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!

Ep 72: Johnson’s defeat, jingles & mingles and a Dorries megamix...

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 74: Clacton Spills, IKEA Chills and Glastonbury Tingles

We’re off to the seaside! But don’t get too excited - it’s for the ‘Leavers only’ edition of Question Time which will leave you bathed in bewilderment as opposed to sunshine.

And then to IKEA we go where Robot Rishi is telling everyone it’ll all be ok. Coooolll.

In fact, apparently, we all need to just ‘hold our nerve’ because that’ll pay the bills.

Marina and Jemma discuss festivals and the highlights from Glastonbury 2023. Only GB News don’t approve and somehow manage to compare it to the migrant situation. Astounding really.

Pudding is a beauty. What’s known as a spine - tingler. Enjoy!
