Summary

Jemma and Marina barely know where to begin. The Trawl content is simply relentless as the campaign trail continues. However, it seems to makes sense to start with the recently announced Tory manifesto and go from there. The hitting the skids type jokes write themselves. Then it's on to Sunak's latest set of gaffes and the heart-wrenching discovery that he didn't have Sky. The poor widdums, how did he cope? 

Then it's a rewind as we go back to the debate which featured a member from each of the main parties. It's a good opportunity to hear from Carla Denyer from the Green Party and SNP leader, Stephen Flynn. There's a whole section dedicated to Penny Mordaunt's hair which was truly incredible, for all the wrong reasons. 


Marina and Jemma are blown away by quite how empty Nigel Farage's policies are when scrutinised and a plea to the people of Clacton to vote for the young Labour candidate who Marina spoke to on the phone. 


There's a tribute to TV Doctor Michael Mosley and the Trawl ladies feel compelled to mention the ongoing situation in Israel and Palestine. Then it's onto the underrated clips and tweets of the week which are gold. The clip of a Reform candidate talking about why the airport made him go into politics will have you scratching your heads. 


As ever, The Trawl ladies don't hold back. What a time to be alive!

But there'll be all sorts of things that I would have wanted as a kid that I couldn't have, right?

0:04.3

Famously Sky TV.

0:09.1

Hello and welcome to The Troll, where we scroll through social media so you don't have to.

0:13.8

I'm Marina Perkis.

0:15.0

And I'm Gemma Forte, and today we are going to try to cram as much insane stuff as we possibly can into this episode. But there is

0:23.3

literally so much trawl gold. And then there's Macron announcing an election and all that stuff.

0:30.0

So that's going to have to go into another episode. But before we dive in, let's just start by wondering

0:36.7

which names sound so grown up.

0:40.0

You can't imagine anyone deciding upon it for their baby.

0:44.0

Here's Italian back from Instagram with his reflections.

0:48.0

Here are some names that will go extinct because they can't be breastfed.

0:51.2

They simply need to be born at 40 years old otherwise everyone gets

0:54.2

uncomfortable. Number one, Craig. You can't breastfeed Craig. Craig should be doing taxes,

0:59.6

not trying to walk for the first time. Next up is Clive. You can try and make it cute for a

1:04.8

baby with nicknames like Cheese and Clive dip, but it's just a full grown man. Next up is Simon. By all means if you can hold them in

1:13.8

for 40 years rather than pumping them out your bum at nine months, call them whatever you want,

1:19.2

but you can't have a Simon crawling around. Next up you've got Richard. Come on. No one wants to

1:25.9

hold Richard. It's weird. Next up is Jeffrey. I don't know. I just have the overwhelming urge to shake its hand, even if it is a baby.

1:34.3

Next one is Alan. I don't even think you could breastfeed Alan if you tried.

1:38.3

He wouldn't take to the tea. He'd rather have a black coffee, I'm sure.

1:41.3

Next up is Mark. If you decide on Mark before the baby is born,

1:45.7

he will come out in a three-piece suit.
