We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Bye-bye Rishi? The race to be the next Tory leader has already begun, despite the ongoing election. Hairy Situation. Why breaking up with your hairdresser is worse than divorce. Plus – All dressed up with nowhere to go. A Times journalist tries Paul Mescal’s short shorts and refuses to go outside. 

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist and author Jonn Elledge and comedian and host of The Way They Were podcast Gráinne Maguire.

Come and see us LIVE at the Cheerful Earful podcast festival on 12 Oct. Tickets here.
