Summary

A little Christmas edition of The Trawl, which is less a trawl of the internet and more a trawl of the trawl. Marina & Jemma are in a reflective mood, recounting how much has happened in such a short space of time since the podcast began. There’s been scandals galore, more prime ministers than you can shake a stick at. There's also been tales of portable loos, falling cabinets, and accidentally mooning the monarchy. As well as revealing our festive party guestlist, there are clips from our archive of shows, there are new bits from sneezy BBC presenter Shaun Lay, funny political TikTokker Aid Thompsin, some of Liz Truss's greatest hits, a nose laugh from Sophy Ridge, Steve Bray blasting a tune for Hugh Grant, a dose of Dorries, and we revisit the brilliance of Joe Lycett. Oh, and who is the Lorrrrrrrd of the Year?! Seen a great tweet? Twit us @TheTrawlPodcast. Follow @MarinaPurkiss, @JemmaForte Leaving Twitter?
