REFLECT on the Wapping dispute four decades later and many things come to mind. Rupert Murdoch’s influence on trade union law was apparent then and since. Its plans for the trade unions were set out in the Stepping Stones Report and the Ridley Report, both in 1977. It gave workers the upper hand in “wage share,” ie the proportion of GDP going to wages rather than profits. The Wapping dispute played, therefore, a historically important part in the establishment of the neoliberal economy which, as we now see, has reduced Britain to penury.

Forty-nine days later, Juventus and Napoli meet again. Juventus get a shot at revenge against the defending Serie A champions less than two months after Napoli handed the Bianconeri their first loss under Luciano Spalletti. If not for that loss to Cagliari, Juventus would have entered this weekend’s showdown in Turin with the chance to jump over Napoli in the Serie A standings. JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCHBig games call for big players to potentially do big player things. This season, that has only continued, seemingly looking like he’s on the cusp of stardom for a Juventus team that is desperate for that kind of building block.

Neoliberalism was created after World War II, and I stress the point, it was a deliberate construction. Markets allocate power according to wealth, and wealth is not fairly distributed, so markets cannot reflect equality with regard to freedom. Neoliberalism could not work, though, in a world where post-war economics met people's needs, and the welfare state offered freedom from fear. When full employment and public investment mattered, then there was no prospect for neoliberalism, and then the 1970s arrived. It has turned citizenship into consumption, and now neoliberalism is dying.

Jan 25, 2026 16:00:00What is the 'way to survive winter' from a psychological perspective? Top tips for getting through winter months—and they're not what you thinkhttps://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-01-winter-months-theyre.htmlWinter is coming … but don't panic! Homer argues that the need to slow down during the winter months is a biological need, not a personal flaw. Avoiding overly bright lighting indoors and using candles and indirect lighting to create a cozy winter space promotes psychological relaxation. In fact, they say you can rewire negative thought patterns by consciously focusing on the beauty of winter, such as the golden winter light filtering through the clouds, the birds perching on your windowsill, and the light reflecting off streetlights.

Juventus’ reported deal for Youssef En-Nesyri has hit a bit of a road block. A big part of that is because his former club, Sevilla, has reportedly come back into the fold and is now an option for him to go to this month. As Agresti said, Juventus aren’t going to just sit around and wait for an answer from En-Nesyri. Once Monday arrives, there will be one more week remaining in the winter transfer window. Juve need time to pivot, and there’s only so much time for them to actually bring in another striker during the winter window.

Talking TacticsLiverpool trotted out a 4-2-2-2 in today’s match, which saw some time in that aforementioned Champions League tilt against Marseille. In the early going of the match, Liverpool looked dangerous and were in a position to exploit space created behind Bournemouth’s fullbacks due to how high both Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez were played. Which is to say that they didn’t look particularly incisive nor did they look particularly inept over the course of the match. But fine is what gets you dumped out of the Champions League spaces and, maybe, entirely out of Europe. What Happens NextLiverpool are going to need to cobble together a set of wins here not only to re-capture their hold on the Champions League places in the league, but also to advance as deep as possible in the current Champions League and FA Cup tournaments.

Ms Lever was born in Saujon, in the south west of Nazi-occupied France, in November 1943, to a Jewish mother and a Catholic father. “But when they were out, they realised they could not leave their parents,” Ms Lever told the Press Association. Ms Lever remembered her grandparents Jacob Foks and Helene Foks (left), and her parents Lilian Xavier and Pierre Xavier (Jordan Pettitt/PA)“I fear it and I feel it. “And to hear that from a German person who was involved in the war, not only a citizen but involved in the war, I must say really marked me. This family history was never fully explained to Ms Lever, who pieced the parts of the puzzle together bit by bit over time.
