Summary

Reform have had a fair few struggles with their vetting process but this week have surpassed even themselves by cancelling an inactive candidate who turned out to be.....dead. A pulse is probably necessary, even at Reform.

Then, it's time to look at the papers and, despite the prospect of WW3, The Mail are focusing on Angela Rayner and what she 'might' or might not owe in capital gains tax.

Jemma and Marina discuss how Laura Kuenssberg can't get enough of the story and pay tribute to writer, John O'Farrell's, glorious contribution to the show. They go on to discuss a topic the BBC won't be covering any time soon - it's BBC bias and what's happened to the News department since Tory donor, Robbie Gibb, was put in charge.

There follow masses of Under Rated Tweets and the Trawl ladies are definitely bias because they think they're very funny.

Pudding is interactive.

Enjoy!
