Ep 57: Blue Ticks, Diane Abbott, Govt Alert and the Brexit Inquiry

Space Karen (AKA Elon Musk) has been busy wrecking Twitter by confusing everyone and helping no one, by removing, then reinstating ticks all over the shop. Are you who really say you are if you haven't paid him for FREE SPEECH. It used to be cool to have one, but now anyone can get one, it's cooler not to. Confused? You should be. Then, Marina and Jemma discuss the words of Diane Abbott which led to her being swiftly suspended by Keir Starmer. Plus, did you get a government alert? Jemma didn't and Marina missed hers but more importantly, what was it for? According to Russell Kane on Instagram Britain has invented the equivalent of a 'leaves on the line' alert.And then to the debate which was triggered by a petition demanding an inquiry into Brexit and it's impact. Funnily enough, the government don't seem keen!Enjoy! Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
