4 d. ago Reaction when I stood up for trans women made me realise I had to do more

Manchester City and Netherlands player explains why she has become an LGBT Foundation patron and the importance of keeping football free of hateIn April, after scoring for Manchester City against Everton, I kissed a band in the blue, white and pink colours of the transgender flag on my right wrist. I felt very strongly about the supreme court ruling, politically and emotionally. It really hurt me, even though I’m a cisgender woman, and it still hurts me because it targets people within my community.I really feel part of the queer community because I grew up in a pretty small town in the Netherlands and didn’t have a lot of queer people in my circle or in school, and there wasn’t a lot of representation on TV. I never really felt a part of any community because I didn’t really know it was out there. Growing up and coming out and being in women’s football, which has a very accepting and open environment, and then moving to Manchester, I felt that I could be myself and I became much mo...

4 d. ago England captain Zoe Aldcroft on winning World Cup: ‘We had so much belief’

Back from partying in Ibiza after a ‘massive whirlwind’, the Gloucester-Hartpury forward is now focused on success in the Premiership Women’s Rugby“I was telling myself: ‘Don’t cry right now, Zoe. Do not cry right now.’ But I just knew that we’d done it.”Zoe Aldcroft is reflecting on the moment last month when she realised England had won the Women’s Rugby World Cup. There were 12 minutes to play at a sold-out, increasingly euphoric Twickenham, but the hosts had created a 20-point cushion against Canada thanks to Alex Matthews’s second try. Continue reading...

3 w. ago JLR to resume some manufacturing in coming days after hack: GSK shares rise 3% after surprise CEO change – business live

JLR says “controlled, phased restart” of its operations continues, as GSK appoints a new boss to succeed Dame Emma Walmsley.GSK’s Emma Walmsley to be replaced as chief executiveInside the Jaguar Land Rover hack: stalled smart factories, outsourced cybersecurity and supply chain woesEmma Walmsley’s departure as CEO of GSK at the end of the year will be the “end of an era”, says Derren Nathan, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown.Nathan explains:“The first ever female CEO of a major pharmaceutical company, Dame Emma Walmsley, is set to hand over GSK’s reins on New Year’s Day 2026. One of her key achievements was the demerger of Haleon, the company behind consumer health brands such as Beechams. That not just strengthened GSK’s balance sheet but also sharpened the group’s focus on speciality medicines and vaccines. There’s an exciting pipeline ahead and, this year alone, GSK’s on track for five major regulatory approvals. Her reign also saw a line drawn in the sand in the Zan...

4 w. ago Think you’re kind? Maybe you’re just being nice. I’ve learned there’s a big difference | Ann Russell

Like many women, I was conditioned to people-please – until I realised that this was neither helping others, nor myself There is a big difference between being kind and being nice. I’m a cleaner, and I was emphatically told this by an elderly client. I was, I confess, rather prone to giving her dogs a few too many treats. It’s a sensible thing to do when you’re visiting a new client with dogs that don’t know you – making anything with teeth think of me as an unalloyed good thing is something I believe in.Only – as their owner pointed out to me – it wasn’t kind. After I left, this pack of rather large and difficult dogs weren’t as receptive to training. Why didn’t I play with them instead? It would have been just as effective. The answer, of course, was that I took the easy option. I wanted their owner to think I was wonderful, to see how her dogs loved me. I wasn’t, in fact, thinking of being a good thing for the dogs. I just wanted the adoration without putting in the work.Ann Russ...

last month Inside the Jaguar Land Rover hack: stalled smart factories, outsourced cybersecurity and supply chain woes

Being a carmaker where ‘everything is connected’ has left JLR unable to isolate its plants or functions, forcing a shutdown of most systemsThe first external signs of the chaos about to hit JLR, Britain’s largest automotive employer, came on the quiet last Sunday of August. Managers at a factory in Halewood, Merseyside, told industry contacts there might have been a hack – although it was not clear then just how bad the situation was.That changed quickly on the Monday morning. JLR, the maker of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, quickly shut down systems after realising the severity of the cyber-attack. Three weeks later, the carmaker is still incapacitated, unable to produce at any of its factories across the UK, Slovakia, Brazil and India (although a Chinese joint venture is thought to be operating).
