a FoRMeR southwark councillor has revealed she turned to alcohol and avoided checking emails after becoming ‘completely burned out’ by the job.

Kimberly McIntosh, who resigned in the run-up to the 2024 general election, described how her ‘lifelong dream’ was shattered by ‘the realities of the job’, in an article for a national paper.

In a soberingly honest account, the exLabour politician says she left via a drunken ‘expletive-laden WhatsApp message’ after the ‘months of stress’ became too much.

Ms McIntosh, who works as a Windrush justice campaigner, recounted her struggle juggling politics with her work.

The former Faraday ward councillor also describes constituents ‘desperation’ as they contended with the cost of living crisis and ‘labyrinthine’ council bureaucracy.

‘As the cost of living crisis became more entrenched, residents’ desperation intensified,’ she wrote.

‘Our community surgeries were filled with frustrated people caught up in the cogs of bureaucracy, as they tried and failed to navigate labyrinthine systems for

Cleaners at James Allen’s Girls’ School, who were employed by DB Services, will have ‘pay cuts’ reversed and backdated, get full sick pay, and compensation for lost hours, United Voices of the World union has claimed.

Rosa Garces Chinche, JAGS cleaner and UVW member, said she was “very happy” with the result.

UVW members were set to strike for three days this week, claiming they were set to lose five weeks’ work without proper consultation.

DB Services has raised their wages from £11.55 to £13.15 per hour to make up for it, only to slash wages back to £11.55 when workers refused to sign the contracts, UVW claimed.

JAGS does not directly employ the cleaners but had reportedly been criticised by local parents and former pupil Dr Marcela Pizarro for failing to support the their cleaners.

Rosa Garces Chinche, JAGS cleaner and UVW member, said: “I am very happy with what we won today, we achieved a lot especially considering for many of us it was the first time we were in a union.”

Petros Elia, general secretary for UVW, said: “We’re pleased the strike action can be avoided and that JAGS - the oldest independent girls’ school in London - will finally treat their cleaners with dignity and respect!”

By Isabel Ramirez Ted Lasso’s Kola Bokinni and his cousin Mary Ellen, stars of BBC’s Celebrity Race Across The World, have spoken about growing up in Peckham, skipping meals and the hardest part of doing the show.

The cousins, who grew up on the North Peckham Estate, have jumped straight back into real life after racing 12,500km through the Amazon.

Currently starring in BBC’s Celebrity Race Across The World, they are one of four duos tasked with getting from one end of South America to the other on a tight budget. They also are banned from flying so have to seek alternative means of travel to get to their final destination: the Andes.

Having travelled a lot with his job, actor Kola said it was nice to be playing himself for once.

Soaring to fame in 2020 for his role as captain Isaac McAdoo in the series about an ex-Premier League football team, Kola admits his life could have turned out very differently.

“When I was thirteen I had an epiphany.

There was a block next to my house near Gloucester Grove, where a group of guys would just sit and hang all day playing music off their phones.”

He said he joined them twice, but on the third day he decided that would not be his story.

“I had to change my whole life, who I was hanging around with. And that’s what I did.”

Halfway across the world and far away from southeast London, we see him stopping for photos as he gets recognised

by Ted Lasso fans.

Kola might still be the same Peckham boy, but ever since getting his big break he has gotten used to a finer lifestyle.

In a chat with the News, Mary Ellen admitted the hardest part of the show for them both was budgeting.

“We thought we had it in the bag because growing up we had to live on a budget,” Mary said, “But it all went out the window.”

“If Kola was craving a can of Coca-Cola, he got a can of Coca-Cola. And it cost a fortune.”

“And he wouldn’t just come back with that, he’d come back with like three bags of sweets.

“And I’m like - we haven’t even had a meal,” she said.

Kola later chimed in to say: “Let the sweets go.”

Who are the cousins from Peckham on BBC’s Celebrity Race Across The World?

Kola Bokinni and Mary Ellen (Celebrity Race Across The World, BBC)

“I’m sacrificing meals and he’s out here buying tanning oil,” Mary joked.

Despite a few spending issues on the trip, the pair who say they are ‘more like siblings’ had a blast.

In the latest episode of the show, which airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm, we see Mary and Kola get jobs at a beach club to earn some extra cash: “I was a dancer and he was a waiter,” Mary said.

Kola had trouble with the language and without the internet, they were put on the spot a lot.

“Other people are allowed to offer you their phone to translate but we can’t ask them for it,” he said.

Mary said the beach club episode was one of her favourite moments.

Having lived in London for years, the trainee counsellor and youth worker now resides back in Ireland where she was born. “Kola thought I’d be back in two months but I love it.”

She said when her cousin called her to do the show, she ‘couldn’t pass it up’, although it had come through last minute.

Initially, Kola was supposed to do the show with his sister - radio and TV presenter, Yinka Bokinni.

“But she got pregnant so couldn’t do it anymore,” he continued. “They asked if I had anyone else and I instantly thought Mary, because our family is crazy and she’s the least crazy one.”

The other contestants on the show are Radio DJ Scott Mills and his partner Sam, Jeff Brazier and his son Freddy and Broadcaster Kelly Brook and her husband Jeremy.

Asked who they got on with the best, they said Scott and Sam. “Me and Fred were close,” Kola added.

“Everyone was there just to debunk when we met at the checkpoints.”

Kola Bokinni, who plays captain Isaac McAdoo in the comedy-drama series spoke about the ‘crazy’ moment in a recent chat with the News.

“We went to the Oval Office and met Jill and Joe Biden,” he said, “It was surreal.”

Kola, who was raised on the North Peckham Estate and still lives in Peckham, said he believes he is the only person from the area to have had the experience.

“I met Kamala and her husband too,” he revealed.

Asked what Vice President Harris,

who is currently running for president, was like, he said: “You can just tell when someone exudes authority.

“She walked in the room and everyone was like ‘Woah’.”

“They’re lovely people and it was an opportunity I couldn’t miss.”

Far-right 2nd row: Kola Bokinni (Official White House Photo by Adam Schultz, Wiki Commons) As well as starring as one of the main characters in Ted Lasso, he played smaller roles in Top Boy and Black Mirror. But it was the Apple TV+ series that really put him on the map globally as an actor.

Speaking on his life now, he said: “So many crazy things have happened to me.

“I’ve been to the Emmys twice. And

we’ve won once while I was there.”

As well as collecting a total of thirteen Emmys, Ted Lasso also won a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2022 for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series.

“I have the SAG award on my dresser right here,” Kola commented.

“I don’t know how to explain it sometimes - I’m at a loss for words.”

Ted Lasso recently got the green light for season 4. Will Kola be returning?

“If they ask me back then cool,” he said, adding that he really ‘bonded’ with his character, Isaac.

“Everything that the team has done for me - I would pay that back in an instant.

I’m just glad I got to be a part of it in the end.

“Time will tell - but it’s early doors.”

Royal Barge Gloriana back Royal 84-foot barge returns to St Katharine Docks

By Isabel Ramirez An elegant barge made for the late Queen’s Diamond Jubilee has returned to St Katharine Docks.

Residents can now wander over the river to see the iconic Gloriana, a magnificent royal rowing barge steeped in history and tradition.

With its grand presence and regal aura, the boat stands as a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, commissioned for her Diamond Jubilee in 2012.

The Queen herself bestowed the name ‘Gloriana’ upon the vessel in memory of the name given by 16th-century poet Edmund Spenser to a character representing Queen Elizabeth I. It took just five months to create and was designed by Lord Sterling of Plaistow.

Measuring 84 feet long and propelled by a team of 18 expert oarsmen alongside two electric engines, the Gloriana is a marvel of craftsmanship and elegance.

From the flooring sourced from sweet chestnut trees on King Charles’s estate to the ornate carvings hand-finished in 23.5-carat gold leaf and fine painting, every element exudes a touch of royal splendour.

The design is a nod to Canaletto’s paintings of the 18th-century London barges.

“As the Gloriana graces the tranquil waters of St Katharine Docks once more, it serves as a symbol of unwavering reverence and admiration for the royal legacy it represents” visitors are told.

The boat will also be on display at the forthcoming Classic Boat Festival, held at St Katharine Docks on the Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 September.

City Airport expansion

By Noah Vickers

Local Democracy Reporter Sadiq Khan is ‘concerned’ by the Government’s decision to allow London City Airport to transport millions more passengers every year, his office has said.

The mayor has joined several other politicians expressing environmental concerns after it was announced last month that the Government had approved plans to increase the airport’s annual passenger cap from 6.5million to 9million per year.

Another proposal to extend the airport’s Saturday cut-off time for flights from 12:30 to 18:30 was rejected by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

A Government spokesperson said: “We are committed to securing the long-term future of the aviation sector in the UK while protecting our environmental obligations.”

He died in hospital on the evening of Saturday, August 24, with his family by his side.

Rakeem Miles has been remanded in custody and is due to appear at Inner London Crown Court on Friday, September 20.

Sam’s family added: “Our family will never be the same and we’ll always miss him, but we take great comfort knowing he’s now at home with his beloved Jesus and Father in heaven. We look forward to seeing him there. We ask that the press respects our request

for privacy as we grieve as a family.”

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Paul Atwell, said: “This was a horrific and tragic incident which has resulted in a young man losing his life.

Our specialist family liaison officers are providing support to Sam’s family.

Please can I ask that their privacy is respected at this incredibly difficult time.”

300 new homes off Old Kent Road in latest phase

By Isabel Ramirez

the next phase in a redevelopment plan could see nearly 300 new homes built off Old Kent Road, and a new primary school building.

The planning submission for Phase Two of the redevelopment of the Tustin Estate in Peckham has been submitted.

Planned in four phases, the whole scheme includes 250 replacement council homes and shared equity properties for returning leaseholders, 220 additional council homes for social rent and keyworker homes, along with 220 homes for sale.

In addition, it will feature a central park, refurbishment of existing council homes, at least 1,800 sqm of commercial floorspace and a replacement building for Pilgrims Way Primary School.

This latest phase delivers 295 homes at the east of the Estate.

A mixture of maisonettes, and one, two and three-bedroom flats across four buildings provide 151 affordable homes and 144 private tenure homes. Taking inspiration from the history of the estate two of the buildings, flanking the Tustin Common Park area, are proposed in green and light grey brick.

For the others, a combination of red and pink brick references the industrial past of the area and defines the Ilderton Road character area.

The 167 homes which make up Phase

The entire scheme will include 250 replacement council homes, another 220 additional council homes for social rent and keyworker homes, and 220 for sale One are currently on site, with completion expected next year. The whole project is planned to be done in 2030.

Following on from Phase One, it will continue renewing and upgrading the estate’s public spaces. Developers claim the core objective for Phase Two is to produce a quality building design to complement Phase One and continue the creation of a vibrant communityfocused redevelopment, whilst ensuring an efficient buildable design.

Since planning permission for the outline masterplan and Phase One was granted, Bouygues UK has been appointed as Development Partners with Southwark Council and will be both contractor and developer for all phases.

The dRMM-led design team, which includes architectural collaborators McCloy + Muchemwa, Landscape Architects Exterior Architecture, Structural Engineers Shockledge, and Sustainability Consultants XC02 have worked closely with the local community.

London Bermondsey Travelodge is the Company’s 82nd hotel in London

By Herbie Russell a neW Travelodge has opened in Bermondsey - the chain’s 82nd London hotel.

is a fifteen-minute walk from Tower Bridge and The Shard.

The hotelier’s 82nd London offering has 73 rooms and a restaurant serving food to guests and visitors all day.

Travelodge said the hotel uses sustainable features including LED lighting throughout, roof-fitted solar cells and air source heat pumps.

Steve Bennett, Chief Property and Development Officer, Travelodge, said: “We are delighted to announce that our 82nd London hotel has officially opened and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

“With its new premium design and great location, I have no doubt that London Bermondsey Travelodge will be a strong addition to the area.

place he can get it is France. The cost is £100,000.

Bill, a lifelong Millwall fan, said he found Oscar’s story online and felt they could help him.

This isn’t the first time the pair have put the historic rivalry aside for a good cause.

In 2018, they helped to raise over £27,000 for a three-year-old West Ham fan, Isla Caton who was battling neuroblastoma at the time.

Isla sadly passed away in 2022, but hundreds of thousands have been raised in her memory for other kids fighting the same battle.

Bill told the News: “Last time it just helped raise so much awareness and publicity, we thought we could do it again for him.

“Wearing a West Ham shirt is a big decision for any Millwall supporter.”

But he admitted: “We only really hate each other when we play, which is hardly ever.”

Lifelong Lions fan, Nick, who runs the number one Millwall supporters’ podcast said he’s happy to take on the challenge, despite having to wear a different kit.

“For a cause like this, it’s well worth it,” he said.

The 63-year-old added: “I’m going to have to go to Sports Direct and buy another one as I got rid of the first one.”

The walk is on Sunday 14 October and will start at the Den and end at the West Ham Stadium. They deliberately chose a weekend of international break for football so there was ‘no excuse’ for as many fans as possible to get involved from both sides.

Meet the homeowners ‘scraping by’ due to £5,000 service charge bills amid heating system trouble

By Robert Firth

Local Democracy Reporter Peckham homeowners trapped on an ‘inefficient’ council heating system have spoken indepth about their sky-high service charge bills

We previously reported that Consort Estate residents were being charged for double the energy usage that Ofgem recommends.

Residents have now told the Local Democracy Reporting Service that they are “barely scraping by” due to service charge bills rising to nearly £5,000.

The leaseholders on two Southwark Council-owned estates in Peckham, South London are among 17,000 households across the borough who receive their energy through a district heat network, where a communal boiler supplies heating and hot water to multiple properties.

Southwark Council insists district heating is cheaper and more efficient than individual boilers in the longrun. But residents claim poorly insulated pipes transporting energy from the communal boiler to their properties are leaking heat, leaving their homes unbearably warm and pushing up their bills.

Jay Brown, 37, who lives in a threebed home around the corner on the Cossall estate with her partner, said their yearly service charge was £1,800 when she moved in in 2021. This year, the estimate was almost £5,000.

She said: “We don’t have any control.

In any other house I have lived in, you can turn the heating off. Here you can’t.

They [the council] seem to think that because we are leaseholders we can afford it, but we’re barely scraping by.”

Emily Miller, 40, who bought a twobedroom flat on Peckham’s Consort Estate in 2014, said her annual service charge bill had gone up from £1,800 a decade ago to over £4,500 this year, mainly due to a surging heating and hot water charge.

Emily Miller, a leaseholder on the Consort estate in Peckham, South London, said her service charge bill had skyrocketed in recent years.

Speaking from her living room in August, she said: “Being leaseholders, we are totally trapped in. Initially, I took it on the chin but the bills seem to have rocketed in the past few years.

“The flats are so warm as it is, we only have the heating on four times a year.

This year I had to buy a standalone air conditioning unit. It was £450 and it uses lots of electricity and the electricity isn’t covered by the service charge.”

Tom Vosper, the man responsible for district heat networks at Southwark Council, admitted to Consort Estate residents at a meeting in July that the communal boilers were using double the amount of energy than a typical individual boiler.

He blamed the high energy consumption on the age of boilers on the estate, loss of heat through the network (for example via pipes) and the lack of metres in properties, which he said meant residents didn’t have an incentive to save energy.

Despite this, Mr Vosper insisted that inefficiencies in the heating system weren’t the main thing driving leaseholders’ bill rises. He attributed the increased costs to the fact that the council is paying 450 per cent more for energy than it used to and claimed underground pipework on the estate was already well insulated.

But some leaseholders remain unconvinced with the Labourrun council’s excuses and want to be removed from the district heat network altogether. Jody Reynard, 49, who bought his two-bed flat on the Consort Estate in 2008, said the £4,000 service charge bill for this year was ‘unmanageable’.

He said: “The council admitted at the last meeting that consumption is double what it should be. We always knew we were paying for heating that we weren’t using but we went along with it.

“The charges are now completely unsustainable for me and others.

Like most people, I want to be billed correctly for the energy I’m using. I don’t want to be on the district heat network full stop.”

Lou Franklin, 38, who bought his onebedroom flat on the estate eight years ago, said his service charge had more than doubled from £1,800 to £4,800 in the time he had lived there.

He said: “If you had a boiler in your house, you could change the level as you want, but we are in the hands of the council. It does not matter if you put your heating on or not. We feel helpless and there’s no control of it.

“Why can’t people break away from the system? Why can’t somebody get a boiler in their flat and be responsible for it?”

Earlier in August, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) reported on another Peckham estate with a district heating system, where homeowners were being charged over £2,500 per year for heating and hot water.

The Consort estate in Peckham, South London. CREDIT: Facundo Arrizabalaga/MyLondon Max Templer, a homeowner on the North Peckham estate, carried out research that showed a communal boiler serving 700 homes, including his own, was using three times more gas than typical to heat properties. He has been asked by Labour politicians to present his findings to staff at the council.

A Southwark Council spokesperson said: “We know that district heating offers better value for residents longterm and offers opportunities for meeting our net zero targets for carbon reduction. In terms of maintenance, it’s also easier to achieve economies of scale on repairs.

“As we all know, however, the cost of

fuel has risen exponentially over the past years, meaning prices are very high. As we buy in advance, the more recent reduction in price is not yet reflected in bills. There are also still outstanding repairs to the boiler which need to happen. The costs should come down and the heating system offer significant savings over time.”

removal men Were ‘Welling uP’ at sight of Bermondsey mum’s mouldy home - Which ‘even Workmen can’t tackle’

Francis Bacon Court in Bermondsey

By Herbie Russell A BERMONDSEY mum says her damp and mould nightmare had removal men ‘welling up’ and is so bad that workmen scarper when they see it.

donna, 40, has spent two months sofa-surfing and staying in hotels since housing association Peabody decanted her to fix her flat’s mould problem.

The mum-of-four claims seven different contractors have visited the home but left without tackling it. one contractor repoortedly told her the job was “horrific” and “too big.”

Peabody has admitted the situation is “complex”. The housing association added that it was “in regular contact” with donna and had arranged temporary accommodation closer to home. donna, who was recently employed as a care worker, said removal men

who came to dispose of her fungusridden furniture were “welling up” at the sight of her home. “i just want someone to listen to me and find us somewhere to be settled or fix our home,” she said.

“Contractors keep saying the job is too big, so me and my kids have been moving from place to place for two months now.” donna moved into Francis Bacon Court in october 2011 and claims to have experienced damp and mould ever since. a doctor even warned Peabody that her entire family had developed a “persistent cough.” in June, the family were decanted after a leak exacerbated the black mould growth.

When removal men came, donna says they refused to store some of her furniture because it was covered in fungus.

so they have binned her marble table, sofa, five mattresses, bed frames, and storage units, she said.

“The removal man was welling up a bit. He couldn’t understand why people were made to live like this,” she said. nine weeks after being moved out, Donna says no significant work has been done to the flat.

Meanwhile, she and her family have been sleeping at hotels and family members’ houses.

Peabody said it had employed a single repairs company but a spokesperson said this company had sub-contracted the repairs to several other companies.

The housing association has previously offered her temporary accommodation in Peckham, streatham, and elephant and Castle, which she had refused because they are too far from her six-year-old son’s school.

He is autistic, and teachers at his school have written to southwark Council asking that he remains in Bermondsey because ‘any change to his route (no matter how slight) will cause disruption and dysregulation.’ a spokesperson for Peabody said: “We’re sorry for the problem in donna’s home and the time it’s taking to resolve. Unfortunately, it is a complex problem, and we are working to identify the root cause. We’re using one repairs company, and they’ve employed a specialist sub-contractor to resolve the issue.

“While this work is underway, we have arranged for the family to move to alternative accommodation closer to home, and we’re in regular contact with donna to offer her support and keep her updated. We’re also working very hard to find her an alternative permanent home in the area she needs to be.”

Archie Moore /kith and kin2024 / Australia Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2024 / Photographer: Andrea Rossetti Tate director Maria Balshaw said: “archie Moore’s kith and kin is both highly personal and political, and it offers a powerful meditation on humanity’s interconnections stretching back into deep time. sharing this great work with QAGOMA also reflects the everstronger ties between Tate and our fellow art museums in australia.”

Walworth schoolgirl, 10, publishes second book

India Jones Ayreh said she ‘can’t wait for everyone to read’ ‘India and the Moon Cheese’.

By Herbie Russell A TEN-YEAR-OLD girl is launching her second book having discovered a love of writing when she was just seven.

india Jones ayreh said she “can’t wait for everyone to read” ‘india and the Moon Cheese’.

The Walworth schoolgirl will sign copies of her self-published book at the L&Q: Lewington Centre, surrey docks, from 1pm to 5pm on saturday, september 7. india said: “i love writing and sharing my creativity with other children. i can’t wait for everyone to read my new book. i’m so excited that i’m having a book launch, it will be my first one of many to come, hopefully.”

Her latest story follows the selfpublication of her first book, ‘India Won’t go To sleep’, last year. it tells the tale of a young girl who is desperate to stay awake. When she finally falls asleep she dreams of a magical world. a family friend previously said: “Children’s books haven’t always been very representative of other races and cultures.

“You can’t believe it unless you see it.

With her book, young black girls can now see an author and a character who looks like them which will hopefully inspire them.”

council destroys mini art gallery in War on ‘anti-social Behaviour’ Camille Moreno (right) is ‘disappointed’ by its removal

peeing in it.”

She added: “We had performances, different kinds of artists, we had a free library. Some of my colleagues are heartbroken.”

“It’s unfortunate. I’d had a lot of people telling me it was a big improvement in the community and they looked forward to walking past it,” she said.

“One woman told me she could use it as an excuse to take a walk each day.”

The bus shelter was built post-war and, after falling into disuse, had become a dumping ground.

So Camille and her team restored the box and invited local creatives to display their works inside.

While she admitted sometimes people “still throw rubbish” in it, she said the community had “generally… reacted extremely positively”.

Camille said: “I know sometimes teenagers sometimes smoked joints in it. Maybe two times over the course of the winter, when it dropped below zero, I found a blanket in there.”

So the artists were “disappointed” when workmen were filmed yanking the kiosk out of the ground using a large work vehicle.

Believing Transport for London (TfL) had removed it, a member of the public submitted a Freedom of Information request to the transport authority to find out more.

TfL responded that it had no record of dismantling the kiosk. However, it said it had received a request to remove it from ‘councillors and a local MP’ following reports ‘it was attracting anti-social behaviour’.

‘It may have been removed by LB Southwark as they are the Highway Authority of Camberwell Road,’ TfL said.

Local resident Chris Morris said he had “very much enjoyed the renovation of the old bus kiosk having passed its derelict state over the years”.

“It seems crazy to just rip it out of the ground on spurious reasons of anti-social behaviour,” he added.

Southwark Council has previously come under fire for removing Camberwell’s public amenities because of anti-social behaviour concerns.

Park users and opposition politicians slammed the Labour-run authority for dismantling the table tennis tables in Camberwell Green which had become a focal point for local drinkers.

However, one local resident who spoke to the News praised the move, explaining the tables had attracted “dodgy people”.

Around the same time, a flower garden was butchered in Walworth and toilets also removed from Camberwell Green.

Kabinett artists have since created a new space inside a kiosk on Crystal Palace Parade, by the entrance to Crystal Palace Park.

‘Despite the removal of the original structure, our public and socially engaged endeavour continues in Crystal Palace,’ the artists wrote online.

A council spokesperson said: “We are big advocates for unused spaces being reworked for the benefit of the local community, as we have done at locations all across Southwark.

“It’s really important that these spaces are maintained properly so that they can be safely enjoyed and add value to their surroundings. This wasn’t the case for the bus controller’s box, which remained a hotspot for fly tipping and anti-social behaviour.

“We’d urge the artists involved to speak to our culture team about other opportunities in the borough to present work and to connect with local people.”

The ‘Restart A Heart’ (RSAH) training day on Saturday, October 5, is aimed at residents in Lewisham and Southwark.

Cassie Prins, who nearly lost her husband to a cardiac arrest, said: “I’m so pleased to hear about this initiative. Using a defibrillator (defib) is something really simple we could all learn.

“I can speak from experience as I was very nearly a widow at 42 when my husband, a fit-as-a-fiddle 43-year-old, dropped down from an undiagnosed heart condition and had a cardiac arrest.

“He was lucky enough to be at the train station where a sports coach and a buildings project manager both had some first aid training through work.

“One ran to get the nearest defibrillator. It was their CPR training that I thank for keeping him alive.”

Defibrillators are crucial in medical emergencies, particularly cardiac arrests.

When someone’s heart stops, early defibrillation within three to five minutes can boost survival rates by 50 to 70 per cent.

Unfortunately, many people lack confidence in using defibrillators.

Recent data shows that 61% of people feel unsure about using one.

Sub Officer Michael Edwards, who is organising the event, said: “With 80% of cardiac arrests happening in the home, it is vital that as many people as possible learn this lifesaving skill.

“It may be a loved one who suffers a cardiac arrest - and it’s crucial to begin CPR and defibrillation as soon as possible to help their chances of survival.”

The Better Club Games, now in its eighteenth year, is expected to attract over 700 athletes.

Walking sports like football and netball will take place at Lee Valley Tennis & Hockey Centre on Friday, September 27.

The main games take place at the Copper Box Arena on the Olympic Park on Wednesday, October 2. Swimming this year will take place in local centres.

Lewisham leisure centres, which are run by charitable social enterprise GLL, are one of the voices urging older people to apply.

Participants do not have to be leisure centre members. They simply needed to have a strong connection to the borough, such as living or working there.

Christopher Biggins said: “I’m thrilled to

be the ambassador for this year’s Better Club Games. It’s a fantastic opportunity for older people to show that age is no barrier when it comes to gumption, team spirit and having fun. I can’t wait to meet all the competitors and maybe even try my hand at a spot of ping pong!”

EXCLUSIVE

By Herbie Russell A TINY Camberwell art gallery has been destroyed by southwark Council as part of its war on ‘antisocial behaviour’.

Local artists, who converted the derelict bus kiosk into a public art space, were “heartbroken” to see workmen tearing it from the ground in July.

Southwark Council has been heavily criticised in the past for removing toilets, flowers and table tennis tables to prevent petty crime.

The local authority however insisted that the bus controller’s box was not “maintained properly” and “remained a hotspot for fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour”.

But Camille Moreno, who restored the shelter, was “disappointed” by the council’s decision - especially as it had gone untouched for the years it was used as a “giant rubbish bin”.

Camille, member of the guerilla art group Kabinett, said: “We had been featuring exhibitions in it and looking after it. People had stopped trashing and

Want to stand up for kindness over hate? Get involved - be a Councillor

Victor Chamberlain Leader of the Southwark Lib Dems

T

he recent far right riots were chilling to say the least. Years of divisive rhetoric stirring up fear and bigotry culminated in mindless vandalism and thuggery.

If you believe, like I do, that kindness wins over hatred, unity wins over division, and understanding wins over fear, then you can and should stand to be a councillor represent our diverse communities, and are fierce in their defense of the values that we share.

Southwark Liberal Democrats are currently looking for candidates to be the councillors of the future.

If you care about your local area and getting a better deal for your neighbours whilst making a greener, cleaner and safer Southwark then we want to hear from you!

We plan to put up candidates from all walks of life who will fight to improve housing, will make

but we need you to help prove it.

It can be tough, but it’s rewarding and fun too. Elections are one of the best ways for communities to demonstrate how they think things should be run, and how people should be treated. To do that they need to believe in the people they are voting for.

So I urge you, if any of this resonated with you, to please get in touch (info@southwark-libdems. org.uk) and consider standing as a councillor in the next local elections.

Southwark go greener, faster and make sure residents’ voices are better heard on things such as crime and council services.

If you believe, like I do, that kindness wins over hatred, unity wins over division, and understanding wins over fear, then you can and should stand to be a councillor.

Without you, people like Nigel Farage and his media outriders will continue to claim that Britain thinks like they do. We know they’re wrong, you know they’re wrong,

We must call it out for what it is: racist, Islamophobic violence.

But what was truly stirring was the reaction against it. In Southport, the day after the first wave of violence, the community came together in an almost too-perfect metaphor— rebuilding the broken walls. Decent, ordinary people, seeing their friends and neighbours attacked by vile rioters, stood up to make their community a better place.

Then the country braced again as rumours of further violence circulated.

Instead, little materialised, but hundreds of people still took to the street to express their solidarity

with those being victimised.

The sea of people at the antiracism march in Walthamstow demonstrated what most Londoners felt and why London is a welcoming and loving place to live.

It’s a moving reminder that despite what the media and certain politicians may like us to believe, most people in Britain are kind, caring, and tolerant.

But this is why we need more people to come forward and stand up for their communities in elections.

Luckily, in London, far-right politicians are firmly in the fringes.

This doesn’t happen by accident.

Progressive parties cannot win on their own. They need volunteers and resources, but the most important thing they need is candidates who care about their local area and making a difference.

Even a historic football rivalry is no match for a child in need

A

pair of Millwall fans have once again put a longstanding football rivalry aside in the name of charity.

Two Lions walking around their home turf in West Ham shirts is a sight many would pay to see. And now, they are.

Bill Slack and Nick Hart are lifelong Millwall supporters, but the one thing they love more than the game it seems - is doing good.

Next month they are set to walk from the Den to the Hammers ground, wearing the rival shirts. The football rivalry is one of the most long-standing in the game’s history.

The match was known as the Dockers derby, as both sets of supporters were predominantly dockers at shipyards on the River Thames. As a result, each group of fans worked for rival companies competing for the same business - which only intensified the tension between the teams.

But even that past is no match for a child in need. This time the blokes have set their sights on raising money for a 14-year-old West Ham Academy goalie, Oscar, to get lifesaving treatment after he was given just a few months to live.

Back in 2018, they took on a similar challenge for 2-year-old Isla Caton, who was born with neuroblastoma, a rare cancer. Tragically and despite the community’s efforts, little Isla died in 2022, but her legacy lives on through the charity set up in her name.

Seeing how much money and publicity they were able to raise last time, they thought they’d do the same again for young Oscar.

True Lions who are there through staunch loyalty and a love for the game will probably not be shocked by this act of kindness from two of their own. Comments like ‘that’s what it’s all about’ and ‘good on you both’ came flooding in when news broke of their plans.

But for outsiders looking in, who may have a conceived idea of what a Millwall fan is like and know how deeply ingrained the opposition is - it has likely come as a welcome surprise that anything could cause them to break character.

Well done to the boys for putting their pride aside like this. In a climate of constant division, it’s nice to know that both teams can join forces against one common enemy.

what’s on

in Southwark

A whirlwind of confusion and madness

Globe The Comedy of Errors.

The State Ballet of Georgia has put itself up there in the Top Ten of classical ballet companies with memorable choreography, beautiful dancing and breathtaking productions that overwhelm with glorious sets and costumes. Add this to Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky at the top of his game with Swan Lake and you know you are in for an unforgettable evening, writes Michael Holland.

The company has grown in stature under the artistic guidance of Nina Ananiashvili, former prima ballerina with the Bolshoi Ballet and American Ballet Theatre, and she now brings the company back to London for a very welcome return visit with a version staged by her long-term dancing partner, the renowned Alexei Fadeechev.

And what a production it is. From the very start you are drawn in to the story of the young Prince Siegfried having to choose a bride at the upcoming ball.

As night falls the autumnal hues of the park change to moonlight blue and while the prince and his friends are out hunting a flock of swans appear and change into alluring maidens as they step out of the lake. The hunters

Long ago a shipwreck separated Egeon, a merchant from Syracuse, from his wife Emilia and one of his twin sons (both of whom are named Antipholus). The sons were separated with another pair of young twins (both called Dromio - you can see where this is going).

One set of sons grew up in Syracuse whilst the other dwelt in Ephesus.

That is, until Antipholus of Syracuse sets off to find his long lost brother.

The rest of the play descends into a whirlwind of confusion and madness, driven by a series of mistaken identities.

The staging and interpretation of the comedy adhered to tradition. While this approach isn’t inherently negative, it lacked originality and there was a disconnect from the contemporary. The production was without the innovation or fresh perspective that could have made it groundbreaking.

When Swans Swam as One

are in disarray.

Odette, the Queen of the Swans, relates their sad tale of being cursed

to Siegfried, a curse that can only be broken if someone falls in love the her.

Yes, that old chestnut.

able to choose from the comely ladies she has paraded for him. The story, of course, ends happily but getting there is a series of set pieces that mesmerise.

With no words but majestic music and movement to follow the tale it is easy to forget the narrative and allow yourself to be entranced as the swans trip across the stage as one, falling and flowing with every beat that emanates from the brilliant ENO Orchestra, led wonderfully by conductor Papuna Gvaberidze. What joy.

Nino Samadashvili as Odette/Odile soaks up the adulation flowing from the audience on several occasions before moving on. Oleg Lihai as Prince Siegfried waits until the final bows for his.

Shakespeare’s Globe presents The Comedy of Errors as part of its 2024 Summer Season: ‘Feel Alive’.

Co-directors Naeem Hyatt and Sean Holmes offer a straightforward rendition of this early Shakespearean comedy, staying close to its traditional roots, writes Bella Christy.

This was especially disappointing when in comparison to last summer’s season. As You Like it, in 2023, offered a current and relevant reimagining of Shakespeare, making this year’s offering quite underwhelming.

The duo of Dromios - Dromio of Syracuse (Martin Quinn) and Dromio of Ephesus (Sam Swann) - did bring a cheeky charm to the stage. Their frustrations and exuberance eliciting laughter as they are repeatedly sent on errands and then overlooked. As well as their comedic chaos, they showcase their versatility with a surprisingly tender moment during the final act, when the twin Dromios reunite.

The relationship between Dromio and Antipholus of Syracuse was the one I found myself enjoying the most, far more than any of the romantic connections on stage. There was a natural charisma and playfulness in their dynamic.

However, I felt a general lack of pull and intrigue, I felt disengaged from the characters and not truly rooting for their success. I wanted more music and more dynamics. The audience did still seem to be charmed, the beauty of the Globe and the novelty of watching a play here is still a magical experience, but I know this iconic venue has produced better.

Needless to say, at the ball the prince has Odette on his mind while his mother despairs at her son not being

surrey romP hits BumP

Surrey’s Ben Foakes

By Jon Culley SURREY SAW their romp towards a third consecutive division one title lose a little momentum as they were forced to settle for a draw against relegation-threatened nottinghamshire in the Vitality County Championship at Trent Bridge last weekend.

On a day when their teenage off-spinner Farhan Ahmed’s ten-wicket match haul claimed a 159-year-old record set by no less a cricketing legend than W G Grace, the home side, who had been set a target of 298 to win from a minimum 48 overs when Surrey declared at 177-9 in their second innings, were 121 without loss when the sides shook hands on a draw at 5pm, openers Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater having each made half-centuries.

The result means that Surrey’s lead of 35 points at the start of this round of matches, after winning seven of their previous eight matches, is cut to 24 thanks to Somerset’s victory over Durham at Taunton.

At the other end of the table, after Warwickshire and Worcestershire both won, the points taken for the draw - a merit worthy achievement after trailing by 120 on first innings - leaves Nottinghamshire ten points ahead of Lancashire in the battle to avoid being relegated alongside Kent. All sides have three matches to come.

Rory Burns made 71 to go with his firstinnings 161 with Liam Patterson-White finishing with 5-94 before the declaration came, but the Nottinghamshire left-arm spinner’s achievement was again upstaged by his young team-mate Ahmed, with whom he shared all 53 overs of the Surrey second innings.

Already in the record books on his Championship debut as the youngest player to bag five wickets or more in a firstclass match in Britain, he achieved another mark of distinction, arguably even more prestigious, when he claimed Jordan Clark as his tenth wicket of the match.

This enabled him to replace Grace as the youngest to take ten or more wickets in a first-class match in Britain - in fact anywhere other than in South Asia.

could find a way through.

Earlier, Surrey had advanced from 13-1 overnight to 104-4 by lunch, playing in light for that period so gloomy that bowling spin was the only option for Nottinghamshire skipper Hameed.

A second-wicket stand worth 57 was broken by Patterson-White, who induced a miscue to short midwicket by Ryan Patel, following up by turning one sharply to bowl Will Jacks three balls later.

Patterson-White had Burns dropped at square leg on 39, after which the Surrey captain’s stop-start dithering over a single

into the offside off Ahmed saw new partner Ben Foakes run out by Hameed’s throw to ‘keeper Kyle Verreynne.

As the tempo increased after lunch, with Surrey now chasing runs for the declaration, Ahmed completed his ten for the match by bowling Burns and having Clark caught behind in a botched scoop attempt.

Patterson-White raised his five for the innings by having Sai Sudharsan caught at deep midwicket and bowling Conor McKerr and Tom Lawes, for his pains getting clubbed for two meaty sixes by Dan Worrall before Burns signalled the declaration.

“There were moments that could have made a difference to the outcome,” Surrey head coach Gareth Batty said. “[Sunday] morning, if we had been able to put together a longer, deeper partnership we might have been able to force the pace a bit earlier.

“From a bowling point of view, we possibly were a bit impatient at times.

We could have strung more balls together in good areas to create more pressure, and not just from the ball that zips past the outside edge. The sustained pressure was going to be the difference between winning and drawing a game of cricket and we missed a few points there.

“We were happy with declaring when we did. We felt that if we were going to bowl them out it would have been within around 50 overs but we had to bowl well and we didn’t quite get going as we wanted, but there was no way we were going to give them any sort of a chance to win.

“The surface and the Kookaburra ball dictated the pace of the game and unfortunately that pace meant it petered out as a draw. It was a good pitch, a bit on the slow side, and the spinners came into the game, but the speed of the Kookaburra ball reacting made it hard to force dismissals but also to force runs.

“I have no problem with what the use of the Kookaburra is trying to achieve but I just don’t like [what it means for] the integrity of the league over 14 games with different balls. It is very strange, like playing a round of Premier League games next week with no offside rule.”

of 70.14. Dulwich were all out for 271 with 2.4 overs of the innings unused, thereby leaving their opponents with a much more attainable target than had seemed likely.

Jacob Emler, playing only his third match of the season, opened the bowling and took the first wicket with his fourth legitimate ball. This brought in Aamir Raza, who took full advantage of the powerplay fielding restrictions to unleash an extraordinary assault in which he raced to 50 off just 23 balls.

He had reached 64 off 28, out of a stand of 78 in 8.2 overs for the second wicket, when he fell to Felix WatsonSmyth, who had opened from the other end and had largely escaped the carnage. Tight spells by Kaif Ramzan, who bowled well without any luck, and Ahmed Khan, who took two wickets in successive overs to make it 143-4, pegged them back. But Raza had put his side so far ahead of the asking rate that they were able to proceed steadily without taking many risks.

Watson-Smyth picked up the fifth wicket with the score on 181 in the

34th over. Emler, who had gone for 38 off three overs under Raza’s onslaught, came back to bowl another six overs in which he took two for 33. He took the sixth wicket with the score on 212 after 40.1 overs, but Alfie Gardner and Ryan Cummins then put on 50 for the seventh wicket. Watson-Smyth had Gardner lbw for 58, off 73 balls, with the score on 262 off the last ball of the 48th over. Emler took his third wicket off the last ball of the 49th to make it 269-8, but a Cummins boundary off the second ball of the last over saw Beddington home. Watson-Smyth finished with 3-43 off ten overs, Emler had 3-71 off nine, and Khan 2-36 off ten.

Dulwich are thus guaranteed to finish in second place, and still have an outside chance of overhauling Spencer should they slip up this weekend against Valley End. Dulwich’s own last game is at home to Old Hamptonians, who are currently seventh but would be relegated if they lose and the two teams immediately below them both win.

Defending champs see lead cut as Trent Bridge teen claims record Grace returned the extraordinary match figures of 13-84 - on his first-class debut for Gentlemen of the South against Players of the South at the Oval in June 1865, at the age of 16 years 340 days.

With a match analysis of 10-247 at the age of 16 years and 192 days, Ahmed lowers the record by 148 days. He bowled a staggering 76.4 overs in the match, which may be a record in itself for a debut appearance.

Surrey, who had missed out on a fourth first-innings batting point that seemed theirs for the taking, arguably made

another mistake when they declared just shy of an hour after lunch.

The timing meant Nottinghamshire would have to score at more than six runs per over to win the contest on a pitch that had yielded at barely three-and-a-half all game, with the Kookaburra ball reportedly hard to get away on a slow surface.

Surrey were banking on England offspinner Will Jacks, who had matched Ahmed by taking seven first-innings wickets, and leg-spinner Cam Steel to exploit the fourth-day pitch but Hameed and Slater were rarely troubled as neither

By John Lewis dULWiCH gained the two bonus points they needed to secure their promotion from division 1 of the aJ sports surrey Championship at Beddington last weekend.

The two sides played out a fluctuating thriller which ended in a two-wicket victory for Beddington in the last over.

Dulwich were put in to bat, but there was no early breakthrough as James Schofield and Harrison Perry put on 61 in 11.1 overs for the first wicket.

Schofield’s dismissal, for 25 off 34 balls, was quickly followed by that of Chris Purshouse. Skipper Ollie Steele then joined Perry in a stand of 49 for the third wicket before Perry fell for 59, off 66 balls. This was his second fifty of the season, with the first one also having come against these opponents. Apoorv Wankhade then joined Steele in a partnership which

oWls feel the Burn New striker off the mark as Lions see off Wednesday THE EFL CHAMPIONSHIP Millwall - 3 Coburn 58’, Watmore 71’, Cooper 88’ Sheffield W - 0

Josh Coburn fires home

tapped in by Coburn from six yards.

Lukas Jensen got down low to make a good save from substitute Josh Windass, his first real stop of the game.

But things became a lot easier for the hosts when they doubled their advantage in the 71st minute as the visitors made a complete hash of Bryan’s corner, gifting Watmore the simplest of finishes.

And the perfect afternoon was completed two minutes from fulltime when more abysmal Sheffield Wednesday defending was punished by Cooper’s headed close-range finish from Casper De Norre’s cross.

This result was thoroughly deserved and the ideal response to that tame cup exit to Orient.

“We made individual errors in the first two games and we’ve cut them out and picked up four points accordingly,” Harris said.

“We’re now up and running. We looked like a proper Championship football team that has a structure and an identity.

“There was a desire to keep a clean sheet. We scored three goals and, let’s be honest, it could have been five or six.

“Josh has set his bar very high for performances but I wanted to bring him to the club because I know his attributes.

He’s an outstanding player.

“He gave us the platform and the belief to build off today.”

Next up are Luton at The Den in a fortnight here after the international break.

By Paul Green at the Den JosH CoBURn enjoyed the perfect debut by scoring the first goal in Millwall’s 3-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.

The striker only joined the Lions on loan from Middlesbrough on Friday but was perfectly placed to tap his new club in front just before the hour.

Duncan Watmore continued his impressive scoring start to the new season by adding a second in the 71st minute before Jake Cooper wrapped things up late on to secure a first Championship success of the season for Neil Harris’ side.

Coburn was the Lions’ sole change to the starting XI from the previous weekend’s 0-0 draw at Hull and replaced Tom Bradshaw, who sustained a longterm hamstring injury in the Carabao Cup defeat to Leyton Orient.

Among the substitutes were loan additions Ryan Wintle and Calum Scanlon, with fellow recent signings Femi Azeez and Daniel Kelly also on the bench.

Both sides had chances to break the deadlock before the break.

Japhet Tanganga did well to get a block on Anthony Musaba’s effort, while Joe Bryan saw an early effort fly off target.

Romain Esse went close with a shot before a George Honeyman free-kick was met by Tanganga’s head and then flicked over by Coburn as Millwall began to ask questions of the visitors.

Coburn found himself through on goal but Wednesday stopped him in his tracks, only for the ball to fall at the feet

of Esse, whose follow-up attempt won a corner from which he glanced a header over.

Cooper made an excellent challenge on Jamal Lowe in the box, while Coburn was inches away from getting his head on the end of an inviting Ryan Leonard delivery.

George Saville headed wide from a corner and then Leonard saw a shot go behind and ruffle the back of the net after rebounding off an advertising hoarding

as the hosts continued to press in search of the opener.

Tanganga picked up a yellow card for a foul on Djeidi Gassama, with Barry Bannan’s free-kick into the area well dealt with by Cooper.

Bryan then saw an ambitious long range shot fly well off target as the opening half finished goalless.

Saville and Leonard both made good challenges on the lively Anthony Musaba

after the restart before a Bannan 25-yard free-kick went just wide.

Tanganga’s attempt at the other end was never going to trouble Owls keeper James Beadle, who was alert moments later to deny Watmore.

But there was nothing he could do to prevent the Lions finally breaking the deadlock on 58 minutes.

Honeyman played in Watmore, whose low ball across the face of goal was

Millwall: 4-2-3-1 – Jensen; Leonard, Cooper, Tanganga, Bryan, Saville, De Norre; Esse (Azeez 85’), Honeyman (Emakhu 90’), Watmore (Wintle 85’); Coburn (Langstaff 78’).

Wednesday: 4-2-3-1: Beadle; Valery, Ihiekwe, Bernard, M Lowe; Bannan, Charles (Ingelsson, 83’); Gassama (Kobacki , 62’), J Lowe (Windass , 62’), Musaba (Valentín, 83’); Ugbo (Smith, 62’).

‘i don’t have a say’ - harris reacts to Zian eXit Zian Flemming scored 23 goals in two seasons in SE16

By Paul Green neiL HaRRis admitted it was “difficult” to see Zian Flemming leave for Burnley on transfer deadline day.

The Dutchman made the move north just before the window closed, initially on loan but the Lions are guaranteed a healthy return on the player they signed from Fortuna Sittard just two years ago once the deal becomes permanent next summer.

Millwall signed Flemming for £1.7million and will receive more than £7million for the 26-year-old.

Flemming had yet to kick a ball for the Lions this season due to injury,

although Harris had hinted after the Leyton Orient EFL Cup defeat that he was close to returning to face Sheffield Wednesday.

Instead, Flemming was at Turf Moor to see Burnley’s lunchtime 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers, with Harris left to explain after Millwall’s 3-0 demolition of the Owls how the move had materialised.

New centre-forward Josh Coburn scored the first goal against Wednesday.

Another deadline day striker recruit, Mihailo Ivanovic, 19, was unveiled before the game but won’t be available to play for two months as he recovers from a broken toe.

The SE16 manager said: “We’ve sold Zian Flemming for a healthy profit.

“I have to accept that as head coach. That is the model that we are creating.

“It was difficult for me as a manager.

“I don’t want to lose my most influential attacking player on the last day with no one to replace him with, other than Mihailo who has come in and he is going to be missing for eight weeks.”

Harris added: “The bid came in late.

“They made a very good offer to the football club and the club decided to sell.

“I don’t have a say in matters like that.”

Boss sees moro and sads in neW Boy

Josh Coburn and Neil Harris Inset: Chopper and Steve Morison (bandaged)

neiL HaRRis said Josh Coburn was a cross between his former team-mates steve Morison and Richard sadlier after the on-loan Middlesbrough striker’s scoring debut in saturday’s 3-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday.

Harris praised Coburn for his work-rate and his shift paid off as he put Millwall in front on 58 minutes.

Duncan Watmore and Jake Cooper added two more goal for an ultimately comfortable win, the Lions’ first of the campaign in the Championship.

Harris played with Sadlier in the late 1990s and early 2000s and the forwards won the old Second Division (third tier) title in 2001.

Harris and Morison were the strike partnership when Millwall won the League One play-off final in 2010. Harris

then signed Morison in the summer of 2015 and they again won promotion to the Championship as a manager-player combination in 2017.

Coburn, 21, joined the Lions on loan for the season on deadline day.

Harris paid Coburn one of the highest compliments a Millwall forward can get after his performance.

Harris said: “He’s killed himself, hasn’t he?

“People are going to expect him to be that good every week.

“The reason I wanted him was because I played with Steve Morison and Richard Sadler.

“For me he’s a cross between the two.

“There’s a lot of praise there, two top players and I don’t want to put too much pressure on Josh’s shoulders, but it shows how important he’s going to be to us as a group over the coming season. He gives

The Lions boss had earlier said following the midweek EFL Cup defeat to Orient that the young Dubliner could well be on his way to a temporary move to elsewhere.

And it very nearly happened on transfer deadline day according to Harris when he was asked how close the attacker was to sealing a loan switch.

“Very,” replied the manager.

“We talked openly about Aidomo last Tuesday evening, about a development plan.

“I want players to be happy, I care about my players. I talk about my players because that’s the camaraderie I want to build with my players.

“Aidomo is a player I hope has a bright future. We really enjoy working with him.

“He was close to a loan, but it didn’t materialise in the end, right at the end.

“So he comes back to us and works with us. We are really look forward to helping him develop.” that focal point.”

The boss added: “The first thing he did was press the goalkeeper and forced him to kick it out of play early on and the fans went with him. He linked the play, he won a header and he just got better and better.

“I thought his combination play with George Honeyman was excellent and it really enabled Duncan Watmore and Roman Esse to give us some real flair and quality with the ball.”

Harris promised after the tame midweek loss to Orient there would be a response and he certainly got one from his regular XI having made wholesale changes in the EFL Cup. “Tuesday was tough. I picked a team that I didn’t want to pick but thought I had to,” Harris said.

“I didn’t get too excited or too low or anything like that. I knew once we got Josh Coburn in we would have a different

identity.

“I said after Leyton Orient I didn’t recognise my team, I didn’t see a Millwall identity on the pitch - well today I did.

“That’s the importance of having a number nine that you can play up to and get around.

“Tom Bradshaw has done that so effectively for a long time for us.

“Ultimately I thought Josh gave everyone belief and confidence and the reaction of the players was nothing to do with Tuesday for me.

“Tuesday was irrelevant, it was never a cup we were going to win anyway and a cup we’ve never done well in.

“It was about the last three league games - we felt robbed that we didn’t have more points. “[Saturday] was about putting that right and I felt we had the all-round performance.”

Forward starts paying back loan

By John Kelly KeVin nisBeT scored a 98th-minute winner to beat Ross County 1-0 last weekend and maintain aberdeen’s 100 per cent start to the scottish Premiership season.

Nisbet, on loan at Jimmy Thelin’s side from Millwall, slotted into the bottom-left corner from twelve yards for his first goal since he scored in the Lions’ 3-2 defeat at Leicester City in the Championship last December.

Aberdeen have won all nine of their games this season, four in the league and five in the Scottish League Cup. Nisbet, 27, came on in the 35th minute for the injured Jamie McGrath.

Ross County had to chance to take the lead bu Ronan Hale’s penalty was brilliantly saved by Dimitar Mitov.

Nisbet fell out of favour at Millwall after

joining from Hibernian in the summer of 2023. Aberdeen signed him after selling striker Bojan Miovski to Spanish La Liga side Girona for a club record transfer fee that could be worth £6.5million.

Thelin acknowledged Nisbet’s work off the ball as well as his clinical touch in front of goal.

“It is good for Kevin to arrive at a new club and get a goal so early,” Thelin said.

“He should be happy with that.

“Kevin has pushed hard in the training sessions and also helped to defend against Ross County.

“He took on a lot of responsibility to pick up second balls and was vocal on the pitch, so I’m pleased with that.

“For the goal Kevin was in the right place at the right time.

“Shayden [Morris] got a good ball into the box but you have to be there, and Kevin was.”

Mihailo Ivanovic at The Den last weekend

The Serbian striker completed a late deadline day move to The Den for over £2.5million.

But he was facing up to two months on the sidelines, a situation manager Neil Harris accepted wasn’t ideal following the longterm injury suffered by Tom Bradshaw.

Harris said: “Mihailo is a young player. He has been called into the Serbian squad.

“I think everyone needs to know he is not going to be available for

eight weeks due to injury, which is obviously tough for us.

“But we know that so we have to deal with, so the [availability] of Josh [Coburn] and Macaulay Langstaff – because Tom Bradshaw is going to be out for ten weeks – is important to us.

“Mihailo is a young player that fits into the mould of what the club want to do – sign young players to develop and sell.

“I’m delighted to have Josh.

Mihailo we look forward to working with longer term - but he is a longer-term project.”

Meanwhile, Ivanovic was flying back to Serbia the day after the game with important business - to deliver Millwall shirts to new Lions fans, his dad, brother and friends.

SURREY ROMP HITS BUMP

de norre: ‘Zian Will Be missed’ Pair are close friends and travelled together with goalkeeper Connal Trueman to training

Casper De Norre, right, and Zian Flemming last season Inset - The former team-mates at St Joseph’s Primary School in Southwark last year as part of the ‘Reading Partners’ programme

EXCLUSIVE By alex Grace CasPeR de noRRe has acknowledged that the departure of Zian Flemming represents a significant loss for Millwall - as he revealed how close the pair are off the pitch.

Dutchman Flemming left the club on transfer deadline day, securing a seasonlong loan move to Burnley, which will become a permanent £7million-plus transfer next summer.

Reflecting on Flemming’s exit, Belgian De Norre spoke highly of his former teammate.

“He’s a very good player, a good friend of mine. We live in the same apartment building, we speak the same language, he’s a good team-mate and a good character in the group, so it will be a loss for us,” De Norre told our paper.

“He’s a big presence on the pitch and

off the pitch, so to lose someone like that is obviously going to have an impact. But, I also feel with the new guys coming in, we have covered his loss to a degree.

“I think we will be ready with the squad we have for the first part of the season.”

De Norre admitted: “Zian will be a miss on and off the pitch.”

De Norre has kept in touch with Flemming since his move to the Clarets.

“Me, Zian, and Connal [Trueman], we have a car school,” De Norre said.

“We drove every day to training. In our WhatsApp group we talked about how everything went and how he is doing. I think he is looking for an apartment there.

Things are going well for him now.”

When asked whether Flemming’s departure came as a surprise, De Norre admitted that they had anticipated it

might happen.

“When we drove back on Friday after training, we knew it could be done,” De Norre said. “He wasn’t sure if he would travel to Burnley at that point, but in case he did, we said goodbye.

“I think we will see each other again in the next couple of weeks as he has to come and move his stuff out of his apartment.

Hopefully we can see him again then.”

Millwall had a busy deadline day. As Flemming was on his way to Turf Moor for a medical, the Lions were putting the final touches on their record purchase of striker Mihailo Ivanovic from Vojvodina in Serbia.

Both those deals were officially confirmed after the 11pm deadline, following the arrival of Josh Coburn earlier on Friday.

“I didn’t stay up to watch it all,” De Norre said. “In the group chat with Zian, we got updates about his situation as it all happened in the last few hours. Josh was already here training. I think Mihailo came late, but we already knew that he would come. I didn’t specifically stay up.”

Striker was long-term Chopper target

By John Kelly MiLLWaLL Boss neil Harris revealed Josh Coburn had been on his radar since the striker’s time on loan at Bristol Rovers in 2022-23.

The Lions signed Coburn, 21, on deadline day and he scored on his debut 24 hours later, tapping in the first as Millwall beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at The Den. Coburn made his Middlesbrough debut in 2021 and a year later went on loan to the Gas, where he scored ten goals in 27 League One starts.

Coburn scored five goals in 25 appearances last season for Boro and one goal in four games this season before his move to SE16.

“He’s everything you’d want in a No.9,” Harris said. “I saw Josh a couple of years ago. He played for Bristol Rovers at the end of lockdown. I was Cardiff manager at the time and he was outstanding.

“He was such a threat. You could play up to him, he could physically beat defenders up, in the nicest possible sense. He could run forward and what really impressed me was he knew how to score a goal.

“That’s why we’ve chased him all summer. It’s so important that we have an identity as a football club and the best Millwall teams have had a No.9 leading the line that’s effective in different ways.

“Josh will bring so much to us as a team, as Richard Sadlier did, as Paul Moody did, as Steve Morison did for so long. He’ll bring the best out of so many players around him. He’s such a key signing for the football club.”
