Ep 49: £1k fines for the homeless, £10k fees for Tory MPs

Marina and Jemma open with a mic-drop clip about Jacob Rees-Mogg.Then dip into the scandal that saw our ex-chancellor change his going rate from $10k per month to £12k per day - and we wonder why his mini-budget screwed the economy...Then it's on to the Govt's new crack-down on crime which includes the genius idea to fine beggars £1,000 for causing "public distress" while cringing violently at Sunak's attempt to sound...normal.  Meanwhile, over the pond, A-lister Gwyneth Paltrow finds herself in court facing what might be the most sycophantic line of questioning the world has ever seen.Polished off, with a delightful Rishi Sunak-flavoured pud from Munya Chawawa. Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Hosted on Acast.
