Paper Cuts

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: The ladies not for binning. The Daily Mail is outraged that Starmer ditched a portrait of Thatcher from No. 10. Fur coat, no knickers. The Times profiles another middle class swinger. Plus – Dog days are over! The Star has found boffins who claim they can speak to man’s best friend.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by stand-up comedian Jacob Hawley and journalist Jonn Elledge.
