Summary
It's squeaky-bum time for our Prime Miniature Rishi Sunak this week...
Jemma and Marina open with a discussion around the many elections taking place this week that could see things go from bad to worse for Rishi Sunak. And please God, deliver us from Susan Hall becoming the new London Mayor.
Then, what's better: Twitter or X? The ladies discuss the worst rebrand of all time before moving on to an MP who this week rebranded himself from Tory blue, to Labour red. We're talking of course, about Dr Dan Poulter who has managed to find his principles so close to a general election - incredible coincidence.
30p Lee has been whinging again... this time about the banning of an old sitcom named Terry & June. Except it hasn't been banned at all. Not content with spouting nonsense about sitcoms, Lee moved on to spouting nonsense about Blackpool, resulting in Jemma and Marina having a good giggle about Lee's prehistoric vision of what he wants Britain to be. Spoiler: Get your headscarves and buckets out, ladies!
Then it's onto the resignation of Scotland's First Minister, Humza Yousaf, before a trigger warning discussion about Reform's Ben Habib and the shock remarks made about migrants drowning in the channel.
To end, Jemma and Marina serve up some epic underrated tweets and finish with another musical masterpiece from The Marsh Family.

| 0:16.8 | I'm Marina Perkis. |
| 0:18.0 | And I'm Gemma Forte, and this week it's squeaky bum time for Lego Elvis, |
| 0:24.1 | aka Rishi Sunak. |
| 0:25.8 | Because hundreds of council seats, |
| 0:27.7 | police and crime commissioner jobs and mayoral posts will be up for grabs. |
| 0:32.2 | Voters across England and Wales are set to go to the polls on the 2nd of May |
| 0:37.1 | in what will be the largest test of |
| 0:39.5 | electoral opinion before the next general election. And a key test will be whether Tory |
| 0:45.4 | mayors Ben Hootian and Andy Street will be able to buck the national trend and keep hold |
| 0:50.1 | of their seats in the Tees Valley and West Midlands. And then, oh, blimey, what happens in London will be fascinating because there's no denying |
| 0:59.2 | amongst certain people, definitely cab drivers, Sunax U-Less is wildly unpopular. |
| 1:07.2 | But then the Tory candidate and Trall Fave all round right wing crackpot Susan Hall. |
| 1:14.6 | I mean, bloomin' heck, really? I just pray she doesn't get in. |
| 1:20.1 | Yeah, I was at christening the other day and there were some, let's to say, Tory people there |
| 1:26.4 | and they themselves said they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Susan Hall. |
| 1:30.5 | So there you go. |
| 1:31.1 | I was a bit reassured by that. |
| 1:32.9 | Yeah. |
