By-election spin frenzy – plus Inside “manky” Buckingham Palace
About this episode
We read the papers so you don’t have to… Today: The press frantically spin the triple by-election to suit their very specific agendas. How better to combat the cost of living crisis than a massive pay rise for the Royal Family? The Mail goes all woke-feminist and discovers the Plot to Stop Women’s Football (in the 1920s). And the truly terrible end-of-term presents that kids give their teachers.
Comedian Ria Lina and writer, historian and screenwriter Alex von Tunzelmann hoover up the headlines with Miranda Sawyer.
