Braverman restarts the Tory Civil War – plus, Is Taylor Swift really the Person of the Year?

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: The Tories are revolting. Braverman torpedoes Sunak, Immigration Minister Jenrick stages a flounce and the press is loving it. Boris in the hot seat… The former PM gives evidence to the Covid Inquiry and the papers aren’t impressed. Person Of The Year (Taylor’s Version). Taylor Swift is Time Magazine’s person of the year, but who else is in that particular Hall of Fame?

Alex von Tunzelmann is joined by journalist Jonn Elledge of the New Statesman and comedian Gráinne Maguire.
