Summary

Welcome to the grand opening of The Museum of Political Fiascos, where artefacts old and new are on display showcasing the most embarrassing moments in British politics. Matt and Patrick Maguire tour the exhibits, taking in objects like Liz Truss' jenga lectern, Boris Johnson's Brexit bus and the 'Ed Stone'.


Plus: Columnists India Knight and James Marriott discuss whether there's enough glamour in public servicestudents needing lessons in small-talk and why it's hard to buy a novel in a Foyles bookshop.
