Summary

How much money is enough? That’s one of the big questions political commentators Marina Purkiss & Jemma Forte wrestle with this week, alongside discussing the Lords of the Week, who’s to blame for the crashing economy, incandescent broadcasters, and some hilarious reactions to another bleak week in British life. We also check in on Joe Lycett, Femi, Jonathan Pie, and the tweeter who’s @LizTruss. Plus Marina once again recommends the podcast “Aid Thompsin & Other Disappointments” so you best get subscribing here. Small request: If you’re enjoying Purkiss & Forte’s weekly analysis and exasperated laughter about the tweets they dredge up, please consider sending this podcast to a friend, your baffled WhatsApp group or DM it to that friend who keeps sharing political memes.
