We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Misinformation pushed the riots after the Southport atrocity and the Mail has just noticed. Is it the Russians? Plus: Why the Great British Stag Do is a horrible nightmare that we* should all swerve. And: You and I we’re gonna live forever… by putting our brains in deep-freeze? (* blokes)

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Coco Khan and comedian Jacob Hawley.
