Description

We read the papers so you don’t have to… Today: The blue bird’s over. Elon Musk wants to rebrand Twitter as “X”. Why? And would you trust the world’s most unpredictable billionaire with your bank details? Plus, firestorms in Rhodes and calls to cut green policies on the front pages. Will the papers make the connection? And one of our panel is taking the Ashes result very hard.
Miranda Sawyer is joined by comedian Athena Kugblenu and The Critic magazine’s parliamentary sketch writer Rob Hutton to triage the papers.
