Summary

In this week's episode of the podcast that trawls social media so you don't have to, you'll meet Politico Bob who is a member of the electorate who picked up 40k+ new followers this week after Nadine Dorries MP sent him a rather spicy reply. There's also the climate emergency being eclipsed by Prince Harry and some rather shocking revelations about how much MPs earn from their second jobs (and often it seems as if being an MP is in fact their side hustle...). Plus a vintage slice of Boris Johnson being shouted at and a double helping of Jeremy Vine and Tony Blackburn flavoured pudding to finish. Seen a great tweet? Twit us @TheTrawlPodcast.

0:46.2	I'm Gemma Forte.
0:51.6	And I'm Marina Perkis and as is the way some weeks it's difficult to know where to begin when faced with such an ocean of juicy content. So I've decided to go
0:56.5	straight in with a tweet from Anita Singh at Anita the Tweeter, who is the Daily Telegraph Arts
1:02.4	and Entertainment Editor. Anita wrote, I keep hearing people say they're bored with hearing from
1:08.4	Harry. But if you don't love the story of William pushing him
1:11.5	onto a dog bowl, then passively aggressively calling him Harold, then you're dead inside.
1:17.5	Gemma, are you dead inside? Um, I might be starting to die a little bit inside, I'll be
1:23.7	honest. Mainly because it's not that I don't have immense sympathy with so much that
1:28.3	Harry's been talking about, but it just ends up overriding the entire news agenda. And in fact,
