Summary

Another week of Tory psychodrama, another week of Tories making utter fools of themselves. It's hard to know where to start, so Jemma and Marina intro with a gem from Tory mayoral candidate, Susan Mason and her Essex nightclub howler. Then it's a quick chat about THAT YouGov poll - and how it was oh so perfectly timed to collide with the Rwanda vote. And my word...what a kerfuffle. All that noise, pressure, threats, resignations - all for the bill to pass with just 11 looney rebels prepared to stand firm. Trust Tory rebels to be too incompetent to rebel. Jemma and Marina savour the moment '30p Lee' became 'Hurty Lee' and invented a whole new word to describe the utter trauma of being...sniggled at. The ladies chat through the desperate lengths Sunak is going to in pursuit of his albatross Rwanda bill - including his magic trick, where from out of nowhere he is going to abracadabra up 150 judges. It would be rude not to include Therese Coffey's ruinous House of Commons moment regarding Rwanda, and then it's onto an observation of "Dodgy" Dave Cameron's Brexit admission on the Laura Kuenssberg show. To finish, Jemma shares some cheeky weather reports, Marina brings up the Royals - because apparently we are a nation reeling and worrying ourselves sick over how Prince William will manage bathtime, and you're in for a treat with a perfectly on theme 30p Pudding.

0:30.1	Do you just snigling and pointing and laughing all Leander's in there. He's coming back to the Labour Party and all this. I saw that, I thought, you know, off, off, off, off.
0:40.1	Hello, and welcome to The Troll, where we scroll through social media so you don't have to.
0:45.2	I'm Marina Perkis.
0:46.4	And I'm Gemma Forte, and this week, the nation has been watching the latest,
0:51.4	unedifying instalment of the Tory party eating itself, all for the sake of a
0:56.0	policy that only the maddest fruit loop could possibly think is a good idea, due to it being
1:01.1	rank, immoral, impossible to implement without breaking international law, hugely expensive,
1:06.3	and unlikely to work. Other than that, it's great. But more on that in a sec, because firstly, that this is a
1:12.3	kind of personal note, but I'm getting a bit bored of being all January-ish and sort of
1:17.7	wholesome arena, and I'm kind of thinking, should we get some of the girls together soon,
1:21.1	get a date in the diary, and go clubbing. Because I saw Susan Hall, you know, the Tory
