Summary

This episode opens with the heart-warming tale of Carly in Harlow and her allotment, but any warm and fuzzy feelings will be short-lived as Jemma and Marina follow this with a discussion on that Liz Truss speech and some of the best reactions to it. Then it's a quick stop off at the Reform Party Spring rally - because you wouldn't want to stay there any longer - before discussing a Daily Mail article that appeared to imply that women doing well were to blame for the downfall of Tupperware. Then, and how could they not, Jemma and Marina chat through some of the latest glittering Brexit benefits and touch upon a very exciting head-to-head that is coming up next week (get your popcorn ready), before finishing on a Brexity-flavored pudding from The Exploding Heads.
