Amelia Gentleman couldn’t get Boris Johnson interested in the Windrush scandal She asked him about it a family party, because he’s her brother in law. She’s entitled to refer to herself as “Lady” as Jo Johnson is a “Baron” (his brother gave him the honour)

An actor has pulled out of a play because he did not want to star alongside Maureen Lipman and THIS was her response. She hasn't thought this through...at all. Oh no, he's going to be doomed to working with Oscar winners who are nice? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
