Jagger Junior joins the jet set: Mick's grandson Ray, two, is all smiles as he gets to sit in a plane cockpit 

Sir Mick Jagger's two-year-old grandson is adapting to the jet-set life with aplomb.

A beaming Ray whose mother is jewellery designer Jade, 44, daughter of Mick and activist Bianca, is pictured sitting in the cockpit of a plane en route to America.

'Come on, let's go,' Jade captioned the pic, taken as the family — including her husband Adrian Fillary — joined the Stones U.S. tour.

In July, Jade posted a snap of Ray with a microphone, sparking comparisons to his grandpa.

Veteran BBC foreign correspondent John Simpson has said that doctors feared he may have been slipped some radioactive polonium when he suffered a recent bout of food poisoning.

Puzzled by his rapid deterioration in health, they asked the 72-year-old's wife if he could have been targeted by Russian agents. Simpson told The Cheltenham Literary Festival: 'The doctors rather despaired of me, not the first people to despair of me, and asked my wife as I was lying there unconscious: 'Has he upset somebody?' There was a perception: 'Could I have upset Putin? Could somebody have come with a radioactive pill and dropped it in my tea?' '

Simpson also revealed that he has been banned by the BBC from war zones. 'I confess I have not been to Aleppo. The BBC won't let me do that sort of thing nowadays.'

Danczuk has a loo named after him 

His ex-wife constantly flaunts her cleavage online, he was dumped by a lover for sending 'sexts' to a teenager, and over the summer he revealed he was seeking counselling for his sex addiction.

Simon Danczuk, MP for Rochdale, has suffered fresh indignity

Now Simon Danczuk, MP for Rochdale, has suffered fresh indignity.

A school in Gambia has named a loo after him to highlight the pitifully small charitable donation his publisher made to them — £250 — to settle a copyright row following the publication of his Cyril Smith biography.

His book drew on the research of John Walker, who broke the story of Smith's child sex crimes 35 years ago and who solicited a charitable donation for his contribution.

'We said that if the donation were significant enough that we could ensure that a facility at one of the schools would be named after him,' says Walker, who runs an education charity in Gambia. 'Danczuk consistently refused to make a donation. Eventually, we challenged his publisher, Backbite, over copyright issues, who made a donation of £250. True to our word, we will put the money towards refurbishing a toilet block at one of the schools, and have the facility named 'The Simon Danczuk toilet'.

'It will, after all, give an appropriate meaning in Gambia to 'going for a Danczuk'.'
