VOTE CONSERVATIVE TODAY

BRE IT AND
BRITAIN IN
YOUR HANDS
TODAY the country has the
opportunity to give a great Prime
Minister the power he needs to
deliver Brexit and unlock an
exciting future for your family
and coming generations.
This is a truly pivotal elec-
tion. Britain has the chance to
escape the chaos and the coward-
ice that has gripped Westminster,
and reject the pessimism, bitter-
ness and fanaticism which has
infected Labour and the Liberal
Democrats. The 2016 Referendum
COMMENT
demonstrated that the people of
the United Kingdom have greater
faith and confidence in this
nation’s potential than our
political class. Too many MPs were
frightened of a future outside the
European Union and connived to
thwart Brexit.
You are right to feel Boris
Johnson’s frustration and exas-
peration at the destructive antics
of intransigent Remainers. Today
you can ensure that a majority of
the men and women we send to
Parliament are people who love

THE BATTLE FOR

Boris: It’s on a knife edge, don’t

Political Editor

BORIS Johnson has issued a plea

for the country’s backing to finish
Brexit and build a “great future”
for Britain.
Ahead of today’s election, the
Prime Minister urged voters to give
him the Commons majority needed
to smash the “gridlock” at
Westminster so the verdict of the
2016 EU Referendum can be
honoured at last.
The Prime Minister said:
“Enough is enough.”
And appealing to traditional
Labour voters to back the Tories for
the first time, he said: “Even if you

He vowed to again defy the
“doomsters and gloom-mongers”
by passing his EU Withdrawal
Agreement and securing a trade
deal with Brussels to give the UK a
prosperous future.
Last night the opinion polls were
still showing the threat of another
hung parliament.
Mr Johnson warned of a night-

He said: “Give me a majority and

Jeremy Corbyn wants to raise taxes

the most.”
The Labour Land Campaign, a
party pressure group backed by
Mr Corbyn, has called for a land
value tax set at three per cent,
with land value assumed to be 55
per cent of a home’s capital value.

MORE than 100 victims of IRA terrorism
wrote to Jeremy Corbyn last night to
demand a meeting about his refusal to
“unequivocally condemn” Irish
Republican violence.
They urged the Labour leader and his
shadow chancellor John McDonnell “to
hear first hand about the lasting impact
of terrorism on innocent families”.
The letter also hit out at Mr Corbyn for
refusing to reply to an earlier request for
him to apologise for his past remarks
about the Irish Republican movement.
Mainstream, a pressure group opposed
to extremist politics which is chaired by
former Labour MP Ian Austin, organised
the letter.
Among the signatories were victims of
the Enniskillen and Hyde Park atrocities.
The letter said: “On October 13
we wrote to you asking for you to
unequivocally condemn IRA terrorists
and to apologise for your support for
violent republicanism.
“The letter was signed by nearly
40 victims of IRA terror attacks but we
have received
no reply.
“We are
writing again
to seek a
meeting with
you which
would give you
and John
McDonnell, the
opportunity to
meet victims of
IRA atrocities
and to hear
first hand
about the
lasting impact
of terrorism on
innocent
families.”
It was Ian Austin led campaign
signed: “Yours
sincerely, 102 victims of IRA terror
attacks.” Mark Tipper, whose brother
Simon was one of four soldiers killed in
the Hyde Park attack in 1982, said: “We
want a meeting to tell him how we feel.
We could wake up on Friday morning and
Corbyn could be prime minister.
“But to people like me, and to other
victims, it feels like he supports
terrorists more than the victims and more
than the ordinary people of this country.”
Mr Corbyn has supported the Irish
Republican cause throughout his career.
He has been criticised for refusing to
specifically condemn IRA atrocities,
instead insisting he rejects violence “on
all sides”. A dossier previously published
by Mainstream also detailed how John
McDonnell signed off a grant of £53,000
to the Troops Out Movement, which had
close links to Sinn Fein, while at the
Greater London Council.
A Labour Party spokesman said:
“Jeremy was never a supporter of the
IRA and has always worked for peace
and respect for human rights.
“He has also spoken about how the
peace process in Northern Ireland has
been a model for other countries trying
to bring divided communities together
on the basis of recognising different
traditions.”

YOUR GUIDE TO ELECTION NIGHT WHO TO

NH\VHDWVWKDW
By Giles Sheldrick
Chief Reporter

THE destiny of Brexit and

Britain is in the hands of just
a few thousand voters in 26
key battleground seats.
Swing voters in knife-edge
constituencies will be crucial
in deciding if Boris Johnson
gains a winning majority.
And also in their hands is
the fate of some of the big
beasts of British politics.
At risk on the Tory side are
Dominic Raab, the current
Foreign Secretary, Sir John
Redwood, a leading Brexiteer
who served in John Major’s
Cabinet and Theresa Villiers,
the Environment Secretary.
At risk on the Labour side
is Dennis Skinner, who at 87,
is the oldest MP in the last
Commons. Also in peril are
Helen Goodman, former
minister Caroline Flint and
Laura Smith.
And waiting anxiously will
be Lib Dem Stephen Lloyd in
Eastbourne.
Here, we assess who will
have a very nervous wait for
their result...

THE crunch seats will be Labour

marginals where people voted
Leave, including Crewe and
Nantwich – Jeremy Corbyn’s party
hold a wafer-thin 48-vote majority.
A battle for last-minute votes
will also be waged in Ashfield in
Nottinghamshire, where Labour
defends a slim 441 majority.
Bishop Auckland’s constituents
overwhelmingly voted to leave
the European Union in 2016
though its MP since 2005, Helen
Goodman, supported Remain.
She has a majority of just 500
and if the Tories take this seat it
would be seen as a signal that
the “red wall” of traditional
Labour-held constituencies is beg-
inning to crumble.
Stoke-on-Trent Central, Labour
since 1950, has become a hotly
contested marginal. A Tory gain
here would be a jewel in
the crown for
Boris Johnson.
The Tories could
SIR JOHN REDWOOD
Wokingham
also seize Dennis Skinner’s
Bolsover, which he has held since
1970. Labour’s Caroline Flint could
fall in Don Valley and Mary Creagh
may lose in Wakefield, both Leave
supporting seats.
Other Labour figures at risk
include shadow minister Laura
Pidcock in North West Durham.
For the Tories, Dominic Raab has
a 23,000 majority but the Brexiteer
is being targeted by the Remainer
Lib Dems in Esher and Walton.
And former Conservative leader
Iain Duncan Smith has just a three-
point lead over his Labour rival
in Chingford. Theresa Villiers is in
danger from Labour in her
DENNIS SKINNER
Bolsover
Chipping Barnet constituency
while Leading Eurosceptic Sir John
Redwood could lose his Remain-
voting seat of Wokingham.
A bellwether one to watch out
for is Dartford in Kent. Since 1964,
whichever party has won it has
formed the Government.
The Tories have a healthy majority
of 13,000.
The drama begins with a snap
exit poll verdict just after the polls
close at 10pm but the result may
still be in the balance at that time.
Here are the seats the Tories need
to win from Labour and the Lib
Dems – and key ones they need to
hold.

A vote for Boris is

a vote for faith,
hope and prosperity
FROM PAGE ONE
this nation as deeply as you do and will
work night and day to ensure the promise
of Brexit becomes a reality. The only way to
do this is to vote Conservative and give Mr
Johnson the majority he needs to lift the
country out of its present quagmire.
We face a choice with global
consequences: do you believe Britain’s
finest days are in the past and the best we
can do is manage decline? Or – as we have
done so many times in our proud history –
is this the moment for national renewal in
which we revive every region by forging
friendships and trading partnerships
throughout a world rich in opportunity?
For too long Britain’s so-called
elite has suffered from a deficit of
ambition. They have been content to
preside over stagnation.
The consequences have been terrible.
Families in once-mighty industrial
heartlands have watched prosperity
evaporate. All that Labour offers is the
putrid politics of envy and victimhood and
an economic blueprint for bankruptcy.
Jeremy Corbyn’s scandalous failure to
tackle anti-Semitism and misogyny in
Labour ranks, and his appalling fraternising
with apologists for murder, should
disqualify him from public office.
Renaissance
Millions of people will today abandon
Labour because the party no longer
represents the values of its past leaders.
But a vote for Mr Johnson’s Con-
T
HE moment of destiny has arrived.
Not since the end of the Second
World War has there been a more
important General Election than
this one. At stake is the soul of
our nation. The very future of our
identity, democracy, economy and security
will be decided by voters today.
Realistically there are only two possible
outcomes: either a Tory majority, or a hung
Parliament that would in practice send
Jeremy Corbyn and his Marxist cabal into
Downing Street. The former result would
SOUL OF
be a relief, the latter a calamity.
If Boris Johnson’s Conservatives win,
then freedom and prosperity beckon, accel-
erated by the end of the Brexit stalemate
that has paralysed our political system for
too long. But if Corbyn emerges as Prime
Minister tomorrow, then Britain will be
dragged into a new Dark Age of chaos and
decline, fuelled by extremist dogma.
The return of a Tory Government would
mean that the country can once more come
together, with our withdrawal from Europe
finally settled. But the advent of a far-Left
Labour Government, built on class war and
the politics of envy, will drastically widen
divisions in our society.
If Johnson stays in office, then Britain will
remain an advanced, Western market-led
democracy, where taxes are kept down,
enterprise is encouraged, sovereignty is
restored, British values are cherished and
the United Kingdom maintained.
But a Corbyn premiership, driven by
the alien creed of radical socialism, will
herald the mass confiscation of wealth,
the break-up of the union, the relentless
expansion of state control and the ruination
of our public finances.
Tragically, this nightmare on Downing
Street is a real possibility. In recent weeks,
the opinion polls have shifted significantly
in Labour’s favour. Although the Tories
have maintained a healthy lead of about
10 per cent, that gap could be rendered
meaningless today by anti-Conservative
tactical voting in scores of marginal
constituencies.
Indeed, the massive survey published
this week by You Gov – the pollster that
predicted the result of the 2017 general
election – suggested a Tory majority of
just 28, whereas only a fortnight ago the
same study had indicated a Conservative
majority of 68.
Even more disturbingly, You Gov made
clear that it “could not rule out a hung
Parliament”.

servatives is more than a vote to deny Mr
Corbyn and his equally dangerous sidekick
John McDonnell control of Whitehall.
It is a vote for a Tory leader who is ablaze
with love for this country, faith in its people
and hope for our future. He is a leader of
great eloquence, proven ability and true
compassion who will strive to unleash
nothing less than a renaissance.
He knows that too many communities
suffer dire transport links; he understands
why all children need a world-class
education to thrive. He needs no lectures
about the crucial role of the NHS; and he is
determined to bring terrorists and criminals
alike to justice.
With similar confidence and optimism we
should give him the mandate and the
majority he needs to rescue this country

then, as epitomised by Clement Attlee’s

further 50 million GP appointments, more
money for schools and improvements to the
transport infrastructure.
The Tory pledges are credible because the
party has given a strong economic perfor-
mance over the past nine years. Contrary to
all the miserable Labour propaganda about
widespread destitution and “food bank”
Britain, the Conservatives have delivered
record levels of employment and job
creation, as well as cuts to the deficit, low
interest rates, reduction in tax for the low-
paid, welfare reform and, now, rising wages.
The contrast with Labour could not be
greater. With its spectacular profligacy and
neurosis about state domination, Corbyn’s
party would quickly wreck the economy,
prompting the collapse of sterling as debts
spiral out of control.
Labour’s manifesto in 1983 was nick-
named “the longest suicide note in history”
because of its unpopularity. Labour’s 2019
manifesto could be described as “the longest
bankruptcy notice in history”. For every
£1 of expenditure proposed by the Tories,
Labour is proposing to spend £28, a hope-
lessly unaffordable programme.
Full of reckless pledges, Corbyn’s party
offers a litany of free services, from broad-
band to tuition fees, alongside threats of
DX1ST
nationalisation, the return of trade union
powers, the seizure of company share-
holdings and massive hikes in taxes for the
affluent and corporations. Shadow chancel-
lor John McDonnell lists “fermenting [sic]
the overthrow of capitalism” as one of his
pastimes. His elevation to the Treasury would
give him the terrifying chance to show that
those words are not meant in jest.
Our security will not be safe with Corbyn,
a notorious sympathiser with terror move-
ments and enemies of the West. Even his
own shadow health secretary Jonathan
Ashworth was caught this week labelling
him a security risk. Nor is Corbyn able to
offer the electorate anything coherent on
Brexit. Where Johnson has a credible plan to
honour the referendum result, based on the
withdrawal deal he brilliantly negotiated
with the EU, a Corbyn government would
mean more dither and delay, made all the
worse by the pledge to hold another vote.
Perhaps the most frightening characteris-
tic of a Corbyn regime would be its
vicious authoritarianism, one of the prime
‘A vote for Liberal Democrats or Brexit Party is
not a wasted vote but something far worse’
characteristics of all radical socialist regimes
throughout history. During the four years of
his leadership, Corbyn has turned his
party into a toxic swamp of abuse, bullying,
misogyny, intolerance and racism.
Labour was founded to promote equality.
Now, thanks to Corbyn and his gang, it finds
itself under investigation by the Equalities
and Human Rights Commission for its
virulent anti-Semitism.
I
N a savage indictment, the Chief Rabbi
Ephraim Mirvis warned recently that
“the poison is sanctioned from the
top”, while the renowned human rights
organisation, the Simon Wiesenthal Centre,
last week named Corbyn’s party as the
number one anti-Semitic threat worldwide.
That verdict shows how low Labour has
sunk. It does not, in its present form, deserve
to run our country. Britain is a land of peace
and tolerance, a prime reason why we have

successfully absorbed waves of immigration.
Corbynism is a severe menace to that har-
mony, just as his worship of state power is a
threat to our political liberties. “Change is
coming,” he says with a zealous glint in his
eye. The great British virtue of moderation
means nothing to this tinpot revolutionary.
That is why he must be stopped, and the
only way to do that is by voting Conservative.
A majority Johnson government is the sole
guarantee of keeping Corbyn out of power.
Voters are deluding themselves if they
think they can back other opposition parties
– like the Liberal Democrats, Greens or
Brexit Party – without helping to hasten the
Corbyn revolution. A vote for the Liberal
Democrats or Brexit is not a wasted vote but
something far worse. It is an irresponsible
act that could bring about Britain’s most
malignant premiership, one that will rapidly
destroy liberalism and any chance of Brexit.
Remainers talk eagerly of tactical voting to
keep Britain in Europe. But the tactical vot-
ing we really need today is a united push
behind Johnson to keep out Corbyn. Britain
is a still great country and will be greater
still if we achieve independence. But Corbyn
could swiftly turn our nation into a basket
case. To prevent that grim eventuality, voters
must recognise their civic duty.

But the Durham University botany
lecturer fell foul of the green move-

brand him a “climate denier”.
The London-born presenter later
claimed that his questioning approach
to climate issues damaged his broad-

He broke on to TV by commenting
on the 1967 Torrey Canyon oil tanker

“The Conservation Foundation was

YOUR

CONSUMER
CHAMPION

B
ELIEVE it or not, readers have been sharing their stories of grumpy
neighbours complaining about outdoor Christmas lights and displays.
It’s only once a year that we deck our homes and gardens with festive
displays, but some people seem to have the hump. Whatever the
legalities, taking a moment to think about how your decorations might
impact your neighbours never hurts. Especially at this time of year.
However, here’s everything you need to know:

Do I need planning permission for my stable scene?

Lee, from Yorkshire, has built a large nativity scene in his front garden,
which includes a small building, ornaments and lighting. His neighbour has

NO ARM IN ASKING FOR A SOFA REFUND

A It sounds like the repair has not

resolved the issue. In these
circumstances, the Consumer Rights
Act says you can now demand a
refund. However, the retailer can
make a deduction from the refund
– in this case for the use you’ve had
of the sofa since the purchase.
A In these circumstances, the
Consumer Rights Act 2015
provides that you can go to another
builder to finish the works and
either send the original builder the
bill or, as in your case, refuse to pay
him the remainder of his money.

SCAM OF THE WEEK

FRAUDSTERS have been using the demise of several payday
lenders, including PiggyBank this week, as a front for their latest
scams. Watch out for calls and emails claiming to be from a new
payday lender offering attractive deals. Victims are being asked to
confirm lots of personal details as part of an application that is
ultimately rejected. The fraudster, however, is left with enough
information to clone your identity. Beware.

Samantha Wood, 27, met Melissa
Collier at school when she was 13 –
and the pair became inseparable.
But money started going missing
from her savings jar and her nine-
year-old son’s piggy bank.
Days later, with a camera hidden
behind the toaster, Samantha
caught Collier red-handed.
She told her friend she was going
to her bedroom to dry her hair. But
once there she watched live footage
of Collier rifling her purse.
She took money and stuffed it
inside her bra before shouting up to
Samantha to tell her she had made
her a cup of tea.
Cried
Collier admitted one count of
theft at Hull magistrates’ court last
month and on Tuesday her case
was sent to the Crown Court for
sentencing.
Samantha, of Hedon, Hull, said:
“I loved her like a sister.

A £50MILLION masterpiece
stolen 22 years ago has been
found hidden in the wall of
the art gallery from where it
was snatched.
The painting, Portrait Of A
Lady, by Gustav Klimt, was
discovered by workers as they
cleared ivy from an outside wall
and found a small trap door.
Inside was a plastic bag that
contained the artwork, which
By News Reporter
was completed by the Austrian
artist in 1917. It is said to be in
“excellent” condition.
Art experts will now examine
it to check its authenticity.
The painting vanished in
February 1997 from the Ricci
Oddi modern art gallery in
Piacenza, in northern Italia.
Police said at the time they
believed thieves had used a
fishing line to hook the painting
off the wall and haul it up
through an open skylight to the
gallery roof, where the frame
was discarded.
A forgery of the painting,
posted to a disgraced politician,
was seized a month later,
adding to the mystery.
Jonathan Papamarengh, head
of culture at Piacenza’s town
council, described the find as
“incredible”.
He said it was hard to believe
that the original had been
hidden in the wall since its
disappearance.
He added: “The painting’s
condition is excellent.
“It seems strange to believe it
has been tucked away in a wall,
close to the ground and veget-
ation, for 22 years.” Gustav Klimt’s Portrait Of A Lady was stolen in 1997

IF you sleep more than nine hours
a night or grab a lengthy
afternoon nap your risk of
suffering a stroke rises by up to a
quarter, a study has warned.
Researchers found people who
slept for long periods were 23 per
cent more likely to have a stroke
than people who slept less than
eight hours per night.
The study also showed that
over-60s who took a regular
midday nap of more than 90
minutes were 25 per cent more
likely to later suffer a stroke than
By Stephen Beech
those who had a regular nap
lasting up to an hour or no nap.
And people who said they slept
poorly were 29 per cent more
likely to have a stroke than those
who had good sleep.
The study, published in the
journal Neurology, involved
31,750 people in China with an
average age of 62. They did not
have any history of stroke or
other major health problems at
the start of the study. Participants
were followed for an average of
six years, during which time there
were 1,557 stroke cases.
Author Dr Xiaomin Zhang, of
Huazhong University of Science
and Technology in China, added:
“These results highlight the
importance of moderate napping
and sleeping, and maintaining
good sleep quality, especially in
middle-age and older adults.
“Long napping and sleeping
may suggest an overall inactive
lifestyle, which is also related to
increased risk of stroke.”

FAMILIES FLEE AFTER

Couple told ‘get out now’ as clifftop home

A COUPLE have been told to
leave their home within a week
over fears it will fall into the sea.
Instead of celebrating Christmas
at their cottage, one of Britain’s
easternmost houses, Juliet
Blaxland and her husband Giles
will see it bulldozed.
Architect, author and illustrator
Juliet, 55, believed their cottage
would be safe for at least five
years.
But a series of violent autumn
storms led to more than 29ft (9m)
of land disappearing in four
months and their home is now
By Louie Smith
about 32ft from the cliff edge.
Last week, more than 11ft of the
cliff collapsed overnight and
experts declared the row of cot-
tages in Easton Bavents, near
Southwold, Suffolk, unsafe.
Juliet and Giles, 60, who first
moved into the hamlet 12 years
ago, have started packing to move
up the coast to the village of
Benacre next week.
Juliet said: “In the last two
weeks we’ve lost what would nor-
mally be two years of land. It’s
caught us all by surprise.” At one
time, the village boasted a church
and many houses, but over the
last few centuries, erosion into the
North Sea has almost destroyed
the community.
A spokesman for Coastal
Partnership East, a group formed
by local authorities, said: “The sit-
uation is now critical and people
living in clifftop properties are
at risk.
“The last three terraced proper-
ties remaining in the clifftop zone
are now less than 10 metres from
the edge.”

OLDER people are being urged to

Many people get less exercise

sheltering from the cold.
But dropping from an ideal target

two-week period can lead to
significant muscle-loss and an

The changes were seen in people of

are more likely to see their health
suffer as a result, according to study
author Juliette Norman.
“Two weeks of significantly
reduced activity is quite common
around Christmas time,” she said.
“If the gym is hard to get to people
should be encouraged to just meet
10,000 steps as even this can guard
against reductions in muscle and
bone health, as well as maintaining
healthy levels of body fat.”
The findings will be presented at
the 2019 Physiological Society
conference in Liverpool next week.

AS the nation goes to the polls, Michael
Portillo recalls being the most famous
general election casualty over 20 years ago.
Reflecting on what was dubbed the
“Portillo Moment”, when he suffered a
shock defeat to Labour while defending the
London seat of Enfield Southgate in 1997,
the politician-turned-
broadcaster, pictured,
advises: “It’s certainly
important to be a good
loser. Have an elegant
little loser’s speech in your
pocket.”
Tipped as a likely Tory
leader before his dramatic
downfall, 66-year-old
Portillo, now happily presenting shows on
railway journeys, adds on Radio 4: “It’s a
very, very public humiliation,
“I don’t wish it on anybody. But if it does
happen, they might reflect that in my case,
in my humble view, it was the making of
me… as one door closes, another opens.”
GIVEN a sponsored Fiat Uno during his
early days as a professional footballer,
Gary Lineker remembers driving with
future wife Michelle to a discreet country
lane when courting.
Admitting the windows were soon
“steaming up”, Lineker explains the deal
included having his name largely
emblazoned on the vehicle. He adds:
“Suddenly there’s a knock… somebody’s
going: ‘Gary, we know you’re in there!’ ”
OLD smoothie Nigel Havers, fondly writing
of his late father the former Attorney
General Sir Michael, says in Country Life
magazine: “Many years ago, after making a
killing on a horse in the Derby, my dad
decided to take us on holiday to Italy.
“We drove there and back in his old Jaguar.
It allowed us to enjoy the ever-changing
scenery… especially when we broke down.”
DISCUSSING his relationship with movie
star father Kirk Douglas, who turned 103
this week, Michael Douglas acknowledges
the former initially considered his son an
“awful actor”.
“He was right!” insists
Michael, 75, pictured. “It
was in those early college
productions… I had a
long way to go.”
Recalling his old man’s
acclaimed 1949 boxing
role, Douglas adds:
“You’re being judged
against the guy from Champion.”
It didn’t turn out badly, of course. While
Kirk eventually received an honorary
Academy Award in 1996, Michael had
already won the best actor Oscar for
1987’s Wall Street.
HAVING turned a sprightly 85 at the
beginning of the week, Dame Judi Dench
has since enjoyed a surprise birthday bash
arranged by daughter Finty Williams.
With fellow guests including Dame
Maggie Smith, award-winning actor and
musician Giles Terera, who performed a few
piano numbers in Judi’s honour, told Finty:
“How you kept the secret, I’ll never know.”
WHILE the prospect of rocker Ozzy
Osbourne being knighted might seem
unlikely, a fans’ campaign has reached
19,000 signatures. The reformed hellraiser
is certainly known to the royals. On

T How to avoid a
IS the season of peace
on Earth and goodwill
to all men – or so the
saying goes. But for
many of us, Christmas
can be a time of stress
and arguments. Keep your cool
this Yule with this expert advice.
FESTIVE FLASHPOINT: I can’t
afford to spend much on gifts, I
worry people will think I’m mean.
Talk to relatives and friends and
agree a limit, advises financial
expert Jamie Smith-Thompson
(portafina.co.uk). “Conversations
about money can feel awkward,
but being open and honest means
you will be free to enjoy the
festivities without unnecessary
guilt and worry.
“Your family and genuine
friends will be understanding and
supportive, and you might even
find others feel the same.”
And remember, when it comes
to gifts, it’s the thought that counts
rather than the amount spent, says
psychotherapist Hannah Martin
(talentedladiesclub.com).
“With this in mind, explain why
you chose each personalised gift
for your relatives when they open
them. Or suggest using the money
everyone would usually spend to
buy a family day out, rather than
material things nobody really
needs,” Hannah says.
“If anyone objects, it says more
about their lack of empathy and
Christmas spirit than it does about
your finances,” she adds.
FESTIVE FLASHPOINT: I’m sick
of doing everything while nobody
else helps.
“Nothing spoils Christmas like
festering resentment,” says
Hannah. “So if you’re tired of
being left to do it all, take charge
in advance. Make a list of tasks
that need to be done, and people
who can help, including children.
“Then assign appropriate tasks
to everyone and share the list.
“You don’t need to apologise, just
say you’d really appreciate
everyone’s help to make Christmas
run smoothly.”
Then let them get on with it,
says Dr Elle Boag, social
psychologist at Birmingham City
University. “Accept it may not be
done the way you would do it. It
doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect if
it takes some of the weight off
your shoulders.
“And find other ways to make
life easy. For instance, do food
shopping online and ask relatives
and friends to bring a dish.”

want so much, how do I say no?

alive, try the “rule of three”. This
means you’re with one set one
year, one set the next and then do
something separate from both in
the third year,” says relationships
expert Lucy Beresford.
There’s no need to get stuck in a
rut, she adds. “It’s also perfectly
acceptable to announce that this
year, you want to do things
differently.
“If you feel you’ve done your bit
seeing in-laws recently, make it
clear you have different plans to
Picture: GETTY give them the freedom to make
their own arrangements.”
FESTIVE FLASHPOINT: Having
relatives to stay stresses me out.
“It’s easier to tackle problems like
this by taking control from the
outset,” advises Hannah.
“Agree with your partner how
long you’d both like family or
friends to stay before making
plans. When discussing
arrangements with invited guests,
say you’re looking forward to
seeing them but have a firm date
for their departure because you
have plans.
“If it makes you feel more
comfortable you can actually plan
something for the day after they
go, so you have a genuine reason
to enforce it.”
And don’t play hostess all the
time. “Encourage guests to make
themselves at home, for example,
helping themselves to drinks and
snacks whenever they want. Most
people feel uncomfortable being
waited on and would much prefer
to feel they are contributing.
“Finally, unless you are snow-
bound in some remote log cabin,
ensure you get out of the house on
your own every day.”
FESTIVE FLASHPOINT: I’m

Children across the country will
unwrap a vast range of electronic
gifts this Christmas – raising safety
concerns for parents.
“Gaming has become part and
parcel of growing up in the digital

of Internet Matters.
“But it’s important for parents
to help their children by getting to
grips with potential risks and
dismissing it. “It’s vital your want to enforce, and what you’re having open and regular

PICKS OF THE DAY
Film: Only The Brave,
Film4, 6.20pm
Showing on Film4 for the
first time, this fact-based
drama from two years ago
stars Josh Brolin (left),
Jennifer Connelly and
Andie MacDowell. Eric
Marsh, the superintendent
of a group of elite
firefighters, is pushed to
his limit when he and his
crew tackle a historic
wildfire. Joseph Kosinski,
of Tron: Legacy and Top
Gun: Maverick fame, is
the director of what is an
enjoyable tale based on
the GQ article “No Exit”
by Sean Flynn. While it
did not do well at the box
office, it was a critical hit.
Soap: EastEnders, BBC1, 7.30pm
Ruby tells Max she is fed up of Ian – and decides it is
time to teach the pompous restaurant owner (Adam
Woodyatt, above left, with Louisa Lytton as Ruby) a
lesson. Having finally discovered the truth, Whitney
finds herself in a dangerous situation, so Tiffany and
Callum spring into action in an attempt to bring her to
safety – will they be able to get to her in time? Also,
tonight, Jay offers Stuart a job.

BBC1, for example, is putting
tonight’s TV out four different versions of
ELECTION 2019 (9.55pm), giving
viewers in Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland an alternative to
Huw Edwards and his posse
(although Wales and Northern
Ireland can still watch Huw on
BBC2, if only to see how well
he’s doing at filling David
Dimbleby’s shoes).
And starting at the same time,
STV carries the Scottish-focused
version of ITV’s ELECTION 2019
Business: Inside The Christmas Factory,
BBC2, 9pm
Millions of freezers up and down the
country will be packed with party food
ready for the festive season. Tonight,
Gregg Wallace and Cherry Healey
(left) find out how the mass-produced
delights are made. Wallace visits a
factory in Nottingham where 200,000
canapes are produced each day.
Healey discovers fail-safe scientific
methods for cooking the perfect
Christmas roast, turning her oven into
a turkey sauna with ice cubes in a
baking tray. Ruth Goodman looks into
the tradition of kissing under the
mistletoe and also investigates how
the period of advent, associated with
fasting, came to be connected with
chocolate-packed calendars.
Documentary: Christmas At Chatsworth House,
C4, 9pm
One-off documentary going behind the scenes
at Chatsworth, one of England’s most impressive
stately homes, as the Duke, Duchess and
their 800 staff brace themselves for an influx of
200,000 visitors over the 2019 festive season.
Christmas is the most important event for the
Derbyshire estate and is crucial to its survival.

JAWS ★★★★★
Sky Cinema Greats, 5.15pm
A whole generation of cinemagoers became afraid of
the ocean after watching Steven Spielberg’s first
blockbuster – and it’s easy to see why.
Almost 45 years on from its big screen release, Jaws
still packs a punch. Tense, compelling and gripping, it’s
a brilliant adaptation of Peter Benchley’s novel about
the efforts to capture and kill a great white shark that’s
been making a meal of New England tourists.
Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw star
in a film followed by three disappointing sequels.

Shocking revelation proves
Corbyn can’t be trusted
SO Jonathan Ashworth has finally
let the cat out of the bag.
If Jeremy Corbyn’s own shadow
health secretary can’t trust him then
what does that say for the rest of
his party and the country?
It proves what a liability and
security risk Jeremy Corbyn is.
His economic madness would
lead to an immediate downturn.
His views on terrorists would
be a security nightmare.
And we all know his views on
democracy are clear just by looking
at his ignorant stance on Brexit.
The only way to end the Brexit
roadblock is to back Boris Johnson
and vote Conservative.
Geoffrey Brooking,
Havant, Hants
We’d be back to dark days
of the gloom-laden 1970s
LISTENING to John McDonnell’s
hard-Left, ideologically driven
spending plans for a Labour
government, I couldn’t help
wondering how soon before the
International Monetary Fund would
come calling.
Labour’s template for power is
back to the bleak economic and
social misery of the early 1970s
via a massive increase in state
control and a tax burden that
would fall on every one of us.
We’re at the crossroads today.
Let’s go forward with a clear vote
for a Conservative government and
build on the underlying strength of
this great country rather than
destroy it by reverting to the failed
socialist experiments of the past.
Simon Baker,
Rangeworthy, Glos
Break with tradition and Families

IT is becoming obvious that we
can’t just bury our heads in the sand
and vote as we always have done,
regardless of our usual allegiance.
We are being warned in no
uncertain terms that Corbyn is not
the kind grandpa image he likes to
portray and cannot be trusted
with running our country.
We need industry to feed our
families, finance our NHS and get
the country up and running –
Labour’s “radical” proposals are
deemed unsound by critics and the
threat of increased strikes will
paralyse the country and plunge us
back into the dark days of the 70s.
Johnson is a team player and
brings others into positions
best suited.
Business owners and others in
managerial roles need to alert the
workforce as to the nature of this
election and to vote Conservative
to ensure a working majority is
achieved to safeguard their future.
Pete Lipscombe,
Southampton
This Robin Hood mentality do
would leave us all poorer
I READ the words “redistribution
of wealth” in the Labour manifesto
and on the Momentum website.
This reminds me of Robin Hood;
rob the rich, give to the poor.
Believe me, my family is not
rich. My father is a bricklayer, my

Sagittarius Nov 23 – Dec 21
You’re tired of having to cover
for an unreliable colleague. Your boss
does not seem to realise or respect your
hardworking efforts. Situations that make
you feel tense and nervous should be
avoided like the plague.
0905 789 3709**
Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20
A workmate’s critical attitude
is causing problems at work. Talk this
matter through with your boss or another
colleague you can trust. Confusion in a
close relationship can be ironed out once
you sit down together and have a talk.
0905 789 3710**
Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19
A misunderstanding with your
partner or best friend will leave you feeling
sad. You are sure this problem was not
caused by you but they feel the same way.
It could be six of one and half a dozen of
the other. You need to meet halfway.
0905 789 3711**
Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20
Friends and neighbours who
normally get on well together are now at
loggerheads. You don’t really want to be
dragged into their arguments. It might be
a good idea to make yourself scarce for a
while or at least explain how you feel.

Fit-again defender’s ready to step up and
be Lampard’s on-field general and talker
ANTONIO RUDIGER wants to be
the leader of men on the pitch that
Frank Lampard has been looking
for in his young Chelsea team.
German international Rudiger
finally made his full comeback
after a nightmare first five
months of the season, in which
he managed to play just 45
minutes of football.
The 26-year-old recovered from
knee surgery in the summer, only
to suffer a groin injury on his
comeback at Wolves in September
when he slipped on a metal plate at
the side of the pitch.
But on Tuesday night the defender
was back in action to help Chelsea
into the last 16 of the Champions
League with a 2-1 win over Lille.
IT’S GOOD Rudiger impressed and declared he

Luiz or Gary Cahill. I’m always loud
on the pitch, especially with the young
guys, because you need to help them.
“There will be a period – that is
normal because we are all human –
that you will fall a bit, performances
go down.
“That is where I especially, as the
most experienced in the back, need to
help those young guys. I’m in for that.

In my position it is very important to
speak, to be loud because I have the
whole pitch in front of me.
“This has always been natural to
me. I have always, even when I was
young, been commanding.
“If you don’t speak then things will
be a bit difficult. But me and Kurt
spoke directly, and the commands
were clear. It was easier for everyone.”
Rudiger added: “It’s been a long
time but I’m happy that everything
went well and we are in the last 16.
“I had the surgery, and you listen to
the doctor. You have to be patient and
wait for your time. That’s what I did.
“It’s good if people want me back.
Of course there is a little bit of
pressure. It’s good in football when
you have that, because then you are
ready to perform.
“What can Chelsea achieve this
year? For me personally, because
I have been out for so long, I take

Liverpool deserve to be the most

Reaching the final for the last two

major factor in that.
But so too is Anfield, a place
where opposition sides are routinely
blown away by one of the most
ferocious atmospheres in football.
Proof of that was written on the
faces of Lionel Messi and Luis
Suarez last season, when Barcelona
were sensationally knocked out in
the semi-finals.
That fear factor is something the

Robertson, right. And it is something
they have earned the hard way.
“That is the atmosphere we have
created in the last two years, a team

JESUS TREBLE
HEAVEN SENT
Gabriel grabs a stunning hat-trick as
City wrap up group with a flourish
one that will need to be picked
apart on the analysis board back
in Manchester.
Damian Kadzior whipped in a
curling, left-foot cross perfectly in
between Nicolas Otamendi and
Eric Garcia, which Dani Olmo
volleyed high past Claudio Bravo
from eight yards.
City took their time to respond
but after 35 minutes Jesus
headed them level. Riyad Mahrez
got to the right byline, turned on
to his left foot and hung up a
cross at the far post that the
Brazilian nodded home.
Dinamo were aggrieved that
City had not stopped play earlier
in the move when Petar
Stojanovic appeared to injure
himself. But given it was in an
attempt to trip Foden, it seemed
like justice had been done.
It is more than could be said
for the only notable incident of
the half when Amer Gojak got
away with a blatant elbow into
Rodri’s face when the pair
FOOTBALL: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
challenged for the ball in front
of the dugouts. Despite City’s
protestations, Gojak escaped
with just a caution.
Within five minutes of the
restart, City and Jesus had their
second as the Brazilian wriggled
through bodies on the left side
and steadied himself before
calmly chipping the ball over
Dominik Livakovic.
His third required fewer
touches, meeting Benjamin
Mendy’s cross from the left at the
far post with a sidefooted finish
from close range.
Within 10 minutes he was
sitting on the sidelines, quite
possibly wrapped in cotton wool
by Guardiola himself.
He was replaced by Oleksandr
Zinchenko, on what was his first
appearance since surgery on a
knee injury sustained in
mid-October.
Guardiola will hope he is the
first of a host of players rushing
back from the treatment table.

PEP JOINS THE 500 CLUB
PEP GUARDIOLA praised
hat-trick hero Gabriel
Jesus for scoring the
500th goal of his City
reign – but joked he needs

Guardiola. “We’vee
