Summary

Marina opens with an idea... one inspired by the Tory Government last week. Though the ladies can't see it flying outside of Westminster - just like most of the shenanigans they get up to, which would never be acceptable in the real world. Then it's good news! Well sort of good news, well, maybe not quite... after Ofgem lowered the energy price cap. Though as always with this Govt and its client journalists, there's always more than meets the eye, so don't go spending your projected energy bill savings any time soon. Then finally - the lingering member for mid-Bedfordshire lingers no longer! And what an exit... The ladies discuss that resignation letter and its next-level delusion - not to mention the book plug: a national first! You can trust Nadine to provide some laughs, even on her way out as she celebrates her 'new' role. Then it's onto a real mixed bag of underrated tweets of the week - and prepare to get one old-school jingle stuck in your head. The episode closes with a Broken News report from satirists, Larry and Paul. Though these days, satire and reality become evermore difficult to distinguish...
