Summary

Political commentators Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte took one week off for festive merriment and now catch up on a coupla weeks of tweets about toxic misogynist Andrew Tate vs environmentalist Greta Thunberg, alongside a serving of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak speaking to the homeless, Trump's troubled festive message, the strange case of US politician George Santos, and there's also Jemma's "interesting" way of pronouncing spud-u-like. Given the subject matter of what Andrew Tate has said and the allegations about him, please consider this a trigger warning. Here's the video for this episode's pudding (a little funny treat we pop on the end of each episode) if you want to see it with visuals.
