Summary

Recorded late at night with a few glasses of wine and zero chill, Marina and Jemma are in rare form this week - extra sharp, extra silly, and absolutely savage. They dive into Nigel Farage’s toe-curling testimony in the States, where Congressman Jamie Raskin delivers the kind of truth bombs that make Marina rub her knees and Jemma nearly cry with joy.


From Farage’s North Korea comparisons to Trump’s crockery-hurling tantrums, it’s a whirlwind of hypocrisy, absurdity, and late-night cackling. Expect pick-me politics, tech bro sycophancy, and a poetic ode to blankets vs. flags that somehow makes perfect sense after a few vinos.


It’s The Trawl at its most unfiltered - because nothing says “holding power to account” like doing it slightly tipsy.
