The monarch, 95, spoke of her dismay just weeks before global heads of state and environmentalists including activist Greta Thunberg discuss the climate emergency at the COP26 in Glasgow. She said after the official opening of the Welsh parliament’s sixth session in Cardiff yesterday: “Extraordinary isn’t it. “I’ve been hearing all about COP, [we] still don’t know who is coming, no idea. “We only know about people who are not coming and it’s really irritating when they talk, but they don’t do.” Her Majesty will attend the event with Prince Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. She was speaking yesterday to her daughter-in-law the Duchess of Cornwall and Elin Jones, presiding officer of the Welsh Senedd. Her comments could be taken as a attack on national leaders including Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who says he may not attend. President Xi Jinping of China, the world’s most polluting nation, has also refused to confirm whether he will go. So too has Brazil’s science-denying president, Jair Bolsonaro, who recently declared his refusal to be vaccinated. President Vladimir Putin is also currently on the list of non-attendees, although it is thought Russia may send a presidential envoy.

Prince William said his eightyear-old son was “confused and a little bit annoyed” when his class returned to the same route the next day to find it full of litter again. William added: “He was trying to understand how and where it all came from. “He couldn’t understand, he’s like, ‘Well, we cleaned this. Why has it dUties Prince George not gone away?”’ William said George is “acutely aware” of how the resources he uses impact the planet and is careful not to overuse water or forget to turn off light switches. But the Duke said he felt bad about giving his children the “burden of that worry”. William added of his six-year-old daughter: “Charlotte is still a little bit young. She’s still not quite sure. But I think it is slowly dawning on them that these things matter.” The Duke, speaking ahead of his environmental Earthshot Prize awards on Sunday, added: “Young people now are growing up where their futures are basically threatened the whole time.” William also praised Sir David Attenborough for being a “constant support”. He added of the TV naturalist, a member of the Earthshot Prize Council: “He’s steered in his gentle David way and we’ve navigated a few things together. And that voice – it’s just legendary, really.” Morrison to attend, saying the 26th Conference of the Parties could be the world’s “last chance” to take action. The future king warned of a “catastrophic” impact to the planet if bolder action was not taken. He will hope to exert some influence at the week-long event with a landmark speech. Prince William launched a global ambitious project labelled the Earthshot Prize to find and reward the most ambitious solutions for solving the planet’s greatest challenges. On Sunday he will preside over the programme’s inaugural awards ceremony in London, delivering the first five of 50 £1million prizes over the next decade to those doing the most to help the climate crisis.

He added: “It would be an absolute disaster if George is here in 30 years’ time still saying the same thing, because by then we will be too late.” Buckingham Palace made no comment on the Queen’s remarks but royal sources said it was a “rare intervention” into diplomatic matters.

During a visit to Outokumpu Stainless in Sheffield, Mr Starmer told the Mirror: “The number one issue is the cost of energy going through the roof. “The potential impact that may have on the steel sector is absolutely number one in their minds. Like us, they are astonished the Government is standing complacently by. “The most activity we’ve had is a squabble about whether they are talking to the sector.” Ministers have clashed over The issue is the cost of energy going through the roof keIr StArmer ON VISIT TO PLANT YESTERDAY what support to give the industry, which employs 33,700 people and supports another 42,000 jobs in supply chains. Mills have paused production over recent weeks because of soaring power costs. Mr Starmer called on ministers to thrash out a support package to avoid possible permanent job losses. Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng submitted plans to the Treasury this week for a loan scheme to help energyintensive industries. Industry leaders fear it may amount to just a sticking plaster. Labour used last month’s party conference to announce a £3billion plan for steel. The Mirror has been campaigning to Save Our Steel since the sector was hammered by plant closures in 2015.

Yesterday Chancellor Rishi Sunak insisted ministers are doing “everything” to tackle shortages and tried to dampen down public alarm. Speaking after a meeting in the US, he blamed global problems for port delays and added: “I’m confident there will be a good amount of Christmas presents available.” But his words came amid more evidence of looming Christmas shortages with shop owners saying some Harry Potter merchandise has sold out. Elvijs Plugis, co-owner of London’s House of Spells, said: “A Harry Potter wand used to be £20, now it’s going to be £35 to £40. Shops are running out of stock.” And Labour leader Keir Starmer blamed the Government for not being better prepared.

Data on almost a million Swedes suggests the 3p cholesterol-busting pill could have a protective effect. More than seven million adults in Britain take statins to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Stockholm’s Karolinska Institutet looked at data on 960,000 city residents aged over 45 and found the drug was associated with a slightly lower risk of Covid death. Prof Tim Chico, of Sheffield University, explained: “Covid can cause very severe lung infections but it also causes inflammation of the blood vessels. “Because statins reduce inflammation there has been a lot of debate as to whether they might improve outcomes. “This study does not prove conclusively that statins reduce death in Covid but it does provide some supportive clues. “It observes that people taking statins were less likely to die than similar people who were not.” UK LateSt cases: 8,317,439 (up 45,066) Deaths: 138,237 (up 157) WorLD LateSt cases: 240,178,933 (up 268,150) Deaths: 4,892,983 (up 4,197) Starmer: Holiday PM a picture of complacency frame aND miSfortUNe PM painting at pal’s luxury Spanish villa Labour leader savages Johnson over his painting break at Marbella villa ‘Please pick up patients to free beds’ By eD cULLiNaNe A HOSPITAL trust has begged families to collect patients or set up home care for them, saying more than 200 stuck in beds are causing critical delays. The patients are medically fit to leave hospital but unable to go anywhere due to lack of carers, senior health bosses say. Truro’s Royal Cornwall Hospital had a queue of 22 ambulances outside on Monday. Local NHS trust director of emergency care Dr Toby Slade said: “If there’s anything they can do to support their loved ones at home, that will have an immediate impact on ambulance delays. “That just frees up hospital beds.” Cornwall Council said demand for care there was outstripping supply, as in many areas. 60m 50m 40m 49,291,665 30m 20m 10m 0m people have had first dose so far Vaccineometer EXCLUSIVE By BeN gLaZe Deputy Political Editor and aNDY LiNeS Chief Reporter in Marbella BORIS Johnson skulked back home last night after his Spanish painting holiday as Keir Starmer accused him of failing to tackle the crises gripping Britain. The Prime Minister flew into Heathrow Airport following a week-long stay at a luxury villa in the hills above Marbella. He is expected to host a meeting of top ministers at a Cabinet away day in the South West this afternoon. But as the PM returned, the UK was battling soaring energy prices threatening to shut factories, warnings of shortages of Christmas food and toys and a deepening cost of living crisis. As families feared for their household budgets this week, Mr Johnson was twice pictured painting at his Tory pal Lord Zac Goldsmith’s 600-acre luxury estate. He was dubbed the “weasel with his easel” after the pictures emerged. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Mr Starmer blasted the Tory chief for failing to “step up to the plate”. The Labour leader said: “We’ve just got a picture of the PM painting in Marbella – utter complacency. “It’s the same old, same old, which is a failure to plan and abdicating responsibility for the inevitable consequences of failing to plan and blaming somebody else while sitting on a sun-lounger. into Christmas. And you’ve got a Prime Minister who is effectively sending pictures to say, ‘It’s not my problem, it’s somebody else’s fault’. “It exemplifies everything that is wrong with this Prime Minister.” Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves said it is an honour to be in No10 and “you should take that job seriously”. Mr Johnson was whisked from the sun-kissed villa in a blacked-out minivan to nearby Malaga Airport. At one stage it appeared his driver had become lost as he struggled to find the correct security entrance to drop off the PM. Meanwhile, it was last night claimed papers indicate the villa is held through an offshore structure based in tax havens. Files suggested Lord Goldsmith and his family may have owned the property through a Maltese firm. It is held by companies in the Turks and Caicos Islands and administered by a wealth-planning business based in Switzerland, the Guardian said. There was no suggestion of wrongdoing and the peer, a former MP, had declared his interest in the property. The paper added he refused to answer questions about the arrangements, and his “It’s all summed up in that spokesman did not issue picture, really. It’s the same old, same old.. a denial.

Two parliamentary select committees this week published a scathing study into the Covid-19 crisis, hitting out at delays to lock- down, the test-and-trace shambles and a failure to plan for the crisis. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, Labour leader Mr Starmer said: “It’s a damning indictment on the Government, not only because it lays bare the failure to take key decisions quickly enough, which cost lives – particularly in the early oN right tracK Labour leader Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves stages – but also the chaotic track and trace which costs billions of pounds and never worked properly. “But on top of that – not to be missed in the report – was the running down of the NHS before we even hit the pandemic.” “Instead of doing the right thing, which is to have the decency to apologise to the families of the bereaved in particular, the Government shrugs its shoulders and exhibits the same old complacency.” Yesterday, Health Secretary Sajid Javid did apologise.

He was browsing on Facebook when he spotted his old childhood address and discovered the finders of the bottle were trying to contact him. Izzy Winter had spotted it while camping with family in south west Scotland. The KEEPSAKE Alex Melling Message comes back after 24 yrs 17-year-old, who lives in Newcastle, said: “We had taken a boat from Garli- eston to explore some caves in Wigtown Bay. “We found the bottle washed up and could see a message in it written on the back of a child’s birthday invitation.” Alex, who lost mum Victoria to cancer when he was 17, said he was “in disbelief ” that their message is now safely back in his hands. The delighted 30-year-old, from Hindley, near Wigan, Greater Manchester, has a vague recollection of throwing the message into sea but can’t remember where they were. He added: “I will be keeping the bottle for ever now with some other keepsakes. I can’t quite believe it.” news@mirror.co.uk @DailyMirror prescription for disaster After a decade of Tory misrule, life expectancy is falling in northern England. Men in parts of Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool and Blackpool won’t see their 70th birthday, while Kensington and Chelsea toffs live up to 27 years longer.

This is Conservatives “levelling up” in action – making life worse for everybody, especially the disadvantaged in northern PAUL ROUTLEDGE Telling it like it is... cities. Health Department officials coyly admit that forcing millions to pay will lead to “a small negative impact on health inequalities” because four out of 10 prescriptions costing £9.35 each will not be collected. And it “will affect some lower income groups more severely”. The Tories regard this as a price worth paying – by the sick and the poor – to rake in £300million by 2026. There is still time to halt this nasty trick. Write to your MP – especially the Tories – and demand another Government U-turn. Crafty pandering to loyalists opens For over 20 years we’ve been telling anyone who’ll listen to switch their energy deal. We even named ourselves ‘Uswitch’. But as you’ll no doubt have heard, there’s an energy crisis going on. Which no one needs right now, especially with winter on the way. The recent increase in the energy price cap means that energy bills for many households around Britain are going up. So you’re probably wondering what to do. For most people, energy suppliers still can’t offer much in the way of cheaper deals right now. So today our advice is the same as it was two weeks ago… stay put. But we’re still here to help as much as we possibly can. If you head to uswitch.com/stayput we have advice on what this means for you, as well as some simple tips to keep your bills down this winter.

That’s why signs appear on lampposts all over Ulster declaring: “NI Protocol Makes Belfast [Peace] Agreement Null and Void”. The implicit threat is a return to violence. It was made explicit to MPs on the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee by representatives of the so-called Loyalist Communities Council, which speaks for banned paramilitary groups. I’ve seen what these men are capable of. The Government’s tacit pandering to them is as dangerous as it is deceitful. Brussels has made wide-ranging concession to the UK, with fewer checks on food, medicine and other goods crossing the Irish Sea. A compromise is possible, and never underestimate Boris Johnson’s readiness to rat on his friends, in this case Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, creepy new leader of the faltering DUP. But I suspect he doesn’t want a deal. He’d prefer a bust-up with Europe, allowing him to pose as the Churchillian saviour of a nation under siege from Johnny foreigner. That way lies madness – a trade war harming businesses, jobs and international relations. Does he care? One former Cabinet minister says: “Boris doesn’t give a stuff about Northern Ireland.” We will all be the losers if our former European partners reciprocate that sentiment. Despite finally going where quite a few men (and women) have gone before, when the wind was initially too strong for his rocket to take off, fearless astronaut William Shatner boldly stayed at home. Don’t know about you, but this episode suggests to me that a lot of Star Trek isn’t real. It’s mocked up in a studio, just like the moon landings, as many Americans still believe.

Grief She began working on it around the time of her split from husband Simon Konecki and her new music features lyrics telling how she explained their break-up to their son Angelo, now nine. The divorce is thought to have been amicable and she and Simon, 47, live on the same LA street. But Adele said the break-up threw her “into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil” and she was “consumed” with grief. She said: “I’ve painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it. “Home is where the heart is.” ashleigh.rainbird@mirror.co.uk @arainbird Fashion In lockdown, many people ditched their bras, but Adele’s yellow Vivienne Westwood corset has inspired an underwiring revival, with one style team declaring: “The bust is back.” but she was also photographed in the Vogue shoot wearing a stunning Chanel cape and Louis Vuitton minidress. This was outerwear with a touch of old school glamour, not to mention fringing. It really is the roaring 20s all over again… Hair tAkE A BRow She loves that eyeliner The 1960s bouffant is back, thanks to a little inspiration from French actress Catherine Deneuve, below right. Hairdresser Guido Palau complimented Adele’s “really great, thick hair”, which he put in rollers, and told Vogue: “I applied a bumble & bumble Thickening Spray, £25, took big sections and used a big round brush and hairdryer to lift the roots.” His “teasing” of her roots led one fashion magazine to declare: “Adele just brought back backcombed hair.” Her other stylist Ryuta “Wig boy” Sayama said: “The bigger the hair got, the more excited she got.” So now everyone wants her “high voltage” hair. Live shows If she decides to go on tour with her new album, Adele could make an estimated £600million. but she is notoriously not a fan of touring and reports from the US suggest she will opt for an equally lucrative Las Vegas residency instead. That would mean she could easily commute – probably by private jet – from her home in Los Angles. Adele said on stage in 2017: “Touring isn’t something I’m good at – applause makes me feel a bit vulnerable. “I don’t know if I will ever tour again. I’m not sure if touring is my bag.” voIcE of tHE mIRRoR: pAGE 10 Make-up Her trademark flick of black is back and the sight of it in the Vogue shoot was enough to trigger a 9,900% increase in Google searches for “Adele eyeliner”. That prompted Adele’s make-up artist Pat McGrath to share details of the products she used. Helpfully, they were from her own Pat McGrath Labs range and the PermaGel Eye Pencil in bLK Coffee (£25) and Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner (£25) are all that you need to achieve that perfect winged eye. Record sales Adele’s 2015 album 25, featuring Hello and When We Were young, has sold more than 22 million copies, while her 2011 album 21, with favourites such as Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like you, is one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, with 31 million sales. While Adele has warned her new single is not a “bombastic” song like her last comeback track, Hello, she is still expected to achieve record-breaking sales. Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has described her release as a “global event” for the music industry and streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, were expecting massive interest when the single finally became available from midnight. Adele, who withheld her last album 25 from streaming sites for seven months after she released it in 2015, will be on multiple radio stations to chat about her new single this morning. This week it was confirmed she had signed to Columbia in the UK, which is expected to give their profits a huge boost.

10 DAILY MIRROR FRIDAY 15.10.2021 Voice of the Do not fail the planet YOU can understand why the Queen is sceptical about the prospect of a breakthrough at next month’s climate summit. The COP26 meeting in Glasgow has been described as the final chance to prevent a catastrophic rise in global temperatures but, as Her Majesty pointed out yesterday, there is too much talking and not enough action. Some world leaders, such as Australia’s Scott Morrison and President Xi Jinping of China, have not even decided if they will attend. If the Scottish summit fails to agree binding targets for reducing emissions, the consequences for Earth will be disastrous. We will be bequeathing our children and grandchildren a planet where droughts, flooding and extreme weather are the norm. Large parts of the world will become uninhabitable. Rising sea levels could wipe out farmland to grow essential food supplies. It is a shame that other leaders do not share the Royal Family’s understanding of how urgent these issues are. If they fail in Glasgow, future generations will never forgive them. Artful dodger BORIS Johnson scuttled back from his holiday yesterday to a struggling country. While he was playing with his paintbrush, families and firms faced supply disruption and soaring costs of energy and other essentials. Sir Keir Starmer is right to say the Prime Minister needs to step up to the plate and stop dodging responsibility for the multiple problems facing this country. Mr Johnson’s approach so far has been like his artwork while in Marbella – slapdash. This complacent government has failed to come up with a plan to address the fuel crisis, energy crisis and cost-of-living crisis. Adele’s in tune ADELE is not just a music sensation, she seems to affect the beauty industry too. The reaction to her new single Easy on Me – a sales boom in everything from eyeliner to hairspray – illustrates what a cultural icon the Tottenham girl has become. harry potter toy shortage Hey, I can’t wave a magic wand..

mirror.co.uk DM1ST FRIDAY 15.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 15 charity tv show means so much One in two of us will get cancer... that’s why we have to raise as much cash as we can Why is SU2C so important to you? The really big thing for me is one in two of us will get cancer. We are at the tip of the most amazing scientific iceberg. Genetics and DNA and targeted therapies – there are some amazing treatments coming to the fore. My mum died of cancer, my sister died of cancer, so I know how cancer affects people. This year, more than ever, we need to fund as much research as we can, to give as many people a chance as possible. Sarah Harding’s death is a dreadful reminder that cancer can strike at any age, isn’t it? The last time I’d seen Sarah was on The davina mccall Jump, where she was such good fun! And obviously I was there at the beginning of her career, with Popstars: The Rivals. I read somewhere that she’d given herself a hard time for not going to sort it out earlier. My sister was given a terminal diagnosis in hospital and gave herself a hard time for not doing something about it. There’s nothing like the look on someone’s face when they realise there’s no treatment. And the idea you’d ever blame yourself is too much to handle. So we need to help people to find ways of detecting changes in their bodies, but never shaming anybody, ever, ever, ever, and least of all shaming yourself, ever, if you get sick. It’s not your fault. Is it difficult for you to control your emotions on the night? My sister died in 2012. It’ll be 10 years next year. But it still makes me think “What if, what if, what if?” So when people tell their stories, I can relate to it, and it’s always tough on the night. But really I just think “Don’t lose the plot. Keep the ship going.” How will you wind down, at the end? It’s the night before my birthday so I’ll be winding up again! Hopefully with breakfast in bed from my kids. My sister died of cancer in 2012.. I still ask myself ‘What if..?’ People working towards a cure are amazing Why is SU2C so important to you? I lost my uncle two weeks ago to lung cancer. This year is going to have a bit more of a purpose for me. As you get older, more and more people seem to be battling it, and it becomes more and more relevant. You’ve been to UCL Cancer Institute to see where some of the money goes? Whenever I do Stand Up to Cancer, I always donate and I like to get as much information as possible so when I’m talking to people at home, I can look them in the eye knowing I’ve done something about it. These people working towards a cure are amazing, and every penny goes straight into research. How do you control your emotions? I don’t! The clips with the children are just heart-breaking. It’s not just me crying, it’s everyone behind the scenes. You get so sad, but in those last minutes you understand where the title Stand Up to alan carr Cancer comes from because something happens and you go: “Right, come on then! Let’s do this. Let’s do it for that little girl.” What was it like losing the autocue? Well, you just look like you’ve sh** yourself. But you just go into weird auto-pilot where you’re just filling the time. Your experience in stand-up helped? Oh yeah. Me and David Walliams were doing Comic Relief when Russell Brand was 20 minutes late and we had to fill for 20 minutes. I was basically just telling people what we were going to have for tea and asking David if he was going anywhere nice for his holidays. I mean, I can fill for a couple of minutes, but 20 minutes? I was telling people my PIN by the end of it.

Industry chiefs say the hike, from £45, will give people “greater choice”. It is the fifth time the limit has been raised after initially being set at £10 in 2007. Trade body UK Finance said, between January and July, 60% of all debit and credit card transactions across the UK were contactless – this was 6.6billion payments with a value of £81.4billion. While the limit is rising from £45 today, it could take retailers weeks or months to update in-store terminals. Some banks have responded by allowing customers to set their own contactless card limits at less than £100, or turn the option off altogether. Encouraging David Postings, chief executive of UK Finance, said: “The new £100 limit offers customers greater choice.” But, Gareth Shaw, head of Which? Money, said: “Some may be wary about the significant increase – so it is encouraging to see some banks allowing customers to set their own limits.” Sarah Pennells, consumer finance specialist at Royal London, said: “You should treat your contactless card the same way as you’d treat cash in your pocket, so be careful when you use it and don’t give it to anyone else.” An spokesman for the Financial Conduct Authority said: “We have seen no material increase in fraud in countries where the limit increased to the equivalent of £100 or above.” graham.hiscott@mirror.co.uk @Grahamhiscott Big savings 3 for 2 on all indoor paint. 4 for 3 on laminate and LVC flooring. 20% off wallpaper.

Last month an unprecedented 5,025 people had to wait more than 12 hours in A&E. And a record 104,875 patients waited more than four hours from the decision to admit them to being taken to a ward. The list of those waiting more than two years to start routine hospital treatment now stands at 9,754, up from 7,980 at the end of July. Hip and knee replacements are worst affected. Tracey Loftis, of charity Versus Arthritis, said: “People’s lives are being destroyed as they languish on waiting lists. Many are in agonising pain, unable to work or leave their homes.” Dr Tim Cooksley, of the Society for Acute Medicine, said the latest official figures were worrying. He added: “We are 2yrs Length of time 9,754 have had to wait for treatment 5k Numbers forced to wait longer than 12 hrs to be seen in A&E moving further away from an NHS that can provide the best care to all who need it promptly and closer to one which can only focus on the most critically unwell. Even then it is with a threadbare workforce that has been run into the ground.” Prof Stephen Powis, NHS national medical director, said: “There is no doubt the NHS is running hot, with the highest-ever number of patients seen in A&E in September.” Agony of those who need ops OSTEOARTHRITIS and rheumatoid arthritis sufferer Michaela Anaka needs a second knee replacement. The 54-year-old spent her life savings on getting her first knee operation done privately. Michaela, from South East London, said: “Even moving the bed covers back was painful.

After ringing the minute the surgery opened, Elaine Harrad’s call was terminated. She then spent 45 minutes calling and got through on her 286th try. Finding herself 30th in line to speak to a receptionist, the catering manager requested a call-back. by the time she was called, almost 40 minutes later, there were no GP appointments left at Heron Medical Practice in Herne bay, Kent. Her mum barbara was offered a phone consultation, but Elaine felt her eye needed to be seen by a doctor. She took her to the Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital in Herne bay, where she was seen and immediately given antibiotics. Elaine said: “My mum and dad are both 84 and I know if they had to go through this system they wouldn’t bother. It’s not okay either to just tell people to go online as a lot either can’t use or can’t access computers. “There’s going to be a large number of older people with undiagnosed illnesses and the NHS is going to be overwhelmed.” Heron » Javid ducks out of showdown with docs ORDEAL Elaine and mum Barbara Medical Practice said it was experiencing a huge increase in demand as it deals with a backlog sparked by the pandemic. The threesurgery practice wants those who can to book slots online, freeing up phone lines for elderly patients and those without computer access. business manager Helen Sutton said: “I have never seen anything like it. It Demand for appointments never relents. I feel sorry for everybody – patients and staff.” MARTIN BAGOT Health Editor GPs accused Health Secretary Sajid Javid of running scared yesterday after he snubbed a doctors’ conference amid a row over face-to-face appointments. Mr Javid announced a £250million package for practices in England, but funds will be denied to surgeries struggling to offer in-person appointments, even though there is a 2,500 shortfall in GP numbers. As Mr Javid was accused of stoking up anti-GP rhetoric, he pulled out of a planned address to the Royal College of GPs at their conference in Liverpool. Dr Farah Jameel, GP committee lead at the BMA, said: “He had the perfect opportunity today to defend his so-called rescue package and hear first-hand what GPs thought. “Ducking out of the conference shows he wasn’t willing, or in reality, able to defend the indefensible.” Professor Martin Marshall, chairman of the RCGP, told the conference: “The so-called support package is most definitely not the answer to the Widespread vilification of GPs who work so hard is unfair mArtiN mArshALL chairman of rcgp challenges that we are facing.” And he said: “The widespread vilification of hard-working GPs and our teams is unfair, it’s demoralizing, and it’s indefensible.” Fewer than 60% of GP consultations in England are now being held in person, compared with 80% before the pandemic. SHORTFALL But Academy of Medical Sciences analysis shows a 2,500 shortfall in GP numbers, and there are 1,500 fewer GPs than in 2015. Prof Marshall said: “When demand outstrips supply, the traditional general practice model is becoming less and less deliverable.” England’s Chief Medical Officer Prof Chris Whitty told the conference Covid had forced GPs to move to remote appointments, but said: “Obviously that’s not a sustainable position. Now the pendulum is already swinging back. I don’t think it’s settled at the right point yet.” Mr Javid, who visited a GP surgery in South East London, also plans to allow patients to rate GPs by text. On BBC Breakfast, presenter Charlie Stayt told Mr Javid his plans had sickened Dr Rosemary Leonard, a GP and a regular on the show. He said: “She says what you are doing is stirring up anti-GP rhetoric.” Dennis Reed, of the over-60s campaign group Silver Voices, said: “The rapid move to remote consultations cannot be explained by a lack of resources alone.” martin.bagot@mirror.co.uk @MartinBagot

Toy website BargainMax came up with the idea after hearing parents say kids often prefer playing with the box a gift comes in instead of the toy itself. The Box Clever present, delivered free, is said to encourage youngsters to use their imagination. The website states: “Box Clever will provide hours of fun for your child and with an added bonus of saving you a small fortune. “It can become a house, fort, car and much more.” Daniel McKay, marketing and ecommerce director at BargainMax, said: “Parents will tell you most kids think the box is as much fun as the present.” Tyson’s latest boxing match A SCULPTURE of world boxing champion Tyson Fury is dwarfed by a match head.

Residents say the round-the-clock noise is affecting their health and their work due to lack of rest. Some have been forced to book into hotels to get away from the continual sound in Holmfield, West Yorks. Resident Suzanne Ashcroft said: “This hum has disturbed our right to peace in our own home. At its loudest it feels like the walls are pulsating.” Villager Rachel Armstrong said: “It’s driving me mad – something needs to be done.” Another, Yvonne Conner, said: “It’s causing hell Noise is continuous lack of sleep, headaches, stress and anxiety, which has led to me having a case of shingles. Residents have been unable to relax in their home for nearly a year. The noise is continuous day and night.” Many believe the Holmfield Hum is coming from local industrial units Hundreds have signed a petition demanding the local authority finds the cause and ends their misery. Calderdale Council identified “lots of potential sources” and is working with neighbouring authorities on the probe.

In the show contestants compete in children’s games for a prize, but the stakes are deadly. He said: “It is totally unsuitable for pupils of primary age. “Although some of the ‘games’ portrayed could be viewed as adaptations of playground games, the violent consequences of failure are inappropriate.” He told parents of pupils at Sir Francis Hill Primary School in Lincoln: “I advise all parents to check what their child is viewing.” dEEPlY IN lOvE Newlywed Waters & Kamilah by lake Shine on you crazy diamond er, ring...

Corporal Leslie Flower was in charge of a vessel which was sent to the beaches of northern France in May 1940. His Seaplane Tender 276 was bombed and machine-gunned as it crossed the English Channel, while the other vessel dispatched with it was sunk, with one survivor. But Cpl Flower ploughed on to bring British Expeditionary Force troops home. The vessel had one working engine and the men defended attacks from the Luftwaffe with an improvised machine gun mounting that used a towing bollard, engine starting handle, tubing and rope. Cpl Flower, who served in the RAF Marine Branch and was promoted to Group Captain VESSELA Seaplane Tender in 1938 in 1964, was given the Military Medal. He was also master of the RAF High Speed Launch 127 that supported Operation Jubilee, the Dieppe Raid of August 1942. During the disastrous operation, 47 Mayday calls were received and 16 ditched aircrew recovered. Cpl Flower’s medal group, also including a military MBE, is being those who did not receive meals. The figures also reveal big regional differences. Almost half of inner London kids on free school meals went on to university compared with fewer than a fifth in the South West, East Midlands and South East. Geoff Barton, of the Association of sold by his son with C&T Auctions, of Ashford, Kent. Specialist Matthew Tredwen said: “It is really unusual to have this combination of medals, an airman being awarded a Military Medal for his actions at sea. “Without the efforts of men like Gp Capt Flower the outcome of the war could have been very different. It is likely he saved hundreds.” In total, 330,000 Allied troops were rescued at Dunkirk. The citation for Cpl Flower’s medal states: “It is considered the resourcefulness of Corporal Flower and his crew contributed to saving Seaplane Tender No. 276 and the personnel on board.” In the final part of his RAF career, he was posted to the Air Ministry as Deputy Director of Marine Craft, retiring in 1970. He died in 1994. The sale takes place on October 20. adam.aspinall@mirror.co.uk @MirrorAsp Richer kids get even more places at uni BETTER-OFF pupils are almost 20% more likely to go to university than their more disadvantaged peers and the gap is now at its widest for 15 years.

DM1ST mirror.co.uk FRIDAY 15.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 23 IAN HYlAND’S Tv DIARY He writes He writes about telly... about weekly telly... weekly Following William Shatner’s glorious rocket trip, surely it’s only a matter of time before someone comes up with a reality show in which the public vote for celebrities to be fired into space. What’s that? And brought home afterwards? Let’s just get them up there first. We can worry about the finer details later. ITV’s new Sunday night drama Angela Black was a gripping enough – if slightly plodding – thriller-by-numbers. Unfortunately, the minute I spotted Ashley McGuire, who played Mandy in BBC3’s This Country, all I could think of was Mandy’s epic short story Murder On The Dodgems. I then spent the rest of the night wondering why ITV hasn’t made a series out of that yet. Worried over peaks & trots Much as I’ve been enjoying this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, I’m a bit worried it may have peaked too soon. For instance, it’s unlikely we will see anything to match the beauty and emotional punch of Rose and Giovanni’s Titanic-themed foxtrot (pictured) last Saturday night. It’s also doubtful we will witness a spectacle as hilarious as Aljaz’s Shrek outfit, which, presumably, made good use of Max George’s Homer Simpson fake belly from last year. As for same-sex duo John and Johannes, while their pirate paso was undoubtedly a stormer, should the judges – with their worryingly erratic paddles – really have been dishing out a 39 so early in the competition? Not only does it leave little room for improvement, it also opens the BBC up to conspiracy theorists. I mean, I’m fairly sure no “Protect them from the bottom two at all costs” memo has gone round. We all know how people like to talk though. Help required. On this week’s Iceland With Alexander Armstrong did our host really describe the first man on the moon as “the other Armstrong”? He did? Righto. Ego last spotted just north of Saturn. I think we’d best keep an eye on this one. Over at BBC2’s excellent Blair & Brown: The New labour Revolution, Peter Mandelson was explaining Tony Blair’s fondness for going on diplomatic trips to further Britain’s interests abroad: “Tony wasn’t a stay at home and mind the shop kind of Prime Minister.” So I guess Boris Johnson could say he kind of has something in common with his predecessor. Thing Most Likely To Make You Say... “I’m sure Bradley Walsh’s son Barney landed that role entirely on his own merits – and it would be unfair of anyone to suggest otherwise.” … Of The Week. Barney Walsh somehow landing a role as the village policeman in his dad’s new ITV hit The Larkins. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along now. I’m not saying the “sensitive” and “educational” documentary My First Threesome on Wednesday was just an excuse for Channel 4 to show some gratuitous scenes of a sexual nature at 10pm. However, from the soft porn reconstruction in the opening 30 seconds onwards, it was pretty clear the target audience was more at the onesome end of the market. Weekend watchlist Bake going off Ahead of her new More4 makeover show Prue’s Great Garden Plot, Prue Leith revealed her golden rule for a happy life. “I really believe that every 25 years you should have a revolution in your life,” Prue said. “Do something completely different.” It’s an interesting approach, for sure. Although, after sitting through the first month of the latest series of The Great British Bake Off, I am tempted to advise Prue to cut the revolution cycle down to five years. I’m sorry to report that the baking show that once captivated the nation has begun to look – and feel – a little flat and stodgy. We’re four episodes into the fifth series since Bake Off ’s big-money transfer to Channel 4, and while I wouldn’t say the fun has entirely gone Celebrity Gogglebox (Channel 4, tonight) from the tent, I am sensing an air of going through the motions. Not that you can blame anyone. After 11 years, even I find it a little difficult from time to time to get excited about cakes and biscuits – so you can only imagine how the judges, hosts and social media account managers feel. No wonder the viewing figures are now tailing off. The only person who seemed to be enjoying themselves with any consistency was retired midwife Maggie. And she got booted off on Tuesday, which means we are now left facing two months of Paul and Prue trying to make the inevitable crowning of one of our European friends appear less of a fore- Most amazing sight of the week? That female seahorse on David Attenborough’s The Mating Game deftly transferring more than 300 eggs from her belly into her male partner’s pouch without dropping a single one. Most nights I can’t even pass my wife a cup of tea without spilling it. COBRA: CYBERWAR (Sky Max, tonight) HAvING FuN Maggie & Prue gone conclusion. A friendlier couple of guys than Jurgen, originally from Germany, or Giuseppe, originally from Italy, you could not meet. Jurgen certainly has something of the deadpan comedy genius about him. Should they even be in this contest though? If Channel 4 is going to let such technically proficient bakers into the amateurs’ tent, what’s the point of making any more series of Bake Off: The Professionals? Still, let’s remain optimistic. You never know, there may be some encouraging news for the other contestants just around the corner. Oh, hang on. I’ve just been told that next Tuesday’s theme is German Week. I can’t see that unduly favouring anyone in that tent, can you? P.S. Interestingly, Jurgen only took up baking after he discovered he could not buy his favourite bread in British shops. So the way things are going, we could all be applying for Bake Off by next year. The Madame Blanc Mysteries (C5, Saturday) Great to see Ian Hislop properly baring his teeth at the Government for the first time in decades as Have I Got News For You returned last Friday. Keep it up, Ian. If Nadine Dorries really is coming for you, you might as well go out in a blaze of glory. The BBC’s drama boss says the public will start liking EastEnders again once it goes back to its old 30 minutes per episode format. Possibly. Or you could just try a 30 minutes per year format instead. That could work. KERRY KATONA dOEs biN bAg TV shOw When my agent said she had another rubbish show for me to do...

Debates over the tribute to Africa explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley – known for the line: “Dr livingstone, I presume?” – has intensified in the wake of the Black lives Matter movement. A public vote will be held today and tomorrow over the fate of the statue, which was erected a decade ago in Denbigh in North Wales. He is a controversial figure because of his links with Belgian King leopold II, who committed atrocities in the Congo Free State – now the Democratic republic of Congo. But his supporters say he was not working for the despot at the time of the appalling acts. A petition last year gathered 7,000 signatures demanding the statue be removed. The Bishop of St Asaph also called last criTicS Sir Henry Stanley summer for its removal, saying the explorer had “little respect for the natives of Africa”. Stanley found the Scottish explorer livingstone at lake Tanganyika where he had been lost in central Africa. He was born fatherless in 1841 and emigrated to the US as a teenager. Stanley fought in the American Civil War before becoming a journalist and explorer who found the source of the Nile and mapped central Africa’s Great lakes. He died in 1904 at the age of 63.

Aged eight, his father bought him a first edition copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, as his name was in the title. Harry auctioned the JK rowling hardback to fund a trip to Africa to scatter his dad David’s ashes. His copy was one of only 500 made in the first print run in June 1997. The dad of three, 33, of Waterlooville, Hants, said of his famous name: “I’ve had the mick taken out of me over the years.” The book went under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers. Boss Charles Hanson told bidders from as far away as Australia and the US: “This is Harry Potter’s Harry Potter.”

Peter Knife, who owns the 17th Century fivebedroom house in Cross, Somerset, previously said: “People ask how I keep my hedges so well-maintained.

She also told how she had “heart palpitations” after seeing one of the animals on safari as she feared people would equate it with her. Alison, 46, said: “It may sound crazy but whenever I hear the word ‘elephant’, it takes me back to being at school and the nasty comments the boys used to make about me. “When I hear someone say ‘elephant’, I instantly think they must be talking about me. “Anything to do with elephants sets it off. I remember it happening when I was on safari once. “Some elephants came into view and I had heart palpitations because I was worried that someone was going to say, ‘Alison, look! An elephant, like you’.” Revealing she suffers PTSD, the star told how she was at an awards bash where Brian May said there was an “elephant in the room” and she thought he was referring to her. Opening up in her new book You’ve Got to Laugh, Alison added she was at the ceremony with fellow Big Brother star Kate Lawler. She said: “We didn’t notice a band coming onstage to perform – we were too busy gossiping. “Suddenly, Brian May said, ‘We’re trying to listen and I can’t hear a word of the singing. Could you keep your noise down?’ “We stopped talking. But you know when you’ve been told off and you’re a bit giggly? ‘Oh, my gosh, we just got told off by Brian May from Queen!’ “Things got worse when the band left the stage. Brian May got up to make a speech and started off by saying, ‘Now, there’s an elephant in the room, isn’t there?’” Alison said she mistakenly thought he was talking about her. She added: “I had a full-on panic he was going to start embarrassing me in front of everybody.” In fact, hard time As a teen the rocker was referring to something completely different. She continued: “‘Of course I wasn’t talking about you!’ he said. ‘I just really wanted to hear the singers and you were too loud’. “I’m not sure what lesson I took away from that day, but I’m sure I’m not the only person who lives with PTSD dating back to their schooldays.” Alison had the last laugh on class bullies by becoming one of TV’s top presenters. After finding fame on Big Brother, the Birmingham star has propelled This Morning to record Friday ratings along with Dermot O’Leary.

Billy Hood, 24, was sentenced last week after four bottles of the oil were discovered in his car in January. Asked whether the Foreign Office had offered help, his mum Breda Guckion said: “No, not at all.” In an emotional plea, she said: “As a mother, and I know a lot of people who know Billy, please, please, if anyone can help get Billy home, please do. That’s all I can ask from you.” Billy said the CBD, which is legal in the UK and can be used for conditions such as epilepsy, was left in the vehicle by a friend who was visiting from England. Reacting to the jail term, Breda, who appeared on Good Morning Britain yesterday, said: “It broke us completely. It still breaks me every day thinking about it, seeing his photo.” Billy moved to the United Arab Emirates to work as a football coach. He was allegedly kept in an isolation cell for 14 days after his arrest and forced to sign a confession before being convicted of drug trafficking with intent to supply. Breda said: “We didn’t even know Billy was arrested. He didn’t turn up for work for three days and his boss went to the police station reporting Billy missing.” Detained in Dubai campaigner Radha Stirling is helping the family. She said: “Only when there is diplomatic pressure to encourage the UAE higher up authorities to look at the case in more Innocent victims like Billy are locked up longer than for murder radha stirling on tough terms for expats detail, is a positive outcome going to happen for Billy. “The Foreign Office [is] less and less inclined to assist with UK nationals as the UAE becomes a stronger trade partner. “There’s quite a conflict of interest which can result in innocent victims like Billy being locked up for extremely lengthy periods. Longer than murder.” The Foreign & Common- wealth Office said: “We are giving consular support.” The UAE Embassy was approached for comment. louie.smith@mirror.co.uk @smith_louie Remembering Holocaust horror RELATIVES of 1.7 million murdered Polish Jews today mark 80 years since the Nazis began the deadliest Holocaust phase. Operation Reinhard, the German plan to completely exterminate Poland’s Jewish population, started on October 15, 1941. Over the next two years 98% of them were killed by the SS at Treblinka, Belzec, and Sobibor death camps, marking the most brutal part of the genocide. Joan Salter, who was born in Belgium in 1940 to Jewish parents originally from Poland, lost many relatives in the death camps. Joan, from London, said: “This operation represents the lowest point in humanity.” Olivia Marks-Woldman, chief executive of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, said: “To create a safer present and a better future, it is crucial that the brutal truth of Operation Reinhard is not forgotten.”

She was desperate to return home to the Philippines to visit her sick mother, but her employer had taken her passport and not paid her in weeks. She was working day and night as a domestic worker and surviving on the children’s leftovers. Her employer relentlessly verbally abused her. “I had no time off, it wasn’t allowed,” she says. “I just had to work 24 hours a day. Sometimes I would sleep only two to three hours. I’m not allowed to use my mobile, they shout at me if I try to talk to anyone. They told me not to say I am tired.” The family she worked for were visiting England for Christmas from their home in Dubai when Justina (whose name we have changed to protect her idenity) asked her employer’s mother-in-law for a scrap of food. “I was just so hungry,” she says. “The mother of the Mister said ‘she must have some food’. My employer went mad, she grabbed me by the neck. She said, ‘How dare you ask my motherin-law for food!’ “I said, ‘Sorry madame, because I am hungry madame’. “She said, ‘Shame on you, you f***ing...’ all the bad words. She shouted at me from 11pm until 1am. I think I have to escape, or I will die here.” Justina managed to flee her employer and was eventually granted legal status in the UK under modern slavery laws. The Modern Slavery Act is one of the Tory government’s cornerstone immigration reforms – and is often used as cover for their anti-migrant policies. But now even these protections rEal britain brUtal Patel’s Nationality and Borders Bill Ros Wynne-Jones standing up for you and your family are under threat because of Priti Patel’s Nationality and Borders Bill. The Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, Dame Sara Thornton, is among those who have warned the plans “will make the identification of victims of modern slavery harder and will create additional vulnerabilities”. Perversely, for a Bill which the Home Secretary claims is all about ending the misery of trafficking, Thornton adds that the reforms “could significantly undermine our ability to bring traffickers to justice”. Meanwhile, Caroline Haughey QC, who helped draft the legislation, says, “Sadly the Bill undermines the efforts, and the achievements, made with the Modern Slavery Act”. Justina had taken the job in Dubai as a domestic to help her elderly parents in the Philippines, retired farmworkers who needed medical care. Speaking ahead of Anti-Slavery Day on Monday, she tells me she planned to send money home for an operation for her mum’s eye cancer – but her employers regularly failed to pay her. The abuse that Justina faced led her to the brink of a breakdown, and she becomes distressed as she speaks. “I cannot breathe,” she says. “I am so scared.” In London, she spent hours sitting outside restaurants in the cold waiting for her rich employers to finish eating. “But how can I ‘I didn’t sleep all night after they tried to strangle me’ COnCErn Dame Sara Thornton ‘‘ Kalayaan’s help meant Justina won her battle to stay in the UK escape, I have no friends in the UK? Then, I think ‘God will guide me’.” Justina escaped the night her employer tried to strangle her. “I didn’t sleep all night,” she says. “At 5am, I walked out in only my clothes. I am crying. I am alone, it is Christmas and very cold. I don’t have any money because they haven’t paid me even though I begged them, ‘Please my parents aren’t well and they need the money for medicines’.” Justina was eventually taken in by a kind passer-by who took her to hospital. “I was shaking. I think someone will kill me,” she says. “I am crying day and night and I have stopped eating. They gave me medicine to calm down.” The hospital encouraged her to contact the police and the anti-trafficking charity Kalayaan. Its name means ‘Freedom’ in Filipino. The police told her that her employer had put out a Missing Persons report for her but that she did not need to return. With Kalayaan’s help, Justina eventually won a long battle for leave to remain in the UK, using a framework called the National Referral Mechanism (NRM). Campaigners say the Borders Bill will adversely affect cases like Justina’s in a number of ways, but the most dangerous is that it reduces the amount of time a survivor has to come forward. In Justina’s case this took a long time, and she remains terrified. Kalayaan says this shorter timeframe isn’t realistic and that the Home Office will be allowed to turn away survivors before they get to the NRM. A Home Office spokesman said: “The UK is a world leader in identifying and supporting genuine victims of modern slavery. However, over recent years we have seen an increase in the number of illegal migrants and foreign criminals seeking modern slavery referrals – enabling them to frustrate their removal from our country. “The changes we are making through the Bill seek to ensure we can identify genuine victims as early as possible and ensure they receive support, while reducing opportunities for the system to be misused.” Justina fights on for other victims. “Kalayaan helped me fight to be allowed to stay safely in the UK,” she says. “I can breathe again. Even so, I am always dreaming of being trapped. Now more people will be trapped in that situation. It’s not fair.” The Nationality and Borders Bill, due to become law next spring, is the most aggressive piece of anti-refugee legislation since Britain signed the Geneva Convention in 1951. On Wednesday, refugees and supporters will gather to oppose it in Parliament Square. Meanwhile, as the Bill makes its way through Parliament, Anti-Slavery Day on Monday will take on a new, modern urgency. ■Kalayaan ■ – kalayaan.org.uk ■Refugees ■ Welcome Rally – 4.30- 6.30pm in Parliament Square, London. ■facebook.com/events/56703632131 ■ 9676/?ref=newsfeed Have you or your family been affected by the cuts?

Sugar, salt, butter and water are one of the classic French ways to cook vegetables in the town of Vichy. The addition of star anise really complements this and, alongside thick pork chops grilled with miso butter, this is one of my favourite dishes in the book! TV chef James Martin has come up with a string of comforting recipes to see you through the darkening days of autumn. From clams with parsley and lemon to Vichy carrots and pork chops and French onion soup with a cheese lid, they all have one ingredient in common... lots and lots of lovely butter. Fans of James’ Saturday Morning ITV cookery show will not be surprised – he absolutely adores the stuff. His latest book, from which the recipes here are taken, is called simply, Butter. The 49-year-old says: “My love of butter started as a kid tasting a range of cakes and biscuits. Then there was the simple banana and Flake sandwich I took to school in my He-man lunchbox. “I don’t know what people will find more shocking – the ingredient combination or the fact I would include slices of butter (it was too hard to spread). “Then, as now, the humble sandwich with butter is something personal. “We all have our favourite fillings but it’s the butter that binds it all together. “It’s such an essential across the globe it’s a wonder many more people haven’t written a book on it before.” Here James provides four of his favourite recipes from the more than 130 in his new book. features@ mirror.co.uk @DailyMirror 4 large Middle White pork chops 100g caster sugar 5 star anise 100g butter 400g carrots, peeled, passiON James adores butter serVes 4 2cm green tops left on sea salt and freshly ground black pepper For the miso butter 100g butter, softened 50g white miso paste Method: Heat the grill to high.

Especially when it’s made properly and seasoned well. This is a dish I could not resist. By making your own puff pastry you get all those great flavours of butter and cheese mixed into the soup (and it’s worth it - despite the time it takes). This is definitely one for the restaurant menu when the weather turns. You can use this idea for any soup you wish, as it almost creates the ultimate buttery, cheesy crouton, which would be great with any vegetable soup. French onion soup with a cheese lid serVes 4 1 tablespoon brown sugar sea salt and freshly ground black pepper For the cheese lids plain flour, for dusting 300g puff pastry (see below) 200g comté, grated Method: Add the butter, onions, garlic and thyme to a large saucepan set over a medium heat. Cook until the onions have coloured, then add the sherry, white wine, brandy, stock and sugar and season. Simmer for 10–15 minutes. Spoon into four deep oven-proof soup bowls and leave to cool. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/400°F/gas 6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry and cut out four circles slightly bigger than the soup bowl tops. Brush the edges of the soup bowls with water, press the pastry circles on top and seal. Sprinkle cheese on, bake for 20 minutes. How to make traditional puff pastry 15g table salt 275ml warm water 625g plain flour, plus extra for dusting Makes 1.5kg 95g salted butter, melted 500g slab of dry butter or butter Method: Dissolve the salt in the warm water. Mix in the flour, being careful not to overwork it. Add the melted butter, transfer to a work surface dusted with flour and knead to a smooth dough. Roll into an even rectangle, wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge overnight. The next day, put the slab of dry butter between two sheets of greaseproof paper. Using a rolling pin, beat the dry butter into a 33 x 13cm rectangle. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough to twice the size of the butter and place the butter into the middle of the dough. Fold one side of the dough over the butter to half cover it, then fold the other side of the dough over the butter to cover the other half, so that the two edges of dough meet. Pinch together the top and bottom edges of the dough to seal the butter inside. Fold the dough in half lengthways, then turn it 90 degrees to the right (a quarter-turn).

On day 3, fold and turn as before and return the dough to the fridge to rest for two hours before giving another fold and turn. Wrap in cling film again and chill overnight. On day 4, give two more folds and turns, resting for 30 minutes between each one. Chill in the fridge for three hours, then roll the dough to 6.5mm thick to use as desired. Alternatively, you can wrap the dough in cling film and freeze for up to three months.

KNOW YOUR FOOD: Omega-3 fatty acids An 11-year study from the US reports that levels of fatty acids in red blood cells are as strongly linked to mortality and heart disease as traditional risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes. People in the top fifth of omega-3 levels in red blood cells have a life expectancy roughly five years longer than those in the bottom fifth. Omega-3 fatty acids are found natually in oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, sardines and anchovies, and you should be aiming to eat at least two portions a week. miriam@mirror.co.uk A few weeks ago my husband and I obeyed the call and had our Covid booster jab. But I have a feeling of deep unease about vaccines being used for third doses when so many poorer nations haven’t started on their first. This situation is highlighted in the latest report from Covax – the project for sharing Covid-19 vaccines around the world. Vaccinations in low-income countries are well below estimates –1.425 billion vaccine doses by the end of 2021, instead of the two billion doses pledged. According to Rory Horner of Manchester University, vaccine inequality isn’t lessening. Only 280.5 million Covid-19 vaccine doses have been distributed through Covax as of September 15. So it does not sit well that some richer countries, including the US and the UK, have been rolling out boosters and vaccinating younger people before many vulnerable adults have had one dose. It seems low-income countries can’t get a place in the vaccine queue. And we have undermined Covax by buying much of the vaccine supplies from manufacturers. On average, three Ask Dr Miriam Q I’m fed up with my GP. I’m not getting the service from my practice I expect. For instance, I was told to buy a B12 supplement over the counter without a blood test to check whether it was needed. And secondly, I was told to use a private company for ear syringing, which the practice is no longer doing, at a cost to myself of £70. I’m disgusted that GPs have rejected the NHS’s request to start doing faceto-face appointments again. Everyone I speak to is very top tips @MiriamStoppard How to protect your microbiome Our body is home to millions of tiny living things called microbes. They’re everywhere, in our eyes, mouth, gut and skin. They’re beneficial as they aid our digestion, help prevent infections and so much more. The most common microbes are bacteria, fungi and viruses, and they Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered per 100 people in low-income countries. That’s compared to more than 120 doses per 100 in richer countries, where many people have had more than one dose each. Covax has asked countries with high vaccine rates to forgo their unhappy with this situation and my respect for GPs has gone out of the window. sure there are many AI’m people around the country who are agreeing with you as they read your letter. Yes, we all expect to see the doctor face to face whenever we want to but Covid, I’m afraid, threw all those preconceptions out of the window. I think you’re being a bit hard on doctors, but this is a huge discussion. I’ll tackle it in more detail on my page at a later date. make up our microbiome. We have to look after it because changes in our microbiome can lead to illnesses. So what can we do? • Don’t take antibiotics willy-nilly, but if your GP prescribes them take them as instructed and make sure you finish the course. • Probiotics may be helpful in some cases, such as helping prevent diarrhoea and with some symptoms Sorry, but I can’t answer letters personally places, and for donations from countries with many people already vaccinated, like us. The UK pledged to give 100 million doses to “poor countries”, yet so far, has delivered only 5.1 million doses to Covax and sent just 10.3 million abroad in total. Worse, the UK has actually taken doses from Covax, CHARITY OF THE WEEK together for Mental Wellbeing This charity offers a wide variety of support to help people deal with the personal and practical effects of mental health issues. The services it can provide range from one-to-one support in the community to supported accommodation, and making sure people understand and can express their needs in their dealings with official bodies.

The same month we made our 100 million-dose pledge, we received 539,000 doses from Covax, which was more than double the doses Covax sent to Africa over that period. I’m now a shocking statistic making inequalities worse. In August, the WHO called for a moratorium on boosters until the end of September, recently extended until the end of 2021, but it didn’t deter us from launching our booster programme. Mike Ryan, boss of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme, described boosters as being like handing out life jackets to people who already have one while leaving those without to drown. And now we’re on the brink of rolling out vaccinations in 12 to 15-year-olds, further undermining vaccine equity. Sarah Gilbert, lead developer of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, and the WHO’s Mike Ryan both argue lowincome countries need doses more. I agree. It’s Covax that needs a booster.

DM1ST mirror.co.uk FRIDAY 15.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 36 DEAR COLEEN dearcoleen@mirror.co.uk your problems solved gUy I’m SeeIng Called me hIgh maIntenanCe Dear Coleen I’ve seen a new guy a few times now and really like him. However, we had a bit of an argument the other morning after he’d stayed the night and he accused me of being high maintenance. We parted on OK terms, but he didn’t arrange to see me again – he just said, “See ya”. I’m a bit of a stickler for certain things because I’ve been on my own for a while – I made him take off his shoes in the house, asked him to shower before going to bed and to brush his teeth before we kissed the next morning. This is all normal stuff to me, but he seemed a bit shocked and offended. Is he right? Coleen says Um, it sounds as if you’ve been talking to him like he’s a child, so that’s probably how he felt – as if he was on a date with his mum! Not sexy. He might also have been a bit embarrassed or selfconscious if you asked him to shower and brush his teeth. He might have been worried he had bad breath and BO. If you’ve been on your own for a while, it does take time to get used to dating again and not everyone is going to be the right fit for you. And somehow, I think if you really liked this guy, you wouldn’t be bothered about kissing him before he brushed his teeth – you’d be caught up in the passion of the moment. And maybe if he had really liked you he wouldn’t have given up after being asked to brush them – he might have made a joke about it. The more you date, the more relaxed you’ll become and, if the chemistry is there with someone, I don’t think you’ll be so caught up in the house rules. Will he still marry me after I rejected his past proposals? Dear Coleen I’m a woman in my thirties and my partner and I have two young children together. He’s asked me to marry him a few times in the past and I’ve always said no. It’s not because I don’t love him or don’t want to be with him, but I’ve never seen the importance of a wedding and it’s just not me to walk down an aisle in a big dress. However, since we had our second child, I have been thinking more about it and I think I would like to get married now. Nothing extravagant, just a small ceremony for close family and friends. My problem is, I’m embarrassed to bring it up with him, especially as the last time I turned him down, he swore he’d never ask me again. I never really considered his feelings when I rejected his proposals and now I feel very bad about it. He’s a great dad and a wonderful partner. I’m now worried I’ve blown it and that my reluctance to commit has damaged our relationship and he’ll end up asking someone else to marry him. Should I drop hints about getting married and will he take the bait? I’d love to know your opinion. you say I’d like to respond to the woman whose son’s fiancee had decided not to take his family name (Dear Coleen, October 5). It can have drawbacks. My daughter-in-law, who kept her maiden name, ended up being detained at Heathrow, as her daughter had my son’s surname. She had to prove she was her mother which, among other things, resulted in frantic phone calls to my son in Thailand in the middle of the night. She now takes her marriage certificate whenever she travels! Jenny McNish, Herts PROBLEMS? Tell Coleen Nolan about them and she’ll give you an honest answer... every weekday in the Daily Mirror email: dearcoleen@mirror.co.uk – sorry, but Coleen can’t reply personally WRiTe To: Coleen Nolan, The Daily Mirror, One Canada Square, London E14 5AP I love my wIfe... and my gIrlfrIend! your wife finds out about this affair, which she probably will if it carries on. You’ll get sloppy, make mistakes and she’ll become suspicious. Affairs are thrilling at first but, often when they become legit that excitement wanes and you might find the only thing holding you together was sex. You’ll then end up bitterly regretting leaving your marriage. I think it would help to really imagine what it would be like to lose your wonderful wife and only see your kids at weekends. Only you can decide what to do from here – this is a mess of your own making – but don’t keep doing it behind your wife’s back. If you won’t give up the other woman, then come clean. Dear Coleen I’ve been married for three years and have two small children. My wife is 32 and a wonderful partner and mother. My huge problem is that I’ve fallen in love with a woman at my workplace, who’s the same age as I am and single. We meet in hotel rooms and anywhere else we are able to. I can honestly say I’m in love with them both and my problem is that I can’t give up either. This is stopping me from sleeping at night and I’m just about balancing things. I can’t believe this is happening to me and I’m at my wits’ end. What can I do? Coleen says Well, you can give up this affair but you just don’t want to. You’re now discovering that affairs actually become very stressful because of the logistics, the lying and the guilt. You can’t have your cake and eat it. All I can remind you of is that you have an awful lot to lose if Coleen says Why can’t you just be upfront and propose to him? All that dropping hints stuff sounds like a big waste of time and he still might not take the bait or be confident enough to ask you again after being rejected several times in the past. But if you do ask him, then he might want an explanation about why you changed your mind and I wouldn’t say it’s because you don’t want to risk him marrying someone else. I think it can take some people time to get their heads around marriage. It took my second hubby Ray for ever to propose but, at least when he did, I knew he meant it and that it felt right for him. So, before you do ask the big question, just make sure you are doing it for the right reasons – love, commitment and family. It’s about the marriage, not the wedding. And make sure you’re 100% committed to getting married before you ask him because I’m not sure your partner will stick around if you go off the idea again in a few months’ time. “I’ve always said no to him but now I’d like to get wed Sign up to my newsletter!

DM1ST mirror.co.uk FRIDAY 15.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 37 let’s your do this community together corner Edited by siobhAnmcnAlly Urgent memo from Father Christmas’s press office says to expect toy supply issues this festive season as there’s a shortage of EGV (Elf Goods Vehicle) drivers. And the Jack O’Lantern press office also emailed to say due to a spooky lack of pickers in the fields, if you don’t get your carving pumpkin soon, Halloween will be ruined. Oh, and while you’re out panic shopping, you’d better get some extra loo rolls in case there’s another run on bog paper. It strikes me that with the amount of stockpiling we’re expected to do this winter, we’re in danger of becoming half human, half squirrel. And that’s the trouble, if I start shopping too early for Christmas, I forget where I’ve buried my (festive honeyroast) nuts, and end up scoffing all my luxury treats too early. I’ve got an idea – how about we don’t stockpile and then there won’t be so many shortages? You really have to wonder how human beings lasted this long if everything falls apart because supermarkets have run out of cake sprinkles. And even if there’s no ketchup or tea bags on the shelves, as I discovered on yesterday’s shopping trip, I can just drink coffee instead, and check down the side pockets in the car for my stash of sauce sachets. Adapting to change is just the sort of thing we humans are perfectly evolved to do, although I do wonder if teenagers will survive this consumer crisis. When I got back without tea bags and only a few sachets of tomato sauce to show for my day’s hunting and gathering, I had to admit to The Dark Lord that I’d only managed to snare one of the teeny-weeny jars of Marmite. “What am I going to do with this?” she shrieked, as she rummaged in the bags. “It’s worse than none at all,” she wailed. “It gives me hope – and then cruelly dashes it.” I laughed at her dramatics, and said: “Steady on, old girl, there’s a whole winter of this to get through yet. “Have you thought about swapping to jam? Granny made a delicious jar of her blackcurrant and apple cheese…” She groaned: “Cheese in jam? Truly we are seeing the fall of civilisation!” ■ ■ Email me at siobhan.mcnally@mirror.co.uk or write to Community Corner, PO Box 791, Winchester SO23 3RP.

Yours, Siobhan Wildlife corner Our autumn skies are filled with the sights and sounds of migrating geese, like this magnificent V-formation squadron captured by amateur snapper Vincent Malone. The “It’s getting close to that time when we lose our butterflies to the cold of winter,” writes Steve Brunsdon. “So I was happy to see this red admiral pay a visit to my garden this week.” The 66-year-old, who lives in Southampton, adds: “The butterfly first visited our welcome fairy, then it was off to the last of the flowers on the buddleia bush.” But it’s not been a good year for butterflies, as Steve notes, due to our chilly, wet May. He says: “Sadly I’ve not seen the same numbers compared to previous years, not one peacock or painted lady. I hope this trend won’t continue.” ■ Send your wildlife or insect snaps to siobhan.mcnally@mirror.co.uk My mum could find a draught even if she was sitting in a hermetically sealed unit. Not unlike long-suffering reader Joseph O’Sullivan in East Wittering, West Sussex, whose mum-in-law sounds similar. He writes: “My wife Daphne’s mum would say wherever she sat down, ‘There’s a draught’, then move – even if she was outside!” She also had a funny way with words. He emails: “If someone came to the door we didn’t recognise, Nana used to say, ‘Who’s that? Charlie Barnsfather?’ “When my wife was an absent-minded schoolgirl, Nana called her Film-struck Fanny, Red AdmiRAl (Vanessa atalanta) Just saying 50-year-old, who lives in Sutton in Ashfield, Notts, says: “I took this shot in Eckington. Life doesn’t get better. It was fantastic to watch and felt really uplifting. You just can’t beat nature.” and she used to call the fairy cakes she made Kill-Me-Quicks!” Joseph also had to run the gauntlet as a boy. He says: “My Irish mum had a variety of expressions when us three boys were getting under her feet. She’d call us, ‘You great big omadhaun’, which translates as fools in Irish.” But leave it to Ian Meyrick in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, to remind us why mums are the best.

Should the billionaires end their race to space? YES 61% Yes. A fraction of their billions could end world poverty and climate injustice. These are projects that would impress me, and many more like me. Lottie49 No. William could set an example by abdicating, moving into a three-bed house and stop jet-setting. earthCitizen WIN £5 ■ITV’s ■ Angela Black is an intense study of an abusive relationship. Outwardly Angela, ably played by Joanne Froggatt, has it all – a loving husband, two adorable kids and a dream home. But behind closed doors her husband is prone to dark and dangerous mood swings. She’s desperate for a way out when a stranger warns just how deadly he can be. This promises to be a gripping journey. Mia Dunlop, Wallsend, Tyne and Wear ■I ■ found Ian Hyland’s review of ITV’s The Larkins (October 11) so far from my own viewing experience, I wonder if we’re talking about the same programme. A cockney Pa Larkin? Multiple regional accents in one family? Cheesy overacting compared to the superb characterisation in the Darling Buds of May? This adaptation of H E Bates’s book is totally unbelievable. Ian McNicholas, Ebbw Vale, Blaenau Gwent Registered Charity No. 1020419 This week marks the birthday of Steven Durand, who went missing from Salford, Greater Manchester. He was 31 when he was last seen on September 19, 2018. Our thoughts are with his loved ones throughout this time. If you think you can help the search, please call Missing People. Steven, we are here for you whenever you are ready. Call. Text. Free. Confidential. 116 000. THe BIG QUesTION Every day we’ll be asking your opinion on one of Britain’s big talking points. You can have your say and vote at mirror.co.uk NO 39% No. The current space missions are as much about human survival as it is about exploration. They’re a huge step in the right direction. dsdr842 Yes. I think William is sincere in what he says but he’s wasting his time with these two. bLueandy ■ With regard to the energy crisis, surely the answer must be increased storage of gas when prices are lower? This is something the utility companies are reluctant to do because they would have to spend some of their vast profits and curtail the execs’ bonuses. It seems to me the obvious answer is taking the energy companies back into public ownership. Any responsible government would do this so they would then be in a better position to regulate the costs of supply for homes, business and industry in a “global economy”. The profits and bonuses the private companies leech would cover the costs of the facilities needed for storage and future investment. Privatisation of essential utilities does not work. J Randall, Morley, West Yorks ■ With the continuing energy crisis we are now seeing the absolute folly of Margaret Thatcher’s free market strategy for gas and electricity in the late 1980s. I take it the investors in these now failing suppliers will still receive their payouts while everyone else has to dig deep in their pockets just to heat their homes this winter? Surely, now is the time to re-nationalise all our utilities and take back control of costs and prices? I thought that’s what Brexit was all about To have your say, go to mirror.co.uk Free market folly fuels energy crisis – or is it all just another part of the massive Tory lie that conned the British people? John Irving, Leeds Yes. They should focus on climate change. Elephants, tigers and so on are becoming endangered and the Amazon is disappearing. KiwiLass No. Is this the same Prince William whose relatives jet around the world and who have massive palaces using loads of energy? King-bee THe BIG IssUe The energy regulator Ofgem said household bills are likely to spike in the spring as global gas prices continue to surge. The price cap rose by £139 a year this month but some experts fear bills could spiral by up to £800 a year by next April. Meanwhile, unions have warned thousands of industrial jobs are at risk due to the ongoing crisis. You say... ■ I was born at the start of the Second World War and never in my life have I seen this country in such a dreadful state. Wherever I look things are on the verge of collapse, while ministers appear on TV desperately trying to defend the indefensible, from the abysmal handling of the early pandemic to a perfect storm of rocketing energy, food, travel and petrol prices. Then there are falling incomes for millions of people and shortages of labour everywhere. Johnson needs to be replaced. B Evans, Greenfield Rhondda Cynon Taf ■ The Government allowed the energy companies to sell off the national strategic reserves so consumers are vulnerable to every fluctuation in international wholesale prices. The Tories are so short term in everything they do, saving £1 now as opposed to £100 in five years time. George Ord, Nottingham ■ People are going to die this winter because of high energy costs. Heating your home isn’t a luxury and should be completely VAT-free. And, of course, MPs themselves won’t have to make the choice between heating or eating. S T Vaughan, Yardley Wood Birmingham ■ The Conservatives should rename themselves the Ostrich Party because every time there is a problem they head for the seaside and bury their heads in the sand. Wouldn’t it be a sight to behold if they held their Cabinet meetings at the beach? Len Goodwin, Doncaster ■ At this time of high energy prices, would it not be appropriate to consider the environmental damage caused by the manufacture of steel and chemicals? The need for jobs must be weighed against damage caused to health and the environment before any state aid should even be considered. Howard Williams, Swansea shirley scores 10 for kindness It was truly a generous gesture by Strictly judge Shirley Ballas to move her 84-year-old mum into the home she shares with her boyfriend (Mirror, October 12). It’s also wonderful news that her book, Behind the Sequins, is to become a West End musical. Shirley is an inspirational figure for girls who might want to follow in her footsteps to become professional dancers. She has so many qualities to be admired. Jenny Pain Chatham, Kent Hancock’s no success story ■So, ■ Matt Hancock has been appointed as United Nations Special Representative because of his success in handling the UK’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. So does our lack of PPE, crony contracts being handed to Tory friends, and patients with Covid being transferred from hospitals to care homes count as “success”? Shame on the UN for appointing this dreadful man. Joy Barker, Manchester Tweet of the day David Mitchell on his comedy partner Robert Webb’s decision to quit Strictly for health reasons... @RealDMitchell – This is sad! They did some really brilliant dancing. And to those asking if I’ll be stepping in to replace him: I’m afraid not. I prefer to dance like nobody’s watching. And I can only do that if nobody’s watching. ■After ■ Paul Routledge’s column on prostate cancer testing (Oct 12), my husband tried to make an appointment with our GP. After waiting for an hour and a half for someone to answer he was told he couldn’t attend because they haven’t any bottles for blood samples. The receptionist advised him to try ringing back every month. What’s happening to this country?

DM1ST mirror.co.uk FRIDAY 15.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 39 TODAY’S Tv with SARA wALLIS EMMERDALE ITV, 7pm When everyone starts to turn up at the base camp for the survival challenge, David covertly confesses his love to Victoria. But as they walk away, we see that Meena has heard every word of the TURMOIL confession. Furious and David spurred into action, Meena sets a plan in motion to murder Victoria. The villagers get ready for the survival event, with lots of them now taking part. Dubbed “Survival Week”, the dramatic challenge will play out in special episodes next week. CORONATION STREET ITV, 7.30pm & 8.30pm FURIOUS Nina with notebook News of Corey’s transfer to a German club spreads. Nina is furious and when Roy finds a notebook with details of Corey’s training regime, she says she will help find the owner. Toyah is quietly horrified when she finds out from Simon that Imran borrowed his phone to uncover information about Sharon. Aadi suggests a lads’ holiday for him and Dev, to help him get over the Natasha debacle. And Johnny overhears Beth slagging him off to Carla. EASTENDERS BBC1, 8pm Gray tries to withdraw cash using Tina’s bank card but the account has insufficient funds. Later, he meets up with an old colleague to try to get work – and it turns out his old boss Laura has blacklisted him. Jay says no to Billy’s request that Janine stays with them. She eventually manages to win Jay over, but he’ll only let her stay until Honey and Janet return. Meanwhile, in The Albert, a tense Kim and Jack are both waiting for Vince to make an appearance. 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 A woman with animal instincts... LADY BOSS: THE JACKIE COLLINS STORY BBC2, 9pm OOziNg with Hollywood glamour and feminist empowerment, this biographical documentary charts the life, career and persona of Jackie Collins. It takes in everything, from her childhood – namely growing up with her movie star big sister Joan Collins, who is interviewed here – through to reinventing herself into a literary icon. Jackie, who died from breast cancer in 2015 aged 77, was on the outside a bold, big-haired success story. But the film reveals that she always hid her true identity behind her powerful public persona. The documentary weaves in excerpts from Jackie’s teenage diaries – she always wrote everything down – revealing insights into sibling rivalry, insecurities, lovers and celebrity encounters. From an invite to Judy Garland’s cocktail party and playing ping-pong at Gene Kelly’s house to meeting Marlon Brando, the time Jackie and Joan spent in 1950s Hollywood is especially fascinating. So much so that Jackie told Joan: “One day I’m going to write a book about all of this…” And the rest is history. CRISIS PM Robert Carlyle COBRA: CYBERWAR SKY MAX, 9pm The political thriller returns for a second run, starring Robert Carlyle as Prime Minister Robert Sutherland. In the aftermath of both the solar and political storm, democracy is under threat from cyber attacks and fake news movements. Sutherland and his trusted Chief of Staff Anna Marshall (Victoria Hamilton) must steer the country back onto an even keel. It starts, of course, with a crisis as Sutherland, Marshall and new Home Secretary Joseph Obasi are forced to assemble the COBRA emergency committee to respond to an explosive situation in Kent. Meanwhile, former Home Secretary Archie Glover Morgan plots a return to power. But when a suspected Kremlin operation on British soil causes collateral casualties, Sutherland feels compelled to respond with force – against the counsel of his MI5 head, Eleanor James. Before the pandemic we’d have probably dismissed this national emergency plot as being far-fetched – but after the time we’ve all had an “unseen enemy striking from the shadows” seems believable. STAND UP TO CANCER 2021 Channel 4, from 7.30pm It’s a channel takeover as C4 hosts a star-studded night of fundraising for Stand Up To Cancer, with all donations going to Cancer Research UK. Live from London, Davina McCall, Maya Jama, Adam Hills and Alan Carr host, and you can expect to see dozens of famous faces joining in too.

Celebrity Gogglebox returns with some surprising A-list names inviting us into their front rooms. And there’s a special edition of #IsItOk from The Last Leg team.

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

mirror.co.uk Movies DM1ST with ANDY LEA FRIDAY 15.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 45 STAR RATINGS ★★★★★ Excellent ★★★★ Good ★★★ Worth a look ★★ Poor ★ Don’t bother INSPECT A GADGET Barney and his malfunctioning friend THE LAST DUEL Cert 18 ★★★ In cinemas now No one shoots history like Ridley Scott and the thrilling battle scenes in this bloated 152-minute medieval saga should fill a gap until the director’s long-awaited Gladiator sequel arrives. Based on true events, the film recounts the build-up to a duel to DUEL NARRATIVE Matt the death involving Damon and Jodie Comer star Matt Damon’s mulleted knight and Adam Driver’s womanising squire in 14th century France. The story is told from three viewpoints and by three writers (Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Nicole Holofcener). At the centre of the feud is the rape of the knight’s young wife, played by the brilliant Jodie Comer. It can be a grim watch and the film never fully explores issues of memory and testimony raised by the structure. But details of the role of women in feudal France are striking, the final duel is brilliantly staged, and Ben Affleck adds much-needed laughs as a decadent aristocrat. Antisocial media RON’S GONE WRONG Cert PG ★★★★ In cinemas now We have to wait until 2023 to get our paws on the next Paddington movie but, in the meantime, here’s another British-made family charmer. This witty, touching and slyly satirical debut of London-based Locksmith Animation begins with a big tech company launch of new R2-D2-sized companions called B*Bots. When we jump forward a few months, the B*Bot craze is in full swing. Sadly, the only kid without a robot is the one who VENOM: LET THERE bE CARNAGE Cert 15 ★★★ In cinemas now CGI monsters clash again in a second instalment of Tom Hardy’s critic-proof Marvel franchise. But this time there’s an attempt to boost the predictable action scenes with a hint of comedy as superstar news reporter Eddie Brock (Hardy) falls out with the monstrous “symbiote” he picked up in the first film. As we are reunited with this odd couple, Brock is growing tired of sharing his body with Venom, a shouty alien who grants him superhuman strength. The ravenous creature, whom Hardy voices as an amped-up Brian Blessed, desperately wants them to form seems to need one the most. While his classmates make friends and share videos with their new gadgets, 11-year-old misfit Barney Pudowski (voiced by Jack Dylan Grazer) is facing another lunchtime alone. Barney lives with his widowed dad Graham (Ed Helms) and livewire granny Donka (a hilarious Olivia Colman), a Bulgarian refugee. Barney desperately wants his own AI pal but the best his family can afford is a B*Bot that literally fell off the back of a lorry. Ron (Zach Galifianakis), as Barney names him, can’t download the right software but his cinema’s latest crime-fighting duo. But Brock has enough on his plate. His ex-girlfriend (Michelle Williams) just got engaged, his career is in tatters and the half-eaten corpses strewn around his apartment after the 2018 original have attracted the attention of Stephen Graham’s detective. Then he gets bitten by Woody Harrelson’s serial killer Cletus Kasady during a death row interview. Somehow, this spawns a rival monster called Carnage who shares Cletus’s body and enables his escape. It feels like director Andy Serkis’s heart isn’t really in the obligatory monsters’ showdown. He’s on firmer ground with the knockabout set-up where Brock bickers with Venom. The dialogue could be wittier but the quirkiness of this unusual buddy comedy makes it more diverting than its predecessor. ‘‘ Sadly, the only kid without a robot is the one who seems to need it the most wonky arms, dodgy balance and two-bit facial expressions make him a master of slapstick comedy. As Ron helps Barney fight back against the bullies, the kids fishing for “likes” with online pranks feel like the deprived ones. Writers Sarah Smith (Arthur Christmas) and Peter Baynham (Alan Partridge) mix smart visual gags with timely swipes at social media culture. Punches are pulled in the final act where expensive gadget crazes are acceptable as long as kids are kind. But, like Paddington, this is one of those rare family comedies that tickles creaking and growing bones at the same time. CLUCKy MAN Eddie, Venom, and a chicken HE’S bACK Michael Myers, and inset, Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie HALLOWEEN KILLS Cert 18 ★★ In cinemas now The bloodthirsty should be sated by mask-wearing psycho Michael Myers’ latest killing spree. Sadly, suspense and logic are the most noticeable victims of the second instalment of the rebooted slasher franchise. Picking up from the events of 2018’s Halloween (which pretended the previous sequels didn’t exist), the beleaguered residents of Haddonfield take up makeshift weapons to storm a hospital where they believe the killer is hiding. An angry mob defy pleas for calm from police and from Michael’s nemesis Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis), to chase an entirely innocent stranger. The ringleader is the now grown-up Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall), the cute kid protected by Laurie in John Carpenter’s terrifying 1978 original. As he knows Michael is pretty much indestructible, you wonder what he’s hoping to achieve with that baseball bat. Meanwhile, the killer is once again picking off locals on the suburban estate he grew up in (stake it out!) after escaping the climactic fire in the previous instalment. The body count is gut-wrenchingly high but there’s none of the creeping menace that made Carpenter’s film so effective. The horror maestro not only knew how to craft slow-burning suspense, he also knew how to make us care about the teenagers he was stalking. Here, it’s just stranger after stranger being butchered in predictable ways. Flashbacks to 1978 are well staged with the help of a convincing Donald Pleasence lookalike. But the lead characters have seen plenty of Myers before, so you’d think they know not to linger over his seemingly dead body.

46 DAILY MIRROR FRIDAY 15.10.2021 BOOKS DM1ST with ChARLOTTe heAThCOTe Before And Laughter Jimmy Carr Quercus, £20 Could Jimmy Carr change your life? The entertainingly offensive host of 8 Out Of 10 Cats has written a book that is part memoir, part self-help guide (or, as he puts it, “Carr manual”) for people stuck in a rut. He writes You’ve Got To Laugh Alison Hammond Bantam Press, £20 “you’ve got to laugh. I can’t go a day without laughing... If you’re having trouble finding something to laugh about, all you’ve got to do, guys, is fake it until you make it.” Alison Hammond has been cheering up the nation on the small screen for more than two decades. Now, she’s bringing her trademark joie de vivre to her autobiography. Alison was raised in Birmingham by a hardworking single mum and, after she was evicted early from Big Brother in 2002, she could have faded into oblivion. yet she’s become arguably the most successful contestant of all time with an 18-year stint as a showbiz reporter and presenter on This Morning. Alison charts her journey to stardom, sharing plenty of backstage and red carpet gossip along the way. She gives her own spin on the moments that made her famous, from marrying The Rock to being serenaded by Hugh Jackman. But life hasn’t always been easy and the book details many of the toughest moments in her life – from losing her parents just five months apart, to horrifying racial abuse. She also discusses her lifelong battle with her weight. “My life is not going to stop until I reach a certain weight because I might not ever get there,” she writes. “I would rather die as a gladiator in the arena of life than sit on the sidelines being a spectator… So live your life, people, and don’t worry who’s watching.” There’s plenty to be learned from a woman who approaches most aspects of life with a full-bellied laugh. By ROSIE HOPEGOOD Windswept & Interesting Billy Connolly Two Roads, £25 Fired from his first job at 15, Billy Connolly’s family assured him that he’d “never succeed at anything”. Six decades on, the Scottish comedian regularly dubbed “the funniest man alive” has told his life story in his own way. This isn’t a standard autobiography – this is Connolly’s oral history, recorded on his phone then transcribed. It feels like an intimate chat, a mixture of terrific anecdotes and domestic horror stories recalled with painful honesty. Abandoned by his mother, Connolly was physically abused with the authority of somebody who successfully transformed his own life. Aged 25, he had a well-paid but unfulfilling job working in marketing for an oil company. But he reassessed his priorities, took redundancy, and chewed up his savings as he put in the hours grafting in dingy comedy clubs. Carr writes very movingly about his relationship with his mother, and how her death prompted him to reassess his life and change careers. He’s highly entertaining on his unlikely friendship with Stephen Hawking, whom he met at an awards ceremony, and on how it feels to watch the Prime Minister describe your tax arrangements as “morally wrong” on television.

We meet sadistic nuns and psychopathic teachers. One sentence begins: “Apart from being battered mercilessly, I rather liked St Peter’s” – and that was his infant school. At home, his only protector was his sister Florence, just 18 months older, who bathed, fed and dressed him. Always funny, Connolly’s comedy flourished in the Glasgow shipyards where he worked as a welder, and on the Scottish folk scene. Because this is a conversation, he veers off in many directions, all of them interesting. We learn that he loves motorcycling, pizza, drawing, Australia, Florida Now where should I Big Yin? is devoted to impersonal life lessons learned from being a comedian, fleshed out with the parables and inspirational quotes of the self-help genre, though the book is peppered with jokes. There is wisdom here as well as insight into Carr as a person. But he hasn’t applied quite the same rigorous quality control as he does to his stand-up sets. By JAKE KERRIDGE (where he now lives), banjos, public nudity (his own) and naked bungee jumping. His dislikes extend from musicals to racism via mobile phones, political correctness, clowns, holidays and wholemeal bread. Billy talks about his complicated relationship with Catholicism, being heckled by evangelists, his deafness and his health –“I’ve got Parkinson’s disease, and I wish he’d ****ing kept it to himself ”. He also tells funny or astonishing tales involving Gerry Rafferty, Led Zeppelin and Rod Stewart. Billy Connolly’s story has been told before, but never by him and never this well.

The stand-out track, Coloratura, is superb, a sprawling orchestral epic that begins with ethereal piano and continues for more than 10 atmospheric minutes. It’s an achingly beautiful hymn to the afterlife, the great beyond. “We fell in through the clouds and everyone before us is there welcoming us now,” sings Chris Martin. It’s not quite Pink Floyd but it’s tailor-made for festival crowds with a sea of smartphone torches. “In the end it’s all about the love you’re sending out,” Martin Kelly Clarkson When Christmas Comes Around Christmas? Already? This is the mega-selling pop star’s second festive song collection. Texan Kelly lends her sweet, soulful falsetto to a mix of covers including Jingle Bell Rock and Last Christmas, and tuneful originals such as the upbeat post-break up knees-up Christmas Isn’t Cancelled (Just You). Expect an Easter LP in January. adds, channelling George Harrison. Other absolute belters include the anthemic People Of The Pride which begins with a keyboard fanfare before building into a simple but addictive glam rock riff. If Marc Bolan had lived into the synthesiser era, he’d have sounded like this. He’d have dug the defiant lyrics too as Chris Martin declares “We’re no longer going to fight The Charlatans A Head Full Of Ideas The sound of Madchester via the West Midlands. With their Hammond organ and 60s R&B influences, the Charlatans flourished in the trippy 90s. Copious substance abuse didn’t dent their ability to write hits, from The Only One I Know onwards. There are 21 of their greatest baggy grooves here, including Weirdo and How High. for some old crook and all his crimes…” Humankind is stirring and ebullient, sweeping you along to a chorus that explodes like one of Gwyneth’s candles, while Let Somebody Go is a tender break-up ballad featuring Selena Gomez. Martin sings, “When I called the mathematicians and asked them to explain/they say love is only equal to the pain.” The more straightforward pop songs are less impressive. Biutyful is syrupy cod-soul. My Universe, a collaboration with BTS, sounds like K-Pop Daft Punk with the familiar message, “We are all one in the universe”. Chris tempts reviewers on Higher Power, a song redolent of Genesis at their most easy listening. “I’m like a broken record,” he declares. Brace yourself for the punchline. Eva Cassidy Live At Blues Alley What a singer, what a talent, what a loss. Britain took to American Eva’s sweet soprano voice, perfect pitch and inspired phrasing before US audiences did. In 1996, she cashed in a pension to fund this superb album of choice standards. Jazz, folk, country – perfectionist Eva did the lot.

The pair last locked horns when Adayar come out on top in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot in July over a mile and a half. Adayar went on to finish fourth in the Arc de Triomphe a fortnight ago, also over 12 furlongs. But after pleasing his trainer Charlie Appleby (right) in a gallop yesterday, Adayar was given the thumbs up to go down in trip two furlongs for tomorrow’s top-of-the-bill contest. “Mishriff came out after Ascot and dominated the Juddmonte International at York, over the distance of Saturday’s race,” said Appleby. “But we are happy to meet him over the mile and a quarter.” Adayar is second favourite with Coral at 7-4, with Mishriff topping the betting at 6-4. Victory for Adayar could be a crucial winner for William Buick, who is chasing Oisin Murphy for the jockeys’ title. Stradivarius was also given the go-ahead for another showdown with Trueshan in the Long- Distance Cup. The pair last met at Longchamp where Trueshan proved the master. With ground conditions favouring Trueshan, he is the 11-8 favourite to make it backto-back victories against 7-2 shot Stradivarius. Trueshan’s partner, Hollie Doyle, will team up with the Aidan O’Brientrained La Joconde in the Champion Fillies and Mares Stakes.

East German Schneider later admitted to being part of a systematic doping programme. Now FINA, swimming’s governing body, are set to investigate similar historic issues going back to the 1970s and 1980s. Davies told the BBC: “It would be lovely if it was recognised. For my dad, who is now 85 and still coaching, it would be lovely if that medal could come while he’s still here.” snooKer rocket: biNg is real tHiNg By Hector NuNNs RONNIE O’SullIVAN says ‘yan the Man’ will be snooker’s next pack leader. The Rocket lost a Northern Ireland Open thriller 4-3 to reigning Masters champion yan Bingtao to exit at the last-16 stage. The 21-year-old from China kept his cool under intense pressure from six-time world champion O’Sullivan to close out a superb win. And the Rocket believes yan (above) has the talent and temperament to leave a big legacy, saying: “yan is a very good player and the best young one out there. He never looks intimidated and has great temperament.” John Higgins roared back from 3-0 down to seal a 4-3 win over ‘Class of 92’ rival Mark Williams.

The Bromley-born 20-yearold is one of a cluster of players in Paul Anderson’s squad that have enjoyed rapid rises to prominence in 2021. Pearce-Paul’s physical presence – he stands at 6ft 5ins – and deft handling skills quickly marked him down as one to watch despite Wigan’s difficult season. Tonight he faces Jamaica in Jordan Turner’s testimonial at Castleford, hoping to take the next step on his career ladder. But he has not forgotten the first few rungs in London Broncos’ scholarship. “It was two and a half hours to drive or two hours on the train, sometimes I could be back at 1am,” said Pearce-Paul. “It was a big ask and I had to dedicate myself to it. “But it paid off in the end and it was definitely worth it. “My mum was taking me and my brothers everywhere, she was awesome. When it got to the age I was a bit older and could travel on my own, it was getting the train to the Broncos – I was always running out of school early. “I was just known as ‘the league kid’ – that one kid at school that played league.” Pearce-Paul was spotted by Wigan impressing for the Broncos in an academy game and signed a four-year deal at the age of 17. “It was scary at first, a big ask as a young boy,” he admitted. “But luckily for me, especially the older ones at Wigan took me under their wing and showed me around. “Willie Isa (left) really made sure I was alright and Wigan in general were great – they would cover my train tickets and make sure I was fine with seeing my family.” Asked about his handling skills, Pearce-Paul added: “It just came naturally. “I played a bit of basketball so maybe that helped the onehanded carry. “When I was growing up I always had really long arms and legs, and it just became part of my arsenal.” Now the back-rower is aiming to make an impression on his Knights bow. He said: “The first goal is to win and honour your country in the right way. “Personally, I just want to do what I’m known for – offload, run hard and have a proper dig.” liaM leFt out oF lioNs sQuaD By giDeoN brooks BIG-HITTING liam livingstone has been overlooked for England’s 14-man lions squad heading to Australia this winter.

While Saqib Mahmood, Dom Sibley (right) and Matt Kai of the tiger Pearce-Paul plays in a testimonial for Jordan Turner (below) tonight Parkinson will hope to make a dart into Joe Root’s squad should injury hit or their form demands, lancashire batsman livingstone (left) has been snubbed. England have been accused by some top pundits of selecting a ‘predictable’ Ashes squad and livingstone, 28, who averages 38.36 in first class cricket, would have been an exciting left-field pick. But performance chief Mo Babat said: “liam’s clearly a player of highpotential. He’s had a fantastic year, particularly in white-ball cricket. “From a red-ball perspective, quite simply, it felt like there were other players ahead of him. His numbers in the last couple of years might not have been what he’s wanted.” eNGLAND LIONS: Abell (som), Bohannon (lancs), Bracey (Glos), carse (Dur), crane (Hants), Fisher (Yorks), Foakes (surr), lees (Dur), Mahmood (lancs), Norwell (Warks), M Parkinson (lancs), sibley (Warks), smith (surr), Yates (Warks).

Not playing again leaves a big void and life can get very lonely Ex-walEs star williams on how charity challEngEs havE hElpEd him copE By alex spink Rugby Correspondent @alexspinkmirror The pain began before Tower Bridge. By mile 15 Shane Williams’ glutes and hamstrings were pleading for mercy. As he left the City and passed along the Embankment his head started to throb. His shoulders cramped up. Finally, his calf went. Yet when Wales’ record tryscorer finished the London Marathon he thought, ‘How good was that’. “Worth every second of the pain,” said the wing wizard. “Loved every moment. It gave me the feeling back By alex spink MARCUS SMITH starts his first game of the season as champions again.” It is a decade since Williams’ last Test, seven years since he announced his retirement. He thrived in the land of rugby giants but this pocket rocket makes no such claim about life beyond the final whistle. “I knew there was going to be a big void in my life once rugby had gone,” he said. “Not playing was something I absolutely dreaded. It’s the camaraderie of the day to day stuff you miss the most. I struggled without it.” Williams was luckier than most. He started to prepare while still running rings round Harlequins look to continue their unbeaten start at Sale. The England fly-half is one of three changes to the side which overturned a 21-0 deficit to stick 50 points on Bristol a opponents. Before the last of his 58 Wales tries he began putting in place charity challenges, be they Ironman, marathon, gruelling bike rides. “People always think, ‘You played rugby or football, you earned quite a bit of money, you did quite well, you must be fine’,” he said. “But everyone has their pro blems. Money doesn’t solve everything. We all cry, whether we’re a 6ft 11in second row or a 5ft 6in winger that used to play for Wales. We all get upset, depressed, suffer from anxiety in some shape or form.” Last weekend brought Mental Health Day and a reminder that, week ago. Smith replaces the injured Tommaso Allan tonight, while James Chisholm and Luke Northmore come in for Tom Lawday and Louis Lynagh respectively. Sale, with just one as Williams puts it, “life’s not all sunshine and rainbows”. He added: “You go from spending almost every day – breakfast, lunch, sometimes dinner – with these boys around you. Then one day they’re not there any more. It can be very, very lonely. “I’ve spoken to a lot of lads who really struggled and at times been in dark places. Some are still struggling five to 10 years after retiring. As a sport we need to look out for each other more.” Williams’ run - a personal best of 3hr 24min - was for Velindre Cancer Centre.

Norrie was runner-up at the San Diego Open earlier this month and backed that up here by reaching the last eight of a Masters 1000 event for the first time. As well as moving past Dan Evans in the national rankings, victory also means he is set to break into the world’s top 20. Norrie (left) said: “It was such a big moment for me playing my first Masters 1000 quarterfinal, especially against Diego. “I thought I was in for an absolute battle. It’s probably the biggest win of my career. I’m really happy with the way I handled everything.” US Open champion Emma Raducanu has pulled out of next week’s Kremlin Cup in Moscow following her secondround loss at Indian Wells.

They know it is virtually impossible to fly the duo back to face Watford in tomorrow’s lunchtime game at Vicarage Road because their World Cup qualifier with Uruguay kicked off at 1.30am UK time today. The qualifier was in Manaus and Fabinho says the Reds are investigating the possibility of jetting him and Alisson to the Spanish capital to avoid their 10-day hotel quarantine in the UK. Liverpool face Atletico on Tuesday night in the Champions League at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium and Fabinho and Alisson would be able to rest before their team-mates joined them on Monday.

With all of what is involved, including travel, I don’t know how much time we will have between one game and the other. “We will also need to quarantine, but the club is still studying whether it is better to go straight to Spain to play Atletico and quarantine there, without staying in a hotel in England.” Brazil coach Tite ruled out releasing his nine Premier League play- ers before the Uruguay game, even though his team top the South America qualifying group and are virtual certainties to make it to Qatar.

Newcastle saga drags oN Newcastle v totteNham Sunday, KO 4.30pm 1,000 games, but life ain’t grand If he makes this landmark on Sunday, Bruce will be a lame-duck boss, unwanted by the fans or new owners By simoN bird @SimonBird_ if steve Bruce does make it to his 1,000th game on sunday, he will be a lameduck manager. Newcastle fans want him out and the group that now owns the club have refused to back him publicly. United’s players have existed in an awkward limbo this week, working with Bruce and No.2 Graeme Jones on the training ground while wondering who is next in the hot seat. The new regime’s boss is the same as the old one. For now. Bruce staying on, however briefly, risks what will be a fresh start in front of a celebratory St James’ Park crowd turning sour if Tottenham take the points. Top candidates such as Brendan Rodgers and Antonio Conte have no interest in the Toon job, preferring their next move to be actual elite, rather than wannabe winner. A week on from the £305million takeover being completed, it turns out overhauling a football club is not a quick or easy job. Patience, and a long-term attitude prevail. The new owners faced a dilemma. Briefings from close to the consortium that Bruce would be sacked early this week had the premIer taBle P w D l F a Pts chelsea 7 5 1 1 15 3 16 liverpool 7 4 3 0 17 6 15 man city 7 4 2 1 14 3 14 man Utd 7 4 2 1 14 6 14 everton 7 4 2 1 13 8 14 Brighton 7 4 2 1 8 5 14 Brentford 7 3 3 1 10 6 12 tottenham 7 4 0 3 6 10 12 west ham 7 3 2 2 14 10 11 aston Villa 7 3 1 3 10 9 10 arsenal 7 3 1 3 5 10 10 wolves 7 3 0 4 5 6 9 leicester 7 2 2 3 9 12 8 crystal Palace 7 1 4 2 8 11 7 watford 7 2 1 4 7 10 7 leeds 7 1 3 3 7 14 6 southampton 7 0 4 3 5 10 4 Burnley 7 0 3 4 5 11 3 Newcastle 7 0 3 4 8 16 3 Norwich 7 0 1 6 2 16 1 United boss seething. He still had to prepare his squad for Sunday’s game with players thinking he was on the way out. The owners promised a careful process of evaluation across the club, which is said to be an arduous process. While it is clear Bruce is not the longterm solution, the question asked was why sack him immediately DM1ST without a replacement lined up? Why leave just Jones and Ben Dawson in charge on their own, and facing flak if they lose the next few games, when Bruce, Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence could hold the fort a bit longer. To counter that, the new regime wants to create momentum. Would that be possible with Bruce in the dug-out a n d chants demanding his sacking echoing around the ground. Bruce (below) has a decision to make about whether to be wheeled out as boss and forced to field awkward questions about his future and the new owners, or put his foot down and demand clarity. Complicating matters was Bruce’s £8m pay-off, which no manager would jeopardise. The race is now on to find a replacement that tallies with the Saudi Arabia-backed consortium’s stated ambition of getting to the Champions League and challenging for the Premier League title. Toon are being linked with a series of big names, although it is understood Leicester City’s Rodgers has a long-term aim of bossing Manchester City and is not interested. Zinedine Zidane was sounded out but believes he could become France manager. Rookie Frank Lampard is the new favourite, with Rangers manager Steven Gerrard, also in the frame. Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has worked four times with Toon coach Jones. Arsene Wenger, currently working with FIFA, who have fostered close relations with Saudi Arabia, has topquality pedigree having built the modern Arsenal. STEVE STILL IN HOT SEAT from Back page and 80 percent shareholders – the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia – now look set to keep Bruce until a replacement head coach is landed. He is unhappy his position has been undermined this week as he tried to prepare the squad. Fans have been demanding for weeks that Bruce be axed to give the club an immediate fresh start, and he has had no public backing from his new employers. Staveley (above) has so far only insisted the squad is better than their current position of 19th. And it is believed she thanked Bruce for twice keeping the club in the Premier League – allowing the £305million takeover to go through – during an amicable meeting on Monday. Meanwhile, Newcastle are being bombarded with offers to sign players every DAY. One agent, who has helped broker a handful of Premier League deals in the past two years, said: “This kind of scenario, where a club suddenly has loads of cash is like the lottery for agents.”

DM1ST mirror.co.uk/sport FRIDAY 15.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 55 ANDY DUNN Britain’s best Sports Writer Muzza f-word is for fighting FOR a knight of the realm, Sir Andy Murray’s one-word, four-letter reaction on social media to his defeat by Alex Zverev at Indian Wells was not very becoming. But it did show the flames of competitive instinct still rage, even if the talent does not burn as brightly. This year, Murray has failed to beat an opponent ranked higher than 26 in the world. His own ranking will fall to below the 170 mark and he will have to rely on wildcard entries. That has made some observers rue the prospect of him cursing his way to retirement, his path to the door littered with early-round exits against players who could not have lived with him when he was in his prime. You get their point. But this is what Murray does. Despite his succinct, foul-mouthed response to another loss, he is enjoying the fight… the fight against age, the fight against his metal hip. And, while he continues to enjoy that fight, he should carry on. For everything he achieved in his career, he has earned that right. SPORTING story of this weekend should be the finale of the nip-and-tuck battle between William Buick and Oisin Murphy for the flat jockeys’ title. Either would be a worthy champion but, considering he has served a ban for testing positive for cocaine – which he successfully claimed was an inadvertent result of a sexual encounter – and was also stood down from racing for a day last week when failing a breath test for alcohol, Murphy would certainly make the more maverick one. That is for sure. Silence is apt ... and golden WHATEVER happened to a minute’s silence in memory of a cherished footballer or anyone else for that matter? Now, the minute’s applause is standard. Which is nice… but we applaud a decent free-kick. The applause is to celebrate the joyousness of the individual’s life and that is great. But let’s not forget half the reason the period of applause was started – because authorities were fed up with a minute’s silence being disturbed by idiots. It is no big deal. But sometimes, a period of personal, quiet reflection would just seem more appropriate. While FIFA are looking at vanity projects, they’re ignoring violence, racism & discrimination THUGS of whatever nationality were laying into English police at Wembley while, over in Albania, a game was being stopped because a goalscorer and his team-mates had been pelted with bottles and other missiles. And what, coincidentally, was Gianni Infantino up to? Suggesting Israel and Palestine might jointly hold a World Cup. Seriously. It is hard to know where to start with that one. If you think FIFA have long since lost the plot, it is no wonder. Their leaders get so dizzy with power, they start believing it is their gig to deliver world peace. It happened to Sepp Blatter, in a big way. He was after a Nobel Peace Prize and Vladimir Putin actually championed him for one, which tells you all you need to know. Infantino (top) seems to have gone full Blatter. The signs were there, early doors, when he came up with the ‘Legends’ idea. That was basically just him getting to play football with the likes of Paolo Maldini, Marco van Basten, Carles Puyol and the late Diego IT TURNS SO UGLY Hungary fans on the rampage at Wembley while supporters in Albania (above) also brought shame Maradona. For charity, of course. No sort of vanity project, whatsoever. It seems when you are the top man at FIFA, you think you are on a par with the most powerful people on the world. And considering the role football plays in global life, perhaps you are. Schmoozing with world leaders appears to be part of the job and Infantino has shown a penchant for it. It was not that long ago when he was having a cosy sit-down with the pride of Newcastle and Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman. While the access to these sorts of people, and the associated fame of mixing with former greats, might intoxicate FIFA leaders, there is no doubt it is part of the job. If you are organising a World Cup in Russia, probably best to speak to the country’s president. But the job of FIFA – along with UEFA and all the national associations – is to ensure the smooth running of the game and to keep it safe for people to take part in and watch. If the evidence of recent times is anything to go by, the spectre of violence, racism and discrimination is returning. You could name a dozen international games over the past couple of years that have been blighted by hooliganism or racism or homophobia or generally rank anti-social behaviour. It is not only international football which has been troubled. There have been countless instances of violent disruption in club football. Is the sort of violence – much of it rooted in right-wing ideology and racism – that many of us have seen in the past poisoning football again? That might be overdramatising matters. But what is for sure is the fight against its return – if it has ever been away – is far more of a priority than organising a biennial World Cup. Which is why FIFA, UEFA and the national associations have to get tougher. Don’t worry about the injustices of deducting points or expelling teams. The real crime will be if the likes of FIFA effectively stand by and allows the racists, the bigots, the thugs, to re-establish a hideous foothold in the game. And when he is not grandstanding and seeing himself as some sort of major statesman, Infantino needs to remember that. Pay-per-view takes stars out of the spotlight IT will be a while yet before the pay-perview figures come in but my guess is they will be pretty underwhelming. Not by subscription TV box office standards, but by the numbers a fight such as Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder III would have achieved on terrestrial television. It is likely more people watched live coverage of the Manchester derby in the Women’s Super League last weekend than the live coverage of the epic heavyweight world title contest in Las Vegas (left). Which made me think two things. What a shame, when it came to live sport, the BBC immediately threw in the towel when challenged by the commercial opposition. And what a shame so many great sportsmen and women will never be really truly appreciated because they choose to only make themselves properly visible to people who have got a few quid.

56 DAILY MIRROR FRIDAY 15.10.2021 Mikel: Pat so tough By TONY BANKS MIKEL ARTETA admits that it was tough playing against Patrick Vieira when the Arsenal legend was at his peak. Arteta’s Gunners face Vieira’s Crystal Palace on Monday at the Emirates. The former Arsenal captains only faced each other a few times as players, Arteta on the end of a 7-0 thrashing at Highbury as an Everton player. And twice when midfielder Vieira, at the end of his career, had moved to Manchester City. Asked if would have fancied playing against Vieira at his peak, in the Arsenal ‘Invincibles’ era, when they won the league unbeaten in 2003-04, Gunners boss Arteta said: “No! Patrick was very dominant. He was physically and technically really gifted. “He had the right temper, was brave and scored goals. He did a bit of everything. He was remarkable. “He is an Arsenal legend and I hope he gets the reception he deserves.

He was not there because of me. i just happened to play in his position. it was tough to live with. “i was not responsible for his absence in the national team. it was kind of a media thing. i never had a problem with him. i enjoyed playing with him. “We were not best friends, but there was never really a problem. He exposed himself in the media when someone asked him who was better, him or Giroud?

The former Arsenal and Chelsea centre-forward’s 90 goals in 255 games puts him above Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Eden Hazard and Dennis Bergkamp in the alltime scorers list. But he does not always get the respect his remarkable career deserves even though he won the World Cup with France, Champions League with Chelsea and three FA Cups with Arsenal. In fact, in each of his six summers at the Gunners, there was talk of an upgrade because Giroud supposedly was not good enough to take them to the next level even though he reached the top of the game and his old club did not. “Of course it hurts,” he said. “I’m a human being, a person with emotions and the most important thing is not to pay attention to what people say on social media “But my record?

Giroud, 35, who joined AC Milan in the summer, said: “There are so many good examples. Here in Milan, Paolo Maldini (right) led a good way of life, played until his 40s. Zlatan (top) is so professional and I pay attention to that and bad. I’m very happy with that. The story of my life has been people asking if I think I was a bit underrated. I think it’s also partly because I’m not a centreforward with the skills the youngsters dream about. “But I think the most important thing is to be very efficient because as a striker you’re judged on your statistics, how many goals you score. I’m happy to do the pressing that others don’t do ‘My record? That’s and the s*** that others don’t want to do. It’s so important to me. “As a striker, you will always be judged on the stats and when I look back, I tell myself I’m so thankful to god that I’m on the pitch to enjoy my career. He’s always alongside me to help me to make the right decisions. “I’ve won so many things in my career that I could never have imagined when I started. When I look back, I am very proud.” Giroud’s new book, Always Believe, has a fitting title as it reveals how being a Christian gave him faith on the pitch and to never give up when others I’ll play on Into my fortIes it’s important.

His career is littered with setbacks, from being dumped by his first club Grenoble for not being good enough, to leaving both Arsenal and Chelsea to chase more game time to play for France. Giroud quit Arsenal after six years in January 2018 to join Chelsea, won the FA Cup and did enough to get a place in France’s World Cup squad. Les Bleus won the trophy just two years after losing the Euros final on home soil. He recognises the symmetry with England losing the Euros three months ago and now going for glory in Qatar next year. Paul Pogba gave France a pre-final team talk, telling them they could not go through the heartbreak of the Euros again. “That was part of our success because we had to remember the pain we had to lose the final against Portugal,” said Giroud. “It helped us to remember never to suffer that moment again. “I couldn’t be happier than to come back and win the World Cup.

FRIDAY 15.10.2021 DAILY MIRROR 57 jOhn cross He’s got his ear to the ground and his finger on the pulse Gareth facing a hectic calendar THE grand FIFA plan has been for a major international tournament every summer. And it almost slipped under the radar that England will have four Nations League games next June in what will feel like a mini end-ofseason tournament. The Premier League season ends on May 22 and is likely to restart on August 6, which means an incredibly busy summer for top international stars ahead of the World Cup which runs from November 21 to December 18. England will be in pot three for the Nations League having finished third last time round. The draw is on December 16 and they should end up playing four games in June, two in September with the finals due to be played in June 2023. If the Three Lions win their World Cup qualifying group and avoid the play-offs, they will have two free international dates in March with boss Gareth Southgate (below) planning to play two friendlies which will almost certainly be at Wembley. It means incredibly busy summers ahead but worth remembering Chelsea’s Mason Mount did say this week that he would relish the opportunity to play big games every year. Real Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois fired a broadside at UEFA for organising a third-place play-off in this year’s Nations League finals. However, they remain in place at the behest of national associations who actually want the second game rather than send the players back early. DAVID MOYES is embracing West Ham’s wonderful history by throwing the doors open to past players and club legends. Former Hammer Joe Cole has been invited to the training ground, Rob Green has been there and the likes of Sir Trevor Brooking with his legacy will be just as welcome. Boss Moyes is doing such a good job and one of his greatest qualities is using previous success as a platform for the future. He has changed the mood at the club and bringing back Irons icons is another smart move which will go down well with fans. RAFA BENITEZ has always been clever with his man-management. But the re-emergence of Demarai Gary at Everton under Benitez is particularly eye-catching. The Toffees boss has been a long-term admirer and always stayed in touch, so when he became available at a bargain price, there was only one winner. Gray’s success will come as no surprise to Benitez. THE uneasy truce over the release of international players to red-list zones has helped stars fly around the globe. But one condition for players being able to play and train during their 10-day quarantine was they were expected to be fully vaccinated. So it may be revealing if some players have a prolonged absence. PHIL FODEN is set to sign a mega six-year deal with Manchester City and is already represented by highly respected adviser Owen Brown.

The midfielder, 28, (above) is out of contract in the summer and has rejected United’s extension offer, fearing he will not get enough playing time. He has grown frustrated with his role among Ole gunnar solskjaer’s supporting cast and wants to feature more regularly. Lingard has played six times for the reds this season, mostly as a substitute, but has still managed two goals. Barcelona and aC Milan are keen on the england star and the prospect of landing a proven attacker with a goal threat for nothing next summer.

He is a liked and loved member of the team. “it’s devastating news for the club, but david is very strong... i’ve no doubt he will be back out there. “We must make sure we are behind him and the great thing about football is it can unite people. “it does not matter who you support. david is feeling that and is going to need to feel it over the next few months.” By JoHn CroSS Chief Football Writer @johncrossmirror RAHEEM STERLING has established himself as one of the Premier League’s biggest stars. The England forward has enjoyed six glorious years at Manchester City, winning three titles, the FA Cup and four League Cups. He has also become one of the most respected voices within the sport, was England’s best player at the Euros and has become one of football’s most marketable stars. But at the heart of everything remains Sterling’s love of the game, which is why his situation at the Etihad is deeply affecting him. He lives for football, this is not about money but wanting to play. Sterling, 26, said: “From a young child, football has been the most important thing in my life. My most happiest I should say. “When I play football that is where I get my happiness from. And, of course, with family as well but football for me has a special place in my heart. “With everything that comes with football, money, being able to do nice things... at the end of the day, if my football is not at a certain standard I’m not really at my happiest. “If I want my happiness at a certain level I need to be playing football. I need to be scoring goals. And enjoying myself.” Sterling (right, with Nathan Ake) is clearly not at his happiest – he has started only two Premier League games for City this season. The ex-Liverpool star says he will not complain but equally feels it will take time to adjust to playing as a No.9 if that is where boss Pep Guardiola sees him. Despite losing his place this season, Sterling’s maturity and professionalism has been noted and saluted within the City camp. This is not an immature player sulking because he is not in the team.

But if Guardiola does not see him as a regular starter then he will have to think about moving on. Sterling shook the football world by leaving Anfield in 2015 to join City in a £49million deal and his success since then has fully justified the decision. But now, six years on, Sterling finds himself at another crossroads as the clock is ticking on his current contract, which expires in 2023. It is crunch time and, even though it would be unthinkable for City to consider selling him in January, that could change if he does not sign by next summer. City remain confident he will re-sign but Sterling’s mindset is pretty clear. He set out his own objectives in a frank conversation at the FT’s Business of Sport Summit. But his philosophy also reveals his burning ambition and why he is not content to just sit on the bench. When asked about his targets, he said: “Keeping humble, keeping that hard working spirit, chasing the next goal and trying to do better than I did last season. “Trying to get better numbers than I did last season. Keeping that hunger. Keeping that in your stomach. That’s the only way you can get better from here. “Consistency. You might have a Champions League game midweek against one of the biggest teams in Europe, then at the weekend you might have to travel to one of the teams in the relegation zone. “It’s having that same will and desire. Going to Champions League and then doing the same thing on a cold day somewhere where a team is fighting for survival. “It’s that consistency. To win and want to win. “It gets to the point where you are, ‘Right, OK, now this is the direction I need to go to get to the next level and when I get there, OK, what’s the next level up?’ “You’re always trying to make a step up and there are frustrations along that way. It’s how you overcome them to keep elevated.”

That will be a concern to England boss Gareth Southgate (above) who has always trusted him as one of his most important players – which is another factor in his concerns about his future at city.
