Summary

Rishi's lovin' it and Truss is ready to go nuclear... whilst Johnson is missing in action. In this week's episode Marina 'still en France' Purkiss and Jemma 'was on TalkTV' Forte scroll through 1000s of tweets, so you don't have to.In their trawl of Twitter our duo have concerns about Sunak's big little lies, share some lolz about the Boris Johnson movie (not sure Jemma's alternative title will pass the marketing dept), and there’s a bit of pudding at the end of the pod about the glamour of staying in.Plus, don’t worry, there’s also update on Marina's 'they're just as bad as each other' brother-in-law.Seen a great tweet?
