About This Event

Start your Sunday the right way with your host The Times Chief Political Commentator Patrick Maguire , the FT ’s Whitehall Editor Lucy Fisher , Cheltenham Literature Festival’s Head of Programming Nicola Tuxworth and The Times Literary Editor Robbie Millen as they run through the Sunday papers and pick out the stories that matter — and the ones that really don’t but make you smile anyway. From politics and Westminster gossip to culture, books, columnists, curious headlines and the small stories that somehow capture the mood of the week, here is an entertaining guide to what everyone will be talking about over Sunday lunch. Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Literature Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
