Ep 70: Dishonourable Honours, Odious Odey and Dorries.

Jemma and Marina are glad to be at their mics after what has been an explosive week in British politics. Crispin Odey has been investigated by the FT and is facing multiple allegations of sexual assault - he's the man who shorted the pound after Brexit and laughed about it. He isn't laughing now.

Boris Johnson's honours list is causing problems left, right and centre due to the fact he included three sitting MPs on it. Marina and Jemma tour through the list which reads like an episode of Friends 'The one who.....' 

Meanwhile, it's fair to say Nadine Dorries hasn't taken the news that she's' not going to be getting a peerage very well. She's touring the studios bemoaning her fate and blaming the fact she's working class and from Liverpool. Nothing to do with Johnson messing up, Honest guv. It doesn't look like many of her fellow Scousers are feeling much sympathy for her though. 

There's an incredible pudding from Politics Joe which really is the icing on the cake.

Enjoy!
