jom hilig President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Monday, had his first media chat with some select journalists, addressing critical national issues ranging from security, governance, and economic reforms to social welfare. Tribune Online takes a look at some major highlights. Here are five takeaways from the media chat: ALSO READ: Bauchi: UNFPA upgrades two PHCs to improve family health President Tinubu expressed condolences to families affected by recent stampede incidents linked to charity, he emphasized the importance of responsible giving. “Condolences to those who lost a family member, but it is good to give,” he said. “I have been giving out foodstuff and commodities in Bourdillon. If you know you don’t have enough to give, don’t attempt or publicize it.” Addressing the nation’s security challenges, Tinubu expressed optimism in the current security architecture, citing notable improvements in previously volatile regions. “Today, I have confidence in my security architecture,” he said. “It is very, very unfortunate that, for two decades, we witnessed wanton killings. I remember when I had to pause my campaign to pay condolence visits to Maiduguri, Katsina, Kaduna, and Kogi. Today, you can travel these roads, which were once impossible. It took one incident to disrupt an organized environment.” Tinubu defended his administration’s decision to remove the fuel subsidy and harmonize foreign exchange rates, describing them as necessary steps for Nigeria’s economic recovery. “We were spending our future. We were spending our generation’s fortune. We were not investing; we were just deceiving ourselves,” he said. These measures, according to Tinubu, are essential to redirect the country toward sustainable development despite the initial economic shocks. The President reaffirmed his commitment to implementing comprehensive tax reforms aimed at aligning Nigeria’s economy with global standards. “Tax reform is here to stay,” he declared. “We cannot continue to do what we were doing yesterday in today’s economy. Tinubu emphasized the importance of creating an efficient tax system that fosters economic growth while reducing dependency on oil revenues. Acknowledging the temporary hardships caused by his administration’s policies, Tinubu urged Nigerians to remain patient and hopeful. “The reforms come with temporary hardships, but conviction about their long-term positive impacts is key in this journey,” he stated. “It is not going to be Eldorado for everybody. But the new dawn is here. “I am convinced, and you should be convinced, and you should help propagate that conviction.”

(AP) — Brock Purdy threw one short pass in the open portion of practice for the San Francisco 49ers as he remains slowed by an injury to his throwing shoulder that has already forced him to miss a game.

(AP Photo/Jed Jacobsohn) SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy threw one short pass in the open portion of practice for the San Francisco 49ers as he remains slowed by an injury to his throwing shoulder that has already forced him to miss a game. Purdy spent the bulk of the session of Wednesday's practice open to reporters as either a spectator or executing handoffs outside of one short pass to Jordan Mason. Purdy hurt his shoulder during a loss to Seattle on Nov. 17. He tried to throw at practice last Thursday but had soreness in his right shoulder and shut it down. He missed a loss to Green Bay but was able to do some light throwing on Monday. His status for this week remains in doubt as the Niners (5-6) prepare to visit Buffalo on Sunday night. Purdy isn't the only key player for San Francisco dealing with injuries. Left tackle Trent Williams and defensive end Nick Bosa remain sidelined at practice Wednesday after missing last week's game. Williams was using a scooter to get around the locker room as he deals with a left ankle injury. Bosa has been out with injuries to his left hip and oblique. Bosa said the week off helped him make progress and that he hopes to be able to take part in individual drills later in the week. Bosa wouldn't rule out being able to play on Sunday. "It’s feeling a lot better,” Bosa said. “Still need to get better before I’m ready to go. This week will be big and I’ll know a lot more in the next couple of days.” Running back Christian McCaffrey has been able to play, but isn't back to the form that helped him win AP Offensive Player of the Year in 2023 after missing the first eight games this season with Achilles tendinitis. McCaffrey has 149 yards rushing in three games back with his 3.5 yards per carry down significantly from last season's mark of 5.4. But he is confident he will be able to get back to his usual level of play. “When you lose and maybe you don’t jump out on the stat sheet, your failures are highlighted,” he said. “I’m happy I’m out here playing football and I just know with time it will come.” Coach Kyle Shanahan said he has liked what he has seen from McCaffrey, adding that there hasn't been much room to run in recent weeks. But Shanahan said it takes time to get back to speed after McCaffrey had almost no practice time for nine months. “Guys who miss offseasons and miss training camp, usually it takes them a little bit of time at the beginning of the year to get back into how they were the year before, let alone missing half the season also on top of that,” Shanahan said. “I think Christian’s doing a hell of a job. But to just think him coming back in Week 8 with not being able to do anything for the last nine months or whatever it is, and to think he’s just going to be in MVP form is a very unrealistic expectation.” NOTES: LB Dre Greenlaw took part in his first practice since tearing his Achilles tendon in the Super Bowl. Greenlaw will likely need a couple of weeks of practice before being able to play. ...

As U.S. goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher looked ahead to the next Women's World Cup in 2027, she calculated what that would look like at her age. Now 36, she already has a World Cup title and won an Olympic gold medal this year in France. She considered the mental, physical and emotional toll of a new cycle and decided it was time to step away . “Honestly, I think I’ve been somebody that has given everything I’ve had to this team. I don’t do anything halfway. It’s kind of, if you can give 100% to it, then keep going," she said. “With that in mind, I kind of just felt like this was the right time coming off of the Olympics, having the year that we had, entering into a new cycle, a new stage for this team.” Naeher is the latest veteran to announce she's stepping down from the national team as the next generation takes over under coach Emma Hayes. Among those who have wrapped up their soccer careers in the past couple of years include World Cup winners Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Kelley O'Hara and Ali Krieger. Naeher will be with the team for two more matches in the coming week. The Americans play England at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and then the Netherlands in The Hague on Tuesday. Naeher said she's excited about the next generation of goalkeepers. In addition to Naeher, Mandy Haught of the Utah Royals and Phallon Tullis-Joyce of Manchester United are on the roster for the upcoming matches. Other goalkeepers who have been on recent rosters include Casey Murphy and Jane Campbell. “I think the beauty of goalkeeping is that it’s not really a one-size-fits-all kind of position," she said. "The more that you can understand — that's going to be the challenge any young goalkeeper coming up, is really taking the time to understand what your strengths are and make them really, really elite and separate yourself.” Naeher spoke on Wednesday from London after announcing her retirement on social media Monday . Naeher made her senior debut with the national team in 2014 and was a backup to Hope Solo at the 2015 World Cup, which the United States won. She became the team’s regular starter following the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and was on the squad that repeated as World Cup winners in 2019. Naeher won a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 before the U.S. earned gold this year in Paris. She made a key one-handed save in stoppage time to preserve the Americans’ 1-0 victory over Brazil in the Olympic final. For her career, Naeher has appeared 113 games with 110 starts, 88 wins and 68 shutouts. She had four shutouts over the course of the Olympic tournament in France. While she's leaving the national team, she'll play one more year for her club team, the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women's Soccer League. “I hope that I can be remembered as a good teammate, as a competitor, as somebody that was looked on as someone that could be relied upon on the field and supported those players around me,” she said. “I think it’s just been a really special team to be a part of. And I’m very proud of what we have been able to accomplish over the years.” AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerEast Carolina wins 71-64 over Stetson

AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLWhy do many customers prefer to use kraft paper as the raw material for packaging boxes? 11-22-2024 11:14 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire Why do many customers prefer to use kraft paper as the raw material for packaging boxes? Paper packaging is the most common packaging material. Compared with other packaging (wooden boxes, plastic boxes [ https://www.tapplastics.com/plastics/plastic_containers ], woven bags), carton and paper box packaging have the characteristics of easy material acquisition, light weight, easy printing, design and molding, low cost, etc., and are widely used in commodity sales packaging and commodity transportation packaging. Commonly used paper packaging materials are white cardboard and kraft paper. So, why do many customers prefer to use kraft paper [ https://www.papermart.com/p/medium-lightweight-brown-kraft/4596 ] boxes as the raw material of packaging boxes? There are many reasons why kraft paper is favored by customers as a raw material for packaging boxes. Here are the main points: 1. Environmental protection and sustainability Renewable resources: Kraft paper is usually made from renewable wood resources and is a natural and degradable material. Recyclability: Kraft paper is easy to recycle and reuse, which helps reduce environmental pollution. The process of kraft paper in the production process is also very simple. Compared with other materials, the chemical cost used for kraft paper is very small. Biodegradability: Kraft paper can be naturally degraded and will not cause long-term pollution to the environment. Kraft paper is recyclable and can be naturally degraded without negative impact on the environment. If kraft paper is used for composting, it can be naturally degraded within a few weeks, and its degradation speed is as fast as the leaves falling from the tree. 2. Strength and durability High strength: Kraft paper has excellent tear strength and puncture resistance, and can withstand heavier items. White cardboard is not as stiff and compressive as kraft paper. Common box types on the market are: card boxes, corrugated boxes, and handmade boxes. Many card boxes are made of kraft paper because of its high burst resistance and strong pressure resistance. Of course, for light-weight goods, white cardboard boxes are also common. Durability: Its wear resistance and moisture resistance make it suitable for various transportation and storage conditions. 3. Versatility and adaptability Multiple thicknesses and colors: Kraft paper is available in a variety of thicknesses and colors to meet different packaging needs. Easy processing: Kraft paper is easy to print and process, and can be made into packaging boxes of various shapes and sizes to meet the packaging needs of different products. The packaging boxes made of kraft paper, after being processed by modern technology, have excellent waterproof and oil-proof properties, and can hold high-temperature and low-temperature, liquid and solid foods. At the same time, kraft paper boxes are very light and easy to carry. This makes kraft paper boxes not only suitable for the takeaway packaging industry, but also for various parties. 4. Economy Cost-effectiveness: Compared with other packaging materials, kraft paper has a lower production cost, and its durability and strength can reduce the losses caused by packaging damage. Reduce the number of packaging layers: Due to the strength of kraft paper, the use of kraft paper packaging boxes [ https://www.siumaipackaging.com/universal-kraft-paper-pillow-box-large-pillow-gift-box-brown-paper-candy-product/ ] can reduce the number of packaging layers, thereby reducing packaging costs. 5. Brand image Environmental protection image: The use of kraft paper packaging can convey the company's brand image of paying attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, and attract consumers who pay attention to environmental protection. White cardboard is the darling of the packaging market, there is no doubt about this. However, the market's acceptance of kraft paper is gradually increasing. Kraft paper packaging boxes are very personalized: the simple appearance and environmentally friendly style can easily gain market recognition in packaging. Relatively speaking, the white cardboard packaging style is easy to cause aesthetic fatigue. Due to the wide application of white cardboard, the packaging boxes made of white cardboard are exquisite but cannot escape the label of "homogenization" and cannot stand out among many packaging. The role of this packaging is limited to the surface of "packaging" and has little meaning. Natural beauty: The texture and color of kraft paper are natural and simple, which can enhance the grade and attractiveness of the product. 6. Regulations and market demand Regulatory requirements: Some regions have strict regulations on the environmental protection of packaging materials, and the use of kraft paper can meet these regulatory requirements. Market trend: As consumers' environmental awareness increases, the market demand for environmentally friendly packaging increases, and kraft paper is favored as an environmentally friendly material. Image: https://www.siumaipackaging.com/uploads/WechatIMG160.png Taking all the above factors into consideration, kraft paper as the raw material of packaging boxes not only has obvious advantages in environmental protection, performance and economy, but also can enhance brand image and meet market demand and regulatory requirements, so it is favored by many customers. Whether you want to customize a natural, environmentally friendly and attractive product packaging box, or just want to show the brand's environmental protection ecological concept through kraft paper packaging boxes, choosing kraft paper packaging boxes is a very good choice.

As TikTok bill steams forward, online influencers put on their lobbying hats to visit WashingtonGREEN BAY, Wis. -- Luke Musgrave had no idea just how serious his ankle injury was when it first happened in the Green Bay Packers ' Week 4 loss to the Minnesota Vikings . The second-year tight end finished that game and even suited up for the next one, although he did not take the field in the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams . He even practiced one day the following week before the Packers shut him down. Nearly 11 weeks after he last played in a game, Musgrave returned to practice on Wednesday and revealed that he sustained a torn ligament in his left ankle that required surgery by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, North Carolina. Editor's Picks Why Jayden Reed didn't get the ball and how Packers aim to change that Latest NFL Week 15 buzz: What we're hearing on potential coaching openings and the Falcons' QB situation NFL playoff clinching scenarios for Week 15: Which teams can secure a postseason berth this weekend? "We didn't know that it probably needed surgery until after the Rams week," Musgrave said Wednesday. Musgrave said he did only individual drills in Wednesday's practice, so it's unlikely he will be cleared to play for Sunday's game at the Seattle Seahawks ; he would need to be added to the active roster, although the Packers still have an open spot on their 53-man. But the hope is that Musgrave could return well before a possible playoff rematch against the Seahawks -- or whoever the Packers would face in a wild-card playoff game. "I think it's as soon as practical," Musgrave said when asked about a timeline to return. "I don't know if there's a timeline, but as soon as possible that they'll let me go, I'll go." Musgrave, who has only five catches for 22 yards this season, has missed 15 of a possible 30 games since he entered the league as a second-round pick in 2023. He missed six games last season because of a lacerated kidney. In the meantime, Tucker Kraft (39 catches for 521 yards and seven touchdowns) has become the Packers' go-to tight end. But the oft-anticipated, seldom-seen combination of Kraft and Musgrave might finally come to fruition as the Packers (9-4) make their playoff push. Picked one round apart -- Musgrave in the second round and Kraft in the third -- in the 2023 NFL draft, the pair of tight ends have been on the field at the same time for only 125 total snaps in their careers, according to ESPN Research. Only 54 of those have been this season. "It would be big-time," Packers quarterback Jordan Love said. "I think the last time we had it was really during training camp, having both those guys out there. And it definitely changes the plays we call and some of the formations we have and personnel groupings. "It's been tough not having Luke out there, so to get him back healthy and back out on the field would be big time." The Packers got more promising injury news on Wednesday, when cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) was a full participant in practice for the first time since his last game action on Nov. 17 against the Bears. Receiver Romeo Doubs also was a full participant for the first time since his concussion on Nov. 24, a sign that he's in the final stage of the concussion protocol. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper also practiced Wednesday for the first time since the hamstring injury that has kept him out of the past three games. However, the Packers could be without a pair of defensive backs because safety/nickelback Javon Bullard (ankle) did not practice and safety Evan Williams practiced on a limited basis but was still in the concussion protocol.

Glendale Readies for High-Security VRBO Fiesta Bowl and Innovative Fan Experience

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Greg McGarity had reason to be concerned. The Gator Bowl president kept a watchful eye on College Football Playoff scenarios all season and understood the fallout might affect his postseason matchup in Jacksonville. What if the Southeastern Conference got five teams into the expanded CFP? What if the Atlantic Coast Conference landed three spots? It was a math problem that was impossible to truly answer, even into late November. Four first-round playoff games, which will end with four good teams going home without a bowl game, had the potential to shake up the system. The good news for McGarity and other bowl organizers: Adding quality teams to power leagues — Oregon to the Big Ten, Texas to the SEC and SMU to the ACC — managed to ease much of the handwringing. McGarity and the Gator Bowl ended up with their highest-ranked team, No. 16 Ole Miss, in nearly two decades. "It really didn't lessen our pool much at all," McGarity said. "The SEC bowl pool strengthened with the addition of Texas and Oklahoma. You knew they were going to push traditional SEC teams up or down. Texas ended up pushing just about everyone down." The long waiting game was the latest twist for non-CFP bowls that have become adept at dealing with change. Efforts to match the top teams came and went in the 1990s and first decade of this century before the CFP became the first actual tournament in major college football. It was a four-team invitational — until this year, when the 12-team expanded format meant that four quality teams would not be in the mix for bowl games after they lose next week in the first round. "There's been a lot of things that we've kind of had to roll with," said Scott Ramsey, president of the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tennessee. "I don't think the extra games changed our selection model to much degree. We used to look at the New York's Six before this, and that was 12 teams out of the bowl mix. The 12-team playoff is pretty much the same." Ramsey ended up with No. 23 Missouri against Iowa in his Dec. 30 bowl. A lot of so-called lesser bowl games do have high-profile teams — the ReliaQuest Bowl has No. 11 Alabama vs. Michigan (a rematch of last year's CFP semifinal), Texas A&M and USC will play in the Las Vegas Bowl while No. 14 South Carolina and No. 15 Miami, two CFP bubble teams, ended up in separate bowls in Orlando. "The stress of it is just the fact that the CFP takes that opening weekend," Las Vegas Bowl executive director John Saccenti said. "It kind of condenses the calendar a little bit." Bowl season opens Saturday with the Cricket Celebration Bowl. The first round of the CFP runs Dec. 20-21. It remains to be seen whether non-CFP bowls will see an impact from the new dynamic. They will know more by 2026, with a planned bowl reset looming. It could include CFP expansion from 12 to 14 teams and significant tweaks to the bowl system. More on-campus matchups? More diversity among cities selected to host semifinal and championship games? And would there be a trickle-down effect for everyone else? Demand for non-playoff bowls remains high, according to ESPN, despite increased focus on the expanded CFP and more players choosing to skip season finales to either enter the NCAA transfer portal or begin preparations for the NFL draft. "There's a natural appetite around the holidays for football and bowl games," Kurt Dargis, ESPN's senior director of programming and acquisitions, said at Sports Business Journal's Intercollegiate Athletics Forum last week in Las Vegas. "People still want to watch bowl games, regardless of what's going on with the playoff. ... It's obviously an unknown now with the expanded playoff, but we really feel like it's going to continue." The current bowl format runs through 2025. What lies ahead is anyone's guess. Could sponsors start paying athletes to play in bowl games? Could schools include hefty name, image and likeness incentives for players participating in bowls? Would conferences be willing to dump bowl tie-ins to provide a wider range of potential matchups? Are bowls ready to lean into more edginess like Pop-Tarts has done with its edible mascot? The path forward will be determined primarily by revenue, title sponsors, TV demand and ticket sales. "The one thing I have learned is we're going to serve our partners," Saccenti said. "We're going to be a part of the system that's there, and we're going to try to remain flexible and make sure that we're adjusting to what's going on in the world of postseason college football."

Colman Domingo Details Why ‘The Madness’ Is a Drama for Today’s Era of Media Feeding Frenzies

Kimball Electronics Wins Highest Customer Ratings in Seven Categories of CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY’S 2024 Service Excellence AwardsCarson Beck’s season is officially over. Georgia’s starting quarterback underwent successful surgery to repair his UCL in his right elbow on Monday, the school announced. He’s expected to make a full recovery, but this means that Beck will miss the entirety of . Beck initially went down in the first half of Georgia’s win over Texas in the SEC Championship earlier this month. His arm was hit hard by a Longhorns defender as he tried to make a final throw before halftime, which knocked the ball loose and left him curled up in a lot of pain on the ground. A whole lot happened on the final play of the first half. — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) Beck missed the second half of the game, though backup quarterback Gunner Stockton took over and led the Bulldogs to the win in overtime. That secured them a spot in the College Football Playoff and an automatic bye to the Sugar Bowl. They’ll take on Notre Dame in the quarterfinals on Jan. 1. in the playoffs ever since the injury, and had considered his return “unlikely.” Beck will finish the year having thrown for 3,485 yards, 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. It’s unclear how the injury will impact him in the pre-draft process. Beck was not listed in the first round of , though there aren’t a ton of great quarterbacks in this draft class. If Beck can throw ahead of the draft in April, his stock could theoretically rise — though this injury will undoubtedly make that much more difficult. Stockton went 12-of-16 for 71 yards and threw an interception against Texas in the SEC title game. Trevor Etienne ran in a 4-yard touchdown in overtime to seal the 22-19 win, though Beck returned for that play to hand the ball off. Stockton has appeared in three games this season, and has thrown for 206 yards and completed 25 passes. The sophomore recruit and the No. 2 quarterback in his class coming out of high school. Stockton is expected to get the start against the Fighting Irish in the Sugar Bowl. Notre Dame, which rolled over Indiana 27-17 in the first round, is listed as a 1.5-point underdog against Georgia in the quarterfinals on . While the Bulldogs' chances at a third title in the last four years have undoubtedly diminished with Beck's absence, Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has had plenty of extra practice time to get Stockton ready to go. “Well, I would say just experience [helps Stockton], right?” Smart said on Monday, . “I do think knowing when you get ready for an opponent like Notre Dame, you need time. ... We prepared for some of that prior to that because we knew it would be one of two opponents. But I think the biggest thing is just competition and practice. The situations we put him in. All those things allow him to get better as a quarterback.”49ers QB Brock Purdy remains severely limited by injury to his throwing shoulder

Lampkin, Freeman power Syracuse past Bucknell, 75-63 in final nonconference tune-upCHRISTMAS is already a distant memory for our political leaders. They have gorged themselves on one too many turkey sandwiches and swigged the last of Granny’s Baileys. The rest of us will be happy if we are able to shed our excess Christmas pounds with a few extra star jumps down the gym. But for Labour , the Tories and Reform UK , the stakes are a great deal higher. As their hangovers fade, the party leaders are turning to 2025 and their New Year resolutions . So I’ve got a few suggestions of my own. Top of the list for PM Keir Starmer must be avoiding a recession . Read More on Opinion Our economy is flatlining . High Streets , once packed with bargain-hunters shopping in the sales, are eerily quiet. Pubs are shutting early. Angry farmers blockade the streets. Rachel Reeves’ decision to drop a £40billion tax bomb in her Budget is looking more nutty than Keir Starmer’s vegetarian Christmas dinner . The PM MUST get growth going. That means slashing red tape and cutting — not hiking — taxes. Most read in The Sun Next up, Sir Keir must fix the NHS . He says tax rises are worth it to cut hospital waiting lists. Well, he had better cut them then. NHS reforms are due to be unveiled next month. These must be a game-changer. We all love the NHS, but we can’t bankrupt ourselves to pay for it. So the PM needs to slash waste, not just keep throwing billion after billion of taxpayer cash at it. Third on the PM’s to-do list should be a relationship with Donald Trump’s White House . They don’t seem ideal partners for a bromance, but who knows? A full-blown free trade deal may be too much of a tall order but the PM will need to use all of Britain’s soft power to avoid trade tariffs. Expect an invite for Trump to visit Britain and King Charles . Given the President’s love for Scotland, may I suggest laying on a few Tunnock’s tea cakes and shortbread over a cuppa at the Palace? Or, better still, Balmoral? Last but not least, Sir Keir must crack down on the Channel crisis. More than 150,000 migrants have crossed since the crisis began in 2018 . Britain can have no faith in its security if it cannot control its borders. Illegal immigration must come down. Shaking up British politics As the new Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch faces a daunting challenge in 2025. The Conservatives were once the natural party of government. But they were crushed at the last election and are hated by many. This year, Kemi needs to roll up her sleeves and thrust herself into the centre of politics if she wants to grab the attention of voters. With charismatic Nigel Farage on her right and Keir Starmer wielding a huge majority on her left, there is no time for Kemi to go quiet and spend months pondering the finer points of policy. She needs to show she can bloody her opponents. If I were her, I would attack Labour relentlessly on tax. Kemi must also show she can breathe new life — and members — into her party base. Comeback kid After all, Reform say they now have more paid-up supporters than the Tories. Comeback kid Nigel Farage had a brilliant 2024. Finally elected to parliament, the Reform UK leader has five MPs, four million votes and is the insurgent shaking up British politics, perhaps for ever. But he must not let his victories go to his head like one too many glasses of cut-price prosecco. There is chatter that Elon Musk will donate £80million to Reform. But talk is cheap, and Farage needs to bank that cheque. With his pal Trump in the White House, Farage is offering to be a helpful middle man between the new President and No10. Keir should consider taking him up on this offer if it helps Britain avoid crippling US trade tariffs. The year 2025 looks set to be quite a ride for our political leaders. They should buckle up. THE Guinness shortage is real. I popped into my local on Friday night only to discover they had run out. The barmaid said they had run dry over Christmas, telling me: “There is a national shortage, you know.” A group of lads were also aghast that their favourite tipple was off. What else should they order, they wondered aloud. In the end one went for a G&T. I didn’t see that coming. DRAGON DEBORAH TO FIRE UP RACE FOR MAYOR? DRAGONS’ Den star Deborah Meaden is in the frame to be Labour’s next candidate for London Mayor. Sadiq Khan is widely expected to stand down when he finishes his current term – and the unofficial race to succeed him is already under way. Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Dr Rosena Allin-Khan have their eyes on the job – which Boris Johnson did before becoming PM. But I’m told some party insiders are keen for a big-hitter away from Westminster and want the TV Dragon as their candidate. A senior Labour Party source said: “Deborah’s name is being talked about. “She has star power and business know-how, and she is close to Rachel Reeves.” Deborah ran a multimillion-pound family holiday business before finding fame on the hit BBC TV show. She has posted several messages on Twitter/X which are supportive of Labour and the Chancellor. In one, she defended Ms Reeves over accusations the Labour politician had sexed up her CV. In another she praised Ms Reeves for “getting on with it” by appointing a commissioner to investigate Covid corruption. Labour may be pitching hard for Deborah to be their woman in City Hall. But it remains to be seen if the telly star will invest – or tell them: “I’m out”. FOOTIE A FAMILY AFFAIR I READ that Prince Louis is an Aston Villa fan like his dad, Prince William . There is nothing unusual about that – most kids “inherit” their football team from their mum or dad or siblings. But not me. We grew up in North London – bang on the border between Tottenham and Arsenal territory. Yet I wanted to copy my brother who was a Man United fan. But my brother said no. Instead he told me I could support his second-favourite team – Ipswich Town . Being the eager younger sibling, I agreed. I even got an Ipswich Town scarf for my Christmas present and named my pet goldfish (won at the local fair) John Wark, after the team’s legendary midfielder. After a couple of years I clocked that my brother actually had no interest in Ipswich Town and the whole thing had been a wind-up on me. I gave up Ipswich Town and joined most of my classmates in supporting Arsenal instead. I think I still have the scarf somewhere though . . . COMMON TRAITS . . . THE Traitors is all about deception, betrayal and backstabbing. So it should come as no surprise that a high-flying Labour Party staffer applied to go on the TV show. The party aide thought his experience in the dark arts of political spin would make him the ideal contestant. An insider said: “Politics is all about shifting alliances and being able to plunge the knife when you need to. It is the ideal training ground for The Traitors.” But it seems that the treachery and skullduggery of Westminster was too much for BBC bosses to stomach. The Labour Party aide did not get a spot on the show. Well, who would trust a politico who said they are “100 per cent faithful”? PRICE POSSE NEED LIMITS WE have all seen them in our local supermarket – aisle lurkers who wait for the shop assistant with the yellow stickers to discount the food. Before you know it, they have nabbed all the best cut-price gear. Mouth-watering steaks, lamb chops and posh bangers are scooped up in the blink of an eye and you are left with a manky old tub of coleslaw and some half-price runner beans. I fell foul of another type of aisle-lurker the other day – the half-price Itsu one. The High Street sushi chain flogs all its fresh food at half price 30 minutes before closing time. I go every Saturday night when I work late, so I can get a posh sushi meal for a fiver. Last week I arrived bang on time only to find the aisles barren. At the checkout there was a man with a massive bag of sushi swag in it. He must have picked up 20 platters of the stuff. It was enough to feed the five thousand! Turns out there is no limit to how many half-price Itsus you can buy. I left, hungry and disappointed. Now I love a bargain as much as the next girl, but should there be a limit to how many discounts an aisle-lurker can bag? NEW Year’s Eve is nearly here and that means fireworks . Cities around the world will light up with dazzling displays as people see in 2025 with a bang. But a friend of mine has had to ditch his New Year’s Eve fireworks display because a neighbour complained it scares her horses. Of course people love their pets, and some animals get spooked by loud noises. But fireworks are a great tradition and are only let off on New Year’s Eve or Bonfire night. And the occasional wedding. Live and let live. READ MORE SUN STORIES Let us firework lovers enjoy the one or two days a year we can let them off.

Findlay: SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon was a 'charlatan, not a saint' during Covid Scots Tory leader Russell Findlay said the former First Minister ‘exploited Covid to create division’ and promote independence Click here to visit the Scotland home page for the latest news and sport By TOM GORDON FOR THE SCOTTISH DAILY MAIL Published: 23:47 GMT, 9 December 2024 | Updated: 23:47 GMT, 9 December 2024 e-mail 2 View comments Nicola Sturgeon was ‘a charlatan not a saint’ during the pandemic, Russell Findlay has claimed. The Scottish Tory leader said people should remember what really happened during the global Covid crisis and not just accept the former First Minister’s account. She ‘exploited Covid to create division’ and promote independence, he said. The blistering attack followed Ms Sturgeon challenging Mr Findlay’s claim that she was ‘hostile’ towards some in the media during her regular Covid briefings. Her office insisted she always ‘displayed competence and compassion’. Mr Findlay, a crime reporter before entering Holyrood in 2021, hit back: ‘It should never be forgotten that Nicola Sturgeon was responsible for sending Covid-positive patients into care homes, leaving Scottish businesses without the help they needed, and keeping our schools closed for far too long with punitive restrictions and stupid rules, including ill-fated proposals to chop the bottom off classroom doors. ‘She was no saint, she was a charlatan who relied on political spin to hide how incompetent she really was.’ Mr Findlay criticised Mr Sturgeon and her predecessor, the late Alex Salmond , in an interview with Holyrood magazine yesterday. He said the SNP had ‘the same levels of entitlement’ as Labour before them and were ‘taking the public for granted, looking after their cronies and trying to shut down scrutiny’. The Scots Tory leader said Nicola Sturgeon was ‘hostile’ towards some in the media during the pandemic briefings Russell Findlay also accused the former First Minister of sending 'Covid-positive patients into care homes' Click here to visit the Scotland home page for the latest news and sport Advertisement The West Scotland MSP went on: ‘From Alex Salmond through to Nicola Sturgeon and continuing, there has been this fairly unpleasant hostility towards journalism and journalists. ‘I know journalism is not a popularity contest, but I know better than to complain about it. I think they were particularly hostile.’ He said some of Ms Sturgeon’s Covid briefings, which raised her profile to new levels UK-wide, were ‘little more than political grandstanding half the time’. Ms Sturgeon’s spokesman responded: ‘Throughout the pandemic Nicola displayed competence and compassion as she spoke directly to the public every day to provide important information.’ Ms Sturgeon is currently working on a memoir about her rise to power and eight years in Bute House. In January last year, Mr Findlay criticised Ms Sturgeon for failing to answer questions about transgender offenders in Scottish prisons. He raised the issue after male-born Isla Bryson was sent to Cornton Vale women’s prison near Stirling to await sentencing for the rapes of two women – carried out prior to declaring that she was transgender. Speaking at Holyrood, Mr Findlay said of the then-First Minister: ‘She presided over gender self-ID in Scotland’s prisons, she invalidated women’s concerns about single sex spaces being compromised, she created the obscene situation in which a double rapist was sent inside a women’s prison. ‘She should be here to answer questions about this mess which is entirely of her own making.’ Writing in The Mail on Sunday in November 2022, Mr Findlay wrote: ‘Nicola Sturgeon and her well-padded coterie of nationalist obsessives have devoted their lives to breaking up the UK. She presides over a vast and self-serving establishment apparatus which is best defined as smug, secretive and arrogant.’ In the article, he also described Ms Sturgeon’s appearances before the committee investigating the delayed and over-budget CalMac ferries and the one looking into the handling of complaints against Alex Salmond as ‘masterclasses in selective amnesia and sleekit evasion’. He went on: ‘Sturgeon likes to remind journalists about her supposedly high intellect with the over-arching tone being that she knows best, she is always right and the paying public really must learn their place and show their respect.’ Alex Salmond Nicola Sturgeon SNP Share or comment on this article: Findlay: SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon was a 'charlatan, not a saint' during Covid e-mail Add commentBowls miss out in 4 CFP teams in latest postseason twist
