Description

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Seeking asylum seekers. Sunak says 100,000 asylum cases have been sorted, but the numbers don’t add up. Zero missed calls. A Guardian journalist tries to break his phone addiction by… spending an enormous amount of time on it? Plus – Taking the Mickey. The original Steamboat Mickey Mouse is out of copyright and the papers are fascinated.
Miranda Sawyer is joined by The Bunker podcast Host Jacob Jarvis and comedian Marcus Brigstocke.
