Summary

The world's gone mad. Lord Cruddas is 'threatening' us with the obliteration of the Tory party if Labour bring in Proportional Representation. Jemma and Marina love the sound of that, yet Starmer won't commit (even though he said he would in 2019). Nick Ferrari is making sewage sense and Jacob Rees Mogg finally tells the truth. He admitted, publicly, that introducing voter ID was gerrymandering, which is pretty jaw dropping and taught Jemma a new word. 

Plus, because Marina and Jemma trawl through Twitter, they feel obliged to include their own Twitter bell-end moment.
