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

Hello Paper Cuts people! If you miss our lovely show, don’t worry. We’re getting the band back together for a look at the opinion columns, monthly on The Bunker. Paper Cuts survivors Miranda Sawyer and Jonn Elledge join Andrew Harrison to choose the weirdest (and occasionally best) columns of the month… so you don’t have to. This time: Telegraph reverse-ferrets on Trump, Sarah Vine goes H.A.M. on the Beckhams, everyone tries to wring something out of The Traitors… and much more!
We’ve got a big scoop for you today! Miranda Sawyer is back with a brand new podcast. Talk ’90s to me is out now and will be with you every Monday. The show dives deep into a wild decade of chaos, creativity and hedonism – from Oasis to ‘Friends’, from grunge to girl power, from Kate Moss to alcopops to ‘Trainspotting’ and beyond. Join Miranda as she meets the people who were really there for the decade of Cool Britannia, Cantona and the Chemical Generation.

Today: We say goodbye to Paper Cuts as the Daily Star crowns Rachel Reeves the next “lettuce.” Kate Lister adopts a new philosophy over at The i, so Miranda and Gráinne are ready to embrace the “let them” theory. Finally – at The Mail, an anonymous reader is worried about his wife’s fascination with pegging – so we've brought in Jonn to offer his sage-like wisdom on the subject.
We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: The Metro lists some of the most shocking moments from kids’ TV staple Blue Peter.
