Hopeful lottery winners will have another chance to win the record sum in tonight’s draw.

The winner could consider themselves richer than singer Adele, who has a net worth of £130million, By Emily Braeger according to The Sunday Times Rich List. Not only would they become Britain’s biggest ever winner, they could use their new found fortune to create lots of other millionaires. New research suggests that more than a quarter (27 per cent) of winners have given away 30 per cent or more of their prize. Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said: “EuroMillions has hit its cap, which means any money that would have gone into the jackpot will now boost prizes in the next winning prize tier. “If one UK winner banks the lot, they would instantly become the UK’s biggest ever National Lottery winner. Players are urged to get their tickets early to be in with a chance of winning this extraordinary prize.” There have been five UK EuroMillions jackpot winners so far this year, including the anonymous winners of £122million in April and £111million in June.

4 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 DX1ST wonder DRUG that Statins... new weapon from PAGE one millions, say scientists. Over-45s already on the cholesterol busters before the pandemic were less likely to lose their lives to the virus than those not taking them, a major study found. Researchers said people using statins could be reassured they did not increase health risks – and may actually have a protective effect. Around eight million people in the UK take the daily medication which became known as a miracle worker for its dramatic impact in cutting heart attacks and strokes, with few side effects. Statins work by reducing “bad” LDL-cholesterol in users’ blood. During the pandemic, there has been wide debate among scientists and doctors on whether the drugs LIFESAVER PILLS cut cholesterol Around eight million people in the UK are thought to take statins. They target the liver cells where cholesterol is made and reduce the amount produced. That lowers the level of “bad” LDL cholesterol, which can lead to fatty deposits and the narrowing of arteries. Statins are usually given to patients who have a history of cardiovascular disease or are considered at high risk. More than two in five people in England have high cholesterol, which puts them at a higher risk of heart disease and strokes. influence the risk of dying from coronavirus. The research in Sweden is the largest population study of its kind so far, looking at statins and Covid. It gathered data from more than 963,000 over-45s in the capital Stockholm, checking prescription records and Covid deaths between March and November last year. Rita Bergqvist, a medical student at Karolinska Institutet university and co-lead author of the study, said: “We compared individuals who were on statin treatment during the year before the pandemic outbreak in Stockholm with people who weren’t. “We adjusted for a large range of other factors and then looked at the mortality rate. Individuals who were on statins were slightly less likely to die from Covid-19 than those who weren’t.” Just under one in five people in the study were taking statins. They were found to be around 12 per cent less likely to die from the virus, after accounting for factors such as existing health conditions. The trend was consistent across different age groups and sexes. Ms Bergqvist stressed that the study was observation and could Record 5.7m in treatment wait By Hanna Geissler Health Editor NHS waiting lists in England hit a record high in August as more than 5.7 million waited to begin hospital treatment. The figure was up by around 100,000 on July, but the number waiting over a year fell slightly to 292,000. A record 5,025 people endured so-called “trolley waits” of more than 12 hours from a decision to admit to being taken into hospital. NHS England said it had 23,000 Covid admissions, 14 times more than last August. Meanwhile desperate daughter Elaine Harrad told how she called a GP surgery 286 times to book her mother Barbara Shonk, 84, an urgent eye appointment. Demand But when she was finally contacted by Heron Medical Practice in Herne Bay, Kent, there were no slots left and Mrs Shonk was instead offered a phone consultation. Elaine took her mother to the local hospital, where she was seen immediately. She said: “I’m lucky I have a smart telephone and I just press redial. But a lot of elderly people don’t have that. If there’s no one to fight their corner, they will just go under the radar.” The practice said it had “a not prove that statins caused the drop in risk. However she said poor heart health was a known risk factor for severe coronavirus. She added: “We also know that statins are an important tool in preventing cardiovascular events. “One hypothesis that has been discussed is simply that preventing cardiovascular ill health might be GP ordeal...Elaine Harrad and Caption parents Barbara Is in 8.5pt and helvetica Norman bold except when it’s on a picture when its helevetica LT std black and bigger if poss beneficial if you were to be infected with Covid-19.” However, the study does not suggest that people who were not previously taking statins should be given them if they become sick with the virus. Ms Bergqvist said: “Prevention and treatment of active disease are two different things. That would require clinical studies of statin cope with the increased demand. Travellers must take a photo of their test and submit it online to prove the result. University College London researchers said lateral flow tests detect the people most likely to spread Covid and results should be trusted. The rule changes apply to treatment during the disease, in hospitals for example.” She added the main messages were patients could be reassured that statins do not increase risk, that people should continue taking them as prescribed – and “if there’s a direct effect on Covid mortality then that’s an added bonus”. Viktor Ahlqvist, study co-lead Cheaper tests for returning flyers FAMILIES jetting overseas for the half-term holiday will save hundreds of pounds after rule changes on Covid testing. Lateral flow tests will replace expensive PCRs from October 24 for travellers returning to the UK. The tests can be booked from next Friday. Ministers have been working with companies to make sure there are enough in place to huge increase in demand” because of the backlog caused by Covid and was “sorry” to hear about Mrs Shonk’s ordeal. Doctors have called for more staff and beds, particularly in intensive care wards, to tackle the backlog. NHS national medical director Professor Stephen Powis said although the service was “running hot”, staff had “moved heaven and earth delivering millions more tests, checks, treatments and operations”. Health Secretary Sajid Javid yesterday defended his blueprint to boost access to GPs, including a £250million winter access fund. During a visit to Vale Medical Centre in Forest Hill, south-east London, he said: “We want to support them to do what they do best, which is to see patients, and to see more patients promptly and in a way that the patient chooses.” By Sam Lister most travel for children and fully vaccinated adults. But travellers returning from destinations on the red list will still have to spend 11 nights in a quarantine hotel, costing £2,285. Health Secretary Sajid Javid said: “We want to make going abroad easier and cheaper, whether you’re travelling for work or visiting friends and family.” author and a doctoral student in the Institutet’s department of global public health, said: “All in all, our findings support the continued use of statins for conditions such as cardiovascular disease and high levels of blood lipids in line with current recommendations during the Covid-19 pandemic.” Dr Peter Penson, from the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences at Liverpool John Moores University, said statins were used widely to reduce production of cholesterol in the liver but they also have other biological effects such as reducing inflammation. He added: “Investigators have therefore suggested that statins may have beneficial effects in a range of conditions, including Covid-19. “These results cannot tell us whether statins caused a reduction in death, nor can they tell us whether statins could be used to treat Covid-19 (although other trials are ongoing to address this

However, the results provide reassurance that for most patients, it is likely to be safe to continue statin therapy to prevent cardiovascular disease during the pandemic. “This is especially important because patients with cardiovascular diseases appear to be at high risk of complications from Covid-19”. Previous evidence on links between statins and Covid risk was mixed. A study of 14,000 hospital patients with the virus in China found those who took statins were 42 per cent less likely to die. Other studies found no association. Tim Chico, consultant cardiologist and professor at the University of Sheffield who was not involved in the research, said there Bonus effect... Rita Bergqvist had been debate because statins cut inflammation in blood vessels and the virus causes inflammation. He agreed that the results did not mean Covid patients should be prescribed statins.“This study does suggest statins are safe in Covid- 19, which is reassuring but was never really in question. These results do not in any way justify using statins to treat Covid-19.” Prof Chico added: “We already have effective ways to lower risk of death in Covid-19: social distancing, hand washing, mask wearing and vaccination in the population and use of techniques and drugs with a good evidence base, like dexamethasone, in people with severe Covid- 19 infections.” The findings were published in the peerreviewed weekly journal PLOS Medicine. Opinion: Page 12 COUNCIL tax would need to be hiked by 10 per cent if social care is to “stand still,” says Age UK. It would raise £3.3billion with the average Band D household paying up to £180 more a year. But this would be “extremely unfair” as it would leave people in need of care in some areas “seriously disadvantaged”, warned the charity’s report. It is calling on Chancellor Rishi Sunak for an urgent central government cash injection instead. His decisions in this month’s spending review will determine whether social care services “wither and die”, stand still or get stronger. Caroline Abrahams, Age UK charity director and co-chairwoman of the Care and Support Alliance, said: “Social care’s problems are national, as the Prime Minister recognised with his promise to ‘fix them once and for all’. “It’s not fair for ministers to try to shift the responsibility on to local areas to stump up the cash. “Our new analysis shows even if you make local people pay a whopping additional 10 per cent in council tax – on top of the 19 per cent average rise we’ve seen in recent years – it still won’t give social care all the money it needs. “Meanwhile this intensifies the postcode lottery which means older people have much more chance of getting a decent care service in some places, compared to others. Social care provision is too important to too many people for its fate to depend on COUNCIL tax rises, including the social care precept, have always been a sticking plaster for funding adult social care. What it urgently needs is a sustainable long-term solution that provides the certainty councils need to be able to plan. It’s alarming that the Government appears to be relying on this, alongside the need for “long-term efficiencies” to meet the core costs still facing our care system, which have been exacerbated by Covid-19. Council tax raises different amounts in different parts of the country, and has little relationship to need. Social care has already had to meet a £6.1billion funding gap over the past decade through savings and reductions to adult care and support, plus Cash crisis...council tax hikes will not end funding gap says Age UK caption: Is in 8.5pt helvetica bold except when it’s on a picture when local politics and local tax bases.”A rise in council tax in England has been mooted as a way to boost social care funding. However analysis suggests the amount this would generate would be unequal across the country. The Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that council tax increases in the richest 10 councils could generate 45 per cent more per person than in the poorest 10 councils. Poorest Age UK is calling for Mr Sunak to give the sector the money it needs from a central pot, rather than through councils raising their taxes individually. Harry Fone, grassroots campaign manager at the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “Constant council tax rises are COMMENT cllr david fothergill LGA’s Community Wellbeing Board diverting money from other council services. Increasing council tax to pay for social care may feel like a double whammy for hardpressed residents, who will be paying twice for a service now that the Government’s new Health and Social Care Levy is being introduced. Of the estimated £36billion the new levy will raise UK-wide over three years, only £5.4billion is to be ring-fenced for social care in hitting residents hard, yet many people wonder exactly what they are getting for their money.” The Health and Social Care Select Committee said the sector needs £3.9billion of extra annual funding by 2023-24 “as a starting point” to meet demographic changes and wage rises. Councillor David Fothergill, chairman of the Local Government Association’s community wellbeing board, said: “Council tax increases have always been a sticking plaster solution and should not be relied upon further.” Money from a national insurance rise will mainly go to the NHS over the next three years, with Age UK saying this will leave social care “desperately short of funds”. Opinon: Page 12 England. Unlike for the NHS, none of this money is allocated to help tackle the pressures facing social care now. The introduction of the care costs cap and increased financial means tests thresholds will absorb a substantial part of the £5.4billion and the costs of this financial reform will continue to rise. This could leave little or nothing to pay for other desperately needed social care reforms such as investing in prevention, addressing care worker pay, recruitment and retention, quality, access, innovation and new models of care, and meeting unmet and under-met need. The upcoming Spending Review and the planned white paper on adult social care must tackle these issues head on.

6 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 By Sam Lister Deputy Political Editor Rishi Sunak has insisted there will be plenty of gifts on supermarket shelves to go around the nation’s Christmas trees – but retailers have warned their prices will rocket. The Chancellor said the Government was working with businesses under pressure and doing “absolutely everything” possible to sort out supply shortages hitting stores. Mr Sunak said he was positive enough Christmas supplies would flow in time for the present-buying surge, saying: “We’re doing absolutely everything we can to mitigate some of these challenges. “They are global in nature so we can’t fix every single problem, but I feel confident there will be good provision of goods for everybody. “I’m confident there will be a good amount of Christmas presents available for everyone to buy.” Save-our-Christmas measures include rules being eased within weeks to allow foreign lorry drivers to do more pick-ups when they are in the UK.

Energy consultancy BFY Group said firms that pick up the pieces from failed groups will be able to claim back close to £1.3billion in expenses from British households. Yesterday, energy supplier Daligas ceased to trade, becoming the third to collapse this week and one of a dozen to fail since September. The swapping of suppliers will result in a further price hike across all surviving groups, experts said. hauliers can make only two pickups or drop-offs on one visit to the country – which prevents overseas drivers from undercutting British workers. However, the Government hopes the proposed changes will help meet the high demand in the UK for truckers. There will be a oneweek consultation, with reforms being made soon after. Mr Sunak has also held talks in the United States with finance ministers from the G7 group of leading world economies to find a way to ease the international supply chain crisis. He said the group agreed to work closely over the coming months to “build a strong and resilient recovery”.

Britain will offer six-month emergency visas to 800 butchers to avoid a mass pig cull caused by a shortage of labour and supply chain issues. Environment Secretary George Eustice said the requirement for butchers to be fluent in English will not be dropped. The army of workers is expected to begin arriving from next month. Mr Eustice added: “There have been lots of market disruptions, problems with access to the Chinese market, maybe some overproduction – here production is up by about seven per cent. “Labour has been an aggravating factor but it’s not been the only factor. “The pig industry, in common with many parts of the food industry, has seen a loss of staff as many of the EU citizens that they relied on left during the pandemic – nothing to do with Brexit.” A shortage of butchers at industrial slaughterhouses has resulted in too many pigs on farms.

There will also be more small and medium-sized businesses defaulting on their loans towards the end of the year, it found.

By Richard Palmer Royal Correspondent THE Queen has voiced her frustration at foreign politicians stalling on attending a vital UN climate change conference hosted by Britain this month. Her Majesty, 95, complained to the Duchess of Cornwall and Elin Jones, presiding officer of the Welsh Parliament, that the UK still had no idea who might be attending the COP26 conference, which is due to begin in Glasgow on October 31. It has been billed as a crucial point at which nations will have to commit to drastic measures to combat global warming. One of the few who has confirmed he will be there is US President Joe Biden. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese premier Xi Jinping, leader of the world’s biggest polluting nation, have still not committed to attending. The Queen, who was in Cardiff with Prince Charles and Camilla to attend the official opening of the sixth session of the Senedd, the country’s devolved parliament, said: “Extraordinary isn’t it...I’ve been hearing all about COP. Still don’t know who is coming. No idea. “We only know about people who are not coming.” In remarks overheard on the Senedd’s live feed, she appeared to talk about how many rooms had been reserved for delegates in Glasgow and whether they would be needed. “It’s really irritating when they talk but they don’t do,” she said. Ms Jones agreed and referred to Prince William’s criticism of space tourism in a BBC interview broadcast yesterday. “Exactly, it’s a time for doing,” she said. “And watching your All smiles...Camilla and Charles grandson on the television this morning saying there’s no point going to space. We need to save the Earth.” The Queen smiled and said: “Yes, I read about it.” Her frustration at world Caption Is in leaders echoed those of Charles, who complained in a TV interview this week about politicians failing to deliver on promises. “They just talk, and the problem is to get action on the ground,” he said. Charles, 72, also put pressure on Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to attend the conference amid suggestions he might not come to Britain. At the Senedd yesterday his mother wore a Welsh daffodil brooch, a rose Stewart Parvin coat and matching hat by Rachel Trevor-Morgan. For the second time this week she used a walking stick in public. In the Senedd chamber, she said: “We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have risen so magnificently to the challenges of the last 18 months. “They are shining examples of the spirit for which the Welsh people are so renowned, a spirit which I have personally encountered so many times.” Buckingham Palace declined to comment on her frustration over COP26.

He had been urged to resign during a public meeting of the North Yorkshire Fire and Crime Panel after all 11 members recorded a vote of no confidence. Allott, 62, was blasted for claiming during a radio interview that women should educate themselves about the powers of arrest. His comments came after Wayne Couzens used his position as a Metropolitan Police officer to falsely arrest Ms Everard in order to kidnap her before raping and murdering her. In response Allott said: “A police officer can’t just arrest you. There has to be a reason. “So women, first of all, need to be streetwise about when they can be arrested and when they can’t be arrested.” Almost 1,000 formal complaints were lodged directly with the panel, a public body. After stepping down, Allott said he wanted to apologise for his “car crash” interview.

DX1ST Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 11 By Steph Spyro THE contactless card limit rising to £100 today is “a dream” for criminals because they can steal hundreds of pounds within minutes, experts warn. Consumer expert Scott Dixon says the change will “open up numerous issues”. He said: “Thefts can take weeks to resolve with banks. Invariably this will be money that a lot of people won’t have and Christmas is just around the corner – meaning that many consumers will be left high and dry at the worst possible time.” The single-tap limit is rising from £45 but retailers’ terminals will have to be updated, so the option will not be available everywhere immediately. Dean Wallace, director of product management at global payments firm ACI Worldwide, said the rise will make some customers approach contactless with caution. Sinister He said: “If you lose your wallet with three credit or debit cards, that’s £300 at risk. And while UK Finance has reassured consumers they’re fully protected in the event of fraud, obviously some will still want to manage their own limits, which they can do.” He continued: “There is a wider, more sinister risk to the population as a whole, and that’s becoming carried away when spending. “We’ve already begun to see our bank balances deplete a lot quicker – particularly after nights out – with many approaching the contactless swipe as a ‘tap-and-don’tthink’ action. “Contactless is extremely simple to do, with minimal friction.

Fans of contactless include Prince William. The new limit will accommodate the UK’s weekly grocery shop average of £63.70, and eating out for four, which averages £93.

Khairi Saadallah, 27, lost a challenge against his whole-life sentence for the murders of three men following a Court of Appeal hearing yesterday. He was sentenced to die in prison after stabbing James Furlong, 36, Dr By Tom Pilgrim David Wails, 49, and Joseph Ritchie- Bennett, 39, on June 20 last year. In a joint statement, the three men’s families welcomed the upholding of his sentence after senior judges rejected Saadallah’s appeal bid. The statement said: “While nothing can bring back James, David and Joseph, it gives us some comfort to know that Saadallah will spend the whole of the rest of his life behind bars and that the public will be protected from this dangerous man. “The loss of James, Joseph and David has left a vast hole in all of our lives and not a day goes by that we don’t miss them tremendously. “We were robbed of our loved ones and we look forward to getting more answers through the inquest process about the circumstances surrounding Saadallah’s actions.” Three other people were injured in the attack in Forbury Gardens, Reading, before Saadallah threw away the eight-inch knife he used and attempted to flee the scene.

But the latest stunning revelation that the pills can reduce the impact of Covid and potentially save lives is a very important development. We have to remember that eight million people in Britain use this drug and many of them are in vulnerable categories for Covid. So if the research from Sweden turns out to be true, then this is a very important development in the war against this disease. While there is an ongoing debate about the potential side effects of statins, it is becoming increasingly clear that it is truly a wonder drug saving millions of lives. An additional benefit of reducing the risk of dying from coronavirus by around 12 per cent could be a long-term gamechanger. The vaccine has itself been a medical miracle but that does not mean that other avenues for cures or protection against Covid should be ignored. The UK Government now needs to conduct its own research into statins to see if it can corroborate the Swedish findings. Cutting waste is priority many people’s hearts will be sinking when they hear the claim that council tax needs to rise by 10 per cent just to keep social care at the current level. This country is already overtaxed and has just had to brace itself for an increase in National Insurance contributions to pay for the same problem – social care. While it is true that councils have borne the brunt of much of the necessary austerity from the financial crash a decade ago, it feels hard to justify such a hike in council tax at a time when inflation is on the verge of leaping up, bringing with it a huge increase in the cost of living. We also have to remember that council tax does not differentiate between rich and poor, just the size of property people live in. It is a tax that especially penalises the elderly and this newspaper in the past has campaigned against hikes. Councils and the Government should be looking at how they are spending public money and whether it is all being spent wisely. The first instinct should be to cut waste not increase taxes. Her Majesty’s wise words After almost seven decades on the throne the Queen has more than earned the right to be straight talking about the people she meets. Many will sympathise with her comments about those world leaders not committing to attending Cop26 in Glasgow while trying to sound virtuous about saving the planet. Her Majesty is right to say that people expect actions not just words when it comes to dealing with the most important of issues. a GP in person is vital for our health When asked how he had persuaded family doctors to agree to the foundation of the NHS, Labour’s post-war health minister Nye Bevan declared that he had “stuffed their mouths with gold”. The offer by the current Health Secretary, Sajid Javid, of £250million to help GPs maintain appointments through what could be a difficult winter isn’t exactly emptying the contents of Fort Knox, but it is nevertheless a substantial sum. At the very least, you might expect the doctors’ union, the BMA, to welcome the money and to agree to the condition that Javid has put upon it – which is that surgeries must hit targets for face-to-face appointments. But sadly that is not how things work at the BMA. Rather, spokesman Dr Richard Vautrey said he was “hugely dismayed” by the offer, accusing the Government of being “out of touch” and adding “it is disappointing to see there is no end in sight to the preoccupation with face-to-face appointments”. If the BMA think that wanting to see a doctor in the flesh is just a preoccupation of the Government, then sorry, it is they who are out of touch. An online petition on the website Change.org demanding that GPs restart face-to-face appointments has so far gathered 560,000 signatures. M any doctors, too, have warned of the importance of face-toface appointments. As Professor Karol Sikora, former director of the World Health Organisation’s cancer programme, has argued, it is often subtle symptoms like a patient’s pallor that first leads to a diagnosis of cancer. That is rather harder to spot in a Zoom call – and impossible in a telephone conversation. There is no reason why GP surgeries should not by now have reverted to their pre-pandemic levels of service. Pubs, GOOD TO SEE YOU: GPs can spot subtle signs, including cancer, with face-to-face patient visits shops, theatres have been open for months – and hospital staff have had to see patients face to face throughout the crisis. Yet GPs seem to be lagging way behind. In July, only 58 per cent of appointments were recorded as being face to face, compared with 80 per cent in January 2020. Moreover, NHS Digital admitted that even the 58 per cent figure might be an exaggeration, as some districts seem to be recording all appointments as face to face, however they were held. In truth, the NHS has been pushing for years for a shift towards remote appointments, with disgraced former health secretary Matt Hancock a particular advocate – he personally switched from his NHS GP to an online service called Babylon. It was supposed to increase efficiency. Yet the overall number of appointments has fallen since remote appointments Ross Clark Political commentator became the norm, from 27.2 million in January 2020 to 25.5 million in July 2021. There has been no great improvement in waiting times. In July, 45.7 per cent of patients were able to get a consultation on the same day, only modestly up on the 41.7 per cent in January 2020. Still, 24.3 per cent are waiting for more than a week. Nor has there been any great technological revolution. In July, a mere 0.4 per cent of appointments were online, lower than before the pandemic. Most remote appointments were on a plain old telephone, where the doctor can’t see patients’ lumps, bumps and spots. Given that many of the patients most in need of NHS care do not have the internet, it is difficult to see how it could be any other way. I know that being a GP can be a tough job, and that we don’t train enough doctors – something we need to put right. ‘In truth, the NHS has pushed for years for remote appointments’ But GPs can hardly be said to have had a bad deal. Thanks to a bungled pay deal by the Blair government in 2003, they received a fat pay rise while simultaneously being allowed to opt out of evening and weekend care. Various promises of longer opening hours for surgeries have come to nothing. In the past four years GPs’ pay has risen by 11 per cent to reach an average of over £100,000. While I am sure we could do with more GPs, claims about an “exodus” are wide of the mark. While numbers of fully qualified GPs working in the NHS did dip during the first few months of the pandemic, by September last year it had recovered to 39,265, an extra 300 compared with a year earlier. Surely it is not too much to expect GPs to return to providing the level of service they were before the pandemic. Much as I appreciate being able to speak to a GP – sometimes – without a trek to the surgery, face-to-face consultations have always been the bedrock of primary care. Sajid Javid is quite right to demand that patients be able to see their doctors and not be fobbed off with a phone call.

DX1ST Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 13 Frederick Forsyth Will EU face a Pole-axing this time? Before the UK finally voted on Brexit and decided by a narrow but clear margin to go for it, an issue of major concern was our national sovereignty. This hinged on a clear alternative: whose law was finally supreme? Ours via our Supreme Court or Brussels’ via the European Court of Justice? The two were mutually incompatible. No nation whose constitutional decisions can be overruled by a foreign court is sovereign. We chose to claw back our legal sovereignty. Now Poland faces the same quandary. Its Supreme Court has just decreed that its decisions are supreme in matters controlling Poland and its citizens. Brussels has responded without delay in declaring the reverse. There is no half-way house here. It is one or the other and it cannot be avoided or long delayed. Now voices are declaring that Poland might have to consider withdrawing as we did and for the same reason. And in Hungary, PM Viktor Orban is saying much the same thing. Troubled times. ■I’ve said it before. Permit me again because it is now being confirmed in high places. During the Covid crisis the Sage committee did more damage to this country than anything since the Luftwaffe. Their members are being showered with honours. ■On a merrier note, few of us love insurance companies but Aviva has opened its archives on some of the stranger claims. In 1875, a vicar was awarded the then huge recompense of £120 for hurting himself while playing leapfrog. In 1878, a hotelier collected £25 for firing a champagne cork into his eye. About then a man collected damages when his finger was damaged after becoming caught in a woman’s corset. Like them or not, one has to take one’s hat off to an insurer who paid out to a claimant whose finger got stuck in a lady’s underwear. A modern claims assessor might ask what it was doing there. Perhaps the Victorians were not so prudish after all. Energy is needed for Britain, not speeches What exactly were the Tories doing all last week in Manchester? That’s easy. Congratulating themselves and each other. Much harder is the second question: for what exactly? This country is on the threshold of a winter of privation and discontent to match that of 1978-’79. Services we foolishly presumed to be eternal are collapsing, right, left and centre, starting with DVLA Swansea, which now has a 300,000 application backlog that is going to need at least a year to clear. Many asked for a licence renewal a year ago and are still driving (legally) without one. Everything we do not want to rise is going through the roof – taxes, prices, pettifoggin’ bureaucracy, queues, form-filling and costs to the taxpayer. Supplies of what we vitally need are drying up – often for lack of delivery drivers. Crops go unpicked now the cheapo Europeans have pulled out and gone home and in-country replacements either have never been trained or cannot be paid enough. Rishi Sunak’s money tree finally, and wholly predictably, looks thoroughly diseased, but looming far larger and more dangerous over us all is the pending energy crisis. I may have mentioned this before to the point of yawn time, but the yawning will end as the first Beast from the East roars in and we sit shivering in homes we can no longer afford to heat. It would be impossible to have predicted the mess the Government could have made out of energy policy on needs and supply thereof. There was the chance of fracking for the vast ocean of natural gas and oil on which this country sits. Ignored. There were the new technologies for fast, affordable, small and safe nuclear generators. Lethargy prevailed – nothing done. Our electricity supplies have been left in the hands of France – still our friends as Macron indulges his hysteria over those submarines? Our logjam of eco madness IS THE REAL burning ISSUE OF pollution In far-away central USA, primal forests centuries old are being chainsawed down to provide timber. The process produces CO2 while living forests do the reverse. They are the lungs of the planet. The felled trunks are trucked away and sawed up – more CO2. The logs are machined into millions of pellets, which are loaded on to diesel-powered ■HOW sad to see the final collapse of Lebanon, once a lovely country with the Paris of the East, Beirut, as its capital. I was first there in 1958 as a young RAF officer. Its population was part Maronite-Greek, part Arab. The former, brilliant with money, ran the lucrative banking industry, which kept the country rich. I was there when the Druze Arabs swept over the Chouf Mountains into Beirut, starting the first civil war. Time to go. The RAF flew me back to Cyprus, just in time for the EOKA to break the ceasefire there with more violence. Ordered without ceremony into a Canberra bomber, I was flown back to Malta but the next time one of Dom Mintoff’s partisans (for independence) knifed a British sailor in the Gut – Valletta’s Gut, not the seaman’s. So three revolutions in a week and a flight back to Blighty. gas supplies depend on Russia now and Putin can turn off the taps any time he feels like it. Liquid petroleum gas arrives by tanker from the Middle East – we hope. Wind and sun do not scratch the surface of our problem but burning coal is still a no-no for eco reasons. Geo-thermal energy – not even explored with an experimental project. Hydroelectricity (our eternal and free tides) barely touched. But energy in any form to generate electricity is the key – for the lights staying on, the radiators staying warm, for the industrial machines to turn, for the delivery trucks to roll, for our many domestic devices to function. Cut that off and we’re dead. But December’s supply? In the lap of the gods. What really rankles at village green and street corner level is that everything going wrong was ships and brought across to Britain. Still more huge quantities of CO2. Once here, the pellets are trucked to the Drax power station in North Yorkshire and finally burned to create noncoal-sourced energy. But this “eco” power station is thus actually creating more CO2 – ie pollution – than the old coal-fired plant whose coal sources were a few RAVAGED: Decades of civil war and corruption killed off beautiful Beirut After years of peace and prosperity Lebanon was racked by another civil war, 1975 to 1990, and Beirut flattened. But with in-pouring wealth it was rebuilt as a modern and ultra-fashionable city. From 2019 its surely final destruction began and complete banking and financial collapse has ensued. The core reason? As ever, massive public corruption from presidency to street corner cop. Of all the nation-killers, disease, war, poverty and natural disaster are recoverable, but the hidden cancer of corruption accepts no cure – only extermination if possible. But it never is. The reformer takes power, becomes a dictator and the corruption always returns. One is bound to ask why a people to whom the Almighty has given so much in land, climate and talent insist on destroying His gift? Answer that and you have solved the world’s biggest enigma. predictable and therefore preventable. But never mind, Boris Johnson made a wonderful closing speech. Very funny. But Tommy Cooper was funny. We never put him in Downing Street. Perhaps we should have. He could not have made a bigger cock-up than BoJo. So I predict that come December, the Telegraph and Mail will be singing a different tune. yards away. Once again the ill-thought-out “eco” measures are creating more pollution than they are ever replacing. Sensible, viable measures to reduce atmospheric pollution we can all agree with, but this eco madness – and there are other examples all over the country – is mega-expensive and counter-productive. Still, it keeps the luvvies on their fat salaries.

Serving suggestion. £3 Irresistible Mac & Cheese for cosy nights in AUTUMN is a magical time of year for nature lovers. Well, every time of year is spellbinding if you like finches or foxes or the seasonal kaleidoscope of trees. But autumn, like spring, is when the world’s birds are on the move. So last weekend I went to a local chain of flooded old quarries which are a magnet for passing waders and wildfowl. A few ducks had arrived for the winter – shovelers and wigeon, possibly from Iceland, and teal from northern Russia – while this year’s little grebes had shed their fledgling stripes to emerge in adult colours. A buzzard and a red kite idled over, flocks of tits chatted, but exotics there were none. Back home I was preparing for a spot of gardening when the phone rang. It was Gordon, who patrols these lakes daily. No bird visits without checking in with him first. “If you get down to Spyne’s Mere you’ll find an adult spoonbill,” he promised. I’ve only seen these big white herons in the UK once – in Norfolk this spring – so pruning lavender went out of the window. Ten minutes later I joined Gordon and another regular, Richard, who had actually spotted the spoonbill. To my relief, it was still there on a muddy island right in front of us. It was performing its party piece of wading while waving its long spatula bill from side to side, sifting out shrimps and small fish from the murky water. It had lost its springtime breeding mane of white feathers which, with its long bill, would have made it look like a jazz clarinetist. All that was left was a white tuft, a bit like a hipster whose hair is too short but still wants a pony tail. Spoonbills are part of an invasion of white herons from further south – little and great white egrets, cattle egrets and the like – who seem to quite like global warming, thank you very much. And then, a shout, and Gordon had spotted a Mediterranean gull in among the black-headed, one that fledged this year. I find that most gulls look pretty much the same until they reach adulthood, which can take up to four years, so I doffed my cap to the expert. But what a wonderful 30 minutes. Two unexpected wanderers in my backyard. Autumn has got me in its spell once again. The garden can wait. Picture: GETTY IF CONCRETE were a country it would be the third largest CO2 emitter after China and the US. Manchester University’s Concretene offers hope. It mixes graphene in concrete which can cut CO2 emissions by 30 per cent. You need 30 per cent less concrete, less steel reinforcement and less money because it cuts costs. Win, win. THE night is alive with the sound of birds. Tawny owls are particularly active, hooting their love calls, but listen out too for a Scandinavian invader. On murky nights you can often hear the high-pitched, thin “seeth” calls of passing redwing fleeing the looming Nordic winter. GREEN TIP: Recycle old clothing. Less than one per cent is recycled. The rest ends up rotting in landfill. BBC Autumnwatch presenter Chris Packham is a toughie. This outspoken critic of hunting has just endured a firebomb attack on his car and gates. But he stands by his views. You may not agree with him. But you have to admire his guts. ONE way to reduce plastic pollution is to use the product more than once. So Finnish firm Rens is making trainers out of used coffee grounds and recycled plastic bottles. Since launching two years ago they’ve recycled more than 750,000 cups of coffee and 250,000 plastic bottles. BUTTERFLIES are beauty on the wing but since 1976 three in four have declined in the UK, says Butterfly Conservation. It has launched a bold five-year plan to halve the number of butterflies and moths under threat, improve their 100 most important habitats and transform 100,000 wild places. I wish BC well. The number of butterflies in this summer’s Big Butterfly Count was the lowest ever despite a record number taking part. Imagine a summer without, say, a Peacock (left). john.ingham@reachplc.com

Hopes for Pistols to heal their wounds By Mark Jefferies Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook wants to make peace with old bandmate John Lydon following their bitter recent court case. Cook, 65, guitarist Steve Jones, 66, and 65-year-old Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, were involved in a legal dispute over using the band’s songs in new TV special Pistol. Lydon said they could not use the tracks without his consent, but Cook and Jones argued that an agreement formed in 1998 meant that a majority basis settles such decisions. They were backed by a judge. Cook said: “It was disappointing. It was really sad, actually.

Muslim convert Espen Andersen Brathen, 37, killed four women and a man aged between 50 and 70 in Kongsberg, south-east Norway, yesterday. A female artist in her 50s was one of those murdered. Hanne Englund is believed to have been left dying in a pool of blood outside her home where she lived with her husband. Warning Three people, including an off-duty police officer, were wounded. He appeared to pick his victims at random. Police said the killings looked to be an “act of terror”. In 2017, the Danish national, said by a friend to be a paranoid schizophrenic, posted sinister videos on YouTube, one in Norwegian and one in English. He warned: “Hello, I am a messenger. I come with a warning...Bear witness that I am a Muslim.” Last year his family took out a restraining order after he threatened to shoot dead his father and a friend urged police to intervene “before lives are lost”. Brathen has a Norwegian father and a Danish mother but is understood to have spent most of his life in Norway.

One of them was a woman holding a child by the hand.” A relative of Brathen said: “The last thing I heard about him was how he turned up at his mother’s home with a sabre in a bag. She ran away.” Norway’s prime minister Jonas Gahr Stoere called the killings “gruesome and brutal” and King Harald said: “We’re horrified by the tragic events.” Pictures: getty Fears over working 5 more years By Sarah O’Grady Workers could be forced to stay in the job for five years longer if plans to increase fees charged on pension funds is announced in the Budget, experts say. The Government is considering relaxing the 0.75 per cent fee cap, which it hopes will raise funds for its so-called “levelling up” agenda. Any change could have a major impact on retirement plans as new, higher fees would eat into investment returns. Based on reaching a typical retirement pot of £305,000 by the age of 66 – the amount required to generate £19,000 a year including the state pension – savers would have to work five more years if fees rose from 0.75 to 1.5 per cent, according to XPS Pensions Group. If fees rose to one per cent it would mean an extra year of working, while two per cent would mean nine more years. This is based on the assumption that a saver invests £200 a month from age 21.

Pictures: getty Banksy’s Love In Bin fetches £16m in bidding battle A BANKSY artwork sliced by a hidden shredder as it was auctioned off has now sold for £16million. Onlookers gasped when the then-titled Girl With Balloon was sucked into the mechanism concealed in the frame when the hammer fell. It had just sold for £1,042,000 at Sotheby’s, London, in 2018. It was then renamed as Love Is In The Bin and put up for auction yesterday with an estimate of £4million-£6million. But nine bidders battled for 10 minutes to buy it. Once the auctioneer’s fees were added the purchaser, whose identity is unknown, paid £18.5million. Street artist Banksy, whose identity is kept secret, said on Instagram in 2018: “Some people think it didn’t really shred. By Emily Braeger It did. Some people think the auction house was in on it, they weren’t.” Sotheby’s said the work fitted into an illustrious history of anti-art including Marcel Duchamp’s submission of Fountain, a porcelain urinal remounted on a pedestal in 1917, to Ai Weiwei, who photographed himself intentionally dropping an alleged Han Dynasty urn. Sotheby’s spokesman Alex Branczik said: “During that memorable night, Banksy did not so much destroy an artwork by shredding it, but instead created one. “Today this piece is considered heir to a venerated legacy of antiestablish ment art.” DX1ST Art of surprise...picture after it was shredded.

It’s probably time (your energy right now) CAMPAIGNING parents have called wood stoves “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” after complaints to councils skyrocketed due to air pollution fears. Mums for Lungs claim burning a wood stove inside a home is like having 750 diesel trucks pumping their exhaust into the living room. These stoves are estimated to cause more than a third – 38 per cent – of PM2.5, a deadly form of air particles linked to lung cancer, strokes, heart attacks and dementia. Jemima Hartshorn, founder of the campaign group, said: “It’s like a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Even so-called eco-stoves emit much more pollution than diesel HGVs – and you wouldn’t want those in your living room.” At least 18,600 complaints have been made to councils in the last six years but only 19 fines have been issued, a Freedom of Information request has revealed. Last year the number of complaints was 5,500. Hazel Agombar, from Winchester, said: “When our neighbours light their log burners our home is enveloped in toxic smoke. I am powerless to stop it. I feel total Hidden dangers...a wood burner despair at times.” Asthma sufferer Graham Turnbull, of Sheffield, says local wood burners push up PM2.5 levels to 15 times what the World Health Organization considers safe. He said: “We have had to install two expensive air purifiers that run 24/7.” About 200,000 wood-burning stoves are installed every year. Campaigners have written to Health Secretary Sajid Javid calling for them to be phased out by 2027. Jemima said: “We urge the Government to end wood burning – and those who have a woodburner to think twice.”

I almost cried when we walked in and she was on the wall larger than life. I couldn’t believe it was my little girl up there.” Francesca was excited and very proud too. Melissa added: “She loves telling people she’s in Primark. “There may have been an element of her being chosen because she has Down’s Syndrome, but if that makes disabilities more visible then that can only be a good thing. “Her disability may have ticked a box to start with – with brands keen to show their diversity, but since then she has been invited back. “She has had repeated jobs with Primark and Mothercare not because she has Down’s Syndrome, but because she is a very good model, follows directions well and is professional.” Melissa added: “I’d love it to be the norm for all types of people to see themselves represented in ad campaigns and in stores.” Francesca is the youngest of three children. Both her siblings are also in the modelling industry and the family have featured in adverts together. Melissa said: “We were at the cinema and an advert came on and Francesca shouted ‘it’s me’.

The average rate now stands at 1.58 children per woman, while births overall have dropped 4.1 per cent from 2019. Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed there were 613,936 live births last year in England and Wales. Nearly 30 per cent were to women born outside the UK – the highest since 1969. The number of births by European-born mothers dropped six per cent while the number by South Asian women soared by 10 per cent. There were 2,371 stillbirths, which amounts to 3.8 per 1,000 births. This is down from 3.9 stillbirths per 1,000 births in 2019. The average age of new mums is 30.7 years – the same as in 2019.

The ONS’s James Tucker said: “The story is one of decreases.” Neighbour ‘rammed’ in road row By Joe Morgan A neighbour rammed his van into a pensioner in a row over an access road to their homes, a court has heard. Thomas Robinson was left with a bleed on the brain, spinal and rib fractures and a bruised aorta and had to spend four months in hospital. Charles Wood, 59, denies attempted murder after his VW Transporter mounted the pavement in March last year on the road the men were fighting over. He accepts he was the driver but says he has no memory of the incident in Sandhurst, Kent. The dispute was over access to Wood’s farm, which is via a road running beside Mr Robinson’s property, jurors were told. Witness John Pearce told the jury: “It was done deliberately, from my point of view. I heard the thud. “There was no attempt made to miss him.” Afterwoods, Woods allegedly drove away. The trial at Maidstone Crown Court continues.

20 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 DX1ST Finally a keeper! Joy of Floyd’s Roger, 78, as he weds wife No 5 PINK Floyd singer Roger Waters has married for the fifth time – to his one-time chauffeur who is 35 years his junior. The singer and bassist, 78, By Christopher Bucktin yesterday announced he had tied the knot with Kamilah Chavis, 43, at his £12million Bridgehampton Waters, right, with Nick Mason, David Gilmour and Rick Wright estate in New York. He posted pictures with his bride, writing: “I’m so happy, finally a keeper.” Little is known about his new wife, although in an interview three years ago he said Kamilah “drove the car” that took him to and from his hotel to his gig. In 2018, Roger said: “We are not married, but we have been together for a couple of years.” Reportedly worth £226million, Waters ended his three-year marriage to actress and filmmaker Laurie Durning in 2015. Shine on ...Roger and Kamilah GET READY Bishop quits ‘PC Anglican church’ to be a Catholic COMING SOON TO PRIDE OF BRITAIN CELEBRATING UNSUNG HEROES ONE of Britain’s best-known Anglican bishops has converted to Catholicism after accusing the Church of England of pandering to political and cultural correctness. Michael Nazir-Ali, 72, who was the Bishop of Rochester from 1994 until 2009, says he was galvanised by the Church of England “jumping on to every faddish bandwagon about identity politics, cultural correctness and mea culpas about Britain’s imperial past”. He added that by becoming Catholic he will be “belonging to a church where there is clear teaching for the faithful”. The father of two, who could be ordained as a Catholic priest next month, had been contemplating the switch for “some years”. He has joined the Catholic Ordinariate, set up in 2011 by Pope Benedict to allow Anglicans to enter into the full communion of the Catholic Church. However, because he is married he cannot become a Catholic bishop. This comes weeks after the C of E Bishop of Ebbsfleet, Defecting... Dr Nazir-Ali By Paul Jeeves Jonathan Goodall, stepped down following concerns cited by friends over the “direction of the church”. In 2010, five bishops left because of their dissatisfaction over the introduction of female bishops. Dr Nazir-Ali’s conversion is seen as the most significant since Graham Leonard, the former Bishop of London, was received into the Catholic Church in 1994 after rejecting the ordination of women priests. Other conversions have included the Duchess of Kent, former prime minister Tony Blair and Daily Express columnist Anne Widdecombe. In 2008 Dr Nazir-Ali claimed that radical Islam was filling the moral vacuum left by the decline in Christian virtues and said the “social and sexual revolution” of the 1960s had wrecked British society. Yesterday the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, thanked Dr Nazir-Ali for his “decades of devoted service”. He added: “I will be praying for him and his wife, Valerie, that this new step in their journey might draw them ever closer to God in Christ.”

DX1ST Pictures: Iain Watts, Julian Hamilton Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 21 Farewell to ‘Sir’ Roger ‘Doorbell ruling will ruin me’ By Chris Riches By Chris Riches LIVERPOOL legends paid tribute to World Cup winner Roger Hunt at the football star’s funeral yesterday. The beloved Reds striker, known to fans as Sir Roger, died last month aged 83. England and Anfield icons flocked to the Merseyside city’s cathedral to say goodbye to the forward, Liverpool’s record league scorer with 244 goals. Hunt was also a key player in Sir Alf Ramsey’s England side that won the World Cup in 1966. Former Liverpool superstars Ian Rush and Kevin Keegan and ex-manager Roy Evans were among those in attendance at the service. Keegan, 70, told well-wishers: “He was a World Cup winner in 1966. He was Liverpool’s top scorer for eight years. He scored the first goal on Match Of The Day. He scored five hat-tricks in a season. I could go on and on. “Why isn’t there a statue of Sir Roger Hunt, as an inspiration to everyone passing by, the kids who want to play football?” Former England team-mate Sir Geoff Hurst, 79, was unable to make the service but his moving eulogy was read to the packed congregation. It read: “Roger was a great player, a very special person and a class act who I was Tribute...Kevin Keegan Three police officers on one force accused of rape A PC, sergeant and special constable from the same police force are facing trial for rape after being charged over separate incidents. All three, from West Midlands Police, face court cases next year and in early 2023. It emerged the PC was charged in June, the sergeant in October 2019, and the special constable in April of that year. The PC and the special constable have been suspended. The sergeant is now retired from the force. A fourth West Midlands PC, who was cleared of rape last August, is facing a misconduct review. The details emerged yesterday as police struggle to regain public trust after the rape and murder of Sarah Legends...Roy Evans, left, and Ian Rush at service yesterday privileged to have as my strike partner but, more importantly, my friend.” Hunt’s funeral cortege, with his coffin draped in a red Liverpool flag, was applauded by fans outside Anfield before heading to the cathedral. His wife Rowan, children David and Julie and stepchildren Katie and Wayne were joined for the service by between 300 and 400 mourners. Liverpool’s anthem, You’ll Never Walk Alone, was sung before Hunt’s coffin departed to the tune ahead of a private ceremony at the Anfield Crematorium. Born in Golborne, Cheshire, in 1938, Hunt signed for Liverpool in 1958 and made his 492nd and final outing for the club in 1969. He is the sixth 1966 World Cup winner to pass away since May 2018. His death leaves Hurst, Sir Bobby Charlton and George Cohen as the only three surviving players from the final. By John Twomey Everard by Parliament protection officer PC Wayne Couzens. The killer, 48, now serving a whole-life sentence, used his Metropolitan Police warrant card to falsely arrest Sarah, 33, in south London in March. Home Secretary Priti Patel has ordered an inquiry into Sarah’s killing to ensure tactics used by Couzens to ensnare her can never happen again. An internal inquiry is also probing the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, where Couzens was serving when he killed Sarah. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating the police response to a report Couzens twice exposed himself at a takeaway restaurant 72 hours before he kidnapped Sarah. After Couzens was sentenced, it emerged that before Sarah’s murder he swapped disturbing material with fellow officers online. The IOPC’s deputy director general, Claire Bassett, has called for a culture change within the police service. Offensive She said: “What starts out as perhaps inappropriate jokes and language within a sort of canteen culture can easily spread to WhatsApp groups where perhaps there’s members of public, where there’s really inappropriate jokes and offensive images. “That, in turn, can be reflected in the way people are dealt with. The Sad parting...Roger Hunt’s coffin, draped with a Liverpool flag, leaves the cathedral yesterday most serious cases we see where those relationships and that trust that women – for example female victims, vulnerable victims – may place in the police, is abused and police abuse their position for sexual purposes.” Meanwhile, two conmen wearing “crude” fake police uniforms are being hunted after they tricked their way into a house in Barking, east London. They told the occupants they were there to search the property and were initially allowed inside, but fled after the residents demanded to see their identification. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “If one of our officers contacts you in person, they’ll show you their police warrant card. This is proof of their identity and authority.” A MAN fears he will lose his home to pay for up to £200,000 in legal bills because his doorbell cameras breached his neighbour’s privacy. Jon Woodard’s Ring device violated data rules and “harassed” Dr Mary Fairhurst, who moved out, a court ruled. The doorbells, sold by Amazon, tell the absent homeowner via a smartphone when a visitor arrives at the door. But a judge at Oxford County Court said Mr Woodard, 45, of Thame, Oxfordshire, had breached data protection laws. Judge Melissa Clarke said the images and audio files captured were classed as Dr Fairhurst’s personal data. A hearing next month is set to decide damages and legal costs but plumber Mr Woodard fears he faces paying up to £200,000. He said: “I know I’m going to lose my house...it’s going to ruin my life.” Ring said owners should tell people they are being recorded. CofE denies widow her final wish By Chris Riches A WIDOW’S hopes of being buried next to her late husband have been scuppered by Church of England red tape. Iris Egginton, 95, wanted the remains of James Egginton to be taken from his grave in Stafford and moved to Llaniestyn on Anglesey, where she now lives. James died on Christmas Eve 2017 and was buried in a double grave plot. But since the pandemic started Iris has been unable to visit his grave due to lockdown rules and because she is now infirm. Other members of the church-going family are also elderly and unlikely to be able to visit the grave. But Dr Anthony Verduyn, deputy chancellor of the Diocese of Lichfield, in his role as a judge of the consistory court, dismissed the plea. He said: “It must always be exceptional for exhumation to be allowed.” There were no “special circumstances” in this case, he added.

22 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 DX1ST HOW old did you SIR Anthony Hopkins, 83, oldest Oscar-winnING ACTOR At the 93rd Academy Awards in Los Angeles this year, British actor Sir Anthony Hopkins won the Best Actor Oscar for his performance as an elderly man with dementia in The Father. It was the second time Hopkins was named best actor – he won in 1992 for his role as Hannibal Lecter in The Silence Of The Lambs – which might explain why he didn’t bother to stay up to see how the awards worked out. When his victory was announced, he was asleep in bed in Wales. It makes Hopkins the oldest ever Oscar-winning actor, an honour previously held by the late Christopher Plummer, who was 82 when he won for Beginners in 2011. BIG SLEEP: Sir Anthony was in bed when he won the Oscar As William Shatner finally explores the final frontier at 90, the other golden oldies blazing a trail... WHEN he boldly went into space for real this week, William Shatner became the world’s oldest astronaut. But the 90-year-old Star Trek legend is just one of a host of golden oldies still showing the youngsters how it’s done. Whether the field of excellence is acting or painting or music, these inspirational celebrities are breaking records and winning awards at an age when most of us are taking it easy. TO OLDLY GO: Shatner went to space for real after years pretending to in Star Trek William Shatner, 90, oldest person in space For four decades he played Captain James T Kirk, the fearless commander of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek, yet a brief but successful flight into space reduced William Shatner to tears after he touched down at a landing site in the Texas desert. Shatner told Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos, founder of the private space company Blue Origin, that his 11-minute journey had a profound effect on him. “I hope I never recover from this,” he said alongside his three civilian crew mates and declared himself “overwhelmed”. Bezos, who pretended to be Captain Kirk as a kid, has sold $100million worth of tickets and aims to dominate the fledgling space tourism industry. SIR Elton John, 74, first to have a UK Top 10 single in six different decades In another week of firsts, Sir Elton John reached a historic milestone with his latest single Cold Heart – a collaboration with Dua Lipa – as the first musical act to score a Top 10 single in six different decades. It also looks set to knock Ed Sheeran off the No 1 spot. Elton’s hit Step Into Christmas reached the Top 10 in 1973 and again in 2020. With his latest hit, the star overtakes Elvis Presley, Cher, Cliff Richard, Michael Jackson and David Bowie, who each had Top 10 singles in five different decades. Unsurprisingly, the decade in which Elton reigned supreme was during the 1970s with hits such as Your Song, Rocket Man, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and – his first UK No 1 – Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, with Kiki Dee. JUBILATIONS: The Queen will mark 70-year reign The Queen, 95, longest reigning British monarch Her Majesty officially claimed her record as the longest-reigning British monarch on September 9, 2015, when she overtook her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria. Next year, she will also become the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, marking 70 years since her accession to the throne on February 6, 1952. Queen Elizabeth is also steadily rising up the table of the world’s longest-reigning monarchs and is now in fourth place. Still holding on to the top spot, with an impressive 72-year and 110-day reign, is Louis XIV of France who ruled from May 14, 1643 to September 1, 1715. Claudio Ranieri, 69, oldest manager in English PREMIER LEAGUE football (almost) The Italian takes charge of Watford for the first time tomorrow when they play Liverpool, four days before turning 70, and becomes the oldest current Premiership manager. But he has his eyes on a record: beating Roy Hodgson, who left Crystal Palace in May, just before his 74th birthday. Ranieri, who won the Premier League with Leicester City in 2015-16, said: “Football is my life. If I feel good, I want to continue until I’m 80.” Sir Alex Ferguson, Neil Warnock and Sir Bobby Robson are the only other Premier League managers who continued into their 70s. And at 72, Warnock is still in management as boss of Championship side Middlesbrough. CROWN: Ranieri will be oldest current Premier boss Sir Tom Jones, 81, oldest man to top the UK album chart The octogenarian Welshman’s fourth number one album – and his first since 1999’s Reload – knocked chart-toppers London Grammar off the top spot earlier this year. It made him the oldest male artist to land a No 1 album on the Official Chart – as well as the oldest artist to score a chart-topping studio album of new material at 80. Surrounded By Time finds him re-interpreting some old favourites including ballads such as The Windmills Of Your Mind, which won the Oscar for Best Song in 1969. “I am thrilled beyond words,” Sir Tom told the Official Charts Company. Setting a new chart record, he said, was “tremendous, just unbelievable”. TOP OF THE POPS: Sir Tom scored another No 1 album this year

DX1ST Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 23 say you were? Pictures: Getty, Reuters Angela Lansbury, 95, oldest musical theatre actress With her recent appearance as the narrator in the Disney musical Beauty And The Beast, which went on tour in the UK from Broadway, Dame Angela Lansbury is surely one of the oldest stage actresses still working and one of the most prolific of her generation. British-born Lansbury, who turns 96 tomorrow, played Mrs Potts in the animated Beauty And The Beast film. Her lengthy career started during the Golden Age of Hollywood. She won a new generation of fans with her TV series Murder, She Wrote, and just two years ago appeared as Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s comedy The Importance of Being Earnest on Broadway. GREAT DAME: In Mary Poppins Returns DOING TIME: Jane Fonda continued to complete her workouts while in jail COLOURFUL LIFE: David Hockney’s works continue to command top prices David Hockney, still painting at 84 The British painter, draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer and photographer is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century and, still working at the age of 84, is also one of the oldest. Hockney’s work, produced from studios in his native Yorkshire as well as London and California, also commands record-breaking prices. In 2018, his 1972 work Portrait Of An Artist (Pool With Two Figures) sold at Christie’s in New York for £65million, becoming the most expensive artwork by a living artist sold at auction. He held this record until 2019 when Jeff Koons’ Rabbit sold for more than £66million. He had a new exhibition at the Royal Academy in London earlier this year. Jane Fonda, 83, oldest celebrity fitness guru When A-lister Jane Fonda re-released her original routines on DVD in 2015, sales went through the roof. Then lockdown turned her into TikTok’s oldest Oscar-winning fitness guru. Fonda, 83, who won the Best Actress gong twice in the 70s, for Klute and Coming Home, has changed her exercise style. “I have osteoarthritis, so I can’t lift heavy weights,” she says. Instead she uses resistance bands and floor work. “I work every muscle group but I do it slowly.” She must also be the oldest Oscar winner to go to jail. She spent the night in custody in Washington DC two years ago after being arrested at a climate change demo. Sir David Attenborough, 95, longest career as a TV presenter Presented with a Chatham House Centenary Lifetime Award this week, Sir David is the longestserving TV naturalist. He made his debut on the BBC children’s programme Animal Disguises on September 2, 1953, and has remained on our screens to the present day. Earlier this year he narrated A Perfect Planet for BBC One. He has the POPULAR: Sir David made his TV debut in 1953 distinction of being the only person to have won Bafta awards for TV series in black and white, colour, HD and 3D formats. Last year he added to his accolades by achieving the fastest time to reach one million followers on Instagram, taking just 4 hours and 44 minutes (although this feat has since been surpassed by Harry Potter star Rupert Grint), overtaking Jennifer Aniston.

Picture: SWNS £250,000 for a parking space near Harrods DX1ST By Chris Dyer THIS sought after parking spot next to Harrods is on the market – but big wheels hoping to squeeze their Rolls Royce in will have to think again. At £250,000, the double spot in Knightsbridge, west London, costs more than some detached four-bed houses in places such as Hull and Blackburn. But measuring 34sq ft in gated Basil Street car park, inset, means top-range cars just won’t fit. It will also cost the new owner an annual £780 service charge over the 82-year lease. Snug Built 20 years ago, the site has a lift and 24-hour guards and is two levels underground. At 13ft 9in the space for sale comes in at shorter than the average parking spot which is 15ft 8in long. A £364,000 Rolls- Royce Phantom is more than 19ft long. And a £270,000 Lamborghini Aventador – popular with the Knightsbridge set – would be too snug a fit. A longer but narrower parking spot in the same building, marketed by Harrods Estates, sold for £250,000 in 2016. Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 25 Call abuse policeman avoids jail By Helen William A FORMER Met Police officer has been given a suspended 11-month jail sentence for harassing five colleagues. PC Ajay Singh, 24, issued threats, personal insults and verbal abuse to four female and one male officer in a number of phone calls while off duty in October 2020. He was sentenced at London’s Woolwich Crown Court for five counts of harassment, having pleaded guilty earlier this year. He was ordered to pay former colleagues compensation and complete 250 hours unpaid work. Supt Simon Crick, in charge of policing in Enfield and Haringey, north London, said: “This kind of conduct has no place in the Met.” Sacked young boss branded ‘golden boy’ loses age bias battle JUST £5.49 A line manager at a factory tried to sue for age discrimination after his older colleagues called him “golden boy”. Salvatore Lorettu, 33, claimed he was “treated like a child” by older co-workers, who didn’t like working under him after he was promoted. The Italian-born factory worker said they told him: “You are just a boy,” “You’re not my boss” and “Shut up, child.” But a tribunal found he didn’t report the comments at the time and only raised them after he was sacked for “belligerent” conduct. Mr Lorettu made his allegations after he was fired from London-based Globe Trotter Suitcases, which makes high-end luggage for brands such as Gucci. He claimed he was subjected to age discrimination after being Panic attacks...Alison By Mark Reynolds promoted to head of kitting in November 2018 at a factory in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. He claimed one colleague repeatedly told him he was “too young” and another told him: ‘They said, You are just a boy, and shut up child’ “Golden boy, you stole my job.” Mr Lorettu later allegedly became furious over pay rise issues and threatened to strike, leading to a bitter dispute. He was then suspended after raising his voice at bosses, and sacked in May 2019 after he By Tom Bryant breached social media policy by posting angry videos online, naming clients including Gucci and Tiffany. He made no mention of discrimination when he was sacked but later made allegations of sex discrimination, disability discrimination on grounds of his autism, and unfair dismissal. The discrimination claims were thrown out at Watford Employment Tribunal Centre as they were presented too late and lacked evidence. Mr Lorettu won his claim of unfair dismissal on a technicality as he was not given an appeal hearing. Judge Manley ruled Mr Lorettu should not be awarded any compensation due to his “belligerent” behaviour. However he was given three weeks pay, £1,191, as a basic award. Alison’s big issue with elephants Alison Hammond was so traumatised by being called an elephant at school she has a panic attack every time she hears the word. This Morning host Alison, 46, said she had “heart palpitations” after seeing an elephant on safari. She had a panic attack too when Queen’s Brian May said “elephant in the room” at an awards event. He was not talking about her. Alison, whose book You’ve Got To Laugh is out now, said: “Whenever I hear ‘elephant’, it takes me back to the nasty comments.” ON 12 CRAFT WINES Plus 2 FREE wine glasses worth £18, & FREE delivery direct to your door!

John “Winky” Watson claimed to be tackling yobs who were running riot in deprived areas, charging residents £13-a-year to keep them safe. His private police led to an appearance on Good Morning Britain when he told host Kate Garraway: “There is a large demand in my community, it is very high in crime.” Watson became a cult figure as people in Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Redcar put their faith in him to patrol their estates. The 41-year-old, who served in Bosnia and Northern Ireland with the Green Howards regiment, featured on Channel 4 documentary Skint Britain, which followed him as he signed up customers to JWS Security in Hartlepool. He said: “These people work long hours and they Patrols...John Watson By Paul Jeeves don’t want some little b****** going up and robbing their belongings.” But Cleveland police’s lengthy Operation Spoonbill into drug dealing across the North-east proved that Watson was part of the problem. The investigation focused on dismantling a gang importing vast quantities of drugs. It has led to 33 people being convicted in separate trials, receiving a combined 262 years in prison. They include Merseyside kingpin Lance Kennedy and Teesside leader Jonathon Moorby, who ran operations from his Thailand base. Prosecutors used phone evidence to link Watson to drug couriers from Merseyside in a month-long trial at Teesside Crown Court. Watson stood trial alongside Steven Beazley, 39, and Craig Costello, 38. They were all convicted by the jury of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs. JWS Security is still trading.

28 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 DX1ST HICKEY TWENTY years since the first Harry Potter movie, its director Chris Columbus points out author JK Rowling, pictured, went to great lengths persuading executives that Daniel Radcliffe should be cast as the boy wizard. Noting industry bosses were unconvinced, Columbus tells Total Film: “She was his biggest fan. She was like, ‘This is exactly how I envisioned Harry’.” Critics suggest Radcliffe, now 32, has proved less than grateful to the woman who made his career: he controversially turned against Rowling last year when the writer found herself targeted by transgender campaigners. LEADING historian Andrew Roberts, promoting his new book on George III, reflects on the unfortunate role gout played in the nation’s fortunes. “George III’s only truly brilliant prime ministers (out of the 14 he appointed) were the two Pitts, both of whom suffered from it terribly, not helped by Dr Addington prescribing them port and no exercise,” Roberts writes in The Spectator. “Had Pitt the Elder taken a course of allopurinol and arcoxia, he would not have had to resign in 1768 and thus wreck the best hope of our keeping the American colonies.” WHAT did William Shatner’s longtime foe and Star Trek shipmate George Takei, also known as Hikaru Sulu, make of him being blasted into space at the age of 90 this week? After years of bad blood between the pair, Takei managed to publicly rein in the ill feeling, cheekily concluding of the Captain Kirk actor: “He’s boldly going where others have gone before!” Probably for the best that the old boys weren’t sent up together.

By Peter Sheridan in Los Angeles HOW CAN one love a genocidal dictator who bombed and starved his own people, who kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered women, supported international terrorism – including the Lockerbie bombing – and sent assassination squads to kill dissidents overseas? Daad Sharab knows the answer. For more than two decades she was Libyan strongman Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s closest confidante and adviser, and was rumoured to be his lover, which she denies. US President Ronald Reagan branded him “the mad dog of the Middle East”, but to Sharab he was a trusted mentor. “I loved him as a friend and a fatherfigure,” says Sharab, “In all those years I heard the rumours, but I never saw him abuse anyone.” Although, now that she thinks about it, there was that time that six women were brought to Gaddafi and paraded before him so he could choose among them. And that time a visiting dignitary’s wife broke down and sobbed, claiming the dictator had raped her. “She was lying,” says Sharab. “Women threw themselves at Gaddafi.” And, of course, even two decades as his “friend” didn’t stop the tyrant she loved turning on Sharab, having her imprisoned – “a virtual death sentence,” she admits. She only escaped in the confusion around a NATO bombing raid that almost killed her. Wednesday marks the 10th anniversary of the day an angry Libyan mob dragged their hated dictator from the storm drain where he was hiding and beat, stabbed and shot him to death. But all these years later, Sharab is keen to defend him. “Gaddafi wasn’t a monster,” she insists. “He was a revolutionary who was widely misunderstood by the West.” Her extraordinary alliance is detailed in her new memoir, The Colonel And I, published on Monday, revealing insights into the corruption, lies and back-stabbing within Gaddafi’s regime. I t’s hard to imagine that she was ignorant of the murderous reputation of the Libyan Colonel who took command of the North African nation in a military coup in 1969. Libya sponsored terrorism worldwide, including the Lockerbie jet bombing that killed 270 people, 43 of them British, supplied Semtex for the IRA’s atrocities in Britain, bombed a Berlin nightclub and was suspected by the CIA of launching a nuclear weapons programme. Sharab first met Gaddafi at an international conference on women’s rights in Libya where, impressed by her aggressive questioning, he offered her a job as his business adviser, investing Libyan millions in Western corporations. “Women were treated like second-class citizens in much of the Gulf, but Gaddafi was willing to have a woman as his business consultant, which says a lot,” she says. “He never looked down on women.” Indeed, the dictator’s elite bodyguard squad were an all-female team of Amazons, famously celibate – except with Gaddafi. “They weren’t allowed to marry, but several of them were Gaddafi’s lovers,” admits divorcée Sharab. “Some people simply assumed that I must be one of Gaddafi’s mistresses, but I never was, and he never Gaddafi a was just made any sexual advances to me. I worked with Gaddafi for 22 years. If I’d been his lover, even if I looked like Brooke Shields, I wouldn’t have lasted more than two years. His lovers came and went, but we remained friends.” She was bowled over by her first meeting with the Libyan strongman. “He was tall and handsome in a flowing robe, charismatic and intelligent, with an aura about him which was almost religious,” she says, recalling the young Colonel as “beyond DOWNFALL: Gaddafi trying to defuse the protests that would lead to his death CLOSE ADVISER: Colonel Gaddafi drapes his arm round trusted aide Daad Sharab, but he turned on her in the end

DX1ST monster? No, he Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 29 Pictures: John McLellan, Eyevine, Reuters misunderstood Ten years after the death of the ‘Mad Dog’ tyrant, his right-hand woman says Libya is worse off without him … and denies she was his lover DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS: Sharab met US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, top, and visited convicted Lockerbie bomber al-Megrahi in a Scottish prison my prison compound for days,” Sharab recalls. “I was terrified. Then one night a bomb hit the compound, and I was buried in rubble. I was only saved by two huge masonry slabs that formed a space over me.” Staggering from the ruins she fled into the streets, afraid for her life. “I didn’t know if Gaddafi’s loyal troops would kill me as an escaping prisoner, or if the revolutionaries would kill me as a former Gaddafi aide.” my wildest dreams.” Sharab travelled the globe investing Libyan money in deals with such dubious figures as UK-based Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and British entrepreneur Tiny Rowland, who had been branded by Prime Minister Edward Heath as “the unacceptable face of capitalism”. But she was also sent on diplomatic missions to comfort Libyan terrorists in foreign jails: she met admitted killers and even convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi at Barlinnie jail in Scotland. “I never doubted his innocence,” says Sharab. “He was framed.” Sharab earned more than $1million a year brokering deals for Gaddafi, but her growing influence over the dictator won her enemies. “Libya’s intelligence service didn’t trust me because I was a Jordanian and too close to Gaddafi,” she explains. “I also discovered that the intelligence service had taken a fortune that Gaddafi intended for the legal defence of Libyans accused of terrorism, and had kept it to line their own pockets. “The intelligence service would have had me killed long ago if Gaddafi hadn’t been protecting me.” In his later years Gaddafi showed signs of mental illness, but Sharab insists: “He was just depressed, and bitter that his Arab revolution against the West had failed.” When he skipped a promised appearance at her brother’s wedding, Sharab snubbed the dictator for six months – “enough time for the intelligence service to poison Gaddafi’s mind against me,” she says. He was notorious for turning on loved ones. “He imprisoned his own sons to try to bring them under control, after their fights in nightclubs, drinking, mistreatment of domestic staff and drug-taking,” she reveals. “For over two decades he treated me like a favourite daughter but then he turned on me.” Sharab was arrested and held in the Tripoli prison compound that previously housed Gaddafi’s sons. For 19 months she languished in a small villa and, though it was hardly a squalid prison cell, she sunk into depression, fearing an executioner’s bullet at any moment. “I was scared,” she admits. “It would be so easy for Gaddafi to just have me disappear.” She miraculously escaped amid the Arab Spring uprising of 2011 as Libyans revolted against Gaddafi’s regime. While he bombed his own people, NATO joined the rebels bidding to oust him. “NATO bombs fell on Tripoli and around A kind-hearted rebel ultimately helped her escape to safety in Tunisia, then return to Jordan where she now works as a business consultant in the Gulf. Days after her escape Gaddafi was fighting for his own life. His convoy was bombed by NATO and in the ensuing firefight he took cover in a villa. When that was shelled, Gaddafi fled to hide in drainage pipes, where he was captured and beaten to death by a mob, finally ending his 42-year reign. “No matter what he’d done to me, I did not want it to end like this,” says Sharab. “I wanted to see Gaddafi put on trial, in a civilised way.” Hanging on the wall of her office in Amman, Jordan, are photos of Sharab with dignitaries she met during her travels for Gaddafi, including President George Bush Senior, Hillary Clinton and former Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres. But pride of place goes to a photo of Sharab alongside Gaddafi. “I didn’t cry when he died,” she says. “But Libya is worse off without him. Gaddafi improved healthcare, education and women’s rights, built roads and kept the streets safe. He brought stability. Now it’s not safe to go out at night there. “I’m not saying he was an angel but he was no devil either. He was just misunderstood.” ●●The Colonel And I: My Life With Gaddafi, by Daad Sharab.

Theatre with NEIL NORMAN HAMLET ★★★ Young Vic until November 13. Tickets: 020 7922 2922 Cush Jumbo’s Hamlet has been hotly anticipated since it was first announced that The Good Wife actress would tackle Shakespeare’s greatest role. The good news is that Jumbo is very good as a shaven-headed, androgynous Hamlet. The bad news is that she is in the wrong production. Director Greg Hersov has little idea what to do with the play or with the characters surrounding the Great Dane. Following Ian McKellen’s riotously all-over-the-place production, this suffers similar problems of woolly concept. It is set in the present day yet has no real sense of place either geographically or politically. The set is a series of peeling mirrored monoliths designed to deliver ghostly reflections of the characters. Norah Lopez Holden is a credibly innocent Ophelia, Joseph Marcell is a wonderfully pedantic Polonius and Jonathan Livingstone an affectingly affable Horatio. But what happened to Adrian Dunbar and Tara Fitzgerald? Fine actors both, their Claudius and Gertrude double act has very little traction on stage. Dunbar seems more like an underhanded bank manager than a scheming Machiavellian character who murders his brother to get his hands on his sister-in-law and the crown of Denmark. Hersov’s staging is flat and listless, leaching the play of high drama and, ultimately, its tragedy. What a pity. THE MIRROR AND THE LIGHT ★★ Gielgud Theatre until January 23. Tickets: 0844 482 5151 Having been thoroughly engrossed in the stage versions of Hilary Mantel’s first two novels about Thomas Cromwell – Wolf Hall Booking now THE GOOD LIFE UK tour until December 4 (thegoodlifeonstage.com) Rufus Hound stars as Tom Good in Jeremy Sams’ stage version of the popular TV sitcom about neighbouring frenemies. ALAS, POOR PRODUCTION But Cush shines as Hamlet and Bring Up The Bodies – I was looking forward to the conclusion of the trilogy. Ben Miles has grown in stature in the lead role, as Cromwell himself grew from a Putney blacksmith’s son to become Henry VIII’s most trusted fixer. But, following the departure of Mike Poulton, the playwright who did such a good job on the first two, Mantel and Miles have written the third play themselves. Big mistake. Fine novelist though she is, Mantel is no playwright, and neither is Miles, fine actor though he is. Doubts set in early when a series of several short scenes trip over each other in a rush to tell an admittedly long and complex story. The play opens with Cromwell imprisoned in the Tower then flashbacks tell how he fell from the King’s favour. Jeremy Herrin’s direction doesn’t help at all. Characters declaim to the audience in barnstorming style rather than addressing each other. LIMPING There is little ALONG Parker sense of and Miles intimacy or closeted peril. Miles and Nathaniel Parker as Henry VIII show their characters’ age with the usual tropes – a limp for Henry, a headful of grey hair for Cromwell – but they are superficial. Nicholas Woodeson plays the Duke of Norfolk as a dangerous, ageing imp and Leo Wan is suitably reptilian as Richard Riche. But comic double takes and cartoonish reactions elsewhere are wholly inappropriate and there are some lamentably uncontrolled performances. And to have the ghost of Cardinal Wolsey (Tony Turner) prancing across the stage as if he’s in some Afterlife discotheque is just plain silly. Someone’s been watching too much Blackadder.

Based on true events, the film recounts the build-up to a duel to DUEL NARRATIVEMatt the death involving Damon and Jodie Comer star Matt Damon’s mulleted knight and Adam Driver’s womanising squire in 14th century France. The story is told from three viewpoints and by three writers (Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Nicole Holofcener). At the centre of the feud is the rape of the knight’s young wife, played by the brilliant Jodie Comer. It can be a grim watch and the film never fully explores issues of memory and testimony raised by the structure. But details of the role of women in feudal France are striking, the final duel is brilliantly staged, and Ben Affleck adds much-needed laughs as a decadent aristocrat. Antisocial media RON’S GONE WRONG Cert PG ★★★★ In cinemas now We have to wait until 2023 to get our paws on the next Paddington movie but, in the meantime, here’s another British-made family charmer. This witty, touching and slyly satirical debut of London-based Locksmith Animation begins with a big tech company launch of new R2-D2-sized companions called B*Bots. When we jump forward a few months, the B*Bot craze is in full swing.

But this time there’s an attempt to boost the predictable action scenes with a hint of comedy as superstar news reporter Eddie Brock (Hardy) falls out with the monstrous “symbiote” he picked up in the first film. As we are reunited with this odd couple, Brock is growing tired of sharing his body with Venom, a shouty alien who grants him superhuman strength. The ravenous creature, whom Hardy voices as an amped-up Brian Blessed, desperately wants them to form seems to need one the most. While his classmates make friends and share videos with their new gadgets, 11-year-old misfit Barney Pudowski (voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer) is facing another lunchtime alone. Barney lives with his widowed dad Graham (Ed Helms) and livewire granny Donka (a hilarious Olivia Colman), a Bulgarian refugee. Barney desperately wants his own AI pal but the best his family can afford is a B*Bot that literally fell off the back of a lorry. Ron (Zach Galifianakis), as Barney names him, can’t download the right software but his cinema’s latest crime-fighting duo. But Brock has enough on his plate. His ex-girlfriend (Michelle Williams) just got engaged, his career is in tatters and the half-eaten corpses strewn around his apartment after the 2018 original have attracted the attention of Stephen Graham’s detective. Then he gets bitten by Woody Harrelson’s serial killer Cletus Kasady during a death row interview. Somehow, this spawns a rival monster called Carnage who shares Cletus’s body and enables his escape. It feels like director Andy Serkis’s heart isn’t really in the obligatory monsters’ showdown. He’s on firmer ground with the knockabout set-up where Brock bickers with Venom. The dialogue could be wittier but the quirkiness of this unusual buddy comedy makes it more diverting than its predecessor. ‘‘ Sadly, the only kid without a robot is the one who seems to need it the most wonky arms, dodgy balance and two-bit facial expressions make him a master of slapstick comedy. As Ron helps Barney fight back against the bullies, the kids fishing for “likes” with online pranks feel like the deprived ones. Writers Sarah Smith (Arthur Christmas) and Peter Baynham (Alan Partridge) mix smart visual gags with timely swipes at social media culture. Punches are pulled in the final act where expensive gadget crazes are acceptable as long as kids are kind. But, like Paddington, this is one of those rare family comedies that tickles creaking and growing bones at the same time.

Sadly, suspense and logic are the most noticeable victims of the second instalment of the rebooted slasher franchise. Picking up from the events of 2018’s Halloween (which pretended the previous sequels didn’t exist), the beleaguered residents of Haddonfield take up makeshift weapons to storm a hospital where they believe the killer is hiding. An angry mob defy pleas for calm from police and from Michael’s nemesis Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis), to chase an entirely innocent stranger. The ringleader is the now grown-up Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall), the cute kid protected by Laurie in John Carpenter’s terrifying 1978 original. As he knows Michael is pretty much indestructible, you wonder what he’s hoping to achieve with that baseball bat. Meanwhile, the killer is once again picking off locals on the suburban estate he grew up in (stake it out!) after escaping the climactic fire in the previous instalment. The body count is gut-wrenchingly high but there’s none of the creeping menace that made Carpenter’s film so effective. The horror maestro not only knew how to craft slow-burning suspense, he also knew how to make us care about the teenagers he was stalking. Here, it’s just stranger after stranger being butchered in predictable ways. Flashbacks to 1978 are well staged with the help of a convincing Donald Pleasence lookalike. But the lead characters have seen plenty of Myers before, so you’d think they know not to linger over his seemingly dead body.

34 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 DX1ST Books Before And Laughter Jimmy Carr Quercus, £20 Could Jimmy Carr change your life? The entertainingly offensive host of 8 Out Of 10 Cats has written a book that is part memoir, part self-help guide (or, as he puts it, “Carr manual”) for people stuck in a rut. He writes You’ve Got To Laugh Alison Hammond Bantam Press, £20 “You’ve got to laugh. I can’t go a day without laughing... If you’re having trouble finding something to laugh about, all you’ve got to do, guys, is fake it until you make it.” Alison Hammond has been cheering up the nation on the small screen for more than two decades. Now, she’s bringing her trademark joie de vivre to her autobiography. Alison was raised in Birmingham by a hardworking single mum and, after she was evicted early from Big Brother in 2002, she could have faded into oblivion. Yet she’s become arguably the most successful contestant of all time with an 18-year stint as a showbiz reporter and presenter on This Morning. Alison charts her journey to stardom, sharing plenty of backstage and red carpet gossip along the way. She gives her own spin on the moments that made her famous, from marrying The Rock to being serenaded by Hugh Jackman. But life hasn’t always been easy and the book details many of the toughest moments in her life – from losing her parents just five months apart, to horrifying racial abuse. She also discusses her lifelong battle with her weight. “My life is not going to stop until I reach a certain weight because I might not ever get there,” she writes. “I would rather die as a gladiator in the arena of life than sit on the sidelines being a spectator… So live your life, people, and don’t worry who’s watching.” There’s plenty to be learned from a woman who approaches most aspects of life with a full-bellied laugh. by ROSIE HOPEGOOD Windswept & Interesting Billy Connolly Two Roads, £25 with Charlotte Heathcote Fired from his first job at 15, Billy Connolly’s family assured him that he’d “never succeed at anything”. Six decades on, the Scottish comedian regularly dubbed “the funniest man alive” has told his life story in his own way. This isn’t a standard autobiography – this is Connolly’s oral history, recorded on his phone then transcribed. It feels like an intimate chat, a mixture of terrific anecdotes and domestic horror stories recalled with painful honesty. Abandoned by his mother, Connolly was physically abused with the authority of somebody who successfully transformed his own life. Aged 25, he had a well-paid but unfulfilling job working in marketing for an oil company. But he reassessed his priorities, took redundancy, and chewed up his savings as he put in the hours grafting in dingy comedy clubs. Carr writes very movingly about his relationship with his mother, and how her death prompted him to reassess his life and change careers. He’s highly entertaining on his unlikely friendship with Stephen Hawking, whom he met at an awards ceremony, and on how it feels to watch the Prime Minister describe your tax arrangements as “morally wrong” on television. He is a good memoirist so it’s a shame that the bulk of the book To order any of these books, please call the Express Bookshop on 020 3176 3832. Free UK p&p for orders over £20. by an aunt and later sexually abused by his father. We meet sadistic nuns and psychopathic teachers. One sentence begins: “Apart from being battered mercilessly, I rather liked St Peter’s” – and that was his infant school. At home, his only protector was his sister Florence, just 18 months older, who bathed, fed and dressed him. Always funny, Connolly’s comedy flourished in the Glasgow shipyards where he worked as a welder, and on the Scottish folk scene. Because this is a conversation, he veers off in many directions, all of them interesting. We learn that he loves motorcycling, pizza, drawing, Australia, Florida Now where should I Big Yin? is devoted to impersonal life lessons learned from being a comedian, fleshed out with the parables and inspirational quotes of the self-help genre, though the book is peppered with jokes. There is wisdom here as well as insight into Carr as a person. But he hasn’t applied quite the same rigorous quality control as he does to his stand-up sets. By JAKE KERRIDGE (where he now lives), banjos, public nudity (his own) and naked bungee jumping. His dislikes extend from musicals to racism via mobile phones, political correctness, clowns, holidays and wholemeal bread. Billy talks about his complicated relationship with Catholicism, being heckled by evangelists, his deafness and his health –“I’ve got Parkinson’s disease, and I wish he’d ****ing kept it to himself ”. He also tells funny or astonishing tales involving Gerry Rafferty, Led Zeppelin and Rod Stewart. Billy Connolly’s story has been told before, but never by him and never this well. by GARRY BUSHELL Get in touch! www.express.co.uk/books Three of the best… autumn cookbooks Nadiya’s Fast Flavours Nadiya Hussain Michael Joseph, £22 Nadiya’s new book is themed around flavours so you’ll find a salsa verde side of salmon in Herby, masala buns in Spicy, apple and Wensleydale pie in Cheesy and, in Zesty, sweet and sour prawns. There’s an abundance of refreshingly original ideas here plus fun and creative desserts such as chocolate salami. And her recipes are simple or suggest shortcuts, so they’re achievable for us all. Together Jamie Oliver Michael Joseph, £26 The isolation of lockdown inspired Jamie’s cookbook, aimed at bringing loved ones together. He’s full of ideas for get-togethers, from brunch and picnics to steak night and a roast. And best of all, you can do the bulk of the work in advance. There are also bright ideas for nibbles, starters, sides, desserts and cocktails. Hosting friends and family has never been so easy. At Mama’s Table Rochelle Humes Vermilion, £20 Singer and presenter Rochelle shares family favourites in recipes using no more than 10 ingredients chosen with nutrition in mind. Ranging from veggie lasagne and mini toad in the hole to homemade chicken nuggets, these are solid basics for busy parents. There are also tips for saving time and money plus the more flavoursome recipes feature simple tweaks for children and babies. by CHARLOTTE HEATHCOTE Podcasts The Proper Class Podcast Actor Laura Checkley says she often felt out of place as a working-class woman in the world of theatre – until she met director Hannah Chissick who, like her, had a working-class upbringing. The pair became friends and often chat about their roots. In this new series, they talk to other workingclass celebrities about their background and how they got to where they are today. In the first episode, Romesh Ranganathan talks about winning a BAFTA and how anxiety about feeling like an impostor in TV and comedy is the driving force behind his hard work. with ELIZABETH ARCHER Fear Itself Cressida Bonas, actor and Prince Harry’s former flame, explores what the universal emotion of fear means to her guests. In the first two series, Cressida heard from Corporal Andy Reid, who was blown up by an explosive device while serving in Afghanistan; celebrities such as Jamie Laing, who suffers severe panic attacks; and mental health activist and author Matt Haig. Now, hear about Sir Richard Branson’s perilous attempt to cross the Atlantic in a hot air balloon, only to crash into the North Sea and find his experienced balloonist companion had abandoned him and jumped into the water. My Favourite Takeaway Comedian and takeaway fanatic Tom Craine and fellow foodie and TV producer Cimran Shah visit the homes of their celebrity guests to share their favourite convenience food, with a generous dollop of amusing anecdotes on the side. Like when Comedian Ellie Taylor, for example, confesses she once rummaged through the bin to find out whether her partner had left any of his takeaway uneaten. In each episode, the pair eat their guests’ favourite takeaway as their guest would, slumped in front of the TV or using their best bone china. Guests include Josh Widdicombe and Ed Gamble. Allen Stanford – The Man Who Bought Cricket In a new series of Sport’s Strangest Crimes, BBC Radio 1 broadcaster Greg James investigates the bizarre story of Texan billionaire banker Allen Stanford who arrived at Lord’s in 2008 with a perspex box filled with $20million in cash and a plan to revolutionise cricket. Stanford devised a tournament with the England and Wales Cricket Board where players could receive $1million for a single catch or run. But it transpired that he was a fraudster running a Ponzi scheme, under investigation by the FBI, and was linked to money laundering and a Mexican cocaine cartel.

DX1ST Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 35 Music with GARRY BUSHeLL BOOK OFFERS Album releases A world of their own CELEBRATING THE SEASONS WITH THE YORKSHIRE SHEPHERDESS : FARMING, FAMILY AND DELICIOUS RECIPES TO SHARE BY AMANDA OWEN PUBLISHED BY PAN MACMILLAN HARDBACK The stunning new book from Amanda Owen - shepherdess, wife, mother of nine children and star of Our Yorkshire Farm. Bringing her world to life in glorious colour, the book features charming new stories of life on the farm, gorgeous photographs and favourite family recipes, from wild garlic lamb with hasselback roast potatoes to rhubarb and custard crumble cake and Yorkshire curd tart. As inspirational as Amanda herself, this book is a beautiful keepsake that will delight her fans. £20.00 HARDBACK Coldplay Music Of The Spheres Whatever these boys release is guaranteed to sell faster than petrol in a South London garage and deservedly so. The stand-out track, Coloratura, is superb, a sprawling orchestral epic that begins with ethereal piano and continues for more than 10 atmospheric minutes. It’s an achingly beautiful hymn to the afterlife, the great beyond. “We fell in through the clouds and everyone before us is there welcoming us now,” sings Chris Martin. It’s not quite Pink Floyd but it’s tailor-made for festival crowds with a sea of smartphone torches. “In the end it’s all about the love you’re sending out,” Martin adds, channelling George Harrison. Other absolute belters include the anthemic People Of The Pride which begins with a keyboard fanfare before building into a simple but addictive glam rock riff. If Marc Bolan had lived into the synthesiser era, he’d have sounded like this. He’d have dug the defiant lyrics too as Chris Martin declares “We’re no longer going to fight for some old crook and all his crimes…” Humankind is stirring and ebullient, sweeping you along to a chorus that explodes like one of Gwyneth’s candles, while Let Somebody Go is a tender break-up ballad featuring Selena Gomez. Martin sings, “When I called the mathematicians and asked them to explain/they say love is only equal to the pain.” The more straightforward pop songs are less impressive. Biutyful is syrupy cod-soul. My Universe, a collaboration with BTS, sounds like K-Pop Daft Punk with the familiar message, “We are all one in the universe”. Chris tempts reviewers on Higher Power, a song redolent of Genesis at their most easy listening. “I’m like a broken record,” he declares. Brace yourself for the punchline. TALES FROM THE FARM BY THE YORKSHIRE SHEPHERDESS BY AMANDA OWEN PUBLISHED BY PAN MACMILLAN HARDBACK The Yorkshire Shepherdess takes readers on an evocative journey to Ravenseat, where she lives with husband Clive and their nine children, not to mention their flock of sheep, herd of cows, hardworking dogs and a formidable chicken called Linda. As Covid sends the country into lockdown, Amanda feels more lucky than ever to live close to nature, finding happiness in the beauty of the Dales and the unchanging routines of the farming year. This is a lovely gift book, illustrated with charming line-drawings throughout. ADVENTURES OF THE YORKSHIRE SHEPHERDESS BY AMANDA OWEN PUBLISHED BY PAN MACMILLAN PAPERBACK Funny, evocative and set in a remote and beautiful landscape, this book will delight anyone who has hankered after a new life in the country. Amanda takes us from her family’s desperate race to save a missing calf to finding her bra has been repurposed as a house martin’s nest, and from wild swimming to the brutal winter that almost brought her to her knees. As busy as she is with her family and flock though, an exciting new project soon catches her eye... £12.99 HARDBACK £8.99 PAPERBACK Kelly Clarkson When Christmas Comes Around Christmas? Already? This is the mega-selling pop star’s second festive song collection. Texan Kelly lends her sweet, soulful falsetto to a mix of covers including Jingle Bell Rock and Last Christmas, and tuneful originals such as the upbeat post-break up knees-up Christmas Isn’t Cancelled (Just You). Expect an Easter LP in January. The Charlatans A Head Full Of Ideas The sound of Madchester via the West Midlands. With their Hammond organ and 60s R&B influences, the Charlatans flourished in the trippy 90s. Copious substance abuse didn’t dent their ability to write hits, from The Only One I Know onwards. There are 21 of their greatest baggy grooves here, including Weirdo and How High. Eva Cassidy Live At Blues Alley What a singer, what a talent, what a loss. Britain took to American Eva’s sweet soprano voice, perfect pitch and inspired phrasing before US audiences did. In 1996, she cashed in a pension to fund this superb album of choice standards. Jazz, folk, country – perfectionist Eva did the lot. Dead at 33, she lives on in her recordings. A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF THE YORKSHIRE SHEPHERDESS BY AMANDA OWEN PUBLISHED BY PAN MACMILLAN PAPERBACK Amanda takes us into her life as nine-year-old Miles gets his first flock, Reuben takes up the flugelhorn and she gives birth to a new baby girl. She is touched by the epic two-day journey of a mother sheep determined to find her lamb and gives a new home to an ageing and neglected horse. Writing with Amanda’s trademark warmth and humour, this book is the perfect comfort read, and the chance to discover the delight of the Dales.

DX1ST televisionexpress Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 37 Susan’s view to a thrill HAVE you ever seen that clip of fearless Blue Peter presenter John Noakes scaling Nelson’s Column, back in the days before they invented health, safety and the laws of gravity? If your memory doesn’t stretch back quite that far (it was 1977) you can find the footage in the BBC archive bit on YouTube. But a word of warning. If, like me, you have absolutely no head for heights, to the point where even watching this kind of thing gives you the willies, you’re likely to find it extremely uncomfortable viewing. In fact, personally I’d go Picks of the day Film: Dirty Harry, C5, 10pm San Francisco cop “Dirty” Harry Callahan, played by the legendary Clint Eastwood (above), is assigned the case of a psychopath who has murdered a young girl and threatened further murders if his ransom demand is not met in time. Dismayed to find himself partnered with a new recruit, Callahan is soon at odds with his bosses over whether to pay off the killer. This 1971 action thriller is the first in the five-part film series. Mike Ward previews tonight’s TV so far as to say it’s one of the maddest, most terrifying things that I’ve ever seen, with the obvious exception of the 2019 Labour manifesto. The reason I’m mentioning it now is because there’s a scene in tonight’s episode of SUSAN CALMAN’S GRAND DAYS OUT (C5, 9pm) which has a not entirely Documentary: Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story, BBC2, 9pm A journey through the trailblazing life of Jackie Collins (left). Spinning together fact and fiction, it tells the untold story of a groundbreaking author and her mission to build a one-woman literary empire. Narrated by a cast of Jackie’s closest friends and family, the film reveals the private struggles of a woman who became an icon of 1980s feminism while managing to hide her personal vulnerability behind a carefully crafted public persona. dissimilar effect on me. Susan and her campervan are back in Cornwall, for a leisurely pootle along the coast, or along some of it, but in the gap between series one and series two of this programme she seems to have developed a Noakes-like fearlessness of her own, at least up to a point. “There’s no such thing as ‘I can’t do it’!” she’s now insisting, presumably emboldened by the fact that she got through the first bunch of episodes of this series relatively unscathed. Susan’s first port of call is the port (yes, funnily enough) of Charlestown, on Cornwall’s south Fundraiser: Stand Up To Cancer 2021, C4, 7.30pm Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Adam Hills (left) and Alan Carr host a star-studded evening of entertainment to raise funds for vital cancer research, with Joe Lycett cajoling the audience all night via his high-tech hub with help from his band of celebrity reporters. Over the course of the night, the initiative is supported by stars including Olivia Colman, Usain Bolt, Jack Black, Tom Jones, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, James Blunt, Kate Beckinsale and Steve Coogan. Friends and family members compete in challenges, and famous faces throw themselves into ridiculous stunts, all to illustrate the impressive science behind SU2C’s goal of ending cancer. Transport: Walking Britain’s Lost Railways, C5, 8pm New series. Presenter Rob Bell (above) is in Yorkshire on the trail of a man once known as the “Railway King”. George Hudson rose from farming origins to become Lord Mayor of York and the greatest railway builder of all, until he went bankrupt and lived abroad to avoid arrest. Rob starts in York, which Hudson almost single-handedly turned into a railway city – now home to the famous National Railway Museum. Music: Paul Simon – Live In Central Park 1991, Sky Arts, 8pm The singer’s free concert in New York City 30 years ago, when he performed tracks from his albums Graceland and Rhythm Of The Saints as well as older material from the Simon and Garfunkel era, including classic tracks such as The Sound Of Silence, Bridge Over Troubled Water and The Boxer. Actor Chevy Chase made a guest appearance at the concert, as Simon (right) sang You Can Call Me Al. Chase stole the show in the video for this 1986 hit. coast, famously featured in BBC1’s Poldark (both the original series and the remake) as well as oodles of feature films. There she meets a chap called Alex, who is the first mate of a lovely old 1930s schooner with a scarily tall mast. And yes, you’ve guessed it, the scarily tall mast is something the newly fearless Susan decides she should climb to the top of. “I’ve promised myself,” she tells him, “that I’ll do things I would never think I could do. Is there anything I could do up there?” “Oh, yes, absolutely,” I’d be telling her if I were this Alex chap. “What you could do up there is fall off. Are you out of your mind?” But Alex says nothing of the sort. On the contrary, he’s more than happy to let her go ahead. His advice to her is simply to climb it “as you would a ladder”. Susan has always struck me as more of a “wouldn’t climb a ladder for all the tea in China” kind of person, but it seems I’ve underestimated her. Slowly, steadily, boldly she begins her ascent. Will she make it all the way to the top, more than 30ft up? “The views,” promises Alex, who’s waiting for her up there, “are worth it.” Bet they’re not. DID YOU KNOW? The late author and actress Jackie Collins sold more than 500 million copies of her books. Her first novel, The World Is Full Of Married Men, was banned in Australia and South Africa.

Try adding the Oddfellows to your day, and enjoy your new life on your terms. Media ref 1964 “You can do as much or as little as you want.” Trish, Mid-Staffordshire member Retired? Missing work mates? Make some walk mates. Adventurous, active and social, Mid-Staffordshire couple Trish Viner and Bev Marchant have always enjoyed their retirement. But keen to keep their routine interesting and varied, the pair made a decision to give their local Oddfellows friendship group a go – and never looked back! Trish and Bev, who both turn 71 this year, first heard of the friendship society three years ago when they met a couple of members on holiday. After spending the week with their new pals, they decided to hunt out their nearest Oddfellows Branch, and were thrilled when they found a local group in Stafford. Trish explained: “We weren’t short of friends, and we are kept busy with my daughter and grandchildren, but I just thought the Oddfellows sounded like a nice place to be. “We went along to our first meeting and enjoyed it straight away. There are many opportunities to socialise and try new activities. You can do as little or as much as you want, so there’s no pressure, but the opportunities are there.” For more than two centuries, the Oddfellows, one of the UK’s largest friendly societies, has offered friendship and support. With 41,500 members across 115 branches, it’s a non-profit mutual (membership from £25 per year) run by members, for members. Despite social restrictions, Oddfellows branches are still running regular online activities and Covid-19 Secure meet-ups for their members to keep active and in touch with each other. There are group holidays in addition to supportive benefits which include care and welfare advice, special member discounts* and access to its historical archives. Trish added: “We are so happy to have found the Oddfellows. It’s not just about going and having fun, it’s a way we can give something back. “The Oddfellows brings you together with people you might not otherwise have met, who do need that extra bit of support or companionship. “It’s very rewarding to be part of something that you can see is doing some good. It’s uplifting.” INFORMATION: To learn more INFORMATION: To learn more INFORMATION: To learn more INFORMATION: To learn more INFORMATION: To learn more INFORMATION: To learn more INFORMATION: To learn

42 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 expressuk property By Deborah Stone Everybody needs good neighbours, even the Queen, so the Royal Family will be watching with interest to see who snaps up the historic Abergeldie Estate next to their beloved Balmoral. The 11,512 acres and 34 properties at Abergeldie are for sale for the first time since King James III of Scotland gave them to the Gordon family in 1482. That’s 539 years ago and it’s unlikely the land has ever been for sale in the way we would know it, although Queen Victoria’s husband Prince Albert bought part of the estate in 1848 to create Birkhall – now home to Prince Charles. The Royal Family has been leasing sporting rights on Abergeldie since 1848, too, but whoever buys the £23million estate will have those salmon fishing rights on the River Dee and shooting rights on the land. Although Abergeldie Castle is not for sale, the estate includes 2,683 acres of woodland and thousands of acres zoned for grantsupported woodland creation schemes. Newly planted woodland and peatland restoration are more income-generating carbon capture possibilities. The 600-plus acres of farmland focuses on livestock. Included in the sale are 34 properties ranging from cottages, farmhouses and lodges to other domestic buildings. And with the estate’s position at the heart of the UK’s largest national park – Cairngorms National Park – a mix of buyers have already registered their interest. “The property market in Royal Deeside is characterised by consistently high demand, with strong interest from buyers competing for properties as soon as they NATURAL BEAUTY: Scotland’s Abergeldie Estate, next to the Royal Family’s Balmoral DX1ST To advertise in this section 020 7098 2894 class.property@express.co.uk Live like true royalty Holiday Homes/TimesHare Holiday Homes For Sale West Wittering, W Sussex Tranquil, well run park - no clubhouse, no letting; open 365 days a year (but not residential); privately owned; just 300 yards to sandy beaches and array of village shops; homes have fenced garden with large metal shed; verandas available; parking next to home; un-used and pre-owned holiday homes for sale MOVE IN WITH JUST 20% DEPOSIT 0% INTEREST (terms apply) Call for details 01243 672 185 scottsholidayvillage.co.uk become available,” says a spokesman for the selling agent Fraser & Mulligan. The estate is being sold privately through the Gordon family (abergeldieestate.com) and will not be split up but if investing in one of the largest estates in Scotland to ever go on sale is not for you, Aberdeenshire’s housing market holds other possibilities. While the Abergeldie Estate is 45 miles from Aberdeen and its international airport, CALA Homes has a new development on the outskirts of the Granite City, which claims to be the oil capital of Europe and is vying to become a world leader in renewable energy. Aberdeen is Scotland’s third biggest city and is enjoying a modest house price recovery after a steep decline following the 2014 oil price crash. CALA’s new Southbank development, 3.5 miles from the city centre, offers townhouses with flexible space for a home office or gym in larger properties. It is set beside woodlands on the banks of the River Don with three, four and five-bedroom family homes plus apartments with one or two bedrooms. Three-storey, four-bedroom houses start from £329,000 (01224 042759; cala.co.uk) and have a garage and utility room on the ground floor as well as a bedroom that can be used as an office, playroom or lounge. An open-plan kitchen, dining and family area is on the first floor, with French doors leading to a private terraced area, while the second floor has three bedrooms with one ensuite and a family bathroom. “Our show home helps to illustrate what a fantastic option townhouses can be,” says CALA Homes (North) sales and marketing director Fraser Carr. Southbank may not have the history of the Abergeldie Estate but Aberdeen has its fair share of historic buildings, from the Tolbooth Museum and Art Gallery to the Maritime Museum in a 16th century house a short walk from the harbour. And if you’re interested in Abergeldie’s history, Aberdeen has the Gordon Highlanders Museum telling the story of the two British Army regiments with their roots in Clan Gordon. REGAL: Homes at CALA’s Southbank development in Aberdeen are effortlessly classy

Calvin and hobbEs Bill Watterson DX1ST Russell Grant Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 45 Britain’s celebrity astrologer Dilbert Scott Adams Faith, hope and sue Lisa Wild Rupert AND THE secret boat No 42 The man waits at the water’s edge, To pull them to a rocky ledge. “Hi Gregory, look where we are!” shouts Rupert. At Rupert’s shout Gregory peers at the skyline. “We’re back where we started!” he exclaims joyfully. The professor’s servant is waiting with the boat-hook, though to their surprise he does not use it. As the boat slides beside the shore Rupert steadies it into a creek by gripping a rock, and by the time they have scrambled out of it, the strong little man has turned and run away as fast as he can. © Express Newspapers 2021 Baked apples in pastry To order the New Rupert Bear Soft Toy (30cm - Rainbow Designs) at £14.99 please call 01872 562315: or order on www.classicrupertbearshop.com. UK P & P £4.95 Instead, he takes one frightened look, Then runs away and leaves his hook. Baked apples are an old-fashioned family standby for pudding but this pastryclad version is something special, particularly served with home-made custard or whipped cream. Serves 4. INGREDIENTS Method 1) Preheat the oven to 220C / 225g ready-made shortcrust pastry Gas 7. 2) Roll out the pastry on a floured surface and cut out 4 small cooking apples, peeled and cored four circles using a large saucer or small plate as a but not sliced guide to the shape and size. 3) Place one apple in the 25g sultanas centre of each piece of pastry. 4) Mix together the other ingredients and place a 25g light soft brown sugar quarter of the mixture in the centre of each apple. 25g butter 5) Cover the apples completely in pastry, turn 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon them over to seal and place onto a baking sheet. Milk or beaten egg to glaze pastry 6) Brush the top of the pastry with egg or milk and bake for 25 minutes. Caster sugar to decorate 7) Sprinkle with caster sugar as they come out of the oven. ALAN’S TIP OF THE DAY: Check rock plants. Remove weeds, slugs or snails, dead or overcrowded or overgrown plants. Then top up the surface dressing of stone chippings and tuck a handful around the collars of any low, rosette-forming plants to reduce the risk of rot. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 Fight the temptation to do everything on your own for it will be a joint effort that will bring you most rewards. Although you like to be independent and to learn from your own mistakes, there’s also a lot to learn from working with another. 0905 789 3701 ** Libra Sep 24 – Oct 23 Someone feels they have been wronged. Another person is out for revenge. It will be a challenge but it is possible to bring balance to a troubled situation. If you step in and intervene, you might get everyone to work together. 0905 789 3707 ** Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 22 A new partner or friend wants to know more about you. You’re reluctant to reveal too much. Your trust has to be earned. Even so those brick walls you have erected could be preventing someone who cares from getting close. 0905 789 3702 ** 0905 789 3708 ** Gemini May 22 – June 21 Sagittarius Nov 23 – Dec 21 It’s not going to be easy to fulfil a task or obligation when you lack the skills or experience needed to bring this about. You want to be successful and this is possible if you are willing to follow someone else’s lead. It will be fun too. 0905 789 3703 ** 0905 789 3709 ** Cancer June 22 – July 23 Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20 Change can be positive. A relocation or job move will be rewarding. At last you are breaking out of a habit you have lapsed into of expecting the worst. With the help of someone who knows you well, you are starting to believe in yourself. 0905 789 3704 ** 0905 789 3710 ** Leo July 24 – Aug 23 Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19 The same problems keep cropping up in the workplace. It is becoming obvious you aren’t approaching these in the right way and in order to deal with this once and for all you may have to ask for the help of someone in authority. 0905 789 3705 ** 0905 789 3711 ** Virgo Aug 24 – Sep 23 Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20 Sharing your ideas could lead to you and your colleagues or teammates finding ways to make boring tasks more interesting. It can be surprising how creative thoughts can combine to enhance jobs that were starting to grow boring. 0905 789 3706 ** 0905 789 3712 ** You’re disappointed in someone who had promised to give you financial advice. They may have decided to move on before fulfilling their obligations. Getting annoyed won’t help but by remaining calm you will see there are other options. It doesn’t matter how close someone is to you, they need to realise you have needs. An older relative’s demands are taking up a lot of your valuable time. One solution to this problem is to move beyond your current situation. The only thing now holding you back is a relative who is insisting on sticking to family structures and traditions. Sometimes you have to push past obstacles and do what’s right for you. As it is, your ideas will win respect from others. You are starting to realise you have outgrown a relationship. You are ready to branch out. But a partner wants to stay put. You are about to make a decision that will have long-term consequences and you know this is going to cause upset. There are new opportunities on the way. A project or arrangement is coming to an end and because you have put a lot of time, effort and money into this, now it is almost over you aren’t sure what you are going to do with yourself. **Calls cost 80p per minute plus your telephone company’s network access charge – maximum of five minutes duration.

DX1ST Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 47 Letters Put patients first after horrors of the pandemic let’s hope the £250million for face-to-face appointments to see doctors and other services is not wasted like the previous money. When Labour was in power it gave a large amount to GPs to improve patient experiences and it was wasted. Come on doctors, a small reduction in your wages and increase your working hours. David Harland, Durham Better system should be in place based on priority GP surgeries are overwhelmed by patients, lots of whom could be dealt with by phone. If that was done and people used pharmacies more for minor problems then those who are more ill could see a GP quicker. Surely a points system could be used and a list of problems that need a doctor’s urgent attention could enable everyone to be happy with the health service. Anyone elderly with heart, lung or other serious conditions must be the main priority. Howard Williams, Swansea Consistent approach will be good for all our health I understand the Government will be providing extra cash to improve GP contact with patients. Friends tell me that their surgery resumed face-to-face contact several months ago while our nearby surgery has just started to do this. There seems to be no consistency within the same area, let alone within the country. Peter Rattenbury, Wombourne, Staffs Shatner’s space mission is simply out of this world William Shatner, aka Captain Kirk, has proved that older people have real mettle (“To boldly go where no 90-year-old man has gone before....”, October 14). The older person can stand up to g-forces better than someone younger. A few minutes in space has shown him how far man has advanced and I wish to meet ET sooner rather than later. Can’t wait. Michael Hilder, Weymouth, Dorset Day of thanks to this loyal consort is a brilliant idea A national thanksgiving service for Prince Philip? What a great idea (“Royals could reunite to give thanks for Prince Philip’s life”, October 13). He was at the Queen’s side for 70 years and it will be a fitting tribute to him. Walking stick or not, the Queen deserves to hold such an event, after the problems others have caused in her family. Richard Sherrell, Towcester, Northants Right royal rumpus over green advice to the public All the British public require of the Royal Family is for them to look The Daily Express, One Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5AP Email: expressletters@express.co.uk (include your full name, address and telephone number) Picture: GETTY Letter of the day VITAL: Patients should be given face-to-face appointments half-way intelligent, to shake a few hands and occasionally give a jolly wave to us peasants out of their fancy cars. For Prince William to pontificate on saving the environment while owning several palaces and being driven around in gas guzzlers is frankly hypocritical (“William: We’re robbing our children’s futures”, October 14). Why do they think that being born in the bed they were gives them any more knowledge on the environment than anyone else? Christopher Greenwell, Darlington, Co Durham Name protesters making people’s lives a misery with reference to the Insulate Britain protesters who are breaking the law by being on our motorways and roads thus stopping people from carrying out their daily routines (“Never mess with a school run mum!”, October 14), why not photograph them and then take them to court for people’s loss of earnings etc? After being named, shamed and fined a few times, I would think the problem would be resolved pretty quickly. Dave Jones, Bracknell, Berks Priti obvious it’s time to go amid road blockage hell Yet another day of road blockages by the Insulate Britain idiots. It’s now obvious that Priti Patel’s threats and injunctions are Priti ineffective and unless urgent action is taken soon, these blockages will continue. Priti’s words are hot air and I’m sure it’s time she resigned. Bill Biggins, Cawood, N Yorks Hose down anarchists with no respect for rule of law These anarchists need a good watering down with a high pressure water cannon before they are dragged off and sent to prison. William Footes, Birmingham Rhodes was a positive force in people’s lives too Can I enquire from where the Oxford city councillor Shaista Aziz obtained her facts from regarding Cecil John Rhodes (“Row over plaque for Rhodes”, October 13)? Whatever his faults, Rhodes was never a slave owner, dealer or trader. He obtained mineral rights to land that contained both diamonds and gold. It was this ● facebook.com /dailyexpress ● twitter: @daily_express Tories need to show guts on big issues I voted for a Conservative government to not capitulate when problems arise by giving money to solve issues because they haven’t got the guts to demand action (“Javid aims to ensure everyone can see a GP”, October 14). GPs being given £250million to do what they should be doing anyway with face-toface consultations instead of using locums, shows a government frightened of its power. This government creeps to the French and gives millions to stop migration instead of demanding it, and police/courts are going soft on protesters who block roads. When the PM returns from his holiday he needs to get a grip. This government is not the government that I helped to put in power. Warren Browning, Rugby, Warks wheeling and dealing that led to his wealth, not any truck with slavery. Many scholars have benefited from his generosity including a future US President and many others of all colours and creeds. People should check facts, before jumping on the bandwagon. Geoff Cooke, Gravesend, Kent By eck! British Airways will be off to a flier soon As British Airways is finding it hard to know the correct way to greet its passengers, one way might be to go regional (“BA priorities are plane daft”, October 13). Northern airports could say “Ey up folks” while Heathrow could go “Wotcha”. John Hearn, Rainham, Kent We liked you more When We Were Young, Adele While never being a fan of Adele, I admire her talent (“Adele says album out in 5 weeks”, October 14). However the claptrap she is using to sell her latest offering, 30, is pathetic. Claiming her new album is a “friend who came over with a bottle of wine and a takeaway” is nauseating rubbish. Liz Armstrong, Bridlington, E Yorks IS IT MAD TO BE TALKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN OCTOBER? Yes No I CAN’T quite believe people in this country are already talking about Christmas sales and shopping (“Early Christmas sales to avoid last-minute surge”, October 14). What on earth is the matter with us these days? Once upon a time the run-up to Christmas started in the middle of December and was a joyous occasion mostly to do with religion. Now it’s a free-for-all governed by money, greed and selfishness. As for shortages on our shelves? I’m sure it will all work out OK, so why the hysteria? Ann Jones, Dover, Kent WHILE it might seem crazy to be discussing the festive season, I can see why some people make a big fuss of it and want to start shopping early. For people who are on tight budgets or fixed incomes, spreading the cost of Christmas is vital if they want everything they need. This might involve joining a Christmas hamper club in January or February for all I know. On a personal level I love Christmas and quite enjoy all the palaver that goes with it, so why not start early and make it last longer? Mark Lewis, Exeter TODAY: Friday October 15, 2021 On this day 108 years ago (1913) We told how the “terrific explosion” at the Senghenydd colliery, near Caerphilly, South Wales, could be heard 10 miles away in Cardiff. The blast and resulting fires killed 439 miners, making it the worst pit disaster in British history. The explosion was thought to be caused by a spark from underground signalling equipment igniting highly flammable methane and hydrogen gas present in the coal seams. 52 years ago (1969) An estimated two million Americans took part in peace protests against the Vietnam War in what was known as the Vietnam Moratorium. Protesters wore black armbands to honour the 45,000 American troops who had been killed in the conflict to date. 31 years ago (1990) Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in helping to bring about the end of the Cold War and introducing new political freedoms. At home, Gorbachev had been criticised for aiding the collapse of the former USSR and the declining influence of Russia. Birthdays Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is 32. His net worth is around £115million. The Wire star Dominic West is 52. He spent four months as a cattle herder. Lady In Red singer Chris De Burgh is 73. He’s sold more than 45 million albums. The Jacksons’ guitarist Tito is 68. He is now a blues musician. TODAY’S GIGGLE Most people are shocked when they find out how bad I am as an electrician.

Group finance director Paul Venables said that due to the intense competition for skilled workers, the white-collar recruiter had seen candidates in some sectors offered pay increases of up to 20 per cent to switch jobs. He said: “Employers have been caught out by the speed and the acceleration in the economic recovery, and it has been much stronger than expected. “There’s a shortage of people, so they are having to pay out more than they would have done pre-pandemic.” September was Hays’ best month since the pandemic started, helping its first quarter fees grow 36 per cent compared with the same three-month period last year. It said that a 58 per cent surge in permanent fees drove its growth, while income from placing temporary roles rose 22 per cent. Hays saw a 44 per cent increase in fees from its British arm during the quarter, driven by “excellent growth” of 69 per By Geoff Ho cent in permanent fees. Temp income was up 29 per cent. Fees from private sector employers rose 57 per cent, while the public sector grew by 21 per cent. While most regions saw fee growth in line with the overall UK business, Hays said the North-west and the Midlands experienced the strongest growth, up 74 per cent and 51 per cent respectively. London grew by 46 per cent. The UK and Ireland was Hays’ best performing region, with net fees up 44 per cent. The United States, South America, Asia and Europe saw growth of 37 per cent. Germany was up 31 per cent, while income from Australia and New Zealand was up 29 per cent. Neil Shah, director of research at analysts Edison Group, said: “Set against the context of UK job vacancies reaching a 20-year high, the group looks to be in prime position to thrive. “However, the outlook for the sector retains an element of uncertainty due to a potentially disruptive combination of labour shortages, inflation and the end of the furlough scheme.” Grosvenor casinos strike it lucky Mecca Bingo owner Rank says that first quarter revenues at its Grosvenor casinos are up 209 per cent to £79.2 million.

DX1ST 50 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 Racing Bee to get O’Brien treble off to a flier FERGAL O’BRIEN can continue his dominance as the season’s leading jump trainer by landing a treble at Uttoxeter. ASK A HONEY BEE (2.30, nap) has the talent to set the ball rolling for the in-form Cotswold-based trainer by making a winning debut over fences. This smart hurdler always looked destined to become better as a chaser. O’Brien, above, has found an ideal opportunity for the progressive JARVEYS PLATE (3.05,nb) to keep ahead of the By The Scout handicapper. He is up only 4lb for his success over Big Bad Bear at Worcester in June. Also, his cause will be helped by the capable 5lb claimer Liam Harrison taking the ride. The hat-trick seeking NO NO MAESTRO (3.40, treble) can complete a successful day for O’Brien by landing the May And Jacobs Chase. He remains on a favourable mark, up just 2lb for beating Animore at Hexham in August.

GET ALL THE BREAKING SPORTS NEWS ONLINE express.co.uk/sport clash of the titans Adayar given green light for Mishriff showdown DERBY winner Adayar is set for a mouth-watering rematch with Mishriff in tomorrow’s Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot. The pair last locked horns when Adayar come out on top in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July over a mile and a half. Adayar went on to finish fourth in the Arc de Triomphe a fortnight ago, also over 12 furlongs. But after pleasing his trainer By Chris Goulding Charlie Appleby in a gallop yesterday, Adayar was given the thumbs up to go down in trip two furlongs for tomorrow’s contest. “Mishriff dominated the Juddmonte International at York, over the distance of Saturday’s race,” said Appleby. “But we are happy to meet him over the mile and a quarter.” Adayar is second favourite with 1.15 Suanni 1.45 Sky Blue Pink 2.20 Bergerac 2.55 Mythical Dancer THE SCOUT Coral at 7-4, with Mishriff topping the betting at 6-4. Victory for Adayar, right, could be a crucial winner for William Buick, who is chasing Oisin Murphy for the jockeys’ title. Stradivarius was also given the go-ahead for another showdown with Trueshan in the Long- Distance Cup. The pair last met at Longchamp, where Trueshan proved the master, and the latter is the 11-8 favourite tomorrow. 3.30 Magisterial 4.05 Poet’s Lady 4.40 Dukedom 5.10 Whitehaven 4.40 JOIN CASUMO TODAY NURSERY 2YO £4,752 (4) 7f 37yds (12) 1 (5) 954 AMOR VINCIT OMNIA (43) T Dascombe 9-7 R Kingscote 90 2 (6) 3222 EL HIBRI (13) B Meehan 9-2...................................D O’Neill 87 3 (12) 12054 SUPERIOR FORCE (23) G Boughey 9-1.............O Murphy ★92 4 (7) 5812L2 MAGIC WARRIOR (16) R Hannon 9-0................R L Moore 89 5 (4) 245 ● DUKEDOM (13) J & T Gosden 9-0.....................

But it has not been enough to get him into either the Ashes squad or even the back-up B team travelling to Australia to help sharpen up the squad ahead of the first Test. England named a 14-man Lions squad, who will depart for Australia on November 4 and return in mid-December. Those reserves are set for a key role ahead of the first Test in Brisbane, tackling Joe Root’s side in a full-on competitive first-class four-day warm-up game. But while Saqib Mahmood, Dom Sibley and Matt Parkinson were among names who will be hoping to make a late dart into the Ashes squad should injuries hit or their form demand, the summer’s biggest breakout star will not be there. England have been accused by high-profile pundits of selecting a “predictable” Ashes squad and Livingstone would undoubtedly have been an exciting left-field pick. England yesterday suggested that Livingstone will have to do more if he is to make the grade at Test level. “Liam’s clearly a player of high potential, he’s had a fantastic year, particularly in white-ball cricket,” said England’s on way back: England all-rounder Ben Stokes fuelled hopes that his return to toplevel cricket may not be far off after returning to the nets yesterday 1.

By Gideon Brooks performance director Mo Bobat. “I’m really looking forward to watching him at the T20 World Cup do his thing and hopefully help England do as well as we can out there. From a redball perspective, quite simply, it felt like there were other players ahead of him right now.” Livingstone, who has a confident swagger about him, averages 38.36 in first-class cricket after 62 matches – figures that compare favourably with 36.00 and 34.33 in ODI and T20 cricket respectively. “He’s done incredibly in whiteball cricket but some of his redball numbers in the last couple of years might not have been what he’s wanted,” said Bobat. “He’s probably missed a bit of cricket as well from being around England environments, which some of the players have dealt with and wrestled with. “But do we think there’s a player there with potential there across all disciplines – he’s someone we’ll keep having an interest in – I don’t think that’s going to change.” world of sport High point for Norrie Cameron Norrie booked his place in the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open with victory over Diego Schwartzman to secure the British No.1 ranking. Norrie was off to a blistering start, taking the opening set to love in 31 minutes. Schwartzman got on the board in the opening game of the second set but Norrie TENNIS gained an early break and roared to a 6-0 6-2 victory in one hour 13 minutes. Speaking after the win, Norrie said: “It was such a big moment for me. It’s the biggest win of my career.” ❑ US Open champion Emma Raducanu has pulled out of next week’s Kremlin Cup in Moscow.

Stokes in the nets BEN STOKES raised hopes he may return to frontline cricket sooner rather than later after having a first tentative net yesterday. The England all-rounder has had successful follow-up surgery on the broken finger he sustained in the IPL in April. He took an indefinite break after suffering mental fatigue, and performance director Mo Bobat said: “It’s pleasing to see his energy and excitement return and him trusting his finger again.“ Gideon Brooks SNOOKER Ronnie O’Sullivan says ‘Yan the Man’ is ready to rule. The Rocket lost a Northern Ireland Open thriller 4-3 to Yan Bingtao. The 21-year-old from China kept his cool under intense pressure to close it out. O’Sullivan said: “Yan is the best young one out there. Some people are winners and he is one – there can only be so many.” Hector Nunns

RUGBY UNION: williams’ challenge Picture: GLYN KIRK By Alex Spink The pain began before Tower Bridge. By mile 15 Shane Williams’ hamstrings were pleading for mercy. As he left the City and passed along the Embankment his head started to throb. His shoulders cramped up. His calf went. But when Wales’ record tryscorer finished the London Marathon and caught his breath he paused and thought to himself, ‘How good was that?’ “Worth every second of the pain,” said the wing wizard. “I loved every moment. It gave me the feeling back again.” It is a decade since Williams’ last Test, seven years since he announced his retirement. He might have thrived in the land of giants but this pocket rocket makes no such claim about life beyond the final whistle. “I knew there was going to be a big void in my life,” he said. “Not playing was something I dreaded. It’s the camaraderie you miss. I struggled without it, I really did.” He was luckier than most. He saw it coming. Before the last of his 58 Wales tries he began putting in place charity challenges, be they Ironman, marathon, bike ride. “People always think, ‘You played rugby or football, needs a buzz: Williams in London you earned money, you must be fine’,” he said. “Everyone has their problems. Money doesn’t solve everything. We all cry.” Last weekend brought Mental Health Day and a reminder that, as Williams puts it, “life’s not all sunshine and rainbows”. He reckons retiring from pro sport must be like coming out of the military. “You go from spending almost every day – breakfast, lunch, sometimes dinner – with these boys,” he said. “Then one day they’re not there any more. It can be very lonely. DX1ST Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 53 back in the day Williams was head over heels in love with rugby and struggled without it Marathon man fills the void shane’s life after rugby I’ve spoken to a lot of lads who have been in dark places. Some are still struggling 5-10 years on. As a sport we need to look out for each other more.” His marathon effort brought a personal best time of three hours 24 minutes and funds for the Velindre Cancer Centre. He quickly turned his attention to supporting the Tackle HIV campaign led by Gareth Thomas. “I know people are going to say I’m having a mid-life crisis,” he said. “But challenging myself, getting that competitive feeling again, makes me feel alive.” ● Tackle HIV is a campaign led by Gareth Thomas, in partnership with ViiV Healthcare and the Terrence Higgins Trust, to tackle stigma and misunderstanding around HIV.

DX1ST 54 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 By Hector Nunns FA Cup fever is sweeping through the sleepy Surrey stockbroker-belt market town of Dorking. And Marc White can barely believe the transformation at Dorking Wanderers since he formed a park football club with mates 22 years ago. After an astonishing 12 promotions in 19 completed seasons, the team are homing in on the Football League in the Conference South. And tomorrow founder, chairman and also manager White will lead his side into a fourth qualifying round tie against Hayes & Yeading at Meadowbank hoping to earn a debut crack at the firstround proper. White has done it all, from washing the kit to hanging the nets and putting a rope around the pitch. And having managed the side from the days when a few friends chucked in a fiver each for the £50 pitch hire, he admits it might be time to think about some coaching badges. The merry band started life in the Crawley & District League in Sussex, and have graduated through the West Sussex and Sussex County leagues. And White left his job as a city advertising executive to start a marketing company, allowing himself more time with the club. White said: “I have been the manager from day one as well as being a player back then, but I haven’t done any coaching badges. I honestly don’t know at what level I might need them. “In business, I had a leadership role at a young age in advertising, and, being a football nut and a decent player as a lad, the two seemed to combine in the manager role. “Being a football manager is 80 percent man-management and decision-making, and then I surround myself with a team of coaches, scouts and physios. “A tremendous group of people got us here. I used to take my daughters along to wash the kit. I’ve used a rope that was donated to put around the pitch. “Fans and local volunteers and businesses have been terrific – we have around 65 partners.

DX1ST Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 55 Neil Squires Our Chief Sports Reporter tackles the big issues head on ● If Wayne Rooney’s Amazon Prime documentary really is a tell-all, no-holdsbarred piece of television as promised, then it is going to need a mini-series. He may have loftier goals but it’s time for Marcus to start scoring again Is football Marcus Rashford’s priority anymore? It is a question which can legitimately be asked as he prepares to make his Manchester United return this weekend. So much has happened to him – and because of him – since he assumed the mantle of conscience to the nation that the essentially escapist act of kicking a ball must have been placed into some sort of perspective. When you talk about goals, ensuring the country’s children are fed and have a fair chance at life are about as big and important as they get. The football type? Well, it is fun to score those too but they’re not quite the same are they? Already an MBE for his campaigning against child poverty, he became the youngest person in history to receive an honorary doctorate from Manchester University last week. He is also a bestselling author and the face of Google. Rashford has a strong support team who ensure none of his extracurricular stuff encroaches on the football – or, of late, the rehab. The workload is not the issue. The question Rashford has to answer is whether the passion remains as deep for the day job. There was a marked drop-off in his performances as last season wore on with just three goals in his last 18 appearances for United, including a blank in Gdansk where he missed a golden chance in the Europa League final defeat by Villarreal. The last sighting of him on a field was in tears at Wembley after his shootout miss in the Euros final. The reaction to the racial abuse which came his way afterwards summed education act: Receiving his doctorate up where he stood in the hearts of the nation. The Rashford mural in Withington became a shrine. Yet the truism that a player is only as good as his last game applies to a saint as much as a sinner. The 2021 slump can be explained by the injuries he was carrying to his shoulder and foot. But, fully recovered after post-Euros surgery, there will be no such excuse this time around. He returns to a different picture at Old Trafford. The additions of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho mean Rashford will have to work harder for a start. Likewise with England. Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling may have been ineffectual against Hungary in midweek but are mainstays of Gareth Southgate’s operation and the manager has many alternatives, particularly in the wide furrow Rashford formerly ploughed. Rashford has achieved plenty in his short career – he has already scored 100 goals for club and country – but now has to prove himself all over again. He turns 24 later this month and can achieve so much but only if the fires still burn as they once did. The exposure to a wider – and in many ways more fulfilling – world is a complicating factor for him. But it was through his football that Rashford developed the profile to make such an impact in the first place. To continue to maximise his impact off the pitch, he needs to play – and play well – for club and country. His twin passions need not be mutually exclusive. Just the opposite, in fact. Root must put England first JOE ROOT wants to play in the Indian Premier League next year but as England Test captain he should think again. As a professional sportsman, lining your pockets is obviously a baseline consideration and the IPL pays better than any tournament in world cricket. But it is not as if Root is badly remunerated as England skipper, and with the role come certain responsibilities. England are playing the third Test of their West Indies tour in March, when the IPL is due to start, and the first Test of the home summer against New Zealand less than a fortnight after it finishes. It would be better for all concerned if Root misses out in the auction. root: Has a choice to make MUCH love: Tributes after he was abused for his penalty miss, below golden touch: Scoring against Brighton Plastic is not fantastic for rugby WORLD Rugby’s decision to lift the ban on players wearing tights and leggings sadly comes too late to see the scowl on the face of Martin Johnson, right, if anyone had handed him a pair to try on. It will be interesting to see how many players take up the offer, which is intended to help combat skin abrasions caused by artificial pitches. A third of the hit and miss... Rashford has had a frustrating time with injury and loss of form Premiership now use these surfaces but they are unpopular with players. An RFU survey concluded injury rates were 45 percent higher on synthetic pitches than on grass. A senior English rugby figure predicted Owen Farrell would be finished by 30 because he plays on a 3G pitch at Saracens. He made it past that birthday but plastic remains far from fantastic.

DX1ST 56 Daily Express Friday, October 15, 2021 Waiting for last orders By Simon Bird IF Steve Bruce really does make it to his 1,000th game on Sunday, he will be a lame-duck manager. Toon fans want him out and the new ownership group have refused to publicly back him. The players have existed in an awkward limbo this week ahead of their Premier League fixture against Tottenham, wondering who is next in the hot-seat while working with Bruce and No.2 Graeme Jones on the training ground. Bruce staying on, however briefly, risks a fresh start in front of a celebratory St James’ Park crowd turning sour if Spurs take the points. Top candidates such as Brendan Rodgers and Antonio Conte have no interest in the job, preferring their next move to be actual elite rather than wannabe winner. A week on from the £305million takeover being completed, it turns out that overhauling a football club is not a quick or easy job. Patience and a long-term attitude prevail. The new owners faced a dilemma all week. Briefings from close to the consortium that Bruce would be sacked early this week left the manager seething. He still had to prepare his squad for Sunday’s game with players thinking he was on the way out. The new ownership group had promised a careful process of evaluation across the club, which is said to be an arduous process. While it is clear Bruce is not the long-term solution, the question was asked this week: Why sack him without a replacement lined up? Why leave just Jones and Ben Dawson in charge on their own to face flak if they lose the next few games when Bruce, Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence could hold the fort just a bit longer. To counter that, the new ownership want to create momentum. Would that be possible with Bruce in the dug-out facing chants demanding his sacking? Bruce must also decide whether to be hit with awkward questions about his future or put his foot down and demand clarity. Complicating matters is Bruce’s £8m pay-off, which no boss would want to jeopardise. The race is now on for the new owners to find a manager who tallies with their stated ambition of getting to the Champions League and challenging for the ‘Unite to help Brooks’ Scott Parker has called on football fans to unite behind David Brooks in his cancer fight. The Wales and Bournemouth midfielder, right, has been diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin Lymphoma. Brooks is confident of making a full recovery and By Alex Crook could play again before the end of the season. Cherries boss Parker said: “It’s been a tough week for David and his family. “My message is making sure we are right behind him. It does not matter who you support or what colours you wear.” FOOTBALL: PREMIER LEAGUE Premier League title.

The Belgium midfielder, who joined Torino on loan in the summer, said: “He is a trainer who speaks a lot but I didn’t get an explanation.

Derby’s Picture: Clive Brunskill walking wounded: Bruce is expected to be axed by new owners A limbo dance on Tyneside Bruce clinging to job from back page unhappy that his position has been undermined this week as he tries to orchestrate the club’s first win of the season. Fans have been demanding for weeks that Bruce be axed to give the club an immediate fresh start, and he has had no public backing from his employers. Staveley has only insisted that the squad is better than their current position of 19th in the table. However, it is understood that during an amicable meeting on Monday, Bruce was thanked by Staveley for twice keeping the club in the Premier League, allowing the takeover to eventually go through. soundings, believing that he could become France manager. Rookie Frank Lampard is the new favourite, with his old England team-mate Steven Gerrard, who has enjoyed success as Rangers manager, in the frame. football latest administrations have had no contact from Ashley, who sold Newcastle for £305 million, but Rams boss Rooney said: “I’ve no doubt whatsoever people would be interested in buying the club.” ● BURNLEY’S Maxwel Cornet has recovered from a hamstring injury in time for tomorrow’s clash with Manchester City, a team he scored four goals against in three matches for Lyon.

Former team-mates and club executives joined the family of Hunt, who died last month aged 83, for a service at Liverpool Reds fly brazil duo to madrid LIVERPOOL plan to fly Alisson and Fabinho from Brazil to Spain to ensure they can play against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. It is virtually impossible to fly the duo back to face Watford in tomorrow’s lunchtime game at Vicarage Road because their World Cup qualifier with Uruguay kicked off at 1.30am UK time today. Fabinho, right, says the BRIGHTON have been handed a massive blow after striker Danny Welbeck was ruled out for three months with a hamstring injury. And Steve Alazate is out for the same period with an ankle problem. Both were injured at Crystal Palace before the international break and are unlikely to feature again until January. It is a bitter blow for former England, Arsenal and Manchester United forward Welbeck, above, who finally hit top form at the end of Cathedral.

Manager Graham Potter said: “It is a recurrence of the injury Danny had against Manchester City last season, and he has now had surgery.” DX1ST football: premier league TIME TO INVEST IN STERLING By John Cross RAHEEM STERLING has established himself as one of the Premier League’s biggest stars. The England forward has enjoyed six glorious years at Manchester City, helping them win three titles, the FA Cup and four League Cups. He has become one of the most respected voices in the sport, was England’s best player at the Euros and is one of the game’s most marketable stars. But at the heart of it all remains his love for his job. Sterling, 26, said: “From a young child, football has been the most important thing in my life. My most happiest. “When I play football, that’s where I get my happiness from. And of course with family as well, but football has a special place in my heart. With everything that comes with football, money, being able to do nice things... at the end of the day if football for me is not at a certain standard I’m not at my happiest. “If I want my happiness at a certain level I need to be playing football, I need to be scoring goals and enjoying myself.” Sterling is clearly not at his happiest at the moment. MANCHESTER City forward Ferran Torres has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a fractured foot. Torres, left, suffered the injury on duty with Spain in their Nations League semifinal win against Italy. He scored twice and went on to play in Spain’s 2-1 defeat by Star will put happiness above loyalty to City He has started just two Premier League games this season. He says he will not complain but equally feels it will take time to adjust to playing as a No.9 if that is where City boss Pep Guardiola wants him. Despite losing his place, Sterling’s maturity and professionalism have been noted and praised within the City camp. This is not an immature player sulking. His desire to Money is nice but I need to be playing win trophies is stronger than ever but if Guardiola does not see him as a regular starter, then the player will have to think about moving on again. Sterling shook the footballing world by leaving Liverpool in 2015 to join City in a £49million deal – and his success at the Etihad has fully justified that decision. Six years on, Sterling finds himself at another crossroads as the clock ticks down on his current deal, which expires in 2023. This is crunch time and Sterling’s mindset is By David McDonnell pretty clear. The forward set out his objectives in a frank conversation at the France, but was substituted and later had the fracture confirmed. The loss of Torres, who has scored three times in seven games playing up front for City this season, is a major blow to boss Pep Guardiola. City failed Financial Times’ Business of Sport Summit – and explained why he is not content to just sit on the bench. When asked about his targets, Sterling said: “Keeping humble, keeping that hard-working spirit, chasing the next goal. “Trying to get better numbers. Keeping that hunger. Keeping that in your stomach. That’s the only way. “Consistency. It is having that same will and desire going to the Champions League and then doing the same thing on a cold day somewhere where a team is fighting for survival. “It gets to the point where you are like, right, now this is the direction I need to go to get to the next level and, when I get there, what’s the next level? “You’re always trying to make a step up and there are frustrations along that way. It’s how you overcome them to keep elevated.” Torres gives guardiola new headache to sign a striker, their summer-long pursuit of Harry Kane ending up fruitless, but that failure was offset by Torres impressing when playing through the middle. Now Guardiola will be without the 21-year-old for a run of games starting against Burnley in the Premier League tomorrow and including a Champions League tie in Bruges on Tuesday and the derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford on November 6. Guardiola can turn to Gabriel Jesus, who is ostensibly a striker, but the Brazilian has been playing in a wide role this season.

He has already attracted interest from Barcelona and has never hidden his desire to play abroad in the future. Talking at a Financial Times Live event, Sterling said: “If there was the opportunity to go somewhere else for more game time, I would be open to it at this moment in time. “As I said, football is the most important thing to me. Challenges that I have set myself from a young age and dreams as well. “As an English player all I know is the Premier League and I’ve always thought, you know, maybe one day I’d love to play abroad to see how I would come up against that challenge.” On being dropped this season, he said: “I’m not a person that’s going to complain. I’ve not tried to make it a bigger deal than it actually is. “I just get on with my work, do what I need to do. “And I’m raring to go – playing football matches regularly, scoring goals regularly.” Sterling was England’s best player at this summer’s Euros, but his situation at City has affected his form and he was substituted against Hungary after a disappointing performance in the 1-1 draw on Tuesday. That will be a worry for England manager Gareth Southgate, above, who has always trusted him as one of his most important players, which is another factor in Sterling’s concerns about his future at City.

But Ismael, below, said the in-form striker needed to be mindful that his stance could have repercussions if it threatens to destabilise training sessions. He added: “We have to respect a person’s decision and make sure we don’t stigmatise them. But all I can say is, I’m fully vaccinated. “The majority of our players are too.

He is free to open provided vaccine for our players.” Ismael is hoping a sell-out at home under lights can put his side back on track after a 1-0 defeat by Stoke in their last game. Meanwhile, Birmingham striker Troy Deeney accepts that his record of one goal in six since joining the club has not set the world alight. The Blues are looking for a first win in those six games, and Deeney said: “Unless I’m doing my job to the best of my ability, then I can’t demand it off somebody else. But results haven’t been reflective – we’ve been missing chances and defending poorly. We expect to put that right against West Brom.” Lingard ready to quit United move on: Lingard wants more action By David McDonnell talks with clubs outside of the UK from January 1 ahead of a potentially lucrative move as a free agent, for which he would earn a hefty signing-on fee. But that would only give Lingard a few months to stake a claim for a place on the plane to Qatar. If Lingard sees out his contract at United, he is unlikely to get the playing time that he needs to impress manager Gareth Southgate enough to warrant a place in the England squad for the World Cup.
