Heart defect no barrier to being a mum MOST women born with heart defects can give birth safely, a study says. But its authors say medics and counsellors are critical when helping them become mums. None of the 4,015 pregnant women with congenital heart disease died during the study. Their babies were slightly more likely to be stillborn or die in their first month than children of mums without CHD. However, study author Dr Astrid Lammers, of University Hospital Munster in Germany, said: “It is very encouraging.” Hate crimes reach a new record level HATE crimes are at the highest level on record. There were 124,091 in the year to March 2021, Home Office data shows. Of those 92,052 were race-hate crimes and 6,377 were religious hate. There were 18,596 related to sexual orientation, 9,943 to disability and 2,799 transgender-linked. English and Welsh police report racially motivated incidents as up 12%. The Home Office says the rises were driven by improvements in the recording and awareness of hate crimes.

She thinks her father Stuart caught Covid while waiting for a cancer appointment in Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital on March 18 last year. Stuart, 72, died on April 12 in 2020, just more than a week after the Prime Minister announced a lockdown in England. A parliamentary report this week slammed the wait by the Government to order the shutdown until March 23. And Jo, 33, believes her father would not have been exposed to the coronavirus if lockdown had happened earlier. She said: “The report is rightly damning, and it is a relief to see what we have known all along reflected in its findings. The report is damning, and a relief to see what we have known jo goodman on the parliamentary finding coronavirus crisis: fury Weasel at “It recognises the Government’s failures, failures which will shape my life for ever. “but it has not told us why those failures happened.” Jo, who comes from Norwich but now lives in London, added that the upcoming Covid inquiry will fail to explore the reasons behind the failures unless bereaved families are included in the process. She said: “I haven’t been kept up at night wondering why Dominic Cummings wasn’t allowed to bring a laptop into a CobRA meeting. “but me and my family have spent countless hours wondering why and how my dad was left so vulnerable. “Why the Government didn’t do everything it could to protect him. “We and every other family that has lost somebody to Covid understands what went wrong in ways [former Health Secretary] Jeremy Hunt never can. That is why we want to continue to work with him and the other chairs of the committee. “our experiences are hellish. “ but she added: “If we learn from them together, we might be able to keep others safe in the future.” qUestIONs Jo needs to know why her father died Johnson abandons his country to paint pretty picture in Spain DefeNCe Steve Barclay yesterday LUxURY Goldsmith’s villa in the hills above Marbella by aNDY LINes Chief Reporter in Marbella, pIppa CReRaR, Political Editor and jONathaN COLes AS Boris Johnson stood at his easel trying to emulate his hero Winston Churchill, at home he was being condemned for failing to lead the nation through its worst crisis since the Second World War. Families of those who died of Covid-19 were calling on the Prime Minister to apologise for his Government’s appalling failings during the pandemic, after a devastating report by MPs. And as Mr Johnson relaxed in the Spanish villa owned by his billionaire pal, Zac Goldsmith, who he made a peer, industry chiefs were warning soaring energy prices could shut factories, costing thousands of jobs. The country was also tackling labour shortages, price hikes, and a brutal Universal Credit cut, and with Cop26 less than a month away, the PM was advised to “get off his sun lounger and start being a statesman” amid warnings he needs to take the climate talks in Glasgow seriously to avoid a “greenwash” summit. But Mr Johnson carried on his holiday with wife Carrie and their year-old son Wilfred regardless, leading the Spanish press to react to his sunshine break with disbelief. The El Cases: 8,231,437 (up 38,520) Deaths: 137,944 (up 181) Pais newspaper said: “Boris Johnson spends a week in Marbella with his family while the United Kingdom tackles its greatest crisis since the pandemic.” Mr Johnson has failed to comment on a report on ministers’ handling of the pandemic by the Health and Social Care and Science and Technology committees. It concluded that 20,000 lives could have been saved if the country had gone into lockdown earlier in March last year. Cabinet Office Minister Steve Barclay, who was sent out to defend the Government, admitted he had not even read the report and refused more than a dozen times to apologise – even though 150,000 people have died. Asked if he wanted to say sorry for the failings, he said: “We’ve followed throughout the scientific advice. We got the vaccine deployed extremely quickly, we protected our NHS.” Another Tory minister George Freeman said: “It’s too early for any proper discussion about blame and fault. This was a biomedical Battle of Britain and I suspect mistakes were made.” Rivka Gottlieb, 49, believes the decision not UK Latest WORLD Latest Cases: 239,253,894 (up 232,232) Deaths: 4,876,601 (up 4,035) masteRstROKe Johnson yesterday Picture: MIRRORPIX to lock down earlier last spring cost her dad Michael, 73, his life in April. She said: “I remember at the time, so many voices clamouring for an earlier lockdown, including from the scientific community. “So the finger pointing, and the blaming the scientists, I just don’t accept it, I don’t buy it. “Ultimately, the buck stops with the Government. They are responsible for the decisions and they made very poor decisions.” Lindsay Jackson, whose mother Sylvia died in a care home last April, criticised Tory MP Jeremy Hunt, one of the authors of the report, for comparing the handling of the pandemic to a football match with “two very different halves” because of the success of the vaccines roll-out. Ms Jackson said: “This is not a game. “My mother didn’t lose her life in a game. I think she lost her life because of mistakes that were made by the Government. “I knew lockdown was too slow, I knew the social care sector wasn’t being looked after.” Labour leader Keir Starmer called for the PM to apologise to bereaved families. He said:

He should apologise.” Eluned Morgan, health minister in Labour-run Wales, has said sorry for mistakes made by the Welsh government. She said: “I’ve never understood why politicians have such a problem in apologising.” The PM’s former chief aide, Dominic Cummings, branded Mr Johnson a “joke” after some of his criticisms of the workings of government were vindicated in the report. He told Sky News: “The government system for dealing with crises is a disaster. “The system was bad for many years before Covid. Me and others put into place work to try and improve the system in 2020 after the first wave. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister, being the joke that he is, has not pushed that work through.” The Cop26 talks begin on October 31, and Shadow Business Secretary Ed Miliband yesterday said the PM should “get off his sun lounger and start being a statesman”. Labour’s former Climate criTic Dominic Cummings ..WHAT THE NATION SEES Change Secretary said the Government had not properly set out what the Cop26 summit should achieve. In a speech today, Mr Miliband will set out the “undeniable and frightening maths” on climate change. Mr Johnson is struggling to convince Tory MPs to back his drive for the UK to hit net zero carbon by 2050. Ministers will confirm next week that green surcharges will be shifted on to gas in a move designed to nudge customers toward lower-carbon electricity instead. The Tories’ Heating and Boiler strategy aims to make electricity cheaper and gas more expensive in the next 15 years. The installation of new gas boilers after 2035 will be banned and consumers handed subsidies of between £4,000 and £7,000 for electric heat pumps. A decision on replacing the gas network with hydrogen will be put back to 2026, amid safety concerns. Alok Sharma, president of the Cop26 summit, said yesterday that Glasgow was a “make or break” moment for the EVERYBODY is entitled to a holiday, including the Prime Minister, but Boris Johnson has undeniably chosen a particularly bad time to escape a worried country. While he enjoys painting pictures in the sunshine, back home many millions of workers, families and businesses are fighting serious crises on multiple fronts. While he indulges in the luxury of a grand villa in Marbella courtesy of a Conservative minister gifted a peerage, companies in the glass, steel, ceramic, paper and cement industries are concerned that soaring crippling fuel bills could shut them down. Shortages of lorry drivers and agricultural workers are emptying supermarket shelves. Households he callously hit by snatching away £20 a week Universal Credit face choosing between heating and eating. Mourning relatives are asking why he isn’t apologising for the thousands of Covid-19 victims who are dead due to his and his Government’s incompetence. In a democracy it is demonstrably in the public interest for voters to see what their Prime Minister is doing. Yes, Johnson’s suffered Covid himself last year and his mother died recently so he could do with a break. Yet when he’s contributing to the woes of those hardworking grafters, families and businesses rather than giving them a break at what is a stressful time, Johnson is reinforcing growing evidence that he is a trivial figure in power at a time when a serious Prime Minister is required. Britain is screaming out for incisive leadership. The picture Mr Johnson is painting by abandoning Downing Street this week isn’t pretty. A good PM would be at work, not on holiday. Going AWOL tells us much about Johnson that is disturbing. wealthiest countries to stop global temperatures soaring by more than 1.5C. In a speech in Paris, Mr Sharma said: “If temperatures continue to rise we will step through a series of one-way doors, the end destination of which is climate catastrophe.” Mr Johnson, a keen amateur painter, is expected to return from his holiday tomorrow. Winston Churchill was famously photographed painting in Morocco in the 1960s, although Mr Johnson could have been trying to emulate Congo the chimpanzee, another keen amateur who became famous for his artwork in the 1950s.

Declines in life expectancy used to be rare in wealthy countries like the UK, LIFE expectancy in many areas of England was falling even before the Covid-19 pandemic struck, research reveals. Office for National Statistics data 2017-2020 shows life expectancy for UK men fell for the first time in 40 years.

Areas with the highest life expectancies were often based in London and nearby counties. Damning verdict on virus reaction commenT BY Professor christiNa Pagel ThE house of Commons report on lessons learned from the pandemic is damning of the UK’s response to it. On the initial response in 2020, the report highlighted four main failings: ignoring advice from the WhO and other countries where Covid hit first; reducing our testing capacity; making assumptions about what level of response the British public would accept – which turned out to be wrong; and failing to set up a test, trace and isolate system until it was too late. Instead of preventing infections, the focus was on managing hospital capacity. This did nothing to stop spread and later led to the terrible decision to discharge untested elderly patients to care homes. The UK set itself up to fail in containing the pandemic, with a sense this was all inevitable. As the report said, it was not.

DM1ST 6 DAILY MIRROR WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 Long to cane over us.. Queen has support of walking stick for a service at Abbey coUPLE Philip, 99, died in April Thanksgiving plan for life of Prince, 99 THE Queen is considering holding a national thanksgiving service for the life of Prince Philip, after only 30 people could attend his funeral in April. It would also offer a chance to repair fractured relations within the Royal Family, according to insiders. Royal-watcher Joe Little said it was “common sense to allow all those organisations that worked with the Duke to pay respects”. Prince Harry, 37, will miss an event next week hosted by Prince William to thank friends of their mother, including Sir Elton John, for funding a new statue of her. PaRtnERS Meghan and Harry Royal couple join ‘ethical’ banking firm PRINCE Harry and Meghan have moved into banking, joining a firm whose owners describe themselves as “hippies”. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have become “impact partners” and investors at sustainable investing firm Ethic. It is not known how much they have invested or if they are being paid. Multimillionaire Meghan, 40, said: “From the world I come from, you don’t have the luxury to invest. That sounds so fancy.” Ethic’s british co-founder Jay Lipman has previously said the company shares hippy ideals, despite managing a $1billion fund. RoUgh StRidE Queen crosses the cobbles with Dean of Westminster by RUSSELL MYERS Royal Editor THE Queen steadied herself with a walking stick as she attended a service at Westminster Abbey to mark the centenary of the Royal British Legion. Palace sources allayed fears the Queen, who is 95, was unwell or had suffered a fall, insisting the stick was “purely for comfort”. Courtiers also stressed the entrance was “cobbled and uneven”, which was evident as she was welcomed by the Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr David Hoyle. Instead of using the Great West Door, the Queen entered the Abbey from Poet’s Yard, which gave her a shorter route to her seat. Followed by Princess Anne, she stopped to accept flowers from two young girls, holding the posy in one hand with her handbag and cane in the other. Onlookers said she had appeared to be in “good spirits”. A royal source said: “The Queen has been none other than in fantastic form and her choice of using a stick on this occasion was purely for her own comfort. “It may be that Her Majesty will again use the aid on occasion if she wishes, so it will not be out of the ordinary to see her with one.” BRAvERy The Queen has been photographed using a cane on occasion, including at engagements in 2003 and 2004 after a knee operation.

There was a full congregation at the Abbey yesterday, with serving members of the armed forces, veterans, and their families there to mark the Legion’s centenary. The thanksgiving service highlighted the Legion’s legacy and ongoing work supporting and commemorating the armed forces. Readings were given by Victoria Cross hero Colour Sergeant Johnson Beharry and Sara Jones, whose husband Lieutenant Colonel Herbert Jones was awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross for his bravery at the Battle of Goose Green in the Falklands. C Sgt Beharry, of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, said: “This is a landmark moment for the Royal British Legion. “The charity is very close to my heart.

Shocked Laura Tranter, 34, thought she was hallucinating when she spotted the 4ft python at 5.30am. “I nearly sat on the thing and was scared,” said Laura, of Stourbridge, West Mids. “Its head was on the seat. I shut the toilet door and thought, ‘Did I see that?’ I feared I was hallucinating, so I checked if it was real. “It was actually stuck in my toilet, as it was so fat in the middle that it couldn’t get out or get back.” She phoned the RSPCA but a recording said they did not open till 7am. She and pals used washing-up liquid to free the snake, which they suspect was released as an unwanted pet. It is now in the care of the RSPCA. What Wayne did was not By acceptable..

She and ex-England star Wayne, also 35, were childhood sweethearts and married in June 2008 aged 22. The interview marks one of the rare times that Coleen has addressed the controversy surrounding her husband.

Fury, 33, and wife Paris, 31, had been partying in Las Vegas since his victory over Deontay Wilder early on Sunday. But now the couple are looking forward to relaxing with their six children in their luxurious Lancashire pile. They already had a £550,000 house overlooking the beautiful Morecambe Bay and have now bought a second, larger home nearby. It has more room for their daughters, Venezuela, 12, Valencia, three, and twomonth-old Athena, and three sons Prince John James, nine, Prince Tyson II, four, and Prince Adonis, two.

Neighbours Christine Newby and Pauline Wade, both 75, woke in the early hours of Sunday to watch the big fight. Christine said: “Tyson is very popular around here. We all like him and his family, they are lovely. he has done very well for himself and he deserves it, he has worked so hard for it.” earlier this year Tyson helped Pauline to her feet when she stumbled outside her bungalow.

I watched the fight on Sunday and it was fantastic.” Mike Greenall, the Mayor of Lancaster, which includes Morecambe, said yesterday: “having a world champion in our midst is something our district can be rightly proud of.” Tyson has praised the picturesque seaside resort by saying: “People say to me, ‘Why don’t you live in California’. “But why would I?

10 DAILY MIRROR WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 Voice of the PM’s covid toll shame BRANDED a joke Prime Minister by divisive adviser-turned-enemy Dominic Cummings, Boris Johnson is infuriating many by hiding away in his Spanish villa. Instead of relaxing, he should be apologising for reckless Covid mistakes which needlessly killed tens of thousands of people. Throw in the energy crisis and chronic shortages caused, in part, by his policies and it seems he has picked a particularly bad time to lie on a sun lounger and play tennis. Sorry definitely is the hardest word for an arrogant leader of a Government responsible for so many going to early graves. His absence adds insult to the injury endured by grieving families who lost loved ones who may well have been saved by a more decisive leader. Lessons must be learned from the pandemic but those who committed grievous errors, and Johnson sits at the top of the tree as PM, must be scrutinised and held to account. Queen’s salute IT was republican firebrand Dennis Skinner, the Beast of Bolsover, who observed that age never travels alone. Yesterday we saw the Queen, 95, using a walking stick for support as she got on with the job despite her advancing years. That determination to stay mobile will strike a chord with many people who use a walking aid. Growing physical frailty is an obstacle to overcome and doesn’t signify a dimming spirit or thirst to enjoy life and, in the Queen’s case, serve our country as she has always done. She’ll certainly receive no stick from the public for using a walking aid. coleen wins IT takes real courage for Coleen Rooney to talk so frankly in public about her turbulent marriage to footballer Wayne.

The sector is said to lack more than 4,000 bus/coach drivers. The reasons are similar to the lack of HGV drivers, from EU nationals returning home after brexit to poor working conditions. There are also reports of bus drivers switching to lorry work, with the offer of more pay. The Confederation of Public Transport said: “It is having an impact across the country. “more bus drivers are quitting than we can recruit and talk of higher-paid jobs in road haulage is adding to the problem.” Industry chiefs insist that the vast majority of bus and coach services are running as normal. However, reports say several companies have reduced the frequency of services to try to avoid cancelling school routes. by GRAHAM HISCOTT Head of business A RECORD number of unfilled jobs, alongside reports of cargo ships being diverted from a massive UK port, is yet more evidence of a nation in crisis. Households are facing soaring energy and food bills, worsening gaps on shelves and potentially higher mortgage costs. The Prime Minister, relaxing in Spain, is under even more pressure to get a grip, amid fears worse is to come before Christmas. Yesterday the Office for National Statistics confirmed job vacancies reached 1.2 million last month, the highest since records began in 2001. Worker shortages could be down to the post­Brexit shake­up, the pandemic, or longer term trends – or a combination, it is argued. Shipping giant Maersk reported yesterday it is diverting vessels away from the UK because of a build­up of cargo.

Independent think-tank UK in a Changing Europe analysed data to untangle some of the arguments over what to blame for shortages and price rises – Covid or Brexit. The work was done by Prof Anand Menon, Prof Jonathan Portes and researchers Sarah Overton, Joël Reland and Alan Wager... The Prime Minister’s claim that “wages are rising” is not supported by the data. As shortages and global energy price rises push up inflation, real wages in the UK have fallen. Reduced immigration after Brexit may raise pay for some but high inflation is likely to cancel that out. Brexit Hgv disaster Poor pay and conditions has made HGV work unattractive, not just because of changes to immigration policy but because of new border controls and other restrictions. Although other countries are suffering, post-Brexit changes have worsened the UK’s problem. Brexit Covid Covid labour problem social care posts are vacant, according to the workforce body Skills for Care, alongside unfilled roles from NHS workers to bus drivers. Fuel shortages that created queues have mostly been resolved but prices are rising.

He added: “There are many reports of sites ANALYSIS Professor Jonathan Portes, UK In a ChanGInG eUroPe low productivity economy, and lower immigration and labour shortages will not lead automatically to higher productivity or real wages.

Grocery prices have also risen by 1.7%. Fraser McKevitt, Kantar’s head of retail and consumer insight, said: “In real world terms, the average household had to spend an extra £5.94 divide in skills and productivity between those who go to university and those who don’t; and a model of the labour market and welfare system that, instead of forcing people to take any job, shares risks between employers, workers and the state so as to expand choice and opportunity.

The typical household spends £4,726 per year, any future price rises will quickly add up.” Tesco warned prices could jump 5%, and rising energy bills, combined with other costs, is expected to drive up inflation from 3%. It has led economists to predict the Bank of England could finally lift its base rate from a record low of 0.15%. A rise could push up borrowing costs, including mortgages. Inflation is also higher than many pay rises, leading to real-term wage cuts for workers. There is concern firms are not doing enough to recruit people who need extra training.

The primary aim, said Piers Wenger, is to “give voice to the victims, telling their stories with the utmost respect”. The series stars Steve Coogan as the late TV host and DJ who carried out multiple sex offences on adults and children. Wenger said: “Many important questions still need to be answered about Savile. The documentaries show you again and again the heinous and appalling nature of his crimes. “But I’ve yet to see one that really answers the questions of how this happened and how he was able to render his victims so powerless and without a voice for so long.” Filming of the series, to air next year, has just started.

Jed is thinking, but he hasn’t committed to either of them.” If a seventh series of Line of Duty or a second Bodyguard were to be made, he says it wouldn’t be for a while. “Jed would like it to be when Covid wasn’t a thing because [this year’s Line of Duty] was particularly impacted.” There was good news for EastEnders fans fed up with 20-minute episodes – they’ll be restored to full half-hours, possibly before the end of the year. “We are very focused on getting the show back into its usual slot,” he said.

Other stars pulling in audiences will be The Fall’s Jamie Dornan, Sherlock’s Martin Freeman and Bond star Ben Whishaw. Delighted BBC drama boss Piers Wenger said the new shows were unique for being “genre- busting”, in that they are not conventional thrillers or period dramas or police procedurals. He said: “Distinctive British content is at the very heart of what we do. “These dramas don’t sit comfortably within those genres we feel very familiar with. “The Duchess of Argyll is a period drama but it has a very clear purpose behind it, besides frocks and bonnets. It is the first story of slut-shaming, that is where that story goes. What we feel excited about is pushing against the conventions of genre. “They may be the way the streaming platforms organise their menus – but that doesn’t mean we have to stick to them.” Foy, who played the Queen in the first two series of The Crown, makes good use of her royal diction as she becomes society beauty the Duchess of Argyll in A Very British Scandal, written by regular Agatha Christie adapter Sarah Phelps. Another star of The Crown, Erin Doherty, takes the lead as oddball Becky in six-part Chloe. Wenger said of Doherty’s “astonishing” performance: “It’s very different to Princess Anne.” Here is the lowdown on the eight new shows... nicola.methven@mirror.co.uk @mirrormeths A Very BriTiSh SCAndAl Claire Foy plays Margaret, whose marriage split from the Duke of Argyll was one of the most notorious legal battles of the 1960s. Writer Sarah Phelps says the threeparter explores the “institutional misogyny” the Duchess suffered. It is due to be a festive special. Chloe The psychological thriller stars The Crown’s Erin Doherty plus Billy Howle from The Serpent and Poldark’s Jack Farthing. Temp Becky lives with her mother and obsesses about other people’s lives on social media. When her estranged best friend Chloe is killed, she invents alter egos to investigate. Wenger said: “It is thrilling but it’s not a thriller in the typical sense, like Baptiste or The Missing.” The Girl Before In a thriller, Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays Jane who moves into a flat designed by architect (David Oyelowo) and finds out the disturbing fate of lookalike predecessor Emma (ex-EastEnder Jessica Plummer).

Superhoe Adapted by Nicole Lecky from her West End play, this six-part series tells the story of would-be pop star/rapper Sasha Clayton. Calling Lecky a “phenomenon”, drama chief Wenger said: “It’s a rights of passage/musical mash-up.” The reSponder Sherlock favourite Martin Freeman is an urgent response police officer who is having a breakdown. He was attracted to the “unique and honest” scripts by ex-officer Tony Schumacher. “This is not your average police procedural,” Wenger said.

The ex-England star, 57, backed the club he played for from 1997-1999 against critics of its £300million takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. He said: “I am guided by the Government, [who are] the moral guardians of Britain.” Referencing UK arms sales, he Barnes: Newcastle scapegoats for selling club to Saudi Arabia added: “As long as the moral guardians of this country are saying it’s okay to do business in Saudi Arabia – which we are – we have to be realistic in terms of the way the world works. “We look for scapegoats, so the scapegoat is Newcastle.” Last week Amnesty International urged the Premier League to change its owners’ and directors’ test used before takeovers “to address human rights issues”. Also, John said if he was still playing he would not join stars in taking the knee in an anti-racism gesture before matches. Speaking at the Cheltenham believed we would still be doing it in 20 years time without it making any difference in society.

Nicki gets iN the Mix oN race row Rapper slams star’s alleged ‘blackfish’ jibe street style Jesy Nelson at launch of Boyz single Team maTe Jesy with Nicki Minaj By asHleigH RaiNBiRd Diary Editor NICKI Minaj has called Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock a “clown” over alleged comments about a race row involving her former bandmate Jesy Nelson. Jesy, 30, has been accused of trying to appear darker skinned in the video for Boyz, her collaboration with US rapper Nicki. Social media messages, which a fan claims are from mixed-race Leigh-Anne, 30, appeared to show her accusing Jesy of “blackfishing”. But Jesy insists her tan is natural, from a holiday in Antigua. Nicki, 38, has waded into the row online, saying of Leigh-Anne: “That person has to wear a big red clown nose and big clown boots because you’re a big f***ing clown.” Of the purported leaked messages, Nicki advised Leigh-Anne to “shove them up your a**” and said: “Don’t try to ruin anyone.

They say the radio waves fit no currently understood pattern, suggesting it is a new class of stellar object. It was discovered by a team surveying space for “variable or transient objects” using a telescope in Western Australia. Ziteng Wang, of the University of Sydney, said: “The strangest property of this signal is that it has a very high polarisation, meaning its light oscillates in only one direction.” The PhD student said: “The brightness of the object also varies dramatically and the signal switches on and off, apparently at random. “We’ve never seen anything like it.” moviNg oN Trio Jade, Perrie and Leigh-Anne PoP sTaR Jesy in the Boyz video What is blackfishing?

Leigh-Anne even said to me: ‘Are you sure you’re not mixed race? You go darker than me in the sun, that’s crazy.’” Jesy quit Little Mix last year, making it a trio with Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards. She confirmed that Leigh- Anne – who filmed critically acclaimed documentary Race, Pop & Power for the BBC – did speak to her about the subject during their final video shoot. Jesy has said she is “aware she is a white British woman”. She also said: “I would never intentionally do anything to make myself look racially ambiguous, so that’s why I was shocked that the term was directed at me.” Representatives for Leigh-Anne have been approached for comment. ashleigh.rainbird@mirror.co.uk @arainbird Yv Tell us what you think: yourvoice@mirror.co.uk public figures do everything in their power to appear Black.” She says one sign could be if they “tan their skin excessively”.

So mesmerised by the singing and songwriting stuff that another of her skills has gone largely unrecognised. This week it came into laser sharp focus. The woman could teach a masterclass on being famous. Adele shows all moaning celebrities that it’s entirely possible to be one of the most well-known people in the world and live a very private life. She retains an Old Hollywood-esque air of mystique, only being seen when she chooses to be. Months go by between posts to her 67.3 million social media followers. And then, when she has something to promote, she pops up again, but thoughtfully, sparingly, rather than in an exhausting, all-out media blitz. She controls her fame, rather than the other way round. Of course, Adele’s enormous talent affords her the luxury of never having to court publicity or attention. She doesn’t need to drum up interest in her music – people are just naturally interested, they genuinely care. So she doesn’t have to worry about keeping her profile up between projects, mugging for ‘‘ She retains a mystique – only being seen when she chooses to be ADORED Adele goes live on Insta cameras, attending events she doesn’t really feel like going to, speaking to people she doesn’t really like. She never compromises her integrity, so presumably doesn’t feel resentful about the way the whole system works, which is why she can be so generous when she has a new album out. This week she did a spontaneous Instagram Live – basically a video call to the world – and it felt like a gift. It wasn’t a stage managed, slick appearance, it was completely natural, completely her. Adele was just in her house, with no make-up on, shouting at her dogs to be quiet and not poo inside. She’d never done an Instagram Live before – obviously – so had no idea how it worked.

We learned what spice she gets at Nandos (medium) and what she orders if she has an Indian take- away (Korma). That she prefers tea to coffee, EastEnders to Coronation Street, apple juice to orange. That she supports the Free Britney movement (“Of course!”) and that she definitely doesn’t consider a hot dog a sandwich. When asked what her new record was about she answered with her trademark wit, “Divorce, babe, divorce,” and played a snippet of the first single. If it isn’t clear, none of what she said was particularly groundbreaking – her favourite colour is green, by the way – but that’s irrelevant. She allowed some access, showed respect for the people who support her, and reassured them that despite the success, the weight loss, the LA lifestyle, she’s as down to earth as ever. She invited her public in, but didn’t let them overstay their welcome. Her boundaries remained intact. Afterwards, everyone was happy, satisfied, neither side felt compromised or taken advantage of.

The seascape from the 1800s shows a boat in choppy water, and Jenny, 44, said: “We felt like it really related to Elijah and how we expressed our experience of grief. Grief is not calm, it’s dark and stormy.” The painting, which had sad Jenny and Elijah belonged to James’s grandmother, was mouldy and water damaged, but they took it to The Repair Shop, where is was lovingly restored by Lucia Scalisi. The emotional moment she and James got their picture back is shown on tonight’s episode of the BBC One show. Jenny, from Sheffield, said: “We were absolutely blown away. The painting was just as familiar and as lovely to us, but tenfold because we could now put it on the wall and get lost in it.” Elijah suffered massive brain damage when he was born three months prematurely on March 27, 2013. After he died, Jenny took sons Jacob, now 14, and Amos, 11, camping on the Pembrokeshire coast. She said: “We stayed on a cliff top where we were battered by the sea and wind. It felt very cathartic and helped me with my grief.” They now feel the restored oil painting is a precious link to Elijah. Jenny said: “New life has been breathed into it.” Now a team of four military personnel will set out from the Canary Islands on December 12, in a boat called Elijah’s Star, aiming to row across the Atlantic in the baby’s 37-day lifespan to raise funds for Action Medical Research. Jenny said: “It is amazing that Elijah’s story is continuing.” ■ The Repair Shop, tonight, BBC One, 8pm. This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week.

26 DAILY MIRROR WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 Drug hope in fight against fatal cancer Treatment ‘could target tumours’ By martin Bagot Health editor An existing drug may allow patients whose terminal breast cancer has spread to the brain some precious extra time with loved ones. Talazoparib is being trialled on patients with this incurable cancer. Currently little can be done for patients whose tumours have spread to the brain, due to a strong blood-brain barrier protecting the brain from toxins which may be circulating in the blood. This means drugs entering the blood stream find it harder to target cancer cells in the brain. researcH Talazoparib Talazoparib is a PARP inhibitor which prevents cancer cells with altered BRCA genes from repairing their DNA, thereby killing them. Researchers at the RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Ireland believe it is one of the few hopes. Study lead Prof Leonie Young said secondary breast cancer tumours in the brain often alter how they repair their DNA, which “could make them vulnerable to PARP inhibitor drugs like talazoparib”. Mum Natalie Woodford, 57, of Surrey, whose breast cancer has spread, called it “encouraging”. martin.bagot@mirror.co.uk @MartinBagot DM1ST Half price travel..

Victor Gregg was one of 582 Paras who dropped into Holland fighting the Nazis on September 17, 1944. The initial drop in Operation Market Garden was mainly unopposed. But by the time the 10th battalion landed on the second day, a German SS unit was waiting for them and only 36 Paras escaped death or capture. Victor recalled recently: “As we approached the drop zone I think we were all quietly anxious, the Germans were firing at us and as we jumped some chaps were shot dead in the sky, it was awful. “Blokes were running around to find their mates and moving to forming-up points. But the Germans were relentless and many of our men were killed where they landed. The days that followed were horrendous, we were almost wiped As we jumped some chaps were shot dead in the sky... awful victor gregg on the 1944 battle of arnhem Service Para Victor out. We quickly ran out of ammunition and food and were forced to take supplies from those who had passed away, to make sure we could continue. “By day six my two mates on the gun with me were dead, we were exhausted, out of ammunition and finally captured and taken off to a prisoner of war camp.” He added: “We did our best.” Victor was born in London though for many years after the war he lived in Winchester, Hants. The dad-of-three’s marriage to Freda could not survive his wartime trauma. After the divorce he drove London buses then got married again, to Bett, who died recently. Several years ago Victor moved into a care home. Alec Wilson, head of the Friends of the Tenth Association, which honours the 10th Battalion, the Parachute regiment, said: “To the best of our knowledge, Vic is the ‘Last Man Standing’ of the Wartime Tenth... rIP brave warrior.” c.hughes@mirror.co.uk @defencechris grim British paratroopers fight in Dutch village of Oosterbeek BUY 100 FOR HALF PRICE Half-Price Dwarf Rockery Narcissi Mixed Create a carpet of beautiful spring flowers with our popular mixture of Dwarf Rockery Narcissi.

Run with Zeit Online in Germany, the project puts you together on a video call with someone from any one of 30 nations. To join, all you need to do is answer a few brief questions and our Europe Talks algorithm will do the rest. You’ll be matched with someone who thinks differently about the world as well as being from another European country. You then arrange your own meet-up by video call – and if you want to, you can tell us how you got on. Last year, as the UK reached the end of the EU transition period, we reached out to our nearest neighbours to pair 20,000 people across Europe, including 4,000 from the UK. This year, the number of media partners taking part in the project has doubled to 30. To kickstart Europe Talks 2021, we tracked down two of the people who made the most powerful contribution to ET2020 – frontline It was very nice to meet new people, especially someone in a different country sara martinez queved0, 11, on taking part in europe talks 2020 doctors Roberto Cosentini, an ICU director from Lombardy, Italy, and London junior doctor Shaan Sahota. When they met over Zoom a year ago, they bonded instantly over their traumatic experiences of treating ICU Covid patients. “It was such a privilege,” says Shaan, 32. “To hear this man that I have no connection with but who has this parallel experience, to hear what got it him through and how hard he’d found it, was very powerful.” Speaking between shifts at the Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital, in Bergamo, northern Italy, Roberto, 62, explained how Europe Talks had helped him. He said: “Sharing experience is something that belongs to our job and makes us feel useful not only for patients but also for our colleagues, it’s fundamental. “Even though we knew almost nothing about the disease, we treated patients. “People felt they were being cared for.” A year on, and things are still busy but less fraught for both medics. After caring for Covid patients through the UK’s second and third waves of the pandemic, Shaan, of Northwick Park Hospital, Harrow, North West London, is about to start studying for a tropical medicine diploma, allowing her to work as an international volunteer. She wrote a play that drew on her experience of looking after Covid patients, Under the Mask, which was performed earlier this year in London. She remembers finding Roberto’s words inspirational. Shaan said: “It was important for me to hear how overwhelming it was for someone have no connection with but who has a parallel experience, to hear what got him through and how hard it was, was very powerful of that level of expertise in the emergency department. How he felt having this sense of responsibility, ‘We have to teach the world what we’re learning’ but also just his recounting on a personal level of what they did to keep morale up. “I had not heard that, the idea they thanked each other, that was really moving.” Over in Bergamo, things are quieter, with a couple rather than hundreds of admissions a day. Still, Roberto thinks Italy is entering a fourth wave of the pandemic. Like Shaan, he managed to take a break over summer and spend time with the family he had been separated from. And both medics say they are finally feeling more optimistic about the future of public health. Speaking from Bangkok where she is visiting her actor partner, Shaan says: “I went back in for the terrible wave we had in January. That was quite intense. “We had more treatment, it was all geared up faster, it was less upsetting and confusing. “But it was hard, a lot of people died, and everyone was running on empty. “The vaccine has really transformed things. Even though numbers were going up in June and July, it wasn’t translating into as many people being really sick. It feels like the world is coming back.” Getting ready to head back to the ward, Roberto adds: “I think it will fade away, at least in Italy, where we’re going to vaccinate even more people. “Unless there will be some new, strong and virulent strain that will become resistant to vaccination, Covid will fade away within one year.” We also checked in on our two youngest participants from last year – British schoolgirl Rachael Chun, 13, and Spanish counterpart Sara Martinez Quevedo, 11. They discovered a shared love of books and frustration at being trapped in their tower-block homes in lockdown.

After 20 years, you’ve paid only £2,535, but your loved ones still receive the £3,025, or double in the case of accidental death.

DM1ST mirror.co.uk WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 33 DEAR COLEEN dearcoleen@mirror.co.uk your problems solved hubby Doesn’t know why he’s gone off sex Dear Coleen I’m a married woman in my late 30s and my sex life is virtually non-existent. I think we’ve done it three times in the past year, and even then my husband couldn’t drum up much enthusiasm. It wasn’t like this in the beginning – we’ve been together for seven years – but the passion has gradually gone over the past few, despite me trying to keep it alive. He says he loves me and he doesn’t really know why he’s not into sex any more. In all other respects our relationship is good. He’s also a good dad to our two children. Where do I go from here? Coleen says I don’t think a friendship is enough to sustain your marriage longterm, at least not for you. There could be a physical issue, which has affected his libido, and stress or depression can also have an impact on sex drive. You don’t say whether he’s been to see his GP, but obviously that would be a good idea to rule out a physical cause. I think talking to him, but not in a confrontational way, is crucial. You have to help him to understand how his lack of interest makes you feel and that friendship isn’t enough for you going forward. Make the conversation about trying to find solutions rather than apportioning blame. If he’d agree to it, I think psychosexual counselling would be a really good idea – you can find a private therapist through the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (bacp.co.uk). Devastated after husband said he no longer loves me Dear Coleen I’ve been with my husband for six years and we have two children aged two and four. He’d been distant for a while and then the other night after a few glasses of wine, he confessed that he wasn’t “in love” with me any more, even though he loves me and our kids. He cried and it was obviously difficult for him to admit to. He says there’s no one else involved, but he feels we’ve become friends instead of lovers, and that it’s not enough for him. Life is stressful with two young kids and we both work, so I’m convinced this has something to do with how he feels, but he doesn’t seem interested in looking for solutions. In his mind it’s over. We’re still living together, which is hard because I still love him and don’t want him to leave. I literally cry myself to sleep at night and feel completely devastated. Once the dust settles, do you think there’s a chance that we can work on our marriage? I just can’t believe he would end it without even trying to make things better. We used to have a really great you say I have some advice for the woman whose husband has cheated on her throughout their marriage (Dear Coleen, Oct 8) – please do something for yourself and get out of this.

Dear Coleen My younger sister is a single mum and our entire family have been very supportive of her. However, she’s starting to take all of us for granted, especially my wife. My sister constantly asks her to look after her son, sometimes with barely any notice, and it’s often so she can go out drinking with her mates. We have three children of our own, so it’s a lot to expect. My wife is a good person, so she can’t say no to her and just tells me to “leave it” – but it makes me mad. I had sympathy with my sister’s situation in the beginning, but I don’t think it’s right she expects all of us to constantly pick up the slack. I “I still love him and cry myself to sleep at night relationship and there was a lot of sexual chemistry – surely we can get that back? I’d love your opinion. Coleen says This is a sad situation for both of you. It must have taken some courage for him to speak out, as I’m sure he didn’t want to hurt you. If there’s still love there, then it’s not impossible to find a way forward, but he has to want to do it, and there’s always the option of relationship counselling to help you work out whether there’s anything to build on. Maybe a break from each other would help too. It could turn out to be the wake-up call your relationship needed. Having young children can also put a huge strain on a relationship, so don’t underestimate this as a possible contributing factor. It’s very difficult to find the space to be a couple and it’s exhausting and stressful. There’s little room for romance unless you make a conscious effort to fit it in.

Getting stuck in jams on the A303 at Stonehenge has been a rite of passage for children going on holiday to a Cornish beach ever since they built a road right next to a prehistoric monument. It’s not just the sheer weight of traffic on the single carriageway that causes the congestion, but also the fact that everyone slows down to gawp at the mystical ring of standing stones in the middle of Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. I never tire of seeing them. The first time I remember it was in the late 1970s in the back of an old Beetle being driven by my friend Ita’s mum and playing I Spy for so long, the landscape had changed. Next time I visited was on a school trip from London in the 1980s. Our coach took so long to get there, we’d scoffed our packed lunches and things were getting a bit Lord of The Flies in the back. If we hadn’t arrived when we did, I reckon several of the smallest kids would have been sacrificed. Then I visited the new visitor centre when it opened in 2013, and accidentally picked up a Japanese audio tour guide which added a certain out-of-body experience walking round the site. It certainly wouldn’t have been the first trip for the centre’s hippy visitors, many of whom still camp nearby after never going home from a wild summer solstice party in the 1960s. We don’t live far from the Stones these days, so I always have to build in extra time for our journeys and bring a few extra packets of crisps. Then me and The Dark Lord come up with silly stories to keep us amused in the jam. “Oh here we are again, stuck at the pile of ancient rubble that some druids left behind 5,000 years ago,” I’d quip. “You’d think that the Stone Age would clear up their mess instead of leaving it to future generations,” The Dark Lord would continue. “It wasn’t the Stone Age, it was the Waste Age.” Until finally we’d be on the move again. Then quite by chance I saw a photo of the stones taken in 1887 compared with today, and thought “that’s funny, we really did get the builders in to WELL STONE ME A mess fix them up in the in 1887 and tidied up now 1950s”.

36 DAILY MIRROR WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 DM1ST YOUR MONEY banner tagline Edited by TRICIA PHILLIPS By Harvey Jones Nobody likes completing their self-assessment tax return, but millions of us simply don’t have a choice in the matter. Every year, more than 12 million must fill in a tax return and file it with HM Revenue & Custom – and boy do we hate it. There are loads of reasons to delay submitting your tax return. It’s complicated, boring, time-consuming and when it’s over, you have to pay a bill. There is one overriding reason why you must comply though. It’s the law, and there are stringent penalties if you don’t. The first big deadline arrives on October 31, when the 1.3 million people who still submit a paper return must have sent it. Most taxpayers submit their return online now, and they have until January 31, 2022. James Hunt, tax adviser at ATC Tax, said tax returns will become more digitalised as the Government tries to simplify and streamline the system, so leave paper behind if you can. “It makes sense to get ahead of the curve and embrace digital sooner rather than later,” he says. That deadline will come around fast enough, so even if you do plan to file electronically, it’s a good time to start preparing the necessary information. Here’s what you need to know: Do I have to submit a return? The good news is that you will not usually need to send a return if your only income is from your wages or pension. However, you may need to send one if you have any other untaxed income, such as money from renting out a property, tips and commission, income from savings, investments and dividends held outside a tax-free Isa, and foreign income. The self-employed, company directors and those with varied sources of income on top of PAYE or a pension are most likely to send a form. If you didn’t submit a return for last year, you probably don’t need to do so again unless your circumstances have changed – say, you have started working for yourself, are now renting out a property or have made a large capital gain. There are no penalties for missing the October 31 deadline: it simply means you have no choice but to submit electronically. However, if you also miss the January 31 deadline for online returns, you face an automatic £100 penalty, with more to follow if you continue to delay. The pandemic messed up tax filing last year, with nearly 1.8 million missing the January 31 deadline. That’s almost double the 958,296 who missed the deadline last year. This time taxpayers have less of an excuse. HMRC has stopped sending out paper returns, so either download one from government portal gov.uk or apply for one to be posted. Take action now Don’t leave it to the last minute, warns Grace Taylor, accounts senior at the Take the pain out of filling in your tax return... you’ll face tough penalties if you fail to meet deadline Accountancy Partnership. “Nobody enjoys doing their tax return, but it is so important to start thinking about it well before the deadline to avoid fines and other complications which come with submitting late,” she says. And as deadlines loom, accountants get busier. “The later you leave it, the harder it will be to find someone with time to help,” she adds. To complete your tax return, you will need your Government Gateway login and Unique Taxpayer Reference, as well as all relevant accounts, receipts and paperwork. “Gather all this up before starting the return so you have everything easily accessible in one place,” she says. Incredibly, four in 10 small and medium-sized business owners are still using paper-based systems to keep accounts, while one in 10 stores essential documents loose in a drawer or shoebox, Accountancy Partnership research shows. Grace says: “If you have spent hours looking through drawers, desks and shoeboxes for these details, learn from your mistakes and implement a ‘‘ Don’t leave it to the last minute if you want to avoid fines and other complications system so that you won’t be floundering again next year.” If this is your first tax return, check out the self-assessment section at gov.uk, to understand what is required. “Seeking help from friends and family who are experienced in tax returns is also sensible,” she adds. “While finance can be daunting for many, asking for help is the best way to avoid fines and miscalculations. After a year of financial hardship, that’s the last thing that you need.” If you have claimed a Covid grant under the Self Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS), remember the money must be declared on your tax return. Gather your paperwork Melanie Hicks, tax partner at accountancy firm HW Fisher, says allow plenty of time to gather paperwork. “This includes your P60 which will confirm the total tax you have paid on your income. You will also need a record of benefits and expenses which can be found on your P11D or P9D forms. If you have left a job in the last tax year, you will also need a P45 from your previous employer.” Make sure you keep details of any pension contributions to allow you to claim the right tax relief for them. You will also need details of all your gift aid payments. “Have you sponsored a friend to run for charity? This can be included as HMRC provides some tax relief on charitable giving,” Hicks says. Once you have completed your tax return, make a copy and keep a proof of postage too. “If you are employed or a pensioner, please keep all paperwork for 22 months from the end of the tax year to which it relates to. If you are self-employed or letting a property, keep all paperwork for five years and 10 months.” Don’t forget the personal savings allowance can be applied to interest earned on your savings. Melanie says. “You could receive up to £5,000 in interest, tax-free.” Roll up your sleeves now Laurence Taylor, founder of social enterprise Easy ‘‘ HMRC says tax shouldn’t be taxing but has the most complex tax return in world as 123, says don’t be put off by all the jargon. “HMRC says tax shouldn’t be taxing but still manages to make this the most complicated tax return in the world, with lots of difficult words, double negative questions, and things that don’t apply to 99.9% of the population,” he says. You still have to tackle it though. “Take a deep breath, don’t panic, and reach out for advice if you get stuck – you won’t be alone.” Laurence says the good news is you may need fewer figures than you think. “If you are self-employed or have some investment income or income from property, HMRC will only need to see a few totals. “Try to use your actual bank transactions for your ins and outs so they will be correct and traceable.” Sort out any supplementary pages you may need, he adds. “If you’ve got income from several different places then go to gov.uk and download any relevant forms, such as SA102 (Employment) or SA105 (UK Property).” Laurence says you should also think ahead

Self-employed must avoid these costly errors Preparing your tax return is a pain, but it won’t get any better if you make simple mistakes. Here’s a list of the most costliest tax-filing errors that the self-employed make, according to onlinemoneyadvisor.co.uk, and how to avoid them. • Failing to claim all your expenses. Claim every expense you are entitled to, as many are easily missed. Keep track of all of your expenses throughout the year – it will make your life easier at tax return time. • Claiming the wrong expenses. Don’t claim too much. All expenses need to have been incurred exclusively for your business. If they were partly for private purposes, adjust the expense as a whole to reflect that. • Neglecting to declare all your income. If you receive taxable income from other sources outside your main business, tell HMRC. This could be money from renting out properties or having an Etsy store. Include it in the right section, as it will impact the amount of tax you pay. • Keep on top of your records. Plan ahead and develop a system to make sure your receipts and expenses can be found easily when you need them, not just shoved into bags. Here’s how your tax return could make you RICHER rather than poorer Sarah Coles, personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, says your tax return doesn’t just mean paying tax. “You may also be able to claim money back too,” she says. Here’s how: • Pensions tax relief. Pension contributions automatically attract tax relief at 20%. Higher rate taxpayers can claim another 20% via their tax return. Many don’t realise they can do this. Make sure you enter the gross value of contributions on your return, Sarah says. “This is both the money you paid in and tax relief at 20%.” • Remember Gift Aid. If you tick the Gift Aid box when giving to charity, you can reclaim 20% tax on your donation from the taxman. Higher rate or additional rate taxpayers can reclaim the rest of the tax through their tax return, Sarah says. “Less than a quarter bother to do it, but it can really add up,” she says. • Decide if you should claim flat-rate expenses. If you’re a sole trader and use your home or car for work, you can either calculate what you spend for work purposes, or claim a flat rate. “Use the simplified expenses checker at gov.uk/simplified-expenses-checker to see which option is better for you.” • Divide joint accounts. If you have a joint stocks and shares account, you should split the total dividends and capital gains by the number of account holders, and only put your share on your tax return. • Don’t overlook other expenses. If you subscribe to magazines or newspapers for work, you can claim these as expenses. You can also apply for any clothing you use exclusively for work, such as clothes with your work logo on, uniforms and protective garments. “Sadly this doesn’t include suits,” Sarah says. • Correct previous mistakes. If you have made a mistake in the past four years, you can claim a refund. Write to HMRC saying you’re making a claim for “overpayment relief”, include proof, a signed declaration saying details are correct, and outline how you want the repayment to be made.

DM1ST 38 DAILY MIRROR WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 your money EXPERT hElP for you How to leave wealth to your kids... and not the taxman By Harvey Jones BRITONS hate inheritance tax with a vengeance, but the bad news is that more and more of us will be paying it as the charge becomes increasingly punitive. In his March budget, Chancellor Rishi Sunak froze IHT inheritance tax allowances until 2026, which will drag more middle-Britons into the net every year until then. HM Revenue & Customs is already collecting record amounts of IHT, with revenues topping £6billion last year for the first time – a rise of more than £1billion in just 12 months. Many fear Sunak will target IHT again in his Autumn Budget on October 27, and tax experts are warning people to reduce exposure if they feel they may get caught out. You can reduce a potential IHT bill by making gifts to family members using your annual exemptions, but this will only remove relatively small sums from the clutches of HMRC. Some families take IHT planning to the next level by setting up a trust, and one couple reckons they have saved £100,000 as a result, which they can pass on to their loved ones. This is more complicated and requires specialist advice, but is it something you should consider? Take specialist advice Trust planning allows you to keep control of your assets while potentially reducing your IHT bill. Assets held in trust, such as property or shares, do not form part of your estate for IHT purposes, provided you live for seven years after placing them into trust. Trusts are complicated, so you will need to take specialist tax and financial planning advice, and should also keep an eye on the costs as they can be pricey to set up and run. Brighton couple Vic and Carole Saxby are delighted with their decision to use trust planning to reduce their IHT liability. The couple, who have been married more than 60 years, put a £120,000 lump sum into an inheritance tax trust in June 2006, using the WAY trust, which is a flexible family wealth protection scheme. Their investment has now more than doubled to £246,000, and none will be subject to IHT when they die. Wise protection Vic, 82, a retired food sales manager, was so pleased with this investment that in May 2013 he decided to invest a further £102,000 through a second WAY trust. This has surged to £170,000 today. It is now more than seven years since they set up the second trust, so all of this money has fallen out of their estate for inheritance tax. Vic reckons this is one of his best financial decisions he has made. “We have moved a total of £222,000 into these trusts and now have £416,000 available for our family, completely free of IHT.” The couple have two children and five grown-up grandchildren, and Vic is delighted to have protected them from the “government’s IHT grab”. tHrilled Carole and Vic have saved £100,000 Triple whammy WAY chairman Paul Wilcox says more families can benefit from trust planning, just like Vic and Carole. He says there are three reasons why “the spectre of IHT” is spooking more and more UK families. He says: “First, the nil-rate band of £325,000, which is the amount you can pass on free before IHT is charged at 40 per cent, has not risen since 2009. “Second, estate values have risen due to high stock market returns and spiralling ‘‘ Assets held in trust, such as shares, do not form part of your estate for IHT purposes property values,” Wilcox adds. “Lastly, most UK wealth is owned by the over-60s, who have sadly suffered more deaths than usual due to Covid. I expect this triple tax whammy to continue into 2022.” Check the costs A number of specialist advisers offer IHT planning services, and you can choose from a range of different trusts, with bare trusts the simplest, and discretionary gift trusts highly popular. Consumer champion Which? says whether a trust is the right course of action depends on your personal circumstances. In some cases, you may have to pay an upfront tax charge, while the trustees will charge to manage the trust, and there are other legal costs too. So check all of the fees to weigh up if the benefits outweigh the expenses. Don’t delay IHT planning is complicated, but there are no benefits to waiting. Laura Tommis, trust manager at ZEDRA, warned that IHT exemptions and allowances such as business property relief may all be tightened in future, even if Sunak does not act this month. “It is best to look at how to make full use of reliefs available now, rather than delaying matters,” she says. Mark Giddens, partner at UHY Hacker Young, says IHT planning is more important than ever as families risk forking out an evergreater share of their wealth to HMRC. “IHT was originally supposed to affect only the super-rich but is increasingly hitting middle England.” Sunak is under huge pressure due to pandemic bailouts and a second IHT raid cannot be ruled out. “The pandemic has led to record peacetime borrowing, and the Treasury will be looking to balance the books any way it can,” says Giddens. He urged families to take action now to ensure they can pass the fruits of their labour to their children, rather than the taxman.

Mercuriadis said: “This new partnership with Blackstone will deliver financial strength to invest in proven songs.” The pandemic and a lack of live concerts has prompted artists, including Bob Dylan, to make money from their back catalogues. down 16.6 at 7130.2 Oil = $83.22 HSBC ..........................................429.0 -1.8 Imperial Brands .................. 1536.0 +9.0 International Airlines Grp . 175.9 -6.1 ITV ................................................102.6 -1.6 JD Sports ............................... 1029.0 +3.0 Kingfisher ................................325.7 -0.2 Land Securities .....................699.8 +9.0 Legal & General ......................281.9 -2.3 Lloyds ...........................................48.5 +0.6 Marks & Spencer ....................176.7 +3.9 Morrison ...................................285.1 -0.3 National Grid ..........................889.9 +3.0 NatWest Group ......................229.8 -1.2 Next ...........................................7518.0 -104.0 Ocado ...................................... 1649.5 +84.0 Pearson ....................................733.4 -11.2 Persimmon...........................2565.0 +8.0 Prudential .............................1458.0 -30.0 Reckitt ....................................5505.0 +53.0 RELX .........................................2150.0 -5.0 Rentokil Initial .......................589.0 +3.2 Rio Tinto ................................5005.0 -96.0 Rolls-Royce ..............................143.9 -1.6 Royal Dutch Shell B .............1741.8 +1.8 Royal Mail ................................408.3 -3.3 J Sainsbury .............................294.7 +1.0 SSE .............................................1575.0 +20.5 Severn Trent ........................2632.0 +19.0 capacity – the number of flights it is operating – is expected to be up to 70% of 2019 levels during the winter months.

In a trading update to the City, easyJet confirmed the pandemic slump in passenger numbers would mean it lost between £1.14bn and £1.18bn in the year to the end of September.

This leaves Will fearing that it’s only a matter of time before the body is discovered. Paddy agrees to take part in the survival event with Marlon. Meanwhile, Manpreet is horrified when Rishi reveals that he’s got a tattoo to demonstrate his devotion to her. He’s left heartbroken when Manpreet reveals that she doesn’t love him anymore. DEMANDING Sabeen keeps up questions about Harvey CORONATION STREET ITV, 7.30pm and 8.30pm Imran is struggling as he tries to cope with Sabeen’s increasing demands for information about Harvey, as well as the arrival of a foster child.

In the Daily Mirror Saturday killer instinct As Super Soap Week makes a dramatic return, Emmerdale’s evil Meena has murder on her mind 16 OCTOBER 2021 CYBER SCANDAL Jason Watkins stars in new conspiracy thriller The Trick All the new shows, soap news and 7-day listings More TV and film news online at mirror.co.uk/tv Pick of the day STUNNED Police examine lorry carrying dead migrants, below How cargo-of-death gang were nailed WORRIED Mum Helen puts her affair on hold HOLLINGTON DRIVE ITV, 9pm This stylish thriller continues, with plenty of curtain-twitching from designer kitchens in a posh cul-de-sac. At the end of the last episode we learned that schoolboy Alex died on the Saturday night, not the Sunday morning as everyone had believed. This meant 10-year-old cousins Ben and Eva couldn’t have committed the murder. In the meantime, their mums Theresa (Anna Maxwell Martin) and Helen (Rachael Stirling) have realised that, oops, they probably shouldn’t have bothered implicating some random man for no reason to protect their little darlings. Now the pressure is getting to Theresa as the police make their first arrest. With the vigil for Alex approaching, Helen puts her affair with Gareth (Jonas Armstrong) on hold – she can’t take any risks with so many people watching. As the Broadchurch-style mystery takes hold, everyone in the community is a suspect. And as Theresa attempts to resume normal life, Ben throws a spanner in the works... PORTRAIT ARTIST OF THE YEAR SKY ARTS, 8pm As artists compete for a £10,000 commission and nationwide glory, it’s all completely mesmerising to watch. Stephen Mangan and Joan Bakewell host as amateur and professional artists compete to paint celebrated violinist Nicola Benedetti for the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. It’s a serious business, as expert judges Tai-Shan Schierenberg, Kathleen Soriano and Kate Bryan talk about things like “restraint of the palette” and “glorious symbolism”. HUNTING THE ESSEX LORRY KILLERS BBC2, 9pm JUST after midnight on October 23, 2019, a lorry driver collected a container from Purfleet ferry port on the Thames. Inside were 39 Vietnamese migrants, who all died excruciating deaths, suffocating during the fatal trip from Belgium in temperatures hitting 40C. The victims had tried to escape and made final, desperate phone calls to family. This compelling documentary follows how a 999 call from the lorry driver in Essex ended in one of the UK’s biggest ever police investigations. Spanning Britain, Europe and Vietnam, the probe cracked open a multi-million pound international people smuggling ring with its roots in a haulage business in Northern Ireland. With exclusive access to Essex Police files, including shocking bodycam footage and interviews with suspects and officers, it shows how detectives pieced together the evidence. It all starts with that 1am call from the driver who said he thought his trailer was empty, but heard a noise and opened it to find dozens of people dead. Four men, including this driver, were later jailed for manslaughter. PC Jack Emerson, first responder to the horrifying scene, says: “There were three or four seconds of just trying to process what we were seeing. No one knew what to say.” Also telling the human stories, filmmakers travel to Vietnam to meet some of the relatives of the victims – all desperate people hoping for a better life in the UK. Nguyen Thi Hong, whose husband Bui Phan Thang died in the container, says: “We were struggling. He said, ‘Daddy doesn’t want to leave mummy and the three children’. “But we knew if he didn’t go, life would always be hard.” But in a nod to keeping us mere mortals intrigued, there’s a line-up of celebs waiting to be painted – including Daniel Mays, Philip Glenister and Kelly Macdonald. In this heat, the artists paint singer songwriter Gabrielle, Wolf Hall and Queen’s Gambit actor Jacob Fortune- Lloyd, and model and TV presenter Grace Neutral – known for her tattoos and body modifications, including pixie ears and belly button removal. At the end, there’s the big reveal and each celeb gets to pick one portrait to take home, before the judges pick the semi-finalists. POSING Jacob Fortune-Lloyd

Wispa, 10, was rescued after being found wandering the streets here in the UK and Maisie, four, was rescued from Spain last year. She was a bundle of nerves at first but with the reassurance of her big sister Wispa, they have developed a beautiful relationship. We are so lucky to have such happy, friendly hounds that mean the absolute world to all of us.

You can have your say and vote at mirror.co.uk Brexit Secretary Lord Frost wants the EU to scrap its looming ban on British chilled meats entering Northern Ireland amid a so-called “sausage war” over the Northern Ireland Protocol which is designed to prevent a hard border in Ireland. Do you trust Frost to get a good deal? YES 17% Yes. Lord Frost is right to stand up for Britain. This could reignite the problems in Northern Ireland. Surely no one wants this? Harry Prince No. We’re relying on the man who negotiated the “oven ready” deal to argue his deal isn’t working and the EU must renegotiate. Dear me. Gillian melrose NO 83% No. He overestimated his ability to bully the EU and what everyone said would happen has happened. He should leave it for someone who does understand the issues. cHristine ace Yes. I hope Frosty puts the arrogant, bullying and childish EU lot in their place.

Better served by golden TV How wonderful to see your spread on the golden era of TV sitcoms in Saturday’s Big Read. I can happily say I watched all the series’ mentioned, including Are You Being Served?, Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em and Dad’s Army – and still occasionally do when they are repeated. Modern television, despite having many more channels, can’t entertain me for more than two to three hours a week. If only we had the talent to produce such programmes in this modern era. David Wathen, Leicester Tories’ idea taxes belief ■If ■ Johnson and the Tories are serious about wanting a high-wage, low-tax economy, they have the perfect opportunity to show it by giving the NHS and care sector a 20% pay rise which would encourage British candidates to take the jobs and stop the service having to employ staff from abroad. Johnson would be the first Tory in history who wanted to up the wages of the peasants – his rhetoric is just a smoke screen. Bernard Rowley, Keighley West Yorks Tweet of the day Labour’s Dr Rosena Allin- Khan reacts to a report by MPs into the Government’s response to the pandemic... @DrRosena – ‘Learning lessons’ will ease no pain for the families of people who unnecessarily lost their lives to Covid early last year. It was a political decision to delay lockdown, an abject failure from Government. It meant that thousands died needlessly. ■Yet ■ again this lame duck Prime Minister jets off to sunny climbs while leaving the country in chaos. Every time there is a crisis, Boris runs and hides, crossing his fingers in the hope that when he returns everything will be OK.

He became the recordequalling owner of three Grand National winners, Hedgehunter (2005), Ballabriggs (2011) and Many Clouds (2015), along with Noel Le Mare, the owner of Red Rum. For someone that adored jump racing, Hemmings ironically celebrated his first winner on the Flat, Northern Trust at Bath in 1985. He was the ultimate workingclass hero who never forgot his roots. After making a fortune in building Hemmings was the majority stakeholder of Center Parcs and owned Blackpool’s famous tower. Donald McCain, responsible for Ballabrigg’s success in the National, said: “He’s been a wonderful man for me and a lot of other trainers.” Sir Anthony McCoy, the 20-times champion jump jockey, said: “I’m very proud to have worn his iconic colours on many wonderful days. He was a great friend to many but a greater friend to our sport.” Oliver Sherwood the trainer of Many Clouds, said: “He was Mr Aintree, wasn’t he? “I can honestly say I would never have won a Grand National without Trevor Hemmings because I thought it was a year too soon for Many Clouds. He said you might as well have a crack at it because if it’s not this year I might not be around next year. It was a remarkable day and one I’ll never forget for as long as I live.” Along with racehorses, Hemmings also owned Preston North End Football Club. Zara Phillips partnered Hemmings’s High Kingdom, known as ‘Trev’ in recognition of his rider’s fondness for his owner, to take silver at the 2012 London Olympic Games. The fittingly named Cloth Cap gave the great man, who always had a twinkle in his eye, one of his most recent notable victories in last season’s Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury.

The Huddersfield Giants teenager exploded onto the scene this year, scoring six tries in 13 appearances after making his debut against Catalans in July. His rapid rise has seen him called into the Knights squad to face Jamaica for Jordan Turner’s testimonial match on Friday, and Pryce admits it’s a scenario he could not have imagined at the start of the campaign. “I just wanted to play one or two Super League games and get my confidence up,” he explained. “But the trust that Watto (Giants coach Ian Watson) put in me at the start of the year has really helped me out, and I’ve managed to put myself out there and get this opportunity. “I’m more than grateful for it and I wasn’t expecting it. “Watto and Luke Robinson have both really helped me with video sessions, studying, and teaching me game management. “This has been my dream since I was three or four watching my dad play every week.” Mention of dad golf new rule to rein in long hitters Leon (below) provides a direct link with the 18-year-old’s current environment.

It’s deja vu now with them coaching me. “They were a really close-knit group back then and ‘Baloo’ (Anderson) played with my dad at Bradford as well. “He’s been really good with me and all the boys since we’ve come in. “It’s a good group, and him and Scully are able to talk to us on a personal level, which is brilliant for us as players. “Then, when it’s time to go out onto the field and switch on, we understand the professionalism we have to have. “Our main focus is to get the job done on Friday night.” Jamaica, who have qualified for the World Cup for the first time, have named a strong squad for the clash, including Pryce’s Giants team-mates Ashton Golding and Michael Lawrence. ■ THe senior england side’s Test match against France in Perpignan on October 23 will be played without scrums, following discussions between the RFL and French Federation. mick’s driving club roW By neil mcleman PHIL MICKELSON faces a ban from the long driver which won him the US PGA from next year under a new ‘local rule’. Golf’s rule-makers said top-level events will have the option to limit the length of a club, excluding putters, to 46 inches from 48 inches from January 1. The Majors – including the Open – and the PGA and European Tours, must decide whether to use the rule. Bryson DeChambeau (left) experimented with a 48-inch driver in the run-up to the 2020 Masters but claimed he has no problem with a possible change. But Mickelson said the rules change was “pathetic”.

DM1ST mirror.co.uk/sport WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 49 boxing exclusive By david anderson @MirrorAnderson MAKING her pro debut on the undercard of ‘The Money Fight’ between new promoter Floyd Mayweather Jnr and Conor McGregor should have been the perfect start. Yet that evening in August 2017 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas did not go as planned for Savannah Marshall. Marshall fought in front of an empty arena before missing one of the biggest fights of all time because of a mix-up over tickets. “I was on at about 4 o’clock and there were about 10 people in the arena,” she said after a training session at Hughie Fury’s gym. “They didn’t even play any ring walk music! That’s the other side of it. “I got three tickets and I gave them to my mam, my dad and my sister. “After I won and got back to the changing rooms, within about 10 minutes there were bouncers at the door, saying ‘you need to leave because you don’t have a ticket’. “I rang my manager and he said ‘I gave you three tickets’. I said I gave them to my mam, my dad and my sister and he said ‘no, they were for you and your two coaches’. “I got escorted out of the building, so I didn’t even see the main event. My mam, dad and sister were sat there all night even though they don’t really like boxing.” That experience summed up her disappointing time with Mayweather and she returned to Britain a few weeks later. “I trained for three fights, but all three of them fell through,” she recalls. “I spent more than I earned. In the end, I couldn’t afford to stay there and came back.” Marshall, 30, teamed-up with trainer Peter Fury (below) and beat Hannah Rankin for the vacant WBO middleweight title a year ago. The Hartlepool fighter, who incredibly has no kit supplier, makes her second defence against Zambian Lolita Muzeya at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on Saturday and has her old rival Claressa Shields in her sights. Marshall is the only person to beat the selfproclaimed GWOAT – G r e a t e s t Woman Of All Time – and defeated her in 2012 on her way to becoming the first British woman to triumph at the world amateur championships (bottom pic, far right). Shields has claimed two Olympic golds and world titles at three different weights and is desperate to avenge that loss. They should finally meet because they a r e b o t h part of Sky Sports Boxing’s new stable and Marshall says the American is insecure. Marshall, unbeaten on 10-0, said: “She’s very hot-headed. I think she projects her insecurities. If someone mentions Claressa Shields to me, I’ll say brilliant boxer, I’d love to get it on with her. “But when you mention me to her, all hell breaks loose. She starts effing and jeffing!

HIV were three letters that conjured up one chilling image. That of a tombstone. Thomas, a man of iron on the rugby field in his decorated career with Wales and the Lions, dissolved as the diagnosis was passed on. “My initial thought was that I was going to die,” he said. “It was a dead-end moment where I didn’t see a future. Your motivation stops, your will to continue stops – everything just ends. “There was a massive sense of loneliness. There was also a massive sense of shame. Not just shame on myself, but the shame I would potentially leave my family with. “I wondered how was I going to be able to tell everyone else that I’m going to die and die of HIV. “I was this person who very much loved my mother and father, and they very much loved me, and were very proud of what I had achieved. How were they going to be able to handle being called the mother and father of Gareth Thomas, the guy who died of HIV? “It was very bleak. Very dark.” The stone monolith that had been the hammer-blow centrepiece of the government’s health information campaign around the virus in 1987 now had his name etched upon it. “Everybody knew about HIV as a killer,” he said. “Everybody knew about HIV as the ‘gay plague’ or something that affected black African men and women. That was all we had been exposed to. “I didn’t know anything about it because I’d never been told anything about it.” At that moment Thomas’s scrambled mind was blocking out the other message doctors were giving him, the more informed and up-to-date one. He was not a dead man walking. Two years on, he is still very much alive. On Sunday he ran the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London, as part of his Tackle HIV campaign, with a team of supporters that included former team-mate Shane Williams and Olympic gold medallist Sally Gunnell. He is not some sporting superhero defeating the odds – just promoting the reality of the virus today. “The science has progressed more quickly than people’s opinions,” he said. “The fear around transmission and some of the crazy myths are what we are trying to break. “That’s not an easy process but for us as a team to have people who are living with HIV, and those who aren’t, doing exactly the same thing together is showing that HIV is no longer something that can affect your physical ability or ambition. I am what “Everybody knew about HIV as a killer – the ‘gay plague’ or something that affected black African men and women. That was all we had been exposed to” living with HIV looks like in 2021.” Talking to his parents was also a chance to take control. “I was able to talk to them and educate them,” he said. “I, as someone living with HIV, take a single tablet a day, therefore I’m not at risk of transferring HIV to anyone. “I have a normal life expectancy. I’m OK, and more importantly, everyone around me is safe and OK. “Forty years ago was the first case in the UK of HIV. It is so different now. There’s nothing to fear, there’s nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed of.” At 47, and settled with his husband Stephen in Bridgend, the roars of the Principality Stadium as he crossed the line for Wales have faded. But the memories he is making now, running to raise awareness, mean more. “The medals were nice, but in 100 years, they will be selling on A n t i q u e s Roadshow for 20 pence,” he added. “As much as I loved those moments – they were the greatest moments of my life at the time because I didn’t know what was to come – being cheered for representing something that affects millions of people is far more rewarding.” 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.

That is the message for Eddie Jones delivered by former Red Rose stars Topsy Ojo (right, bottom) and David Flatman (right, top). Smith (above) came off the bench for Harlequins against Bristol on Friday and in his first game of the season turned a 21-0 deficit into a 52-24 win. It continued a stunning 2021 in which he steered Quins to the Premiership title and was picked by both England and the Lions. On Monday Jones names his squad for the autumn and all eyes are on whether he keeps the 22-year old in the No.10 shirt, with Owen Farrell and George Ford now available. Ojo and Flatman argue that with Smith on fire and England two years out from the World Cup, the time is right to give him his shot. “It’s a very similar feel to Danny,” said Ojo, recalling how Cipriani exploded on the scene as a teenager and was winning matches for England at 20. “Someone that young, that talented, warranting a starting place at his club almost straight out of school. You don’t see that, especially in the fly-half position. “We’re all excited to see what Marcus can deliver. If we’re looking at who’s exciting, who do we want to watch, who’s potentially going to take England to the next level, he’s one of those you want to look at. “We’ve seen him against USA and Canada, but can he do it with 80,000 at Twickenham? More eyes, more pressure. Let’s expose him now, let’s see where he’s at.” Flatman added: “Marcus is running rings round people on a weekly basis that we know to be top of the range. He writes his own scripts and he’s potentially a phenomenon. “He is better than anyone else at the moment. There’s more razzle dazzle in him than we’ve seen from anybody in a long time. “Cipriani was similar. What we see from Smith we feel and we hope could last a rugby generation in an England jersey. So please pick him. I’m a rugby fan and I’m desperate to watch him.” ■ Amazon Prime Video will exclusively broadcast 17 Autumn Nations Series matches live in October and November 2021.

52 DAILY MIRROR WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 TENNIS EMMA HELPS TO FIND NEW SLAM STARS By Neil McleMaN EMMA RADUCANU will have a say on spending money from her US Open triumph to find future female Grand Slam champions. Amazon Prime Video sold the rights to the Flushing Meadows final to Channel 4 for a “seven-figure sum” to allow 9.2million viewers to see her historic triumph (above). Amazon pledged to donate the fee to British tennis, and Raducanu, who passed her maths and economics A levels this summer, will help to decide the investment strategy for the next generation of female British stars. Alex Green, managing director of Prime Video Sport in Europe, said: “Emma has a unique insight into what’s needed to help young women tennis players rise to the top and we are going to be sitting down with her. “She knows she is a role model and can have a future beneficial impact, particularly for young girls thinking of taking up sports seriously.” The money is in addition to the £30.5m investment announced by the government and the LTA to improve park courts in a bid to take advantage of the extraordinary popularity and achievements of the 18-year-old. Andy Murray has previously criticised the LTA for wasting his legacy. And Green added: “This is a rare, rare moment and we do need to capitalise on it.” Raducanu lost in her first match since New york at the BNP Paribas Open and has yet to decide if she will play in the Kremlin Cup next week. But her fellow US Open champion Joe Salisbury (above) claims the tennis world does not have “big expectations” for the British No.1 for the rest of the season, and she could be suffering from a recent lack of motivation, like him. Salisbury, who won the men’s and mixed doubles titles in New york, said: “I don’t think the players and coaches had big expectations for her in this tournament and other tournaments for the rest of the year. “I’m thinking maybe motivation could be a factor coming off that high.

DM1ST CriCket world t20 Countdown STarTS SuNday It’s not over tIl It’s over! Jordan reveals England take NOTHING for granted any more after 2016 when Brathwaite mugged them in World Cup final By deaN wilsoN Cricket correspondent @CricketMirror CHRIS JORDAN has admitted he never allows himself to enjoy that winning feeling until the game is officially over after learning his lesson the hard way. Jordan had got ahead of himself after bowling the 19th over in the World T20 final in 2016 and handing Ben Stokes the job of defending 19 from the last over. Like most others in the ground, he thought the game was as good as won, until Carlos Brathwaite popped up with four consecutive sixes (right) to rip the trophy out of England’s grasp. It was the toughest experience for Jordan and his team-mates to go through, but he insists they have become stronger and wiser for it. “We tend to have a laugh about it now,” Jordan said. “I bowled that over under what was quite immense pressure. “When I bowled a dot ball on that final ball, it definitely did feel a lot closer than it ended up. “That’s part of the learning, part of having that experience because having that feeling after that ball is something where I’ll never take myself to that place ever again. “We definitely came out stronger for it as a unit and a team and I definitely won’t be thinking that way after bowling the 19th over until it is fully, fully over.” As painful as that final-over heist was for Stokes and England, Jordan is adamant the lessons learned have been put to good use since then. “One of the things that sticks out to me is how quickly that last over went,” he added. “And then I remember going into a few games after that, when we did get in those situations a lot more, we just started to slow the game down a bit so that the decisionmaking was much clearer. “Then you saw that going into the 2019 World Cup. The team was on autopilot. “Any situation, you saw the game started to slow down a little bit, and everyone came up with an informed and correct decision. The team having been together for so long, the chemistry is there, the talent is there. All the ingredients are there for us to make a decent run in this campaign as well.” Jordan is certain to be at the heart of it as one of skipper Eoin M o r g a n’s m o s t trusted lieutenants and as England’s highest T20 wickettaker. The 33-yearold’s experience and knowledge are invaluable to the side and he is happy to pass it on. “On a day-to-day basis, I try to lend a helping hand and be there for anyone who needs me,” he said. “I have had the privilege of seeing so many different surfaces and experiencing quite a few different things, so I try to bounce my ideas as much as possible at Morgy if he needs me.” LANGER INVOKES CANTONA WITH A POET’S WISDOM FOR PLAYERS By deaN wilsoN AUSSIE coach Justin Langer has gone ‘Eric Cantona’ by quoting a Lebanese-Canadian poet to his players. The embattled Langer (left) had showdown talks with senior players in August over his intense coaching style that had split the Aussie dressing room. The idea was for Langer to become a less abrasive character in the team environment, but that appears to be the last thing he is planning on doing if his post is anything to go by. Embracing the bizarre nature of Cantona’s (right) infamous ‘When seagulls follow the trawler’ speech, Langer posted an extract from a piece by Najwa Zebian – ‘A Taste of Your Own Medicine’. Langer wrote: “A wise man once said: Don’t give them a taste of your own medicine. If they lied, let their medicine be honesty. If they played with your emotions, let your medicine be maturity. If they broke you, let your medicine heal you. If they made you cry, let your medicine make them smile. These remedies of yours may take years to work, but they work. And they last. “So be patient. Stay true to yourself... you are worthy of being valued for who you are. So be who you are.”

The 21-year-old has scored three goals in his last five games for club and country, including the winner against Andorra for England Under-21s on Monday. Smith Rowe says he loves the confidence and responsibility Arteta is giving him – and the extra finishing sessions. He is hoping to earn a senior call from Gareth Southgate if he keeps up his current progress, despite the riches England have in the attacking department. Smith Rowe said: “The coaches at Arsenal have been helping me so much. That is really important for my game – creating and scoring. “I have been working on it and I want to push forward. “The boss has spoken to us and given us so much confidence to stay calm. We know we’re going to be getting into these positions. We’ve got to stay as calm as possible and just focus on the goal. “We’ve been practising a lot in training, after training and we get the support from the experienced players in the team as well, they’re always helping us.” On the praise he has been getting recently, Smith Rowe said: “I try not to think about it too much. Being a young player at Arsenal, I am really happy playing. I never feel pressure. “I just try to be confident in myself and I have the starlet’s mission EmilE’s got his art sEt on goals Smith Rowe hails Gunners boss for form in the penalty area and targets senior England call-up eMIle’s AheAD Smith Rowe says Mikel Arteta finishing sessions have helped him and his goal won it for the U-21s on Monday players and the support around me.” But he is also ambitious and keen to become a full international. Southgate has sung his praises and he added: “I feel grateful he is speaking about me like that in a really positive way. “I have to work hard, keep my head down and I know the opportunity will come – and I will be ready for it. It is always an honour to represent my country, whatever level it is. The seniors have a really strong team at the moment, so I always know it is going to be difficult. “For me, I’ve just got to keep my head down and stay focused and keep doing what I am doing, then, hopefully, I’ll get that opportunity in the future.” Arsenal team-mate Bukayo Saka is already in the senior squad and Smith Rowe added: “I am so proud of Bukayo, he is playing really well for Arsenal and England. As a team, we look up to him. We are close. “I feel that we are really coming together at Arsenal as a team, it is like a family and that has also helped us off the pitch. “The manager helps us every day and we just have to work hard now and get good results.” free role Johnstone can move for nothing in summer Sam worth cashing-in By DAVe ArMITAGe WEsT BROm are in a £10million dilemma over whether to cash in on England goalkeeper sam Johnstone.

But they had an amicable conversation with the 60-year-old on Monday and have not rushed the expected decision, despite advisors believing Bruce should go as early as today. they have to weigh up whether keeping Bruce in a lame-duck holding position is palatable in the short term, if it creates less pressure on their newly-launched managerial search. Rafa Benitez was the consortium’s ready-made club-builder 18 months ago when they agreed a price, but now they have to start from scratch to get the right man in – as well as fork out for Bruce’s seven-figure pay-off. the Newcastle squad have been lifted by the excitement, but there is said to be an awkward atmosphere in the camp with Bruce’s sacking expected. that doesn’t sound like a sustainable position, ahead of a crunch run of games before the next international break, including trips to crystal Palace and Brighton and a home game with chelsea. Bruce’s long goodbye is reminiscent of steve Mcclaren’s week of purgatory waiting for the axe as Benitez agreed terms at st James’ Park in March 2016. leicester boss Rodgers is the bookies’ favourite to replace Bruce, with Rangers manager steven Gerrard (above), Belgium chief Roberto Martinez (top), and the out-of-work trio of lucien Favre, Frank lampard and eddie Howe, also under consideration. magic mo must sign for life & beat my record switching stadiums wouldn’t work out for wales By Neil SquireS Ian Rush insists Wales should resist the temptation to switch their blockbuster World Cup qualifier with Belgium next month to the Principality stadium. Monday’s win over Estonia has left Wales needing four points from their remaining matches against Belarus and Belgium to guarantee they finish second in their group and ensure they make the play-offs. Both games are at home with the Belgium clash – on Tuesday, november 16 – a potential decider which could fill the Cardiff City stadium twice over. But Rush argues it would be a mistake to switch the tie against the world’s no.1-ranked nation. The former Wales striker said: “It would be absolutely amazing if it was played there – a sell-out like the old days when we played there – but Wales players are used to playing at Cardiff in front of 30,000 crowds. “If they moved it to the Principality stadium, even though it would be in front of 70,000, it could help Belgium more than Wales. I think they would be better off sticking where they are.” The Principality stadium was last used by Wales three years ago when the visit of spain pulled in a crowd of 50,232 for a friendly.

But Rush, who spent a season at st James’ Park in 1997/8, believes that would be a mistake with no upgrade to the squad possible until the January transfer window opens. “If you get rid of steve and get someone else in, they could have a problem,” said Rush. “Newcastle can still be relegated. with steve, they might not finish in the top half but they won’t be relegated. “they will be trying to bring in top-class players in January but they won’t be used to relegation battles. they are fighting for their lives and need steve in a situation like that. they have to be careful.” By Neil SquireS Mo Salah has been urged to commit to liverpool for the rest of his career by anfield legend Ian Rush and take a shot at his all-time goalscoring record.

But Rush says Liverpool must tie down a player who he rates as currently the best footballer on the planet. “If you are Jurgen Klopp you want him to sign,” said Rush. “Any club in the world would be interested in Mo Salah at the moment. I want him at Liverpool for the next four or five years. “Hopefully, there is a deal to be done where Mo and the owners are happy. “He is a legend anyway because he has scored 100 goals for the club, but I think he can go on to even better things. For me, he is the best player in the world at the moment. “Yes, Ronaldo has come in and done well for Manchester United and Messi is just getting to grips with Paris Saint-Germain but with the way he is playing, Salah is better than both of them. He has upped his game this year. “People say he is selfish, but look at the assist for Sadio M a n e against Manchester City – he is making goals as well as scoring them now. That, for me, is the big difference. He knows now when to pass and when to shoot. “And when he shoots it is off either foot now. Two years ago he wouldn’t have scored that goal against City with his right foot, but defenders now don’t know which way he will go. “He is absolutely fantastic.” Liverpool will have to make Salah the highest-paid player at the club by some distance if they want to keep him, but Rush does not see that as an issue so long as the Egypt striker is delivering. “Players do talk about it – it’s only human – but if a player is doing his bit on the pitch there is no problem,” said Rush (above). Salah, 29, stands 10th on Liverpool’s goalscoring list, but Rush’s tally of 346 goals in 660 games for the club remains one of modern-day English football’s greatest landmarks. “When I look at my record now I can’t believe it myself !” added Rush. “To score 346 goals was amazing. “I’m very proud of the record, but I’m a great believer that records are there to be beaten and if someone does it good luck to them. “If Mo beats that I’ll be first to congratulate him, but I’m not too sure if that will happen.” ■Ian ■ Rush is a Gambling.com ambassador.

The 6ft 5in Cardiff frontman will now miss Wales’ crucial penultimate World Cup qualifier at home to Belarus next month. Moore, who made his international debut in 2019, took his tally for Wales to seven after scoring the only goal in Estonia on Monday night. But he has more yellow cards after amassing nine in 23 appearances. He has often attracted unwanted attention from GIVE IT THE ELBOW Kieffer Moore scored Wales’ winner (below) but a yellow card spoiled his night referees for his dominant aerial style, which saw him also go in the book in the 2-2 draw in the Czech Republic last week. In a bid to avoid scrutiny from referees, Moore is now even trying to head the ball without using his arms for leverage. “It is frustrating,” admitted Moore. “It is not ideal but it is down to me to adapt and not get myself in these situations. “In internationals, referees never really give you too much leeway. It is about adapting to that. I am superconscious every time I go for an aerial challenge and head it. I just get my body there and mentally try not to do moore careful Match-winning Wales striker is banned after third booking but admits: It’s frustrating, but it’s down to me to change too much. It does take some getting used to.” Moore was even penalised after a second-half clash in Tallinn which left him with a bloodied nose and later saw him subbed with blurred vision. He claims he is often unsure why he even gets cautions. Asked why he received his latest yellow card, Moore replied: “I couldn’t tell you. “I put my arms by side. You would have to ask the ref. I know they will be having words on the side when these challenges are happening.” Moore’s absence against Belarus will at least be offset by skipper Gareth Bale’s anticipated return from a hamstring injury. Wales need four points from their final two games to clinch second spot in Group E and a better play-off draw. Moore (celebrating with Bale, left) will be eligible to play against Belgium in their final game and added: “We have missed Gaz this camp. “He is our talisman and we can’t wait to have him back. He brings a massive impetus into our team.” Wales’ successfully deployed a 3-5-2 formation in Prague and Tallinn. But boss Rob Page may change it next month to utilise Bale, who tends to play on the right in a 4-2-3-1 shape. Page said: “I have been pleased with it for this camp but it might be different for the next one. “You want all your players fit and then you pick a formation and a team which you think is going to give you your best chance to win.” MESSI HAILS VILLA’S EMI WORLD BEST By James Nursey LioneL Messi has hailed emi Martinez as one of the best goalkeepers in the world after his latest heroics for Argentina. Aston Villa shot-stopper Martinez (above) shone in Argentina’s 3-0 win over Uruguay in World Cup qualifying as he twice denied Luis suarez. He recorded his second successive clean sheet as Argentina increased their grip on second spot in the south American group behind Brazil. Martinez, 29, plays again for the Copa America winners at home against Peru, a game which kicks off a 12.30am UK time on Friday, before dashing back for Aston Villa’s clash with Wolves on saturday at 3pm. skipper Messi said: “Martinez is fundamental. When opponents come to him, he always responds. He has established himself and we have one of the best keepers in the world.” VARAnE’S kO BLOW ROckS SOLSkjAER By DaVID mcDoNNell RAPHAEL VARANE will be out of action for Manchester United for several weeks with a groin injury. With United skipper Harry Maguire already ruled out through injury, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to have to play Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly in central defence at Leicester on Saturday. Varane (right) suffered the injury and had to be substituted during the first half of France’s 2-1 Nations League final triumph over Spain in the San Siro on Sunday. He will miss Premier League games against Leicester, Liverpool and Tottenham, as well as a Champions League double-header against Atalanta. United boss Solskjaer will hope France World Cup winner Varane recovers in time to face Manchester City at Old Trafford in the derby on November 6. LAgE: STOp TRyIng TO DO IT RAuL By DaVe armITaGe WoLVes boss Bruno Lage has given star striker Raul Jimenez strict orders to stop running himself into the ground. The Mexico international (above) has been desperate to show he is getting back to his best after the horror injury last november which left him with a fractured skull. Lage said of the 30-year-old: “Raul is a hard worker. on the first day i saw him, he ran all over the pitch. “He went from one flank to another and i said, ‘Look, you cannot play like that, we are going to play in a different way and you are going to play more in-between the lines’.” But it’s at the back where Lage has issues. new signing Yerson Mosquera was injured just nine minutes into his debut, while Romain saiss and Willy Boly are on Africa Cup of nations duty from December 20.

56 DAILY MIRROR WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 baraclough rues break bulgaria 2 N irelaNd 1 World Cup Qualfying, Group C NORTHERN IRELAND suffered a second-half collapse to see their final World Cup hope extinguished. Ian Baraclough’s side dominated the opening 45 minutes in Sofia and deservedly led through Conor Washington’s (above) close-in effort. But they fell apart when Bulgaria came to life and Switzerland’s 4-0 win over Lithuania confirmed their fading chances of reaching Qatar are over. Todor Nedelev did the damage with two fine strikes as Bulgaria climbed above Northern Ireland into third. Baraclough will be gutted by his side’s woeful second-half display. Their latest low completes a brutal four days after their controversial loss to Switzerland in Geneva on Saturday and they have managed just one win over Lithuania from their six games. Baraclough gave Conor Bradley his first start and the Liverpool teenager shone as Northern Ireland bossed the first 45 to create chance after chance. They were repeatedly denied by Bulgaria goalkeeper Ivan Karadzhov who saved from Paddy McNair, Jordan Thompson and Washington. It looked like it would be the same old story for Baraclough’s side in front of goal until Washington poked home on 35 minutes when Karadzhov parried Josh Magennis’ header. Belarus referee Aleksei Kulbakov disallowed it for offside before he was correctly overruled by VAR. But after the break Bulgaria took advantage and levelled on 53 minutes when Todor Nedelev was unmarked and swept the ball home.

After the highs of beating Israel on Saturday in the 94th minute, this time it took an 86th-minute deflected goal from the QPR man to rescue a win. Scotland were held and outplayed – by a team ranked 114th in the world – for much of the game. But Dykes bundled home in his fourth consecutive game after Faroe Islands defender Horour Askham poked a cross on to his chest in a flukey conclusion. The Tartan Army stay favourites to finish second in Group F and earn a place in the play-offs in March. A win in November against Moldova will be enough. Steve Clarke’s men will need to improve after lacking power and passion in a game that was ebbing away until Nathan Patterson swung in his decisive cross. It took several minutes for VAR to rule Dykes had not handled the ball into the goal. Replays were inconclusive. During a woeful first-half display the Scots could have been three goals down. And they finished the seven minutes of injury time running down the clock. The Faroes battered them and looked by far the more coherent team for much of the game. It took a brilliant save from Craig Gordon after 24 minutes to stop Ari Jonsson’s point-blank shot. The charging left-winger should have buried his shot from eight yards out, but Gordon parried away. Moments later, Brandur Hendriksson curled in a fantastic cross from an awkward angle and unmarked defender Sonni Nattestad met it with a header that crashed just over. Then Odmar Faero went close from long range in an unexpectedly even first half, which saw the home side battle well and hit Scotland with a direct attacking threat.

DM1ST mirror.co.uk/sport WEDNESDAY 13.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 57 trouble SPOT Police clash with the Hungary fans at Wembley Tournament bans only way to beat the idiots AFTER Roland Sallai drilled in Hungary’s first half penalty, the visiting fans ignited a flare. They managed to get a pyrotechnic into Wembley. Of course they did. After all, thousands were bunking into this stadium for a major final three months ago. Sneaking in a firework must have been a doddle. The Football Association – already facing punishment for the shambles that was the Euro 2020 final – might want to have yet another look at their security arrangements. FIFA will. But at the same time, they should be having another look at the Hungarian fans. When are meaningful punishments going to be handed out to national teams whose fans regularly disgrace themselves? It is not as though the sight england 1 hungary 1 Stones 37 Sallai 24 pen of what looked like ultras in black hoodies fighting with what few police happened to be inside Wembley should have come as a major shock. This year alone, Hungary’s fans have been banned from home fixtures by FIFA and UEFA for racist and homophobic behaviour. It was hardly a surprise when some amongst a thousand Hungarian supporters jeered England players when they took the knee. There was even a banner showing opposition to the antiracism gesture. What andy dunn Chief Sports Writer started the violence was initially unclear but a statement from the Metropolitan Police at halftime made matters a little clearer. “Shortly after the start of tonight’s match at Wembley, officers entered the stand to arrest a spectator for a racially aggravated public order offence following comments made towards a steward,” read a Met statement, adding: “As the officers made the arrest, minor disorder broke out involving other spectators.” It did not look overly ‘minor’ from where I was sitting. As Gareth Southgate likes to point out, English football has its own issues. Indeed, the FA faces FOUR charges from that shocking day when the Euro final was qualifying group I from wembley staged here. UEFA could yet impose serious penalties for offences which included causing a disturbance during a national anthem. So let’s not get all sanctimonious about the behaviour of others. But it appears some Hungarian fans are serial offenders. There will be an investigation into the trouble at Wembley but the punishments handed out to nations whose supporters regularly misbehave – and we are not just talking Hungary here – are too lenient. England will probably get off relatively lightly. If UEFA and FIFA really want to crack down on disgraceful fan behaviour they need to hit nations where it hurts. Start threatening them with tournament bans. Maybe then, we can get rid of idiots who scar the game. results & fixtures FIFA World Cup European Qualifying Group A Portugal (3)........ 5 Luxembourg (0). 0 Ronaldo 8 (p), 13 (p), 87 B Fernandes 17 Joao Palhinha 69 Serbia (1).............. 3 Azerbaijan (1).... 1 Vlahovic 30 (pen), 52 Mahmudov 45 Tadic 83 (pen) P W D L F A Pts Serbia........................ 7 5 2 0 16 8 17 Portugal..................... 6 5 1 0 16 4 16 Luxembourg............... 6 2 0 4 5 14 6 Rep of Ireland............ 6 1 2 3 8 8 5 Azerbaijan.................. 7 0 1 6 4 15 1 Group B Kosovo (1)............ 1 Georgia (1).......... 2 Muriqi 45 (p) Okriashvili 11 Davitashvili 82 Sweden (0)........... 2 Greece (0)........... 0 Forsberg 59 (pen) Isak 69 P W D L F A Pts Sweden...................... 6 5 0 1 12 3 15 Spain......................... 6 4 1 1 13 5 13 Greece....................... 6 2 3 1 7 6 9 Georgia...................... 7 1 1 5 4 12 4 Kosovo....................... 7 1 1 5 4 14 4 Group C Bulgaria (0)......... 2 N Ireland (1)....... 1 Nedelev 53, 63 Washington 35 Lithuania (0)........ 0 Switzerland (3).4 Embolo 31, 45 Steffen 42 Gavranovic 90 Group D Kazakhstan (0).... 0 Finland (1).......... 2 Pukki 45, 47 Ukraine (1)........... 1 Bosnia-Herz (0).. 1 Yarmolenko 15 Ahmedhodzic 77 P W D L F A Pts France....................... 6 3 3 0 8 3 12 Ukraine...................... 7 1 6 0 9 8 9 Finland....................... 6 2 2 2 7 7 8 Bosnia-H.................... 6 1 4 1 8 7 7 Kazakhstan................ 7 0 3 4 5 12 3 Group F Denmark (0)......... 1 Austria (0).......... 0 Maehle 53 Faroe Isles (0)..... 0 Scotland (0)....... 1 Dykes 86 Israel (1).............. 2 Moldova (0)........ 1 Zahavi 28 Nicolaescu 90 Dabbur 49 Group I Albania (0)........... 0 Poland (0)........... 1 Swiderski 77 England (1).......... 1 Hungary (1)........ 1 Stones 37 Sallai 24 (p) San Marino (0)..... 0 Andorra (1)........ 3 Pujol 10 Moreno 53 Fernandez 89 International Matches R of Ireland (2)... 4 Qatar (0)............. 0 Robinson 4, 13 (pen), 53 Duffy 59 EUROPEAN U-21 CH’SHIP Q’FYING—Gp 3: Lithuania 0 Russia 3, Slovakia 4 Malta 0, Spain 3 N Ireland 0.

The Poles jumped above rivals Albania into second place in Group I, and moved three points behind England, after Karol Swiderski’s closerange winner. But that didn’t tell the story of a shameful night in Tirana. Triggered by Swiderski’s 77th-minute strike, home fans threw bottles from the stands (above) and both sets of players retreated to the changing rooms. After a 20-minute delay, play finally resumed with Poland seeing out the game to earn a crucial win. In the battle of the minnows, Andorra beat San Marino 3-0 with the two nations making up the numbers in the group. Cristiano Ronaldo (right) scored a hat-trick while Manchester United team-mate Bruno Fernandes also weighed in with a goal in Portugal’s 5-0 win over Luxembourg. It was a landmark night for Ronaldo, who became the first man to score 10 international hat-tricks. Serbia still lead the way in Group A after a 3-1 win over Azerbaijan. Sweden beat 10-man Greece 2-0 to remain top of Group B. They head to Georgia and then Spain, their main rivals, next month in their final two matches. Teemu Pukki scored twice to break Jari Litmanen’s international goals record for Finland in their victory over Kazakhstan. The Norwich striker netted in each half to take his international tally to 33, one more than the former Barcelona playmaker on his 98th appearance for his country. Finland were later boosted as second-placed Ukraine were held 1-1 by Bosnia. West Ham’s Andriy Yarmolenko opened the scoring for the hosts. Arsenal’s Thomas Partey scored a brilliant solo goal in Ghana’s 3-1 win over Zimbabwe. The midfielder, 28, was brought on as a second-half substitute and it did not take him long to make an impact. But Senegal became the first team through to Africa’s play-offs for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar by beating Namibia 3-1. DM1ST draw of england 1 hungary 1 Stones 37 Sallai 24 pen England and Kane horribly out of sorts as Southgate’s side labour to a point BY JOHN CROSS Chief Football Writer @johncrossmirror A NIGHT to forget for England. An even worse night for Harry Kane. It takes a bold boss to substitute Kane but Gareth Southgate had no choice but to replace a player who looks lost. Out-of-form, yet to score a goal in the Premier League this season and Kane’s frustration summed up a hugely disappointing England performance. The most positive thing you can say is that Group I is so weak that, even after this slip-up, England’s destiny is still in their own hands. Beat Albania at Wembley next month, followed by a trip to the whipping boys of San Marino and they will be safely qualified for next year’s World Cup. But after the highs of the summer, this did feel like an anti-climax when Southgate’s tactics did not work, Kane drew a blank, Raheem Sterling was below par and it was left to John Stones to save England. Stones’ equaliser eight minutes before half-time cancelled out Roland Sallai’s 24th-minute penalty but the second-half avalanche never arrived. In fact, the game just tapered out as Southgate (right) surprised everyone not just by taking off his captain but also replacing out-of-sorts Sterling and, most baffling of all, Jack Grealish. Grealish was easily England’s best attacking player, the one who looked most likely to make things happen and it was no wonder that decision was met with a smattering of jeers. No wonder a few paper aeroplanes were thrown soon after in what has become Wembley’s customary sign of dissatisfaction whenever they get fed up. There were 69,380 fans at Wembley which is an incredible turnout and they expected better as this was a golden chance to take a huge step towards Qatar. But they tripped up. Hungary were not the walkover that everyone expected even if the trouble in the away end was hardly a huge surprise after the disgusting targeting of England players for racist abuse in Budapest last month. Maybe the fights between Hungary’s ultras and the police after the

England struggled to make headway, Southgate’s attacking formation did not work as Kane was isolated and got lost as he dropped too deep looking for the ball. Phil Foden ended up being switched wide as he could not find any space in the middle and it was Hungary who took a shock lead. Luke Shaw went to clear just inside the box, Hungary forward Loic Nego ducked in and nearly had his head taken off by England’s leftback. There could be no real complaint when Spanish referee Alejandro Jose Hernandez awarded a penalty. Despite a chorus of jeers and boos, Sallai smashed home the spot-kick as he sent England keeper Jordan Pickford the wrong way. Finally and belatedly, England came to life. Grealish just makes things happen. If it is not because of his dribbling or trickery, then it is because he is getting fouled. Grealish won a free-kick which led to England’s equaliser. Foden whipped the ball in, it was deflected in the box and there was Stones at the back post to force home a priceless equaliser. But even though Southgate rang the changes, they could not find a way through. Stones went closest to a second goal as he glanced wide from Foden’s corner. Just to compound England’s misery, substitute Tammy Abraham went off injured soon after replacing Kane.
