Summary

Recorded pre US election, this episode begins with tributes to two greats who died this week. Music producer, Quincy Jones and comedian, Janey Godley, who famously detested Trump. There is a wonderful clip made by BBC Scotland News which encapsulates her beautifully. Quincy Jones is 'pudding' and we learn what the greatest advice he ever heard was.

The main focus of this episode is the latest anointing of a new Tory leader. Kemi Badenoch has beaten Robert Jenrick and is the first black woman in the role. Jemma and Marina are interested to find out what a Nigerian politics show are making of it. Meanwhile, Badenoch isn't exactly covering herself with glory on the Laura Kuenssberg show. Partygate? Overblown. Really?

As for her cabinet, the words 'barrel' and 'scraping' spring to mind.

0:00.0	Rachel Reese keeps talking about how she's the first female chancellor, which in my view is a very, very low glass ceiling within the Labour Party.
0:10.4	Hello and welcome to The Trull where we scroll through social media so you don't have to.
0:14.9	I'm Marina Perkist.
0:16.2	And I'm Gemma Forte.
0:17.6	And by the time this podcast comes out, we will be on our way to knowing the outcome of the
0:24.5	US presidential election. Marina and I definitely will have been up all night and Kamala Harris
0:29.8	may or may not be the first female to be on her way to entering the White House as president
0:35.7	of the United States. Obviously, we're not missed it,
0:38.7	Meg, we've got no idea what's going to happen. But one thing I found rather interesting,
0:42.1	because lots of votes have been cast, I think at Time of Court, about 40% of them. And there was
0:48.1	a picture doing the rounds. And it was of when Donald Trump went to vote alongside Melania. And no joke, this has not been
0:58.7	doctored. He is very clearly peaking over to try and get a little peep at what Melania is
1:07.1	writing on her ballot. Tristan Snell tweeted, he doesn't trust his own wife to vote for him, which is why you
1:14.1	shouldn't vote for him either.
1:16.0	I really, really hope he peaked over and just saw her drawing a massive cock and balls.
1:23.5	Imagine.
1:24.7	Yeah, it's a stupid bastard.
1:26.2	That could have been a moment.
1:29.4	This is a great tweet.
1:30.6	This is actually probably one of my underrated tweets, but we had to pop it in at the top
1:34.1	because it fits here.
1:35.5	And it's from Boston Smalls.
