Summary

This episode kicks off with a clip from a podcast which couldn't be more different from The Trawl. Apparently, according to the hosts, women need to be validated by their husbands. You can imagine what Marina and Jemma make of that notion. And then we're off to Rwanda, only we might have to sneak in as left wing representatives aren't invited. Suella is off, inspecting facilities which could see her 'dream' a reality. But while she's having a whale of a time, everyone else is wondering what's so funny about sending refugees away against their will to a far flung land they haven't chosen. 'That' picture set Twitter alight with condemnation. As for nurses, they've been offered a paltry 5%, wait for it, from existing NHS budgets. Jemma and Marina discuss street parties and more and end with pudding from The Exploding Heads. Chris from Plymouth has called in once again and it couldn't be more apt for this ep. Enjoy!

1:30.5	So Connor posted a clip from their podcast and captioned it with these words.
1:37.4	Seeking attention on social media is a form of digital infidelity. It makes your man feel unwanted and profanes the sanctity of your
