If you don’t pay £14.95 for a year’s worth of The Wrap, then you won’t have seen Sean Clarke’s excellent roundup of today’s papers. Turns out that they just go very, very soppy whenever it gets a bit hot:

The Telegraph devotes the top half of its front page (the bit traditionally reserved for attracting readers with startling news) to an admittedly very attractive photograph of someone feeling a bit hot and splashing water on their face. It then, in common with most of its rivals, devotes most of pages 2 and 3 to further reports of astonishing incidents, including, but not limited to: child feels a bit hot and plays with hosepipe; people lucky enough to have the day off feel a bit hot and go to the beach; soldiers unlucky enough to be on guard duty feel a bit hot but have to keep their bearskins on.

[...Meanwhile, in The Sun,] a variety of attractive young women have found that when feeling a bit hot, it’s best to take some clothes off. Happily for all concerned, photographers were on hand.

Great stuff.
