The culture minister, Ed Vaizey, was in a cryptic mood last night when he spoke to media types at an Editorial Intelligence creative industries conference at Channel 4's London HQ. "As part of a living example of the networked nation we now live in, I'd like to say to [the Channel 4 News technology correspondent] Benjamin Cohen that I hope that his ceiling is now okay," said Vaizey, to blank faces all around. "That miserable day he had when the ceiling fell in and everything else – I just hope that things are back on track with your flat as I'm an avid follower of yours on Twitter," he added. Vaizey also revealed that he's after a grilling by Mumsnet, which appears to be a rite of passage for those in the Westminster stratosphere. He's yet to hear back from the famously forthright forum. Ed – let's hope the roof doesn't fall in on you, eh?
