Jemma and Marina felt they couldn't start this episode without mentioning the tragic events in Southport. Three little girls have been murdered and many more children, carers and police officers have been injured. Yet, as Southport grieves and tries to process the atrocity, certain people on the far right have deemed it appropriate to incite violence based on circulated misinformation - a dark day indeed.

Then the Trawl ladies look at the £22 billion black hole left by the Tories. Jeremy Hunt is neither prepared to apologise nor take any accountability - so whose fault is it and how can Labour claw back money for spending.

Then to Paris we go for Celine, drag queens, slow boats and drizzly weather. Was it a phenomenal success? Or a washout? Either way, Starmer was prepared. No plastic cagoule for him!

Pudding is from The Marsh Family and is a nod to the next episode which will be popping Stateside once more.
