Year in Review part 2: The Genny Lecs, Euros reaction and Britain’s riot shame

Paper Cuts

We review 2024 so you don’t have to! Today: Britain went to the polls as Jonn reminisces on the summer of campaign cringe, shock losses and Starmer’s stonking majority. Jacob talks us through the Euros and tries to figure out how the public were so angry with England’s pretty decent tournament. Plus – We discuss the wave of riots that defined the Summer as Miranda asks the most important question: Who was your favourite looter? 

Join Miranda Sawyer with our ghost of Christmas present Jacob Hawley and certified Anti-Scrooge Jonn Elledge
