The TrawlThe TrawlA Week of Idiocy: Trump Strikes Again - How Dumb Can One President Be?This episode begins with a tribute to Virginia Giuffre who sadly died this week. Marina and Jemma touch on what she suffered at the hands of various abusers and talk about how she took on some of the world's most powerful men. The Trawl ladies consider how much bravery that would have required and let Emily Maitlis have the final word. And then to America we go for this week's Trump digest: a digest which could cause indigestion. The main theme of this ep is 'how stupid is he?' Falling asleep at the Pope's funeral with h...2025-04-3041 minThe TrawlThe TrawlLeaks, Lies & Lawsuits: Hegseth Spills, Trump Fumbles & Harvard Strikes BackThings kick-off with an aptly updated version of Green Day's song 'American Idiot' which they performed at Coachella last week before a sassy, direct and frankly refreshing take on the state of affairs in the US from news channel, MSNBC. BBC take note...Then fetch the sick-bags as the ladies share with you a montage of obnoxious obsequiousness from Trump's cabinet who couldn't be further up his bottom. Strangely, not one of them thought to query their dear leader on the plummeting stock market and dollar, nor the mounting trade war with China which has now reached...2025-04-2536 minThe TrawlThe TrawlGender, Justice and the Pope's Last AmenThe ladies open with a tale of rising from the dead... No, not Jesus Christ, but Jemma Forte when she overdid it at Marina's house last week. Conversation quickly turns to Pope Francis' passing and the reminder that often until someone dies, we don't quite realise the incredible impact they made on the people around them. And as many mourned, others memed... Jemma and Marina discuss the best reactions to Trump becoming our new pope and the awkward timing of JD Vance's encounter with Pope Francis the day before his passing. Never has the phrase 'lost the w...2025-04-2347 minThe TrawlThe TrawlBritish (Chinese) Steel and El Salvadoran Jails - a shocking moment caught on micThis episode begins with Jemma trying to find things to cheer Marina up with. Funnily enough, learning that Gove is getting a peerage doesn't do it, but the song Dame Andrea Jenkins has chosen to promote her bid to be Mayor nearly does. Then we're off to Scunthorpe where Labour have been trying to ensure that the furnaces don't go out for once and for all on British Steel. China have decided they aren't interested in it anymore, which is a huge reason to be furious with Boris Johnson (another one) because he sold it to them. W...2025-04-1833 minThe TrawlThe TrawlTa Ra Tariff Free World: What is Trump Thinking? And, is Trump Thinking?The second Trawl in one week centred on the economic recklessness of Trump. But hey, when one guy's wiped nine trillion off global markets, there's a lot to unpack. There are theories as to why the Donald has chosen this path, some deeper than others. Jemma and Marina have clips to illustrate the first two and bleeps to cover up the third, which, to be fair, probably carries more weight. Do we want chlorinated chicken here? Some folk are fine with the notion, despite the reduced welfare standards and prospect of upset, American tums. Others not so m...2025-04-1148 minUnblock\'dUnblock'dCrypto Valley Pioneer Ralf Glabischnig on Building Global Blockchain EcosystemsDr. Jemma Green speaks with Ralf Glabischnig, the visionary entrepreneur who helped establish Switzerland's Crypto Valley and Dubai's Crypto Oasis.

Should any attack be planned on a group chat? And even if so, perhaps inviting in a journalist wasn't the cleverest thing to do. Though given said chat is strewn with emojis and demonstrates no care for the loss of life they're planning to inflict, perhaps clever would be pushing it in the first place. Still, Trump has way more important thing t...2025-03-2639 minThe TrawlThe TrawlUK Stagnates, Labour Irritates and Marina gets Irate...Jemma is fresh off a flight back from her holiday for this episode, so what better way to get her back to into the swing of things than to discuss Reform's dodgy new appointment, who once said Hitler was "brilliant" and described Bashar al-Assad as "gentle by nature". He sounds just wonderful. Next, a moment of commiseration as Jemma and Marina describe how the UK can no longer be considered a rich country due to collapsing living standards for the poorest 40%. Do you know what would come in really handy here? A Govt that gave a toss a...2025-03-2236 minThe TrawlThe TrawlTesla Tackiness and Trump Turns Up the DialWhile Jemma suns herself on holiday, Marina has taken charge of the running order, so you're in for a Trumptastic ride...Starting with the latest in totally unnecessary trade wars. Not only do the Americans have Trump to deal with, they now have the prospect of even more expensive booze thanks to retaliatory tariffs on The EU. Trump has reassured them however, that they'll be able to drink US made Champagne...

First they're agreeing with Dan Hodges from The Mail, then Trump is confusing transgenic mice with transgender mice. Furthermore, upon being told his error, rather than burying himself under a duvet so he can hide due to abject mortification, he's doubling down. Still, it's not like this person is in charge of the US or anything. Oh.......The latest Trump week from hell has been a biggie, he's making another bid for Greenland, apropos of just...wanting it. He's really getting on Canada's nerves and more...2025-03-1454 minThe TrawlThe TrawlLabour's Cruel Benefit Cuts and Reform ImplodeThe sun has had it's hat on, in the UK. Marina is not in the UK. She's still on holiday, where it's cloudy. What are the chances? Somehow, Jemma has managed to find a Cilla clip that draws a comparison to the situation. Marina takes it well and, Trawl trooper that she is, she's packed her mic so she and Jemma can trawl through what on earth is going on at Reform UK.Despite being able to count the number of MP's they have on one hand, there's serious trouble at mill and a very public spat...2025-03-1233 minThe TrawlThe TrawlUkraine, UK, U OK USA?The Trawl ladies begin by paying tribute to Hollywood legend, Gene Hackman who has passed away. Morgan Freeman spoke powerfully about him at The Oscar's and then Jemma and Marina select their other highlight from The Academy Awards which was the emotional moment when No Other Land won Best Documentary Feature. The film which you can see on Channel 4 is about life under occupation in the West Bank and was made by an Israeli and Palestine collective. Hearing from a Palestinian man and then an Israeli who are united in their sense of injustice is a powerful moment. 2025-03-0741 minUnblock\'dUnblock'dDecentralised Data Ownership & Historic Preservation: Brittany Kaiser on DAOs, Blockchain & InnovationDecentralized Data Ownership & Historic Preservation: Brittany Kaiser on DAOs, Blockchain & InnovationIn this episode, Dr. Jemma Green is joined (for part 2 of the conversation) by Brittany Kaiser, a pioneering lawyer and entrepreneur making waves in data ownership and blockchain. Brittany shares her insights on the future of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), digital entities that operate on blockchain technology, allowing for decentralized decision-making and community-driven governance. She also discusses her groundbreaking work in historic preservation, using blockchain technology to create new opportunities for the preservation of historic estates and landmarks. From her work on DAOs to her advocacy...2025-03-0624 minThe TrawlThe TrawlStarmer Steps Up. The White House Punches DownWhat a time to be alive. The news cycle is insane. Even people who normally don't talk about politics, are talking about politics - cue Susannah Constantine. In this episode Jemma and Marina revisit the various scenes from The Oval Office starting, of course, with Starmer's audience with the giant human wotsit that is Trump. Marina and Jemma both agreed that whilst it was faintly nauseating to watch the PM handing over a letter from the King, it was also a diplomatic coup and very cleverly played. It's fair to say Starmer's stock is up. Comedian, Michael Spicer, has...2025-03-0541 minThe TrawlThe TrawlThe Trawl Meets - Ashley James: Meeting porn star Bonnie Blue, body image and feminismJemma and Marina have both followed Ashley on Instagram (where she has a gigantic following) for a while now so were delighted to discover that she listens to The Trawl regularly. Ashley is the political commentator on This Morning, a vocal feminist and passionate about sharing just as much 'reality' on Insta as she does glamour. With all that in mind, Marina and Jemma were fascinated to talk about her stint at GB News, the time she interviewed porn star Bonnie Blue and to find out why she cites Ann Widdecombe as an influence. Body parts, politics a...2025-02-2845 minThe TrawlThe TrawlTruss, Stormzy, and the Dark Side of SelloutsJemma and Marina are concerned for any Trawlers who may have been left unsettled after their recent chat about Stormzy's controversial McDonald's deal so they are delighted to read a statement on the matter. Though it is written by Michael Spicer so tongues should be placed firmly in cheeks. There is an over view of some terrible behaviour from various MP's and then we're off to CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) or beep, beep, beep and beep as Marina aptly renames it! It shouldn't be funny, but it is. The Trawl ladies discuss the spectacle of...2025-02-2646 minThe TrawlThe TrawlVance insults Europe and who deserves a BAFTAJust occasionally, social media can deliver something really heart warming and Jemma and Marina were moved by the fact that Jamie Theakston's listeners at Heart FM cared enough to make him see a doctor when they noticed his voice had changed. As a result he received a cancer diagnosis and fortunately now has been given the all clear. His words are really worth listening to. And the BAFTA for best presenter goes to.....David Tennant for making not one, not two but three Trump jokes during his monologue at the start of the BAFTAS, though only one m...2025-02-2032 minThe TrawlThe TrawlSuperbowl, Kanye West goes Tonto and The Trawl's Version of Valentine'sLove, positivity, drama, scandal, horror, and chaos, it's all in the air during this episode of The Trawl. Marina has a theory. She suspects that Jemma had a lot of stuff bookmarked that wasn't appropriate for normal Trawls so has decided to do a Valentine's ep so she can sandwich it in. She might be right...The Trawl ladies kick off with some reasons to be cheerful and reminders that whilst it might not feel like given the political hellscape, the world is full of wonderful people. Not just power hungry billionaires and authoritarian leaders. It's a ti...2025-02-1441 minI Am WellI Am WellWellness Wednesdays - The Real Impact of Supplements on Your HealthIn this eye-opening episode of the I Am Well Podcast, host Jemma delves into the world of supplements, uncovering the truths and myths surrounding their promises.

January. They have classical music in common but a clip from comedian Michael Spicer causes them to wonder, is The Trawl the equivalent to Classic FM? Then, they can't put if off any longer, it's time to find out what the newly inaugurated President has been up to and man, he's been busy. Busy making hellish statements about Gaza, busy deporting people, busy making cuts to cancer research, and busy dismissing government watchdogs and hiring cronies. Th...2025-01-3141 minThe TrawlThe TrawlAre Labour Now Tories? And Prince Harry Takes On MurdochJemma opens with some imaginings of a world far different from the one we inhabit now, where Trump is deposed, Putin is departed and David Attenborough leads the way, before swiftly moving on to the stark reality of our times...And yes, the world has indeed gone mad, so the first clip of this episode is a pure dose of sense and humanity, which just so happens to come from a 14 year old named Zach.Then into the Labour government we go, and the reviews are far from five stars. Jemma and Marina discuss the p...2025-01-2937 minI Am WellI Am WellWellness Wednesdays - Why Blood Sugar Matters More Than Calories?In this episode of the I Am Well podcast, host Jemma dives deep into the transformative power of blood sugar management over traditional calorie counting.

Like a bad stench that won't go away, except now it's gone from foul, to putrid and dangerous. Jemma and Marina wade through the inauguration fall out, including an interesting case of f*ck around and find out. They discuss The Village People anthem performed during Trump's big day, which feels like an interesting choice for the MAGA bigots, then it's onto Melania's hat choice (genius move) and the peep show triggered by the garment worn by the partner of Jeff Bezos, or indeed lack of garment. Like flies to sh*t, the UK...2025-01-2444 minThe TrawlThe TrawlGaza Ceasefire, Trump 'Saves' TikTok and Donald’s Dodgy Crypto CoinsMarina and Jemma are finding January 'interesting.' Certainly 'Dry Janning' is beyond them. Trump's been inaugurated for goodness sake and there's a lot of batshittery to Trawl through before they can even begin on that! In this one the Trawl ladies kick off by discussing the 'temporary' ceasefire in Gaza. There's a clip of actor, Guy Pearce, whose response encapsulates the underwhelm they're experiencing given the killing seems to have continued. It's also horrendous to witness Trump and Biden using the announcement as a political football, to unpick Starmer's reaction, to see Netanyahu using language which s...2025-01-2347 minThe TrawlThe TrawlThe Trawl Meets UB40 - Anarchy, family fallouts and politicsJemma and Marina were thrilled when two of the original members of UB40 agreed to come on The Trawl Meets. After all, the group are one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, having sold more records than Oasis, over 100 million to be precise. Of course they are almost as known for their political leanings as they are for their wonderful music so it's a match made in Trawl heaven.Even the band’s name is famously a reference to the unemployment benefit form, each had signed having left school without a job,  so it was...2025-01-2254 minThe TrawlThe TrawlBye Bye Truth, Hello Oligarchy - Plus the Latest Labour Lows...Everyone's favourite economy crasher is back on the scene... And she doesn't much like it when you call her that. Yes, Liz Truss is back and this time she's had a cease and desist letter issued to Keir Starmer over the 'defamatory' claim that she 'crashed the economy''. Ok hun.But litigious letters are likely the least of Starmer's worries after what was a monstrous week for Labour. Jemma and Marina discuss the breaking news regrading former Labour minister, Ivor Caplin who appeared to have been caught by a vigilante group on his way to meet a...2025-01-1741 minThe TrawlThe TrawlCalifornia Burning - On Such A Winter's Day...Climate change reminded us it doesn't care one jot where you live or how much money you have last week.Marina and Jemma discuss the apocalyptic scenes from LA as fires tore through the region, with some personal experiences that Jemma has permission to share from her friends caught up in the catastrophe. They discuss the perfect storm that led to this and how the fires were not unexpected - in fact, you know who definitely expected the fires? Insurance companies - with many LA residents now being left without a thing b...2025-01-1533 minThe TrawlThe TrawlImmigrant Visas: The first sticking point for Trump-Musk bromance?Over the Christmas period, Marina went down a rabbit hole she found completely fascinating. She was vaguely worried Jemma wouldn’t feel the same but she need not have worried. This ep begins with a bit of ‘January’ comedy and ends with potential WW3. Cool! But the meat in this strange sandwich, centres around US H-1B Visas which sounds horrifically dull. Only, when you look into what they are, who supports them, who doesn’t and why, it all suddenly becomes fascinating. Promise! Partly because the topic has also led to Trump doing a complete a...2025-01-1038 minThe TrawlThe TrawlMusk and Farage Divorce - but who gets Lee Anderson?The Trawl is back! Jemma and Marina are thrilled to be back behind their mics but could not have predicted the kind of fallout and controversy they'd be back with. A certain tech bro, out of control billionaire, has been firing off tweets suggesting, amongst other things, that the US should exert economic pressure on the UK to get far-right agitator Tommy Robinson out of prison and that King Charles should dissolve Parliament, while crossing so many lines there aren't any lines left to cross. At the heart of his rantings is a very serious an...2025-01-0843 minThe TrawlThe TrawlListener's ChoiceThe Trawl ladies are getting ready to get back to business. Their thumbs and brains have had a good rest from scrolling and the internet is getting ready for more politics based content. So this is the last 'special' episode before it's back to regular Trawling and Jemma and Marina are enormously grateful to everyone who sent in questions for them to answer and/or put in 'requests.' Find out how Marina and Jemma met, what their biggest regret in life is and who they would shag, marry or snog in a nightmarish version of that game. ...2025-01-0344 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 207: Lee’s monthly Somme, Twitter BEEF and SyriaYou can tell everyone at Trawl HQ (Jemma, Marina and editor Max) are sliding towards Christmas because the atmosphere is tinged with faint hysteria. It's not just Gregg Wallace who is turning the air blue, Nigella's at it, even Prue Leith is at it! Who'd have thought baking could sound so filthy?Then, reasons to be cheerful, ranging from Rees Mogg having his show cancelled, Johnson's Australian book tour having to be cancelled due to 'unforeseen circumstances' (AKA no one coming) and last, but definitely not least, and certainly more important, the fall of the brutal Assad...2024-12-1332 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 205: Greggggg Wallace's PR Disaster and the Assisted Dying BillJemma has been eager to get behind the mic for this one. Being a middle class woman of a 'certain' age has nothing to do with it, honest guv. On that note, the Trawl ladies aren't entirely sure what 'that' certain age is but there's so much to mull over they might never get an answer to thatBut there's more to ponder besides Gregg, so they kick off discussing the resignation of Labour's Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh. Haigh was mugged many years ago and said her work phone was one of the items stolen, only said p...2024-12-0638 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 202: Petition gate on normal island...Have we all lost our minds? It appears so as the news this week was dominated by a petition, seemingly signed by bells and bots, demanding Keir Starmer call a general election - a mere 4 months since the last one. Jemma is inevitably quite grumpy about the whole silly affair and so opens the pod with a good moan from an equally grumpy Hugh Grant. Jemma and Marina discuss the laughable double standards of those demanding the election and ponder the loss of Will. Remember him? Will of the people who is now gone and fo...2024-11-2735 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 201: Bluesky Xodus, and Dodgy CV'sMelvin Odoom has pledged his love to Carol Vorderman from the Australian rainforest so Jemma and Marina leap at the chance to kick off the episode with something sweet. The sweet quickly turns sour though when the Trawl ladies check in to see who Trump has appointed Education Secretary. Hold onto your hats, he might just have excelled himself. Then, it's time for Marina and Jemma to pay tribute to the late, great, John Prescott and the clip they've chosen for you provokes a lot of thought from Jemma. In fact she wok...2024-11-2238 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 200: Farmer Fury and Unlikely HeroesIt's the two hundredth Trawl! Jemma and Marina can hardly believe it and both recommend a couple of vintage eps to celebrate, as does editor Max. Then, it's over to the States to see what health recommendations RFK Jr. is making. Hopefully they'll be less effective than the ones he made in Samoa where there was a huge outbreak of measles and subsequent deaths as a result of his vaccine scaremongering. Then, along with hundreds of tractors, irate farmers and a smattering of Brexity types, to Westminster we go where the farming com...2024-11-2037 minUnblock\'dUnblock'dUnlocking the Potential of Tech: The Reality of Blockchain and AI | (Part 2) featuring Amanda TerryIn this episode of 'Unlocking the Potential of Tech', Dr. Jemma Green is joined for part 2 of the conversation with Amanda Terry from MetaGood.

The one and only, Rosie Holt.Jemma and Marina talk to the award-winning satirist about her journey into comedy and the twist of fate that saw her become an overnight sensation. There's talk and clips of her alter ego, Harriet Langley-Swindon, who bears an uncanny likeness to a certain Julia Hartley-Brewer and discuss how her comedy has changed now it's Tories out and L...2024-11-1337 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 198: THE TRUMP TRAWLIt was always going to be a long episode, because let's face facts... You can't cover the dawn of a new fascism in half an hour.Jemma and Marina get straight into it - and there's absolutely no shying away from the fact that not only did Trump win, but he won 'bigly'. The Trawl ladies share their experience of the election night, and how a party which started out hopeful and jubilant ended up being anything but. There's a period of reflection on how so many could get the result so w...2024-11-0855 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 195: Budget Beef and Scary News DropIt's Halloween week and the prospect of Trump getting in is certainly spooking Jemma and Marina. The floods in Spain are pretty damn terrifying too, as is the news from other parts of the world, including of course, the situation in the Middle East. However, the Trawl ladies are not ones for sticking their hands in the sand or their fingers in their ears though are still able to laugh about a few things, including what Jemma is reminded of every time she hears the words 'carbon capture.' Of course there is plenty of budget chat, w...2024-11-0145 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 194: Trump's racist rally and Tommy Tosspot gets prison timeIt's tough consuming the news at the moment, which is why positive news stories should be celebrated - like Tommy Robinson being sentenced to 18 months in prison. Wahey!But all is not so joyous over in The US, in fact, it's pretty terrifying following Trump's latest rally in Madison Square Garden which included a speech so grotesque, that it convinced Ricky Martin and JLo to publicly endorse the opposition, and could cost the Trump campaign dearly. Jemma and Marina discuss what it is that billionaires like Musk are searching for and how o...2024-10-3041 minUnblock\'dUnblock'dUnlocking the Potential of Tech: The Reality of Blockchain and AI | In conversation with Amanda TerryIn this episode, our host interviews Amanda Terry, a dynamic investor and entrepreneur, about her dual roles and how they complement each other. The conversation begins with Amanda's introduction to blockchain and crypto through her collaborations with Bill Tai, and their collective efforts in ocean conservation via NFTs. Amanda elaborates on the innovative use of NFTs for social causes, exemplified by the Hanu Kitty NFT auction in 2018, which supported turtle conservation efforts. They delve into the advantages of decentralized currencies and the efficiency benefits of reducing intermediaries in transactions. The discussion shifts to ordinals on Bitcoin, explaining how they...2024-10-3021 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 192: Johnson’s Book and Trump’s New Gig - Would you like lies with that?Johnson has been busy promoting his latest tome so the Trawl ladies thought they’d give you an update on how it’s doing. Then, Jemma and Marina are astounded by the flagrant voter manipulation which is occurring in the States. There’s a clip you’ll hardly believe. Brexit certainly wasn’t the only moment where ‘Dividing and Conquering’ was the MO. People are also divided when it comes to seeing Trump donning an apron to work in Macdonalds. On a personal note, Jemma is feeling sad about a tree. Is the pointless des...2024-10-2340 minThe TrawlThe TrawlThe Trawl Meets: Rosie JonesJemma and Marina are thrilled to learn that comedian and writer, Rosie Jones has been a Trawler from the beginning! They discuss who her comedy heroes are, how she started in the business and why she’s finally left Twitter. With 150K followers on Instagram, Rosie has legions of fans who adore her outspoken, warm brand of humour but that doesn’t stop the trolls abusing her and attacking her for being disabled. Rosie opens up about how that feels, how she’s trying her best to represent 24% of the population and what she’s doing to encourag...2024-10-1854 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 190: His name was Shaban Ahmed. What is the world doing?This is not your regular Trawl. Jemma and Marina have been consumed by the horrors unfolding in Gaza, and felt compelled to talk it through. They discuss that horrifying flame-engulfed image that emerged after a hospital tent in Gaza was bombed by Israel - an image that may well become the defining image for this indelible stain in the story of humanity. His name was Shaban Ahmed Al-Dalu, and like the thousands and thousands of other innocent men, women and children caught up in this barbaric conflict, he deserved to live. 2024-10-1539 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 188: Hurricane Milton, Sue Gray and Chagos FuryThe episode begins with some heart wrenching clips. Firstly we hear a weather report from a presenter who is audibly horrified by what he's having to tell people and then from a lady who is beyond angry that Ron DeSantis is choosing to politicise the disaster and appeals to her fellow Floridians.Then, the reviews are in! Unleashed by Boris Johnson is being flogged on every platform he can get on (which is all of them sadly) but, despite him repeating the book title ad infinitum, all Marina and Jemma are interested in is his disgusting confession...2024-10-0939 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 186: Tory Conference Clangers, Fishy Jenrick and Duffield DepartsThis Trawl begins with a tribute to the late, great Dame Maggie Smith. Then, Marina and Jemma discuss two prominent political figures who have decided their parties aren't for them after all. Labour's Rosie Duffield has become an independent (which raises questions in itself) and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi has left the conservative party, which means she can be more forthright than before which she certainly is about Jenrick. Then it's off to Tory Party Conference where the mood is surprisingly buoyant given their recent thumping.

We thought we were done with dodgy donor activity, but there are question marks over Keir Starmer's wife, Victoria being in receipt of some dresses from a very well-to-do Labour donor. Jemma and Marina discuss the terrible optics and nuance around the matter, while agreeing wholeheartedly that Tories coming out to try and claim the moral high-ground can ABSOLUTELY DO ONE.The ladies move onto why we need a new system whereby our democracy isn't for sale to the highest bidder and discuss cases where one might need a new work wardrobe to be funded...2024-09-2144 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 181: The Harrowing Gisele Pelicot Case, Love and MoreThe Trawl ladies are in a romantic mood at the top of this episode. 83 year old, Nan Schiff's dating life has inspired Jemma and Marina is very much enjoying excerpts from Diane Abbott's book which details her relationship with Jeremy Corbyn. Where did they go for their first date? The cinema? For dinner?

They expected the Tories to be less chaotic over the festive period and into the new year, but alas, they got that as wrong as a Patrick Minford economy prediction.There were many uncool yule moments, and many festive bells, but in this episode Jemma and Marina explore the lowlights of a man with more...2024-01-0847 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 120: Festive Trawl - Jingle Bell Ends like Mone and Gullis Jemma and Marina invite you to The Trawl Christmas Party.

It's 'such' a coincidence and makes total sense that it's magically happened to both of them. Jemma and Marina are totally convinced - honest guv. Marina's worried about Sunak's memory too. The poor sausage can't recall anything. Jemma suggest fish oils maybe? Still, Dorries is on hand to thoroughly discredit her love, Johnson, without even realising she's doing it. In fact, in her world she's supporting him, it's quite a talent.

Cleverly has declared that unless you earn £37.5K you can't settle here with a foreigner. Having crushed millions of people's hopes and dreams and stuck a big Tory finger up to romance, there's hardly time to scream 'But what about Shirley Valentine?' before moving on to the next psychodrama. Oh yes, it's Rwanda shitshow time. The Tories are fighting like rats in a sack, determined to get the 'Rwanda Safety Bill' through and to hell with the la...2023-12-1545 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 117: Starmer Drama and Tory Trauma The Trawl schedule has gone off piste due to haywire Christmas diaries (normal practice will resume next week). And so it is that this week, Jemma and Marina find themselves trawling, just as news is breaking that Cleverly has announced a tranche of policy, supposedly designed to cut immigration figures. Their heads are spinning as they try to absorb the latest ill thought out Tory batshittery which means foreign carers won't be able to bring dependants with them (nice).

Marina didn't sleep prior to discussing the situation in the Middle East on LBC so they begin the episode with a very powerful clip on the topic. They are also aware, however, that The Trawl provides levity during such unsettling times and so it is that the rest of the episode is purposefully diverting. There is a look at Nadine Dorries' lack of digital/tech know-how, which may or may not surprise you coming from the woman who thought tennis was played on pitches. Still...2023-11-0239 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 103: Hard to Handle News and Tory Confrontation Jemma has had a set two with a Tory MP but before they get into that, Marina and Jemma talk about what's been another harrowing week in the Middle East. It's such a sensitive topic and some broadcasters and politicians are acquitting themselves better than others. What's inarguable is that the world has never needed good leadership more. On a far more optimistic note, in Poland the 'youthquake' have ensured the end of the far right populist government. Donald Tusk has won the election thanks to proportional representation.

First up, Johnny Mercer has posted a picture of his child which led to a lot of Twitter (or X) questions surrounding privacy, permission and safety. The mere mention of the Mercer's leads nicely into a chat about the fierce Carol Vorderman magazine cover in The Times last week.

In fact, the more Carol holds the government to account, the more the right-wing press sharpen their pencils. The more Carol spits facts, the more vitriol she’s exposed to on social media. In this trawl Marina and Jemma ponder why and read out some tweets which wholly champion her efforts.

Lord Cruddas is 'threatening' us with the obliteration of the Tory party if Labour bring in Proportional Representation. Jemma and Marina love the sound of that, yet Starmer won't commit (even though he said he would in 2019). Nick Ferrari is making sewage sense and Jacob Rees Mogg finally tells the truth. He admitted, publicly, that introducing voter ID was gerrymandering, which is pretty jaw dropping and taught Jemma a new word. Plus, because Marina and Jemma trawl through Twitter, they feel obliged to include their own Twitter bell-end moment.Thank yo...2023-05-1937 minThe TrawlThe TrawlEp 60: Local election carnage and more Coronation chaos...

All the while, Tory MPs, ministers and shills desperately scrambled around looking for positive spin, when alas, there was none. And from one celebration to another - the King's Coronation!
