Summary

We love it when politics goes mainstream... And it did this week when Sunak and Starmer decided to appear on Loose Women and Sunday Brunch, respectively. Jemma and Marina discuss how they both fared, and why one of them went viral - probably because he tried to suggest he was fixing child poverty with an Online Safety Bill.

Next up are more culture wars as a result of the 72-gender myth which is resulting in new legislation, despite the only evidence of this being a thing coming from someone's next door neighbour's friend's sister's cat. 


And you'll be glad to know that it's not just poverty that is spiraling in this country, but Sunak's and his wife's wealth too. Jemma and Marina discuss the growing inequality in the UK and elsewhere, and why soulless Sunak is the last person we need at the helm.


Finally, get your patio tables and parasols ready, because Al Fresco dining is about to hit the UK by storm thanks to a new Brexit benefit - apparently. Someone might need to tell Trade Secretary, Kemi Badenoch where the term Al Fresco originates from...

I'm Marina Perkis and I'm Gemma Forte and we're British so we've just had a chat about

the weather before we press record. I'm not kidding Forte, and we're British, so we've just had a chat about the weather before we pressed record.

0:23.6

I'm not kidding. And do you know what? I don't care. I'm going to go with it.

0:27.3

It's a little bit warm. It's a little bit cold. What duvet do you put on? What clothes? I've had it.

0:31.8

My wardrobe conundrums are a plenty at the moment. So let's start with a tweet by very British problems who said

we're now arriving at Leg Out of the Duvee time of year. It's here, been dreading it. Good luck

everyone. Next good night's sleep, September. If only that were true, it's currently, at

time of record, pissing it down. We're going to look like little bedraggled, bedraggled rats as we go off, at time of record, pissing it down.

1:27.7

tons and tons and tons of clips on social media, sort of laughing at him, which there would

1:34.2

be if he'd royally messed it up. But actually, I think the show quite suited his vibe.

1:39.1

So you know, obviously, this is the week he did his six pledges speech, which is pretty good.

It was you actually. You sent me,
