The Trawl

Ep 137: Gullis promoted, the £100k struggle & Owen Jones


Listen Later

It's another jam-packed pod... opening with furious reaction to Nike's England flag rebrand and some commentary from Marina which resulted in an Express news article dedicated just to her.

Then it's onto Owen Jones, who this week announced he was leaving the Labour party, to a very mixed reaction. Marina and Jemma explore their own thoughts and feelings on this, because despite the polling and the complacency - it ain't over till it's over. 


Hunt gets his own section thanks to his tone-deaf comments about people in his constituency not getting by on £100k. Something has to have gone pretty wrong in an economy if you can be earning £100k and still not make ends meet. The ladies discuss and share the best reactions and explore what 30p Lee might have said. Learn to budget better perhaps?


The Kate Middleton news gets a brief mention as the ladies chat through the reaction to the announcement before moving swiftly on to the big news in town... 


The Conservatives have a new Deputy Chairman and his name is Jonathan Gullis! He must be thrilled to be promoted to a job he's going to lose in 5 months. 


Then Jemma and Marina finish with the latest and greatest bit of disinformation put out by Tory Twitter before finishing with a perfectly on-topic pudding about flags.
