Summary
This week the pod opens with a tribute to Dame Edna Everage who sadly passed last week - who, as well as her infectious personality and talent, also had the measure of Boris Johnson long before many of us did.
Then it's onto Marina Vs Mogg - as Jemma and Marina discuss that head-to-head meeting which, at the time of record, had clocked over 7 million views on Twitter.
Then ding dong, Raab has gone - with reactions ranging from profound, to hilarious, to just plain idiotic. Jemma and Marina contemplate how on earth Oliver Downden will fill those teeny-tiny Deputy PM shoes. Given his latest interview with Sophie Ridge on Sky: not well.
Then it's a quick stop on the new plan to save Britain (wonder why it needs saving after 13 years of Tory rule) which is...more British Conservatism- brought to you by wrong-about-everything, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Lord David Frost.
Enjoy!
