It’s a Gas Gas Ga$! Energy profits outrage – plus football’s Desert Rats

We read the papers so you don’t have to… Today: Rage and disbelief as British Gas rakes in record profits of £969m from cash-strapped customers. Sinéad O’Connor was a saint, say papers who treated her as a madwoman when she was alive. Footballers bin principles to take Saudi cash. And will more sex stop you getting cancer?

Miranda Sawyer is joined by stand-up comic Fin Taylor and Marie le Conte of the New Statesman (and everywhere else) to battle the ravening newsbeast.
