Thames Bank was there to shake her hand. However, when it began to wobble, it was not his fault, but the engineers’. So it should come as no surprise that the architect of the Walkie Talkie, the concave City of London office building which burnt a Jaguar through the reflection of the sun on its windows, chooses to blame someone else for the design error. “One of the problems that happens in this town is the super-abundance of consultants and sub-consultants that dilute the responsibility of the designers until you don’t know where you are,” complains Rafael Viñoly, who is from Uruguay. “In this country [Britain], there’s a specialist to tell you if something reflects. It’s the fault of the architectural discipline which has cast itself into a completely secondary thing.”

Ed in comeback

There is only one Miliband for Krishnan Guru-Murthy. The Channel 4 newsreader sent viewers an email on Thursday with the headline: “Has David Miliband been tough enough on Syria” He added: “We will also be debating Ed Miliband’s leadership of the Labour Party.”

A few minutes later, he sent a second email, which said: “Ooops, technical issues in the newsroom mean our uncorrected first draft of Snowmail may have already hit your inbox. We obviously didn’t mean David Miliband in our headline, but Ed. Apologies.” Guru-Murthy’s brother, Ravi, gave up his job in the Department of Energy to take up a highly paid position as a “political strategist” with David Miliband at a charity in New York.
