Robert Jenrick becomes the latest Tory Cabinet minister to stand up at a Reform event and say the country is in an appalling state. You have no idea of the self-control required not to yell: "YOU WERE IN FKING GOVERNMENT!"

Btw I feel like this is contributing to the media totally missing the moment on this.
It’s hard to say “this is totally and utterly batshit” without looking mad yourself, and mainstream outlets (and anchors) don’t like risking that. So everyone’s treating it like just another foreign policy issue.

It will feel strange not to relay my life here, week by week, but it will also be freeing for me to write about other things

Did you happen to leave your @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk purchases on the Metropolitan line yesterday?
Did one of your friends do this and send an anguished message to the group chat?
If so, Darren has just done you a very good turn. 👇

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

I know nothing about Dr Who, but, for Londoners, the phrase "Going For Dinner With Billie Piper" is the absolute best way to remember the order of the vertical streets running east to west in Soho (Greek, Frith, Dean, Wardour, Berwick, Poland) and has saved many a late night out

I don't think enough people talk about how great BBC Bitesize is. Secondary school textbooks are now vanishingly rare and Bitesize content is (a) not in a terrible app, (b) engaging and interesting and easy to understand, and importantly (c) FREE. A properly great digital public good.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.
