We read the papers so you don’t have to, now every Monday and Friday. Today: Elon Musk joins Donald Trump at a rally and all of the papers are cringing. Jonn tries to explain why The Daily Mail is so obsessed with Sue Gray’s employment status. The Guardian shares some rizz-free sex advice that prompts Jan to recite some of her own fiery frissons. And finally – Miranda is troubled by the nation's butler shortage as highlighted in The Telegraph. This used to be a country!

Miranda Sawyer is joined by YIMBY journalist Jonn Elledge and queen of impressions Jan Ravens.
