Summary

Jemma and Marina begin by playing tribute to the incomparable Diane Keaton, Hollywood icon and absolute legend, who sadly died on October 11th at the age of 79.

Then, the Trawl ladies dive headfirst into the political mayhem: there are some Zack Polanski clips to stir you up and news on how the Greens are seeing a surge in popularity and indeed the polls, which can only be attributed to his refreshing approach. His style of comms is best demonstrated during a moment of “Penis Chat” chaos courtesy of Piers Morgan (of course).

Marina and Jemma unpack why boldness matters so much in this political moment, how one CEO proved trickle-down economics is a con, and why Farage’s latest U-turn reeks of desperation. Plus: there's Russian connections, media silence, soybeans (yep), and a truly excellent pudding.
