Summary
It's all kicking off in this episode of The Trawl. Twitter polls are not getting the results pollsters want with hilarious consequences. An MP is using his platform to lay into people in a manner that feels neither fitting nor appropriate. And Johnson's column in The Mail is stoking hatred. Marina and Jemma discuss the submarine tragedy and why it's led to Johnson accusing anyone who was fearful of it, as a leftie. There's a spat, a tantrum and all out class war.
Michael Spicer delivers the knock-out punch with an excellent pudding that hits the mark.
