We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: The Telegraph thinks that the Obamas might be heading for splitsville, leaving Grainne inconsolable. Ava discusses the plight of ex-Tory MPs who are struggling to find work after leaving Parliament, as reported by The Times. Plus – The Mail introduces us to Mr. O, the Hollywood "climax savant." But Miranda is skeptical of his hands-off methods.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by comedian Gráinne Maguire and journalist Ava Santina.
