Paper Cuts “Stagflation” nightmare for Reeves — Was Elvis an alien messiah? — Self care is killing our social lives
We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: The Telegraph wants us to panic about the “stagflation” crisis, but Jonn says we should just embrace the economic vibes. The Times tells us that self-care takes over 162,000 minutes a year to maintain, and Jacob simply hasn’t got the headspace for it. Plus – Miranda is fully on board with The Guardian’s theory that Elvis was an intergalactic demigod.
Miranda Sawyer is joined by the face of British plasma, comedian Jacob Hawley, and the king of the Yimbys, journalist Jonn Elledge.
