Description

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: A plague on his house. It’s Johnson’s turn to give evidence to the Covid Inquiry, and the Bojo Press are covering for him like crazy. Can you booze like a boomer? The i paper makes its Gen Z writer drink two whole vodka and lemonades… with catastrophic results. Plus – Winter Blunderland. The search for Britain’s most pathetic Christmas displays is GO. 

Andrew Harrison is joined by journalist Holly Thomas and comedian Fergus Craig.
