From Ryanair this morning:-
Ryanair this morning (18th Jan) confirmed that its schedule of flights was operating normally, on-time and with no cancellations. Ryanair criticised a false rumour which emanated from one of the London investment banks shortly after 7.30am, which suggested that Ryanair’s flight schedule was subject to widespread cancellation. This rumour was untrue and could have been verified by that bank, had they made any attempt to contact the airline directly, or had they checked Ryanair’s flight information page on xxxxxxxxxxxx.com which confirmed that all Ryanair’s early morning departures from London Luton and Stansted airports had departed as normal and on-time.
Ryanair regrets that such a false and inaccurate rumour would emanate from a respected London investment bank without any attempt made to verify the facts either directly with the company or on Ryanair’s website.

All Ryanair's early morning departures from London Luton and Stansted airports had departed as normal and on-time...
This is TOTALLY untrue - several flights from both airports were cancelled this morning. Both airports reported few if any queries from passengers so presumably they were all contacted in advance by Ryanair.
No smoke without fire....
