Summary

This is our first trawl of Twitter since the Jeremy Hunt Autumn budget, so we take a look at that underwhelming despair fest. But, don’t worry, twitter has provided plenty of funnies this week too Plus in part 2 (coming on Friday) our political pair will discuss the World Cup and how Space Karen aka Elon Musk is still on the rampage. Another phenomenon that Marina and Jemma have noticed lately, is the ramping up of much more honest chat about Brexit as people finally start to face reality… no, really! Seen a great tweet?
