Rory Stewart April Fool

Ant and Dec invented cryptocurrency, Stack fans rejoice, an Angel of the South, and Boris Johnson quits. Surely not?

Marble Arch mound to be rebuilt at Hadrian's Wall The controversial Marble Arch mound in London will be rebuilt on the site of Hadrian's Wall, the Mirror said. "It is an honour to have been asked by the PM to serve as Director of Communications for No10 Downing Street," Mr Stewart posted "I am looking forward to working with the PM, Ministers and Members of Parliament on the issues that matter most to our country."

"We'll be announcing flights to the likes of Caldifornia and The Middle Aisle of Wight," Aldi replied to one follower. It wouldn't be April Fools' Day without something to do with the Angel of the North. Southerners have been consistently jealous of the once mocked landmark in Gateshead since we realised we actually liked it, perhaps encouraging Kent Live to tell its readers there is a plan to build an 'Angel of the South'. Not content with referencing just one Northern landmark, our colleagues in Kent tried to convince readers the "Angel of the South" will be a giant white horse. But politics is so all over the place that it does kind of sound believable, and a few of Mr Stewart's Twitter followers appeared to fall for the trick. The first jokes to land came from Australia. In Sydney, April Fool's day starts 10 hours before it does in the UK. Among the pranks is a thoroughly believable one that will tear the heart of soap fans. And in the week that the first 20 fines were announced for alleged Downing Street and Whitehall lockdown parties, the satirists at Have I got News for You went for the money load. This year, they attempted to convince fans they have launched a Newcastle themed cryptocurrency, Toon Coin. They even claimed they began developing it in the 1990s, but had to take a step back when PJ and Duncan released their album. Businesses in the North East have joined the fun too, including a Tynemouth pub which poked a bit of fun at Stack, the shipping container unit set to close next month. Eternal pranksters Ant and Dec have - of course - been among the fun, with a Geordie-themed scheme that turned a few heads this morning. Around the world, April Fools' jokers have been pulling pranks and telling tall tales, due to the annual tradition.
