Summary

And the Republicans go after Kamala's...laugh?!

Kamala, Kahmaala, Kohmohla - Jemma and Marina open with a little lesson in how best to pronounce the name of the woman who is getting Republicans all hot under the collar over in the US.

But first, domestic issues - with a focus on the Labour rebellion that saw seven Labour MPs lose the whip after voting against the Government in regards to the much loathed two-child benefit cap. Might this fallout not be as black and white as it first seemed? Owen Jones certainly didn't seem to think so...

Then we cross state-side, where the VP-pick, JD Vance (or JD Sports as Jemma likes to call him as "he' a massive mug") has decided to insult swathes of the population by being insulting to "childless cat ladies". Then Jemma and Marina pour over our very own UK homegrown Trumpsters, like Russell Brand and Nigel Farage - thank goodness we have national treasures like Kathy Burke to tell it like it is!
