I think the most worrying part of this story is the last sentence of the quote on the BBC. A No 10 spokesman said Mr Cummings and Mr Warner had attended or listened in to Sage meetings in order to better understand the scientific debate around coronavirus. He said they "occasionally" asked questions or offered help when "scientists mention problems in Whitehall", adding that others "also listen to meetings without being on, or a member of, Sage". "The scientists on Sage are among the most eminent in their fields," the spokesman said. "It is factually wrong and damaging to sensible public debate to imply their advice is affected by government advisers listening to discussions." He added: "'Public confidence in the media has collapsed during this emergency partly because of ludicrous stories such as this." That is straight out of the Trump playbook.

@deebeedoobee I know the Jam and Gherkin Jars are vital to showing how dry it has been, but are you not leaving it a bit late for your infusions, although Werthers only takes 24 hours.

I think the more credible rumour is Cooper joining Lukas Nelson on The Park (Nelson colaborated on the songwriting of A Star is Born) for a few songs, and then going to the Pilton Palais to introduce or Q&A at the showing of A Star is Born.

I have a friend who is always getting lost, this will be great. He should not be difficult to spot, he has harry potter style glasses, usually wears blue jeans, a red and white horizontal striped t-shirt with matching hat, he also usually has a walking cane with him. Thanks in advance.
