Summary

Labour are off the starting blocks and at quite a pace. Jemma and Marina discuss everything that's happened since the Labour government got into power which, in a nutshell, is more than the Tories have achieved in 14 years. Inspired appointments include putting James Timpson in charge of prisons, Miliband in charge of climate and a Minister for Education who respects teachers. What are the chances?

It might well be a honeymoon period but the Trawl ladies will take it for as long as it lasts. Over in France there's been a result and a half too the French fascists are almost as upset as they are about a Labour win over at GB News and The Telegraph. There they're having a full blown meltdown as is Camilla Tominey who features in Under Rated Tweets of the week.

Tonnes of clips and tweets as ever and pudding is served by Matilda Thorpe.

Enjoy!
