Lettuce Liz’s steamy affair exposed! – The healing power of gossip – Chefs serve up revenge to critics

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: The Daily Mail has published a salacious account of an affair between Liz Truss and some Tory bloke. If you listen closely, you can hear the rage in Natasha’s voice. Meanwhile, The Guardian has gone White Lotus crazy and has published a wonderful column on the power of gossiping, which Grainne fully endorses. Plus – Miranda has found a brilliant piece in The Times that lifts the lid on the petty ways in which chefs fight back against bad reviews.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by host of LBC’s Saturday night show Natasha Devon and BAFTA nominated comedian Gráinne Maguire.
