Always lovely to catch up with these ladies… We all know each other. The plot thickens Charlotte Gill

I cannot recommend The Trawl highly enough these girls Jemma Forte and Marina Purkiss are fearless when discussing the views and as a result the show is both heartfelt and hilariously funny. Listen to it and like me become an addict 🙏🏻

Imagine being so ‘patriotic’ you spend your Saturday vandalising roundabouts like Temu Banksy. NHS underfunded, schools crumbling, but don’t worry — we’ve got freshly glossed patriotism between Tesco and the A46.

Summer’s over… The kids are back at school & evidently some adults in Britain should follow suit Today on The Trawl podcast: 🇬🇧 Reform eyes up the Taliban 📺 Rylan’s GB News audition 🧠 Schrödinger’s immigrant logic Satire, clips, and chaos. Come listen on link below…

Rayner’s position was untenable. She did have to resign. But the stench of hypocrisy from the right wing rags and certain Tories is strong. Don’t remember Hunt resigning over a stamp duty loophole 🤔

Jemma Forte When you see these two stories in the same edition of the Telegraph you know something is wrong.

Dame Andrea Jenkyns sashays onto the stage in a sequin catsuit and belts out ‘Insomniac’. Cos nothing says ‘serious politics’ like peacocking through a power ballad. To be fair her sequins are brighter than the policy agenda But Jane Macdonald can rest easy

There’s no place for such frightening, senseless violence in politics. Right wing commentator Charlie Kirk was literally commenting on gun violence as he was shot. No doubt there’ll be nothing done about gun regulation, just a tonne of thoughts and prayers. How awful.

Jemma Forte explains that flags are good but we need to be aware of the rise in flags and a rise in racism; which is not good Well said Jemma Forte 👏

A free read by me on why the Gary Lineker win, followed by the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk was a lot to digest in one evening. jemmaforte.substack.com/p/two-screens-…

So ‘Your Party’ isn’t actually going to be anyone’s party… that all went well then…

Imagine prioritising a flag over another person’s safety. Shameful. This is what toxic nationalism looks like. Don't try to defend it either....

A few ppl have been asking me and Marina Purkiss if we’ve taken a break because we’re not on Global Player. The Trawl is no longer with Global. Last ep posted there was in August. So you have a load of eps to binge on Apple, Spotify or other platforms Hope you’ll find us x
