Jemma and Marina open with a tribute to the late, great BBC Radio host, Steve Wright who we lost last week - Sunday Love Songs will never be the same...

Then... Should the ladies try to be more poetic when talking down the Tories? Bells and bollards are fine, but perhaps they would fare better taking inspiration from the Nigerians. There's a lot of fun to be had when the ladies put this into practice.

Next, it's onto those massive by-election losses for Labour - which the Tories and their client journalists will still try to have you believe show no enthusiasm for Labour. If that's the case, goodness knows what it means for enthusiasm levels for the Tories. 

Rees-Mogg gets a little section all of his own for being thicker than average - or as the Nigerians might say: for being chased by wisdom, but choosing ton outrun it. The ladies discuss Mogg's latest milk-based outburst and try desperately to remove toxic visions from their minds when talk turns to Mogg's nanny and his...bitty.

Then it's a celebratory moment for the fact that the UK has entered a recession - but just a little, mild, technical one - in fact, one of the best ones we've had in years according to the BBC - how lovely. 

But don't even think about blaming the party of Govt for the last 14 years, instead be sure to blame students who play truant, as suggested by the seemingly crack-smoking jounro at The Telegraph, who suggested as much in their headline.

Then it's a quick despair at being walked at gunpoint to the cashpoint by our Govt and utility firms to pay for their record profits, before some topical tweets and a GB News pudding that may invoke a tiny bit of vom.
