Apparently Boris Johnson and Carrie Johnson don’t want you to know about a certain news story that briefly appeared and then vanished online. It must really annoy them each time each crops up on social media. Which story? This one.
Hello @TheGNShow - on @BBCNewsnight just now they spoke to the gene-spliced offspring of Graham Norton and George Clooney, goes by the name Luis Garicano…
@DCMS @CommonsDCMS @NadineDorries Why no mention of the overwhelming success of British Theatre at the Tonys? Profoundly disappointing - but not at all surprised, unfortunately. As reported by @WhatsOnStage : https://t.co/77h4ESadrJ
Welcome to the @DCMS, @NadineDorries. You’ve got the chance to make the UK the safest place in the world to go online.
The @NSPCC are calling for the #OnlineSafetyBill to be stronger to keep children safe from abuse online. Help end the #WildWestWeb: https://t.co/WD94r5VAYi
@KaiKaiOwen Never had, never will; would NEVER believe this story if I'd heard it anyway. Anyone who knows you knows your dedication, commitment and passion for your craft - matched by your enthusiasm for physical and emotional well-being. All best with all you do.

Noel Coward insisted actors learn lines before rehearsals. Peter Brook's damascus moment was realising you shouldn't map out a production before rehearsals. These recommendations will take rehearsals back to the 1930s.
That moment when you randomly switch on @BBCCasualty for the first time in years - and there’s @GethinAlderman with a finger pulse monitor and a head injury. Blimey!
So if Keir Starmer is to be called Captain Hindsight by Boris (despite his points not being based on hindsight), what can we call the PM?
General Incompetence?
Major Blunder?

We know this will not solve every problem facing our culture sector, and that more support is needed. But I hope this £10m will be a lifeline for theatres - and also send a signal of how important we believe arts and culture are, not just to our economy, but to our wellbeing too.
If you love theatre do this and get you Mum and dad and aunties and uncles and your friends to do this too. It’s easy and it could make a big difference. Do it now.
I’m one of the artistic team. This week I was told I’ll likely be made redundant. I asked what the prospects were for me being rehired in any capacity further down the line. The response was that any new hires would be unlikely, possibly for up to two years. 1/?
