We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Tory meltdown on all fronts. Boris blows it at the COVID Inquiry while the Party starts to tear itself apart, again. Not-so-silent night. The Guardian ranks the best and worst Christmas carols and we’re perplexed. Plus – Catch that spider and peel me an orange. The Telegraph digs out the tiny acts of love that keep couples together. 

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Ava Santina of PoliticsJOE and comedian Fin Taylor.
