134: Order of the Thistle and Other Mad Plots

Jemma and Marina pay tribute to Theresa May who will be standing down at the next election. If by pay tribute you mean, remembering what she was known for re Windrush, the Hostile Environment and Brexit, amongst other 'hits.' And then it's back to the big political news of the week. Lee Anderson is off to Reform. Getting suspended and then being offered a lot of money had nothing to do with it. He just wants his country 'back' apparently. The ladies wonder what it is he wants it back from....There's a lot to talk about when it comes to the press conference, plus what it means for The Tories. Nadine Dorries thinks Johnson is the answer, but then she always thinks that Marina and Jemma discuss whether or not the the chances of his return are anything more than pure fantasy. And then it's on to Kate Gate, that photo, and some of the tweets surrounding it. In other Royal news, Edward has been awarded the Order of The Thistle. It's safe to say Marina probably isn't going to be booked as a Royal correspondent any time soon given that she's not entirely sure which one Edward is. She also can't stop laughing at the Order Jemma has decided she should be awarded. Lots of incredible Under Rated Tweets finish this episode off. Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcastPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there’s a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it’s your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.
