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.

Yeah, given their recent ability to contradict themselves three times in a day depending on the audience, to be an actual shift in tone, it does somewhat require being repeated in a setting beyond a conference hall filled with a disproportionate number of progressives.

Well, the conservatives at least got a mention, about 55 minutes into this speech. And for about 10 seconds.

“[Number 10] has set up the government for a months-long voluble public row over an issue that most regular voters barely care about at all. Worst still, almost everyone in Labour knows it, too – conference is full of people literally and metaphorically sinking their heads into their hands.”
The ID cards disaster is another sign that Starmer has lost it
The PM has failed to spot voters’ anti-big-government streak, enraged his own party and reunited the warring Farage and Boris Johnson

Trump is a real danger for Farage. He used to be very canny about staying within the bounds of acceptable opinion. But his refusal to allow clear blue water with Trump means he's chained to an out-of-control individual, adopting extremely unpopular policies on a whim.
Seems like a pretty good attack line to me
Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan:
"Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong.
"It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."
