• Tom Shakespeare, whose first novel has just been published, was misquoted in an interview when referring to short people within his family; among them he included his son-in-law, not a “daughter-in-law” as we said (Academic and writer Tom Shakespeare decided to ‘reclaim the humour’ to deal with his disability, 31 March, Magazine, p44).
• An article (Tax changes force owners of second homes to run for exit, 31 March, p53) said “no English council has followed the example of Wales and increased council tax on second homes”. To clarify: a number of councils in England have voted to introduce such premiums but, under recent legislation that enabled them to do so, the earliest those increases can take effect is April 2025.
• In commending an essay by René Walter, a column referred to it being in “her” Substack magazine, Good Internet. That should have been “his” magazine (What I’m reading, 31 March, New Review, p25).
