No, Jenrick's charity marathon chat isn't even vaguely comparable to "SignalGate", and is an unimportant mistake that is not worthy of making the news.
It undermines the seriousness of the actual signalgate.

ALT Shortly before he died, Terry Pratchett assured me that, if there is an afterlife, he would give me a ring and let me know. That was ten years ago - and still no call.
From which, incidentally, I draw no firm conclusions. What if there was an afterlife, but with no phone signal?
But of course there is one place where Terry indisputably lives on: in the pages of his books and in the minds of the millions of readers around the world who turn those pages and continue to find them funny and true.
For, while his words live on, so does Terry, and that will be the case, no question, not just for this one decade so quickly gone, but for many further decades to come.
So let me join Lyn and Rhianna in raising a glass today to the magical persistence of books and to Sir Terry; gone but still so very firmly with us.

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her.
The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.
Not sure what is happening on Twitter, but some posts I make (on completely anodyne topics) are being deleted.
I made one today asking some questions about the new tax changes, and it vanished a few minutes later.
Something weird going on with Twitter, hmm.
Carl Sagan on books
"What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years."
