Episode notes

We read the papers so you dont have to, now every Monday and Friday. Today: Mums! Kemi Badenoch thinks you’re getting too much maternity dosh – and other political mentalness. Mail loon Liz Jones’s messy love life takes another bad turn and Grainne is “totally here for it.” And the Times celebrates ten years of normcore (quietly). 

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Jonn Elledge and comedian Grainne Maguire.
