Murdoch is engaged again. Marina and Jemma ponder this romantic news before delving into the aftermath of last week's budget. If the Tories had been hoping for a bounce in the polls, their political hearts will have dropped when they saw the latest results from Westminster Voting Intentions. Turns out, 2p off your NI hasn't had the cut through they were hoping for...funny that.

The Trawl ladies trawl through a few clips from the aftermath, some wonderful ones and some bias ones. Laura K they might be looking at you. 

Then, Michelle Donelan's had her legal costs paid for by the treasury. Everyone alright with that? Jeremy Hunt seems pretty relaxed about it but then he also thought a 2p NI cut would make up for 14 years of Tory misery. Still, Donelan's legal bills were a snip compared to Truss' travel expenses and plane food bill. No cost cutting going on there. It seems cuts are only reserved for our public services. 

Then, Jemma and Marina discuss the abhorrent comments made by Tory donor Frank Hester. The comments were dangerous and inexcusable and yet some MPs were OK with not dealing with them in the strongest of terms. Why did it take so long for the top Tories to call out for what it is - racism. 

After all that political grit we're off to the Oscars for a bit of glamour. Jimmy Kimmel gets Under Rated Clip of The Week. Pudding is served by Larry and Paul
