Nine years ago a Twitter user was sending poetry to Sadiq Khan about London’s many cultural identities. A decade on, Reform UK’s mayoral candidate doesn’t dispute it was her old account - so what’s changed?

Well, if it’s the 122nd anniversary of the birth of Cary Grant, it must be time to tell the story of the time he went to an Alice Cooper concert and likened the experience to shitting himself

I hardly ever remember my dreams, but last night they were full of administrative inconvenience - missing coaches, forgetting to check out of a hotel, paying for coffee with a card and getting a handful of 5p pieces as 'change'. Terrifying stuff.

Found a frying steak in the freezer that clearly wasn't top of the range, so cut it into strips and ate it with tagliatelle, a swirl of olive oil and a big squeeze of lemon juice (garlic bread on the side). Since finishing dinner, I've been having a little lie down.

#Traitors Jade and Stephen really are wearing the same jeans; Claudia's task jacket is fabulous. (It suddenly occurs to me that she'd be a great replacement for Greg Davies as Taskmaster.) The logistics of getting in and out of boxes seems like a nightmare, but lord knows the Faithfuls need clues.
