Happy Monday! Fi's off sick, so Robbie Millen, literary editor of The Times and The Sunday Times, is keeping her seat warm - and he’s attempts a little poem for the privilege. Jane and Robbie chat unbroken Britain, managing younger colleagues, and Robbie shares his book picks for the week.


We've announced our next book club pick! 'Just Kids' is by Patti Smith.
