Ep 82: Popcorn out for Sunak, Barbie & Wootton

The episode opens with Marina reminding Jemma how she once hoped that Sunak taking over might have resulted in the adults being back in the room. Update: they're not. 

Because this week Sunak put out a tweet that proved he's just as base as 30p Lee...just wears a more expensive suit. 

Then, let the Barbie chat commence - and what a weekend it was for cinema with two huge summer releases. Joyful. Though not, it turns out, if you're in possession of a very fragile male ego. Jemma and Marina chat through some of the reactions to the movie - including a very frustrated Piers Morgan. Bless.

And, we need to talk about Dan... Dan Wootton of GB News, because let's face it - not many people are. The ladies discuss the relative media blackout compared with the scandal surrounding Philip Schofield and Huw Edwards. Plus, you'll enjoy a little mass-hypocrisy-exposing montage from GB News, before moving on to Charlotte Owen - or rather - Lady Charlotte Owen, our new Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge. Owen is the 29-year-old recipient of Johnson's peerage for services to God knows what...such is the nature of our wonderful British democracy. And it's all topped off with a Brexitey pudding from comedian Omid Djalii.
