Summary
England are top of the group in the Euros, two clean sheets, and unbeaten - so why aren't we all ecstatic? Jemma and Marina discuss some of the best reactions to Southgate's 'safe' approach with a self-deprecating treat from Danny Dyer.
Then from football to fascism, as the ladies visit the latest public soilings from the man who just makes it up as he goes along - Nigel Farage. They discuss his dodgy as hell position on Russia and you won't believe who has been offering their support to Mr Farage on his X account...all the way from the Kremlin!
Then it's onto the Tories who have spent the last week trying to convince everyone that a supermajority is a thing - it ain't.
Then some superb underrated tweets and clips with an absolute belter via the grandson of Churchill and a brief mention of The Telegraph who appear to be losing their minds more so than usual.
Finally, a superb and heart-warming monologue from comedian John Oliver inspires Marina to do her very own election call-to-arms.
All wrapped up with a football-themed from Paddy Power.
Get tickets to The Movement Forward's election party!
