Summary
Jemma and Marina discuss what were a pleasingly catastrophic set of results for the Tories in the local elections and wonder why everyone knows that, apart from The Mail on Sunday. Oh, and Sunak......yes, the Prime Minister is still convinced his plan is working, despite the country trying desperately to tell him that it isn't. Meanwhile, Suella thinks she has the answer which is her answer for everything. Be More. Right. Wing. No thanks, Suella.
Meanwhile, on the Laura Kuenssberg show there are no Greens or Lib Dems in sight, despite their incredible gains, and despite the fact the Lib Dems gained more council seats than the Tories. The delusion is strong and yet of course, leader of Reform, Richard Tice, has had plenty to say even though they won a grand total of two seats. Yes, two. Not two hundred. Two. And which idiot, who should know better, forgot their ID and couldn't vote?
Marina and Jemma have trawled some of the juiciest reactions, there are plenty of clips and they haven't even started on the mayors yet, that's in the next episode.
Pudding is served by The Marsh Family,
Enjoy!

| 0:13.7 | Hello and welcome to The Trawl, where we scroll through social media so you don't have to. I'm Marina Perkis. |
| 0:20.1 | And I'm Gemma Forte. And I feel like we haven't |
| 0:22.8 | trawled for absolutely ages. Ages. But only because I've been away, so I've been in a kind |
| 0:29.0 | of like little Ibitha bubble and I'm not going to lie. It was fab. And yet, Marina, and yet |
| 0:34.8 | the finger was on the pulse. The pulse that probably needs a bit of an electric |
| 0:39.1 | shot right now. But no, the pulse, because it was all so exciting, wasn't it? And a little bit |
| 0:43.9 | tense in terms of the local elections. And particularly, I had my BDI on the results of the mayoral |
| 0:53.3 | elections, which kind of we got the result that we needed. |
| 0:59.3 | We're going to get to all of it over two episodes because there's so much juice, so much reaction. |
| 1:05.6 | But of course, as a Londoner, I can't lie. |
| 1:08.8 | Obviously, delighted Andy Burnham still here, you know, bit gutted Ben Hootian's still there, |
| 1:13.2 | Andy's really like, but the fact that we haven't got Susan Hall presiding over us. |
| 1:21.0 | See you later, Susan? |
| 1:22.7 | Later's, you're not bag. |
| 1:25.7 | So, yeah, that was really good. And am I the only one who's developing |
| 1:30.2 | somewhat of a soft spot for a certain count bin face as well? Oh yes. Absolutely. Yeah. |
| 1:37.8 | So we'll get stuck in. We'll get... Marvelous bin. |
| 1:46.0 | We'll get stuck in. |
| 1:49.6 | There was one person who wasn't quite as delighted, wasn't there, Marina? |
| 1:51.6 | There was, yeah. |
