We read the papers so you don’t have to! Today, Jason tries to wrap his head around the front page feud between Elon Musk and Nigel Farage. The Times says goodbye to ‘Dry January’ and hello to absinthe, but Miranda isn’t convinced. Plus – T2 has a fantastic column about hair, and Jonn reflects on his own life with a glorious bouffant.

Join Miranda Sawyer with comedy writer Jason Hazeley and journalist Jonn Elledge.
