Summary

It's been a tough old week for the country after days of violence on our streets by rioters - and no, they aren't pro-Britain marches or anti-immigration protests – they are rioters. End of.

Jemma and Marina discuss the road that got us here, and the pied pipers at the helm who are now trying their best to distance themselves from the so called 'Farage riots' - yeah, good luck with that.

Then to the rioters themselves - who are stealing crocs, smashing up Greggs and chucking Lush bath bombs, all in the name of protecting our children, of course.

Elon Musk gets a mention given he now has a deep interest in UK politics and is seemingly happy to stir the pot and sow disinformation.

Jemma and Marina wrap up with some pertinent and powerful underrated tweets including one from Dr Gabor Matte, but the cherry on the cake is pudding, when Darren called into LBC and stole our hearts. Everyone. Be more Darren.
