    Where’s brolly? Soggy Sunak calls a Genny Lecs – Bloomin’ Hell: inside the Chelsea Flower Show – Greatest albums list annoys everyone

    · Paper Cuts

    We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Raining Champ? Sunak is just a (very wet) boy, standing in front of a country, asking for a general election. Flower Power. The Chelsea Flower Show is here the papers love it. Plus – The “Miseducation” all right! Apple Music’s top 100 albums of all time are out and we are deeply confused.
    Miranda Sawyer is joined by political sketch writer for The Critic Rob Hutton and comedian Sikisa.
