We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Whack the “workshy” and ban kids’ mobile phones! The Conservative Party plays the old, old tunes at its Manchester conference. Ick-inducing interview with Elon Musk’s dad shows us why his son is so weird. And document it like Beckham. Netflix takes us into the odd world of David’n’Victoria. 

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Alex von Tunzelmann and comedy writer Jason Hazeley.
