Hero Prince drives to see sick wife – Being kind makes you miserable, says The Guardian – Shag more for Jesus, says Pope

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Royally Driven. Amazing scenes as man drives car to see his wife in hospital. Reasons to be Cheerful. The Guardian asks if you can fill your life with joy in just 7 minutes a day. (Spoiler: no).  Plus – Like A Virgin. His Horniness the Pope says sexual pleasure is a gift from God and the tabloids are shocked.

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