Meet the PopCons: Liz Truss’s mad new gang – “Why King’s cancer is all about ME” says Sarah Vine – The Telegraph’s battle of the biscuits

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: All con, no pop. The new Popular Conservatives or “Popcon” group launched and it went really well, honest. The Royal We. Day Umpteen of King Charles’s cancer scare and every columnist is making it about themselves. Plus – Slam Dunk. The Telegraph nails a column about biscuits and we’re over the moon.

Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Jonn Elledge of The New Statesman and comedian Gráinne Maguire.
