Guardian and Telegraph have an embargoed story - front page embargoed till 1.30 am. I wonder what it is?

[cakeorwine]

Will it be a Royal story? Harry at the Coronation?

Or something about Zahawi and taxes

I sure did, and she looked lovely. I wish I had her figure, or her PT and chef at least.

Back to the stovetop for me.

Why are people going on about what Kate was wearing on a serious news thread?

Scroll back the thread to past midnight this morning, it was full on academia then.

Surprised this thread has so many comments!!

So.....was it the IMF or something more juicy?

Will keep a further eye on Twitter tonight!

I’m not doing it again tonight. In fact I’m off to bed now lol 🙈

I never suggested you were. Bit antagonististic, though.

Maybe the embargo turned into a super injunction when the clock struck midnight.

exactly what I said. Whatever it was, it's gone forever now.

If the boring finance story wasn't the embargo, then what would have happened to all the copies of The Guardian that were printed with the real embargo story?

I'm sure some here will try to convince you that mysterious elves arrived and secretly removed all the printed copies of The Guardian and The Telegraph.

They will also maintain that these mysterious elves ensured that both newspapers were replaced by copies leading with the IMF report and that it is a complete coincidence that the IMF World Economic Outlook Update report was officially released at 1:30 am GMT.

Production cut off time for The Guardian is 330am.

I'm still not getting why it was ok for the Mail to publish it.

Or why it was embargoed despite being on the IMF website?

It was obviously a different story under embargo.

There are usually three editions of The Guardian a night, with the last one going off stone at 1am.

The typical cut-off time for production is around 3:30am when the final copy is printed.

So they could have pulled it then. It must happen.

Thinking our chain was yanked last night. But some of the guesses were very entertaining 😁

But it's not a serious news thread it's speculating at length about the absence of news which in itself is news and now I'm speculating about the speculation. Are we still none the wiser as to what this was / is ?

Well... There is a household sporting name (as usual) who tried to drug his ex in the news now.

I'm not that's Guardian headlines though.

Rishi planning to cancel teacher strikes could have been though.

Well it's all kicking off (no pun intended) in regards to a household sporting name.

Rishi is making moves to stop teachers from striking.

Keep at it Rishi. I'll hand you keep digging tips.

Oh the git bags said my first post couldn't be posted...

Snuffling off.

Give us a clue on the footballer?

There was scurrilous Boris thread that lasted for a few hours before getting zapped by MNHQ. FWIW I didn't believe it.

Was that one where poster said they'd seen him cheating on Carrie?

I didn’t believe it either but I did laugh a lot at that threat before it was deemed not on the level lol

They alleged that based on a cryptic allusion on a blind gossip site. Since he is reputedly so tight with money I thought not in a hell's chance.

Never stopped him before! And he's salaried for life now, regardless of any other work he does
