Erving Goffman's legacy is everywhere visible in the social sciences, and Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz's new book shines light on the "invisible college" of his contemporaries among his close circle and further afield. The result is a fascinating account of the intellectual climate of the 1960s-1980s, and a throughly engaging read for all whose work has felt the influence of Goffman down the ages.

The Caerphilly by-election is yet another reminder that polls are not the be-all and end-all. Reform UK led in polls, but Plaid Cymru won comfortably. Broadcasters should remember polls are just one indicator of support. And when it comes time to vote, the outcome is often profoundly different.
