Summary

Jemma and Marina discuss the devastating Conservative by-election results - or as GB News optimisically put it: Rishi Sunak AVOIDS horror triple by-election wipe out. Ok hun... Johnny Mercer continues his run of revealing himself to be a massive bell by aluding to the 25 year-old Keir Mather who took the Selby seat as an "inbetweener" - apparently he's too young for people to relate to him, to know what it's like with a job and kids. Not like our super relatable man-of-the-people, married to a billionaire's daughter PM, Rishi Sunak... And then it's on to the stench surrunding GB News. Then a pudding that perfectly encapsulated why whether you like it or not, even if you think you don’t do politics, actually…you do.
