Ep 68: Sunak's Boats and Boots, Tice and Holly

Sunak's flown to Dover (cos why catch a train when a chopper will do?) He's standing behind a podium again to tell us how he's going to stop the boats. Only his boots are distracting. Yes, boots. Not boats. And besides, it's a very windy day so there are fewer crossings but apparently, that's got nothing to do with the weather and everything to do with Tory policy. Sure.

Regardless, Richard Tice is still taking to the streets to be mean to refugees from Iraq. Jemma and Marina dissect his attempt to exploit a young man who is surviving on £8 a week while waiting to be processed by our broken Home Office. And then there's Jemma's Brexit debate with the very same Tice to discuss too...

Then there's 'that' statement from Holly Willoughby too and your tweets are wonderful as is the superb pudding which will hopefully leave you happily sated.

Enjoy!

Ep 67: Eamonn Dishes and Starmer's Brexit Stance

It's a telly-tastic Trawl because Twitter has been agog, not only at all the This Morning drama, but also the serialisation of Eamonn Holmes' revenge on GB News. Nadine Dorries has been putting her two pence worth in as well. And as for Kim Woodburn, sometimes less is more?

Then Marina and Jemma have to address the 'B' word because Starmer is being all final and absolute about 'Making Brexit Work' even though it doesn't, can't and won't.

There's a legend of the week in this episode. It's Jenny Jones the Green Peer who is singled out for being incredible in Parliament. Sadly, the same cannot be said for Mike Graham who makes a bit of a clanger in the most extraordinary clip.

There are tweets galore, clips and a pudding from The Exploding Heads. Enjoy!

Next Episode

Ep 69: Prince Harry truth bombs & wandering WhatsApps…

The royals have a new fan...and it’s Marina. Well, specifically one royal: Prince Harry. After all, how could one not be after his magnificent mike drops regarding the press and Government during the ongoing Mirror Group hacking trial.

Jemma and Marina discuss the latest developments from the Covid Inquiry, digressing somewhat to shed light on Government defender and hubris-stuffed bellend, Lord Bethell – AKA The Hustler.

Then it’s onto our repeat offender Lord of the Week, before stopping in Dover (not via an RAF chopper mind – that would be ridiculous). Enter Sunak, and the ladies discuss what Sunak has really achieved while serving in cabinet – spoiler: it ain’t stopping the boats.

The episode is rounded off with some unexpected Brexit side effects and a pudding that pokes fun at the UK’s descent into further authoritarianism as the Govt tries to overturn a vote in the House of Lords – who needs the right to protest anyway?
