In this bumper episode, Jemma and Marina open with a tribute to Labour firebrand MP and actress, Glenda Jackson...and a stunned Jemma couldn't quite believe who her son is.

Then it's jingle and mingle time, as the ladies discuss THAT christmas party footage. Prawn ring, anyone?

There's a quick Hancock pit-stop given his odd rambings on Tik Tok before moving onto the vote. Yes, the vote with a 354 to 7 landlside which perhaps indicates that Johnson isn't quite as popuar as his industrial-sized ego would have him believe.

Spare a thought though for Dorries - who could maybe benefit from an intervention - and enjoy a megamix of her best/worst bits. The ladies congratulate Johnson on his brand new job: writing guff for the daily mail before crowning their repeat offender, Loooord of the Weeeeeek.

Ep 71: Johnson tears & Remainer Blob cheers...

Tory Civil wars were brewing...yet where was Rishi Sunak? Well, watching Man City win the treble apparently.

Jemma and Marina try to make sense of the outrage and indigantion of the Johnson stooges, as their main man gets forced out of Government...by himself. It seems the blob has a lot to answer for. Apparently, the blob even blocked Brexit...which is curious, given we've all been told that Johnson got that done.

Next, it's onto Grant Shapps, AKA Sebastian Fox AKA any other number of false names, as Shapps was wheeled out on Sunday to do the Sunday morning media rounds. Though perhaps the early morning start had him confused, given he appeared to forget which way he voted in the Brexit referendum.

The ladies touch upon Sunday's Laura Kuenssberg show where Laura had outdone herself not once, but twice. First by inviting Nigel Farage on to talk his usual unhinged bollocks, but secondly by calling anyone that would prefer her show to state facts rather than lies - a nerd.

Then the ladies wrap up with some Michelle Mone-favoured schadenfreude and a musical 'farewell Johnson' pudding that may just get stuck in your head...

Ep 73: Mortgage Meltdown, Lettuce Lols and Pride

Warning remote workers! According to The Daily Mail, give it a few years and you'll have claws for hands, a hunchback, and be eating out of a dog bowl, because desks at home are very different to desks at work. Or, something like that.

Then, Jemma and Marina take a minute to feel not sorry at all for Liz Truss who is not amused by her premiership being compared to the life span of a lettuce. She simply doesn't think it's funny. Which is interesting, because many of us disagree, though have also had a sense of humour failure when it comes to her short yet disastrous time spent as PM. Only our sense of humour failure is directed toward her tanking of the economy and contribution to the high inflation we're all experiencing.

Which brings us to the subject of mortgages. As 100,000 people come to the end of their fixed rates every month, could this end up being the subject that defines the next election?

Lastly, Marina and Jemma wish everyone a Happy Pride Month and wonder why some people are trying to tarnish it?

Pudding ends on a high with some lovely words from Elton John.

Enjoy!
