Summary

The Mail are OUTRAGED... again. They're outraged about something so mild (vegan cafes), Jemma and Marina decide to bring up somethings which are actually enraging. For instance, Vance thinks staying in abusive relationships is the right thing to do... the Trawl ladies don't agree.

They spend some time discussing Labour's decision to take away the winter fuel allowance against a backdrop of never ending revelations regarding Covid corruption which simply keep on coming. The public have been fleeced - but why should pensioners suffer? Or anyone else for that matter, as energy companies and water companies keep raking in huge profits.

And then it's onto THE debate - Trump v Harris gleaned plenty of Trawl gold. Migrants eating pets anyone?

How did they do? Has Taylor Swift's endorsement made a difference? Which were the best soundbites? It's all in this packed Trawl.

1:14.2	Oh, it's just,
1:15.5	it's a really nice, timely reminder

1:23.6	and anger.
1:26.1	Don't cash in.
