First up Sally Rooney revels she planned a last- minute cut of the sex scenes in her new novel, but her editors persuaded her to keep them. Later Max Johnson, the Prime Minister’s half-brother, still hasn’t found a publisher after writing a memoir called Filth and Extinction Rebellion is encouraging its members to take a break. In SW1A Tory Michael Fabricant tells us out of respect for the Speaker he won’t be wearing his “pink shorts during PMQs”.
