Top stories in the latest issue:

BOOZE & BOOS
Hacks at the Press Awards greeted Isabel Oakeshott with silence, which was a warmer welcome than the one her Telegraph colleague Allison Pearson got.

KEIR'S NUCLEAR OPTION
Keir Starmer's efforts to court the right-wing press ahead of the general election are paying off, with exposure in the Sunday Telegraph and the Daily Mail.

BAIT & SWITCH
The Sunday Mirror revelled in the news that an MP had fallen for a sex sting – but it did not mention its own history of trapping randy Tory MPs.

BANG TO RIGHTS
Allison Pearson thinks that in future years people will "say the unimaginable: 'Liz Truss was right'". In the Telegraph it's already a regular occurrence.

KISS-OFF AND TEL
With no sale of the Telegraph in sight, the paper is pandering to various suitors, notably Paul Marshall, the biggest shareholder in GB News.

SEXTATOR NEWS

GRACE & FAVOURS
A surprising name from the foodie world was behind recent Instagram posts promoting McDonald's, and Grauniad HQ will surely have taken note.
