alleged attacker, a court heard.
Rahim Mohammadi, 41, is accused of
strangling the 80-year-old widow with a

Lea had suffered fractured ribs and

It is understood Theresa May wanted
him to move across to run the Business
Department, but he refused.
In another blow to the PM’s attempt to
cling to power, Business Secretary Greg

yesterday’s Cabinet reshuffle.

ALL GOING WRONG The tweet sent from Tory Party HQ was deleted after 27 seconds

Tories are gaffe a minute

with social media blunders
THE reshuffle was thrown into chaos
almost as soon as it began, with a string of
embarrassing social media gaffes.
Among the first announcements to
emerge online was one revealing that
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling was
new Chairman of the Conservative Party.
A tweet was sent from the Tory Party’s
official account, congratulating Mr
PROMOTED Grayling. It was deleted after 27 seconds,
but many Tory MPs had already shared it.
Maria Caulfield got women’s role
New Deputy Chairman James Cleverly
later said the Conservative HQ employee
responsible for the tweet had seen an
early BBC report and got “overexcited”.
When Immigration Minister Brandon
Lewis was announced as the actual
Chairman, the tweet had a spelling error.
He was “Minister without Porfolio” in a
tweet that was deleted after 10 seconds
when someone noticed the missing “t”.
The Tory website went offline as the
reshuffle got started. An expired security
certificate meant visitors were met with a
message warning them that “attackers
could be trying to steal your information”.

embarrassment as Justine Greening
quit over a demotion from Education
to Work and Pensions Secretary.
The PM admitted she was “disap-
pointed” by the decision, while Mr
Hunt had to backtrack after “liking” a
tweet announcing her departure.
He tweeted: “Like button pressed by
accident. Justine was an excellent
minister and will be a great loss.”
Despite Mrs May’s vows to refresh
her top team, most senior ministers
kept the same jobs, including bungling
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.
Brexit Secretary David Davis, Home
Secretary Amber Rudd, Chancellor
Philip Hammond, International Trade
Secretary Liam Fox and Defence
Secretary Gavin Williamson stay put.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling,
Environment Secretary Michael Gove
and International Development Secre-
tary Penny Mordaunt also remain.
Sajid Javid has kept his job as
Communities Secretary, though in a
renamed Ministry of Housing,
Communities and Local Government.
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn called
the reshuffle a “pointless PR exercise”.
He told a Parliamentary Labour Party
meeting: “In 2018, the impact of Tory
austerity is hitting home with the
public, most tragically with the most
serious NHS winter crisis yet.
“And yet the Government’s big plan
for the New Year is to dodge the real
issues and reshuffle the pack in a
pointless and lacklustre PR exercise.”
Lib Dem Mr Carmichael said: “This
reshuffle can be summed up with the
phrase ‘nothing has changed’.

VOICE OF THE
Shuffle off
now, PM
PRIME Minister Theresa May showed how
weak her hand is as she was unable to
deal herself a new Cabinet in her reshuffle.
Ministers refusing to budge and an appoint-
ment posted and taken down after 27 seconds
was farcical even by her own absurd standards.
The shake-up that was intended to bolster
her position instead stressed how wobbly it
remains, as she was forced to leave the big
posts untouched and then back down on other
changes – with the likes of Jeremy Hunt still
squatting in Whitehall departments.
What does the Health Secretary need to do
to be moved, when thousands are stuck in
ambulances and told ops are cancelled?
By prioritising changes to the Tory machine
she’s putting party before country and the public
is a distant second behind her desperate bid to
cling to high office, if not power, at any cost.

‘strange, extravagant’ sex

A FORMER British soldier has
been arrested after a prostitute
plunged to her death as they
romped on a balcony in Thailand.
Reece Vella, a convicted rapist who
is being hunted by UK police, paid
Wannipa Janhuathon £35 for sex at his
fifth-floor Pattaya apartment before
she died on Saturday. It is also claimed
he had overstayed his tourist visa by
more than two months.
Police chief Narong Chantra said:
“They were having very strange,

she fell down below and died.
“Mr Vella was in shock and knowing
he had overstayed his visa ran away.”

The UK, which allows

the legal trade in carved

‘Killer kept teen’s body
wrapped in clingfilm’
BY MARTIN FRICKER
A MAN murdered a teenager three Aylett said hostel staff in Brierley Hill,
days after being released from jail West Mids, noticed a smell in his room
then hid her body in a clingfilm- 17 days later, which was blamed on
wrapped wardrobe, a court heard.
Ashley Foster, 24, allegedly killed
Megan Bills, 17, and then searched
online for “snuff ” films while her
body decomposed for almost
three weeks.
He told police she
passed out after asking
to be throttled during
sex at his hostel on
Easter Sunday last year.
But prosecutors said
his claim was “nonsense”
and he had killed Megan,
of Stourbridge, West Mids,
deliberately.
Foster, of no fixed GRIM Hostel in Brierley Hill

preventing the decent and lawful burial
of the teenager but he denies murdering
her. Crispin Aylett QC, prosecuting, said
Megan was seen on CCTV entering his
room but was not filmed leaving.
He told jurors: “There is no other
reliable evidence of her ever being seen
alive again.” Foster spent the night after

Mr Aylett said it was

Foster had wrapped the
wardrobe because his
fingerprints were on the

He added: “If his
purpose in allowing the
body to decompose was to make it as
difficult as possible to determine how
she died, he achieved his end.”
He said the defendant had used a shirt

The Sun is close to both
Venus and Pluto in
Capricorn. This is one of those
days when privately you could
explode. It’s no exaggeration. The
motivating force is usually guilt. It
would have been lot easier going

For career or private
reasons, you should be
super-excited today. But can you
keep a secret? You don’t want to
make a mistake or suffer the same
fate as others by panicking. This is
an important day with a lot at
stake. Besides, some kind of
breakthrough is indicated.

With the Sun aligned with
Venus and Pluto, Jupiter
and Mars, this should be an insane
time. It could be one function or

The Sun, Venus and Pluto
in Capricorn shine on all
your endeavours. Seldom have you
been so favoured, even though
people at the bottom of the ladder

Banish
the
fear
factor
BY MATTHEW BARBOUR
A shockingly high one in 20 of
us have a phobia. But whether
it’s the common fear of spiders
or the rather more unusual
terror of knees, here’s how to
spot if you have one and what
you can do about it.
Lots of the I’m A Celebrity
campmates had to face their fears last
month, but you don’t need to be in
the jungle to come across your own
personal nightmare, one that can
disrupt your life and seriously affect
friendships, work prospects and
holiday choices. And phobias can
strike anyone, regardless of age or sex.
“One misconception is
that women suffer more
than men, but it’s not true,
except for agoraphobia,
which is relatively rare in
males,” says chartered
psychologist Professor
Alexander Gardner.
There is some evidence,
however, that phobias are
more likely to develop in people who
are intelligent and highly educated.
Also, 20 years ago most people who
approached Anxiety UK were in
their forties or older, but now they
are more likely to be younger.
But the good news is that there’s
help out there...
How it starts
Often there’s no obvious explanation
for a phobia but most are seen to
have their roots in early childhood,
Prof Gardner says.
“It could be triggered by a one-off
experience – for instance, being

NOTES
If you stop worrying about not
getting enough exercise and
being stressed, you may live
longer.
That’s the advice from an
expert in psychological
therapies, who insists that
believing you are getting
enough exercise can lead to
better health.
Robin Bailey, senior lecturer
at the University of Central
Lancashire, has published the
advice which would seem to be
encouraging the kind of
complacency that is feeding
Britain’s obesity epidemic.
But he insists it is based on
sound scientific evidence.
A recent study of more than
60,000 US adults examined
the link between perceptions
of exercise and mortality.
The researchers found
something curious – people
who worried about being less
active than others were up to
71% more likely to die in a
follow-up period 21 years later,
regardless of their actual
levels of physical activity or
overall health.
A study conducted by
Harvard University saw a
group of hotel workers told
that their daily work fulfilled
recommended
exercise
guidelines.
A second
group was not
given this
information.
After just one
month, people
in the informed
group
experienced a 10-point drop in
blood pressure, two-pound
weight loss (0.9kg) and
improved body mass index.
Mr Bailey said: “Remember
to praise yourself for the
exercise and activity you do
do. Don’t punish yourself for
the exercise you don’t do. This
may increase your motivation
and provide a range of physical
health benefits.
“Second, accept stress as a
normal part of life and a
natural survival mechanism
for dealing with threats.
“It has been shown that
when people shift to seeing
stress as enhancing rather
than debilitating, it can result
in more positive outcomes.”

state of the NHS doesn’t bode
well for the future care of our
ageing population. So it is
fortunate that research says the need
for more social care isn’t inevitable.
NICE stated in 2015 that “disability,
dementia and frailty can be prevented
or delayed”.
This remarkable statement wasn’t
noticed at the time. It hinges on
keeping people able to manage their
daily living by washing, dressing,
feeding themselves and shopping.
How could we achieve this elusive
aim? Simple. By keeping people fit as
they get older. Just because you get old
needn’t mean you lose fitness.
The problem is that people with
long-term medical conditions often
mistakenly believe that exercise will
make things worse. This is not true,
and they need to improve the four
aspects of fitness: strength, stamina,
suppleness and skill.
Ev idence i s grow ing that

fitness improves cognitive ability and
reduces the risk of dementia, not only
in midlife but also in the 70s and 80s.
The physical, mental, and social
benefits of exercise can help enable
people to live more independently and
more autonomously. And strength and
balance training cuts the risk of falls.
The good news is that at any age
and with any combination of health
problems, exercise provides, in the
words of an important report from the
Academy of Medical Royal Colleges,
“the miracle cure.”
Exercise may reverse the decline
and keep a person above the threshold
for needing social care.
People in their 70s with below
average ability (measured as “chair
rise” time) who improve this by 25% to
the average speed of people in their
60s, reverse a decade of decline. Ten
years! There are real improvements in
older people’s “up and go” times when
exercise ranging from walking to high
intensity is started as an intervention.
Best of all, those who are the most frail
benefit the most.
We tend to think exercise is for the
young while older people should sit
back and relax. But we all need
physical activity, defined as movement
using our muscles that burns calories,
including gardening and walking.
Exercise is just planned, structured,
and repetitive physical activity.
The UK chief medical officer
recommends 150 minutes a week of
moderate physical activity plus twice
weekly strength and balance exercise
for adults of all ages.
Any physical activity for at least 10
minutes that gets someone slightly out
of breath contributes to the 150
minutes and could make you as fit as
someone 18 years younger.
That’s an offer you can’t refuse.

DEAR COLEEN Britain’s most straight-talking problem page

HOW CAN I
TALK TO MUM
ABOUT SEX?
Dear Coleen
I’m a 16-year-old girl and I attend a
sixth-form college. I had to take the
morning after pill recently and I feel
bad that I kept it from my mum.
It’s not so much telling her about
the medication, but I’ve never
actually talked to her about having
sex. I feel I want to confide in her.
How can I approach it – and will
she be angry with me?
I cancelled Christmas
after row with daughter
Dear Coleen
My daughter has been married for 16
years and, for most of that time, my
husband and I have helped her out
financially.
She has four sons with her husband
and over the past four years he has
quit numerous jobs. When this
happens, we are expected to cover the
cost of providing clothes, shoes, winter
coats, school supplies and all expenses
for Christmas, including gifts.
Before Xmas, I showed up at their
home with plastic storage containers
to repack his “collections”, which I’ve
done twice in the past. This time, I
needed to repack his stuff to create
space for the new bikes for his sons.
My daughter was talking to her
husband on the phone at the time (he
was at work), and when he found out
I was there to pack his stuff, I could
hear him screaming non-stop for the
next five minutes about people going
through his stuff.
I left, but before I drove away, I
cancelled Christmas as I won’t be
disrespected by a son-in-law. My
daughter texted me to say my visit
was unannounced and unexpected,
even though I’d told her several times
that we needed to make space for
the bikes.
She said these expensive bikes could
be left outside or stored inside their
already too small home, so I said I
couldn’t agree to that and cancelled
I’m going
to return
the gifts
and will
save the
money
Christmas. In the past, I have taken
verbal abuse from this daughter, but
I’m returning the gifts and placing the
money in my savings account.
If I choose, I can send my grandsons
some gift certificates.
Does this make me a bad person?
The whole situation has made me ill.
Did I do the right thing?
Coleen says
I don’t think you’re a bad person – it
sounds like you’ve been pushed to the
edge and everyone has a breaking
point. I think this was yours. You’ve
done a lot for both of them over the
years and they’ve kind of taken it for
granted, so you don’t feel appreciated.
On the other hand, if you decide to
do things for people and be generous
with your time and money, I think you
have to do it without any expectations.
I think you also need to be honest
with yourself about whether going
round and packing his stuff might be
overstepping the mark and considered
interfering and even confrontational.
Maybe you were doing it out of the
kindness of your heart and trying to be
helpful, but try to see it from their
point of view and think about how
you’d feel in their situation.
Why not step back a bit? Be a loving
grandmother but try not to interfere
in their lives. They can’t rely on the
bank of mum and dad forever and,
perhaps when they realise that, they’ll
start taking more responsibility.

Coleen says

I don’t think you need to make a

just bring it up.
You don’t have to start by saying
you’ve taken the morning after pill,
but you can say something like,
“Mum, do you think I need to start
thinking about contraception?” It’s
a way to open the conversation.
Yes, it might be a little
embarrassing at first, but that
won’t last. Once you’re over the
initial awkwardness, it’ll be fine.
What’s nice is that you’ve got to a
point in your life where you want
your mum’s advice.
And maybe she wants to discuss
these things with you, too, but isn’t
sure how to do so and is mindful of
embarrassing you.

Jose’s feud

WHEN things get really personal
What if the ref moaned
that a player cheated?
between two managers it starts to
bring both of their clubs into
disrepute.
Which is why the League
Managers Association have to get
involved in the growing spat between

Bosses would go crazy!

Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
The LMA need to pull them aside
and say, ‘Look, we’ve no problem
with a bit of sledging but it’s getting
a bit unsavoury and below the belt –
and it shows all bosses in a bad light’.
Manchester United and Chelsea
are two of our biggest clubs and their
managers need to
remember that.
I like Mourinho. It
took me a bit of
time to get used to
his ways but after
spending a bit of
time with him around d managers who haven’t been
the #GameForGrenfell, I realised that
he is more than happy to play the
pantomime villain if it deflects from
performances.
But Mourinho (above) and Conte
have already gone beyond the
Arsene Wenger v Sir Alex Ferguson
stuff that was the benchmark of
what should and shouldn’t be
deemed acceptable.
And if they go any further they
need to be seriously punished
because other managers will start to
think this is the norm.
Then things will really get chaotic.
I SPENT Sunday evening
wondering why
Nottingham Forest’s FA
Cup triumph over Arsenal
had so made my weekend.
And in the end I decided it
was because the performance at
the City Ground (above)
reminded me of what the Forest
EVERY manager who
slags off a referee is an
absolute disgrace.
Blaming the officials is
never anything more than
excuse-making of the highest
order and there aren’t many
guilty of it at some point or
other.
Arsene Wenger is the latest
to have had a pop, firstly at
Mike Dean and then at
Anthony Taylor, after the pair
awarded penalties against his
team in the fixtures with West
Brom and Chelsea.
Whether those decisions
were right or wrong, Arsenal
still had enough chances to
win both games so blame
your players, not the official.
We are in a situation now
where the amount of eyeballs
and hype on the Premier
League makes refereeing
virtually impossible.
Everybody is the ref these
days with their huge
televisions, their camera
angles, their pause and
rewind buttons.
The only people without
access to that equipment,
until VAR becomes standard,
are the officials themselves.
The manager who really got
it with officials was Brian
Clough, and while I didn’t play
for him I really wish I had
because that was one of the
strands to his genius. The first
was the way he got his teams
to play, the second was the
way he would keep his players
on edge wondering if they
were going to get a rollocking
or a cuddle, which was
brilliant.
And the third was how his
players were told to view and
treat officials – with nothing
but respect.
Sadly, few managers now
share that last value.
The fact referees are mute
doesn’t help and I would love
it if one of them was miked up
again, as David Elleray was all
HANDS OFF
THE OFFICIALS
Arsenal’s Calum
Chambers argues
with ref Mike Dean
after his handball at
West Brom
those years ago. Better still, I’d
like for one to be able to come
out after a game and say, ‘This
is why I made the penalty
decision but I’ve been back
into the referee’s room and
looked at a replay and so-and-
so has dived, he has cheated
and he is an absolute
disgrace’. Imagine a manager’s
reaction to that – he would go
absolutely barmy.
What we need now is for
managers to be punished and
fined whenever they so much
as mention the referee.
If they have a complaint
they should go to the head of
the referees’ association, have
a coffee, listen to why a
decision was made, put their
own point across instead of
adding to this erosion of
refereeing, of standards and
principles, year in, year out.
It’s making a very difficult
job virtually impossible.
And managers now who are
earning £8million, £10m,
£12m, even £15m per year in
some cases, are making
scapegoats of people who are
easy targets because they
have no right to reply.
When you have finished
reading this I would ask you
to have a little think how you’d
feel if you were slagged off and
slaughtered, week after week,
in public for something you
have done in your job without
having any right to reply.
Would you still want to go
back for more as referees do?
I take my hat off to them, I
really do.

BIG HIT Kane continues to
deliver the goods at Spurs
Harry: I’ll
stay if we
land a pot
BY NEIL McLEMAN
ENGLAND striker Harry
Kane has told Tottenham
they need to win trophies
to keep him happy as he
revealed talks over a new
deal have yet to start.
The Spurs skipper is
under contract until 2022,
just like Philippe Coutinho
before he forced his way
out of Liverpool.
Kane signed a £100,000-
a-week deal in December
2016 but has since blasted
56 goals in 2017 to become
Europe’s top scorer.
Boss Mauricio Pochettino
warned that Coutinho’s
move to Barcelona proved
clubs are powerless to stop
top players leaving if they
want to go.
Kane said: “I think if a
player wants to go then
why would you stop him?
“With Coutinho,
Liverpool have got a good
offer from Barca and
accepted it, so I wouldn’t
say they’re powerless.
“I can see why if a player
wants to go you would let
him go.”
Asked what Spurs must
do for him to be content,
Kane replied: “Progress,
keep getting better, start
winning trophies – that’s
the aim. As long as the club
keep doing that then, yeah,
I’m happy here. This season
the FA Cup is the one we
have a good chance in.”
Saiz sorry
for spitting
SAMUEL SAIZ has
apologised for his spitting
shame and described his
actions as “inexcusable”.
The FA banned the Leeds
hot-head for six games and
he faces a club fine of two
weeks wages for gobbing at
Newport’s Robbie Willmott
in Sunday’s FA Cup defeat.
The Spanish No.10 was
shown a straight red card
by referee Mike Dean and
his suspension will damage
Leeds’ play-off hopes.
He said: ”I would like to
sincerely apologise to the
players, staff and
supporters of Leeds United
for my behaviour at
Newport. I would also like
to apologise to Newport
and Robbie Willmott.”

VAR GETS OFF TO A QUIET DEBUT

BY ADRIAN KAJUMBA
IT dominated the build-up and
commentary.
For all the fanfare and fears,
though, ultimately there was
not too much to see here on
VARs historic debut in a
competitive match in English
football.
Aside from routine checks
for the three goals there was
OPENING GULL Skipper Dale Stephens puts Brighton ahead
nothing major to trouble Neil
Swarbrick, 70 miles away in the
Premier League’s match centre
near Heathrow.
Clarification the three strikes
were good took less than a
minute while they were being
celebrated in stadium and
replayed on TVs.
Even Glenn Murray’s late
winner, which to certain viewers
might have looked offside or
handball, was okayed swiftly.
Without the obvious fuss you
wouldn’t have even known they
were being reviewed.
No clear and obvious errors,
teething problems or length
delays but a valuable chance to
give their new safety net for
officials a test run. It won’t
always be like this. Arsenal’s
eventful defeat at Nottingham
Forest 24 hours earlier, when a
VAR would have been useful,
was proof of that.
With penalties, red cards and
mistaken identity also incidents
for VARs to consider it won’t be
long before Swarbrick is much
busier. Perhaps as soon as
tomorrow when Chelsea host
Arsenal in the EFL Cup.

Carabao Cup because Arsene Wenger sees it as IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS
their best chance of silverware.
The two-legged semi-final will become a
slugfest, with Chelsea are also set to field a first
choice line-up.
But the tie has become even more important
to the Gunners following their FA Cup
humiliation by Nottingham Forest.
Wenger rested Mesut Ozil, Alexandre
Lacazette and Jack Wilshere for the trip to the
City Ground, which ended in a 4-2 win for the
Championship club, but they are expected to be
involved against Chelsea tomorrow.
Arsenal will have David Ospina in goal but
otherwise it will be a first choice XI.
Wenger has enjoyed great success in the FA
Cup, winning it three times in the last four
years. The Forest debacle was the first third-
round exit in Wenger’s 21 years in
charge.
But Mirror Sport
understands nothing has
changed regarding the
manager’s future.
The Frenchman, 68,
signed a two-year deal
in the summer and,
even though the
backroom set-up is
changing, Wenger has no
intention of leaving early.
Arsenal made it clear there was no break
clause in his contract to stop the debate over
his future which blighted last season.
The Gunners want a senior centre-half in this
transfer window and may need another at the
end of the campaign when Per Mertesacker
retires.
Mertesacker (above) was brutally honest
about the performance at Forest and
admitted no fringe player seized their chance
to impress.
He said: “The players who didn’t play a lot
recently, no one justified their selection. That
sums it up.
“It was difficult. In the first half, we played
‘in the park’ a little bit – we weren’t precise,
especially in the final third. We couldn’t get a
lot of chances. Second half, there was a little
bit more spirit but they outbattled us.
“The momentum never really changed apart
from when we scored for 3-2.
“It’s difficult to take because for those
players who played it was probably their last
chance to show up and show the manager they
are ready to play more games.
“It’s not the case any more.”
