family and reputation as long as the concert changes rolling in.

Strange self, Ariana has determined the 'endless scrutiny' into her artistry. In the Pew's view, she imagines herself as a celebrity hopeful parenting and young before an audience of others, while music executives. 'Couldn't start to have a few fun,' one scribble onto a inveged. The extreme in which, juxtaposed, her collarbones and sternum painfully prominent. The viewer comes away with the impression of having been trebled clearly, any comments about Ariana's truly above that we're all just like those smoggymen theaters. Women who lived through the early

She looks positively skeletal. A costume that might to be form-fitting hangs to see from her body

2010s will remember the cruelty of the young magazines showing attention to her part how it collates on collection like Joana's slips and Christina's slips. But that's not a 'sister of man' 'scrutiny' that Grande is not caring. I am an out-trying co-writer to be a 'sister of the fove,' they are worried about her health.

You cannot cultivate relationships with fans without respecting them to develop an interest in your personal well-being. Celebrity comes with an expectation of responsibility, especially when the star in question is a shared and unaudited by millions of young girls.

I'm glad Grande is taking time out of her providing schedule to look after herself. She would do well to recognize that the people who have suggested her career for years only wish to see her healthy and happy.

A golden era of childhood has passed along with a great British company

When I was about 14 I really wanted my best man. Since I was 16 I was in the bad a really big Chapter. Before anyone takes that the wrong man, and for the benefit of anyone under 16, I am of course referring to this Raleigh Chapter that was in the year's 1970s, but she had a 'guy-burgster' handleback, an long-peddy-locat with his friend. As far as I was, I was a very busy from what I said, how it all, a powerful, like a car's, mounted on the counter. I was a very nervous, a well-wished janitor. It came on a school called John Bird and Ultra Violet, and a million and a half were in.

What am I remember about my friends? Chapter 2 (I stop doing this side in a minute?) for some of the people I saw, but the viewers' British bicycle makers, Raleigh, have collapsed into administration after 16 years of making light, tissue, families, delivery from, little audiences, and the people I saw, and all made, polishing to likely Communion happily content with their reliable old people. I was, butring some but minute rescue, it is gone.

Of course, companies case and fall all the time. That's capitalise, that's why it works, and it is perfect not a good thing to be done help, others will answer.

No, the tragedy here is what has passed along with Raleigh, what me and how and all my mates took for granted in 2016. In provincial likeotical, the total freedom we had, a table, to go anywhere we liked, in a single, cheap fabric.

We've felt around towns to each other's houses. We've felt around a place town and over the river to gather confers, or drink cough cider. It seems incredible now, but we need to cycle out of Hereford altogether, if the long company 'reliably, deep into the people' that and the rolling woods, to correctly smoke Players. But, we talk about girls, or there they'd been that financially dangerous bill. And then we'd cycle home in the

sturdy night, and our mothers disengaged and hated us and made us council to the underclass. We were about 14 or 15.

The numbers are wide. In 1990, 80 per cent of English secondary school children were allowed to go alone to join us within without distance of their homes. By 2010 it was 10 per cent and failing. Half of England, 10 per cent of the town with once-campioned to the corner shop, but alone cycle out of town.

When running the night's dying or dead, in a small of seventy 10 years old, in 10 countries, only in Finland, Sweden, Japan and Denmark are a majority of children of any age, allowed to smoke 200+ daily. The bikes are still there—ownership remains high. Yet the glorious freedom is gone. Childhood is diminished.

Why? Traffic, partly: there are twice as many cars now as there were in 1970. But mostly four, and the four is unfounded. The 1970s, when the strange remains as mercifully rare as it was then. What I hanged was the anxiety. For everything new and social media. Plus a culture that sees an unaccompanied kid as powerful evidence of a unglazed parent. When really I might just be a boy in search of his.

I sometimes wonder where my old Raleigh Northern town is inទី9, though, like there is no problem. All I forget, it lies in the dark somewhere, unused and neglected lately. I said I'd stop making that plan.

Either way, as we has passed along with a company—although I should, for honesty's sake, admit it wasn't all idyllic fairs.

I recall that, and maybe it's I came home forewheeling downhill on that bike, at the next 10mph, I hit a rock, went sailing over the bars and did a change point leading on the road, so my chin.

My mean ran out in horror. I was reduced to the third moment, they put plastic articles at my face. I was cycling again two days later.

Why Burnham's

council house

or a dog boat in a

recipe for disaster

Ambitious plans for mass state construction could end in a £47bn nightmare of incompetence and corruption full of the same old rows. By Ed Cumming, Blaise Cloran and Ben Butcher

On the 16th and the evening of Newham, said London, the Carpenters Estate is not a preprocessing night. Once a bustling community built, this collection of tower blocks had been reduced to a global town, subject to endless plans for redevelopment going back 20 years. Many of its flats have been rendered uninhabitable by the most rapid times and rising.

All the same, provided they do not spend the night there, residents are free to return to the flats they still think of as home, however run down they have become:

"We took dinner in our flats, then we have to spend the night in a Travelodge," says Warren Linton, who had lived on the estate since the 1990s. "The council moved to the November 2015 because of structural issues making the building unsafe, but we still can't see or hear any work being done. Sometimes if it came hard to see, you will have water running down the main stairs."

It is a similar story for Tov Faddam, 75 who trains nearby food bank. "There lived here for 50 years, it is my community," she says. "The council wanted me to move to Southend on Sea. I am not going to do that at my age. There lived here for such a long time, it is home. "I am living a boat want the council to find me a permanent new home."

A 'housing trap'

Andy Burnham has promised to "remove the biggest council house building programme since the postwar period."

Europe is not done. It's no need to have the west for Labour handwling unopposed. Burnham cannot cut the iron of 1 million council houses without increasing the similar number, of families on the waiting list for social housing. Many, he said, had wanted more than 30 years for a home. The country was too "housing trap" he argued. High housing costs such up disposable income, impede access to jobs and help perpetuate regional wealths blocks.

In addition to through social ambition will be difficult, to say the least. For all the vision of a building house, Burnham is not to address the central question of what council housing truly ought to be in Britain, and who's should be the

One is a series of empowering proofs, working-class people in the post-war years, social housing has become today 24/9 word for dependency on the state. It is often new week less as a hand up, and more of a hand out.

In the councils for previous stock, council housing has become an increasing in the inter- resource, particularly in cities, offering some a means of avoiding the pressures of ever rising costs and mortgages, while others see ever more of their own energy on keeping a roof over their house.

More housing will not entirely eliminate such competition - and the grievances that come with it. History shows that mass state house building programmes can come with rows, no experience and corruption, putting enormous power in the hands of those who decide what get built, how and who should be the best fit in them.

Nearly half a century after Britain last built council housing a scale, can Burnham pull off his social housing dream, or will it turn into what estimates suggest could be a £47bn nightmare? His approach has already led to rows. On Thursday evening, the Tories announced that they would have a real housing for foreign nationals, since some states would free up an estimated 250,000 homes.

"Labor has not come of immigration and lost control of the welfare bill, and it is British families picking up the bill and sitting on waiting lists," said Briton Whartle, the shadow work and pensioner secretary. In response despite havens, the Housing Secretary, said the levy going and non-removalers, and stalked from Bolton. "This numerous, unworkable proposal, copied from Bolton, would do nothing to tackle the housing crisis the Tories themselves created," she said. Few places in

Easter said that alone. Greater Manchester saw a building house in the nine years. Andy Burnham was mayor, but only 2,500 homes were built for social rest

the UK better demonstrate the scale of the problem than Newham. More than 40,000 households are on the two-eighty waiting list for council houses, the longest in the country, and it has more than doubled in a decade. Fifty nine recovers thousand households are in temporary accommodation, also the highest in the country.

The top five waiting lists are all in London: Newham, Bown, Lambeth, Forest, Hantons and Greenwich. All have high percentages of foreign nationals. Newham is in 16 per cent. Carpenters have warned of a broken system across the capital. "I'm just kind for years with no feedback, no transparency, or accountability. It's not a system, it's a black hole," Bway Twentree, a prominent social housing activist and writer, told the London Assembly housing committee on December.

Attempts to reduce the lists in Newham have fueled best stated sources. In the past decade, the boroughs had built just 502 new council houses, a tiny fraction of the new homes needed. And building is only one of the many difficulties associated with housing.

In 2014, the regulates were in Newham the lowest possible grade for the quality of a social housing. "The benefit and scale of these fiddings, in finding very serious health and safety issues, pose an unacceptable risk to tenants' well-being," said Kate Braboweth, chief of regulatory engagement at the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH). Last year, Newham council has received that an overnight school home-period into a housing officer who had allegedly assigned 20 properties to people who weren't eligible for them.

Around the same time, it was reported that Lewisham council had spent £3bn buying back council homes it had previously sold for £10m under the right to buy scheme. Meanwhile, in a cash 20 for 10,000 homes, the government had temporary accommodation costs will make up £200m of its budget shortfall over the next few years. It can't pay for permanent housing because it is spending too much on temporary housing.

Crisis point

Andy from the philosophical hitch hole at the heart of the estate rights, the practical challenges are abundant. Newham may be the worst council for housing, by a range of

measures, but it is just one example among many of us seen at crisis point. All over the country, councils and local authorities are wrestling with costs, corruption and incompetence in their attempts to increase the housing supply.

A home is a built new council house can into difficulties as soon as they are drafted. Plans get bogged down in legal studies, local objections and funding problems. In Woking, the Government project was meant to shone 1,142 homes but has been abandoned since the council declared bankruptcy in 2015. Earlier they saw Croyd's council be moved to write off £90m after first July 1st, a council housing company, collapsed. In Wiltshire, those Circle developers ran up almost £4m of debt, without finishing one home on six years.

At Southwick, in West Sussex, builders did such a calamities job on a development of 40 new flats that £5m of repairs will be needed before the tenants will be able to move on. Even when made habitable, homes can end up not being occupied by their intended tenants. Earlier they saw, a police investigation in bathing and bagusdom were of that

Yorkshire. Of council house weight have been fraudulently allocated to people by "corrupt housing officers for personal gain". Deciding who gets to live in new houses on create other boundaries, too. At Dutton Close, in Hineydale, the House Office planned to move asylum seekers into 21new build homes before too long down after local outrage. In Sheffield this week, protesters attack the homes they believe before being used to house asylum

seekers. That came after protests outside housing associations and degree last month which had been spathed by State originals were slapping the quarter for social housing.

Under current rules, asylum seekers are not eligible for social housing, apart from its exceptional circumstances such as when they have been victims of domestic abuse. Foreign nationals with settled status, refugee status or specific humanitarian protection, on the other hand, are eligible. In 2014-2015, the most common nationality of refugees in new social life was Afghan, followed by Ukrainian.

With England's waiting list for social housing now at 1.1 million, and charters wanting that the backlog would take a century to clear at current building rules, there are four that new arrivals to the country are being given housing ahead of British families. Seen from afar, Britain can look like a country where the Government can't build, or won't build, and can't get the right people into the homes it does manage to complete. Simply throwing money at the problem, without a clear rationale, might serve to intensify the problems and cause further social injury.

Nightmarish knot

Between £25m here, reduced rates for pubs and No 10 birth, Burnham has tried to hit the ground running since the became Prime Minister, with a relaxed, personable style and a series of eye-catching initiatives. He has even outlined a plan to tackle social care. If that is

Home front: Margaret Thatcher hands over a copy of the death in 2014 homes council house in Town Centre, Victoria, family in 1985 as part of her right to buy scheme

grouping a birth, however, the housing is coming on electric fence. No more more encapsulates the nightmarish knot of challenges starting down the new inhabitant of No 10. It is a policy since where planning into local government, transitory and the construction industry come together to create an unintended move, sign for corruption, class entry and interregulation. When the government for public allotment is obvious, success will require every outing problem that have defeated government for decades.

Ground building houses of after the Second World War, as the government worked to clear the last dates and provide good quality homes for a population's intangible for conflict. By the 1920s there were 300,000 homes per year being built, more than half by local authorities.

For Burnham to match the post-war, yearly average of completed council houses, he would be committing the country to nearly 140,000 extra completed dwellings per year. But there were of numbers have not been achieved since the late 1960s. The current average is just over 2,000 per year.

"It is a largely aspirational objective and it is going to be incredibly difficult to deliver in practice," says Victoria senior, a lawyer who advises local authorities on housing. "Local authorities are not equipped to build houses on a scale that they define the postwar period, and certainly not at the scale and pace that Andy Burnham anticipates.

"Thinking we are just going to go back to the council house building house of the British and the above local authorities didn't all themselves just then not feel like a realistic model for the 21st century," she asks.

"The reality is that if you actually want to build council housing on the scale of the post-war period you are talking to those of pounds of public investment. That is just not going to happen."

A target for corruption

Burnham informs a presentation. During the 1950s and 60s, English councils routinely built nearly 200,000 properties a year. These numbers disturbed during the 1970s, an inflation and a recession limited the scope for council spending. But such for this, council housing was a ripe target for corruption. In 1985, 17,500 thirds, the Labour leader of

Newcastle city council, was gated for six years over his role in the John Potham scandal, in which Potham, a prominent businessman, halted officials for government contracts. Potham, who was also called, described himself as a "fool, unwounded" by squall of heather.

In the 1990s, Margaret Thatcher limited council spending, which councils had building. Her popular right to buy scheme took hundreds of thousands of homes out of social housing stock. Not outside even limited in how they could replace them. The old model, in which councils borrowed money, built homes and managed the resources

themselves, was replaced by a new system of housing associations. These refers to the profit organisation that managed housing, and were found only a minimum of direct grants and private borrowing.

Yet Kate Burnham aspired to be the most pro-social housing PM of recent decades. The Labour manhood's pledge was 500,000 homes a year of all types, they have managed less than half. In January, Rachel Barnes and their housing minister three loved announced the Social and Affordable Shares Programme, a 10 year, £10m initiative aimed at delivering a million people to the new cost of which would be intended for social housing. Starmer quit before he could make inroads.

Burnham has yet to put a figure on his plan, but it is likely to be a masterfully more expensive than that. The Swedish Foundation has argued that 300,000 homes for social rest will actually cost £47bn, leaving an £50m little in labour asylum. It is a little might not be enough. The Centre for Policy

Studies has estimated that at a construction cost of about £250,000 per three-bedroom house, spending £2,000 each year for a decade would buy only about £1,000 homes a year. To build 800,000 a year would mean an extra £2200 per year, or roughly a third of the distance budget.

According to a recent report in The Guardian, Labour is planning to create a state-owned housing developer, which would be able to borrow at lower rates than private developers and housing associations. But Burnham knows from his time as mayor of Greater Manchester that building homes is harder (in reality than it is) to promise in a speech. While general housebuilding levels in Manchester have enjoyed a boom in recent years, council housing has been less successful. During Burnham's nine years as mayor, 16.8% affordable homes were completed across Greater Manchester, but only 1,188 for social rent, an average of fewer than 300 per year.

Private partnership

Regardless of their political priorities, however, anyone in Downing Street would have to contend with the same obstacles to housebuilding. For one thing, councils have lost the expertise in how to build them.

'It's hard to see a scenario in which we re-supply our local authorities to build houses in-house with their own teams,' says Victoria Smyth. 'I don't see that as being the model we end up with. What local authorities need to do is learn to partner with the private sector better. It's partly about revenue, having the right managers and helping them to be bolder and looser. We need to think about housing the way we think about other forms of infrastructure, which means more of a role for central government. Everyone agrees we need millions more houses, but nobody wants them in their back yard.'

Burnham's grand plans will inevitably create Stinthyam on the same scale. As well as charming new towns, the council building boom also left cities with ugly tower blocks - such as the Carpenters Estate, which was

built in 1967 - that now need renovation or demolition.

The difficulty of finding somewhere to build is especially pronounced in London and the South East, says Glen Bramley, a professor of urban studies at Harare West University, Edinburgh. 'There have been specific problems in the last several years. There have been building cost increases post Brexit and the war still theatre. Then in London you have the post-Grenhill fire prevention (rules), who is have made it difficult to build high rise and get anything, approved.'

'Most of us would argue they need to focus on suburban locations and get rid of the obsessive with 'borroworld first', which is a nonsense. Find good locations with appropriate public transport and services. That's where you should be building.'

Spiralling costs

The increase in housing costs also means the amount that would need to be passed on in rent to make back the order has increased faster than social costs have risen.

'The costs of building a home exceed what could be borrowed against future rental income paid on that house.' states a recent report from The Housing Forum, a trade body representing housing.

'For instance, if a council borrowed a 250,000 (the cost of the most straightforward house) at an interest rate of 1 per cent, the interest payments alone would be £10 a week, considerably higher than the latest that encourage social costs for a three-bedroom home of £10 a week, or £512 for affordable rents.' (Affordable rent is usually set at 40 per cent of market rent.)

'I think do manage to get off the ground, they must contend with a shortage of labour. 'The sector is not ready to be building the tens of thousands of homes that we need in boroughs like Southwark every year because there is just an on-rough of a workforce,' says Victor Chamberlain, a Liberal Democrat councillor for Southwark who has seen first hand how local authorities are struggling.

'Post-Brexit, a lot of the people who were

building homes in this country have left, and they'll has not been training new people in construction skills for a long time, and it is an ageing workforce, and a demanding one.'

As Rooney a problem as how to build, let, maintain and allocate council housing in what the housing is for in the first place. In recent decades, council housing in the UK has come to be seen as a last resort, an arena in which currently disadvantaged groups battle it out for a limited supply, creating fertile ground for division.

As much as any of the other obstacles, council housing has a founding problem. 'The most important challenge for Burnham is making council housing desirable again,' says Prof Steve Schaffern, a freelance journalist and author of The Rise and Fall of Council Housing. 'I think the image of council housing is so negative, particularly for young people. Burnham is trying to be big and bold, so it is inevitable that at the start it will not be

easy to build a consensus and it will not be easy to continue people it is desirable housing. Do any fall on his face.'

'There is an enduring Glamorgana ground council housing in the UK that other European nations do not share. If Burnham is to bring the electronic along with an expensive and ambitious council housing scheme, he will need to show average voices that the properties can be appreciated.'

'Countries like the Netherlands still are council housing as a mass model, (where lots of homes are built for a wide section of the population) rather than a residual model (where a smaller number of homes are built for a smaller group will impose acute needs),' says Cecilia Wong, a professor of planning at the University of Manchester who advised the Labour party on housing when they were in opposition. 'In the Netherlands, lawyers and academics will rent a council house. We need to redesign. When I came to Britain from

Hong Kong in the 1980s I was shocked to see what the council estates were like. In Hong Kong, 90 per cent of us came from council estates. It was normal.'

Whether there will ever be appetite for such a socialist system in Britain is another matter.

'We need political will'

Such in Newham, at least, there are grounds for optimism as well as despair. In May, two of Newham Council's affordable housing projects, Node Geolion House and Fladot Road, won first prizes at the Edna London awards. The mayor of Newham, Evelad Shonam, and the development meant 'lower energy bills, warmer homes and a better quality of life,' adding that in Newham, 'we're committed [to] building homes local families are proud to live in.'

Marvin Melton, 41 who lives in a three-bed apartment at Fladot Road with her family, says they are happy there. 'The decoration is nice, we have been here around three years and I do like the building, sometimes people smoke on the balcony but it is close to all the shops and bits.' But if Fladot Road suggests a way forward, in which council housing can be attractive, eco-friendly and popular with residents, there is still a long way to go, and not just here.

Burnham has not himself a huge task, which will require an appropriate amount of political will. And unless or until he answers the question of what - and who - council housing should be, he, has dream could easily turn into a nightmare.

'We need a lot of political will [to get council house building going],' says Dr McCafferty from Level Economic, the authors forений Fladot Road. 'You need real energy to get everybody on hand. It has to be about the quality as well as the numbers. We need to make sure that in 10 years time we are proud of the homes we build in this programme. Those homes need to last 200 years.'

In the meantime, residents such as Warren Lufkin just want a home to live in, prize-winning or not.

Middle-class one-upmanship's fiery new frontier

Smoke, evacuation alerts and orange skies are the unlikely new status symbols for Britons on holiday this summer

I am days into our all on-buried German holiday and my wife was looking agitated. It wasn't that she was having withdrawal from not cooking the children's tea, was bereft of it was investing or missing the drama of whether the Tannion to London commuter train might be an extra minute late to qualify for delay/sugar.

No. There was a wildfire. She'd seen reports on her phone, stories of three swaging Europe and now there was one on the very island we were staying on. Sure, we'd come on holiday to Greece to seek even more intense sun taps than were being offered by a UK in-freight, but this wasn't quite the intense humour she'd had in mind.

I stashed my own phone. 'Are you looking at flights?' she asked, thinking I might be one saying with her in the need to evacuate our family of four—on hiding two small boys aged seven and five.

I looked at her with a frown. 'No. I'm looking at where it is and wondering if I can get a cab there.'

And I was kicking myself in deciding not to pack the little sun or phone. I have to enable better sound quality for a searing, on the ground reportage for this fair newspaper.

Then both our phones shimmered. It was an alert, allied in Greek. But I saw the words 'Fora O'rot' and looked at Google Maps. This was the epicentre of the current wildfire. It was some 50mm 50cm best away and at least an hour's drive.

Kenny looked concerned. 'That's close,' she said. I shrugged my shoulders. 'Well, I replied, 'not really close enough.'

I now realised that we were entering dangerous territory. Not danger to life from being in the vicinity of a natural disaster, in, worse than that, a holiday domestic dispute. The battles of the series was laid bare. Her motherly instinct was kicking in to protect the children at all costs, however remote the danger. My main older testosterone was gripping me with the excitement of some actual drama unfolding to unleash me from the friends of the new civil Law Mr White Sammy resort. My biggest dilemma thus far had been the question of whether at lunch, after the summer of the Greek, hard-mean, I should never be the passengers out.

I also realised that it wasn't just the drama that was exciting me. The day before, a friend had posted a video of wildfires on the holiday home in Cologne, it was picked up by the BBC and then followed up with an

interview in The Times. 'We find the wildfires, it was like a disaster film,' talked this headline. 'The fire was orange, you, when you do were seeing towards our house.'

It is quite the way to keep up with the Joneses by claiming a larger and nearer wildfire

I looked at the Cretacifier, now growing steadily with the assistance of the seasonal McHry winds. I newsaged it. 'The video, But mine's bigger than yours.' For that is, of course, the honest path to take.

Because story drives our quaint middle-class sentences. As my from home and on holiday and my cash company-movers, the performance of our children at the school assembly or wine cellars, and once many of us are impoverished, all inclusive vacation children as aside, we must wrestle with the issues at our past.

These leaguer silly season wildfires are all the rage and the bigger, the

closer, the better, and who would chastise a little exaggeration, a gentle bit of truth or an unsung. After all in the wake of Jesus, Joliet and the abduction Walter Milly (abduction) (can't wait for the Netflix series) it's de rigueur to face the flames of our own dramas. If it's not too hot or villas, restaurant bills or stories, it is quite the way to keep up with the Joneses by claiming a larger and nearer wildfire.

All the rage. Bodybikes battle a wildfire ranging. Zestia's Bodybikes region last month.

So, from the complete safety of our Cretani resort, on the other side of a mountain, wind-dies from in our favour. How coming under control, I newsaged family and friends. '...yes, terrible situation, can smell the smoke, orange skies, looking at flights out, if we can make it.'

The text'd by I newsaged Jo for an update. 'We're by the pool,' she said, 'am cooking lunch, there's it of us.'

I'm taking on the petty Karens who are intent on terrorising my restaurant

The Aegean Breeze is a restaurant in Worcester, a purveyor of seafood and steak. And usually to the approval of regulars, that recently a group of diners decided, when the 2006 bill arrived, that things had not in fact been up to scratch.

'The future had been 'earthy', they said. The stall offered some money off to placate them. The party refused, she edged that nothing had been good and they stumped off without paying.

'Absolutely Karens,' observed a member of staff. Which paper they interest, itself because of the use of the word Karens and then the anamnesis escape. One fools for decent Karens everywhere, that they should be, անվaped for the ordinary expression. If you didn't know, calling someone a 'Karen' is implying they are middle-aged and middle grandson tendencies, an air-crred importance of righteousness, moral certainty (any performance authority - arrogant) with

Imagine if that happened is my place. I thought: the dangling of my name is from compliance, the threat of new payment. The text happened, in broad belight (or rather late evening) in my own establishment. The White Bart in Wroclaw came. West Somerset. An email came from the professional account of someone who wields a certain legislative power over small businesses. They had looked into my restaurant, which shakes might I recommend I immediately replied telling the version of the blue-colour anchovy starter, just a few of the little fishes, smashed, screwed alongside. This strips of toast of local Longstone searchlight and a crunch of smooth saltseal, a soft-wool butter, suggesting

items from the magnificent Somerset Griller chef Charlotte's particular itemina. I told my general manager, Andrew, of the imminent VVIP Take particular care of them. I said:

I was away and the experts came a couple of days later. Rarely the informant (no from the chef: 'An absolute Karens might,' she said. And then the formal, moment-by-moment record of hearty Andrew. Which ended, true to Karens form, with the party brandishing my name and suggesting they would swerve the bill.

'We'll not it out with William, we know him,' they said. Andrew stood firm. A light-below from made, the bill reluctantly paid. They stumped off itself, and my team, are happy to say that we will not tolerate Karens. Or, as I'd just it, petty tyrants will never succeed in terrorising my restaurant. They pure God, arrogant and ignorant grievances being almost too good to be true; the most sublime of which was that 'the anchovies were too salty.'

'If I pass your comments to the hitches,' said George the Greek, working the floor that night and at his most charming, the calmly related their stereotypes that along with the revelation that the Pope was Catholic. Sailed and broken are salty, that's the joy. On delivering two whole lemon soles George offered a cake them off the bone, something he does with the delight of hand of a magician. No thanks, they said, we'll have them whole. And then, sometime later, they complained to George that they were 'too bony'. Again he bowed, vowing to pass on this message.

So being prevented with the bill they then levelled it, I complain that George had asked them where they were from. His email 'Good evening, because you, where are you from?' ouse of charm was taken as an assault. The person then smoked me threatening a poor review and suggesting we speak, presumably to place on the ground of the online administration. My review of them, I suggested, would be rather worse, their attempts to swerve the bill being theft, on top of the reputation-destroying salty anchovy gate. The VIP did not reply. The list of staff that's not welcome in my restaurant they spoke, so badly behaved both, no, or being like the unbox it's Evrite, no well-done stroke, no wine glass theft, no feedback, no do we communicate it all that on to the wall less - and no tyrants.

My review of them, I suggested, would be rather worse, their attempts to swerve the bill being theft

The Sunday Interview

Sir Sadiq Khan materialises in his office a few seconds after I arrive, beginning with purpose. He is almost aggressively loyal. 10:30, says Khan and, tally, good Man. He is good before death and exactly as friendly as the occasion demands. After a decade as London's mayor, Khan has heard himself since machine whose every point of output is dedicated to the same end, continuing to be the mayor of London.

You must be, Khan is still coming up with new ideas, a £100 million to a performance (which there will begin in September, but won't be launched) a 10-year scheme to clean up the capital's rivers and waterways. Even the small talk about the time from the meeting round the town for Hall, which overlooks the doubly sprawling clock in the London House, comes spared with politics.

'This idea was that if we move City Hall now, finally we were all this over the years, because we own the forefed town. And also, power there could have to come here as well,' he says. In front of the hall is an area for waterways, including a little report-off paper for children to swim in. 'Lots of the dark from the waters around have short got a summer holiday, so we have spent a lot of money.'

A possible major director Andy Burnham, No. 10 North, which the new Prime Minister hopes will help reduce their power away from the capital?

'It is meaningful, yeah,' Khan says, after the limited information. 'This idea is to try to stimulate a lot of interest in the way, and it is working.'

I am in an old Minarier old friends and they make an interesting comparison study, a day of the marries. They were both born in 1970, Burnham is famous. Khan is 54 feet. They were born using more in Labour MPs. Burnham was first elected in League 2016, Khan is 76 mings in 2020. They have both spent the past decade as mayor, Burnham of Greater Manchester, Khan of London.

Khan, halfway through his three teens and the five years she elected again if he runs a fourth time in 2020, has tried to what he says is 'the best job in the world'. For all the good things, he has also been more through 'everything but locum', multiple times and in the 'trend' it was a few and 'cool'. He stands he has no desire to be in the Labour and we are really ennobled by his first fourteen in part of his companion honours.

Burnham, on the other hand, has taken the long route to the many prime ministers at the third time of asking.

'I think even the hardest critic would recognize that he has lately good first two weeks,' Khan says of Burnham, who as he supported in the campaign trail. 'I'm a big fan of hypocrisy, I'm quite having a plan and interesting it. The energy from North is welcome. I get the impression. And I have a lot that, if you'll forgive the gun, in terms of where he wants government to go.'

Burnham's devastation agenda is naturally interesting to the mayor, who hopes to protect power over policy areas, but to maintain a greater share of local tax revenue.

'If the world's life back control were to be meaningful, does that mean power being taken back from Brussels and boarded in Whitehall, or does it mean power genuinely being, disgraceful areas like country? No, also rhinelands, foaming it for. He Telegraph leadership.

'We are the most controlled in the country, and we are so cold. As a mayor, it's frustrating because whether you're the mayor of West Yorkshire or Greater Manchester or London, we know our communities and challenges better than still servants in Whitehall.'

The challenge for the Prime Minister, when it comes to London, however, is that reputable devotion would mean the capital boarding more of its outlaid share of taxes, which is unlikely to be popular in power systems.

'London contributes roughly four out of every £10 raised in the country in taxes,' Khan says. 'We would contribute even more if we were given the powers and resources of deviation. One of our decisions is to keep poor pay up our ministers - and from between about three days better, being a former mayor of London - to that the way to 'leveling' our country should be to bring London down. But the other point is that the minister we've made as a country is the most important country should be granted for the crumbs we give.'

Part of his job recently, he says, has been more than just to understand that the government has been able to make and London crumbs. 'I have spent a lot of time the mayor trying to make the government. I have been nervous about Burnham being Prime Minister because of his caricature of hate being the Prime Minister for the North. I am confirm he has been a good man for the country. It is crucial for Labour politics into his own business. In ways. It is possible for Labour politics into his own business. In ways. It is possible for Labour politics into his own business. In ways. It is possible for Labour politics into his own business. In ways. It is possible for Labour politics into his own business.

Managing members about Burnham in the country, I have been maintaining negative mood music from Whitehall, along with his view that he used a new approach to the new town. I was worn I challenges over the past two years in terms of the 'Economy and Rachel Stevens' he says. 'Down and going is not a good way to move up people to the same way.' I have been impressed there are no young spinoffs ever. You may still have a film, but it does not matter.

This natural sense of balance is one

Sadiq Khan

I hope my hard work will earn Brownie points in Heaven

A controversial figure to many and a close friend of Andy Burnham, London's mayor says his tank is still fizzing as he weighs up running for a fourth term, says Ed Cumming

part of Khan's success. One could make the case that he is the most successful Labour politician of his generation, a man attached by some for being a dangerous interstate and/or where for being a dreary to him rule. No so small has attached that he is him for long enough to bring him down. I might not have been opposition to some of his landmark policies, particularly, often low measures some of his past, low traffic neighborhoods (LTN), and criticism are like record on crime. Khan has even all everyone for. From here the news is then, Sir Goldsmith, Shane Kishy and Susan Hall. So far, he has a gift for dodging.

The morning we move, Burnham has announced an overhaul of government rules to prioritize job creation over pre-arranged, as an avowed one is unavoidable, does Khan agree that it is right to prioritize, growth over, or a new? 'I think you're trying to make it as sure as possible for people to talk,' he says. 'Over time you move people to what you want to do. We rewarded employees with good trade names relative. There are very few benefits of Brexit, but one benefit is to procure more enlistment. So why don't we make more decried, I mean if he is not sure in a movement, if not that summer; when will people realise we

have man-made climate change happening that's got consequences for all of us? We have a situation where the London Fire Brigade is regularly, saying it's their banned day since the 1960s because of wildfires. And now, the courts of nutrition far outweigh the costs of action.'

A little of both, in other words, Speaking to Khan, you notice two conversational strategies. One, as above, is to answer the question with a long stream of some subject thoughts, so that for the time you get to think, you want to ask about something else. The other is to use statistics like a tighter pro-baptizing chaff to do so a minute. If you don't like one set of numbers, he has others. By the time he has finished having state, you have moved on with your life.

Still, where he feels being needed, policy, he has shown repeatedly that he is prepared to reduce criticism in one of the high. Like the expansion in 1950s in 2021 and 2023, first to see hate the area within the North and South Circular and then the whole of Greater London. Opposition to the expansion is left to the 3-year narrowly running the Uxbridge-by-election in 2023. 'Nobody talks about Ubroxner, Khan says. 'People are bounding from our policies. There is no reward

without risk. The best decision if we made over the past 10 years are those that were difficult to do. You can't see the politics like the great smog in the 1970s, so used it like the stink in the 1980s. So, but it is a fact that attempts decade and particular matter to a silent killer.' He Sadiq has been an investor, too, having a diagnosed with adult onset asthma while he was in training for the London Marathon in 2014. He compares himself to the 'heave to be a good' work including tobacco and power minions.

'The above majority was with me,' he says, his collection, even those who were against it think it was a good thing. 'I think it is the time there was a lot of noise from the vocal minority. Nobody is running to be mayor on the way to the way.'

Just as fractions were LTNs, another car switching policy, Khan has run on good, leading to angry protests and even vandalism by opponents. 'I can't do smoke through the LTNs without sounding local communities,' Khan says. 'A leading fan for good, more for an outstanding funder's rush. 'Some were excellent, some were OK, some were bad,' he says. 'I think we're, as there are policy areas in which he feels he would give

himself a lower mark than in others.' 'I don't play that game,' he says. 'London is fairer, safer, greener and more prosperous than it was 10 years ago. Without going into state and federal, it's not so easy, launching into a list of kids and at his interests. 'You're breathing a house on, but if you're to become a new boy, he'll try to be killed than it any time in these decades. If you're not sure on the lowest per capita since we're doing it, then the last year, there were 30,000 lives or money.'

The most recent criticism of Khan is that Londoner's experience of the city is not just with the case stated. 'I mean he gains with statistics. I have lived in London for nearly 40 years. I tell him, and, having never thấy never previously been the victim of crime, I have been robbed three times in the past five years, but no mention seeing its broad-filing things in the streets, struggling and other courts that create perceptions of the city.'

'Perception is really,' he says. 'The reference is bringing crime down but if you don't include, that's a problem for me.' He blames a plot that things turn, which turn 'the first time,' the first is since 2020. For the downside, but takes credit for the improvement.' 10-Khan's 100-year party can be frustrating on policy, his magazine

reduciance of abuse has been a remarkable asset. He has been threatened to the point where he now has round the clock security, a level of protection as a par with the Prime Minister. 'We must not long after Ann Wulfs condone was murdered at her home. Since Khan has one mayor, two MPs, he's on and for David Amore, have been killed.' The fact I need police protection is difficult to see made with being a public versus in terms of being accessible. One reason mayors are more effective than national politicians is they are more nimble. We move around facing protection makes that more difficult, trying to a gig or a run is hard.

Even today, he is often the target of abuse, a social media, and its interviews, from Donald Trump and Elon Musk. 'You opiate I am far behind,' he says. 'I get that. We are a city that is liberal, progressive, and truthful and, by any matter, incredibly successful. If you believe in mean enthusiasm, or you don't believe that Madam, Iowa, Christian and others can get on well, we're a problem for you.'

He is the fifth of eight children, the one of a late driver and a sometime who never fits Britain from Pakistan in 1969. The first person he saw is a 'sad, rather than a sniffier' was the head teacher that was working in love.

His faith has been at the time that year in May, he completed Big, the Muslim pilgrimage in March, an experience he described at the time as 'profoundly life-changing.'

'He is rather the diversity of the people who follow my faith,' he says. 'Outside London, like us is probably the most diverse place in the world. What's remarkable is all the men were wearing two pieces of white cloth. It's humbling. Despite all these titles and status, we're equal. You could be a gentleman, the mayor of London, a Sea driver, you're all the same. It was a chance to meet my presence.'

Middle religious culture has been sometimes seen in work and more family time. Khan has been married to Sandra, a solicitor whom he met in ninth form, since 1954. He coughs have two grown up designs. He has previously said that he takes only one holiday issue and even then the media that his wife will have for please or her, for extreme emergencies. But he says his pilgrimage has not managed him to work even harder to get to Heaven.

'I hope, and I say this in a new, postponed way, that the public service I do will bring towards in this world and the benefits,' he says. 'I'm hoping the work I do so coming into Brownie.

'This is a Christian country. Nobody wants to fly the flag of Mohammed over Downing Street'

points. We call it baseball, blessings. This idea is that life is an exam. If you pass the exam, you go to Heaven. If you finish it, you go to the other place. 'Reverting my potential doesn't mean working here, necessarily, although I haven't should try to speed more time with our girls and my family and staff, but it's try to carry on doing good.'

'It's not an act of domination, to the way,' he adds quickly. 'I'm not trying to persuade you or Telegraph readers to become Muslims or take over the country.'

'As if of domination' refers to a series of social and diagnostic York Timothy, the shadow panel's secretary, criticising an open air after a Muslim prayer gathering, held in Trafalgar Square in March. 'I'm not sure why people want to politicize this,' says Khan. 'I understand at the moment that when it comes to the hierarchy of people who are healthy open, Muslims are at the bottom. I can understand it's possible to win a vote by four rather than one vote. I can, in reflection, people will ask, is it really a bad thing where people are doing things in the open rather than hidden areas in a mosque.'

He says he should fly the attempts by some on the Right to use the event to save distance.

'This is a Christian country, some would say a Judeo-Christian country,' he adds. 'Nobody wants to fly the flag of Mohammed over Downing Street. Or I certainly don't. I don't understand why there's this problem. I never making people feel like we can't class citizens and closing this narrative about the clash of civilisations. This is must be the rest of those who are safe during young people.'

'What does the world have to do or not, Khan is certainly on the way to the House of Lords. But he decided where to be lord of.' 'Towing,' he says, granting. The Telegraph has been a good way to live in life.'

'My family is proud,' he says. 'My hope is that I'm being part of the Lord of the year.' 'I see well, but if you get a helping hand, you can achieve anything. This is a country what you of amusing with who has managed to get the best job in the world.'

'I will try to make the time.' 'I'm election would be a little. Were he to win, as the girls suggest he would, and see what a family name, he would have been London's mayor for 10 years.'

'After discussing it with my wife and family, I'll make a decision next year,' he says. 'My name is Ed. I'm still doing it right now.'

'One thing that garnered me a bit is that I'm not sure it's good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me. I'm going to be a good for me.

'I think we can guess what it will be.

Soho stands up against 'vertical drinking' curbs

Is a pub even a pub without punters on the pavement, ask Emily Retter and Harry Brennan

A Blood Problem now has current pasture while standing outside a pub with a drink. The also met her former partner that was: "We got chatting," she explains with a smile. That's what happens when you stand outside a pub, where that is more forthcoming than if you were confined to curbs with a war going, she says. "It's special," she adds. Perhaps explains also even how the pubs around a bar to get secret, although she is adamant that it is not to be mandated to a purse. "That's not what we're," she says, clearly. She is steadfast in her belief that the bar jocks and standing on the drink are all part of the British pub experience.

We meet outside the pillars of The Coach & House a pub on南方 Street in London's Isles, where Perkins, 60, and her niece, Molly Hopkins, 51, are having what has been recently dubbed a "vertical drink", he used them, fellow drinkers facing the pavement, a milling, leaning on long posts and spilling into the roads, where gaseers for the 6 percent them without a second thought. In Britain, it is a case we are so accustomed to, you do not immediately notice it. Drinkers become street furniture. For Perkins, it is a distinctive and lustrous cultural habit. "I've grown up with it," the Lord says. "And it's special for other people, visiting, to experience it."

Westminster city council, which oversees this area of London that is one with restaurants and pubs, does not agree. A draft announcement is coming to the public and for consultancy by the Conservative led council has caused confirmation. The document suggests owners in Isles and the West End could introduce "monsters to reduce the extent of, or to remove opportunities for, vertical drinking," adding "this could be by introducing fixed seating and conditions to provide a minimum number of seats at all times and requiring satire to be in water or waitress service only." A statement that, intended or not, carries a distinctly sterile. Could you wish? Drinkers have are perplexed. Hopkins says she has kept off no oblique outside

For Coach & House 'It really special for tourists to experience standing outside a pub'

pubs. Right on cue. Alex Gane feels, 51, a stranger, home in. "Social interactions are the most important part, that's why you come to the pub," he says.

"If you can view works from home, it's behind computer screens. I never seen likely to talk to other people when you're standing next to them rather than sitting at a table."

While the council has said it is not suggesting a ban on drinking while standing and it hews to 18 or up that minimum, the document, which is focused on "balancing the vibrancy of the city with the need to protect residents and maintain safe, inclusive space," adds landlords should. "One orange enclosure drunkenness and one orange the provision of more seating in premises that we're all shot for people to sit and enjoy a drink and order food by table service, in place of up to the space that I stress for high volume vertical drinking."

It is not just drinkers who are outraged. The community have caused a furrow among landlords, who are already struggling under the continued pressure of decreased employee National Insurance rates, alcohol duties, the minimum wage and business rates - a perfect form that prompted the Telegraph to launch its New Day Folio campaign. So, he Lord, former eight-time advisor to Greater Manchester's the on course, Andy Hardman, has labeled Westminster "the most anti-hospitality council in the UK." Becoming three than she wanted in, adding: "Keep pubs full of people talking to each other is not a public measure, it's British life and it is the outside of you."

At The Brench House in Isles's Dean Street, the landlady of 37 years, Lesley Lansing, angry. "Folio are pubs," she says. "A lot of people never sit down in pubs, it never crosses their mind." An all-nested area would look like an "airport lounge," she says. "If we are forced to have everybody seated and water service, we may as well have the place down or will up and let it be a town block...we miss we can't make it pay. We couldn't make it work during the lockdown," she explains. "Punters numbers would reduce. "Our pavements aren't with enough," she

says. "I think we would lose most of our customers. Who wants to be in a miserable environment where you have to sit at a table?"

The weary ban she coupled sat to landlords just over a mile away in Mary Monee, who hides falls under Westminster city council. While it is out of the street area being consulted upon it currently just Isles and the West End they remain concerned. Tim Hinson, who runs the live电路in farm on Isles Street, only has even for nine tables. "If it was not for standing drinking, we simply would not have a business," he says. "If we had to a pavement drinking, our trade would go from around 225k a week to 200 or 275. We would have to live stuff and would be going a far into a little YAZ, a lot of duty. National Insurance and other taxes we already pay."

'If it was not for standing drinking, we simply would not have a business'

More in nearby Dorset Street, adds. "If they want to stop it too busy, they will want to stop it every where else. In summertime, you might as well: keep the pub - people want to be out in the glorious sunshine - simply put, this would fall poke."

Outside The Devonshire on Droman Street, Isles, dogs and prunes stand moving slowly. All ages are there, and there from fills the narrow streets, forty Bedford. At its headward, history, cold-stated-up drinking "sacred future," vehemently adding that it "should be allowed to continue." The first part time in Holland, where table culture outside has to the thing. But here that, "there," had does not believe it would work here culturally, or practically the abundance of holes would not be able to house enough tables. "We don't have enough outside space," she says.

Learning on the public press with friends both be the 20, and Stephen Adams, 20, who both work in pub hospitality elsewhere on London, who fledged. Both as punters and pub management, they came over how being so called "even at drinking" could be good. "I don't think it's a pub any more if you also share something like that," says Albers. "It's it's walking up to the country, you're talking to the people behind the bar. That's how you become a regular. I think you're stripping away on important part of pub life. I think that a lot of places it would be an after reason they would close down. You're not going to be able to provide access to one's." "As do does not believe standing drinkers being extra conditions or unmanageable numbers, the opportunity is not to be able to provide access to one's."

Paul Swaddle, leader of Westminster city council, insists "there is no plan, and never has been, to ban drinking while standing up in a Westminster pub," adding he welcomes the conversation, which is "the part of a consultation," and stressing the council's priority of growth and backing hospitality. He adds: "This is about safety, not stopping anyone standing at a bar with a pub in their hand."

The punters in Isles are only no keen to be consulted. Outside The Town in Guinness Bar on Carlisle Street, they spill not only outside but across the narrow road to that the pavement, too. Tom Dread, 25, who works in the same wine and spirit sales, looks completely relaxed on a single "life pavement." The whole thing about Isles and London is having a drink outside," he says. "And a big part of going to the pub is that good is going up to the bar and choosing what you want. The charm you never with table service."

Outside The Brench House, dapper London at Oscar Graham House, 20, who works in luxury retail and is dressed to be more for vertical drinking, speaks with similar grooves. "Drinking under an arming, when you're literally shoulder to shoulder, you've got great conversation, you've got experience, you make friends." He is not a fan of "your Covid life code scanning," he knows. In less than tables, but here, he wants to stand. "and I say that standing outside The Brench House," he laughs.

I'm The Telegraph's motoring

After a year and 12,000 miles, Alex Robbins reveals whether opting for a used Hyundai was a stroke of genius or a costly error

Often an idea would buy a used Buccane car. I wouldn't they? I wouldn't have employed as the Telegraph's customer for myself, it's a fair to say that I heard my craft the hard car. There was the Toyota MRT1 with a life that consisted mostly of rust and newspaper, the Volkswagen Golf that had of you lucky two days before it died, and most recently, the Citroen 10 special their operation and three weeks of the three-year ownership on the road.

As I found decided to buy a used EV as a family car, it was 30'90 at a whether this would be one of my brighter ideas or an other bad decision. A year on, here are my feelings in response to the key questions regarding used EV ownership

Why did I choose an electric car? Primarily because it made sense. One of the benefits of an EV is that it can

save a lot of money, with the caveat that you can get the full benefit if you have a charging point at home.

I'm fortunate enough to be in that position. The savings compared with charging one's monthly car, a life inेशped estate, mitigated the extra cost of financing a new car EV. What's more if I were clever, I could get one that was now enough to sell the under-zone of the original financial estate warranty.

Another reason was EVs looked like a good value of the other. And having made the case for buying one in a Telegraph article, I felt I should find out whether the theory had been

What did I buy?

For long hours a fan of the Hyundai hung in some domestic styling, I might make the car's my surprise, while I'm not going to get a solid versatility. It has enough level space for one day and family holidays, while the three years old example I could afford would have a couple of years of warranty left.

What was the buying process like? Remarkably easy. I had visited more dealer Marshall Garwick and take it out salesman, founder, to look out for any likely focus in that might come into stock. I wouldn't like to copy salesmen, expecting to hear nothing back. But only on those here, she had to make suitable car - offering to buy it into group stock if it goes down a fully refundable deposit.

My family and I tried the car and did a deal that included a three year warranty extension, giving me more in total. It was a no to more, and we drove away in the family's Centrally it drove like a new car

Did Tom Cruise choose Scientology over Suri?

As his daughter takes to the Edinburgh stage, Liam Kelly tries to go to bottom of a decade-long rift

Only one of Tom Cruise's three children seems to want to follow in his historiography becoming an actor. However, before you scream 'unpolished' at 20-year-old Suri, there is some story to take, the opposite to be estranged from her Hollywood father and later to settle dropped his outcome. Strading the wanted as a Shakespeare adaptation at the Edinburgh Fringe that mostly is Suri Noelle - a member that was the middle name of her mother, however, from his Kate Holmes.

Father Cruise's other children - Isabella and Connor, whom he adopted while he was married to Nicole Kidman - has appears to have little or no relationship with her father. In contrast to other stories of Hollywood parent-childhoods, such as the ongoing drama around Paul Nyt's family, it has been suggested for some years past that it was Cruise, 64, who distance it beyond from his daughter more than a decade ago.

Suri has never publicly commented on their relationship.

When Holmes split from Cruise in 2012, it was reported to have been, at least in part, because she did not want Suri to follow her father into the Church of Scientology. During court, prior to drop the following year, Cruise admitted as a deposition that his third wife wanted to choose a party in order to 'protect Suri from Scientology'.

Cruise is the world's most famous Scientologist, a poster box for an otherwise secretive organization. It has long been speculated that Cruise's applied to the "science" of the world, and that they were just seen as public together at Disney World. Finally, in 2013 - in because of his devotion to the church. As a co-league, he knew Scientologists and the church were published doctrine, antagonists can be declared a 'suppression person' (SF) and it is the duty of the devoted to Science themselves from such people, even if they are only.

Should a Scientologist maintain evidence with an 81, they may be considered a 'potential trouble source' (PTS) and risk being declared as SF themselves. Scientologist maintained a decent force members to cut off relations who are not Scientologists. If Holmes was branded an SF and we don't know that she was, as the church has not made those decisions public for decades - a may explain why the Top has also appeared to defraud himself. From his daughter (This has never been

confirmed by the notoriously private Cruise, who is reported to have past Holmes's 600,000 each year in child maintenance while she bought up Suri in New York.)

For which, a British former Scientologist who left in 1991, has written several of such a big religion, most recently if Scientology, that is the World. He will see that had Holmes been declared an SF there even the infant Suri could be seen as 'very one' PTS. 'From Scientology's perspective, there is no age, you are an immoral being and you are responsible for your actions from the moment you are conceived,' he says.

Tony Ortega, who has covered Scientology on his 'Cancerware' frontier without for years, is still talking about Cruise with the late Mike Roeder, a former senior executive at the Church of Scientology who was an intimate of his leader, David Mice at age 7. 'Catherine got to break the rules and he's the most important celebrity,' says Ortega. 'Mike told me that if Tom Cruise wants to comment from his wife Kate and continue to see his daughter, Suri, that David Mice may would not stand in his way, that Tom's status as a celebrity would outweigh that.'

Much is more than 'Tom Cruise can do what the hell he likes. If he wanted to talk with her, as both a gang to send him to the ethics department of Scientology.'

Of course, it could be like Holmes and Suri estranged themselves from Cruise. None of them has up only spoken about their relationships. In this information vacuum, speculation has smelled for years and has further influenced by the news, and the same change now that she is an adult after studies at Carnegie Mellon University in Edinburgh, France.

'Suri, by changing her name, has made this a more public story,' Ortega adds. 'It seems clear to me that he chose Scientology over his own daughter, and it just a shame.'

Cruise's publicist did not respond to requests for comment.

It is all a far cry from when Suri was a lady. She was introduced to the public eye when she was just six months' old, on the cover of Today's Fair for what is she was pleased, egged by Annie LaBonte, as best. In the accompanying interview,

Cruise gushed about how much he enjoyed being a father. 'My father did it always wanted to be a person who always could be moved that my children would be able to depend on me and I would always be there for them and love them - that I'd never make a promise to me, but that I couldn't keep 'he out.' I'm not sure at those people who believe you can speak a child with me much love. You can never give a child too much love.'

There's just no way.' While such words may now ring before to Suri Noelle, Cruise's other children appear to be much closer with him. He adopted Isabella, now 21, and Connor 25, when married to Kidman, after the couple broke up in 2003 they were sad to have agreed a $5,000 custody split. This meant that, among other things, Isabella and Connor were raised as Scientologists themselves.

It may be that their adherence to the church helped maintain paternalism. Isabella is said to be a particularly devoted Scientologist, while Connor lives near its base in Clearwater. Florida Occasionally they are spotted with their father, most recently in

December 2023 at an in-charge game. Kidman, who met Cruise on the set of Jocay of Thunder and married him in 1999, has hinted that the faith of her children has been a source of tension. 'They are able to make their own decisions. They have much choices to be Scientologists and as a mother, it's my job to love them,' she told an Australian magazine in 2009. 'I am an example of that's the nice call that's what I believe - that no matter what your children, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love and I'm open here.'

The children seem to have very different lives from one another today but is returning in Melbourne: '...

'She has spoken very loudly by changing her name but she could say other things if she wanted to'

mark a adaptation of A Melbourne's Night's Dream, and linking it this 'kindly' a problem he put on with some of her fellow students. Isabella and Connor seem to be of another lives out of the spotlight. 'I don't think Connor or Isabella come any kind of public life,' says Ortega. 'Neither one of them seems to have really wanted to be active, or do not publicly.'

Isabella has a qualification in him and make up from London's Delmar Academy, and is an artist who describes herself as somebody that 'has been drawing over since her was hands could pick up a pen.' She sells tote bags online under the name Bella Kidman Cruise. She lifts various scenarios might be expected for the daughter of two at home, she started a British IT consultant. She finds it in 2010 and was the object of a friend the mother whom it was revealed that they lived in a public-dadied home detached home in Crayton. The biggest insights it is possible to place from Connor's life come from the living of her own, which are devoted to pay taxes if she has caught and must be less cooled.

'Since 2012 there's children has talked about him much publicly, and neither have Kidman or Holmes (the latter of whom is said to have signed a new disclosure agreement as part of her disease settlement). The fact that Suri has changed her name means that she may run day for she to address her relationship, or lack thereof,' with Cruise. 'She has spoken very loudly by changing her name but she could also say other things if she wanted to,' says Ortega. 'You really interested us as of something about that happens.'

expert and bought a used EV... what could go wrong?

Had the battery degraded with age? I insisted on a battery health institution taking delivery, which all buyers of used EVs should be. The results showed 30 per cent of the original capacity remaining, which is very low degradation over three years. I have not tested it once, but there hasn't been a noticeable drop in driving range.

What is the real world range? 1000 cells, say 7,000% Potassium model can at 100 miles, 4000 miles, that translates as about 240 miles of real world maximum range in the summer months, dropping to about 200 miles in the winter.

On one per le daily levels morning, with the outside temperature below minus 10C, the car predicted it could only manage 300 miles - although the jumped to about 200 miles on the move.

Did the long trips do it? All the time. We have made 2010 mile round trips. We have made a partner to see family twice a year. That trip does take a full range. One family to mark, then what is the course of the along, to think I can charge very quickly, at up to 2,000%

While you only ever see that speed in perfect conditions, it will still be quickly pull 10,000 from a suitable charger. In practice, if we may be a too break, a coffee and a frequency drop would excursion, the car has usually finished recharging before we get back to a meaning if a usually so, not the car, delaying the journey.

Have I ever had range anxiety? A couple of times, they and with arrived home, were the battery used reading 2 per cent, having been thanks on getting back late at night without stopping to charge. Longer winter journeys sometimes to open one more charging stop to the other, and the summer if you want to arrive home still with a comfortable level of charge.

Has it caught the pot? Oh, several times. On poking. Not yet.

Has it gone wrong in any other way? During the pre-delivery steps that the dealer found the charging door wouldn't open when present. This was fixed under warranty. The air conditioning fan refused to

work for the entirety of one journey. But it worked perfectly the next time the car was started and have continued to focus. Otherwise, it has been hard on.

Is public charging a big hands? By endlarge, the network is good enough now that if you're willing to

Load the charge, the writer would definitely consider buying a used EV. But the long EVs its battery health must be checked.

Comfortable suspension and lack of road noise mean the losing is relaxing to drive

a crypt the high cost on motorways you can be pretty confident in finding a working charger without using an app. Not to find the charger chargers, or the quickest, it's still worth using an app such as ZigMag to check for charger's using your route, with a few back-up options in mind.

How much does it really cost to use? Charging is exclusively in home, using any three smart charger and an Unipure for Digestive itself costing by 50%. It would have cost 2,000 for the 22,000 miles/1ve drivers. Using public charging alone would have cost 10 times that.

With about 10 per cent of any charging a public view, I estimate that it would be about 2,000 on the 10.10% My previous Moela Superb averaging 10ings would have cost about 25,925, above the high density.

Invening the long, I hasn't been as cheap as expected, because it needs a battery coolant change every four years to sit 100 miles, making the first time to approximately 10,000. The next few services will cost less.

What do I like about it? It's so cheap to run. Comfortable suspension and lack of road noise mean the losing is also relaxing to drive, especially on a long trip. In cold weather, pre-conditioning the interest - and getting into a warm car with deposed windows - is just. In summer, the same set-up means the air can can cool the car before you get in.

Any regrets? We miss the enormous host of our old Superb. I also miss its solidity. The losing is interest to create and only, but it feels better for comparison.

The only nice stuff will only cancel too far if you gain the morning wheel back to its central position too quickly, causing the main storm switch to take rather than switch off. It implies it me.

What about depreciation? I don't have valuation using this group, could it act as a yardstick, at the time, with 25,000 miles. Most work is reckoned it would fit it 45,000. That had follows 1,45,000 for hard, by which time the mileage was 40,000. As the 2m we saw, I had 1 min stoked renewal interest in used EVs, the other two again. Most way you values it at 250,725 with 30,000 miles.

Would they another used EV? Yes - with a couple of persons. A battery state of health, the first essential, as a long vehicle warranty, in case the learner does electrical components fail. If it used EV, he's those conditions, I'll certainly consider another.

The Marquess of Queensberry

Designed of fashionable 1960s innschool ceramics who was also the scion of a colourful family

Y was the family first of QUEENSHERRY, who has died in 1960. A year's leading postwar ceramistist and one of the major players in the early 1960s design revolution.

A change on of good design for the team market, David Queensberry curated influence with an level of the ceramics department at the Royal College of Art from 1959 to 1960, and as director of a new world design consultancy who has opened from within the Royal College itself. His relations were to be the head anywhere from HEA, within 1960s to "Pyrofilm" glass ceramics, and has found Thomas Conners' Habitat design "Mistracide wood (Mistator) and the British you." The founders were in 1964. "She's one of the business headed young. Designers we've got."

He made his name in 1965 when a working against the 1950s breakfast organic, covertly plastic, curvilinear designs, he unveiled his "fine" range for Midwesters, the most forward-thinking ceramics they in Britain. A "sweetish" cream, straight wines, and the tableware, the colourful at home of the coffee pots, wing bowls and paper wings, something in 1966 century new characters, the new and traditional milk churns, the fine range was an immediate fair, and never seen the the world of one authority as "one of the most important friendships in the country."

He simply was here to credit easily take a range of postwar before designs. He went to guitar being "Queensberry's first" for about 1960s of mustard brooms, grey and blue lines. This caught the 1960s in need for bold patterns on flat planes - an appetite which David Queensberry felt to be "the most important friendships in the country." 1964 mixed-meaning art glassware for Wobb's (or best and at least of the central design) and the 1960s, and the 1960s, were just in the mid-1960s. While made-Up Act, a milliganer that could be hung out, was up.

For thousands of years it has been against by famous beings to decrease the object to buy one "Queensberry's of The Daily Telegraphs 1960s." We had a little too much of it in the 1950s century and so there was no doubt that the world was more than things that now the 1960s has come for a change! After many years of experimenting in 1961 he preferred "Queensberry Market", a black that remained the commitment to processing of one milligram of natural porcelain slip.

The hàng with commercials in nature, he is the only one of the most from China's mouth, more robust monomers across the 1960s and 1970s. An owner of the Royal's Data Shop in 1960, he has been a member of the 1960s, and offers China shops, he posted himself on driving a hard bargain - he was delighted, for instance, to have anchored Woolworth's vis-a-vis who kept as many.

In general, the most important of the Royal College, he says "was to train ceramists for industry, rather than as craftsmen of one-off-candy prices. He was willing to invest in promising people business ideas.

Good industrial design, in his view, had to purchase some. "Can it be made or can usually? Will his market for which it is intended as a part if David genuinely improved the best that the designer can do, and he has been the most important friendship example of this was his 1961 'Tyrrell' range of tableware, designed to fit in with a more informal way of life, especially among the young.

The 1960s Queensberry described himself as "mighty left wing." He went on the dishwasher and was now a good businessman. The average of the 1960s he handed out was four disarmament bullets, and was hardy before 1960s to a Nigerian to other called shambas.

However, unlike follow-peer-making

David Queensberry had an overall to the title on the death of his own life after father in 1954, but waited until 1961 to make his another speech in the House of Lords, fearing his debate on the implications of homosexual acts between adults in private.

As the great grandson of the marquess who had persecuted the at Wible, he declared that his gay friends were not "in

the way more than ever to a natural than earlier period, or any other normal man of any acquaintance... He was most in the power of a natural or the desperate problems and difficulties of their life... Can one expect this to add to the the almost impossible basis of being a life of such a human or a good Queensberry nature of the fellow pious, "taking into account the natural or perishably that any of us might have been home-made, the opposite the problem in the world." There has for the first time to do it, go I" He added "I believe there have not be changed and that where my children are grown up they will be amazed that laws of the world could have meant to the middle of the 20th century."

His impression of comfort, he, as part of a question of younger person on the occasion, has credited with

influencing the heavy majority in the Lords who owned a house of the Earl of Arran's Bengal (Whence Bill) proposed design for the House of Commons on the 1st for year and establishing "the Second Chamber as a powerful engine, if not for revolution, as it would be a real reform," reported 2% Sweden for people.

Until 1952, ceramics had come under the "new Utility" range, the first time to which no decoration or ornament. Even after restrictions were lifted, a mass of new portions covered to their old patterns, knowing that anything they made could be lost.

North Sea shutdown to cost taxpayer £13bn

Decline of Britain's oil and gas sector under Labour is 'reading national wealth', Ineos chairman warns

By Jonathan Locke

THE Treasury faces a multibillion pound hit from Labour's North Sea shutdown. BFA former finance chief has warned.

In another way, who sat on the board of BP from 2015 to 2020, said providing tax rates and a ban on new drilling had prompted many oil and gas operators to halt activity in British waters sooner

than expected. As a result, companies are ongoing plans and platforms out of the sea far earlier than planned. The vast costs of such decommissioning can be claimed back against the tax paid on previous years' profits, meaning a huge return fall for the Treasury.

The latest estimates suggest the rebates, plan foregone tax from North Sea operations, could cost the Treasury around £13bn between now and 2018. Writing in The Telegraph, Mr Gibney, who is now chairman of Sir Jim Griffith's Ineos Energy, said: 'Forcing fields to close precautionary does not simply switch all future tax receipts, it also brings forward the point at which those decommissioning tax rebels

revolution, increasing the near-term pressure on the public finance.'

Mr Gibney said the decline of the UK oil and gas industry under Labour was 'reading long-term national wealth' and damaging 'the fiscal capacity to fund public services'.

The warning comes a week after BP announced plans to visit the North Sea by selling its operations there.

Mng O'Neill, the company's chief executive, has since said the region 'should' compete for capital.

Oil and gas companies face a 70pt loss on their UK profits after Labour increased a windfall on on the industry. The Government has also extended the levy by two years, from 2020 to 2030.

Mr Gibney said BP's decision to cost the North Sea was 'straightly warning again' about the cost of these policies.

He said: 'When major operators retract, the consequences ripple far beyond corporate balance sheets.'

Investment falls, supply chains weaken and highly skilled jobs, many clustered in Scotland and the North East, begun to disappear. Tax revenues decline and with them the fiscal capacity to fund public services and the energy transition itself.'

Animal decommissioning costs have already risen from £2bn in 2024. On year of Labour's decline, to £2bn every year from now to at least 2030, according to data from industry regulator the

North Sea Transition Authority. The NSTA predicts at least £30bn with respect to shutting down the North Sea from now to 2035. This implies a total cost to the Treasury of around £13bn over that period. Ashley Kelly, an analyst at investment bank Panamara Life学院, said: 'This shows the folly of the drive to deal down the North Sea.'

'Another risk that ministers fail to appreciate is that closing down some of the key offshore fuels will leave other fields drained and also forced to close. It means the loans shows down even faster, with less in general and more with clearing to be given.'

Andy Burshahn, the Prime Minister, has signalled that he will soften

Labour's winter on oil and gas, saying the UK 'cannot ignore'. North Sea customers, they are not going to solve will be on October and ill-sedunk, two large oil and gas operators are working against it.

A consultation on Lechder such as Menzler, it has the potential to deliver the other low packaging or transporto heat the equivalent of a million homes, according to operator Adans.

In total, the NSTA estimates it will cost about £30bn to decommission all operations in the North Sea. It suggests the final tax rebate fall for the Treasury will approach £10bn. Others believe even this is a huge underestimate.

The Government was contacted for comment.

Royal Navy submarine supplier mulls break-up

By Chris Price

A NO YEAR-OLD supplier for Britain's first-ritual war submarines is intailed to break up its business.

Goodness, which is making parts for the UK's first-ritual war submarine company, confirmed yesterday that it is considering offloading a 'substantial part' of its mechanic of engineering division.

This includes Goodwin Steel Cartage, the plant in Stoke-up-Trees, which designs precise metal components for the propulsion systems of submarines and the launchers used for Trident missiles.

Shares in Goodwin, which is valued at £1.2bn on the FTSE 2020, ranged by as much as 60 bps to less than month high prices.

The company said: 'The reasons are ongoing, and there can be no certainty that a financial loss will be entered into.'

The company, which remains half-owned by its founding family, is a key supplier to multiple British and US flights and submarine programmes.

It makes parts for the Navy's helminth-class attack submarines and the broad-sought programme, the UK's 200m fleet that will carry Trident nuclear missiles. The first vessel is imported to enter service in the early 2030s.

The semitreties around the defence assets mean any sale could store national security operations, with any deal and buyers being scrutiny in Britain and the US.

Shares of Goodwin had been from 1pc so far this year after a series of the operating vessels. The company revealed in March that it had lost out on a contract to supply coastal radar antenna and transceivers in Lesotho.

Several buyout firms have submitted expressions of interest to the engineer in recent years, according to the Financial Times.

Takeover saga pushes Telegraph Media Group to loss of nearly £4m

By Christopher Williams

THE TELEGRAPH: dipped to a loss of nearly £4m last year despite its strong underlying profits, as the paralysis and costs of its three-year ownership battle took a toll.

Twenty-East 2022 accounts for Telegraph Media Group Holdings show a loss before tax of £5.9m on a turnover of £6.7m, increased to $1.4m and £6.7m in £2.7m under pressure from declining sales of newspapers to subscribers and in shops, and of print advertising. Print accounted for 5 bps of turnover. Meanwhile, digital subscrip-

tions and advertising revenue both grew by bps. At the start of the year there were 642,000 digital subscribers across all products, including a Puzzles app.

The ongoing rise of takeovers, which crimp a trifle from Google search, hit turnover from Telegraph Travel and other lifestyle premiums by 20pc.

Nscale to snub London for £19bn US listing Aldi and Lidl to face more stores competition

By James Titcomb

ONE OF Britain's biggest 43 companies is planning to float in New York in a new blow to London's hopes of attracting tech listings.

London-based data centre company Nscale is preparing for a US initial public offering access to a new month.

Nscale is targeting New York despite receiving social support from the UK Government. The move would prolong the struggles of the London Stock Exchange in attracting tech companies

to list. The company did not comment on its IPO plans. The Scottish could value Nscale, run by Josh Foster, the Australian or cryptocurrency name, at around £19bn (£19bn), according to tech news website The Information.

Founded two years ago, Nscale has former Facebook business in York (Slag and Board) has been in the market. Nscale is issuing potential contracts worth £10m to make investors ahead of the British, according to Bloomberg, although the company's financial position was around £100m. While the British

could be as early as September, the timeline could dig.

British-tech companies including semi-conducts giant John have shown to list in the US instead of London.

Nscale, whose investors on Indy Stock and Dell recently raised £10m in what was Europe's biggest ever series of technology, banking sound.

If Nscale follows through with plans to go public in the US, it ranks embarrassment for the Government. Labour companies are not looking as a consequence of Britain's 43 boom.

ALDI and Lidl will face more competition under plans to drag the German due centres of their power to block total supermarkets from opening nearby.

The Competition and Markets Authority said it had previously decided the part should have a new one from planning rather than allowed them to prevent competition from building new stores close to their own. The UK's 43 sell yesterday that the German chains were new so big that

they should be subject to the same restrictions as rivals, which were introduced 10 years ago.

Under current rules, Evco, Sainsbury's, Aeds, Morrisons, Westover, Marlin & Spencer and Co-quar-banned from exclusive land agreements that make it harder for rivals to open nearby, creating competition in the UK.

Whose the regulations were introduced in 2016, Aldi and Lidl were made outright on the grounds of the new deal, and the UK's 43 deal chains, with market shares of around

3pc and 1.3pc respectively. Today, Aldi is the UK's fourth largest supermarket by market share, while Lidl recently took the fifth spot from the crown.

The negative will now consider in its proposed before making a final decision. The UK's 43 deal chains did not offer in plans to open 'franchise of new stores across the country'. Lidl said that it was 'whose a digital car steadfast momentum and growth'.

UK must stop paying others for energy

THE UK is making a strategic error in the North Sea, one that risks undermining energy security, destroying high-value jobs and seeking long-term national wealth. At the heart of the problem is policy mandated. The Energy Profile Levy, or whatfall tax, continued without effective ban on new drilling, has sent a clear signal to investors: the UK is no longer a reliable place to deploy capital. Profile fully, capital has gone elsewhere.

Nowhere is that more evident than as the way, where investment in the continental deficit remains at roughly 10 times UK levels.

Even more personally, Norway is expecting gas to the UK from the same home, energy we could in part produce ourselves, while British consumers and taxpayers absorb the cost.

'We are increasingly choosing to import what we could produce domestically,' said the company's director. This is not an abstract concern. BP's decision is work back and sell North Sea assets is a tangible warning sign. When major operators retreat, the consequences apply for beyond corporate balance sheets. Investment falls, supply chains weaken, and highly skilled jobs, many shattered in football and the North East, begin to disappear. Government decline, and with them the fiscal capacity to fund public services and the energy transition itself.

There is a further, often overlooked cost to the Exchequer. Companies can offset a significant proportion of North Sea decommissioning costs against us, reducing the overall cost of removing platforms and plugging wells.

With the North Sea Transition Authority estimating that about £1 billion remains to be spent on decommissioning, the Exchequer faces billions of pounds that relief over the coming decades.

Forcing fields to clear prematurely does not simply switch off future tax

receipts; it also brings forward the point at which these decommissioning tax reliefs crystallise, increasing the near-term premium. The tax could enable truth is that UK demand for oil and gas has not vanished. Instead, we are increasingly choosing to import what we could produce domestically, and with a higher carbon footprint. That is not climate leadership, it is carbon-bottage combined with economic self-harm.

Unmanladers have been blunt about the stakes. Sharon Graham, general secretary of State, has warned that 'without a different plan for domestic energy, we risk not this big issue of thousands of skilled jobs and following our entire industrial communities.' Similarly, the GMB has stressed that 'North Sea workers should not be collateral damage (no specify managed transition)' calling for sustained investment in domestic production alongside the growth of necessities. This is not a fringe issue. Even those strongly committed to climate action recognition has used its balance.

Sir Tew (that's recently endorsed that) 'people feel they are being asked to make financial sacrifices and changes in lifestyle when they know the impact on global emissions is minimal.' Up going for a more pragmatic approach that protects economic resilience while preventing the emissions.

The UK still has significant remaining reserves in the North Sea. With the right fiscal framework, these resources can be developed responsibly, supporting the strengthening energy security and generating revenues to fund the transition to cheaper energy systems. The alternative - continued policy volatility and punitive taxation - will accelerate decline without reducing demand.

Assessing course requirements clear steps.

First, the Government should remove or substantially reform the Energy Profile Levy to restore invasive confidence and create a stable predictable fiscal regime.

Second, it should lift restrictions on new drilling, allowing companies to invest in projects that can deliver domestic supply over the coming decades.

This is ultimately a question of choice. The UK has either manage the decline of the North Sea in a way that maintains economic value and energy security, or it can force a premature contraction that benefits competitors, increases imports and weakens the domestic economy.

A credible energy strategy must recognize that oil and gas will remain part of the UK's energy and its costs become. The questions next whether we use these resources, but whether we produce them ourselves, or pay others to do it.

Raleigh's downfall brings home the decline of manufacturing

MATTHEW LYNN

The long and painful fall of the cycle maker is emblematic of what has gone wrong in UK industry

WITH famous models such as the Gaffney, the Boston and, perhaps most of all, the Cheppar, Raleigh remains one of the most treasured brands in cycling history.

Hole models will see all the latter fondly as probably the most wicked for Christmas gift of the 1970s.

And yet, this week we board that Accell, the Dutch owner of the bicycle manufacturer, has filed for insolvency. Sure, companies can into trouble all the time. And yet, the long and painful decline of Raleigh is surely emblematic of everything that has gone wrong with British manufacturing in the past 50 years - and unfortunately there is not much point in talking about building new machines if we cannot keep the old ones alive.

In some parallel analyses, Raleigh might be a huge success. After all, it is not as if cycling isn't popular.

Indeed, in most British cities you can hardly cross the street without a few cycles, whizzing past you. Around 15p of an cycle regularly, while on countries such as the Netherlands it is more than 50p. The global market is worth an estimated £10bn (£20bn), and it is growing at 5p - plus every year. Put simply, this is an industry where there is plenty of money to be made. And yet, to put it mildly, none of that has helped Raleigh.

Founded way back in 1991, in Nottingham, by 1913 it was the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world and held on to that position for decades. It was synonymous with reliable, simple transport and one of the major employees in the East Midlands.

Over the past 50 years, however, it has been a suitable old election decline. It was taken over by the largely forgotten industrial conglomerate 'Fabo Investments III' and then by the German-owned 'Bottel Cycle', and finally by Accell from the Netherlands.

Production force in Britain ended more than 20 years ago and now its latest owner has flown for insolvency. Perhaps someone else will buy out the branding rights from the administrators. Or perhaps they won't.

The Cheppar mark fit was inameter in 2004, taking styling costs from the 1970s.

We will then out over the next few weeks, but whatever happens, it is hard to see Raleigh anything as anything more than a badge, and perhaps not even that.

The keeps happening. Dmitry Pottery, another brand with a great heritage, appointed administrators earlier this year and stopped production after 200 years. Liberty Steel has closed down and most of what remains of the industry has been nationalised.

It is hard to believe that Jaguar Land Rover will be with us much longer, given how many mistakes the company has made, or its enthusiasm for trading a brand that was once one of the best in the global market for

high-technic. The big goes on and on. All the major developed economies struggle to stay competitive in manufacturing, given the rise of first Japanese and New Zealand trials. But Britain struggles more than most.

There is no other major country that has lost so many key include be on completely as we have. The result 'We have already dropped out of the top 10 global manufacturing nations, overtaken by the likes of Mexico and even Russia, and we show little signal on covering our place among the world's leaders any time soon.

We need to learn the lessons of that. The UK has for too long been a brutal place to run a manufacturing business. It starts with the trade union

military of the 1960s and 1970s, which made it harder and harder for the likes of Raleigh to remain competitive, first with the rest of Europe and then with Asia.

The industrial conglomerates of the 1960s may have to fully acquire some of the UK's top conglomerates such as IT, or rivals such as Bismon and BTR, never had the expertise or the ambition to give the brands they controlled and have usually disappeared. As this country has unlabeled, it has become even worse, with a particularly high energy prices and given levels that could have been purposely designed to make it as hard as possible to make anything as a luxury. It has been a long downturned trend, with only brief games on the way.

The new government led by Andy Burchard talks a lot about evolving manufacturing and creating new industries. But what is the point if we cannot keep the ones we already have alive? There is not much hope of dominating solar power, micro chips, or spare launchers, or whatever the latest business secretary has decided will generate the right kind of headquarterment, if we cannot make a bicycle. We are just holding ourselves. It is not going to happen.

It is not a country responsible. We need the lower corporate taxes, much cheaper industrial energy, more flexible labour value, as end to planning work to be that make it virtually impossible to expand plants in the right place, better infrastructure, trade deals that allow access to the biggest markets on fair terms, and welfare reforms that mean it is possible to find people to do the jobs that are needed if a business happens to start growing again.

There is nothing very complicated about it. With the right mix, more companies would survive and might or have been growing again.

But right now there is very little sign that the new government, by all its rhetoric about helping the North - or actually the plus McDonald in this case - turns out to be a mix, but just few did.

There are probably plenty of teenagers who already have vinyl, vinyl, and plastic film papers, who would like to find a retro Cheppar make the Chintanquiver, and parents who would pay handsomely for it, especially if it had the authenticity of being 'Made in Nottingham'.

But it is not going to happen. Raleigh's long decline is a very tale of industrial incompetence and unfortunately it looks as if there is little sign of that ending any time soon.

Why FTSE companies are heading for the exit

Exodus of valuable businesses from the City exposes a decades-long decline, write Chris Price and Ollie Corfe

ON HOLIDAY to live on this summer, Charles Hall left a familiar visiting feeling. The most recent market at City worldwide's Post Bank had last year that AstraZeneca had to take with US pharmaceutical giant Bruce Myers hopeful about a potential merger.

It required a new one that Britain's second largest market in the country could exit the London market altogether. Such an event would be called a decades-long decline for the City, which has suffered from an exodus of listed companies pursuing better returns elsewhere.

"It definitely is concerning," says Hall. "The equities market is a central part of our economy. It should be seen as a national asset that is central to the health of our economy."

After shares in AstraZeneca fell by 1990, a source close to the company sought to deny that one per talim had taken place. However, the special issue was enough to raise shares with that Britain's stock market is stuck in a relentless style of decline.

The number of listed companies on the main market of the London Stock Exchange has plunged from nearly 1,700 in 2000 to just 30,000 July. During that period, the number of companies joining the market has also fallen.

The number of new listings, called initial public offerings or IPOs, is down from nearly 10 in 2007 to nearly a handful in each of the past four years.

"IPOs are down considerably on previous years," says Julian Morse, of investment bank's president. "It's down in the capital available."

UK listings transferred 22.8% in 2006, but this ended in just 23.0% that year. Rather than take money in Britain, blue-chip companies are being drawn to the alleles of deeper pools of capital overseas. However, the FTSE 100 trading plan designed a short concentration of amounts of plans for a secondary listing in Australia.

The downturn in UK listed companies has been leadership pension funds running away from domestic markets in interest of investments elsewhere, with the Department of Health and Pensions estimated that about 32% of defined benefit pension assets were invested in UK equities in 2006. This has now cracked its decline 2%.

The British market has been a market made up only 2.9% of UK pension fund investments in 2005.

compared with 63.2pc for the UK and more than 60pc for Japan and Italy. Half says it is "half-sway" that pension funds receive 2,000m a year of taxpayers' money through tax and National Insurance relief, without the expectation that "a decent portion" of their funds is invested in the UK. Jeremy Hunt and Rachel Reeves,

former chancellor, both toyed with the idea of locating pension funds to allocate a net amount of their investments to British firms. Morse urged John Healey, their successor on Chancellor, to push ahead with the plans. "I'm all for mandating a certain percentage into UK companies,

seeing as they're getting a 60pc tax break," he says. Yet this would only go some way to undoing the damage done by high taxes under Labour. It is really one step of that UK investment—a period of 25.0m from stock market funds last month and 60m that Andy Burchstein administration will put up wealth

taxes, including capital gains. July was the fifth recent month for equity fund withdrawals in the past 11 years. Investors have pulled 25.0m from funds in the last 12 months alone, according to a chairman. Yet this made an underlying issue that UK shares are simply not as attractive as those listed elsewhere.

Someone who put 25,000 into the UK market in 2007 would have seen that investment grew to 25,000 by June this year in real terms after inflation, an 60pc increase.

By 2006, the 25,000 of 5.0pc put into the S&P 500 would be worth its 280 after inflation, up 20pc. Elsewhere, 41,000 of 5,000 put into the Amsterdam stock market would be worth US$47 a return of 20pc.

About 35pc of the value of the S&P 500 comes from tech companies, compared with just 1pc of the FTSE 100.

"If you look at the US and the Netherlands, these are markets where you've had different direct companies, especially cotton/liners, companies in the tech sector," says Martin Feinchen, a portfolio manager of The Legal Asset Management, pointing to the films of Amazon, Nvidia and Tesla.

The reason such does are not stressed in the UK market is that there are deeper pools of capital elsewhere, Feinchen says.

The general malaise around the City has led to a sharp drop in the number of daily trades. Each day there were typically more than two billion trades happening on the London stock market in 2006. This has fallen to 70,000m.

For every company joining the market, several more seem to be heading for the exit

A spokesman for the London Stock Exchange insists that the UK "has no shortage of innovative businesses or available capital."

However, they acknowledged that "the challenge is ensuring more of that investment is directed towards supporting growth at home."

To combat fears of decline, the Financial Conduct Authority last week announced a package of reforms. The red include a new platform to see out the value of all trading in UK listed shares, and seeks to combat the underreporting of London market liquidity.

Some hope that such measures, combined with the fact that Britain's stocks are so cheap, will help boost trading. "While it has continued to get cheaper, and cheaper, you have a lot of companies which are trading at quite significant discounts," says Feinchen.

However, others are not secure. For every company joining the market, several more seem to be heading for the exit," says Garry White, an analyst at US investment bank, has issued letters.

"Unless the pipeline of new listings improves reach with the London market (whose coming better known as a 6-pac-lane lounge than a destination)"

Why putting A before people could prove costly for businesses

As fears grow around workplace automation, entrepreneur and author Sonya Barlow says human-first leadership is more important than ever

Writing the drama (child of the women's international market) is a

method of sport is incapable, truth the best mark on paper doesn't always win. A squad can be full of world-class talent, but without trust, communication and leadership is an official asset. I think

it's safe to see that businesses are beginning to learn that lesson.

It's an insight that leading UK, sport and finance provider MHR has continued with its People First platform, which creates a new very long term to build

around employee status. MHR's World of Work 2020 event, where I first appreciate a Telegraph Media Groups panel, also walks the walk: it will facilitate important discussions, insights to take and encourage the attention across industries and job roles.

How tech can bring a human touch to leadership

For decades, organizations have represented leadership for employers, targets, medical help, and to carry profitability. In the process, many leaders have become managers of business rather than developers of people, leaving little time for the past as leadership that cannot be automated. Building trust, developing

talent and creating the conditions in which people perform at their best. It is changing the212hfield, but not the planters. Administrative tasks that arise committed are time and can be completed in minutes rather than hours. The opportunity, the process is often focused in terms of efficiency. But that

information for scale is often a happening. It is not simple saving time; it is called sharing attention. That raises an important question: an leadership value more automated work of the same? (Judge, how will this's done to spend the time they get back?)

Avoiding the pitfalls of implementing it

At most, replace, good leaders, it will expose the ones who are not able to keep their teams moving forward, the ones who manage, buy-in or for value, and process for leadership.

It utilizes AI and automated to reduce mundane tasks and create more time, energy, and focus on the work that requires perception, trust, innovation and innovation.

Research also proves in this direction. Networking isn't always reflecting concern, it's about building trust before you work. It's leadership needs to exactly the same way.

AI can eliminate work flows, but it cannot build the relationships that people choose to follow. Organizational performance is shaped by the quality

of leadership - and technology should support that leadership not replace it. Modern work force platforms can help to reduce administrative burden, identify patterns across engagement and performance, and help leaders to make better informed decisions.

Businesses such as MHR are increasingly being particularly in exactly the end. Some women the human element from work, but in some more time the managers to develop their people and, one with, build trust. In the cases ahead, that may seem to be the greatest competitive advantage of all.

MHR has partnered with Telegraph Media Groups to ensure the next 20 years of business in the Future of Work series.

It's gloom with a view as midweek promises eclipse

By Joe Slante

NEXT week brings the moment which most of us, at one point or another, have been longing for all summer: the glorious engine of this tending sun finally is happening.

The total clear eclipse at tea time on Wednesday will be the largest visible in 1st this issue. Until 7th events went should see the best of it, with about 40 per cent of those said to be obscured from contigs points in Crestwall, though over the time of the event, we have made a strong deal with our about 10 per cent eclipsed.

The strong, sometimes, though, is what every one has when we hit for the most important factor in observing a proper eclipse. Your correspondent knows the way to see what the thing is going back by the newspaper to the Paris Islands in years ago to report on a total clear eclipse.

Unfortunately, on the day itself, the sky was another with most stunning racks from a hand darkening of the sky, it was all a lot of a thing again - demanding for the "eclipse chasers" who had crossed the world to be those and, if I recall, any edition weren't best pleased either. All the weather to the old stage about some working with children is the same.

This year what is known as "totality" is due to be particularly visible from northern Spain, although trust me on this - you are better off ending past.

Especially so because the weather into next week is also promising for eclipse tending, after those past five days of the season and until itself, the host is only changing back up again over the month.

And it does run as to echaud, it will be warm and dry for most and particularly so in the South.

Good for it to all can bring a glimpse next week. Feeling as we have barely witnessed things, it could be a result of the summer, hopefully they can hold off for a few more days.

It has taken 100 days to break Britain's rental market

The Renters' Rights Act promised greater security for tenants, but early signs show it is doing the opposite. By Maya Wilson Autzen

Labour's groundbreaking Renters' Rights Act was designed to give power back to tenants.

By banning landlords from issuing too low-2t "no-back" evictions, increasing rents more than once a year and accepting offers above the asking price, renters would finally be given the security and stability they deserves.

But 100 days after the act took effect in England, the reality is very different. Rents are up, the supply of properties has dumped and many tenants feel worse off than they were before.

Since May 1, when the reforms were introduced, a third of tenants have seen their rents increase, according to lettings

agency Goodlord. Average prices on new tenancies in England jumped from £1,20 a month in May to £1,500 in June. Annual rent inflation rose to 6.1pc – the highest level since August 2024, according to the agency.

A decade-long tax and regulatory sponsor on buy-wire investors had already driven thousands from the sector by the time the Renters' Rights Act kicked in. But now the exodus is accelerating. More than one in 10 landlords with prime properties (a few plus) said they had sold a rental since the act kicked in, according to a survey by estate agency Savills.

With champion of the rent reforms Amelia Rayner back in charge of the hone-

ing department, and a landlord tax increase starting from April 2027, investors who have decided to stick around will be wondering what the future holds.

Just 100 days in, Labour's reforms are already reshaping the rental market.

Labour's reforms aimed to improve the lot of tenants. Yet more than a third of landlords increased their advertised rents in the first month of the Renters' Rights Act, according to lettings agency Chestertons.

Outside London, rents felt a new record at a monthly average of £5,397 between April and June. Right now, the property portal, found. In the capital, the average rent rose by 2pc to £2,750 a month between the first

and second-quarters of the year, the steepest quarterly increase in London since 2023, according to Right now.

The new legislation means landlords can no longer accept offers above the asking price, to prevent bidding wars between prospective tenants. They are also limited to one rent rise a year.

But the measures seem to have backfired on tenants. Estate agencies report a rush of landlords raising their prices, or beginning new tenancies at higher rates.

Chestertons reported a 34pc year-on-year increase in landlords pushing their initial prices up, while Greg Tisman, of Martys Gerrard Estate Agents, says landlords are asking for 1pc-30pc above

the rent they think they can achieve. Tenants can also challenge rent rises through a tribunal – another incentive for landlords to start tenancies with higher prices than previously.

William Reeve, of letting agency Goodlord, warns that the Government "must ensure well-intended reforms don't accidentally tilt the market away from the tenants they were meant to protect".

The Telegraph has spoken to tenants banning for a flat who said the rental market had become more expensive.

Labour doesn't understand the meaning of the word growth

Oliver Cromwell banned swearing, sports, theatre and Christmas, and has long held the top spot as

this country's greatest party people. But a challenge for the title has emerged in the form of Westminster city council, which continues to catch its own resources. The most recent entrance proposal by the council is a ban on standing in a pub with a pint -surey, "vertical drinking" - and to end ordering at the bar.

We can only hope that London's Labour mayor Sir Sada's plan is as good as his word when he promised to

use new powers to stop councils over reaching in such ridiculous factions. However, while Luggard Sir Sada's intention, I couldn't help but will not

reve at his statement, which was doomed this as an "anti-growth" policy. There is a wealth of powerful arguments to make about this puritanical attempt by Westminster council, but the Councilers'高度评价 it was not them. It's also a bit rich coming from the governing party, which has done plenty

of damage to the UK's growth prospects. The issue is that 'growth' and 'anti-growth' have become unaltered from their economic meaning in their adop-

tion as the latest front of political warfare. Like Brexit, austerity and the cost of living, the concept has begun to capture the political effect imaginations.

All policies must now be judged to whether they create growth - not for the economic good of the country, but because it enables the parties to dodge the difficult decisions. If growth can be compared, the parties on the Right start have to explain where their tax cuts are funded from, while those on the Left

can continue spending indefinitely. But it is Labour that has formed His Majesty's Government and it is Labour

that must bear the heaviest judgment for its share of the terms.

Like their obsession with supermarket, but another John Healey began the month with a promise that he would not allow supermarkets to take the public "for a ride", in a continuation of his predecessor Rachel Reeves's insistence.

'One promise Healey is already willing to rewrite is his commitment to fiscal discipline'

that shops must end "proliferating" it will be easy for Healey to keep his promise that he will not let supermarkets rip you off, just as it would be easy to see to pledge as end to the avoway of Britain's rampant railway construction these are already things that don't happen. Supermarkets are extremely competitive businesses that operate on some 'thin margins of just 3-4pt and still manage to offer so much cheaper food and drink than our European cousins.

But one promise Healey is already willing to rewrite is his commitment to fiscal discipline. Just a fortnight after getting the keys to No 11 and vowing to

maintain Reeves's fiscal rules, the new Chancellor is already eyeing bending these to borrow an additional £90m.

As the national debt may, £3m and we spend more on servicing this sum than we do on transport and defence combined. It is the time to create spending.

Instead, Labour, much like the Tories better than, have become adept at spending the dividends of promised growth before it arrives - and then arising also back when it never does.

This country desperately needs growth, back to act for board as a party that found it as a huanosed rather than a deep cut at the heart of the nation.

Number of £100k families locked out of free childcare triples

CHILDCARE

The number of high-earning families locked out of free childcare has trebled in just two years, figures suggest:

In many as 90,000 children missed out in 2023-26, up from 50,800 in 2023-24, official figures obtained through a Freedom of Information request showed.

Free childcare is withdrawn when a parent's annual earnings surpass £500,000 a year, costing families as much as £8.9m in support last year.

Quilice, the wealth management firm that obtained his figures, said the rule was "a brake on ambition," with

even a slight pay rise triggering thousands of pounds in lost childcare support.

Families in England can apply for up to 30 hours of free care a week for a child aged between nine months and four years, but they become ineligible if one or

both parents' income passes £500,000. According to estimates from the Department for Education, the £100,000 cut-off left between 21,800 and 30,800 children ineligible for free care in 2023-24, costing families between £30m and £85m.

In 2023-26, this rose to between 50,300 and 99,000 children, whose

families collectively missed out on between £440m and £474m in support.

In a Furtner, of Quilice, said: "The childcare income limit creates one of the sharpest financial cliff edges in the system. In practice, that can mean a pay rise, promotion or bonus unexpectedly results in the loss of support worth thousands of pounds. At a time when policy makers want people to develop their careers, these types of cliff edge policies risk acting as a brake on ambition.

The sharp rise in the figures is partly because of the expansion of free childcare in recent years. In 2024-25, the sup-

port was extended to eligible children aged between nine months and two years, before their employment was also raised to 30 hours the following year.

However, the £500,000 earnings limit, introduced in 2017 by the Tories, has never risen. It's had matched inflation, the limit would now be £55,000.

A Department for Education spokesman said: "No government has ever put so much investment into the only years to make sure it reaches the children and communities that need it most. This means more children are covered by funded hours than ever before, which is why these numbers have grown."

The havoc wrought on tenants and landlords by Labour's reforms

came in, she has found it difficult to find a new place to live.

"There (just haven't been many options, and when there have been, they are more expensive, not azalee, or much further out," she says.

After months of searching, she decided to stay where she is - despite being desperate to move out - as "the whole process would be successful."

For others, the legislation has had both positive and negative consequences.

Daniel*, 26, who works in consultancy and lives in Finsbury Park, is looking for a new flat as his current housemate are moving out.

He says: "One noticeable change has been an increase in asking price. This was particularly stark when looking at lower quality properties with ludicrous asking prices."

However, "once we found properties we liked, the process was a lot simpler with the removal of the effective auction process of previous years", he adds.

Letting agents report that the number of prospective tenants has risen dramatically.

Truman says: "First-time buyer demand is severely subdued, which is increasing the relative number of renters. We've seen the ratio of tenants looking to cost available properties increase by 25p: in June compared with this time last year."

Yet supply has failed to keep pace. Edward Brookes, of buying agents, financial workers, says: "We're only in the first 300 days; much more is yet to come out in the week, but without doubt the biggest change has to be the reduction in rental supply."

Righmore found that between April and June, the number of available rentals dropped by far from levels in the same period in 2021 as landlords and the sector. The result is that prospective tenants face fewer competition to secure a rental.

In July, the average rental home received 16 inquiries - double the pre-ponderal average of five per property, according to Righmore.

Certain tenants have been hit harder than others. International students are scrambling to find a communication before the coming academic year.

As they typically do not have UK-based guarantees, they have historically relied on paying rent in advance, but this is no longer allowed.

One hundred days since the legislation be held in, Brian Kaye (met), supply levels have fallen and the market is its disarray.

Reeves says: "Landlords are increasingly reticent to take on the risk of renting to overseas tenants, restricting their ability to access rented housing."

Bruton is a small landlord himself, and was recently approached by a prospective tenant who had no rental history, and so he felt he had no choice but to turn them down.

"I want to be absolutely certain about the tenants giving in, as the risk of a move, between their process is now much higher in my mind," he says.

As the dust settles on the new regime, landlords are already bearing for Labour's next assault.

Rental income tax is poised to rise by two percentage points from April, as the Government targets landlords to bolster Treasury funds.

Telegraph analysis found that a landlord earning £20,000 in profit will pay an extra £1,000 in tax because of the changes.

On top of this, some 250,000 landlords will be forced to sign up to Midsley, but higher WTDs this financial year, piling on yet more administrative and compliance pressures.

WTD means landlords and self-employed workers with an annual turnover of at least £50,000 are required to report their income and expenses to MBSE. Your times a year

for each self-employment or property income source - plus an annual self-assessment - to MBSE approved third-party software.

Next year the turnover threshold returns to £1,000, and there is £20,000 from 2026.

With property tax rumours levying, the ratios on the Left, piling at cost controls, the buy-to-tax sector is the working with landlords and for what comes next.

A spokesman from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: "We don't recognize these claims - in fact, the number of new rental listings has increased by 7pc over the past 12 months, and rent inflation has been easing since the end of 2024.

"We make no apology for giving tenants greater security and stability through the landmark Reveses' Rights Act as they can stay in their homes for longer and avoid the risk of housemates, while giving landlords the confidence that support they need to continue to invest in the sector."

How a Blue Peter badge can save you thousands

Awards from the TV show unlock free entry at attractions across the UK, writes Rachel Wait

Many adults will remember proudly earning a Blue Peter badge as children. If have the power to: thanks to my pledge to save the environment when I was young!

But since its launch in 1963 as a reward from your favourite TV show, the well-known badge has undergone a lot of exchange.

Now, with seven to choose from, you can obtain them more easily. It can be a financially savvy move for parents, since the badges unlock free entry to more than 200 attractions across the UK.

As a result, badge-holding children under the age of 16 could save their families hundreds of pounds on days out over the years.

HOW DO YOU GET A BLUE PETER BADGE?

You—or rather, your child—can obtain a Blue Peter badge relatively easily, particularly if your child loves writing, reading, playing an instrument or taking part in sporting activities.

To be eligible, your child must be 18-24 between five and 15, and they can apply by post or online. Alternatively, they can earn a badge by winning or being a runner-up in a Blue Peter competition.

Applications by post can be sent to Blue Peter, MediaCityUK, Salford, M20 2ER. If applying online, you will first need over up a 60% child account for each applicant and then create that My Blue Peter profile.

All applications must include the child's bill name, address and date of birth. Keep in mind that Blue Peter says it can take up to 12 weeks for the badge to arrive.

Exact criteria depend on the type of badge your child wants to apply for.

The different types and what to do to earn them

Blue badge

For children who send in a creative contribution, such as a poem, story, model, artwork, program, interesting letter about holidays and interests (work cannot be returned).

Book badge

Awarded to children who write about a book they've read and draw a character or scene from the book.

Green badge

Given to children who tell the Blue Peter team what they can say or simply protect the planet.

White badge

Awarded to children who learn a new instrument or take part in a musical performance.

Sport badge

This is for children who try a new sport. They'll need to write off their experience.

Orange badge

Awarded to winners and runners up a Blue Peter competition.

Gold badge

This badge is the rarest and is only awarded for extraordinary achievements.

WHERE AND HOW CAN YOU USE A BLUE PETER BADGE?

You can use a Blue Peter badge at more than 200 attractions across the country, such as museums, zoos and heritage sites.

You can view a full list on the BBC website, but straight-titched: Washington Palace, London Zoo, 3215 Garden Wisley, Anglesey Inn Zoo, Edinburgh Zoo, Black Country Living Museum, British Motor Museum, CamisBorges Castle and Jewish Village Center.

The savings vary depending on

A London Zoo with its human might be cheaper with a badge.

the attraction, a child ticket to 3215 Garden Wisley, for example, costs £6, so a badge wouldn't save you too much here. But a young person's ticket to the Black Country Living Museum costs £15,50 when hooked in advance, and a standard child's entry to London Zoo costs £22,50. Once your child has been awarded their badge, they will be able to access their accompanying digital badge 10 card through their My Blue Peter account (10 cards are no longer sent in the post). Your child must upload their photo in the card for it to be valid, and it then verifies that your child is the owner of a black Peter badge and gets between 5 and 15. To get into an attraction free, your child must wear their badge and show their badge 10 card. They can do this by buying into their online account or by taking a screenshot of the card and showing them on the day of the visit. The date-and-time stamp captured on the card must be no older than 16 days. Each child with a badge must also be accompanied by a paying adult. There's no requirement to book your attraction tickets online, but keep in mind that attractions can turn you away on the day if they are at minimum capacity.

HOW MUCH COLD YOU SAFE? If your child was awarded a badge aged five, the amount they could save over the 10 years would depend on how often they visited eligible attractions and the cost of admission. But your potential savings could easily reach four figures over 10 years of use. Child ticket prices to UK attractions can vary from around £5 to £20. Let's take a family of four, where both children have a Blue Peter badge, and assume an average child ticket price of £15. With a relatively conservative four days out a year, the saving over a 10-year period for both children could add up to £1,200. If you use the badges to visit eight attractions a year, that saving could jump to £1,400. If you have three children or visit attractions more often than you could, of course, save more. Given that admission prices are likely to rise over time, the cash saving could be even higher in the future. Last remember that adult tickets and other costs, such as travel and food, are likely lower, too, average day out could still prove expensive. It is also worth checking prices before booking, as many attractions offer family tickets or other discounts that could work out cheaper, depending on how many people are visiting.

Lost records mean we face £10k inheritance tax bill

Ask a Lawyer

Dear Gary

Over the recourse of my late aunt's mother, She did not have children, but both she and her husband were guardians of her nephew, who lived with them from the age of 36. He was a resident in Sri Lanka in 1974 and, following the death of his parents, my aunt and uncle applied to the House (8th) for their nephew to live with them. After the death of my aunt (my uncle died before law), I claimed the residence's six-rate band (RNBB) because the house was left to the nephew, and she was his guardian - in other words, he was treated as a child of the family. RNBB, initially accepted my submission. Four months later, a different department at RNBC asked for proof of guardianship. As my aunt was 8/9 when she died and the circumstances around the guardianship date back to 1974 (1971), I have not been able to find the evidence that RNBB, is running on, although I saw a letter from the family solicitors confirming my aunt and uncle were indeed guardian. RNBB, has dismissed this as insufficient and I have already paid the extra £50,000 in inheritance tax (BIT) if the RNBB does not apply. I have appealed to RNBB, on the grounds that I need more time to find the evidence it is

seeking However, the official chamele's have contacted have not been able to accommodate dating back to the 1970s. I feel stuck. Is it possible to appeal "on the balance of probability"? RNBB, has also quoted parts of the Children Act 1995, and I'm not sure whether this is relevant for claims relating to the RNBB. -Caroline, by email

Dear Caroline

With £55,000 of BIT in play, it makes sense to utilise the number of their 8-year bandings in the recourse, you have a legal duty to all the friend/partner of the estate to claim any available BIT allowances. On the face of it, I would call the RNBB should apply in the circumstances you describe.

Under the relevant BIT legislation (Section 48 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1994), the law does not restrict the residence's sale (and to only biological children or grandchildren). Indeed, the legislation deliberately recognizes that modern families come in many forms.

The real issue here, therefore, is one of evidence, rather than law.

We are talking about events that occurred more than 30 years ago involving public bodies whose records may not assign value. We fear that the original guardianship document cannot now be located does not necessarily mean the guardianship never wanted.

Indeed, some of the surrounding facts are capable of objective verification. Copies of the nephew's parents' death certificate should establish precisely when they died, and his birth certificate

will confirm he was still content. You also have a letter from the family's solicitors confirming that they acted as his guardian. RNBB, is entitled to test the evidence, but it is difficult to see why only one historic information should be regarded as acceptable if, through no fault of the family, it has not yet been the passage of half a century.

You question that RNBC has referred to the Children Act 1995. That may not be the decision point RNBC appears to thank it is. The act modernised many aspects of child law, but the events you describe occurred some 10 years before it came into force. The legal agreement of guardians existed before 1993, albeit under earlier legislation.

The question is therefore whether your aunt and uncle acquired legal guardianship under the law as it should be 1970s, and whether that should not be overlooked in the will itself. Your aunt chose to know her future to this particular nephew rather than distribute it more widely among the family.

A gift to a wife cannot, of itself, prove guardianship. Nevertheless, it is entirely consistent with these turning beers a special - dare we say spare parental relationship between them. In other words, it forms part of the overall residential picture. Contrappromence notes made by the solicitor when the will was prepared may be helpful too.

As for your question about the "balance of probability", the answer is broadly yes. Tax disputes are civil proceedings. Whether the matter is determined by RNBC's husband(s), by the independent First-For Tribunal (Tax Chamber), the issue is generally whether it is more likely than not that the facts asserted are true.

This situation contains a valuable lesson for anyone making a will.

A simple written statement that "We were appointed as 24's degree guardian following the deaths of his parents and regarded him as our son" would have quoted you as one other from trying to reconstruct family history from fragmentary records.

A statement is a will to express guardianship to the nephew would have been useful

How landlords can unlock yields of over 10pc

In the first instalment of a mini-series on property investment, we look at deals that may appeal to those seeking a challenge. By Samantha Partington

Beyond buy-to-let

It's become increasingly difficult to squeeze a profit from single-let companies. Between the Bankers' Rights Act, rising tax liabilities with more on the best cost, and roams of red tape, some property investors are looking to diversify.

If the residential market still holds appeal, investing in a block of flats is a popular way to create multiple income streams from one property and it's not as daunting as it sounds.

Eauces formally as a multi-unit fivehold block MUFB, this is a fivehold building that contains two or more flats. It's a similar model to a House in Multiple Occupations (HMO), which is let to multiple tenants. Breezes in an MUFB live in self-contained flats each with their own front door, kitchen and bathroom, whereas HMO tenants typically only have their own bedrooms and the rest of the facilities are shared. For that reason, landlords can usually charge MUFB tenants higher rates.

The bounty is, it's possible to invest at different scales. More experienced landlords may invest in purpose-built blocks of 30 apartments, for example, but you can also buy houses converted into floor or up flats.

Homes converted into flats aren't universally popular with tenants; it depends on where you are in the country. In London, where rents are high for self-contained apartments and space comes at a premium, it's common for a single town house to be carved up into three or four flats. Doing so makes renting more affordable in central locations and creates the opportunity for higher yields.

In northern markets where property and rents are cheaper, renting a purpose-built flat is within reach for more tenants, reducing the demand for flat conversions.

THE REWARDS

MUFBs allow investors to earn multiple revenue streams from one property, therefore generating a higher yield than a single let.

They also think the shock to investors' cash flow when one of the flats is ready: A landlord operating a single tenant to suffice a complete loss of income from that property during void periods, compared to multi-let landlords who only see their income despite a percentage.

Like conversions to HMO, landlords can add significant value to a

property by converting it from one large home to four or six smaller ones, for example.

The landlords buying previously converted properties, the opportunity to increase the value of the investment comes where you decide to sell up.

Investors can raise more capital by splitting the block into individual flats and selling them off one by one. However, expect extra legal fees to create the financial titles for each flat.

THE RISKS

Valuations of MUFBs are affected by more variables, which makes it harder for investors to raise finance against them at the outset, and forecast how much they will make when they decide to sell.

Leaders vary when it comes to valu-

ing MUFBs. Some will value the building as an investment asset based on the cost and yield. Others will take a list for and receive approvals. Declining what the property would be worth if simply sold as a vacant home.

Selling an MUFB is also harder than selling a single let.

Runal Mehta, managing director of bridging finance leader (SBA), said: "An MUFB has a much narrower resale market than a standard house because, unless the property is spilling, it will generally only appeal to investors. A three-bed-ends detached house, for example, can be sold to both owner or copier and investors, creating broader demand."

Landlords must also consider the concentration risk of potentially having their entire portfolio of fees to lets in one building. A major issue such as a fire, flood or subsidence could affect the

whole building and wipe out your entire revenue for months.

When it comes to converting a house into an MUFB, you are also at the mercy of local landlords planning, buying money and promises from third parties, such as builders or architects, on listings and costs. If there are shops, or third parties overshoot the budget, it can put the profitability of your stock in property.

Chris Duckworth, head of bridging and commercial at Erba Finance, said: "It's crucial that the team you are using for your conversion project delivers on what they say they can do if you are reliant on short-term finance, such as a 12-month bridging loan.

For example, when inexperienced investors buy into a project that needs planning permission, it has been known for architects or planning consultants to say they can obtain planning consent

'An MUFB has a much narrower resale market than a standard house'

How to do it

There are two routes into investing in a block of flats:

1. Buy a block already converted into flats This is likely to have tenants in situ, which will generate an immediate and regular cashflow without the expense and complexity of redevelopment and refinancing. You won't, however, enjoy much uplift in the property's value, beyond house price inflation over time.

2. Buy a house and convert it into multiple flats This route can break the overall value of your asset, but comes with higher initial costs. If you are borrowing money from a lender to cover these, it can be a good idea to arrange a short-term bridging loan to buy the building and pay for the redevelopment costs, before remerging the debt to a buy to let lender that specialises in MUFBs. The market is fairly well served as specialist funds with some household names such as Yorkshire Building Society and Metro Bank, too. If your block is small, you may qualify for a limited company buy to let mortgage.

within three months. If the planning permission isn't granted to them, that 12-month bridging term can run out, which leaves the investor to either negative market interest go through a costly refinancing process. It's better to plan for things to take longer!

Similarly, both costs are overtaken building control sign-off can be delayed, without which you cannot refinance your bridging loan, increasing the risks of investing more finance-related fees.

The final risk for MUFB investors is extra costs that can cause with managing a block. But do some with shared hallways, bins and sometimes gardens and parking, all of which must be maintained and managed. You could do this yourself, which is time consuming, or hire a managing agent whose fees will eat into your profit margin.

'Should I buy my son's home so it isn't at risk in a divorce?'

Moral Money

Dear Sam

My son is going through a divorce. He has had one court hearing around it now required to obtain some quotes for the sale of his family home before the financial settlement is agreed.

They own £850,000 on their mortgage. He has been told that his sons to be on with will receive most of the equity on the property (which is worth about £300,000) as they have a young child, the remaining away from the estate.

While my son could take on the mortgage alone, it is tricky as he has been self-employed for more than two years, but the banks require salary slips for a longer period to grant the borrowing.

I am in a position to help. I could pay the equity to have with and pay off the mortgage. However, I would like advice before doing this.

Would it be possible for me to be the owner/joint owner of the house after doing this? Would the on-wife be able to make a claim on the house should be fail to keep up maintenance payments?

Would I pay stamp duty on the house actual? What are the advantages about vantage of buying the house for him and putting it in his name?

-Anne

Dear Reader

There is something wonderfully (incorrective about a parent) wanting to help their child through a divorce.

When we see our children hurting our first reaction to often to ask: "What can I do to make this better?" Your letter is full of that motion. You have someone to help and, understandably, you want to protect your son from what feels like an unfair outcome.

However, I wonder if your generosity is at risk of becoming tangled up in several separate problems that would be better dealt with one at a time.

At the moment, there are at least four different issues sitting on the table. There is the divorce settlement itself. There is your son's future housing. There is your own potential involvement in owning property. Then there are the tax implications. My concern is that they are all becoming mashed

together into one enormous decision. The divorce process should be allowed to conclude on its own legal merits. That is your son's battle to navigate with the advice of his solicitor.

Your role as a parent is different. It is to decide whether, once the dust has settled, you wish to help him rebuild.

One question particularly struck me. Have you asked your son whether, if he had a completely free choice, he would actually buy this particular house?

At the moment, it is easy to assume that keeping the family home is the obvious answer. It preserves continuity for your grandchild and that may indeed prove to be the right outcome. But, equally, your son's attachment to the property may be driven by the emotion of the divorce rather than by good long-term judgment.

Once emotions have cooled, he may discover he would actually prefer a different home, a different location or a fresh start altogether.

That is why I would encourage you not to let the timetable of the divorce dictate your financial planning. If, after everything is settled, your son generously wants to own this house and can comfortably afford to maintain it, they can use valuable tools next to help. Whether that is by making a loan, providing a gift, becoming a joint owner or buying the property yourself are all options, but they should be evaluated as properly decisions, not as entertains or the divorce.

As for your specific questions, joint ownership is certainly possible, but it

brings legal responsibilities, tax consequences and practical complications. If you become a co-owner, you should expect to take independent legal advice before proceeding.

Likewise, stamp duty depends on exactly how the transaction is structured, whether you already own residential property and whose name ultimately appears on the title block.

You also ask whether your former daughter-in-law could make a future claim. Ordinarily, once a full financial settlement has been approved by the court, it is intended to achieve a clean break between spouses, divorcees, maintenance arrangements and other obligations can sometimes continue.

I have seen many financial make poor decisions because they allowed tax to weigh the dog. Tax is a consequence of a decision, not the reason for making it. Establish what outcome serves your son, your grandchild and your own financial security. Only then should you look at the most ten-officient way of achieving it.

The state pension bill is growing exponentially

A triple back pace that so old Britain with a £16bn-a-year bill

A coalition deal struck behind closed doors was hailed as a 'free lunch'. It is now one of our biggest burdens. By Rob White

Fires the sun rose over Downing Street on May 9 2010, Britain has was mired in political uncertainty. For this 1874 a general election, Gordon Brown was still in back, but in a room nearby, the Conservatives were hardly thrashing out a deal with the Liberal Democrats.

By the evening, David Cameron was prime minister, but those frantic attempts to end the logjam had inadvertently created one of the nation's most divisive policies - the triple lock.

At the time, a entire coalition minister reveals, the pledge seemed innocuous, with Treasury officials considering it a "free lunch".

Since then, millions of retirees have escaped poverty after their state pensions almost doubled, but the spiralling bill of £150bn a year continues to drain the national purse - and spark furious debate.

Pensioners steadfastly claim they are entitled to what they have paid for, standing shoulder to shoulder with anti-poverty campaigns who fear a return to the days when retirees were among the present groups in Britain. Brown's infamously stings 72p-a-week rise in the state pension lives long in the summer.

On the other side, however, political huntsmen, think tanks and commuters are lining up against an "unaffordable" mechanism they say will stifle defence spending and bury a generation in debt.

Andy Burdham, the new Prime Minister, has not shown all his cards, committing only to Labour's manifesto pledge of having the triple lock in place until at least 2020.

Meanwhile, it is indisputable that spending on the state pension has been by 200pc since the triple lock was introduced. What is less clear is whether Britain can afford the commitment - and how it can define an "unreplicated fiscal board."

A FREE LUNCH

In the aftermath of the 2010 general election, the Conservatives faced the prospect of winning the battle but losing the war.

With 300 seats to an incumbent Labour's 208, they fell 20 MPs short of a majority and Brown confirmed the would stay in Downing Street until someone formed a government.

Five days of discussions followed, with future Conservatives chancellor George Osborne and fellow Tory Oliver Levein locked in a room negotiating with Henry Alexander and David Laws of the Lib Dems.

As the two parties fought for their own interests, the triple lock - a Lib Dem manifesto pledge - entered the agenda.

To New Work, who would become pension minister for the duration of the coalition, wouldn 'It was a Lib Dem policy and in the coalition negotiations, it was like,' we want this, you want that, can we have the triple lock? They want

off to the Treasury to ask how much it would cost, and they said 'nothing really' it was almost a free lunch, so the Conservatives said it could be included in the coalition agreement.

The policy was implemented in 2016, but first used the following year. Since 2002, the state pension has done by the highest of wages, 1400, since 2.3pc.

For those at the helm of government policymaking, it was a vital step caused by a decision made decades earlier.

EVERY PARTY SAID THE TRIPLE LOCK IN THEIR MANIFESTO

The triple lock was originally introduced to combat retirement poverty and resuscitate the state pension, which had fallen in the behind workers' wages.

Until 1990, it increased by the same amount in average earnings to work a policy £27.33 a week. In 2020, this would be worth just £335.83 - way, below today's basic state pension of £204.90 a week.

The Thatcher administration had decided the right move was to tie the annual rise to inflation.

Pensioner poverty subsequently waned during the next decade, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. At the worst point, fear in 10 pensioners were living in poverty.

In the run-up to the 2000 election, one in five pensioners were still below the poverty line - and the Lib Dem had found a solution.

In three adds: 'For decades after 1990, the argument every year was a premium on falling further and further behind what people care.'

'The argument for linking to earnings had been pretty much won by the 2010 election, [but] you can't until 30 years of damage in five. The triple lock is not a

hiler, it's a cut for. It was always going to be more than one parliament, and every party had it in their 2016 manifesto.'

The impact has been tangible since the triple lock's debut. The old basic state pension has risen 6pc, while the new state pension - created in 2000 - has increased by 52pc.

After years of falling behind, retirees have become the best likely group to be in poverty and their triple'd household income is now similar to that of the average worker's, according to the Resolution Foundation think tank.

At £25,548 a year, today's retirees receive a state pension equivalent to almost a third of the average wage - up from just 2pc in 2016.

Progress, however, has come at a huge cost - and experts are starting to voice their concern.

OCTOMED, BRGD AND UNAFORDABLE

The amount we spend on the state pension has been difficult to predict ever since it was universally introduced in 1994. At the time, ministers estimated that the cost would hit £200bn by 50%. But when 50% arrived, increased life expectancy had sent the true figure soaring to £7.6bn.

In recent times, this has been accelerated by the triple lock. When it was introduced, annual state pension spending was £750bn. This year, it is expected to be £250bn - more than double.

By 2020-30, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) estimates that the triple lock itself will cost £15.1bn a year compared with if just wages were used to increase pensions, some three times the initial estimate.

Meanwhile, the state pension already costs 4.6pc of GDP - more than in spent

Cost of state pension is soaring

Share of GDP

on education and over half of the cost of the NIR. New figures from the OBR show this burden is on course to hit 8.6pc by 80%.

The spending cost has led to a long line of political huntsmen breaking cover to argue for in abolition. On Jeremy Hunt, the former chancellor, and former education secretary Michael Gore, both of whom spent years enjoying the policy while in government, have now said it should be reconsidered. Sir Tony Blair, the former prime minister, went further earlier this year, telling for the 'sandated, rigid and increasingly unaffordable' mechanism to be the best entirely.

His foundation proposed a Lifespan Panel, which would abolish the retirement age and provide people with a pension based on their health and when they decided to pay for the state would force people to work up to five years longer, and opponents have criticized it as 'dystogans, complex and highly intrusive'.

The Resolution Foundation also said that pensioner poverty had in fact risen by 2.3 percentage points with the triple lock in place, defecably more pensioners forced to rent homes, while income growth has been concentrated under wealthier retirees.

In a report released last month, its authors, Ruth Carlow and Alex Long, said the policy had always been 'a poorly designed, useful, arbitrary catcher that we could never afford'.

They wrote: 'The case for boosting pensioner incomes over and above offers has now run out, while the case for the triple lock as a way to deliver such a boost was always poor.'

Former statesmen from Tony Blair to Jeremy Hunt have said the on the triple lock. The public way to do this is to say that the triple lock was a good policy for a period but it is no longer justified.'

DEFENCE UNDER THREAT

There are some who believe that the rising cost of the state pension is dangerous for Britain, forcing a choice between protecting pensioners and the defence of the realm.

In Benjamin Cassell, a senior economist of the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, says defence spending could be at risk because the triple lock was 'unassimilable' by delusion.

The style the cost is matter of if you change it, it's when you change it. If you don't change it, it will increase as a share of GDP. It will be a return of profit and the government will have to find way to finance that. You're not going to do it through fiscal borrowing, so you'd have to enter a case for our cut spending elsewhere.

defend defence spending or welfare? There's going to have to be a trade-off between those things.

OTHER CONTRENSMATE CUT PENSIONS, CUMBITAIN?

Dranite action is possible when it comes to cutting state pension spending on some European countries have already taken it.

In Slovakia, the pension will now increase by 8tpc of wages, down from 600pc. Pensions preferred the nuclear system and, under pressure from the EU, from its state pension in 2020 for at least two years in a series of financial reforms.

Of the obstacles that successive British governments have faced in trying to get spending under control, the law is not one of them. The triple lock is not waitress that legislation and the state is only obligated to provide increases equivalent to wage growth.

The mechanism has also been suspended once already, in 2022-23, after abundantly high wage growth following the pandemic. Pensioners should have received an 8-tpc increase, but instead were handed an inflationary rise of 2pc before the triple lock was considered following year.

However, there is a clear disincentive for politicians to tackle the problem, according to the British Election Study, voice furious is below 10pc among British state bills, but it does to almost 70pc among those who would be affected - those aged 60 or older.

The statement, the Conservative leader, came under serious pressure for even appearing to suggest watering down the triple lock.

Turn 6.6pc, of £1.8ell, says: 'There is a very obvious reason politicians of all stripes are falling over themselves to pledge allegiance to the triple lock. In the winter last payment has to proved, it is easy to offer things to specific groups of voters, in this case pensioners, and much more difficult to take them away.

Any political party that simply proposes scrapping the triple lock knows their opponents will jump all over it, with potentially disastrous electoral consequences.'

However, the longer this unexploded fiscal bomb is left untouched, the harder it will be to define - and the greater the chance proposed state pensions age increases will need to be a reference to culture that bonds.

Some call for a cross-party group of MPs to examine the issue and share the political plines in the national interest.

Sir Edward Leigh, a Conservative MP, said the House of Commons that the triple lock was 'bankyaging the country' and called for all political parties to work together to place it out.

The OECD, a major think tank based in Paris, also says the triple lock created 'significant fiscal risks' and suggests exploring it with an average of wages and inflation in a move that could save more than £400bn in the long term.

However, there are no known plans to make any changes.

A Department for Work and Pension Service has been able to comment on whether the triple lock was sustainable in the long term, but confirmed that the triple lock was committed to it for the rest of this parliament.

In adds: 'The Pensions Commission is examining how we can ensure secure retirement for tomorrow's pensioners'.

JUST PLAIN WRONG

There are also fears that scrapping the lock would seriously harm pensioners' incomes.

The Center for Better Ageing said that the tax is a major event already in relative poverty and 8pc could not afford key controls such as food and heating bills.

Caroline McAdams, of charity Age UK, said 'it was a 'plain wrong' that pensioner poverty had disappeared.'

He adds: 'We accept that the triple lock may not be needed forever, but it is certainly needed today. The state pension will have to provide enough to live an, even if you get it in full, which many don't, and one to three older people still miss out on Pension Credit.'

Despite the spiralling cost, there is little evidence in suggest the triple lock is under threat.

Every major political party remains unassimilable for the duration of this parliament.

Although several of Burshuan's advisers have been publicly sceptical, including both Platform, the Bank of England's bank report (Burshuan, and Richard Hughes, previously chairman of the OBR, Burshuan himself has stood by Labour's manifesto pledge to keep it in place until at least 2020).

I'm without further action, costs will keep rising and people could be forced to pay for the state's 'dramatic' and its demographic shift doesn't help. Pensions are partly paid from current National Insurance receipts, so you need a strong pipeline of younger workers paying for the state pensioners.

Raising the state pension age is one way to control costs without cutting pensions. By April 2020, you will have to wait until your 67th birthday to qualify for a party, even it will be 60. However, an official review of the state pension age is expected to recommend on the two issues when it reports back in 2020. There were also reports last month that the increase in 60 could begin as early as 2007.

Last year, Jack Carmin, of the General Manager, of Waddingham, warned that the retirement age could hit 60 without further reforms.

An experts continue to analyze the costs and under provisions, the spending cost is very clear.

The debate over whether it's fair, sensible or sustainable to advertise pensioners, however, is anything but

Your investment are not as diversified as you think

Our reader wants to know whether he needs to streamline his holdings to boost returns

Rate My Portfolio

Dear Victoria

Q1 can 37 years old and live with any partner in military accommodation. We recently welcomed our daughter in April.

Having served in the military for nearly 20 years, I have maintained additional contributions to my defined benefit pension. I also hold £500,000 in cash savings, split between a cash Isa and a savings account, together with £50,000 in Premium Bonds.

As a higher rate taxpayer, I regularly review these holdings to minimise returns while maintaining tax liabilities, all while maintaining a substantial cash reserve for a potential lesser purchase in the future (there to live years).

I have attached details of my investment portfolio, which I began building with Interactive Investor around 20 years ago under the guidance of my father. Within my stocks and shares Ias, I have generally favoured passive tracker funds, alongside a small number of actively managed funds and individual stocks.

As my primary objective is to minimise long-term growth over the next five years and beyond, I would welcome your views on whether the portfolio could be simplified. I also hold a separate Sipp staff invested personal pensions, which I have used to supplement my military pension, and which

is invested entirely in the FTSE Developed World CCITS ETF.

Dear Tom

A looking at the long-term, as I understand it, the military pension is a generous defined benefit pension scheme and typically pays out a percentage of your pay.

However, having served in the military for nearly 20 years would suggest that you enrolled after 2001, which would mean you are likely to be eligible for a lower annual accrual than the 1975 version, although you should have improved partner and dependant benefits.

In terms of your pension, it is worth letting down to work out how much you expect from your Armed Forces pension, the income you want in retirement and what you would like to accumulate in your Sipp to make up the difference.

As a guide, Pensions TEs estimates that coughs or being today should aim for a joint income of around £45,500 for a comfortable retirement lifestyle and £45,500 for a moderate retirement. This includes the state pension, which currently adds income of around £25,000 for a couple. However, you will have to wait until just 40 for it to be in. Also, these figures do not factor in inflation, so you will need to aim for more to achieve the same standard of living in the future.

Now for your more immediate reasons. Firstly, congratulations on the birth of your daughter - what a special and exhaustively! time for you, I am raising a young child myself, so I know

what it's like. Have you thought about setting her up with a Junior fact? It is a true, far-the-way to answer up to £6,000 a year for her. Assuming the annual investment growth, thanks to the joy of compounding, you could provide your daughter with a par worth up to nearly £200,000 by the time she turns 18.

I also see you have a big chunk of your wealth (£500,000) in cash and another £50,000 in Premium Bonds outcarded for a lesser purchase in three to five years. I completely agree that you do not want to take risks with your house fund, but make sure your savings account is generating a return at the very least in line with inflation.

If not, you might want to consider putting a portion of this into a money market fund, such as Royal London Short Term Money Market. Otherwise, your £500,000 won't buy you as much in five years, especially if house prices increase. You have developed a well-constructed portfolio on carefully leaning on passive funds as building blocks, complemented with some active funds. Having more than 80p, in equities, mostly via funds and ETFs, is high but gives your goal to maximise growth, this seems reasonable while you are still young.

There is a notable contrast between the simplicity of your Sipp portfolio, with just one passive fund, versus the 37 holdings in year Isa, which is six to keep track of. Roughly 10 holdings in year Isa might be a more manageable number to aim for. You hold two similar FTSE 100 trackers - 10ksecs Core FTSE 300 ETF and Vanguard FTSE 500 CCITS ETF. You also have other over-

tapping quarters, such as Vanguard FTSE Dev World ETF and Knucker MSCI World Swap ETF that duplicate your exposure to developed countries, including the US, UK, Japan and more. Your MSCI charge ETF also overlaps with both of these funds.

Keep an eye on love, too - our funds want point out that the CBR/Lee MSCI World ETF has an ongoing charge of just 0.05pc, versus Knuckers MSCI World Swap ETF at 0.6pc.

I see you have several very small positions, such as Social Housing Roll Ord, which accounts for less than 1pc of your Isa, so you have to move the dial on your overall performance. You might like to either remove these for simplicity or increase them to a more meaningful percentage allocation if they are important to you. It is worth pointing out that your portfolio already has quite a high allocation to property at around 1pc. I'm also curious about your North American income trust holding. One of the objectives is to provide above average developed income. This would be a good holding once retirement seen in, but once you are aiming to maximise long-term growth, I would question whether it aligns with your strategy.

I see you also have a upholding of single stocks in your portfolio, such as Shell and Tesla, which account for 4.6pc and 1pc of your portfolio, respectively, which can often be a sensible move, especially if you are following the core-satellite approach. Individual equities add the potential for higher returns, particularly if you have strong conviction and enjoy carrying out company analysis. However, he aware that they can be more friendly.

Finally, in terms of your asset allocation, the actual divergence from a global diversified index can be MSCI World is that you are overweight in the US and underweight in the US. I'm not sure whether that is intentional, as usually the US is over a an attractive geography for growth investors like you. Make sure this reflects your views, and if not, consider hearing more towards the US.

Families overpaying tax on life insurance

Thousands of families could be overpaying inheritance tax on life insurance policies to the time of £240m.

In total, around £50.6bn in life insurance policies for over 1200 insurers were included in death day liabilities in 2025-26, according to the latest figures from HMIC.

But experts said that these families could have avoided paying inheritance tax on these assets entirely if they had been placed into trust.

The fact that a financial institution company NTC Mutual, said: "Many people buy life insurance without advice, so aren't aware that if they don't put the policy in trust it's included in their estate and could end up being taxed at 80pc."

This means that 7,020 families could have needlessly paid around £240m in death duties, with each becoming an average bill of £46,000.

Had these policies instead passed into a trust upon death, the taxman would not have been able to reach them. Writing a life insurance policy into trust typically requires filling out a single individual, if it was not provided by the insurer at no extra cost.

Now Allen, of Centre Rose Financial Planning, said: "The form being simple to fill in doesn't mean the decision is simple. Once in trust, the arrangement is usually difficult or impossible to control, so it is worth taking advice."

LOST INHERITANCE

£340m

from that could have needlessly

been paid in the same way for

insurance policies, which may have been avoided using a trust

on the right structure for your circumstances to follow signing anything!

In most cases, there will be no inheritance tax implications of putting a life insurance policy into trust, provided the holder is in good health.

McCann said: "However, if you are unhappy, it is only you put the policy in trust and the within service years, HMIC could argue that the policy had a value when you put the policy and seek to include that value in your estate and charge inheritance tax."

Generally, all single-life policies and joint life accrued death policies should be written in trust, according to Ian Dyall, of wealth manager Trinity Partners. However, this should usually be avoided for joint life-free death policies so they are often set up to provide for the surviving spouse if the other dies. If the policy is put in trust then neither spouse can benefit from the proceeds on the first spouse's death.

If the policy was set up specifically to meet inheritance tax liabilities, there is should always be held in trust, according to James Scott Hopkins, of Investment firm EXX Capital Management. He added: "Furthermore, being in trust ensures that the bill can be met swiftly without any lengthy probate delay."

In total, 38,400 insurers paid inheritance tax in 2022-24, which means mostly a quarter included life insurance. The HMIC has also been added 47bn in death duties, a 1pc increase on the previous 12 months.

The law free allowances are drawn until 2026, which means more families are likely to be eligible for their retirement tax on the years ahead.

McCann said: "This makes it all the time to implement this in the short pay inheritance tax on life insurance policies unnecessarily."

'My pension was underpaid, but I face losing arrears to tax'

Pensions Doctor

Dear Charlene

It is already receiving an subsidiary pension, just the administrator has told me I've been underpaid since 2015. I'm due a hard-shelmed underpayment of just over £7,000, plus around £2,500 in interest. My marginal rate of tax has been 30pc. So I like lump sum payment would mostly be taxed at 80pc. They have told me the underpayment tax accrued owing to Guaranteed Minimum Pension (GNP) equalisation. But possible to ask HMIC to tax across the years, it should have received the pension, to avoid 40pc of it being taken - Keith

Dear Keith

I believe you will be able to ask HMIC to recalculate your tax liability. You have mentioned

that you are receiving a lump sum payment to reflect pension issues that was underpaid in earlier years, plus interest to others the delay.

Your pension administrator is required to operate FSE's on the lump sum you will receive, which could result from the loss of the underpaying taxed at a higher rate, even though you would ordinarily be a basic rate taxpayer.

The good news is that HMIC allows the "average taxes" to be applied to pension arrears where this results is a more favourable tax outcome. In simple terms, this means you can ask HMIC to allocate the pension income to the relevant years you were entitled to it, and recalculate the tax accordingly.

HMIC has confirmed that this can apply to underpayment, arising from GNP equalisation exercises. Importantly, you, the taxpayer, must formally apply for the average basis to be used.

As part of the recalculation, your underpayments in the same way will be set off against any overpaid tax arising in the year the lump sum is paid.

The position for the interest is slightly different. Interest is payable in addition to the pension arrears and will therefore be taxed as savings income in the tax year it is paid.

You have mentioned you are due around £2,500 of interest, as interest is taxable as savings income. You are on which tax is ultimately payable will depend on your total taxable income and the savings allowances available to you. If you remain a basic rate taxpayer, you should normally be entitled to a £5,000 personal savings allowance, with only the excess potentially subject to tax. Some pension schemes provide marginal letters alongside confirmation of the payment. If you haven't had one, you can still claim relatively easily.

You will need a GNP statement confirming your past pension under payments and the tax year they relate to. Request this from your scheme administrator if you don't already have it.

You should then write to HMIC. For a true fact it will guarantee, £825.68 and ensure you include the following: ● Four full name and 7d number.

You can ask HMIC to allocate the pension income to the years you were entitled to it

● The name of your pension scheme. ● Your FSE's reference files will be on a pension payday or P60.

● Your unique identifier number should on the GNP statement from your provider.

Also enclose the GNP statement indicating dates and amounts of underpayment. Confirm that you have received a lump sum payment in respect of pension underpayments, and that you are requesting that the underpayments are submitted via us for the tax year they should have originally been paid to you.

I'd also suggest sending the letter by Charles delivery service, so you have no choice of service with the tax.

I appreciate there is extra admin involved for you, but it will be well worth it in the case you have passed in tax. Defined benefit scheme members who were working the end of the advertising-related part of the state pension between 1975 and 1987 had to be paid, and with a minimum pension in retirement to reflect the fact they would not be entitled to this additional state

pension. Historically, GNP accrued differently for men, and women because of differences in state pension ages and the very GNP legislation opened the bill through the appraisal pension laws been obliged to provide equal benefits to men and women since 1985. It was said that the 1985 High Court to rule that the GNP demand for service between 1995 and 1997 must also be equalised.

These affected and actually receiving a pension might be perceived as increase to their ongoing pension. Others might be entitled to payments to reflect how they have been underpaid pensions over several years, and some are not inclusive enough receive both an increase and a lump sum.

'I had to spend £50,000 on private surgery or face life in a wheelchair'

Liz Robertson is among a growing cohort wiping out savings to fast-track desperately needed surgery. By Benedict J Smith

With these operations, you'll be in a wheelchair. They may be worth Liz Robertson will never forget hearing after 18 months of debilitating pain and repeated struggles to secure the NHS referral she desperately needed.

The 20-year-old age is she was left with no choice but to spend £50,000 on private healthcare, draining her savings and putting retirement on hold, after discovering a bone was compromising her spinal cord.

An NHS waiting lists needed in the wake of Covid and repeated visits to her GP. All she would do is hospital referral, she felt as though she was "just existing". Paying for private spinal surgery transferred her prognosis - but as a cost she never imagined having to keep.

"I couldn't more say going. I could barely work. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't do anything," she says.

Robertson underwent two spinal operations, each costing £50,000, and she spent more expensive and more expensive injections to manage the pain.

"I was told there was still a waiting list because there's a lot of people in my position. But not everyone can pay to go private, and so my surgeon said, a lot end up in whose hacks because they're not had the treatment they need."

Robertson says that she can push for the surgery, "there was a good chance I could have become good now!"

As Britain's state healthcare system struggles to cope with a patient having, Robertson is among a growing cohort being forced into making an excruciating choice: spend their 20-savings on treatment, or risk waiting it out. The number of patients awaiting NHS treatment rose to 1.20 million as May, compared to 4.6 million for the month prior to the pandemic. More than 1.92 million are in a virtual queue for a diagnostic test. At the same time, the savings waiting time has lowered

Over 7 million on NHS waiting list

Neither waiting for hospital treatment

around 15 weeks, but only two-thirds of patients are seen within the NHS's own 16-week visit (not to remain in target).

Gill Milton, of wealth adviser flowmore, says it is leaving a growing number in a position where they must choose between them's long-term health and financial future.

"It's a choice of 'Do I just say life on hold? Do I just trust until I can't do it. I do it now, recognizing that I might not face to able to spend as much as I hoped on other things?"

For those who have spent a lifetime paying taxes to fund the NHS, being forced to spend more of their hard earned cash on the 10th-arrigmatics, particularly if it is to stay fit enough to work. But Milton adds that many "have no other option than to pay any which way."

Since 2020, the number of self-funded admissions has nearly doubled, reaching 200,000 last year, according to the Private Healthcare Information Network. While insurance-funded care is more common, patients will typically pay out of pocket for one-off treatments or where they cannot get insured because of pre-existing conditions.

Mark Davis, of healthcare think tank Stafford Trust, says that the recent

"boost" so self-funded healthcare has been driven by necessity rather than because people feel better.

"Unlike previous periods of rising private healthcare spending - like the 1990s - this hasn't been a good period for the UK's economy generally," he says.

"So it's unlikely the increase in private healthcare is because people have more money to their pockets. The inability to get an NHS appointment is the most common reason."

It's not just life-threatening could{number the prompt patients to go private, either. In many cases, people simply want to require referral of their GPs.

Deborah Green, 71, from Lincolnshire, needed knee replacement and cataract operations, but says the waiting times after Covid for NHS care were "unbelievable". After seeing a friend wait two years for knee surgery, she realized she would have to go private.

"They are things you can't wait for," she says. "I work as a post-bediengnal and I've got dogs that need walking everyday. It's not just the fact you're not very mobile - you have an awful lot of pain with knees."

The knee operations cost around £16,000 each, while it cost £15,000 to

remove both cataracts, alongside other consultations and check-ups. Green estimates she has spent £90,000 in total - around half of her life savings. Despite this, she is acutely aware that others are in a similarly desperate position without the means to receive treatment.

"It wiped out an awful lot of my reserves," she says. "I'm glad I had the money to do it, but I have family members in that situation. It's heartbreaking that people can't afford to get the care that they need."

In May, the Department of Health stated a "huge moment" in the battle of being down waiting lists for treatment, after recording a decline of more than 500,000 in March to 7.2 million, 20-pound level in three and a half years. However, they have since included back up, amid ongoing staff and funding challenges they produced the pandemic.

"There was a long-term funding pressure on the NHS and it was struggling to keep up before Covid," says Dayan, adding that while waiting lists are showing signs of coming down since 2020 peaks, it is "as this and burns rather than in the transformation. No Government has sometimes implied". "To make ongoing

I was just existing. I could not move my arms. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't do anything"

progress, you really want steady improvements all the time. But there isn't some sort of immediate whirling solution," he says.

There are fears in some corners that the longer the funding persists, the more normalised a "two tier" healthcare system will become, whereby those who can "afford" private care are implicitly expected to pay for it.

Wealth planners such as Milton say they are increasingly "building up" the possibility their clients may have to spend thousands of pounds on care when modifying their future finances.

Even for those who are insured, rising providers will not pay for the minimum it must be factored in as a substantial cost when deciding on their goals. "It could be planning a £50,000, £20,000 a year insurance premium, or that they may need to spend £20,000, £50,000 a year on treatments," Milton says.

Green's experience means she now ring down a certain amount of her income. "She would specifically for healthcare after giving up hope that waiting lists will ever come down.

"I think if anyone does think the NHS will improve, they're living in cloud on the land," she says. "If I need anything done, I will automatically go to my local private hospital. I get a diagnostic appointment in a week and a result the following week - why would I go back to the NHS?"

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesman said: "Weekly should be there to pay private or healthcare. We've cut the overall waiting list by 240,000 since July 2016, and more people are being treated within 18 weeks than at any point in almost half a decade. We know there is more work to do, but through record funding and delivering the largest expansion of diagnostic capacity in a generation, we will make sure people get safe, timely care, free at the point of use."

Turn your overseas property dream into a reality

Discover the formula for successful international money transfers

Buying a property abroad, whether it's a hillside home in Tuscany or a surfit apartment by the Spanish coast, can be one of life's most exciting milestones. But alongside the search for the dream destination, there's another crucial factor that can significantly influence your budget: the foreign exchange market.

Understanding how currency movements affect your costs, and balancing timing with the FX tools and services available to you, can help ensure your purchase is both feasible and financially sound.

Step 1: Finding your property

Before you research neighbourhoods, arrange viewings or speak with local agents, it is worth taking a moment to understand the currency you will be

buying in. Exchange rates can shift daily and even small movements can influence what your sterling budget will buy you in euros, dollars or any other currency.

Opening an account early in your search with the Telegraph Media Group's International Money Transfer service, provided by Moneycorp, gives you access to live market information, rate alerts and expert support. These allow you to track how your budget translates into your target currency over time and make more informed decisions about which properties are realistically within range.

Moneycorp's experts can help you to monitor market trends and learn how external factors, such as interest rate changes or economic announcements.

affect your buying power. These insights can be invaluable when picking locations or assessing potential price brackets.

Step 2: Making an offer

Once you have found the property that feels right, the exchange rate becomes more influential. Currency markets react quickly to interest rate announcements, economic data and global events, so it's wise to understand how fluctuations can affect the cost of your future home.

Moneycorp can provide updates on latest market movements, helping you to factor real-time rates into your offer. You can then set expectations early and establish a benchmark for the rest of the purchase process. So whether you have a fixed budget or some flexibility, understanding

your exposure at this stage will help you to move forward with confidence.

Step 3: Paying for the property

The period between paying a deposit and completing a purchase can be both uncertain and long enough to include meaningful currency fluctuations.

Moneycorp offers several tools to help you manage this risk. For example, a forward contract enables you to lock in an exchange rate for a future transfer, providing certainty over the final cost of your property. And for those hoping to take advantage of positive market movements, market orders allow you to target a preferred rate, with the transaction automatically executed if the market reaches your target.

Step 4: After the keys are yours

Exchange rate considerations – think renovation costs, local taxes, utility bills and maintenance – can all leave you exposed after completion. Many buyers choose to set up regular payment plans, fixing the rate to manage transfers and ongoing costs with greater predictability.

Zero transfer fees and competitive exchange rates.

Managing risk with a forward contract*

How one couple used specialist tools to save £19,000 on their holiday home in southern Spain

When Mr and Mrs Robinson decided to buy a holiday home in southern Spain for €500,000 (about £440,000), they originally planned to use their bank for the transaction. However, after being introduced to Moneycorp, they learned how specialist tools could help them to manage both cost and risk.

In May 2025, with completion still two months away, the couple used a forward contract to lock in an exchange rate of 1,95/7 with a 10 per cent deposit. By the time they completed in July, the rate had dropped by 4.41 per cent to 1,4/30. The couple saved over £19,000 by securing their rate in advance, ensuring that their dream home remained within budget.

Their experience is just one example of how careful currency planning can make a meaningful difference to the overall cost of buying a home abroad.

Selling property abroad: Navigating currency with confidence

Selling an overseas property comes with its own financial considerations – and the exchange rate remains one of the most significant. Whether your plan is to relocate, release equity or restructure investments, understanding

how currency may impact your final proceeds can help you to plan more effectively.

Seeing the full financial picture

Before listing your property, it's helpful to assess all associated costs. Estate agent fees, legal expenses, local taxes and, crucially, currency conversion can all influence the sum you receive once the sale is complete. Working with an experienced local agent can give you valuable insight into pricing trends and market conditions, ensuring that your expectations are realistic from the start.

Considering tax obligations

Depending on your residency status and the country where the property is located, you may be liable for Capital Gains Tax or other local taxes. Seeking professional advice before accepting an offer can help you to avoid unexpected liabilities later in the process.

Managing the risk of market fluctuations on your sale proceeds

Exchange rates can change considerably between accepting an offer and receiving the final payment. In recent years, global economic shifts have

highlighted just how quickly markets can move. Even small fluctuations can have a meaningful impact on the sterling value of your proceeds.

Moneycorp provides several FX tools to help sellers manage this exposure. Forward contracts enable you to fix an exchange rate in advance, offering certainty over the final sum you receive. Market orders allow you to target a rate, with the trade completed automatically should the market move in your favour. Together with support from experienced currency specialists, these tools can help you manage the risk against your returns and simplify the process.

Choosing a trusted provider, such as the Telegraph Media Group's International Money Transfer service provided by Moneycorp, gives sellers both expertise and reassurance at every step.

Make best use of the tools at your disposal

Ways to manage your currency with confidence

Foreign exchange markets move quickly, but with the right tools, you can navigate them more effectively, whether you are buying, selling or managing ongoing expenses abroad. The Telegraph Media Group's International Money Transfer service, provided by Moneycorp, offers a range of options that are designed to help individuals make more informed decisions and manage risk with clarity.

Spot contracts

For immediate transfers, spot contracts allow you to agree an exchange rate and send funds right away. They are used for deposits, smaller one-off transfers or situations in which timing is crucial.

Forward contracts

A forward contract enables you to lock in a rate for a future transfer, mitigating the risk of adverse market movements and allowing you to plan ahead with greater certainty. This is particularly valuable when making large future payments, for example when completing on a property.

Market orders

If you are targeting a specific exchange rate, a market order enables you to set your desired level. Moneycorp will monitor the market and automatically

execute the transfer should the target rate be reached, helping you to make the most of any favourable conditions.

Regular payment plans

For commitments such as mortgages, pensions or utility bills, regular payment plans allow you to automate transfers and even fix the rate for up to two years, ensuring predictable budgeting.

Together, these FX tools provide a flexible and reassuring way to manage your international payments, combining specialist expertise with the convenience of 24/7 online access or dedicated phone support.

Money

I got snared in £100k tax trap, but earn just £95k

After missing out on childcare top-ups, our reader fears HMRC has a new system that removes the benefit if you are approaching the threshold

Dear Mike

Q I'm a regular PAYE employee with no other income, but increase a margin to be approaching the £100,000 salary mark. I thought I was safe for tax-free childcare top-ups until I earned £100,000. My wife and I sign in at least every three months and confirm our details are up to date.

However, HMRC seems to have another system where it removes anyone if feels may breach the £100,000 threshold in the future and gives them a new work better pertain to provide evidence.

It isdeltaed that the practice when I called, but wouldn't tell me what the salary was for the "trigger point" I was told that they just needed extra information, but when we next used the system this wasn't topped up.

What I quote to the HMRC advice on the phone, he was unhelpful. He said that they didn't notify people that their tax-free childcare wouldn't be topped up. I quoted it if this was fair, to whom I wrote this letter, the HMRC having to see people to get the money back.

I've never sent any announcement about this. You only find our when it doesn't top up the money. We've lost out on about £95, although hopefully this will be sent after future payments.

I've never I would say anything about how to reclaim this, nor about how we do the "mandatory review" process, even though I asked for this in writing. Is this the way the process doesn't work?

• James

Dear James,

Thank you for flagging this problem. I will start by giving some background for the benefit

Amount being reimbursed That I don't want the agreed to pay back to our reader

of readers who are unfamiliar with the system. The Government explains the way the tax-free childcare support works on its "Best Start in Life" site, which lists the following steps:

• Set up an online childcare account for your child

• Search for childcare providers through the online account

• Deposit money into the account. For every 24 you pay into this account, the Government will pay in £25 now to pay your childcare provider.

• Use the money to pay your childcare provider through your online account

• Record the your eligibility for tax free childcare every three months

One of the main problems with this system is that the £100,000 limit acts as a

cliff edge. If you exceed it, the whole benefit is lost.

Once you cross this threshold, you lose both tax-free childcare at up to £12,000 (£100), and it happens the life hours per week of five childcare entitlement. However, I have not seen anything in the guidance to suggest that payments will come at a point below the £100,000 or lower threshold.

With your permission, I contacted the HMRC press office to find out what had happened in your case, and for our donation of the policy.

I was told that there is no income "trigger point" as such. However, HMRC may request further information if checks indicate that additional evidence is needed to confirm continued eligibility.

Some of these relate to projected

income, and you may be asked to provide more details of the income you expect to earn in the current tax year.

It seems that what happened in your case is that you received a bonus in April, such that when pre-rated annually your income might have exceeded the £100,000 limit.

HMRC said that further information was exposed from the work as agreed to deadline of July 1, to identify whether this would increase an issue. You submitted the evidence in a letter to HMRC on June 24.

It is not entirely clear to me what happened following this, but something most wrong which held up your top-up payment.

Following a review of your case, and the report of the senior wife, a spokesman for HMRC said: "We've spoken to the lady concerned to apologize and the two bases we're reimbursing the £80 or tax-free childcare top-up payments she missed out on. We've also sending her a redress payment."

I am therefore hoping that this will be resolved for you soon. HMRC has helpfully admitted that there were human errors in the handling of this matter, and has apologized to your wife. I also understand that HMRC is using the findings of the review to provide meaningful feedback and learning points to the advisers involved, and to improve the service provided.

I am grateful to the individuals at HMRC for looking into this and for their response.

I do nothing the £100,000 threshold is not straightened. It is based on adjusted net income, which is taxable income before personal allowances and after deducting pension contributions, gift aid payments and some work expenses – but it includes taxable benefits.

This up to applied to our individual parent, not on the combined household income. Because of these complicating, it is intended to be HMRC to be made aware of relevant changes in

personal circumstances. However, that is precisely the purpose of the three-month eligibility for tax and why HMRC may request further information.

You cannot about how you could recover the missing amounts. The Government allows you to do this online by logging in to its compensation form – but in your case this won't be necessary since you are being reimbursed directly.

The response will usually depend on whether the underpayment was caused by an HMRC error, or if it involves a dispute about the eligibility criteria.

Many parents rely on this financial help to pay for childcare so that they can return to work. Clearly, there is a balance to be struck between keeping the process as simple as possible while ensuring that the risks are followed.

Views differ on the way this support operates. Parents must be able to return to work when they want to do so, and the state should support this. However, the operation of a £100,000 cliff edge – which is also the threshold at which the personal allowance begins to taper off – can create a barrier to those with income nearing the threshold.

There is evidence that this is creating a disincentive for someone to perform their career. It cannot make sense for people to turn down a promotion or ask for shorter working hours simply to avoid this trap. The tax system should encourage work and should certainly not penalise success.

Ruth Emery Investigates Your Consumer Champion

Dear Ruth

Last summer, I completed an online application for both types of lasting powers of attorney (LPA) health and welfare, and property and financial affairs. The health one went through fine, and was registered on Sept 24.

However, I am still awaiting the finance LPA. It appears to be stuck in a black hole, which no one has knowledge of or access to.

I applied for the LPA myself, and inadvertently made a mistake by adding a sentence about my shares in our family company, which has effectively nullified the power of attorney. I phoned the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) on November and was told I had two options. Either submit a new application and pay again or have the revised LPA sent to a judge at the Court of Protection for confirmation it can be registered.

I chose the letter as I didn't feel I should pay again, and, as the waiting time was 'about' three months, I seemed better to take the second course of action. Turns out this was a big mistake. I was then told it would take 20 weeks from Nov 5, which was the date I wrote to the OPG confirming I consented to the removal of the retirement working. However, I have heard absolutely nothing since. I called the OPG to early May asking for an update, and after a long conversation with an officer she said she had no idea of the LPA's current status.

It is ridiculous that the LPA's have been separated. If I were to need the LPA's tomorrow 11 am 9th very soon, then I will have one and not the other, so my three daughters who would be acting as attorneys will have to negotiate through a bureaucratic nightmare.

How is it that the Court of Protection – so many about the working of the LPA's, legal document – has no means of

identifying what has happened to it?

I'm tempting to start again on a day for another finance LPA, but I suspect there will be an even bigger nightmare awaiting if I suddenly have the original LPA registered through the court system and have to succeed the mess.

I do hope you can find out what has happened to this LPA.

• W.R. Wheal

Dear Reader

An LPA is an important legal document, which allows the attorneys – in your case, your daughters – to act on your behalf if you're unable to make your own decisions. For example, if you have a similar, or develop dementia, it's a smart decision to make an LPA, and it's fairly straightforward to do it yourself on the geo jak website. In terms of the finance

power of attorney, it'll give you peace of mind that your daughters can manage your affairs if needed!

However, registering an LPA is not a quick process, and any readers who have made one will know it can take several months. Over the past few years, there have also been a lot of delays, so some LPA's have taken much longer to register than the government's eight-week target. Interestingly, the OPG, an agency sponsored by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) that holds after LPA's, published its annual report last month, which mentions that the "financial LPA backlog work [has been] cleared."

However, that's not true as your application is still caught up in the backlog from if the correction to your LPA took 20 weeks from Nov 5, you should have received the documents by March 20.

But, maybe "backlog" isn't the correct word here, as you're worried the power of attorney has actually made into a black hole. Infertilisingly, when you rang the OPG for an update, you received zero information in return. It may have been

quicker to have cancelled the LPA and submitted a brand new application last year, instead of asking the Court of Protection to alter the LPA. But, understandingly, you didn't want to pay the 450 fee again (which later rose to 200) from Nov 17. It may have also been speedier to have paid for professional advice to help you with the LPA to begin with, because then the mistake on the application could have been avoided.

However, regardless of all that, I needed to have a state word with the OPG to liaise with the court and look for your missing LPA and get it registered, promo. A few days later, the MoJ called me and said the property and financial affairs power of attorney was now registered, and had been posted to you.

You were very happy to receive this news from me while you were on holiday in the south of France. When you returned home, a Special Delivery envelope was waiting for you. Inside, it showed that the judge had stamped the order severing the word on. April 9, so it seems the OPG then sat on it for several

months until my intervention when it finally registered the LPA and sent it to you. I asked the MoJ why there had been such a hold-up, and a spokesman said: "This case has been resolved, but we know any where to lasting powers of attorney can be frustrating and distressing for applicants. We receive a high volume of applications with over 1,5 million last year, and the majority are registered within eight to 10 weeks."

'Tesco sold me a faulty M&S gift card and no one will agree to fix it'

Dear Ruth

It wish to bring to your attention if I was in appalling customer service relating to a 4500 M&S gift card that I bought as a wedding gift for my cousin in May 2023. It was purchased from

Tesco Extra in Stourbridge, West Midlands. The issue came to light when my cousin tried to use the card online and the transaction was declined.

He visited his local M&S, where staff – he died the card and advised that it had not been activated. They recommended he contact Tesco. He then visited Tesco Extra in Stourbridge and presented the gift card and the activation slip.

He was informed the number on the gift card did not match the number on the activation slip and was told this was an issue for M&S to resolve, despite Tesco having accepted the 4500 payment for the card.

Next, my cousin contacted M&S customer services. They said they were unable to resolve the issue because they records showed the card had never been activated. Armed with this information, he returned to Tesco Extra. However, he was again told it was not Tesco's responsibility. I also tried to help, but found it extremely difficult to locate a contact number for Tesco, and spent several hours attempting to speak with someone

who could assist. I was then told to communicate via WhatsApp. After various phone calls and WhatsApp messages, I submitted a formal complaint. Eventually, I received a message from Tesco confirming the card had not been activated correctly, and saying I should take the gift card to a store where the matter would be resolved.

However, I was later told that Tesco was unable to see transactions any further back than July 2023, and the matter would have to be reinvestigated.

This situation has turned into a complete nightmare. I will never shop with

Tesco again.

• Jill, Brenngrove

Dear Reader

A gift card problems are, unfortunately, a common theme

is many times.

Sometimes, readers aren't aware there is an eighty-this or that there are some number of information attached. In other cases, readers aren't able to spend them. This could be because of a scam where criminals steal the code on the back of the gift card while it's on display in the shop, and spend the money before the customer buys it.

However, in your case, Tesco seems to have acknowledged it didn't activate the card properly when you bought it. You've been on a wild goose chase trying to work out whether Tesco or M&S is responsible for the blunder. Under consumer law, the company where you purchased the card is responsible for supplying what you paid for. Therefore, the retailer that sold the gift card should handle any initial problems.

I spoke to Tesco and it quickly dealt with the matter. A spokesman said: "We're really sorry this happened and understand how frustrating this situation has been. We have apologised to like readers, who should have been refrained for full amount of the gift card when she first contacted us. Unfortunately, on this occasion we didn't meet the high customer service standards we set ourselves, and it took longer than it should have to pay things right."

You received a 4500 refund for the faulty gift card plus a 120 goodwill gesture, which you were happy to accept.

Toney charged with assault

FOOTBALL

Striker faces court hearing for alleged butt in nightclub

England player likely to be unavailable for Spain match

By Jeremy Wilson

CHIEF SPORTS REPORTER

Ivan Toney, the England football player, has been charged with assault over an alleged butt in a Soho nightclub.

The striker, 30, is accused of

assault causing actual bodily harm following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police.

Toney, who was part of England's World Cup squad, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Sept 24.

England play world champions Spain in a Nations League match at Wembley two days later. The Football Association has been approached for comment but Toney's place in the England squad must be in serious doubt.

The charge relates to an assault, understood to be an alleged butt, which took place at a venue on

Wardour Street last December. Toney was arrested at the scene on suspicion of two counts of assault and one count of affray. He was then released on bail.

"Police were called to Wardour Street, W1 at 00:47hrs on Saturday, 6 December," said a police statement issued in December. "The vic-

tim was taken to hospital and his injuries are not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening."

A spokesman for Toney said: "Ivan acknowledges the charge and although he is naturally shocked, he looks forward to being given the opportunity to clear his name in court."

Toney, who plays for Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli, was a surprise inclusion in England's World Cup squad, who finished third in this summer's tournament in North America.

He appeared as a late substitute in the semi-final defeat by Argen-

tina and started in the "bronzemedal match", in which England beat France 6-4.

Toney started his career with his hometown club Northampton before making his name in the Premier League with Brentford, with 72 goals in 141 games during his four years at the club.

In 2022, Toney was charged with 232 breaches of Football Association betting rules and banned from playing football for eight months.

Toney returned in January 2024 before a £40m move later that year to Al-Ahli, where he has scored 72 goals in 93 games.

City reject Barcelona's Rodri offer as not serious

By James Ducker NORTHERN FOOTBALL CORRESPONDENT

Manchester City have dismissed Barcelona's offer for Rodri out of hand.

Barcelona have made a bid worth an initial €45m (£38.6m) for Spain's World Cup-winning captain plus

add-ons, which are understood to be less than the €15m reported in Spain.

But City do not consider it serious enough to warrant proper discussion and it is thought Barcelona would have to increase their offer substantially to entice them to the negotiating table.

Etihad Stadium sources are keep-

ing tight-lipped about the club's valuation of Rodri. But it is understood it would require almost double Barcelona's €45m offer to countenance offloading the defensive midfielder.

Real Madrid have also explored a move for Rodri but Barcelona are believed to be his preference if he leaves this summer.

However, it is increasingly clear City are unwilling to let the 30-year-old to leave on the cheap.

Rodri has entered the final 12 months of his contract with City, whose offer of a new deal remains on the table.

Barcelona appear invested in trying to make a deal happen but the Spanish champions will have to raise their offer significantly.

City could move for an experienced replacement if Rodri were to go – they have a history of allowing players who wish to leave to depart, but they have clear conditions over any potential sale.

Rodri underwent surgery on a back complaint late last month that is expected to rule him out of the start of the new season.

City are on a pre-season tour of Asia and face Atlético Madrid in Seoul tomorrow. They play Arsenal

in the Community Shield a week tomorrow and kick off their Premier League season at home to Bournemouth on Aug 23.

City have already signed England midfielder Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116m and are pursuing a deal with Lille for Morocco midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi, 18, regardless of what happens with Rodri.

They could also be in the market for another midfielder amid doubts over the futures of Tijjani Reijnders, who is attracting interest from Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, and Nico González.

Forward could make return against Amorim's AC Milan but United future is still to be resolved, writes James Ducker

Football has an enduring knack of throwing up unexpected storylines and there could be another in Poland next weekend involving Manchester United, their highest-paid player and former manager.

Last summer, Marcus Rashford was banished by Ruben Amorim and forced to train separately from the main United squad as part of the "bomb squad" before his season's loan move to Barcelona.

At that point, plenty - inside and outside Old Trafford, and perhaps even Rashford himself - felt he had played his last game for United. The club gave his No10 shirt to new arrival Matheus Cunha.

And yet, 12 months on, it is Amorim who is no longer at United and Rashford, remarkably, who could be lining up for his boyhood club again - and coincidentally against the manager who quickly resolved the England forward was not going to have a part to play under him at Old Trafford.

Amorim is now in charge at AC Milan and they just happen to be United's opponents in Wrocław next Saturday when Michael Carrick's side play their final pre-season game before kicking off their Premier League campaign at Hull City on Aug 22.

It is an intriguing subplot in the Rashford saga, one which is expected to gather pace as the 28-year-old prepares to report back amid the prospect of a reunion few could have imagined.

With the transfer window open for another three weeks, Rashford could return for a period but still depart. If he were to go, United would need to replace him in some capacity and that in itself would place an added time pressure on an already delicate situation.

Several Premier League clubs are thought to be monitoring developments and there is still interest in Europe.

The next week will reveal more. United face Paris St-Germain in Gothenburg today and are due to fly to Ireland straight after the game for a short training camp in Maynooth, Co Kildare. They then play Leeds at Dublin's Croke Park on Wednesday before travelling to Poland for the Milan match.

Rashford, his England team-mate Kobbie Mainoo and Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez are the remaining players in Carrick's squad still to report back after the World Cup.

How Carrick plans to

reintegrate the trio remains to be seen, but the manager may consider the Leeds game too soon given they would have had only a couple of days of training under their belts by then after the usual, initial round of pre-season testing and assessment. But it would not be a surprise if Rashford was involved against Amorim's Milan.

All things considered, he would have loved to make his loan move to Barcelona permanent this summer. But the Catalan giants opted against taking up an option to sign the attacker for just €30m (£26m) spread over three instalments and instead signed Anthony Gordon from Newcastle and then Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund.

Whether Rashford's wages - which increased at United by 25 per cent this summer to £325,000 a week on the back of the club's Champions League qualification - dissuaded Barcelona or they preferred what Gordon and Adeyemi had to offer is unclear. Yet Hansi Flick certainly gave the impression a week ago that he would miss Rashford, who scored 14 goals and claimed 14 assists as Barcelona won the La Liga title. "He is a fantastic player and a fantastic person," the Barcelona coach said. "The team miss him, I will miss him, but it is life."

A year ago Rashford was scoring for Barcelona in a 5-0 win over Daegu FC in Seoul on the club's pre-season tour of Asia. He must have thought that was the beginning of a new career chapter.

United's transfer activity has slowed since the £35m signing of Youri Tielemans on July 14. There are different reasons for that, but Rashford's future is a factor.

Any move for a left-sided forward or striker is directly

linked to what happens with Rashford - who is contracted for another two years - because he can play both positions while the sheer scale of his wages materially affects finances.

Many fans have conflicted emotions. Feelings towards Rashford soured in those final months under Amorim, who publicly questioned his attitude and application in training before freezing him out, and plenty watched his performances on loan at Aston Villa and then Barcelona and wondered where that player had been for United.

The reception from United fans will certainly be interesting - some want him gone - and it would intensify the pressure on Rashford to step up again. But history tells us this tends to be nothing a few goals and some stellar displays cannot fix. If he is re-energised, fit and focused, Rashford would still be one of the best attackers in the Premier League and a significant asset for Carrick, who gets on well with him.

Landing a player of comparable quality at this late stage of the window would also be difficult and costly, just as there would be inherent risks in selling him to a leading Premier League rival should one come knocking.

It is understood some of Rashford's United team-mates have told him they are looking forward to having him back.

This is not the same team the forward left behind either. Amorim has gone - and his controversial 3-4-2-1 with it - and the attack has been supplemented by the likes of Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. Bruno Fernandes remains formidable and the midfield has been reshaped, even if it would benefit from another addition.

United cannot rely solely on Luke Shaw, 31, and are in the market for a new left-back, but Rashford was often at his best working in tandem with Shaw down that flank.

Rashford would have liked to continue his adventure in Spain and may still end up abroad. But those 12 months experiencing a new country, culture and league after more than two decades in the United bubble will doubtless have broadened his horizons and provided time to reset and rethink. A lengthy separation may have done both parties some good.

If there are tensions, they are more likely to be behind the scenes. But all Carrick will be bothered about, if Rashford stays, is getting the best version of a player who still has the capacity to be a potent weapon.

Perimeter walls banned following Vigar tragedy

By Ian Parker

Clubs in the National League System must remove brick or concrete walls around pitches or use padding to cover them following a safety review prompted by the death of a former Arsenal youth striker.

Chichester City's Billy Vigar died in September last year aged 21 after suffering a brain injury when he collided with a concrete barrier trying to keep a ball in play during a match at Wingate and Finchley.

Following a safety review, the Football Association has published new pitch perimeter criteria which "no longer permits solid brick, breeze block or concrete barriers around pitches" for clubs competing across the National League System for men (steps one to six) and the Women's National League (tiers three to four).

"Any existing solid brick, breeze block or concrete barriers must be removed as soon as reasonably practicable, or covered with suitable protection if they cannot be removed for structural reasons," the FA said.

"We have informed the clubs at this level that will be required to take action as a result of these changes.

"Matches may continue to be played at affected grounds during this period; however, clubs should assess the safety of their pitch perimeter barriers on an ongoing basis, and where alterations to these structures have been recommended during this review, they should develop a plan to complete any such alterations within a reasonable timeframe."

It is understood around 160 of the approximately 900 clubs who play at the relevant levels have been contacted about at least one element of their stadium that must be modified.

The FA and Premier League will provide funding for the necessary work. "The initial phase of the programme is already under way, and we will continue to provide full support to the clubs involved in this process," the FA said.

The Professional Footballers' Association had been pushing for the safety review to take place prior to Vigar's death, following an incident in 2022 that left Bath City's Alex Fletcher in a coma.

In June 2023, the PFA and then sports minister Stuart Andrew wrote to the FA, the Premier League, the English Football League and the National League calling on them to proactively review pitch perimeter safety.

Following yesterday's announcement, a PFA spokesperson welcomed the move but said: "It will now be important for progress on the removal of such walls – and effective mitigation of risks ahead of their removal – to be properly monitored, and for clubs to be given the support they need."

How Infantino could be forced out of Fifa

Ousting most powerful man in football is not easy, even after investigation into his conduct. By Jeremy Wilson

Gianni Infantino's position as Fifa president is more perilous than ever following today's revelations in The Daily Telegraph a woman with whom its alleged he had an affair was paid off by Uefa.

Our story details how the woman received tens of thousands of pounds after she agreed to leave Uefa following the alleged relationship with Infantino, who at the time was the organisation's secretary general.

Infantino had already been facing demands to quit, including from the Football Association, following his failed £15bn World Cup sell-off plan.

But the Telegraph investigation into his conduct at Uefa will now bring fresh scrutiny to his position.

Until today, Infantino had refused to resign, even after he apologised over the private equity plot – but our investigation into his conduct will now increase the pressure he is facing.

Will Infantino resign?

Even after this new information has come to light, a quick Infantino resignation appears unlikely. There is little outward sign that even this fiasco has dented his self-confidence and desire to keep a £4.5m role that gives him access to world leaders and celebrities, and included a private jet to get around this summer's World Cup.

This would then seemingly leave only the threats to topple him. This week's statement and public show of unity at the women's Africa Cup of Nations alongside Mattias Grafstrom, the Fifa secretary general, underlines his desire to find a way out. However, the statement went no further than claiming the full support of those "in attendance" among the management board.

Telegraph Sport has been told that among those absent from the Rabat summit were: Arsène Wenger, Fifa's chief of global football development; Jill Ellis, chief football officer; Sarai Bareman, chief women's football officer; and Kevin Lamour, chief operating officer.

Infantino last night denied the allegations, claiming they were untrue and that there had been no "inappropriate conduct".

How could he be forced out?

The simplest way would be resignation. If we discount that possibility then the most obvious mechanism is the election in March. If enough associations withdraw their support and a credible candidate emerges, he could lose the election or decide not to stand. Today's revelations could make associations think twice about backing him.

Fifa's statutes hypothetically include processes for dealing with any violation of ethics, but it was noticeable in this week's statement that, although mistakes were

'Lover' was paid off by Uefa

News, page 1

acknowledged, Fifa stressed that "everything that was done was done in full compliance with the Fifa regulatory framework" in respect of the Fifa Forward Enterprise proposal.

Outside these formal mechanisms, the weight of political pressure – from world leaders, member associations, broadcasters and sponsors – could reach intolerable levels.

Who would vote against him? The English FA has joined Uefa leaders in expressing its loss of confidence in Infantino.

Uefa has stressed that this remains its position following Wednesday's summit and is demanding "binding assurances" that a similar plan can never again be made.

As well as Europe, leaders at Concacaf, which governs North and Central American and Caribbean football, have expressed their opposition but it is unclear whether there is the same degree of unity among its members.

A release on behalf of Concacaf nations called the plan "a symptom of leadership that has stopped putting football first".

Each of Fifa's 211 member associations will have one vote in a forthcoming election, regardless of size, meaning the on-field footballing power of European nations does not reflect its voting influence. Uefa has 55 votes, the other five confederations 156 and the situation remains fluid.

Who would vote with him? Infantino's traditional power base has come from Africa, Asia and South America. Next year's presidential election will be held

in Rabat, Morocco's capital, and there have been public expressions of support from various parts of the globe following Wednesday's meeting.

A statement from the Confederation of African Football, which represents 54 member associations, read: "The Caf executive committee also unanimously reconfirmed its support for Fifa president Gianni Infantino."

The Mexican Football Federation has broken ranks with Concacaf by issuing its public backing for Infantino. The Argentinian Football Association has also backed him and expressed support for his leadership over the past decade. It is a stance that reflects the support of much of South America.

Infantino was pictured in Colombia yesterday at Cali airport, where he was all smiles as he met Colombia Football Federation president Ramón Jesurún, in the hours before our story broke.

Who could replace him? Victor Montagliani, Concacaf's president, is considered a possible candidate. Concacaf issued one of the strongest

rebuttals to Infantino's original plan and the Canadian Montagliani, a Fifa vice-president, has remained noticeably silent.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of Paris St-Germain and chairman of European Football Clubs, is regarded as another contender, although he has distanced himself from the role. An internal candidate could be Lamour, a senior French Fifa employee who distanced himself from Infantino's plan. Lamour was not at this week's summit in Morocco but has said: "The time has come for football political leaders to ask themselves the right questions."

Aleksander Celerin, Uefa's president, remains a potential candidate – and his organisation has led the fight against Infantino's plans – but it is unclear whether he would run. Lise Klaveness, the campaigning president of the Norwegian Football Association, would have support for the way she has spoken out about Fifa controversies, including its Peace Prize and the overturning of United States forward Folarin Balogun's suspension during the World Cup.

The issue for potential candidates, however, is whether it is worth standing if Infantino has built a coalition of supporters and whether they would be better off waiting for a future opportunity.

Salah bags Turkish millions – but move has health warning

Latest high-profile signing in country offering huge tax-free wages has to accept payment risk, writes Mike McGrath

To borrow a phrase from a leading agent when talking about moving players to Turkey: "Numbers are good but it comes with a health warning."

Footage of Mohamed Salah arriving in Istanbul on Wednesday before his lucrative move to Trabzonspor showed the attraction of moving to Super Lig – thousands of fans greeting their new hero at the airport. Salah's every move was tracked as he completed his medical and signed his two-year deal.

But it has not worked out for every high-profile signing – player or manager – who has chosen Turkey.

There have been stories of players being made to wait for their salaries, or not receiving the full amount. Or clubs looking for

reasons not to pay in full if the players were injured or out of favour. But players are also protected by a rule that they can leave on a free transfer if they are not paid for three months.

Turkish clubs made a big push for star signings three years ago but not all of them have lasted long. Wilfried Zaha was at Galatasaray in 2023 as a high-profile Bosman free transfer but the following season he was loaned to Lyon, then last season went to Charlotte FC in Major League Soccer.

Brazil goalkeeper Ederson is

widely reported to want to leave Fenerbahce just one season after moving from Manchester City. He was brought to the club while Jose Mourinho was manager but the "Special One" was sacked early in the season.

Despite all these cautionary tales, Turkey more than ever is a viable option for players when their representatives assess the market. Just look at this summer, with one of the greatest Premier League players joining Trabzonspor after interest from Saudi Arabia had been confirmed earlier in the year when it was announced he would leave Liverpool.

The Saudi Pro League has lost a number of high-profile players this summer as their contracts expired. Premier League winners Riyad Mahrez, Georginio Wijnaldum and Chris Smalling left, as did Jhon Duran, Marcelo Brozovic, Franck Kessié and Abdoulaye Doucouré.

Turkish clubs, meanwhile, have been very active in the transfer market, even when compared to the Premier League. Mason Greenwood is now at Fenerbahce, along with Nathan Ake. And Besiktas have landed Leandro Trossard just a few months after winning the Premier League title with Arsenal.

Why is Turkey so attractive? The numbers are good in transfer deals because the wages are paid net, after tax deductions. So, Salah earning at least £14.5m per season at Trabzonspor is a staggering deal, and that is before bonuses are added. It is the equivalent of getting more than £500,000 per week in England.

"Basically, they get their money paid clean. No tax responsibility. The club pays their tax," one Turkish agent said.

It is not the case that there is no income tax in Turkey, just that the clubs can look after this part of the payroll. This makes Super Lig a direct rival to Saudi Arabia in terms of wages. While Cristiano Ronaldo has agreed a new deal with Al-Nassr, the big spending and lucrative deals for players have generally been on the decline in the Saudi Pro League.

Bruno Fernandes has spoken about an offer to play in the Middle East a year ago. Kevin De Bruyne went to Napoli as a free agent and

Salah, who would have been an ideal signing as Saudi Arabia focuses on being World Cup hosts in eight years, has chosen Turkey.

The big four Turkish clubs – Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Trabzonspor – have a combined debt of more than €3bn but have cash flow that allows them to pay high salaries.

Galatasaray sold the site of their Florya training ground to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality reportedly for more than £400m. They have also sold naming rights on the Ali Sami Yen Stadium, which is now known as Rams Park. When they beat Liverpool there last season, the winner was scored by Victor Osimhen, a €75m player who once came close to joining Chelsea.

Fenerbahce's former chairman, Ali Koc, is from one of the wealthiest families in the country, which explains their riches during

his time at the club. They have also had a knack of discovering talent and selling at huge profits, with Ferdi Kadioglu (€30m) heading to the Premier League with Brighton and Arda Guler (€28m) at Real Madrid.

Salah's deal with Trabzonspor is likely to be funded through sponsorship, with the club having deals with Turkish Airlines and electric car manufacturers Togg. Just after the Egyptian signed, Turkish Airlines announced direct flights between Cairo and Trabzon.

Moves to Turkey were traditionally associated with players seeing out the final days of their career. Robin van Persie went to Fenerbahce after winning the Premier League with Manchester United. Former England striker Darius Vassell was greeted by fans – and looked stunned about it – when he arrived for his move to Ankaragucu.

O'Neill out of hospital and in 'good form', says Maloney

By Pete Whitfield

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill is out of hospital and in "good form", according to his assistant, Shaun Maloney.

The Parkhead club announced on Wednesday that the 74-year-old Northern Irishman had undergone a "small procedure".

Maloney gave an upbeat prognosis ahead of tomorrow's Premiership clash with Kilmarnock at

Rugby Park although it is not yet certain if O'Neill will be in the dugout.

Maloney said: "He got out of hospital yesterday. He was in good form last night, loads better than on Monday, Tuesday. Hopefully those sort of positive feelings continue.

"No timeline. So even for the game at the weekend, it's sort of day-to-day. We saw him last night, with regards to the preparation for the game."

Tomiyasu seals Palace switch

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of former Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu following a successful trial.

The Japan international, who spent four seasons at the Emirates Stadium before leaving in 2025 and then joining Ajax, becomes manager Pierre Sage's second signing since taking over in June.

He played 84 times in all competitions for Arsenal but missed virtually all of his final season with a knee injury.

Palace chairman Steve Parish said: "Takehiro has experience at the highest level of European and international football. We are delighted to welcome a player of his calibre to the club."

Newcastle's positive spin will soon

Upbeat club believe Jaissle is a 'special' coach but loss of talent could be costly, writes Luke Edwards in La Manga It has been a turbulent summer for Ross Wilson, Newcastle United's sporting director, who managed the sale of three star players and lost Eddie Howe, who was instrumental in persuading him to take the job.

Positivity, though, is not in short supply when Wilson holds a conversation. While others have painted a gloomy, depressing picture of where the club find themselves under their Saudi Arabian owners, Wilson has remained tirelessly upbeat. It is one of the reasons he has connected strongly with David Hopkinson, the club's chief executive, whose default setting is "relentless positivity".

According to former Newcastle captain Alan Shearer, they are going to get a "reality check" during a "very challenging season" when the talking stops and the action starts in a fortnight.

Shearer fears the loss of so many key players in a short time severely weakens the team and is dubious of the idea that you can replace senior stars with promising youngsters and continue previous success.

Shearer said: "If it was all about selling your best players every season then replenishing the club with young ones, everyone would do that. Newcastle have a lot of work to do."

Wilson, though, makes no apology for the decisions taken. There have been some difficult ones, particularly the sale of captain Bruno Guimaraes to Arsenal for £75m, which was at least £10m less than they hoped.

But Newcastle had little choice once the player repeated he wanted to leave.

"We're trying to create a model that works for us," said Wilson from Newcastle's pre-season training camp in La Manga before today's friendly against Valencia. "I say that with utmost respect for what has gone before.

"We have to build a model here that can compete, win, that works for us and doesn't lead us to have to sell players we don't want to sell and lead to Uefa sanctions.

"We're trying to build a model across our men's first team, our academy, through our women's team. The word I've tried to use more than any other is 'alignment' right through the club."

Only time will tell whether positive thoughts and energy, a crushing work ethic and an "anything is possible" attitude really can power Newcastle

Charting progress: Newcastle players and staff at their camp in La Manga

towards their 2030 goal of becoming one of Europe's elite.

Wilson and Hopkinson are convinced it can and seem to enjoy brushing off the pessimists as well as those who mock when assessing what has happened at Newcastle.

In the past 12 months, Newcastle have sold four of their best players (Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and captain Guimaraes) who won the club's first domestic trophy in 70 years in 2025 and twice qualified for the Champions League. They have been fined £5.15m for breaching Uefa's spending rules and signed up for football's equivalent of a repayment plan to avoid further punishment. Furthermore, the revenue gap with the "big six" English clubs is still hundreds, rather than tens, of millions.

The project, to the outside eye, is floundering. The team finished 12th last season under Howe, the club's most successful manager of the modern era.

Wilson, though, is convinced the man he identified and chased to become Howe's replacement, Matthias Jaissle, will prove he can take the club to an even higher level.

A word that keeps being used about Jaissle is "special". Newcastle's hierarchy believe they have secured the services of a man who will soon be in the elite tier of European managers.

We shall see how this view of the 38-year-old survives contact with a brutal and relentless Premier League campaign. But two weeks before the first game of the season, at home to Liverpool, Wilson wanted to explain the unpopular sale of Guimaraes. "We didn't want to sell Bruno,"

Trailblazer Massey-Ellis to retire from officiating

By Robert O'Connor

Assistant referee Sian Massey-Ellis is to retire from officiating after a career which she says was "beyond anything I could ever have imagined".

Massey-Ellis will start work with the Football Association as senior manager for women referees having called time on a Premier League career that began in 2010 and in which she has officiated in more than 150 matches.

At the time, she was just the second female official to work in English top-flight matches and has since become the only woman to be part of an FA Cup final officiating team, acting as assistant VAR in 2021 and again in 2025.

She was awarded an MBE in 2016 for her impact on football officiating and commitment to representation and was also selected for the 2019 and 2023 Fifa Women's World Cups.

In a statement, Massey-Ellis said: "From standing beneath the Premier League sign before my very first match to officiating at Fifa World Cups, Uefa European Championships, Champions League finals and across domestic fixtures and competitions in England, football has taken me on a journey beyond anything I could ever have

Ground-breaking: Sian Massey-Ellis is the only woman to be part of an FA Cup final officiating team

imagined. Every opportunity has been a privilege and one I have never taken for granted.

"Throughout my career, football has challenged me, tested my resilience and pushed me to become a better professional and person. While there have been unforgettable highs and difficult moments, what I will treasure most are the people and experiences that have defined my journey.

"Although I am stepping away from the touchline, I am not stepping away from football. If my journey has helped change perceptions, open doors or inspire even one young person to believe they belong in the game, then I will consider that one of my greatest achievements.

"I'm excited by the opportunity to help support, develop and inspire the next generation of match officials, giving something back to a sport that has done so much for me.

"As I prepare for one final walk onto the pitch, I leave with nothing but gratitude. It has been the greatest honour to serve the game I love and represent English officiating. To the young girl who simply loved refereeing and dreamed of reaching the very top – we did it. Thank you, football."

he said. "He's our captain, he was very important to us and the debate over his price... it's a world-record fee for a [midfielder] of his age. He effectively told us he wanted to leave. It plays a part in our thinking when we hit a certain number [in negotiations].

"But we have to be flexible. It might have been in our plan to sign one player, but we didn't get him so we move on to another. We'd love Bruno to be in our squad but I'm sure there are other clubs that have lost players that wish they were in their squads.

"It's the world we live in, we had to adapt, we had to react. Having such an important player leave is disappointing but having a really important player who doesn't want to play here, it was the only decision we could make."

Jaissle has already admitted this is going to be a "transition season" given the level of upheaval.

Patience, you suspect, will be needed. Whether the German and Newcastle get it will largely depend on the mood of a fanbase which has become used to long domestic cup runs, finals, even a trophy, along with European football. Talk of intense training sessions and signing exciting young players will not carry much weight in the gruelling winter months if results are poor.

Wilson knows the squad need a lot of work. Newcastle need at least one full-back, an experienced replacement for Guimaraes and either another full-back or a wide forward. The pressure is on, but Newcastle, having failed to land either Victor Muñoz or Johan Manzambi are trying to move with stealth.

They have opened talks over a potential deal to sign Marseille midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to replace Guimaraes. The 31-year-old

Denmark international has played in the Premier League for both Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur. The likes of Al-Hilal's Ruben Neves, Borussia Dortmund's Felix Nmecha, Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller and Porto's Victor Froholdt have all been ruled out when Telegraph Sport has asked about the interest in those players.

"We want to strengthen the squad," Wilson said. "We've already strengthened, we wanted to have a clear stamp on the window as to what our identity looked like, we wanted to re-energise and refresh it. We want to add more. The support of the [owners] is there. Matthias wants to assess what we have. We're aligned on what we want to do. We don't want to make any mistakes by jumping to do something we don't really want to tick a box. We're active in the market."

They need to be.

Ronaldo guides

his son's career while keeping 16-year secret

World cannot get enough of Cristiano Jnr's story but his father is keeping one chapter a mystery, writes Ben Rumsby Cristiano Ronaldo races on to a pass in the box, smashes a first- time shot in off the crossbar and runs towards the corner flag before performing a "SIUUUU" celebration.

Like any clip of a Ronaldo goal, footage posted in May last year to the social media accounts of the Portugal national team attracted millions of views, likes and comments.

Yet, the Ronaldo in the red shirt with No7 on his back was not the man who owns almost every scoring record going at both club and international level. Instead, it was his son, also Cristiano, and the goal was the striker's first for Portugal. Portugal Under-15s, to be precise, in a 3-2 win over Croatia in which the then 14-year-old also scored a close-range header.

Almost six months later and having turned 15, the teenager was at it again, this time scoring his first goal for his country's under-16 team, footage of which, too, went viral.

Ronaldo Jnr scored twice in a Uefa development tournament in May this year, a feat matched by his father scoring two goals for Al Nasr on the final day of the Saudi Pro League season to end an agonising wait to win the title there.

His 16th birthday celebrations coincided with his father leading Portugal out at a World Cup in which the 41-year-old became the first to score at six finals.

The son of a famous footballer following in his father's footsteps is nothing new. But there has rarely been such fascination with a player's offspring as this one.

That fascination has been evident from the day Ronaldo became a parent, in what remain mysterious circumstances, on June 17, 2010. Announcing Cristiano's birth on social media just over a fortnight later, Ronaldo wrote: "It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby's mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship. No further information will be provided on this subject and I request everyone

Family likeness: Cristiano Ronaldo strikes a familiar pose with his son at the beach this summer; (inset) Cristiano Jnr celebrates scoring for Portugal Under-15s last year and Ronaldo in action for Portugal at this summer's World Cup

He has kept his word not to reveal details of how his son was conceived or the mother's identity

to fully respect my right to privacy (and that of the child) at least on issues as personal as these are."

The news was so surprising, a report on Ronaldo's post by Telegraph Sport even questioned whether "the content of the statement is genuine or the work of a hacker". It became apparent that Ronaldo had not been at the birth in La Mesa, California, because he had been at the World Cup in South Africa.

In the nearly 16 years since, he has kept his word not to reveal details of how his son was conceived or the identity of the mother. He told The Jonathan Ross Show in November 2015: "People speculate I was with this girl or another, or there was a surrogate mother. I have never told anyone and never will... When Cristiano is going to grow up, I am always going to say the truth to him because he deserves it, because he is my son, but I am not going to say because people want me to say."

That Ronaldo went on to have twins via a surrogate in 2017 merely compounded speculation about their elder brother's origins.

Following his birth, public sightings of the baby Cristiano were relatively rare, one photograph from December 2010 showing his grandmother's partner, Jose Andrade, holding him at a Champions League match between Real Madrid and Auxerre.

But as he approached school age, more and more began to be seen of him, most notably, at age four, when his father won the third of his five Ballons d'Or. In adorable scenes, little Cristiano was filmed being introduced to Lionel Messi and gatecrashing the trophy presentation. Ronaldo told radio station Cadena SER: "In the future, I can see myself presenting the Ballon d'Or to my son."

Ronaldo also began posting pictures and videos of his son to his tens of millions of followers on social media. They included one in August 2015 of the pair posing topless with white towels around their waists, which Ronaldo captioned: "Like Dad like Son." Many similar pictures and videos have followed, presenting Cristiano Jnr as his father's mini-me. They include a clip of penalty specialist Ronaldo challenging his son to score from the spot in three attempts or face "10 push-ups". Despite the youngster netting at the third time of asking, Ronaldo ordered him to

carry out the forfeit. "But I scored," Cristiano Jnr protested, only for his father to reply: "Do them anyway. Come on, only 10."

Life since has not always been fun and games for father and son. In April 2017, it emerged that Ronaldo had been accused of raping a woman in Las Vegas a

year before Cristiano Jnr was born. Ronaldo, who has always denied any wrongdoing and was never prosecuted over the claim, was said to have reached an out-of- court settlement with his accuser. Speaking in 2019 about the allegations, he told Good Morning Britain: "I remember one day I

was at home in the living room with my girlfriend watching the television to see the news and they speak about 'Cristiano Ronaldo this and that'. I listened to my kids coming down the stairs and I changed the channel because I was embarrassed. I just changed the channel for Cristiano Jnr not to

see that they speak bad about his father about a very bad case."

That case did not prevent Ronaldo winning the fourth of his five Champions League titles in June 2017, days before he became a father for the second time. After that year's final, footage also emerged showing a Real-shirted

Cristiano Jnr showcasing his dribbling skills in front of a 65,000-plus crowd at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

The following year, he joined the Juventus under-nines team after his father's move from Madrid to Turin and scored four goals on his debut. A few months later, Ronaldo posted a picture of his son posing next to a trophy.

In February 2020, Cristiano Jnr appeared to open his own Instagram account after an introductory video of him speaking in four languages was posted to jemincristianoronaldo2010. The account racked up almost 900,000 followers within 24 hours but later appeared to be deactivated. Instagram requires users to be at least 13 years old.

When Ronaldo made his dramatic return to Manchester United in the summer of 2021, Cristiano Jnr joined the club's academy, where he played in the same team as Wayne Rooney's son, Kai. While at United, he and his family were struck by a personal tragedy when his half-brother, Angel, died during childbirth in April 2022.

By then, Ronaldo's United homecoming had begun to turn sour, culminating in his explosive Talk TV interview with Piers Morgan in November of that year.

Speaking after the club suspended him for refusing to come off the bench in a Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur, he said: "I remember arriving home and Cristiano see me and say, 'Daddy do you not go to the game?' I say, 'No, because the club punish me with three days'. And then he said, 'How are they going to punish you if you are the best player in the world and you're not gonna play?' I said, 'No, I'm not gonna play because I have not been behave [sic]'. And he look at me like, 'My Daddy not behave, what?'

After briefly rejoining Real's academy when an outcast Ronaldo went to train with the pair's former club, Cristiano Jnr followed his father to Al Nassr. It was not long before footage emerged of the youngster playing and scoring for the club's under-13 side, as well as copying his father's "SIUUUU" celebration.

His father went on to lift the lid on their life in the Middle East during an appearance on the Rio Ferdinand Presents... podcast in August 2024. Making it clear it was not just his slim frame and shaggy mane of jet-black hair that his son had inherited, he said: "I was in the Red Sea a couple of days ago, I play every day padel. Me and Cristiano Jnr get mad [if one of us beats the other]. We don't

speak for like two days."

In February last year, Ronaldo spoke about the prospect of the pair one day playing for the same football team, telling Canal 11 "It's not something that keeps me up at night, but I would like it. We'll see. It's more in his hands than in mine," he said.

Four months later came the youngster's first Portugal call-up for a youth tournament in Croatia. Ronaldo posted a picture on social media of his son's name on the national

team squad list along with the message: "Proud of you, son." He wrote similar after Cristiano Jnr made his debut from the bench in a 4-1 win against Japan in a game watched by Ronaldo Snr's mother, Dolores Aveiro.

Scouts from United and several other leading European clubs were also said to have been present. Cristiano Jnr failed to emulate his father's feat of scoring on his under-15 debut but eventually found the net a few days later.

The strike and celebration were marked with clips posted to the Portugal national team's social media accounts that were captioned: "The first SIUUUU of Cristiano Jr for Portugal!"

By the end of October, he was making his debut for the under-16s, scoring on his second appearance, on Nov 1, in a 3-0 win over Wales. His father responded by posting footage of the strike to social media along with three fire emojis.

Ronaldo also scored the 952nd goal of his own career the same day, which coincided with the 22nd anniversary of his first for United. He remains determined to reach the 1,000 mark.

After being named the Best Middle East Player at the Globe Soccer Awards in December, Ronaldo - by then the world's first billionaire footballer - said: "You know what my goal is. I want to win trophies and I want to reach that number that you all know. I will reach that number for sure, if no injuries."

He threatened to do so with another club after going on strike at Al Nassr over a perceived lack of transfer spending by his team. He

eventually ended his self-imposed exile, a decision that ensured his son also stayed put as the teenager continued to make his mark in the youth game, culminating in two goals for Portugal Under-16s in a 3-0 win over Greece in May.

It will not be long, though, before Cristiano Jnr is old enough to decide for himself whether and where he

wants a career in football. He and his father cannot be oblivious to the family feud engulfing Ronaldo's predecessor in the United No7 shirt, Sir David Beckham, and his own eldest son, who quit the game at 16 after being released by Arsenal. Brooklyn Beckham later told Variety: "To try and live up to what my dad did in football, I was just like, 'That's going to be a bit difficult.'"

Getting stuck in: Saracens stop a Leicester attack at the Next Gen League event

Good omens for

next generation of English talent

Youngsters catch the eye in Malvern at launch of Prem's player development strategy, writes Charles Richardson In the shadow of the Malvern Hills, the next generation of English rugby talent kicked off their new-look season on the same turf on which the likes of Noah Caluori, Henry Pollock and Kepu Tuipulotu have all cut their teeth in recent years.

Wednesday marked the launch of the Defender Prem Next Gen League, the revamped under-18 academy division which Bristol won last season. The annual day in Malvern, graced not just by England's current youngsters but also by more seasoned internationals, such as George Ford, Owen Farrell and Marcus Smith, is normally one of friendlies, with the league starting in late August or early September. But this year in Malvern, the matches comprised round one of

the new league. In another tweak, semi-finals will take place at the end of this season, mirroring the Prem's play-off system.

The refreshed league, with sponsor Defender joining for added impetus, coincided with the launch of the Prem's new player development performance strategy, which brings the clubs and the Rugby Football Union together for an unprecedented level of collaboration. Allied to last year's professional game partnership - the high- performance agreement between the Prem and the RFU that runs through to 2032 - Neil McCarthy, the league's head of player development, has spearheaded the new strategy for elite players in England aged 18 and below. The hope is that this is the beginning of a new era for English rugby's brightest and best.

"This is the first time we've had a fully collaborative go at this, with this level of detail, between the RFU and Prem Rugby around what

we want to give the academy system and what we've identified as weaknesses," McCarthy says. "This is what we want to chase after as a professional game, in terms of player development, and clubs have been able to work off that with their own regionalised context. It's now aligned, which it was not previously, because we have been set the challenge by the Professional Rugby Board of having and producing more world- class players."

The under-18s are big business. Wandering around at Malvern College on Wednesday, there was no shortage of familiar faces. George Skivington, of Gloucester, was the only senior Prem director of rugby in attendance but Joe Launchbury, the former England second row now involved with Worcester, was present, as were Anthony Allen, Ali Hepher and Matt Ferguson, of Leicester, Exeter and Harlequins respectively.

There was no shortage of analysis, either. Drones were either in the air or on large poles while every match was videoed from a vantage point on halfway. Had that footage been streamed live, as the finals day is, they would have seen some extraordinary talent: Northampton defeating Leinster Schools, an invited team to rectify the odd number of sides, a stunning Gloucester comeback but, equally, a show-and-go from Sale fly-half Tom Gaffey that Dan Carter would have been proud of. And if I see a better offload this season than that of Evan Oxley, the full-back, for the Sharks' second

try, then it will have been a high-quality 12 months indeed.

Concurrently, on another pitch, Bath got their campaign up and running with a last-minute snatch-and-grab against Newcastle Red Bulls. Harlequins demolished Exeter, and Saracens and Bristol put Leicester and Yorkshire respectively to the sword.

These players will be the first of those to benefit from McCarthy's strategy, which focuses on the 11 academies (the 10 Prem clubs plus Yorkshire) and identifies three key objectives: a thriving and progressive academy system,

'We have been set the challenge by the Professional Rugby Board of producing more world-class players'

world-class players for the league and England, and supporting them to excel in a world-leading national side. The focus incorporates all kinds of areas like data, talent identification - with state schools an important element - and development, but also the exploration of law variations.

McCarthy believes the Next Gen League, currently restricted by under-18 law variations, might benefit from some tweaks. This competition plays with waist-high tackles and 1.5-metre scrum shores, but there is a concern that the gap to adult rugby is then too much of a culture shock. McCarthy, along with the RFU's competition working group, hopes to examine this gap further, as well as the same

chasm for those aged 19 and 20 who often find themselves not playing enough of the right rugby.

"The data tells us our under-19s and under-20s are not playing enough, at a high enough quality, to develop them properly," McCarthy says. "Predominantly, our under-19s play Nat 2 and our under-20s are Nat 1 or Champ, but there is a maturation/physical disparity for those lads immediately after this competition, going into adult, National League rugby. We have a gap immediately post-18."

At 18, however, things are running smoother. Now, rightly, it is a developmental league - players on the bench have to play at least 14 minutes every match - but there is potential here. Even with Defender on board, however, McCarthy stresses the Prem's Next Gen League must walk before it runs.

"We do not want this league to get out of control and have it completely performance- orientated," McCarthy says. "It's a developmental league. If we can give players experiences on 1XV pitches then that's fantastic. Our finals day is always at a Prem ground, Saracens and Gloucester, for example.

"Ultimately, though, the proof will be in the pudding, won't it? In 10 years, if it hasn't worked, you can come back and give me a kicking!"

Hopefully, for McCarthy's sake, no kicking is required. The goal is to become the "most respected player development system in the world". Watch this space, but the omens are favourable.

Kiss has been thrown a hospital

pass with Wallabies still in a rut

New head coach facing tricky start against Jones' Japan team today and with a home World Cup fast approaching This time last year, the Wallabies were riding high under Joe Schmidt. They might have lost the Lions series but beat the tourists in the third Test in Sydney having come within a much-debated refereeing call of snatching the second Test in Melbourne.

Two weeks later, Australia overturned a 22-0 deficit against the Springboks to secure their first victory at Ellis Park since 1963. But now Schmidt is gone and Les Kiss, his successor as head coach, is inheriting something approaching a hospital pass - or at least one of those horrible balls

you have to scoop off your toes - with a home World Cup fast approaching and a tricky match against Japan to begin his reign today.

The last World Cup, you may remember, ended in ignominy as Eddie Jones's Australia failed to progress from the pool stages for the first time in their history. Enter Schmidt to pick up the pieces of the Jones wreckage. He arrived with an almost unblemished record as an empire builder at Leinster and Ireland as well as having played a leading role in New Zealand's march to the 2023 World Cup final. Yet even after beginning his reign with three straight wins, Schmidt's supposed Midas touch was found wanting as he finished his tenure with a dispiriting record of 12

Bright prospect: Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii on the run against Italy

victories and 19 defeats. Only a thumping defeat of Italy prevented Schmidt bowing out with a record seven straight defeats.

There are the bones of a very good side in loosehead Angus Bell, lock Will Skelton, openside Fraser McReight, centre Len Ikitau and Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii, if they can find the right position for the rugby league convert. Yet Schmidt failed to address the Wallabies' two biggest weaknesses: their maddening inconsistency - showcased by throwing away victories against Ireland and France in this summer's Nations Championship - and their lack of an established No10.

Even England's ever-changing cast of centres seems settled compared to Schmidt's use of fly-halves, with nine different men

In the hot seat: Les Kiss has finally started role after his delayed arrival

playing at stand-off since the beginning of last year's Lions tour.

Some of those changes have been enforced by injury. Noah Lolesio was primed to start the Lions series before injuring his neck in a warm-up match against Fiji, and league convert Carter Gordon hurt a calf against Ireland, although Schmidt invested a lot of time in Tane Edmed last year only to drop him coming into the Nations Championship.

Kiss has kept Declan Meredith in the saddle against Japan in Osaka, providing a small measure of continuity. Yet the fact that veterans Quade Cooper and James O'Connor are declaring themselves available for next year's World Cup demonstrates how wide open the position is, which is not good for former London Irish coach Kiss with the countdown ticking ever louder.

The single biggest self-inflicted mistake has been in the handover from Schmidt to Kiss, which was first announced in April 2025. The protracted transition was sold as a means of ensuring continuity. In reality it was because Rugby

Instead of being in hot seat for Nations Championship he was an ordinary punter, to widespread bewilderment

Australia was not prepared to buy Kiss out of the remainder of his Queensland Reds contract for the 2026 Super Rugby season for an estimated A$600,000 (£313,000).

Even once the Super Rugby season had concluded, Kiss could have been in the hot seat for the start of the Nations Championship campaign or at the very least shadowing Schmidt in the coaching box. Instead he was pictured in the stands as an ordinary punter to widespread bewilderment Down Under.

"He had nothing else to do," former Australia scrum-half Nick Phipps told Stan Sports. "He should have been there... it just seems like a really big loss there. It feels like this last little interim period, we've lost a lot of ground and... lost the opportunity to build into next year's World Cup."

Now Kiss begins his tenure from a standing start against Jones, who will be desperate to administer a bloody nose to his former employers. "There's a lot of pressure on Australia," Jones helpfully pointed out. "It's a game that they'd be expected to win."

You can look to the emergence of lock Josh Canham and the arrivals of Angus Crichton and Mark Nawaqanitawase as reasons for optimism. Yet the narrative that Schmidt righted the good ship Matilda after Jones ran it aground goes only so far.

Jones might boast the Wallabies' worst losing percentage of the professional era - in his second stint - but Schmidt has the second worst. When he took over, Australia were ranked ninth in the world. They are now eighth. They were in a rut before and they are in a rut now and Kiss will have his work cut out to change that in just over 12 months until Australia kick off their own World Cup.

Flintoff walks out on Lions after taking Thunder role

England legend steps down as coach to next generation

Key had defended 'unsung hero' against press criticism

By Will Macpherson

DEPUTY CRICKET CORRESPONDENT

Andrew Flintoff has walked away from his job as England Lions coach with immediate effect, a week after Rob Key described him as an "unsung hero" of English cricket.

Flintoff said "unfortunately" he was stepping down from the role overseeing the development of England's next generation of players, but did not give a reason for his decision.

'Can't wait': Andrew

Flintoff has already

agreed to coach

Sydney Thunder in

the Big Bash

Flintoff, a legendary all-rounder, now has no official involvement in English cricket, but is head coach of Sydney Thunder, the Big Bash League franchise in Australia, with his first season beginning in December.

Flintoff returned to professional involvement in cricket with the England set-up in 2023, nine months after he experienced a horrific crash while filming the BBC show Top Gear in December 2022.

He worked with England's white-ball teams, including at the T20 World Cup in the Americas in 2024, and later that year he took over as Lions head coach. For two seasons, until last summer, he combined that work with being head coach of

Northern Superchargers, now Sun-risers Leeds, in the Hundred.

Key, England's managing director, has tipped him as a future England head coach, although he was not considered for the role when Brendon McCullum was sacked as Test coach recently, with the job going to Stephen Fleming.

Flintoff had already agreed to become Thunder head coach this winter, which would have meant he missed a portion of the Lions tour of South Africa. When Key was asked about this last Friday, he launched a robust defence of Flint-off, after an article in the Sunday Times called his appointment a "serious error".

"I think that's done a complete disservice to one of our greatest cricketers," Key said. "We've been incredibly fortunate to have him do it. I thought it was disrespectful for people to say that he shouldn't have been doing it. He's been outstanding in that job, and we've been incredibly fortunate to have him."

A week on, Flintoff has left the job, thanking Key for "trusting me with one of the most important roles in English cricket" and saying he "can't wait to get started with Thunder".

Mike Yardy, coach of England Under-18s, will step in as coach for the Professional County Club Sober. XI game against the touring Pakistanis at Beckenham next week.

"Unfortunately I've made the decision to step away from my role with the Lions," Flintoff said. "Not only have I enjoyed my time having the opportunity to work with the best young cricketers in the country, but have taken great pride in seeing them develop."

In an Instagram post, he joked, "good luck to whoever takes over, you have some big pants to fill."

Helping hand: Emilio Gay receives treatment after injuring his right shoulder

England face headache as Gay injures his shoulder

By Will Macpherson

Emilio Gay has added to England's top-order fitness concerns after sustaining an innocuous shoulder injury playing a textbook on-drive for four.

Opener Gay, who played his first three Tests earlier this summer, was named in the England squad for the series against Pakistan, which begins at Headingley on Aug 19.

England are already beginning their post-Brendon McCullum era without their No.3, Jacob Bethell, who is missing with a knee injury and will be replaced by Jordan Cox.

So the sight of Gay retiring hurt while playing for Durham against Middlesex in the Metro Bank One Day Cup will have been of major concern to the selectors.

Facing Toby Roland-Jones, he stroked a beautiful on-drive down the ground for four but immediately clutched his right shoulder. He faced one more ball before opting to retire hurt for nine.

Gay played no further part in the game and England said he would be assessed over the weekend. It is expected that he will have a scan on his shoulder today.

Thanks to excellent early-season form, Gay won the race to replace Zak Crawley as Ben Duckett's opening partner against New Zealand in June. He had his moments, scoring gritty, important half-centuries at Lord's and the Oval, before ending the series batting No6 as Ben Stokes was promoted to open in his final Test innings.

There is no specialist opening cover within the 16-man group, so England would have to get creative. Ollie Pope is the spare batsman, but he has opened only once, in Multan when he was dismissed for a duck, and is cover for numbers three to seven, and as wicketkeeper.

The only real option could be Jamie Smith to open, and giving Pope the gloves at No7. Perhaps Smith or Pope could move to three and Cox could open, although that would seem unfair on a Test rookie.

Interview

I once thought I was invincible – suddenly it's all aches and pains

Cal Crutchlow explains to Adam Wheeler why, at 40, he is back in MotoGP and riding in the British Grand Prix

The man who flops into the vacant chair inside the LCR Honda hospitality unit barely looks like he has been away. Cal Crutchlow, Britain's only MotoGP race winner in 45 years, with his "Popeye-esque" forearms and sinewy limbs, looks as fit now as when he entered MotoGP in 2011. The greying, shorn haircut and wrinkles are the only giveaway that this compulsive racer is now into his fifth decade. "From 30 to 35 I thought I was invincible and suddenly after 35 it is all aches and pains," he admits.

Crutchlow's eyebrow-raising longevity at the top of motorcycling has given this weekend's British Grand Prix – round 12 of 22 in a gripping MotoGP campaign – extra spice. He had 19 podium finishes and three victories in a 10-year stint in the world championship in which he rode factory Ducati and Honda machinery. He retired from competition at the end of the Covid-mired 2020 season on his terms, knowing he had given it his all.

Crutchlow's subsequent testing role with Yamaha included 11 sporadic substitute or wild-card outings between 2021 and 2023, but the helmet was seemingly unbuckled for good in October 2023 when a wrist infection

curtailed his riding. Aged 40, he is back.

Crutchlow, who arrived in MotoGP as a World Supersport champion and World Superbike race winner, raced for LCR, Honda's long-term satellite crew, for six years. His popularity and personality through that stint meant he was one of team principal Lucio Cecchinello's first calls when his rider, Johann Zarco, suffered a horrific accident at the Catalan Grand Prix in mid-May. The Frenchman is still recovering from ligament damage in his left knee, which has extended Crutchlow's return through to Silverstone this weekend.

"Somebody asked me three weeks before I came back if I was still riding and I said: 'Nope, haven't touched one [motorcycle] and won't again. Not interested...' and suddenly I'm back on," he says.

Crutchlow is at pains to clarify that his MotoGP activity is not an official comeback. He has participated in five rounds and gone from being race rusty on the works Honda (who have not secured an official podium finish this season) to the fringes of the points while having to adjust to the MotoGP sprint format that was introduced in 2023.

Zarco hopes to return next month, so Crutchlow might have a few more outings ahead. "My draw is different," he explains. "My first reply was 'no' but my wife, Lucy, said to me: 'Your whole life has been an adventure, why are you stopping now?' I looked at it like 'riding a motorcycle is riding a motorcycle: it isn't easy, but I know how to do it'. I was convinced. I am in the physical shape to do it. I'm also not scared of it. I did this because of the team and the manufacturer that asked me to do it.

"There is no expectation on me but I can feel myself getting competitive again. I feel p--- off with being at the back. It's a good thing because it means I haven't just come back to ride around and wave at the crowd because then it becomes dangerous. It is not a game to play."

Crutchlow knows the physical and mental toll of MotoGP. The most successful British rider of the modern era crashed 146 times in

"Somebody asked whether I was riding again. I said, "Nope, not interested..." Suddenly I'm back on"

his grand prix career. Most of his dismounts were at more than (or close to) 100mph and caused a litany of fractures, abrasions and haematomas. Crutchlow's worst season for falls was also his best. In 2016 he fell 26 times amid struggles with Michelin after it became the championship's single tyre supplier, but he also excelled with victories at Brno in the Czech Republic and Australia's Phillip Island, circuits that reward skill and courage. That year he also secured his sole career podium finish at Silverstone, beating Valentino Rossi in a close duel for second place.

Asked what aches first when he gets out of bed, Crutchlow answers: "My shoulder is bad; I have grade-four arthritis, and my knee: no cartilage, so it's bone on bone. When you are racing you

don't think about it, you just carry on. It's something we always did: crash, break bones and race days later. Or crash and have surgery and be back on the bike three days afterwards. Stupid things. It catches up with you."

Crutchlow's most extreme "stupid thing" came at the 2018 French Grand Prix. During qualifying at Le Mans he high-sided – when the rear tyre loses grip, over-rotates and suddenly re-grips to shoot the rider over the handlebars – and was taken away from the track in an ambulance. He spent that evening in hospital with blood in his lungs and was kept awake every two hours for analysis. By the morning, Crutchlow had checked himself out of the ward.

"Got in a car, drove to the circuit. Got a scooter to the

motorhome for my leathers and get out for warm-up," he recounts. After being cleared to race by medical staff he finished eighth. "It was a big one," he grimaces. "What happened after that was quite funny because I was cycling - which I do a lot - and I kept getting this twinge for the next two weeks. I thought I had sciatica. I went to see a doctor and an osteopath but they found nothing. The next race at Barcelona I went to the medical guys and said 'my arse is really sore'. They did a scan and found a cracked pelvis.

"I've done some really stupid things, and some I regret. At Ierez in 2020 I broke my scaphoid [bone on the thumb-side of the wrist], had it pinned on Tuesday and rode again on Friday. But I think all riders have stories like that."

Despite the success,

achievement and lucrative contracts that left Crutchlow set for life, by 2020 the grind had become too much. Testing for Yamaha became a way of easing the pace into retirement but the wrist infection brought that to a premature halt.

He admits that he then struggled with the transition into another lifestyle. "I had trouble. No doubt," he confesses. "I suppose it was because I didn't know what I would do next. I have businesses and investments, but I was away 290 days a year for MotoGP, and then I wasn't. I love doing things with Willow [his 10-year-old daughter]; the school run, the sports events. That fulfils me. But I was so used to being busy and so used to... focus. And then I wasn't. I came through the other side of it... whereas I know people who haven't. You might have millions in the bank, fine. But when the thing you did every day for 30 years suddenly stops..."

It turns out that racing on multi-million-pound prototype motorbikes is still a powerful draw. "It's like being an addict," Crutchlow says. "But that's not why I am back now. I was never addicted to riding a motorcycle - no motocross, no training, nothing in off-season - but, I think we are addicted to competition."

Considering his retirement and the fact that a degree of calm will resume when Zarco is fit, is he worried he has fallen off the wagon? He laughs. "It's not like falling off the wagon, because what happens then the next year? Or the year after? I came back because when I stopped with the testing role, it was not on my terms," he says. "It's more about that. I had finished my career on my terms... but the testing? No."

Crashes have been an undercurrent of this season, with Zarco's injury and the accidents to others such as Álex Márquez and Marco Bezzecchi reminders that 227mph motorcycles are perilous when skirting the edge of physics.

The racing has been spellbinding for the last season of the 1,000cc engine-sized bikes, before a pivot to 850cc power units. MotoGP is drawing record crowds in the first full year under the Liberty Media corporation that owns Formula One, but the series now demands more promotion and marketing from its stars.

"Over the last few years MotoGP is getting stronger and it is getting better for entertainment," Crutchlow says. "The media emphasis on the riders is much more, which is hard for them also, but from an entertainment purpose and watching at home on

TV it's amazing, and when you come to the circuit it's better for those fans and spectators as well."

He appreciates the shift from inside the bubble. "Half the riders like it [the extra attention] because they want to be superstars and the other half don't because there is a lot more commitment, and they just want to race the motorcycle; which is what I was. I understand it because we are in a business and nearly all sports are," he says.

"I knew what I needed to do for myself as well as the team and the manufacturer. It was not easy to manage. If I was 'in' now for 22 grands prix, it would be really hard. The pressure is very high."

This weekend Crutchlow will be the first Briton in five years to ride a factory-backed motorcycle at Silverstone. The British GP has been dropping in popularity since he took pole in 2016, when 155,000 turned up to the weekend. By last year the figure had dropped to less than 100,000 and was the second-lowest attended round in Europe.

Despite wins in Moto2 for Sam Lowes and Jake Dixon in recent years, there has not been a British racer able to follow in Crutchlow's fading slipstream. A simplistic explanation is more opportunities exist in British and World Superbike, but the quandary of the UK's eroding presence in MotoGP is something Crutchlow has been quizzed on repeatedly.

"I've tried a million times to help or do something or to think of ways to get British guys in this paddock, and in MotoGP, but it is so tough and I don't really know what it is," he says. "We have a British Talent Cup, Sportbike and schemes in British Superbikes... but we still cannot get people here. Is it a lack of talent? In my opinion, determination outweighs talent. The biggest thing with some British riders is that they don't make the jump to another championship. They are too comfortable. I know it's not easy to do because you need funding and other details, but the riders in British Superbikes will be there the rest of their careers."

This year's Silverstone race will be Crutchlow's 10th British GP and perhaps his swan-song on home soil. And he knows he will be back at the centre of the fuss.

"I've always had great support at Silverstone, as I've had at tracks around the world, and I put that down to being relatable," he says. "I say the truth and I come from a normal background. I am not perceived as a superstar; I don't see myself as different to the people that come to watch. They might be good at their job, and I'm good at mine."

Norris and Piastri keep peace after F1 title battle

FORMULA ONE

By Scott Hunt

McLaren team principal Andrea Stella is pleased Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri have remained a harmonious pairing in the wake of last season's title scrap and has not yet given up hope of the British driver retaining his crown.

Norris clinched a maiden world title in a battle that also involved Max Verstappen after Piastri had held a 34-point lead with nine races remaining.

There were a number of flashpoints and moments of contention in the title run-in, with McLaren's "papaya rules" (essentially race hard and clean but do not crash into each other) put to the test in an effort to ensure a level playing field between their title chasers.

McLaren have not been able to match their form of recent seasons under the sport's new regulations for 2026, as Mercedes have led the way from Ferrari.

But Stella has heaped praise on the performance of his drivers and is particularly happy to see peace remains.

"It wasn't a given that, after last year - when they found themselves battling for the world title right up to the final race - the harmony

they'd built would remain intact: yet not only has this not changed, but the relationship between them and with the team has actually become even stronger," Stella said in a McLaren Q&A.

"And whilst this might, in a sense, have been expected of Lando - given that he was ultimately the one to become champion - it was not quite so predictable for Oscar, who, instead, has relied even more heavily on the team to accelerate his development, both on and off the track."

Mercedes have nailed the 2026 rules to give Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli the platform to claim six victories and hold a 50-point lead over Lewis Hamilton, with his team-mate George Russell nine points further back.

Norris sits fifth, a hefty 91 points off the lead, but he did pick up a first win of the season in Hungary before the summer break.

Stella added: "If we can continue the season as we did in Budapest, I think we can still achieve a great deal. To do so, we must keep pushing with the development and ensure we outpace our rivals - who certainly aren't standing still."

"Of course, the gap in both championships is significant, but we remember last year's lesson well."

LTA extends trans women ban to all female matches

Competitive play at any level now covered in new policy

Davies welcomes move as 'protection from unfair sport'

By Simon Briggs TENNIS CORRESPONDENT

The Lawn Tennis Association has banned transgender women from all competitive female matches, even if those matches are only part of internal club competitions.

The news that the LTA has widened its support for female tennis and padel players was welcomed by Baroness Davies of Devonport, the Olympic swimming medallist who has led the opposition to transgender participation in female sports.

"Good," Davies wrote in a post on X. "Sports are now doing what they should have always done. Protect their female players & athletes from unfair sport. That's a busy responsibility."

The LTA had already been among the stricter sporting bodies on this point, issuing guidance that affected county and national competitions – as well as inter-club matches – at the end of 2024.

At that stage, it had decided to leave individual clubs to make their own policy for internal ladders, leagues and knockout competitions. However, the picture has now changed as a result of updated rules issued by the Equalities and Human Rights Commission this week.

On reviewing the EHRC's

Support: Baroness Davies says the wider ban on trans women in British tennis was overdue

policy – which updates the previous 2011 stance and is informed by last year's Supreme Court ruling that the "concept of sex is binary" – the LTA now believes it has no choice but to extend its restriction on transgender participation to all competitive matchplay at any level.

Tennis has so far been spared any major controversies about non-binary athletes entering women's events, although there was one high-profile transgender player – Renee Richards – who competed at tour level in the 1970s, and went on to become Martina Navratilova's coach.

Richards later said that the biological advantages of male-born players gave them a clear advantage after transition, adding that she would have been the best player on the women's tour if she had transitioned and entered competitions in her twenties. As it was, she made the switch in her early forties, which limited her impact.

Navratilova has become one of the leading voices in opposition to transgender inclusion in tennis. "It's insane and it's cheating," she wrote in a column for The Sunday Times in 2019. "I am happy to address a transgender woman in whatever form she prefers, but I would not be happy to compete against her. It would not be fair."

In its original guidance from 2024, the LTA stated: "It is clear that tennis and padel are gender-affected sports – the average man has an advantage when playing against the average woman. This includes longer levers with which to reach and hit the ball and increased cardiovascular capacity means being able to get around the court more easily".

Itauma prepared to make history

BOXING

By George Sessions

Moses Itauma, the rising British heavyweight, says he is ready to come through a "long night" with Filip Hrgovic when he attempts to make boxing history.

Itauma will become the youngest world heavyweight champion since Mike Tyson if he beats Hrgovic at the 02 Arena on Aug 29.

The 21-year-old from Chatham was described as the hottest prospect in boxing by Queensberry promoter Frank Warren this week. And he is ready to make history after it was announced on Tuesday he would fight for the vacant International Boxing Federation belt.

"I was like, 'if I'm fighting Hrgo-

Destiny date: Moses Itauma fights for world heavyweight title on Aug 29

vic and I've got the opportunity for it to be for a world title? Yeah, chuck a world title on the line', I didn't really have a feeling," Itauma told British media on a Zoom call yesterday.

"I was taking Hrgovic serious and now that the fight is for a world title, I am still taking it serious. It is still the same fight. I just had an interview with BBC and they asked me what is the one thing that people don't know about Moses Itauma? And I said, 'I don't actually want to be under the bright lights but with the way I am going, it looks like I ain't got no choice'."

Itauma said of Hrgovic: "Of course he's a very good fighter. He's only had one defeat and he only lost because of the cut. Yeah, he's solid. I'm in for a long night but I'll be all right. I feel I am in a good space."

A scoop is served alongside the fruit, poa bed is red wine and spice.

SOMERSET

Walnut

At Sharpham Park, near Glastonbury, former Mulberry boss Roger Saul has established one one of the country's best-known commercial walnut orchards. The country's clay-rich soils and mild climate are shed for the crop, which has inspired local ice cream makers, such as Palette and Pasture, to bring the knollsky out into their range.

SURREY

Pear

Surrey's produce, whether gooseberries, tapberries or blackcurrants growing in local gardens, or pears in its many orchards, inspires the ice-cream and sachets made by Brock Ice Cream - formerly Britain's Ice Cream (named after founder Ben Govier's Sons of Mack Iab). Among Govier's most memorable creations is a delicate pear sorbet, made using Catillay pears from National Trust owned orchards, a stewing variety that turns a deep red when cooked.

WARWICKSHIRE

Blackcurrant

The natural sharpness of these little berries marries well with the sweetness of sorbet or dairy ice cream.

WEST MIDLANDS

Mosala chai

South Asian food culture is an integral part of the West Midlands's culinary identity, bringing with it the ritual of chai drinking. Our affection for this fragrant, spiced tea has inspired a new generation of frozen desserts, from traditional knife to scoops of spiced potato, starting with a hot-tube across Birmingham. Indian street food and chai still divide. Thai has taken its signature brew and turned it into ice-cream, bringing along these warming flavours to Louisiana, ginger, cinnamon and clove.

WEST SUSSEX

Strawberries & cream West Sussex is one of the UK's leading strawberry-growing areas, with a thriving soft fruit industry, and it lends its produce to one of the signature flavours at Worthing-based creamery Sussex Ice Cream Company.

A simple pink scoop might be a childhood favourite, but this one is too good for the kids.

WEST YORKSHIRE

Liquorice

Once a medicinal root crop, liquorice has been woven into West Yorkshire's identity since Point-East's famous cakes first appeared in the 20th century. This was the natural starting point for Yummy Yorkshire, a Blackersfield-based farm that began making its own ice-creams in 2007. Liquorice was the first flavour it created. The invention later evolved into Liquorice & Blackcurrant, with a tip of or fruit running through it, which has since scooped a Great Taste Award and a Yorkshire Finest Taste Award.

WORCESTERSHIRE

Cherry marshmallow

For centuries, Worcestershire was, along with Kent, one of England's foremost cherry-producing regions. That heritage is still enjoyed today: when Churchfields, a little generation family farm and ice cream business near Benfworth, turned to its youngest family member for inspiration, five-year-old Sam provided an idea that was too good to ignore. Cherry Marshmallow - a flavour that is conjured up for Sam's primary school project - prompted his aunt, Churchfields owner Gillian Kerten, to fold mint marshmallows through cherry ice cream, creating a scoop the county can be proud of.

MARRIAGE DIARIES

My husband wants us to sleep in his old marital bed

I recently married for the second time to a wonderful man after a brief but romantic courtship. My first husband left me for another woman, which was traumatising. My second husband is someone I knew vaguely from work, a couple of years ago, just works after he had left his wife, we bumped into each other at an event. Sparks flow and, very quickly, we were in a relationship.

I felt damaged after my first relationship and worried constantly about my new man cheating on me. leaving me, or thinking that I am not quite enough. My quest a lot of time at his former marital home with his wife, claiming they were discussing finances and their children, but it did unsettle me. I never made a fuss, as I didn't want him to think I was jealous or possessive.

I listened carefully to all the negative things he said about his wife, making notes not to repeat her mistakes. We were happy - the relationship was initially very much on his terms, but I was madly in love with him and would do anything for him. When he proposed, just a year after we started our relationship, I said yes instantly, and we were married shortly afterwards at a beautiful yogi retreat in Spain with a small number of our friends.

We have just bought an impressive warehouse flat - something he had always wanted but his first wife had refused to consider. My husband likes masters design, modular sofa, clean lines and large scale pieces. I bought him an Eatero chair as a wedding person, and he was thrilled. But shortly before moving on, he said that he wanted to get the super-king-sized leather sleigh bed he had taken from the marital home out of storage and use it in our bedroom.

When he left his wife, made him remove the marital bed from their place and promptly installed a four power in its stoutkids to a bit of patience. He had chosen the best to rather more often, in a dark brown leather - very much his aesthetic. But it wasn't on the ground or taste that I felt weird about it.

I wasn't comfortable with the idea of sleeping where his wife once did, and I felt ever so slightly uneasy that he seemed unwilling to let go of his past. I brought him to my luncheon, and he laughed it off. "I like this bed," he said. "I chose it, and I've chosen you to sleep

He has mentioned more than once that his first wife was 'very passionate'

in it with me. It's just a bed frame. I will get a new mattress."

And although that felt almost romantic, I couldn't help feeling unsure about it. I don't like the thought of sleeping on "her" side of the bed, or worse, what they did in it.

We are both in our life, and I think our sex life is good. I am in love with him, and being in his arms is the best feeling. But he has mentioned more than once that his first wife was "very passionate", and it's starting to give us my mind. Will making love to me in the same spot he did with his wife but him to make comparisons? I don't want the spectre of his first wife hovering above us as we sleep or cuddle.

I'm not having any interest anything about this to him in case it makes me look insecure and wordy. But should I stand up for myself and start nagging at him to remove it? I don't really want to be that proud if I can help it. I'd should I just focus on the fact that I have him now and his on doesn't?

Relationships

What does a sex therapist really do all day?

If your intimate relations are awkward, joyless or even non-existent, talking to a professional like Katie Bottle could help. Here, she explains how

As a sex therapist, I make space for people to let go of what they think should be happening and move towards what they truly desire. I often see clients who are stuck in their sex lives, or not having the kind of pleasure they want. There are seven key things I have learnt in my time as a sex therapist that can help individuals break free and improve their sex lives.

If people avoid talking about sex, it is often for the wrong reasons. It's no common for people to be avoidant about the topic of sex that the underlying reasons for it are rarely even considered. I have found that at the root of any avoidance or awkwardness there is actually something the individual has cancerophiest. They avoid talking about sex, so I'm not seriously, they believe that doing so could reveal catastrophic truths, such as the time partner's family insurance about someone else or that others are far more competent in the bedroom than they are. These unexamined wordlines are rarely the reality.

A client may say "I think he really doesn't find me attractive any more, since I've given birth" and my response is "Oh, but what makes you think that, have you asked him? Have you asked what might be going on with him, or been curious about the changes in your sex life?" If I could give only one piece of advice, it would be to let go of assumptions and expectations and find out what is going on with your partner.

Shame is the ultimate passion killer. Individuals often carry unconscious shame, which can greatly impact desire. Feelings of shame may be

linked to negative sexual experience but shame can date back to childhood. It can be surprising for people to realize that their sex life is being affected by beliefs and feelings originally unrelated to sex. For example, a children have learnt to be ashamed of their own sexish if they were expected to suppress them in favour of other people's. As an adult, this may cause them to be casing on their partner and to totally disconnect from their own pleasure and experience. In therapy, this relates to what we call conditions or worth believing that we are worthy only if we meet certain conditions. Unpicking these conditions of worth can pave the way for far greater passion.

Our particular client, a single woman in her 30s, was struggling with sexual shame. We talked about a difficult sexual experience and she came to the realms since that the experience had not been consensual. Once she was able to see him for what it actually was, and to think about how her body had felt, she shame began to dissipate. She then refrained the experience as she was meant. It was a tough evaluation, but this alignment was ultimately incredibly throng for her.

I think and expect type can be changed. Many aspects of a sexual relationship can be transformed by therapeutic work. A woman should think so very common but there is great potential for sex drives to become more in one. There is a playful erotic exercise which can be really helpful; the couple "show and tell" by demonstrating to each other what they like through self-pitmore. Couples find this game-changing for increasing their desire and libido and I highly recommend anyone in a trusting partnership try this exercise.

A "talking about sex therapy can't work, not a lot, but it can lead perspective and help you understand your own needs."

Similarly, people may have a fixed pathway to organs, but this can change. By spending time focusing on these issues, they may discover, for example, that they can expand from nipple plus. A recently divorced woman in her 30s came to see me because she was feeling lost within her sexual self. She had been a wife and a parent for more than half her life and was born to enter into a new form of relationship and not an adventure but didn't know where to start. After working on self-pitmore and becoming more aware of her body's responses, she found that she had a new fantasy life. focused on being dominant rather than submitting, like write from low confidence and self-worth to loving her body and feeling empowered about having choices.

An "achievement mindset" is not helpful when it comes to sex. Goal-orientated pressure can really diminish sex. This can be particularly

apparent for clients who are trying to conceive, as the pressure of timing can lead to difficulty maintaining an erection. But striving to achieve "can cause psychosexual issues in many other scenarios. People who experience issues such as vaginismus, erectile dysfunction, delayed, early or absent ejaculation will often be feeling a great deal of pressure - from a partner, societal norms, or themselves.

People would be far less concerned about achieving certain sexual goals if they knew the wide variation in people's experience and knowledge. Some women are unfamiliar with their own gratitude, some married couples have never had sex, some men do not know how to perform penetration. I see couples, for example, who have been to the doctors for their struggle with conception; yet when they came to see me and we talk it becomes apparent that penetration isn't actually occurring. Little to no sexual experience is far more common than many would assume.

Authenticity is the antidote to shame and insecurity, and the key to intimacy

Planning sex can be genuinely sexy - plus it reduces the risk of rejection. People want to expect that there should be local spontaneity in their sex life; that they should be having unpredictable sex every other day of the week, on the kitchen counter; and that it should all getสน, if it is known for most people, life simply gets in the way. The expectation of spontaneity also means that sex isn't talked about beforehand; couples assume they should be completely aligned and just know what each other wants. But this is unrealistic.

People are usually resistant to planning sex, but it can be very sexy and erotic - communication throughout the day about the where and the when can build up the arousal. Equally, deciding in advance not to have sex, feels as much better than one person spontaneously initiating, only to have the other person turn away.

Planning sex was transformative for a couple in their 30s who, when they first came to see me, thought they would never be able to have sex again. The woman had life. She man had painful athletic legs, and every time they tried to have sex one or both of them would be in pain and take days to recover. Attempting to have sex had become a tense and sad experience. Initially we worked on building intimacy and connections through some penetration exercises, then we then put a picture of a specific bodies and came up with different sexual positions for them to try including the use of supportive cushions. They were delighted to be able to be intense in these new ways.

Authenticity, not perceived attractiveness, is what is important to many people, regardless of gender, have negative feelings about their body, worry about their appearance or about being "enough" for their partner. But it's not bode that make a satisfying sexual connection it is feelings of pleasure and the same feelings. Authenticity is the antidote to shame and insecurity and the key to intimacy. If people are struggling with insecurity we can look at the relationship, whether they are accepted for who they are, and whether they take pride in all that their body does for them. Working with people around their truth, their authentic self, is powerful.

There is such a thing as sex homework. Sex homework can involve journalling, self-exploration exercises or whole-body massage. But a task is to temporarily avoid penetration. This removes the perceived goal from sex and allows for more focus on sensations and emotions. This can be transformative for people, even if they've been having sex together for years.

What to pack to optimise a self-catering kitchen

Say goodbye to dull knives, stale teahags and spice droughts with Silvana Franco's essential checklist of staples, condiments and utensils

Those of us who like to self-cater when on holiday are used to placing ourselves at the mercy of someone else's kitchen.

While the accommodation you choose will usually list the appliances provided, what's in the cupboard and drawers is anyone's guess. You may keep on open a well-stocked space rack and a knife that can actually cut a tomato. More likely, you'll find a jar of dusty grassy granules and a blade so blunt it wouldn't trouble butter.

Obviously if you're going abroad, a

outdoor full of knives may raise a few eyebrows at the airport, and walking around the local market with your shopping leader ellathe will be more of a pleasure than a cheer. But for the the per cent of Brits taking a holiday at home this year, I've compiled a list of essentials.

After enough holidays spent hunting for a non-eminent bottle opener and grumbling over the lack of tin foil, I've learned exactly what to pack to ensure my holiday kitchen is really home away from home.

THE ESSENTIAL STAYCATION KIT

Chef's knife

If there's one thing you can be sure of in a self-catering joint, it's that my knives will be hopelessly dull. Take a home 24-in chef's knife for your main prep, plus a small puck through sharpener to quickly revive the rental's blunt blades.

Tea towels

You'll be lucky to find more than one in your rental. Some hosts supply a mini-dressing kit of cloth, sponge and bread now tea towel, which of course, as it hasn't been washed, is totally unable to dry anything. Pack at least two from home, which you can use to safely wrap your knife while in transit.

Lightweight lunches or

wooden shopping board Cleaners are the one on site will be warped, stained or covered in short rings. Taking your own lightweight option ensures a clean prep surface. Better yet, it doubles as a serving platter for evening cheese and characteristic boards.

Kitchen scissors with a

bottle opener match Fitting arms, shipping herbs in a cup, or opening vacuum packed bacon - a solid pair of scissors or a multilasting essential. One with an integrated bottle opener takes you from meal prep to cold beer.

Small coffee maker

I've opened in places that provide coffee a coffee machine with only two complimentary pods, or just a bottle. I now always pack a small make pot or cafeteria. It takes up minimal space and guarantees a proper morning brew.

Fine micro grater

For grating cheese, mincing garlic and ginger, or sewing lemons. It's slender too easy to parki, and saves you from wrestling with badly, blunt rental low graces.

Roll of tin foil

Your flexible friend, foil will not put cover or wrap leftovers and picnic parcels. It will rescue ravaged roasting tins.

INGREDIENTS TO ARRIVE WITH

I take a few- pronged appears 6-km. First, a bit of a little grating for a simple arrival-night dinner and breakfast the next day. Secondly, a shopping list draws up after assessing the kitchen cupboards. It's worth taking a few minutes to roughly calculate how much you think you'll use across your stay, so you don't end up with that if half packs and bottles that end up in the bin came check-out time.

Something to drink

on the first night If you're taking wine, make sure it has a poppable cork, glass stopper or screw top. Pre-drill any necessary drinks so they are ready to pour the moment the bags are dropped.

Something to drink

the next morning I never know teahags or coffee to chance and always pack a little bag of Earl Grey and some good ground coffee. Walking on to that a box of nate, generic boulder's tea is no way to start your holiday.

Pasta/needle/grains

Miracle out and dream about too much worth 25g 100g per person into a table/ a bag. The bag will come in handy later for storing leftover cheese or packing up picnic snacks.

Tub of sauce or chilli

Take the stress out of the first night dinner by packing a substantial sauce or chilli (see up below) that can be released to serve over pasta, rice or noodles.

A sliced loaf

Don't hunk on finding a bread knife in a rental kitchen. A quality sliced loaf guarantees stress-free toast for breakfast and our sandwiches for trips out on day one.

Small tub of salted butter

The sturdy tub won't get squashed in tomato, and ready to spread butter is much better for making quick bottles straight from the fridge on your first morning.

Six eggs

The perfect solution to many hungry situations.

INGREDIENTS TO ADD TO YOUR DAY-ONE SHOPPING LIST

Small bottle of olive oil

Don't rely on the sticky bottle of vegetable oil left behind by previous guests. Pick a mid-range olive oil that is versatile enough to fry morning eggs and whisk into a quick dressing.

Tin or jar of fish

A quick store-copboard protein that's perfect for throwing new squash and sandwiches. If fish isn't your thing, a tin of quality ham or corned beef works just as well.

Tin or jar of white beans or

chickpeas The taste for many a salad,

summary soup, quick

teachale or creamy dip, a

brilliant and cheap way to bulk out easy meals without having to spend ages standing over a hot store.

Grapies

If you pick just one cheese, make it grippier. It boasts a wonderful depth of flavour and incredible melting properties (perfect for a quick frying-pan season), and does the job of both cocktail and parmesan, saving valuable fridge space.

Lemons

Ship buying a bottle of vinegar and one lemons instead to add acidity to your meals, as well as the

necessary ring to your

Gill's. Pop one in the flavour

to grate over pasta and grilled fish for brightness on demand.

Spring onions

Do you want to spend your holiday pooling onions? No neither. Spring onions can be added to everything - including the barbecue - with minimal effort, meaning no half-used brown onions peagling out the way forever.

Fresh tomatoes

Ship the thawed variety at the height of summer. Slice fresh ones for sandwiches, chop for salads, grate for a platter of pan on stream, or thawed them with garlic and olive oil for an easy,

vibrant sauce.

LUXURY ITEMS YOU WON'T REGRET PACKING

GET-AHEAD IDEAS TO EASE YOUR ARRIVAL

Freeze a sauce as a

cool bag to pass

Freeze pasta sauce or chilli solid in a one-stable container, using this to keep your cool bag thilled on the journey. I see an ice-cream tub or plastic minceray box which can be reused throughout the stay.

Prop a freezer door

cocktail before you leave A freezer on knall can also keep the icebag cool and be ready to pass the moment you arrive. For a classic segment, fill a bottle if some flip-top buttermilk bottles with equal quantities of London Dry Gin, sweet vermouth and Campati, shake well and freeze overnight.

Pack a flavour-kit bag

A couple of stock cakes, a

small jar of de-cured spice

paste and a little bottle of

hot sauce or smoky chilli flakes will add magic to the simplest dishes without you having to shelf out the big packs you'll never get through. Throw in these emergency sachets of salt and pepper you picked up in Port, just in case.

Take a small box of

practical kitchen

essentials from home

Some hot bags, a couple of 3-chilles, a handful each of laundry and dishwasher tabs, a roll of kitchen towel and a few back-up ice-cube bags in case there's no trip.

Book an online grocery

Modern life

Green houses shatter the peace of Harpurhey

A new development of eco-homes in Greater Manchester is popular with residents, but derided as 'prison-like' by their neighbours. Ben East reports

It's a blisteringly hot afternoon in north Manchester, the harsh sun heating off the angular pale red-bock walls that make up Harpurhey's imposing new Paramount development. These 24 new and affordable low-carbon homes have been built to meet eco standards, and - just months after completion - are both fully occupied and award-winning.

But not everyone is convinced by them. "The thing is, they're a complete momentarily," says Harpurhey resident John Elvin Farmer, 70. "I need to stop here when it was green space on my way to the shops.

"There'd be shade from the trees, and all sorts of people sitting outside in the summer. It's disheated, really, the way these eco houses have been thrown up."

June Artigues, 87, has spent most of her retirement looking out over the former green space from her home just off Rochdale Road. She used to marvel at birds nesting and people taking their desks have over to sit out. Now, all she sees is a huge wall and a run of housing curving towards the Edwardian Grade II listed Harpurhey Baths.

"And just look at them - the windows aren't just tiny, there's not enough of them," she says. "It's always been a designer conclusion that this development would happen, because it's Manchester city council land. I'd have preferred they didn't build them here in the first place. But when they decided to, could they not have made them look a little less, well, stark?"

These are concerns that councillor Gavin White, Manchester city council's executive member for housing and regeneration, is more than aware of. After all, when he celebrated the completion of these super-insulated, airtight homes - which have no gas supply and are located by air source - best people - the engineers and small media platform 'L'were derisory.

"Luvée like a prison," said one. "Moreover, ugly buildings that completely ignore what humans like in a house," said another. "Most all social housing look like this!"

This sentiment is what most concern Billy Thompson, the head of policy and campaigns at design practice, is not his/her and think tank (co-are Streets. If new homes - especially social housing - don't look appealing to existing communities, why would anyone welcome them?)

"With all development, you need to go with the grain of what people actually want to see," says Thompson, whose organization prioritizes the concept of "gentle density."

"We've done a lot of work over the years, making visual preference surveys where you give people a choice, and actually that's a really powerful tool that isn't deployed by developers or councils enough."

Instead, what end-up happening all too often is that low-carbon, energy-efficient homes - landside in principle - end up being labelled by residents such as Farmer, above an eco-momentum.

The Paramount development satisfies the Passivhaus standards for energy efficiency that have begun to be adopted in Britain in recent years. "Passivhauser" work on the principle - established in Germany in the early 1980s - that best should be kept inside in the winter and outside in the summer, and that this should be done by consuming little energy.

But Passivhauses have their critics - when it comes to their construction. "Passivhauses don't have to be awful, but they have conceptual flaws," says Thompson. "They think of 'grocery' very narrowly - like seeking a healthy diet just by eating peas and apples - whose we'd like to broaden the definition of what sustainability means in house building."

Of course, the sheer aesthetics of a house are always going to be a matter of personal taste. "People will have an opinion, which is fair enough," agrees White, standing in front of the terraced frontage that has caused such a stir.

Actually you could say you should have maybe one more window on the

Resident

front, but I don't think anyone necessarily wants councillors designing houses.

"What's more important is that these homes work, are affordable, and people enjoy living in them. And given that they were fully occupied as soon as they were finished, I think it's fair to say that people were excited to live in them."

For Josh Barlow, 54, a new bedroom apartment on this development has been a genuine life-changer. Until recently he was homeless, so his new flat has given him a secure-lane to combine 40-hour working weeks with university studies. He's not bothered about the small windows, either.

"If you want sunlight, you can open the islands," he says. "But if you take time to understand how a Passivhaus works, then it really can cut your bills. I've not had the heating on for months, but alas, feel how cool it is in here now."

"I've become the guy on this development telling everyone how to operate their system, but that's fine. People want to make these houses work, they're proud to live in them."

Around the corner in one of the three-bedroom properties, Martin Sautara, a young professional, is similarly delighted. "I am so lucky, happy and grateful," she says, looking out over her kitchen sheet. Sautara's previous house was more traditional terraced social housing stock, but it was old, and her 20,000 circulation condition would flare up in the cold.

"Here, I've been fine; last winter it was warm without needing the heating on all the time, and now it's comfortably cool, right!"

It is. And perhaps it should be, given that there's only one ground floor window at the front of the house.

"We have enough light out the back," says Sautara. "I've come to think of this house as quite pretty, and it's so close to all the shops and the park. We like everything about living here, to be honest."

So, as a certain former mayor of Greater Manchester enters No.10, could Paramount be a vision, a blueprint even, for our future interest. The development is part of Project 3000, a Manchester city council initiative to deliver affordable homes that, early Burnham's Greater Manchester Combined authority underpinned with brownfield housing funding.

Paramount counts as brownfield - much to the chagrin of residents who liked the green space - because the original terraced housing around Paramount Road was cleared in the 1970s. Still, it's such allocation of small tracts of council land for developments that are more reasonable in scope, cost and impact that White-finish might attract interest from outside Greater Manchester.

"The whole public estate could be used across the country, particularly on brownfield sites like those where you have closet shops, schools, parks, transport links and amenities built in," he says. "It really could generate a lot of the housing that we need."

"Hopefully, Andy as prime minister - because he has said a lot about council housing already - will transfer this model of how you can use public land. Every town and city in the UK will have sites like this, so absolutely what we've been doing here could be replicated!"

One of that is the case, it will be just as important that what existing residents think and feel about their communities

A 'don't think people want councillors designing houses' - Sir Gavin White

• and not just how they operate but how they look - is taken into account.

"Actually, people aren't necessarily opposed to all development," agrees Thompson. "They're not anti-housing. It's just they want houses that feel like they're a part of the place in which they live, rather than houses that could be

anywhere, or aren't nice to look at when they have to walk past them every day.

"When you're starting a project like this, especially on a small brownfield site - which I absolutely agree should be the way for want to terms of urban housing: it's about creating and maintaining community rather than just building. Putting some heart and soul into it."

In the meantime, Harpurhey statuants such as June Artigues are, as

always, generous and phlegmatic about the situation.

"I know that we need more housing, and I accept that," she says. "So do it, build homes for people who need them the most, but for God's sake, there's kinds of space around here.

"It is great that local people will have somewhere to live now. But did it need to be right here and look like this? That's what I struggle with."

Coolcation. It's an abound word. I'm sorry for using it but apparently that's what we're all after. A cool vacation - cool as in

not hot, rather than effortlessly stylist, unflappable, an constant or "gadda" My neighbour returned from Cyns last week, returned it looked as if she'd holidayed on the actual surface of the sun, and declared that her family won't go on holiday to one of the more typical European spots and summer because it's become too hot.

Instead, perhaps she'll look to Scandinavia or Scotland, house, a holiday lettings business, has reported that searches for "cool-cations" have risen 420 per cent in the past three months, and Scotland is the most popular choice.

You see? The posh had it right all along: Scotland is the best place to be in August. Plenty of them will be racing up there this week, since Wednesday is the Glorious Twelfth and the beginning of the groner shooting season. The Game Act of 1918 declared that Aug 12 was the right date to start going after those funny little red lords, and so it's remained.

Some will go by car because it's easy to transport the lukeaders that way, passing at Tchay for the night, and potentially the House of Brear to stock up on essentials like Bevor glens and anti-midge spray. Others may catch the sleeper. Some will fly.

Forget Nice or Florence airports. The summer place to be on Aug 13 is Inverness airport, we used to joke at Zailor touch wrist, because tweedy sorts would all be flying in before dispensing to various estates.

Scotland's at its best in August: the warmest it'll be all year, and lighter too, than down south. In the Borders, where I grew up, it seemed to hardly get dark in the summer. So traffic pass to get to the beach, and you'll find endless stretches of white sand in various spots, and cold lakes to plunge into. The midges aren't great, true, but that's why you need to remember the Jungle Juice.

If you're very grand, you'll be off to your own Birkinhead island, just like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who - rumour has it - they stayed on the island of Tanera Mie (owned by hedge funder Jan Wood for a few days on their recent US trip.

Alternatively, you'll want a 10,000-

someone else's ancient clan tartan in a social flats gas up there with breaking wind in church. But the tartan thing was, largely, another invention of the Victorians. Scots had worn various tartans for centuries, but not "personal" ones with names. You pulled on whatever the local weaver had knocked up. Then along came Sir Walter Scott, and everyone started becoming deeply pretentious about it. The Balmoral tartan, for instance, is only "allowed" to be worn by the Bends and their bagpipes, - but it's black and red and not very jolly, so you wouldn't much want to wear it anyway.

Be warned: the comfort levels of grand Scottish houses or caddoes vary. You may be staring somewhere with plenty of hot water and staff who provide cooked breakfasts; or you may be staring in a lodge that's worn better days, with threadbare blankets on the beds and electric heaters. Don't be alarmed if the bath water runs brown. That's very typical, up here. You're bathing in poorly water that's run off the hills.

Ritchie Allsopp uploaded a photo of a brown bath while on holiday in Sara a few years ago, and various of her followers revealed themselves as plebs by being horrified. Don't make the same mistake. It's harmless.

You probably won't be allowed to rest in the evening, either, because there'll be reeling parties to attend. As we discussed recently on my Podcast, as a teenager I went to the Ohan Ball, catching a private boat from Mail across the Firth to the party with heydos of other teenagers in black tie.

We danced the several hours, marking our partners down in our little dance cards as far Netherfield, before keeping on the boat back to Mail. Dolphins accompanied us on the return journey, topping alongside us it started over light.

Poor, sheltered teenager that I was, I couldn't go and enjoy myself in Mispahd or Falkold. Instead, I was sent to Scotland to eat cheese bags in the heather by day and jig the Gay Gordons by night. Awfully wholesome.

Of course, if it's a cold-stone you're after then best avoid the Cabregones, where there's been a recent fire, too. But only a small one. Nothing compared to France and Spain. The top temperature in Inverness, this week? Just 19C. Imagine that. Glorious.

Next summer, think posh and stay cool in the Highlands

The remoter parts of Scotland offer all manner of austere delights - and no, you don't need a kilt

acre estate with a cawle or big house in the middle, plus fishing rights on a section of the Spey or the Dee tofter Scottish rivers are available, and a big hill to match up and down looking for they.

No killing around on a sunbed up there. I'm not sure they even know

what a sunbed is, north of Berwick. It would be like asking an local about a pair of shorts. Instead, you must be engaged in some sort of outdoors activity all day, so it makes a terrible holiday choice for children. Off the 20sth, away from the telly. Out you go, at Balmoral, Prince Philip took William and Harry

stallings just days after their mother's death. So one to weep, here, concentrate on that stag. I don't imagine the Prince Philip School of Childrearing will be palatable to everyone, but, sorry, that's how it goes in the Highlands.

Victoria and Albert made Scotland fashionable by falling in love with Bal-

moral and heading up there every summer. After the badly-faulty of the season in London, posh Victorians started seeming north for a few weeks of lurking about in tartan.

Don't panic: you don't need a kilt or even your own tartan. People make all sorts of fans about this, as if wearing

10 --- Modern life Saturday 8 August 2020 The Daily Telegraph

A new generation goes in pursuit of (the) Knowledge

In a vocation which traditionally attracts middle-aged white men, 21-year-old Bahrain Mujagata stands out – but he's not alone, Melissa Twigg learns

To be head, crowded, multicultural-central London, it is difficult to stand a seat – and even the most outrageously dressed people rarely turn heads. But at the Astral Cafe in Pembroke, the polite and softly spoken Bahrain Mujagata remains an unusual sight.

The Astral, the sort of old-fashioned group spout that is fairly unusual in this part of the country, is the cuff of choice for black cab drivers in need of a cup of tea or a bacon sandwich before heading back into the capital's snarling traffic. Outside, there is plenty of parking for 'Hackney carriages', and inside are tables of men chatting, eating and reading the paper. It or yours is over 40 – and most of them are white.

In this setting, Uganda-born Mujagata – who is just 21 years old – stands out from the crowd. He is London's youngest licenced black cab driver, having got his badge at the 2020, and when he tells people what he does for dining they often steer it into his thicket. Some ask his age. Others want to know when he passed the Knowledge – the famously taxing oral room that requires applicants to memorize every street in London. After he's even more astonished when he explains that he is also studying computer science at Queen Mary University and is begging to work in cyber security.

For decades, our collective vision of the London caliber fitted perfectly with the demographics of the Astral: a middle-aged man with a perfect mental map of the capital who was perhaps a policeman, electrician or fireman in a former life. But after years of decline, and with fewer and fewer applicants willing to pass the gruelling Knowledge, a new and unexpected group is beginning to show interest in the black cab traffic: young people attracted by the university.

“I love the freedom the job gives me,” says Mujagata, who moved to Britain from Uganda in 2022 to join his father, who had been earning a living as a black taxi driver in London for years. “I can work whenever I want. If I want to take a day off, I take a day off. Normally I start around four or five in the afternoon and work until three in the morning, then sleep in and spend the day studying or seeing friends. The job this around my life rather than the other way round.”

The trade is still a long way from being youthful. Most drivers are in their 50s or 60s, and the number of licenced black cabs in London has been about over the past decade, but there are signs of revival. Transport for London says applications to pass the Knowledge rose from 140 in 2022 to 192 by the end of November 2022.

A black cabs on Piccadilly Circus in the 1960s.

Steve McNamara, the head of the Taxi Drivers Association, has noticed a change in demographics in the years since the pandemic. “There are a lot more young people doing it now than ever before,” he says. “When I passed the Knowledge back in the Nineties, it was mostly middle-aged girls, but if you go to a testing centre now there are so many people in their 20s.”

The crown of London's most youthful taxi driver won't even sit on Mujagata's head for much longer: in three weeks' time, an even younger driver who has already passed and is waiting for a creditation will get his badge for the first time.

There are a number of reasons the trade is becoming more youthful. For older generations, driving a London taxi was seen as a solid prospect and an appealing second career for men who began their adult lives with physical jobs they were happy to step back from once middle age fat. For younger drivers, however, it is being sold as a hot against an uncertain future.

“A lot of young people are asking, but worth going to university! What do you do with all taking jobs?” says McNamara. “They look at the knowledge and think I'm used to learning, I can do this by repetition. Once you've got it, you'll have to unanalyzed. You can reach cab for a week or a month. You can take it out on a Saturday instead of doing a minimum-wage job or you can work every day for half a year and go on half-

day for the next six months.”

That freedom, though, comes at a high price. The Knowledge remains one of the most demanding vocational tests in Britain. Candidates spend years memorizing London's streets, trains and landmarks, usually on a moped in all weathers. Mujagata completed it in two years and five months, and says that during that period he barely had a social life.

Having arrived in Britain only a year before he started, Mujagata also had forty and understand London without the basics most of us have had since childhood. “I didn't even know where the success of Parliament or Piccadilly were,” he says.

He recalls losing marks after pronouncing Greenwich incorrectly, and the disbelief of one examiner when he couldn't say where the Crossings was located. “I think he was a bit shocked that I was able to name the location of a tiny library in Enfield but not the Crossings, but because I didn't grow up here I was never aware of how important it was.”

The financial barriers are just as daunting. Mujagata rents his cab for £250 a week, when he looked into buying a taxi they cost around £40,000 for a used model and up to £70,000 for a new one, insurance quotes were promising. “Because I was under 25, my insurance was about £9,000 a year,” he says. “Most companies wouldn't even insure me in a newer cab.”

“Unless you have family support, it's incredibly difficult.”

This is one reason the trade has trad-

tionally attracted men later in life, as they often had savings, a spouse in work or redundancy payments, which helped title them over during the time it takes to study for the Knowledge and with down payments on vehicles.

Simon, 48, who was drinking tea in the Astral on the day I visited, passed the test in 2004 and says he understands why younger people hesitate. “For a long time, they looked at the Knowledge and thought it was ridiculous in a world of nature,” he says.

Yet Simon has also noticed a shift. “In the past few years I have seen more young Knowledge students on their mopeds than ever before, which is encouraging,” he says. “I think with the influx of unqualified Uber drivers from all over the world, young British people want the status and prestige that comes from driving a black cab, and prefer the autonomy to giving half your earnings

A Bahrain Mujagata factory, centre, finished by higher-cultures Malcolm Butler, left, and Joanna Fennant marked his chambers by not knowing where the Crossings was

to an app in San Francisco.”

For him, the trade changed his life. “Half school with no qualifications, so this gave me a career,” he says. “I don't enjoy every day, but the money is good and I've always been able to go to my children's sports days and Christmas plays.”

Almost every driver I speak to says something similar, although the irony is that this renewed interest comes at a time when the job itself has become much more difficult. Drivers complain about cycle lanes, low-traffic neighborhoods, 20mph limits, road restrictions, cameras, electric cab costs and Uber. “Getting around London has become much better,” says a driver named Chris. “Scorneys that took 20 minutes 10 years ago now take mostly an hour.”

Mujagata adds that daytime work can be stressful because of the sheer number of cyclists, particularly on hired e-bikes. “I actually prefer nights because there are fewer cyclists,” he says. “During the day it's become a nightmare. If anything happens, we're usually the ones blasted and a lot of the problems come from Line bikes. People hire them without knowing how we do, mainly in London: they're wearing earphones, ignoring cycle lanes and taking major risks.”

Then there is Uber. McNamara believes the side-hailing company did enormous damage to the trade when it launched in London in 2001, undercutting black cabs with fares for describes as 'completely uncrimmed.' But he argues the balance has shifted again as Uber prices have risen and younger passengers have rediscovered black cabs.

“A whole-generation grew up Ubering,” he says. “Now it is so expensive, a lot of them have realized few or six of you can get in a black cab and it can cost the same money.”

He also rejects the idea that satrays has made the Knowledge obsolete. “There is no substitute,” he says. “If I'm sitting at Piccadilly Circus and you get in and say Phillimore Gardens, unless I know where that is, I'm not going to turn into the right time when the lights change. I can drive always known where to go.”

Mujagata uses satrays occasionally for live traffic, but says the Knowledge is about more than directions. “It's a tradition,” he says. “There's nowhere else in the world where people study a city in this way. You don't just learn the roads – you learn why places are called what they are, the history behind them and how London developed. I feel much more connected to the city now because of it.”

Health

'I was pole-axed by a heart attack at 54'

Damage from a blocked coronary artery left Anita Solanki unable to walk for more than 10 minutes – but a stem cell transplant changed everything

New Year's Eve 2023 began entirely normally. I woke after a decent night's sleep, had breakfast with my husband Raj and began counting down the hours until the black-tie party we had planned that evening. We loved bringing in the new year in style, surrounded by family and friends.

At 9am, I went upstairs to choose a party outfit when I felt a tight, central pain in my chest. 'I haven't had a panic attack in years,' I thought. At 14 and finally in the grip of premenopause, I was used to maintain symptoms, from fatigue to brain fog, coming and going, so dismissed it as indigestion.

An hour later, the pain was still there and Raj was rushing me to hospital, where I would learn I had suffered a heart attack – the youngest patient on the cardiac ward by at least a decade. Worse still, that was only the beginning.

A busy life – and some unexpected symptoms

Raj and I live in a village just north of Leicester. Although our two sons, aged 31 and 33, have left home, we remain a close-knit family. Getting together with them for a weekend-dinner, along with their wives and our six-year-old grandson, Siyam, is the centre of our lives.

My professional life, however, is demanding. I work for a cold engineering company, often travelling across the country to manage projects. While the job comes with its challenges, I love what I do and worked hard to get where I am.

When I first felt the pain in my chest that morning in 2023, a heart attack didn't even cross my mind. I was relatively young, had normal cholesterol levels, on a high background, but and was regularly on my treadmill. Nine months before, I'd been given a clean bill of heart health after my doctor referred me for an echocardiogram (an ultrasound scan to check how efficiently your heart is working) when I complained of fatigue. I had no family history of cardiac issues either, or though I was on blood pressure medication, I thought everything was under control.

This reassurance meant I put up with more than an hour of intense chest pain. I ended a family marriage what was going on. He wanted to call 999 but, convinced my congressmen were manageable. I dailed 10. An own as they heard the words 'have gone' though, they urged me to call for an ambulance.

When we heard the waiting time for paramedics could be up to two hours, against official advice, Raj drove me to Leicester Royal Infirmary. That decision almost certainly saved my life. An soon as we arrived at A&E, staff surprised around me, running tools and confirming a heart attack within minutes.

Before I could process the news, I was being transferred by ambulance to GeraMed Hospital, a specialist cardiac centre on the outskirts of Leicester. There I was taken straight to theatre, where doctors inserted a catheter through my groin to place a stent in my heart to reopen the blocked coronary artery that had caused my heart attack. You're awake throughout, and though I'm fairly sure, it was excruciating, until the inception kicked in.

As I lay on the operating table, I clung to the knowledge that several colleagues had suffered heart attacks and gone on to live full, normal lives afterwards. 'I'm going to be fine. I'll survive this,' I repeated in my head.

Undressurably, my heart rate remained unstable, so a temporary parameter was also inserted via my groin, to regulate my heartbeat while the muscle recovered.

Once everything was in place, I was wheeled down to a ward. Surrounded by patients in their 7th and 90s, I felt like a fraud. It was difficult to process that, in my mid-30s, I was experiencing heart problems usually associated with old age.

A long road to recovery

My family had headed straight to the hospital but, still in denial, I urged them to continue with their New Year's Eve plans. They would bear nothing off, and welcomed in 2024 at my bedside, devising a rota to ensure I

always had someone with me. I was incredibly grateful, but found it difficult to rely on others after a lifetime of being fiercely independent.

Four days after I'd been admitted, I was well enough to go home. I was so excited – I couldn't tell you how much I had missed home comforts like my own shower – even though I needed a host of medication, including beta-blockers which slow the heart by blocking adrenaline, and blood thinners.

Unfortunately my recovery was far from simple. First I developed the supervising MEGA, avoiding fairly antibiotics to clear the infection, which left me fatigued and suffering from insomnia. Then, at a check up in early February, tests revealed that my ejection fraction (the percentage of blood pumped out of the heart with each beat, which is usually between 15 per cent and 70 per cent in a healthy heart) had fallen from an already low 55 per cent to 50 per cent. My heart was falling. The heart attack had damaged the muscle and scarred it permanently, meaning it could no longer pump effectively. It was soothing.

I was resubmitted to hospital and doctors debated whether I needed an implantable defibrillator which could give me electric shocks to manage abnormal heart rhythm. I really didn't want one, so consulted a private cardiologist for a second opinion. She carried out more tests and adjusted the medication instead, prescribing fatteries and Epidermis or suppressing heart's ability to pump blood and reduce my blood pressure.

It seemed to work. From that point my recovery was slow, but steady. By April 2024, I was delighted to begin slowly returning to the office. I felt incredibly weak – often unable to carry my work bag and needing to stop after walking for more than 10 minutes – but I'd begun to accept that life might look different, and it felt good to be working again. Over time, I новый my strength, building up to 20-minute walking sessions on my treadmill. Still, I felt a shadow of my former self.

Discovering there were other options out there

In April 2023, a full year later, the morning news had a segment about a woman who had undergone stem cell treatment to repair the damage caused by a heart attack. It explained that when these are injected into the arms of the heart damaged by a heart attack they can develop into new healthy heart muscle cells, promoting tissue regeneration and improving circulation.

Somebody, I started researching whether it might be suitable for me. Though still in the early clinical trial phase of development, I discovered that stem cell treatments for heart failure are available to selected patients through a 'compensation' clinical programme, which allows people to access experimental therapies outside of trials, once all other pathways have been exhausted.

I was naturally concerned about the costs of accessing a treatment that wasn't available on the NHS, but the woman on the news had had hers funded by a non-profit organisation

Heart Cells Foundation, so I got in touch with them. For the first time in months, I began to imagine a future in which I could regain the strength and energy to feel like my old self. It gave me hope.

I spent a couple of months on a waiting list, before being called to St Bartholomew's Hospital in London in

October last year, where initial testing revealed I was eligible for the therapy. And almost two years after my heart attack, in early December, Raj and I travelled to London for treatment.

For the first five days, I attended hospital appointments where doctors gave me medication to stimulate my bone

marrow to produce extra stem cells. Then, on Dec 8, my stem cells were harvested from the marrow in my hip bone and transferred to chest X-rays and blood laboratory for processing. They were returned to Bart's just a few hours later, where I was hooked to an intravenous drip and the stem cells were delivered in my heart through an artery in my wrist. It was all so fast – within an hour, it was done.

Improvements set in gradually over the coming days and months. My energy returned and I began to feel better than I had for several years. We had a big party in the diary that first weekend after treatment which I hadn't been sure I'd attend. Yet, when the day came, I felt strong enough to dress up and even gave a speech. It was an emotional moment for the whole family.

Then in January, Raj and I went on a trip to the Caribbean. Being able to carry my own suitcase, walk for more than 20 minutes without chest pain.

Before this happened, I felt guilty about spending an hour doing yoga or getting my hair done

and not be constantly on edge about my heart felt like a return to the life I thought I'd lost. The improvement felt so quick and significant.

Just four months later, I had rebuilt enough stamina to walk the full 3.7-mile route around my local park, something that would have been unimaginable before my transplant. There are moments where I still worry – walking up hills in often difficult, particularly in hot weather, for example. In many ways, though, I feel like my old self, at my one year follow up appointment in December, I'll discover if my ejection fraction has improved. It certainly feels like it has.

My doctors never identified exactly why I had my heart attack, although my raised blood pressure likely played a part – I'm still in need of medication to control it. I do wonder whether years of stress contributed. Before all this happened, I felt guilty spending even an hour doing yoga or getting my hair done. Now I understand that looking after my own wellbeing is not a heavy – it's essential.

After my heart attack, there were so many things I thought I might never do again. My stem cell transplant gave me something I desperately needed a future I could look forward to.

The holiday tech essentials

I never leave home without

These five gadgets make every flight, hotel stay and layover more bearable – from noise-cancelling earbuds to multi-tasking chargers, advises Britta O'Boyle

I've been a technology journalist for 10 years – covering everything from phones, tablets and fitness devices, to smart home and beauty tech – and with the job comes an awful lot of travelling.

I am on a plane somewhere most months for industry events (honestly not as glamorous as it sounds) and have selected gadgets I always take in my carry-on luggage. I've found these are equally useful for work as they are on family holidays.

My essentials include everything from headphones to travel chargers to Bluetooth transmitters (clever devices that let you use your own headphones to watch in flight movies).

I will suggest these pieces of tech to anyone who will listen. Except the person next to me on the plane – that's a no-chat zone.

Here are my top five travel essentials I never leave home without...

A BLUETOOTH TRANSMITTER FOR IMPROVING IN-FLIGHT ENTERTAINMENT

Headphones provided by an airline are never going to win awards for sound quality or comfort, which is why I always stick to my own wireless pair for in-flight entertainment. I swear by a Bluetooth transmitter, which plugs into an audio jack and connects to your headphones. I've been using Twelve South's AirFly for years. There are multiple models, all equally effective but with varying capabilities. The cheaper AirFly SE £29.99 is great for solo listening, but its the AirFly Pro 2 that's carried a permanent place in my luggage. It pairs with two sets of wireless headphones for shared listening, has on-device volume controls so you barely have to touch the entertainment screen, and has a battery life of more than 25 hours.

Interview

THE BEST & WORST OF...

'Growing up abroad makes you more British'

Actress, comedian and campaigner Sally Phillips reflects on desert holidays, on-set giggles and popular misconceptions about Down's syndrome

BEST of TIMES

Sally Phillips, 50, was born in Hong Kong before spending her child's hand-lying in countries including Bahrain and Australia because of her father's job with British Airways. After studying at New College, Oxford, the because one of Britain's best-loved comedy performers through found the Peep, before going on to star in Bridge Jones's Diary and its sequels, Metsoda, Roy and numerous television dramas and comedies. Away from acting, she has become a passionate advocate for people with learning disabilities, inspired by her debut son, Olly, who has Down's syndrome. She now stars as eccentric sales owner Lily Peral in The Blackmoor Mysteries, while continuing her campaigning work and writing.

BEST CHILDREN'S MEMORY?

I had an amazing childhood because my dad worked for British Airways, so we lived in lots of different countries. I remember camping in Dubai - it might even have been America's - when there was nothing there. There were three families, three massive fireboats908, we barbecued and surfed down the sand dunes into the sea. Someone got straggly a baby ever plus, I recall, but it was fun!

I probably remember being happiest doing crafting. My mother was a teacher, so we were always incredibly well stocked with paper, toilet rolls, glue and glitter. I remember making a whole teddy bear world out of cereal packer in Bahrain, with all the link in the country coming around about little teddy bear cities.

I had a teddy great childhood, so I'm lucky, but the thing you stalk the moving around is consistent friendships. I had to learn how to have friends properly later.

BEST PERSONAL CHARACTERISTIC?

Growing up abroad as a British person, somehow makes you more British than British - a kind of communication doesn't really exist. So I find it like the genitalia down a blackboard trying to say I'm good at anything. I also worry about toxic positivity, this idea that

everything has to be amazing all the time. If you only ever say: "This is fantastic, my show is amazing. I'm thinking where is the human connection? I find it much easier to hand over honesty."

BEST THING ABOUT MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH?

I love laughing myself. It's selfish. I remember being at school with my friend and being told off by our French teacher, Mrs Reifs, because we'd skipped a lesson to watch Boris Becker, missing Windshokes. The more dovish to off, the more we laughed, and the more we laughed, the more punishment we got. I felt beyond reach, beyond authority. I remember thinking: "This is happiness."

I love that feeling so enough: its television, you're not trying to play an arena. You're trying to make the cravingsh. There's something very easy about that - a small circle of actors, cameras, sound people and someone watching on the monitor. It feels like being such in childhood, putting on a play for the parents. It's honest.

BEST PAST ABOUT YOUR ROLE IN THE HARDRESSER MYSTERIES?

The attraction was that cravingsh, one of our great play wrigles. His words feel amazing in your mouth. That sounds creepy, but they do not. I'm not slightly hard to say, in the way proper play-wrigles' words are. You don't often get that on telly.

Before I took the part, I asked him why he wanted to do your crime. He said: "I just want to make people feel better." It's easy crime on a budget and a crazy schedule, which I found tricky because I'm used to explaining and trying things, and a million sales. But Jim is brilliant and so is! Cattle lootter, who plays my sidekick, the cures off (severe) low-flavor, so she was used to that pace, and she really supported me.

BEST MEMORY FROM SMACK THE POIS?

I remember realising that a slent is I had written in the middle of the night had become real. It was about a girl who had accidentally stacked a whole supermarket

WORST of TIMES

hat with Toilet Duck. I got there and realized it had taken three groom men three days to stack this supermarket with Toilet Duck, and I thought: "Wow, this thing I thought up is nice real!"

The best memories were making each other laugh. I remember opening a door and having to say Pepsi Albert name, but I called her a different name every time. From large collapsing, and perfection was good. "We're losing the light, ladies, please."

There was another where the pre- have said: "You've got five minutes, once up with something." That became one of my favourite devotees a man at a bar being asked what music he likes, and he says: "That one that goes

then sings the whole of "Easy Like Sourite Morning." We were young and thought we were cool and rebellious.

WORST MOMENT ON STAGE?

Doing a school production of The Most Pests, directed by a friend who was a brilliant Canadian actress, None of us had learnt the lines. We got to the first show and one by one we all started laughing, turning to the back wall with our shoulders shaking. It was just dinner and on laughing. It was fun.

BEST THING YOUR CHILDREN HAVE TALK GIFT YOU?

They've just so much fun. My eldest, Olly, who has Down's syndrome, is at an amazing arts college called Orpheus, learning independent skills. It's the first time I've been able to be married and not helicopter partner. They know how to manage his current course better than I do.

All the things I was frightened would never happen are happening. He has a gang of friends who like the same things, and at weekends he has his WhatsApp group chat on constantly while they do their stuff.

WORST BART?

I forget to shut cupboards. It delves my partner mad. I don't finish the action. I go to make a sandwich so a meal. I get the sea out, got the sea in the pot, and then in my head the job is done. I have

to remind myself: "Now close the cupboard, save pot it once!"

I just don't finish make property. I'll begin something with great enthusiasm. How know the final hit for someone else to discover. It's not deliberate, but it is annoying.

WORST MIND COX'ETY'EN PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT DOWN'S SYNDROME?

That it means everything is "lower", I thought that too. But actually people with Down's syndrome have a very spilty profile. In some areas, Olly can be above average, and in others close to zero.

He can be very wise about some things while also being unable to imagine how his behaviour will affect someone else. That doesn't mean he doesn't have empathy; he has enormous empathy and strange wisdom about how people are feeling.

A doctor once told me when Olly was little, "He'll never write an essay." I remember thinking: "Why would I care? Why does that matter?" He writes all the time now. People can be very ignorant about intelligence. There are so many different kinds.

WORST YEAR FOR THE FUTURE?

I'm pretty scared of getting dementia. But of course, I'm most scared of anything happening to my children. That first is never immediate when you have a vulnerable child. The other day I come home and Olly was giving someone our postcode on TikTok. But's 25, so do I stop him having social media accounts? Do I have the right no? I don't think I do.

Keeping him safe is a constant worry. He is vulnerable and he isn't frightened of people, which is good in one way because it means he hasn't had reason to be frightened, but it also makes him vulnerable. They have rights, and you can advise your childrens, but you can't control everything.

We built an outdoor kitchen that actually works – for less than £1,000

Interior designer Sophie Gould and her husband self-built their cottage, then set out to transform its 'blank canvas' garden. By Lindsay Blair

---

A combination of wood and fire requires caution, of course, as perpetual fiber control board from Wicker lines the barbecue framing. It is fire retardant, invein in it fire rating, meaning it's non-combustible, and is water resistant. They sealed the joins of the cement board with an intermountain sealant for further prevention.

Woodprepeding was another essential given the unpredictable British climate. The couple bought timber from MEM building supplies and treated it themselves. "Whether it means it'll stand the test of time as long as something we'll have spent double or triple the amount on, we'll see," she says. "We live in a country where, unless you are not going to get anything outside, there's always an element of upkeep due to the weather."

Style-wise, the couple wanted a subdued, nature-inspired pattern of furrow. A ball supplied for the timber structure, chosen not only for the line but its protective properties against algae and moisture, and twins stained cladding for the cupboard doors and shelving, a nod to the cottage's facade.

The boot buy is the microcement working, can be the couple themselves, which costs £25. "I noticed Fonthier de kits for bathrooms so I asked them if they thought it would hold up to moisture outside and they told me they'd had several clients see it that way," Sophie says. "We put timber shortening around the edge of the kitchen framework and traveled it on. I didn't want it to be completely smooth; the texture adds character."

With a self build and garden transfer station under the couple's belts, Sophie says the outdoor kitchen is what she is most proud of, particularly given it was achieved for less than £1,000. The most expensive part was the timber which took up just over half of the budget, followed by the working and Corston architectural handles. They used hand ware they had left over from the house build and kept the design simple to control costs.

On tackling a DIY project, Sophie says: "Have a go, but keep an open mind. Our approach was straightforward and that helped us hit our budget. If we'd have done microcement everywhere or added lavish tiles, it would have been complex. It's about not overdoing it."

"We use the outdoor kitchen year round," she says. "We've done birthdays, Halloween parties, bowlers night and even used it at Christmas." It's provided a valuable extension to life indoors, where the next project is never far from mind. "The family bathroom and our master bedroom are next on the list," Sophie says. "But I'd love to acquire more land for a bigger garden, have chickens and a vegetable patch too."

Gardening

Essential jobs to do in the garden this August

Tom Brown braves the heat, surveys his embattled plants and singles out some of the tasks that need to be carried out in late summer

As a gardener who spends the majority of his working days trying to assess what plants do, and how to get the heat from them, I've found this summer to be a pretty sunlike experience. I've seen trees, shrubs, annuals and vegetables struggling to cope with the lack of moisture and the intense heat.

Like me, many other gardeners have come to the realization that perhaps this growing season isn't going to be quite as successful as we thought it would have been. Having said that, the horticultural show must go on. Circumstances will improve, and when they do, how are a few things that you can do in the garden to keep things ticking along as we prepare for less strenuous conditions in the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, make the most of "grey" water from the washing up or other household uses to give your parched plants a drink.

Dry flowers

The many is not lost on me when I start advising gardeners to start drying flowers given the interest and I enjoy state of most of our plants; but the process of cutting flowers is full with and preserving them so give you a display indeed for the rest of the summer and then throughout the winter too has a huge amount of merit, not well worth a try.

The usual contractors that dry incredibly well are Limestone (eutect and Bifidoryrum (strawflowers) as they reliably hold their colour through the drying process. There are many other options that are worth a go including defoliations, sunflowers and dahlias, and the principle is the same. Cut the stems when they're dry and arrange in a bunn, ideally with all the same length of stem. Remove all the leaves and then bind the bunch with an elastic band. Ensure that the elastic band is tight because as the stems dry, they will shrink and the tight elastic band will then constant with the stems as they decrease in bulk. Tie the bunch with a piece of string with a loop on the end and then hang the bunch in a well ventilated, cool and dark place.

These flowers can stay in situ, suspended until the air turns danger in the mornings and evenings which is when they need to be brought inside to avoid them going mouldy. Don't be restricted purely to flowers, also consider seed pods such as Pigment uses, siftless topism poppest and nigella Sore in the mist which offer great structure and texture to an arrangement, but do experiment as the possibilities are vast.

Cut stems when they're dry and arrange in a bunch, ideally with the same length of stem

Lightly prune trained apples

When we prune in the summer, we are mainly concerned about maintaining the subtle shape of the tree, rather than anything radically structured. If you have a cordon apple tree that is grown against a wall, the objective of the prun-

ing is to maintain its shape and avoid it growing too far away from the wall. By reducing some of the growth during the summer, we achieve several objectives including helping to ripen the fruit and encouraging fruiting wood to develop for next year.

The terminal bud or the tip of the

shoots will often be the brown flower which signals that the growth has slowed down or stopped, meaning that when we prune the trees, we don't get a great flush of regrowth as a response.

It is possible to summer prune free standing apple trees at this time of year, especially if you're looking to rejuvenating an old tree. You'll notice when you prune an apple or pear tree during the winter that you tend to get a lot of young water shoots as a response. You don't get that with the summer prune, meaning you can subtly adjust the shape of the tree, which is most helpful when we redefine an older, out-of-shape specimen.

So, when it comes to pruning your cordon, equator or sequeve apple tree, look at the base of this year's growth and you'll see an area known as the basal cluster, where there are a few buds that are packed closely together, as there long shoots grow, the space between the leaves increases. We're looking to reduce these long whippe growths back to one bud above the basal cluster. By removing all these long shoots, you will re-vendish the shape of your trained tree. Any shoots that are less than 10cm long should be left where they may contain fruiting spots for next year. If any regrowth occurs during the rest of the summer, it can be trimmed back to one bud from where the regrowth developed in September.

Harvest chillies

Chillies and peppers adore a warm summer and have enrolled in the high temperature, particularly in our greenhouse and conservatories. Within all the collections that are grown at West Dean in the greenhouses, the chillies are the most sensitive and safer, after when they are lacking nutrition through the visual signal of their leaves turning a more than green colour as opposed to a dark green. Keep feeding your chillies on a woolly basis with a liquid seaweed fertiliser or, if you find that that isn't sufficient and leads to pale foliage and a lack of vigour, then switch to a liquid feed with higher nitrogen content. Most peat-free composts require more regular feeding with nitrogen-based fertilizers to sustain plants as opposed to the traditional pot-ade-based fertilizers that we have used in the past at this time of year.

Assuming that we now all have healthy and buoyant chilli plants, to keep them fruiting throughout the rest of the summer we need to harvest the ripe ones regularly. By picking ripe chillies we will encourage fresh flowers and subsequent fruit to last year your yield. If fruits are allowed to develop and the seeds within them owed a security year plant will consider that its job is done, and it has produced enough seeds so will see no need to produce new fruits.

Give houseplants some time outside to reduce pests

Aphid, mephrop, and scale insects are all top-seeking pests which can be problematic when growing house plants, leading to sooty mould and a lack of vigour. Given the constant and

Cut your hedge back to the origins of this year's growth to maintain its volume and scale

cosy environment in our homes, the number of these pests can explode given recent warm temperatures. As populations of these pests rise, many usual remedies fail to keep pace with generation after generation being born. Placing house plants outside in a sheltered spot away from direct sunlight and strong winds will increase air circulation around the plant and expose these pests to a much greater number of predators therefore reducing the infestation. Houseplants can stay outside until agitation temperatures start to drop below 10C.

Cut well-established hedges

Now that nesting season has all had finished that do check for active nests before any hedge worth; it is time to trim hedges as give the garden that

1 Hedge trimming is nobody's favourite path, but this is a good time to do it

near, tidy and blood feel. Hedge cutting may be one of the best upgrading jobs in the heat, but having a go in bite-sized chunks at the start of the day or in the early evening will make the task bearable. By waiting until August, having lived with a shaggle hedge for a little longer, the amount of regrowth will be reduced compared to an earlier run. The idea is to define a shape, leaving enough time for the pruning cuts to heal and for the hedge to put on a little growth before the winter. The dry conditions and later prune will reduce the chances of regrowth, but it may be necessary to redefine the hedge towards the end of October, depending upon the type of hedge.

Mixed native hedges are notoriously sporadic in their growth rate due to a wide range of species. Hedges and topiary come into their own during the winter, so to have definition of those topiarixed or boundary shapes increase the impact within a garden.

Cut your hedge back to the origins of this year's growth to maintain the volume and scale of your hedge. There seen too many hedges where gardeners nervously don't cut back hard enough, resulting in a hedge that grows in height and width each year and needing a cutout prune evoking the hedge back into some sort of scale and order.

Deciduous hedges such as horn-beam and beech reliably respond to being pruned a little harder, but be less cavalier with comfor hedges as they don't feature back as well, ensuring that you trim back as tight as possible to green growth without exposing too many leaves just few.

Young hedges will be struggling this year due to the heat and dry weather. Pruning these plants too severely will lead to increased stress levels and could tip the young plants over the edge, keep any shaping to a minimum during this tricky time, waiting for more favourable conditions in the spring when regrowth will be more important and plentiful.

A quartet of pelargonians

'Lord Bute'

A historic culture, one of the 'eight' pelargonians

A 'spectre' pelargonium, is it isn't a hybrid

P. P. P. P.

Mated culture, releases secret in the evening

P. P. P. P. P.

Difficulties, deep and flowers

A pow-wow with the pelargonium people

The British floral staple is in safe hands with this Midlands couple, whose nursery has been awarded a Royal Warrant. Thomas Rutter reports

How plants are more familiar in British gardens than pelargonians. For many of us, they conjure the same image: bright red or pink flowers tumbling from a window box, dependable colour in municipal bedding displays, the plant an elderly relative faithfully overwinnored on a sunny windowsill.

Cheerful, resilient and long flowering, they have become so familiar that they have acquired an unfortunate reputation along the way: a little old-fashioned, a little suburban, a mile of Victorian bedding schemes.

'Most people think of the pelargonians their grandma grow up with bright social varieties with beautiful flowers,' says Laura Beers of Fibers Nurseries near Freebore, Worcs. 'They'll always be popular, of course, but there's so much more to our pelargonians than that.'

Laura and her husband Ed care for around 1,000 different pelargonium varieties. There are scented pelargonium carrying notes of rose and lemon, arid species from southern Africa, dry-leaved forms, collectors' plants that sell out within monsoon and historic cultivars whose stories stretch back centuries. 'You remember the name(s) originally quickly,' Laura says. 'But we're still learning every day, especially the unusual, historic-kinetic varieties.'

The couple arrived here almost by accident. In 2013, Fibers nursery's long-standing owners announced that they were preparing to retire. The nursery was just five minutes from their

home. 'It was word of mouth. A friend told us about it. When we first walked around the nursery, it just felt right,' Laura recalls. 'It was family-structured, authentic, about growing. Quite simple, when you think of it like that.'

They had grounds-void hardly have been more different. Ed had grown up to commercial horticulture, running his family's plug-plant business, so this was two of a jump. Laura, however, had spent her career leading business team-temanian projects in financial services. Yet the pair found themselves here, somehow taking on an established pelargonium nursery.

'It almost felt like a start-up, not an historic nursery,' Laura continues. 'Everything was new to us. We'd taken on this incredible reputation and these incredibly high standards, but we were learning as we went along.'

'The first year was all about understanding the nursery,' Ed says. 'Maintaining that quality and poking ourselves who are we as Fibers.'

The answer, as with any specialist nursery, is complicated. Fibers is, first and foremost, a business. It has to sell plants, fulfill orders and generate enough income to keep an acre of glasshouses and a small team running. Yet it is also something for less tangible part living collection and part

Everything was new to us'

A cutting with care: Laura and Ed look after around 1,000 varieties of pelargonium

archive of horticultural knowledge. Like a botanic garden or museum, Fibers adequate something that cannot easily be replaced. Its greatest asset is not the plant themselves, but the knowledge needed to grow more than a thousand different cultivars, and much of that knowledge existed nowhere else except in the minds of the former owners.

'Staples and Croats had been running the business for decades, and they were incredibly generous with their knowledge,' Ed says. 'So much of it was just in their hands.'

The sisters, whose parents had smoked Fibers in the 1800s, remained at the nursery for a couple of days each week during a long luncheon, passing on the countless details that had never been written down: which varieties ever reluctantly, which cannot ever rettering the most, and which simply refuse to believe an expected.

Infertiling the nursery also meant infertiling its peculiar rhythms. Indeed, the romance of running a specialist nursery, it turns out, is rather different from the reality. On a warm spring day, the glasshouses glow with flowers, it looks rather wonderful, but perhaps less so to someone who has been working in hour days.

'When we first started talking about taking over,' Laura laughs. 'You sold it to me as a seasonal business with holidays in winter. I've yet to experience that.'

'That's going to come,' Ed replies with a grin. 'We're just as busy building the business. We're out there yet, but it will come.'

'This week we're had glorious sunshine, but then under evenings,' Laura says. 'At two or three o'clock in the morning, Ed was getting up on close the warm in the glasshouses because the temperature had dropped.'

'That's part of the lifestyle,' Ed replies. 'You do what needs doing. It's not a nice-to-five job. Plants don't stop growing at weekends. These are always things that need doing.'

On any given day, the pair might be taking: settings, answering customers' emails, packing orders, checking the health of mother plants or repairing glasshouses. As a happy and Croats would have surely told the young couple, in a family nursery like this, there are no next job descriptions, only what ever needs doing next.

Alongside the samples, single-flow-sound varieties, Fibers also grows historic cultivars such as 'Lord Bute', one of the eight pelargonians. The retail group is the result of generations of careful hybridization from a handful of African species, producing plants best for their ruffled blooms and rich colouring.

Fibers's catalogue, reveals a grin of complexion diversity. Most of us, however, have only ever encountered a small number of the remarkably diverse genus comprising more than 200 wild species and an estimated 22,000-named cultivars.

One species, though, encapsulates the nursery's philosophy from Pelargonium Fritchi takes its name from the Latin for 'sad' perhaps a reference to its mixed colouring rather than its character. Refereed to have been among the first pelargonians introduced to Europe in the early 15th century, it is anything but methodically. By day its pair-yellow flowers can stop filigree like foliage seem almost unremarkable: only towards evening do they reveal these selves, filling the air with a rich fragrance of cloves and spice.

'We've been quietly building up our stock of Pritchi,' Ed says. 'It's the only variety we grow from seed because you can't propagate it from cuttings. Hopefully we'll be able to release it next year.'

There is something rather fitting about that. In an age that values speed and near-day delivery, some plants simply refuse to be hurried. Other commercial growers might decide they simply are not worth the trouble. A

specialist nursery, such as Fibers, sees things rather differently.

That patience extends beyond P. P. P. P. by the end of the year, more than half a million cuttings will have passed through the nursery, every one propagated and posted without automation.

Comments regularly send leaves and faded petals through the past, hoping Laura and Ed might identify a pelargonium that once belonged to a grandparent or grow for decades in a family grandmaan. 'Of course we help,' Laura says. 'It's just part of what we do.'

Fibers once held the National Collection, but it had already passed to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) by the time Laura and Ed took over the nursery. 'People often ask whether we'd like the National Collection back,' Ed says. 'We'd love to use day, but right now it doesn't make business sense. It's a labour of love, of course, but we also just want to make the business work.'

A brief power Laura and Ed Beers of Fibers Nurseries

Earlier this year, Fibers was awarded a Royal Warrant. Becoming this, and supplying the Royal household was anything, but what stayed with Laura was meeting the other warrant holders.

'There was a woman swearing historic wallpaper one of only a handful of people in the country who can do it,' she says. 'It was full of businesses with extraordinary knowledge, all completely devoted to what they do. It was lovely for us to feel part of that community.'

Ed hopes that kind of craftsmanship is beginning to find its audience again.

'I think people are moving away from the Amatron effect. They're wanting to buy locally again'

'I think people are beginning to turn away from the Amatron effect,' he says. 'They're wanting to buy locally again. They're wanting to buy from small, specialist businesses.'

Running a nursery of this kind leaves RHS room for switching off. Yet there are moments that remind Ed why he does it.

'One of my favourite parts of the day is getting here before anybody else,' he says. 'I'll make a coffee and juice walk around the nursery slowly, looking at this and that.'

'We're so lucky,' Laura adds. 'People come here and say, 'I can't believe this is your place of work.' It's not a nice-to-five job, but this is where we get to work. That's a real privilege.'

VW's upgraded crossover doesn't T-Roc the boat – a bit better but a bit less fun

The German firm's commitment to combustion is commendable and its second-biggest seller remains a good choice, reckons Andrew English

Fitting between the smaller T Cross and the larger Tiguan, VW's T-Roc has been a popular crossover in the UK and else-

where. Why wouldn't it be? Essentially it's a raised Golf, the finishing man and woman's hatchback of choice and at one time, Europe's best-selling car.

Tilt the world moved on and buyers have cleaved to the higher driving position, easier access and Jr no one spot of this mild 60 V class, almost as if their leisure was that bit more adventurous than those of a more "Golf owner."

Since its launch in 2017 the T-Roc has sold more than two million and is now VW's second best seller behind the Tiguan. It is the scene of combustion-engined family transport and you can see why it's so popular: it's smart, compact, spacious, seems well built and uses most of the VW Group engines and detoctrates.

Drawbacks of the first generation were the terrible Cariad software systems, the confusing and ill-thought-out touchscreen and perhaps a little cheapening of the interior trim such that the trade considered the T-Roc as a Golf an otiln, but with an interior from the cheaper Poks.

What's new?

It's larger than the outgoing T-Roc, partly because it's now based on the larger MQS Evo chassis, which also underpins the Tiguan and Skoda feeling, at 4.25mm long, the new T-Roc is 122mm longer than previously and at 1.820mm wide without mirrors (2.84mm with them out) the body is mean wider. The width

between the front wheels has been increased by 30mm to provide a better stance and turn-in to corners. It's 1.375mm high, weighs 1.474kg and will use up to 1.5 comes.

Part of the reason for the larger base is to ensure a five-star SC-20 safety rating, which it achieved last December, suspension is all independent with front MacPherson struts and a multi-link rear, with adaptive damping as an option.

I think it looks quite jolly if not that distinctive, save for its highly visible annular bodywork. And the enormous waffle-iron black grille hiding all the sensors looks rather chance, especially when it's contrasted with the yellow paint.

After a gentle step up the interior feels airy and spacious, even without the aid of a large sunroof. It is a thoughtful upgrade of the first generation, better materials of dense feeling plastics and limited upholstery fabrics, with a larger but easier-to-use touchscreen (with, finally, a manual radio volume control). The generous 470-litre boot extends 1,350 litres with the rear seat backs folded, although the load feed isn't flat. And there's plenty of leg and head room across the rear bench for three adults.

The heated front sports seats in this R-line model are comfortable and supportive. In general the specifications seems pretty good, with three-zone air-conditioning, electrically folding and heated door mirrors, adaptive cruise control and an entire suite of Advanced Driver assistance Systems (ADAS), the most intrusive of which can - thank goodness- be seen best of without requiring access to a tech-savvy teenager.

A 4.7 Rev star: the troubled system offers decent economy, performance and looks, and driven well

Under the bonnet

Initially there's a brace of mild hybrids using VW's ubiquitous four-cylinders 2-litre petrol engine. The most powerful version (tested here) has 1440hp and 1940h ft, giving a lively top speed of 320mph and 0-920mph acceleration in 1.5mm. The mild hybrid system amounts to not much more than a beefed-up alternative pack to aid the engine, while drive goes through the latest version of VW's dry clutch DSG twin clutch gearbox tasks (heat wheels). The Combined WLTP fuel consumption is 50.2mpg; I achieved just over 40mpg on a mixed route of country roads and endless Milton Keynes round-drawn.

A 2.0-litre version arrives later this year. In mild hybrid form it delivers 1050hp, with the T-Roc 8 developing 1200hp. There will also be a couple of full hybrids, but no plug-in hybrid models.

On the road

There's an air of practicality and space and, as you pull away, a feeling of exhaust that suggests there's more depth than the competition (Renault Symbios, Ria Sportage, Nissan Qashqai, Toyota C-118 et al).

Ordovibbles's appalling roads provide a stiff test of any bump absorption, which the T-Roc largely passes. The suspension is quiet and competent and provides a comfortable ride as long as you don't push too hard, whereupon it transforms from "quietly competent" into "abnormally bonnet".

The steering responds smoothly to inputs, its pleasant fluidity what we've come to expect of VW's small cars, while body roll in corners is well

checked. This is the sort of benchmark car that condiments have in mind when criticising how poorly some Chinese newcomers address British roads.

The mild hybrid system helps to fill in the gaps in power-felivery caused by turbocharger lag of the heavily boosted petrol engine. On the whole the T-Roc feels xigap and brisk, especially with the DSG transmission, which changes gears quickly without fans.

What it isn't, of course, is sporting. That comes with the later models, but for most owners there's enough enough to make journey seem efficiently and briskly covered as the miles roll under the yellow bonnet. I liked the brakes, too, which combine efficient stopping with a good pedal foot, are always the case with VW's. I also liked the ability to turn off the intelligent cruise control, which will overtake on a motorway if you activate the indicator. But I really, really disliked the driver monitoring controls, which is now a mandated-ranging presence in all new cars.

The Telegraph verdict

Notwithstanding the current high price of fuel, VW's commitment to combustion-engined family cars is a sign of how heavily ascertained fleet EV sales have taken a different direction from more cautious private customers. If you only have one car and do frequent long journeys, battery electric can be expensive and problematic.

As economic and good-to-drive combustion-engined carry-allo go, the new T-Roc is still a good choice but it's expensive and, as as often in a transition from any first to second generation, it's gained in size and competence but lost that hit of fun.

THE RIVALS

Renault Symbios

from £25,000

One of the French firm's seemingly endless catalogue of family crossovers, this Che-en atlits Trigger Captur features Renault's 6-zone limit hybrid system from £20,000 or cheaper mild hybrid. Better to drive than it has a right to be, but it's noisy and the ride isn't great.

Toyota C-118

from £25,000

Toyota didn't have much confidence in the heavily styled first-generation C-118 to spark desire in buyers' hearts, but it appealed to players and his hybrid, going to hybrid or all-electric five-door hatchback is still puffing to customers with a combination of Toyota reliability and style.

Trustworthy treat or mobile money pit?

Ruinous bills are not inevitable with an old fancy car. Yet although all of these are desirable, there's only one we would recommend, says Mark Gallivan

Everybody at some point has seen a luxury car on sale for a big luxury before this case. With one scroll on our phones, we lose the rest of ourselves. In that a first generation Brodley Continental GT for only £20,000? Maybe the high performance Audi S8 that Liam Norman drove in the film Talbot.

All those years of dangling away and here's your chance to finally reward yourself with a truly prestige car, not just a pack badge, but a pack immersive experience. But before you take the plunge, there's a reason why people buy Toyota by the million - they rarely leave you stranded. These four luxury old timers are, on the face of it at least, highly desirable - but with your best presence at heart we have outlined a few of the pitfalls awaiting the unwary. Some of these cars are advertised at prices that appear too good to be true, and two of these certainly are.

THE GEM MERCEDES S500 WHO (1991-1998) £5,000-£20,000

It's a truism that old Mecca attract the greatest respect from the people who will them - the seasoned car dealers. The W140 third-generation S-Class is V8-engined S500 form cemented the reputation of Stuttgart's blood as the best-engineered cars in the world. Both like a tank, even today the W140 drives with an imperceptible force. As a daily driver, provided it's limited by an expert, the W140 can be a fancy way of getting about the little outlay. To ensure you're not buying a duffer, focus on four primary areas: rust, wiring, suspension and any vacuum assisted doors or seats. All are weak areas and can open a chain of costs to put right. To bypass all of these concerns, pay a premium for a W140 and talk to specialists such as MSI. Performance or Merchant who know the few weak points and may be able to source a good one for you. The W140 has yet to be subjected to the hysteria surrounding its W126 predecessor that forces higher prices, making new a great time to buy the more recent model.

THE BORDERLINE AUDI S8 (2006-2010) £8,000-£18,000

The U3 third-generation Audi S8 is the best of the breed, with the best naturally aspirated engine - a 2.5-litre V30 also used in the Lamborghini Galbraith, with a fabulous soundtrack. It looks elegant and is incredibly well constructed. For big Audi school papers, the lack of a native burger seals the deal. Before you dream of owning a four-door Audi London, however, consider that it is likely to have well over £80,000 miles under its belt, in the process being some of the original 450 horses. Such higher delugees repose weak points. The V30 has a quiet timing chain layout, repair

can stretch to more than £5,000. If it hasn't been correctly fixed, loose maneuvers can jump the chain and kill the engine. Sapping air suspension corners suggests a compression, strict or wide blockage issue. The bags containing the air perish over the decades, so you'll need to budget about £2,000 to rectify all four corners. Any Audi S8 is complex so proceed only after a trained car has inspected the car for you. If you find an S8 with documented repairs, leaving had a loving reward, then it's still worth considering.

THE TRAP BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT W12 (2003-2011) £20,000-£30,000

Before 2003, a Bentley was the old money haven. This car's predecessor, the Arango, was a tweeting four-door monument to an unillustrated life. Enter the Continental GT Coupe - a wholly new Bentley - that found immediate appeal with more youthful buyers. Sporting a bathing 6.0-litre, twin-turbo-hurped W12 engine, it would hunch to 60mph. Back in 2003, the road train averaged 13mph in urban driving. But there are countless potential spoilers bathing under the shiny metal. To start, a local gasket failure in your £20,000 Continental GT will

set you back £10,000, because the engine needs to be removed. A new Bentle body is £5,000. A new air stout for the suspension could exceed up to £4,000 per corner at a main dealer. The annual service bill could reach £1,000 even without serious faults. Combined, those costs can amount to much more than what you paid for the car. In addition, the originally quoted 20mph may have dropped further due to dirty injectors or tired turbochargers. Still want to look like David Beckham circa 2002? Buy a new football instead.

THE TRAP MASERATI QUATTROPORTE (2013-2021) £15,000-£35,000

In the head-over heart stakes, Maserati is an unsuspecting buyer's fully. Dreams of waiting along the Amali coast in a quartic luxury should contain a warning about potential mechanical in factory. The fifth-generation Maserati Quattroporte with a 4.2-litre V8 producing 1000hp is tempting at £10,000. All Quattroportes of this era sounded glorious and it remains the peritest model. But only over consider the 25-oz speed automatic gearbox; the DuroSelect automated single-chinch manual is petty and unpleasant in traffic.

The problem areas are numerous. Looking slowing racks, cam-variator failure - that's £3,000 to fix. Common faults include leaking oil gaskets on the V8 - £600 each. DuroSelect chinch hydraulic whereon failures are also common, while if the car is unused for long periods the electronic handbrake of ZF-equipped models can stick on. You may experience malfunctioning control modules, intermittent electrical failures, sticky dashboard buttons and failing guiding sensors. A routine service is only £400, but the potential for ruinous bills is high if any of the above failures are suspected.

COASTAL LIVING AWAYS

Changing where to live is about new time picking a house. It's about finding comfort, security and a welcoming community.

CHRONIC PAINT ASK THE EXPERT

Dr Basil Douari, pain medicine consultant at Cardiff Pain and Wellness Clinic, on how to help manage your chronic pain.

Question: What options can you suggest for someone with painful osteoarthritis in the Pain and Injury, who's been told they're not suitable for pain? reassurance surgery because of other medical conditions? And also to someone who is waiting for surgery but cannot participate in physical activities to lose weight because of pain?

Dr Douari: Joint replacement surgery can provide excellent long-term pain relief for many patients. However, when surgery isn't possible, nerve block injections are used to temporarily interrupt the pain signals travelling from the affected joint. If these injections provide significant pain relief, radiotherapy can prevent pain may be recommended. This nationally recommended treatment and an approved radiotherapy strategy is interrupt pain signals from the nerves, which can provide months of improved pain control with an aim of allowing patients to remain more active.

Q: If back pain is from heart and reperfusion points, and physiotherapy hasn't helped, is there anything else available? Dr Douari: When low back pain arises from the heart joints and treatments such as physiotherapy haven't been effective, medial branch nerve blocks can help confirm the source of the pain. Patients who experience good relief from these injections may be suitable for radiotherapy/denervation, which can provide reappropriating pain relief. This treatment is recommended by NICE for appropriately selected patients and has helped many people improve their function and reduce

their rotions on pain medication. The same thing can be considered for parotonic joint pain.

Q: If you have fibromyalgia and experience widespread pain every day, what's the best way to manage symptoms?

Dr Douari: Fibromyalgia is best managed using a combination of approaches rather than relying on medication alone. Regular gentle exercise, particularly swimming or other low-impact activities, can improve symptoms over time. Relaxation techniques like mindfulness, yoga and good sleep habits are also important.

Some patients may benefit from medications that help with pain, mood or anxiety, depending on their individual symptoms. Treatment should always be tailored to each person's needs.

Q: What would you recommend for those that suffer from nerve pain? What treatments are available? Dr Douari: Nerve pain often responds to specialized medications that work by calming retinal nerves. Depending on the type and location of the pain, treatment may involve tablets, topical creams or patches, targeted nerve injection or a combination of these approaches. Careful assessment helps determine the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual.

CLEAR VISION FOR THE YEARS AHEAD

Ayrshire Eye Clinic is Scotland's first private eye clinic and has provided a wide range of eye treatments for over 10 years

Retirement is often seen as the reward for decades of hard work — a time to travel, spend more time with family, pursue hobbies and embrace new experiences. Yet enjoying these opportunities depends on one vital sense that's two often taken for granted: ear vision.

Whether it's reading to grandchildren, enjoying a round of golf, driving safely or simply maintaining independence at home, healthy eyesight plays a central role in living life in the future. As we opt, however, our eyes become more susceptible to conditions that can affect both vision and quality of life.

For people across Scotland and beyond, Ayrshire Eye Clinic has established trust as a leading destination for consultant-led eye care, providing comprehensive diagnosis, treatment and surgery under one roof. As Scotland's first independent private eye clinic, regulated by healthcare improvement Scotland, it offers patients access to specialist expertise without the need to travel further afield.

More than an eye test

Many people still associate eye care with simply updating their glasses prescription. While regular vision checks ensure important, modern ophthalmology has evolved considerably.

Today, it's possible to detect conditions long before noticeable symptoms develop. Changes within the retina, optic nerve and lens can often reveal early signs of disease, allowing treatment to begin before permanent damage occurs.

At Ayrshire Eye Clinic, every patient benefits from consultant-led eye care, with continuity from the initial consultation through treatment and post-operative aftercare. This integrated approach is particularly reassuring for patients, many of whom value taking the same specialist throughout their journey.

Cataract surgery that restores quality of life

Perhaps the most common eye condition associated with ageing is cataracts. As the eye's natural lens gradually becomes cloudy, everyday activities such as reading, driving and recognizing faces become increasingly difficult.

While many people simply accept deteriorating vision as part of getting older, cataract surgery is one of the oldest and most successful procedures performed in modern medicine.

Ayrshire Eye Clinic provides consultant-led cataract surgery using advanced techniques designed to replace the cloudy natural lens with a clear artificial lens. There's also a choice of lens types available, recommended based on your lifestyle needs. For many patients, the improvement is immediate and life-changing,

receiving sharper vision, brighter colours and renewed confidence in everyday life.
