Robbie has been personally visiting top bars and restaurants in London to ask them to sell her gin. She confirmed to the Guardian she is now reformulating it to remove the oyster shells 🍸🦪

Exclusive: Margot Robbie’s attempts
to hawk her gin to London’s top restaurants and bars comes a cropper.
“We don’t want to have to ask people if they are allergic to molluscs when they order a gin,” one restaurant manager told me

We’re about to record two postbag editions of the Kitchen Cabinet. We’ve got some great questions but we could always do with more for our experts. Please email them to tkc@bbc.co.uk (rather than post them here). We love a question with a juicy back story.

In today’s @ftweekend I write about the wider significance of allegations against Rene Redzepi of @nomacph. He’d set himself up as the head of a movement which portrayed high end restaurants as a social good, instead of just places feeding rich people

@jayrayner1 I was a H/T . Used a lot of excellent small suppliers, specialist music/dance/drama tutors etc. Want to keep ‘em? Pay ‘em . Same when we ran our own kitchens . The ‘smaller’ people are ? The more specialist they are . Pay them
-or lose them.

Freelancers, small businesses and so on have a statutory right under uk law to charge interest on unpaid bills. But the calculation can be complex. So my old friend the brill actress and podcaster Laura Shavin built a calculator. It’s clever.

@cymrawes I don’t employ anyone unless I have the money to pay them immediately
English
@jayrayner1 Quite right too . I suppose it’s too idealistic to expect people to pay within the usual 30 day period . I ALWAYS did . 🤷🏽♀️

@horton_official @Elephant1eye I'm a terrible man and must be told.

@jayrayner1 @Elephant1eye I like that I had a load of people defending my honour against the tyranny of Rayner

This is not "breaking", I have been watching the construction of this building from the Guardian office windows for years

BREAKING: Google DeepMind is doubling down on London and expanding into a HUGE new office in King's Cross. @demishassabis has just announced Platform 37 - a new office and hub for AI innovation next to King’s Cross station. The name is a nod to “Move 37,” a pivotal play made by AlphaGo in the legendary 2016 match against Go world champion Lee Sae Dol. They are also launching "The AI Exchange", a new public space dedicated to deepening understanding of AI. The impact Demis has had on UK tech and AI cannot be understated. It's AMAZING to see him and team double down and create a new landmark site of the London tech scene.

@horton_official @Elephant1eye I didn't realise my tweets needed to come with footnotes. Apologies.
English
@Elephant1eye @jayrayner1 I think he’s joking and that he deeply admires my work. That is what I like to think

@astortate I wouldn't want to be in a restaurant that doesn't want my whole family. Restaurants are businesses. They can make their own rules and we, in turn, can choose whether to give them our money.

@jayrayner1 what’s your take on the no children policy of some restaurants?

Delighted to say we’re bringing the JR Sextet to Liverpool’s magnificent Tung Auditorium this November. Been a while since we’ve played in the North West. Very much looking forward to it.

No review from me this week (back week after next) so instead have a shot of the delightful vanilla brioche I had at Le Cafe by Nicolas Rouzaud in the Arlington Arcade. The patisserie display demands another visit.

@cottonmouthmcr @TheCoopLive Ha ha ha. I was on stage in London. Who played with her? One of my pals has been her accompanist in the past.
English
Laufey last night at the @TheCoopLive (great staff, but...) trailing bringing our a guest pianist ('I think I need someone to play the piano so I can just sing.')
Hoping against hope it would be @jayrayner1 , but, no...Jeff Goldblum. Just not the same.

It was in fact 14 years ago. That one off event turned into what I call my side hustle which had got wildly out of control. Since then we have played hundreds and hundreds of gigs, and tomorrow we return to where it all began. Hope you can join us.

@SL_Clerk @BBCRadio4 @Visitmargate We pick the questions based on which are most interesting not who has asked them. On the night that’s just how it fell. All of them were local to the area. And if you think I’m unaware of Margate restaurants you are the one who hasn’t done any research.

Interesting location choice of Margate for today’s @Thekitchencabinet when none of the questions were from Margate and none of the panel. Next time you’re down @jayrayner1 check out #margatesfabulousrestaurants #bbctkc @BBCRadio4 @Visitmargate

Next Wednesday the JR Sextet plays at Kings place London, as part of Jewish Book Week’s 75th anniversary celebrations. Hope you can join us for what will be a great night.
