Woody Allen's Coup De Chance premiere at Venice Film Festival was hit with a group of topless protestors, who were eventually led away from the event. The group of around 15 people were captured on video chanting "no rape culture" while standing outside the Palazzo del Cinema venue. Allen's daughter, Dylan, has previously accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a child – claims he denies. The protestors were reportedly from several Italian groups, said to include feminist groups Non Una Di Meno and smaller collectives: Cso Morion, Spina Collective, Squeert Collective and Cso Pedro. It comes after the 87-year-old dismissed cancel culture as "silly" before saying there was "nothing in" the allegations put against him. When asked by an audience in Venice whether he felt that he had been cancelled he said: "I just find that all so silly. I don’t think about it. I don’t know what it means to be cancelled." Allen went on to discuss the MeToo movement, saying: "I think any movement where there’s actual benefit, where it does something positive – let’s say for women – is a good thing." He added: "It’s silly when it’s not really a feminist issue or an issue of unfairness to women. When it’s being too extreme in trying to make it into an issue when, in fact, most people would not regard it as any kind of offensive situation." The director once again denied child abuse allegations put against him. "There was nothing in it," he said. "The fact that it lingers on always makes me think that maybe people like the idea that it lingers on." When asked when he had any contact with Dylan or her brother, Allen said: "No. Always willing to, but no." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Tory MP and education secretary Gillian Keegan has become an instant meme after her hot mic outburst about what an amazing job she is allegedly doing. The incident occurred in the moments after an interview with ITV News while her microphone was still on. She was there to discuss the government’s handling of the RAAC scandal that has seen hundreds of schools close just before the start of the new term due to unsafe concrete that is prone to collapse being used in their buildings. At the end of the interview, Keegan asked the reporter: “Does anyone ever say, ‘You know what, you’ve done a f**king good job because everyone else has sat on their a**e and done nothing?’ No signs of that, no?” Despite apologising for her “off the cuff” sweary remark, Keegan has since found herself becoming a meme as people poke fun at her bigging herself up. The Trades Union Congress hilariously used the moment to encourage people to join unions if they feel underappreciated. They mocked: “Not appreciated at work? Join a union.” The Green Party also hit out at Keegan during her moment in the limelight, writing: “Just for the record, we don't think Gillian Keegan's done a ‘f***ing good job’.” A social media account run by the Labour Party also mocked Keegan’s Department for Education for its updated claim that most schools are “unaffected”. In an edited version of the department’s update, they changed the text to read: “Most beachgoers not eaten by big shark.” Keegan was forced to defend her decision to go on holiday shortly before the concern over RAAC was made public.
