Record jail time for Just Stop Oil activists – Pret heartbreak for coffee lovers – Would you help your love rat best mate?

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Oil and trouble. Imprisoned environmental activists are plastered on the front page of The Telegraph. Wake up and smell the coffee. We mourn the end of Pret’s ‘too good to be true’ subscription in The Guardian. Plus – Dangerous liaisons. The Daily Mail shares the tale of a man who helped his best friend cheat and we are not amused. 

 

Miranda Sawyer is joined by comedian Athena Kugblenu and journalist Ava Santina.
