Ep 131: Right gone wrong - Suella, Lee and Liz


Listen Later

Like Mariah, Celine and Whitney, Tory bells Lee, Suella and Liz need only their first name for instant recognition. But sadly, instead of singing absolute belters, this trio of wrong' uns are spewing hate, division and stoking fear.

This pod is sectioned, as some might suggest our trio should be, to allow for individual dissection of the latest line-crossing of these three Tories, who are seemingly on a mission to get themselves so far to the right, that our hope is they tip over. 


Jemma and Marina discuss Suella's latest Torygraph article where she declared the Islamists, extremists and antisemites are now in charge of Britain, which makes somewhat of a change from it being the blob, the elite establishment and the tofu-eating wokerati.


Then it's onto Lee Anderthal, who limited his apparent Islamophobia to London and its Mayor instead of the whole of Great Britain - how very restrained of him. The ladies discuss the dangerous conflation between Islam and Islamists, and the shocking results of a Tory member poll that shows this dangerous conflation is having an impact., before attempting to lighten the tone with some wonderful reactions to Lee's latest cock-up.


And when is racism, not racism? Well, when it's covered by the BBC and is demoted to just 'criticism'. Astounding coverage of these events followed astounding interviews where ministers and Secretaries of State metaphorically soiled themselves on air, which are served up for your listening pleasure. 


Finally, it's onto Liz - who last week found herself serving her South-West Norfolk constituents all the way from a far-right conference in the US. Staying true to form, Liz spent her time trying to wreck things as quickly as possible - not the UK economy, mortgages and pension funds this time - instead she has moved on to US/UK diplomatic relations. Well done, Liz.


The ladies praise Sunak's efforts in doing what no PM has done before - uniting Liverpool and Chelsea fans. Then it's onto a few delicious underrated tweets to help you get through the sheer ridiculousness of it all, before pudding from Larry & Paul.
