Chaos is part of the prime minister’s DNA. But after the unedifying farce of Partygate, even MPs who owe him their jobs are beginning to wonder what’s next, writes @ShippersUnbound thetimes.co.uk/article/boris-…
@ShippersUnbound Johnson’s cabinet colleagues are increasingly focused on the fight to succeed him. Outriders for both Sunak and Truss were sounding out colleagues last week
Priti Patel, the home secretary, is understood to be considering a run and MPs looking for a “clean skin” untainted by recent failures suggest Nadhim Zahawi, the education secretary

“There was an uproar when our show [#SATC] came on: ‘Women shouldn’t talk like that,’” @KristinDavis says proudly.

We speak to the actress about #AndJustLikeThat, ageing in Hollywood — and why she’s ‘terrible’ at casual sex. thetimes.co.uk/article/kristi…
Davis excitably recounts how Sarah Jessica Parker phoned to tell her about the ten-episode reboot and how much she had hoped for that call. “I felt like we weren’t done. I had that feeling.”
What were the emotions like being back on set? “Our first read-through of the first three [episodes] was very thrilling and very emotional. I’m going to try not to cry,” Davis says, suddenly sobbing.

✍️@venetiamenzies takes us inside the world of high-class narcotics in this confessional interview with Casper the friendly drug-dealer
thetimes.co.uk/article/confes…
Early on in Casper’s career, he realised something: if the middle classes will pay a premium for a charming waiter serving a fancy named cocktail, the same applies to illegal drugs.
Dealers like Casper have dragged the customer experience into the 21st century, with designer baggies and bespoke choices of exotic strains. This was not just cocaine; this was “Peruvian snowflake cocaine”.

On Wednesday, as the government reeled from the Allegra Stratton video, ministers began pulling out of media appearances.

Enter stage left: Matt Hancock
thetimes.co.uk/article/matt-h…
Another man, conscious that Johnson had described him as “totally f***ing hopeless” during the pandemic, might have taken revenge. Not Hancock. “What I know is that the prime minister has said no rules were broken,” he told ITV’s Good Morning Britain.
It’s been a mixed year for Hancock.

On the plus side, Google has just named him as the most searched-for British politician of 2021. On the minus, that was because of his marriage-ending, resignation-sparking clinch with his colleague and old university chum Gina Coladangelo.

Forget #Succession’s boardroom battles — what we really want to know about is the relationship between Gerri and Roman.

The actress @j_smithcameron, who plays Gerri, explains that frisson, on screen and in real life. thetimes.co.uk/article/succes…
Succession, now in its third series, shines a light on the dysfunctional lives of the super-rich. Smith-Cameron plays general counsel to Waystar Royco and now nominal CEO.
“Gerri was supposed to be played by a man, the part was spelt, J-E-R-R-I for the pilot rather than with a ‘G’. The part was first conceived to be one of the suits along with Frank and Earl — Logan’s ‘yes’ men. But Gerri has quieter, greater ambitions.”

At one point in the new series of Selling Sunset, Christine Quinn is more or less forced to go to a “mindset coach”to stop her slagging people off.

But instead of “closing the door to drama, for once and for all”, we only discover more.

thetimes.co.uk/article/sellin…
Finally it's here — series 4 of Selling Sunset. For more than a year we've been starved of the sight of extremely tall, rake-thin women strutting into extremely large, luscious houses in LA, asking each other:

“What do you call the kitchen off the main kitchen?”
Most of the best parts are brought to us by its extraordinary villain, Christine Quinn.

She is outrageously watchable — a kind of sexy, thin, diamond-encrusted emu Marilyn Manson: nearly 6ft of Texan boss bitch.
