Summary

This week’s edition of The Trawl spans from Matt Hancock’s appearance on I’m A Celeb, to people on Twitter having a LOT fun making fake verified accounts at Elon Musk’s expense,. There’s doctors explaining just how bad things are within the NHS, a few thoughts on Gary Neville working for Qatari state TV during the World Cup, and Marina & Jemma tell us what they really think about Sir Keir Starmer. Plus there’s a little look at the latest fiasco in the Tory party, with bullying accusations surrounding the disgraced partygate-er Gavin Williamson, and of course there’s also an under-rated tweet of the week (or three). However, one thing is missing this week. See if you can spot what it is. RELATED LINKS You’ll find the full NHS special which Jemma Forte recorded for BylineTV here. Here’s the link to watch Help on All4 starring Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham, which Marina recommended. Here’s the longer clip of the brilliant Nicola Thorp on TalkTV. Seen a great tweet?
