Marvel star fired for assault – plus, Miss France in “woke hair” kerfuffle?

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Putting the villain in super villain. The papers react to Marvel star Jonathan Majors’ assault conviction and subsequent sacking by Disney/Marvel. Bad Hair Day? Miss France is won by a contestant with short hair for the first time ever and the papers are stunned. Plus – Hey big spender! Bank Monzo has the receipts for your spending this year… literally.
