Summary

Marina and Jemma are trying to make sense of the BBC presenter scandal, the timing of it, the execution of it, the point of it. They wonder if it might be distracting from more important news, like global warming, the mortgage crisis or Johnson refusing to give up his phone. But, it's trending so they trawl and then there's also the Osborne wedding to discuss. It was all happening for the happy couple, what with THAT email dropping and then THAT orange confetti being thrown. What on earth is going on? Jemma and Marina have been burning the midnight oil so it's all a bit bewildering, although on the issue of the mural that Jenrick had painted over in the refugee processing centre, they're completely clear. Vile. Light relief is provided by Lee Anderson's GB News Show. Which isn't supposed to be funny. But is.
