The comedy show, starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, originally aired between 2006 and 2010, and won a BAFTA in 2007.

All four series were recently re-released on BBC iPlayer to mark its 20th anniversary.

BBC removes That Mitchell and Webb Look sketches from iPlayer

The BBC has now confirmed it has removed 11 sketches from the original episodes.

A BBC spokesperson said: “That Mitchell and Webb Look has been made available on BBC iPlayer.

“This is a 20-year-old sketch show; in consultation with the programme makers, we have included the ones that still work today and not the ones that don’t.”

Removed content included sketches featuring a racist war re-enactment, a burqa-wearing contestant on a makeover show, and a “tribe” living in a garden centre.

Comedian Dom Joly, speaking to The Times, said: “I totally get it if the BBC is putting out something really racist, which is laughing at and encouraging other people to feel that it’s OK to do that.

“But it’s so clear that Mitchell and Webb are not doing that.

“Their intent was not to be racist.”

What do viewers think of That Mitchell and Webb Look

The show remains popular with viewers, holding an 8-star rating on IMDb from more than 10,000 reviews.

One fan wrote: “I stumbled upon this by accident, when watching ‘Extras’, which was a lucky break.

“I had low expectations; many recent sketch shows have been pretty poor, but the inventive gems shown in this series will live with me for some time.”

Andy Burnham has said he is “not sure” who Danny Dyer is after the actor’s expletive-laden rant about the Prime Minister.

The Rivals star said he “didn’t know” who the Prime Minister was or who voted for him as he attended a Surfers Against Sewage protest calling for water companies to be returned to public ownership.

In footage shared on X, Dyer was asked if he had a message for the Prime Minister, to which he said: “I don’t know who the Prime Minister is, mate. Do you?”

On being told Mr Burnham was in No 10, Dyer said: “Yeah, but who is he? I don’t understand. Did anyone vote for him? Because I didn’t vote for him.

“I think we’ve had successive prime ministers that are c***s. End of.”

Asked about this by reporters as he travelled to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Mr Burnham said: “I’m not sure I know who he is. Is he the father-in-law of a West Ham player?”

Dyer’s daughter Dani is married to West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen.

United Utilities have apologised to residents

Residents living on a street in south Manchester say it was left looking ‘like a river’ for two days after it was hit by two leaks.

Water is said to have first started running down Lownorth Road in the Woodhouse Park area of Wythenshawe on Friday (September 18).

Locals said it was ‘kerb high’ and rendered the street impassable on foot at one point. A number of people living in the area have told the Manchester Evening News that the situation was ongoing for more than 48 hours.

United Utilities has now confirmed they attended reports of a leak in the area on Friday, and carried out a repair; however, there was then a ‘secondary leak’ in the same spot on Saturday.

When the M.E.N visited today (Monday), the road surface could be seen covered in mud and silt from where the water had been.

A section of the street remains cordoned off, which has been dug out as part of the repairs, and a pool of standing water is still visible inside the hole.

Roy Maddox, 79, said: “It was terrible. It was like a river. It was going down both sides of the road. You couldn’t get across the road; you had to stay on the pavement.

“The kids couldn’t play out, even though they wanted to. Everyone was just wondering: What the hell is going on?’ It was pouring down.”

A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said he first noticed it on Saturday morning. “The water was kerb high. At first, it was mainly on one side, but then both sides of the road were covered, about the same height.”

“It is not the first time it has happened,” he added. “It was a few years ago, but it has happened before in a similar area.”

Another resident said: “It was really bad. It is the worst one I have seen and was a bit of an ordeal.

“At first, it was a trickle, but then it got worse and worse, and it eventually covered virtually the whole road. It was streaming down faster and faster. I was a bit worried about our cars.

“My grandkids wanted to play in it, but I said ‘absolutely not.’”

Whilst another said the situation ’caused an inconvenience and, more importantly, a safety risk for drivers, pedestrians, and anyone using the road after dark.’

A United Utilities spokesperson said: “Our teams attended reports of a leak on Lownorth Road on Friday evening and completed a repair.

“Unfortunately, a secondary leak occurred on Saturday afternoon, which required further work and was successfully repaired on Sunday afternoon.

“We apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused and thank them for their patience while our teams worked as quickly as possible to complete the necessary repairs.”

Almost 9000 rrest warrants for crimes ranging from murder to domestic violence remain outstanding according to Police Scotland

Thousands of criminal suspects across the country are on the run and wanted for serious offences ranging from murder and rape to domestic violence and drugs.

According to shock new figures, released by Police Scotland under Freedom of Information, there are currently 8,998 outstanding arrest warrants waiting to be executed.

Of that total 1,420 relate to Group One offences including crimes of violence such as murder, culpable homicide, attempted murder and serious assault.

The most wanted is Derek “Deco” Ferguson for the murder of barman Tam Cameron, who was shot dead in the car park of the Auchinairn Tavern in Bishopbriggs near Glasgow in 2007.

Police also want to quiz Deco about the murder of Billy Bates, 43, whose body was found in an oil drum the following month near the Erskine Bridge, West Dunbartonshire

Of all the outstanding warrants 816 are more than 12 months old including the one for Ferguson..

The figures also include 725 outstanding warrants for drugs, 64 for rape, six for murder including Deco, 11 for attempted murder and 97 for domestic abuse.

David Kennedy, General Secretary of the Scottish Police Federation yesterday blamed the figures on a chronic shortage of cops.

Police Scotland has around 16,430 officers, one of the lowest number since the force was formed in 2013.

Mr Kennedy added: “The police do not have the resources to deal with the warrants.

“Work is continually being put back and not pushed forward and the backlog is just getting bigger and bigger

“Unless they get more police officers they are going to struggle.

“We do not have enough officers to cope with the workload that we need to do.

“They are always chasing their tail. We are not even treading water we are drowning.”

There are also 159 warrants outstanding for fraud, 212 for offensive weapons, 147 for gross indecency, 129 for theft by housebreaking, 93 for police assault and 17 for hate crimes.

The most common outstanding arrest warrant is 1281 for assault with 1176 wanted for minor traffic offences, 883 for breach of the peace, 946 for theft and 472 for bail offences

Many of the warrants are issued when a person fails to appear in court.

In some cases an individual will have more than one against their name.

The arrest warrant figures are up to August 14 this year with the longest outstanding warrant for Deco.

Former police superintendent Martin Gallagher says too many officers are being diverted from frontline tasks to non policing roles such as aiding people with mental health issues.

Mr Gallagher added:”For these warrants to come down the police need to stop taking on the work of all other public sector bodies.

“With of 775,000 policing hours lost to mental health calls last year it is obvious that the police are being diverted from catching criminals, their reason for being.

“When will this end? The police simply cannot do everything, and they certainly can’t with 1000 less cops and 200 less police stations, as has occurred in the last few years.

“If you want these serious criminals caught you need to let the police get on with policing.”

Rape Crisis Scotland external affairs manager Nicola Love said: “One outstanding warrant for rape and sexual offences is one too many.

“Survivors already face unacceptable wait times in the criminal justice process without factoring in additional delays due to outstanding warrants.

“It is also really concerning to see this figure rising from the 40 reported outstanding warrants for rape in February this year.

“Deciding to report rape or sexual violence is an incredibly difficult decision for any survivor and this can damage already-fragile trust in the criminal justice system.”

Scottish Labour justice spokesperson Pauline McNeill said: “These figures come as no surprise. It is clear that there is a crisis in the number of available Police Officers to carry out front line duties.

“Not nearly enough progress has been made in freeing up officers from welfare duties such as 101 mental health calls, as the criminal justice committee heard last week.

“I urge the SNP Government to act on this and to ensure that they are properly funding Police Scotland so that it has the resources required to keep our communities safe.”

Scottish Conservative justice spokesman, Stephen Kerr MSP said: Year after year, officers have warned they are overstretched and under-resourced

“With the Budget approaching, the SNP must finally put their money where their mouth is and give Police Scotland the resources it needs to track down these suspects and keep dangerous criminals off our streets.”

Scottish Lib Dems justice spokesperson Y-Pei Chou Turvey said: “These are worrying figures, especially when it comes to the most serious offences.

“The new Justice Secretary needs to come forward with a realistic plan to ensure the needs of the service are met.”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “All arrest warrants are prioritised according to the threat, risk and harm and those facing arrest should be aware we’ll follow all lines of inquiry and use all resources to locate them as soon as possible.

“We deploy local and national, specialist resources and intelligence techniques to locate those who pose the greatest risk of harm and threat to communities and apprehend them.

“Some individuals will have committed multiple offences, and have more than one arrest warrant issued against them by the courts.”

A Scottish Government spokesman said:”The execution of warrants is the responsibility of Police Scotland, who remain focused on the investigation of crime and keeping our communities safe.

“We are investing record funding of more than £1.7 billion in policing in 2026–27 which will enable the service to recruit and maintain officer numbers at 16,500.

“Scotland continues to have more police officers per capita than England and Wales, and remains a safe place to live, with recorded crime having fallen by half since 1991.”

In August 2026, an experiment using “frontier”, or cutting edge, artificial intelligence models went further than planned.

An AI agent (a system that performs tasks autonomously) fabricated online identities in order to pressurise a human to insert malicious computer code into software. The agents had been tasked with solving a cybersecurity challenge by human operators, but they hadn’t been instructed to do anything like this.

The attempt was carried out by an agent based on Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5 AI model. During the experiment, the AI agents were given open internet access, with safety filters switched off. The action ultimately failed, and there was no evidence that any real world harm occurred. But the fact that it happened at all, autonomously and unprompted by a human, was something novel and notable.

It’s tempting to draw a straight line from incidents like this to the doomsday scenarios that dominate public conversation about AI: a system that slips its constraints, decides humanity is an obstacle and moves against us.

One of the most common versions has AI engineering a virus capable of wiping out the species. Another version involves AI hacking into critical infrastructure, such as energy grids, nuclear plants and airports, to cause mass casualties.

Bringing down an energy grid could cause life support systems to fail in hospitals and pumps distributing running water to fail. Causing a meltdown in a nuclear plant could contaminate the surrounding environment with radioactive material. Hacking an airport has the potential to cause havoc with planes in the air.

These scenarios are far less plausible than they sound, however. Producing a dangerous pathogen requires physical laboratory work that no level of software automation currently replaces: trained humans operating specialised equipment, handling materials by hand. An AI model, however capable at reasoning or hacking, cannot pipette a sample.

The infrastructure scenario is more nuanced. AI can genuinely help automate stages of a cyberattack. Recent incidents have shown that energy grids do contain vulnerabilities.

But safety and control systems inside nuclear plants are typically air-gapped, physically isolated from the public internet, so compromising them takes physical proximity or inside access, not a clever piece of code. Nuclear facilities also depend on redundant, analogue safeguards that don’t run through any digital network.

The Stuxnet software, which damaged Iran’s Natanz facility in 2010, was reportedly introduced onto computers via an infected USB drive, precisely because those systems weren’t reachable any other way. AI lacks the physical access these scenarios require.

Even deployed inside robots, a “rogue AI” is unlikely to cause serious damage without human help along the chain, and by then, the malicious actor is a human, not a machine.

Erosion of thinking

None of that makes AI harmless. It just relocates where the real danger sits, and it isn’t extinction. Researchers sometimes call the more concrete risk “enfeeblement”, the gradual erosion of our own critical thinking as we outsource more of it to machines.

We’re teaching ourselves that there’s a shortcut to reasoning and judgement, and shortcuts, taken often enough, become the only way we know how to think.

We’re already watching this happen among students. Alcorn State University history
professor Jason Gibson went viral in July 2026 after revealing that 32 of his 35 students had failed part of a midterm because they had copied an AI chatbot’s answer without reading it.

Gibson had hidden an instruction in white text inside the exam question, telling any AI that processed it to insert the word “Madagascar” into the response in a way that made no sense. Every student who pasted the question into a chatbot and submitted the output unread duly handed in essays that mentioned Madagascar for no reason.

It’s not just students that are susceptible to the shortcut effect. In a study published in in 2023, 27 radiologists read mammograms alongside what they believed was a new AI diagnostic system. In fact, the suggestions were not from an AI at all. They had been prepared in advance and were wrong for a proportion of cases. When the suggestion was correct, radiologists reached the right diagnosis about 80% of the time. When it was wrong, that fell to under 20%.

In other words, believing a suggestion came from AI was enough to override the radiologists’ own reading of the same evidence. That’s the risk in front of us, not a rogue artificial mind deciding humanity’s fate. So why does extinction-level rhetoric dominate the conversation instead? Two reasons stand out, and neither is really about saving humanity.

The first is regulatory philosophy. The US generally lets new technologies proceed until they’re proven unsafe; Europe expects the opposite, and already has the AI Act in place, along with GDPR, which is relevant to the way AI systems process personal data. The UK sits closer to the European instinct. Therefore, calls for AI regulation are more urgent in the US partly because so little regulatory infrastructure exists there yet.

The second is competitive positioning. Anthropic’s chief executive, Dario Amodei, has argued publicly for slowing AI development while noting his own company already meets the standard he’s calling for, so any slowdown would mainly constrain everyone else. Elon Musk made a similar call when his own models trailed the leaders.

Amodei has also argued that export controls on AI chips to China could hand the US a “commanding and long-lasting lead”: a statement about competitive position, not existential safety.

None of this means AI is safe. It means the danger is more mundane than the doomsday framing suggests: infrastructure that needs guarding, judgement we are quietly handing away and warnings that often serve the interests of whoever is issuing them. Maybe humans are the ones we need to watch, not machines.

Mr Burnham said he was “acting to secure the interests of Britain and the wider region because, of course, Saudi Arabia has been experiencing attacks, is looking at potential further disruption, and we need to keep those pathways open, and hence our agreement to the request”.

Lucy Letby was found to have killed and harmed babies by injecting air into their blood, poisoning them with insulin and overfeeding them with milk.

A Doctor who originally accused Lucy Letby of murdering babies has called for a retrial as he is uncertain of her guilt.

Letby, 36, is currently serving 15 whole-life terms and has twice had appeals rejected after she was convicted in 2023 and 2024 of the murder of seven babies and eight attempted murders at the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital in 2015 and 2016.

In a scathing 822-page report published last week, Lady Justice Thirlwall said there had been a “complete failure to protect babies” at the Countess of Chester Hospital, where Letby, now 36, worked between 2015 and 2016.

Dr John Gibbs also fears no crime was actually committed, he told The Sun: “If it is the case that Lucy Letby is behind bars for crimes she had not committed, then that’s clearly appalling.”

Retired paediatrician Dr Gibbs says a retrial could be “the most appropriate thing for everyone”.

Dr Gibbs, one of three consultants whose evidence helped convict her, said: “If it wasn’t Letby, do I think someone else was harming them? No, I don’t.” He added: “I hold a very small concern there may not have been any deliberate harm done.”

Asked if he remains certain Letby killed the babies, Dr Gibbs said: “No.”

An inquiry, chaired by Lady Justice Thirlwall, was launched in 2023 in the wake of Letby’s multiple convictions for murder and attempted murder of infants at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

Publishing her final 822-page report last week, Thirlwall said: “There was a complete failure to protect babies on the neonatal unit at the Countess of Chester Hospital.

“This was because no-one seems to have understood that safeguarding action is required when a member of staff is suspected of causing deliberate harm and does not require colleagues to be sure of guilt.

“My report describes dysfunctional management and governance, a gulf between hospital leadership and clinicians, and failure to understand the fundamentals of safeguarding.”

She continued: “There was complete failure at all levels to invoke safeguarding procedures at any point.

“Once there was suspicion that Letby may be causing harm deliberately safeguarding steps should have been taken. She should have been removed from the ward as a neutral act and matters could have been investigated without risk to babies.”

The Health Secretary Yvette Cooper said the publication of the report “must be a turning point for the NHS” and that “the safeguarding and wellbeing of babies must never again be treated as a side issue”.

Killer nurse Lucy Letby has reportedly become increasingly reclusive in prison following the death of a doctor she once described as her “love”.

The convicted serial baby murderer is said to have been allowed to miss prison classes and workshops while staff monitor her wellbeing at HMP Bronzefield. After the death of Consultant Mark Deakin, 53, who worked alongside Letby at the Countess of Chester Hospital and the pair exchanged more than 1,300 Facebook messages over three months in 2016.

Letby, 36, is now said to be spending increasing amounts of time alone in her cell, where she has been watching reality TV and comfort-eating.

A source said: “It is pretty obvious Letby is devastated and the staff have been giving her the equivalent of compassionate leave. She has become more reclusive and spending hours in her cell.

“She has been watching shows including Four in a Bed and Dinner Date and comfort-eating, with chocolate including Galaxy Ripples and Kinder Buenos her favourites. When officers come and call her for something, Letby often says ‘one more episode’ and stays in her cell on her own.”

Libra season lands September 23 and has us all reviewing our closest, inner circle and romantic or family ties.

Who is really on our side? Are we on theirs? Who shows up and who ducks out when we need them? Are we the best parent/friend/partner/colleague we could be? Do we feel balanced in our relationships or like we always fall into unhealthy dynamics or attractions?

Libra is ruled by Venus, the planet of love, money, pleasure and indulgence. These themes play out and distort many relationship chemistries, and the underlying issues you may be impacted by could be a ‘Venus thing’.

Libra is a skilled diplomat, a negotiator, a charming flirt, and a great analyst. Libran relationships often look effortless and positive, but you don’t see all the adjustments and work the Libra folk are doing behind the scenes and under the surface.

Be like a Libra, and let the tarot cards guide you to the work you need to do on a particular relationship this autumn.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot cards for Aries for Libra season: The Hierophant, The Moon

Meaning: This has strong parent/child dynamics (or boss/employee, leader/novice, guru/follower). And the theme is rebellion. But you don’t want to be a rebel without a cause. You need to prepare for this flipping of the tables or you’ll end up right back where you are now, and probably even more frustrated.

Do your homework, understand why you’re pushing back, line up rational arguments and appreciate the emotional drivers in play too. Think about their perspective and position. Consider the ideal outcome. Jump in and shift this balance. It’s time, you’ve outgrown it.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot cards for Taurus for Libra season: Three of Coins, Temperance

Meaning: Three of Coins always signals admirers (often secret ones) to my mind. Folk that really respect and like you, watch shyly and want to get to know you. For some reason, you have overlooked or ignored this chemistry. Why? It could be very positive.

Temperance asks you to be present, visible, consistent, and let this person feel confident enough around you to make their proposal, pitch, offer, introduction etc. It might not even be romantic or friendship at all, it might be a work or collaboration invite. Whatever it is, it could be good news. So notice the ‘quiet ones’ and give them your time.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot cards for Gemini for Libra season: Queen of Cups, Knight of Coins

Meaning: Put some time, energy, effort and even hard work into the closest female relationship you treasure and wish to protect and nurture. Be vulnerable, honest, kind, and creative. Delight them and reassure them. Tell them what’s really going on with you (that’s all they really want to hear, they don’t have an ‘agenda’).

When you’re fully you and fully present, you’re most folks’ favourite company. It’s when you switch off, half-a** it, cancel last minute, or rush through to get to the next thing on your list, that you start to lose folk. It’s not what you do, but what you omit. So put the effort in to be fully you and fully present — and you will restore whatever was fading.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot cards for Cancer for Libra season: Queen of Wands, The Star

Meaning: Use the friend, lover, or acquaintance in your life that is the most adventurous, fun, and likely to want to go on an amazing escapade or journey of discovery with you! It’s time to get out, be brave, and zoom to another level in this alliance. You have the great idea, they have the connections or know-how to make it a reality.

The Star blesses this alliance with joy, success, and excitement. You can, when you join forces, go further faster than you think is possible. You complement each other and create magic together that wouldn’t be possible alone. Join up. Head out. Have fun.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot cards for Leo for Libra season: Two of Wands, Five of Coins

Meaning: You’re always in demand and you can get yourself overbooked and overcommitted faster than most folk. It’s happening again. The Two of Wands shows something like a love triangle, or three’s a crowd, or a conflict of interests where you’re trying to hedge your bets and keep it friendly with everyone.

Can’t be done. Folk need to feel and see you’re either on their side… or not. The Five of Coins asks what you most value, what you couldn’t bear to lose, and what matters to you deeply and for the long run. Focus on that. Choose it. Show your commitment.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Leo

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot cards for Virgo for Libra season: King of Coins, Six of Wands

Meaning: The King of Coins relates to a masculine, older, senior, possibly paternal or boss-like figure in your realm, potentially someone you work for/with or take instruction from. I feel they have been a good influence, taught you a lot, and the relationship has warmed and blossomed over time. There’s a lot of trust.

The Six of Wands asks you to relax a little with them, take down the barriers of formality or politeness and be yourself. You have built enough rapport for this bond to move to a more social, friendly, authentic chemistry and I think you will both get a great deal from it.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Virgo

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot cards for Libra for Libra season: Ace of Cups, Two of Coins

Meaning: Love is blossoming, unfurling and igniting in your realm. The Ace of Cups reveals a new relationship or potential pregnancy, even a new pet. There is a great deal of affection and trust and hope bound up in this bond, and you are breathing life into it and feeling fantastic to have it finally come into your world. And so you should. This is real.

The Two of Coins reminds you not to put all your eggs in one basket, though. No one single person can fulfil every need you have, and you must keep up your other relationships at this time, despite the urge to just deep dive with your new love. That won’t be sustainable, and could set a precedent it’s hard to backtrack from or put pressure on things too early. Enjoy your new love… but make sure you focus on other important bonds too. You have many folk who love, appreciate, and need your presence, don’t forget that.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Libra

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot cards for Scorpio for Libra season: Page of Coins, Death

Meaning: Pages can point to children, younger friends or family, or even students or apprentices (maybe someone who works for you) in your realm. This person is earnest, hardworking, and ambitious. Perhaps they have been an apprentice to your master role? That can be a tricky dynamic to manage long-term because the apprentice always overtakes the master in the end… are you ready for that?

Death shows, whatever the nature of this, that it’s changing. Dramatically. Between now and November, the tables will turn, the bond will break and reform in a new shape and guise. So be ready. Don’t hold on to what was… look ahead to what could be.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Scorpio

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot cards for Sagittarius for Libra season: Nine of Cups, Eight of Wands

Meaning: The Nine of Cups represents your favourite person, the person you’re hanging the most hopes on, the person who perhaps is making a life dream of yours come true with you (a partner, housemate, ally, colleague, co-founder, best friend). They matter, and you need to communicate and open up the floor to other opinions, ideas and inputs too.

Things have been intense… but also strangely quiet. A lot of tension and not a lot of communication or progress on the key issues you can feel simmering. Get things back on track by researching your options, finding out new ideas, discussing them fully and openly, and falling back in love with what you’re both doing.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Sagittarius

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot cards for Capricorn for Libra season: The Hermit, The Hanged Man

Meaning: You have got very stuck and frustrated with a key relationship that you need progress, movement and traction on. Things have stalled. Maybe you’re being ignored? Maybe you’re both not saying what has to be aired? Maybe you feel them pulling away even though they still show up? The Hermit points to a quiet, conscientious, wise person — maybe a Virgo.

The Hanged Man asks you to put yourself in their shoes. Really, truly flip your perspective and angle, and see things from their position. It will unlock a major secret or suppressed insight into the source of the problem. And, once seen, you can discuss. And, once discussed, you can come to a resolution and move forwards again.

Head here for everything you need to know about being a Capricorn

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot cards for Aquarius for Libra season: Seven of Wands, Seven of Coins

Meaning: This card combination makes me think of a rival turning into an ally. Maybe the enemy of your enemy becoming your friend, at long last. An unholy alliance born of competition but sealed by long-term shared experience and now understanding.

Sometimes these are the best relationships because they happen against the odds, so the chemistry and spark has to be strong. And you already have a wealth of shared history, albeit on opposite sides of the fence.

Let things evolve. Don’t try and push this back into what it was. Things have changed, you’ve both changed, and now the way you interact with and deal with each other has changed too.

Head here for everything you need to know about being an Aquarius

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot cards for Pisces for Libra season: Page of Swords, Eight of Coins

Meaning: Trust has to be earned, it is rarely an automatic gift in a relationship, although you usually start fairly neutrally and build from there. The Page of Swords brings the theme of trust into a relationship that you feel has blown hot vs cold, on vs off. So it’s hard to really invest in it, even when the going is good, as things always shift.

The Eight of Coins asks you to give this one last push, a breakthrough is on the cards. Something will click in place, unfold, reveal itself, and whatever used to drive a wedge between you will not be present anymore. This can now become what you always hoped it would be.

Liverpool are all smiles as they enter the international break

Liverpool’s narrow 1-0 victory over Bournemouth will have left Andoni Iraola feeling positive about the start to his stint in charge. The Reds rose to sixth in the Premier League table after Sunday’s win and remain one of just five unbeaten teams in the top flight.

The Spaniard has led Liverpool to two wins and three draws thus far, while defeating Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League and Carabao Cup, respectively.

The first international break of the campaign is now underway and Iraola has already been tipped to add to his squad by signing former favourites of his. Meanwhile, Bradley Barcola has been given a message from a Premier League icon.

Mirror Football takes a look at the latest stories surrounding the Merseyside giants…

Iraola tipped to sign former stars

Jamie Carragher talked up the suggestion of Iraola raiding former club Bournemouth to sign Alex Scott and Rayan. The Spaniard enjoyed an impressive three-year stint on the south coast and led the club to European qualification last season for the first time, with the Cherries duo playing a huge role in the achievement.

Scott and Rayan were both linked with moves away in the summer, with the Englishman reportedly subject to interest from Manchester United and Arsenal. The Brazil international had been touted as a possible replacement for Mohamed Salah at Anfield, but both remained at the Vitality Stadium.

Carragher suggested on Sky Sports that Iraola may use his connection to prise them away from Bournemouth. The Reds legend said of Scott: “I think he’s a wonderful player. There was a lot of interest in him in the summer and because Liverpool have a former Bournemouth manager, you almost think: will there be a link or will there be a couple of players moving that way?

“I thought Rayan was fantastic last season as well. It will have been really good for him to get a goal in midweek because he probably hasn’t been himself at the start of the season. There are some fantastic players here at Bournemouth.”

Shearer praises Barcola

Bradley Barcola became Liverpool’s second-most expensive player ever last month when signing from Paris Saint-Germain in a £123million deal. The 23-year-old has yet to get off the mark in terms of goals and assists, but that hasn’t stopped Alan Shearer from predicting Barcola to soon become a fan favourite at Anfield.

The Frenchman has started the last two Premier League games and has earned plaudits from the Newcastle icon, who believes he can become a “complete player” – but only if he adds more goals to his game. He recently told Betfair: “When Barcola started last week against Fulham, I thought he was brilliant.

“There is no doubt he’s got huge ability. He needs to add more goals to his game to be complete. But in terms of excitement and getting people off their seat, he’ll do that in abundance.”
