We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: The news from Israel-Hamas worsens with young Britons confirmed dead and missing, power and water supplies cut off in Gaza, and a fatal shooting in Brussels. How is the press handling this massive story? 

Plus – The Shawshank Reduction. Prisoners get their sentences cut due to overcrowding under a Tory government?? Recipe for Disaster! Banker fired over lying about… his sandwiches? In the Extra bit: Snack Attack. The horror of Walkers’ new Christmas Pudding flavoured crisps.

Andrew Harrison is joined by journalist Rob Hutton of the Critic Magazine and comedian Gráinne Maguire.
