Trump has announced an enquiry into how a journo got added to the secret signal group. Since Trumpy boy regards Baron as a tech genius because he switched on a laptop, I'm guessing that the results of the enquiry would be something like "Touch the 3 dots in the top corner, then when it says 'add'.."

23&Me hackers offer genetic data for sale, including profiles with markers indicating Jewish ancestry.
BBC Today prog reports this as "outing" Jewish people. "Outing"? Seriously? You are deservedly going to get so much sh*t for this.

Thank you for all of the Doctor Who comments! It was so fun to play a (small) part in such a great show and I’ve been looking forward to seeing it (and keeping quiet about it) for nearly 18 months!

Actors and musicians frequently adopt a new name, if their own doesn't fit. Even Suella Braverman didn't want the same name as the dipso sad-sack from Dallas.

Dunno, but maybe she could do something a little more effective?
