Summary
Isn't it interesting how Sunak's wife and extended family, benefit so often from various government enterprises and grants. Marina and Jemma ponder the latest revelations from Byline and The Times and conclude that, just perhaps, the PM isn't in office 'just' to serve the people. *Scratch chins/give knowing looks*. Then, to the strikes. Which ones you cry? Fair question, it's hard to keep track. But in this ep it's the nurses and The Trawl has produced some clips which are well worth a listen. Pat Cullen, who represents the Royal College of Nursing, is convinced the Health Sec is telling porkies for instance.
But the latter half of this Trawl is dominated (as is the British press and media and social media) by the Coronation and the chaos surrounding it. The Mail are desperate for us all to pledge allegiance to the King. Jemma and Marina laugh their way through some pretty astonishing clips and aren't totally convinced that standing on a roundabout for hours on end, or lying in the Mall is necessarily their idea of fun. But hey, each to their own....
