It's budget day! And at time of record, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt had just dropped what the ladies hope will be the last Tory budget. Imagine that... 

Jemma and Marina give some initial reactions to Hunt's speech which opened with lies, continued with lies, and then finished with lies - because if there's one thing Hunt is good at, it's consistency. 

The ladies then move from the goings-on in Westminster to those in Rochdale with a lookback at George Galloway coming first in the Rochdale by-election, and Richard Tice's Reform candidate coming fourth - in a two-horse race, no less. 

Then it's onto that Sunak speech outside number 10 on a Friday at 5:30pm, which for all his faults, Boris Johnson would never have done - most probably because it would have eaten into wine-time Fridays. 

This week's underrated section is a buffet of delicious clips and tweets, including THAT Grazia interview with Rishi Sunak and his wife as they tried to convey themselves as totally normal, and came across as anything but. 

The ladies finish with a clip of Sky's Sophy Ridge that felt heaven-sent for The Trawl, plus a smash hits pudding from Munya Chawawa.
