Floody hell! The papers ignore Storm Babet – plus is Taylor Swift a spy novelist?

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Seriously Stormy. Storm Babet has battered the UK causing devastating flooding – yet only a few papers are taking it seriously. True Detective? The Mail reckons Taylor Swift has written a murder mystery… but we aren’t sure. Signed, Sent and Unopened! Columnists argue we should ditch the life admin and leave our emails unopened. Plus – Big Beasts. We take a deep dive into the fascinating world of large animals.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Jonn Elledge of the New Statesman and comedy writer Gráinne Maguire.
