• An article about the Conservative leadership contest referred to Robert Jenrick’s assertion that UK forces were “murdering rather than capturing terrorists”. The phrase he used was “killing rather than capturing” (“Kemi Badenoch is no cartoon villain. Labour underestimates her at its peril“, 13 October, p46).
• A reference to Hurricane Helene said that it “ripped through the south-west”. In fact the hurricane affected the south-east region of the US (“A week in a swing state taught me a lot about the Maga cult, and gave me hope for Harris“, 13 October, p43).
• An article (“Absence of Rodri leaves a gaping hole in Guardiola’s finely tuned machine“, 29 September, Sport, p5) said Luton were the only team Manchester City had beaten without Rodri since the first week of October 2022. That should have said until the start of this season; City kicked off this August with three wins while the Spanish midfielder was out with an injury.
• A review of the Linda Lindas’ No Obligation referred to Lucia de la Garza as being the vocalist on the album’s title track; it is in fact the group’s bassist, Eloise Wong, who leads on that song. Also we said the band were reaching the end of their teens; that is true for three members, but the fourth is 14 (13 October, New Review, p35).
