Turns out, those sunlit uplands are quite bleak and a bit shady. In this episode we learn that a top Bank of England official has been saying that people need to accept we're now poorer. So, all that post Brexit paradise we were promised…it's been cancelled, or at least, it's been cordoned off for the majority of us…

Marina tells us what it was like appearing on Have I Got News For You which leads nicely into the detail on how Richard Sharp has finally resigned as Chairman of the BBC. 

Then, more men in Chairs but this time it's Deputy Chairman, Lee Anderson whom Marina and Jemma are interested in. His questioning of the Met Police Commissioner, Mark Rowley, was quite something which didn't escape Twitter's attention. Laurence Fox also got a schooling or two this week and Jemma and Marina recount what happened when they were let into the House of Lords, courtesy of GOOD Lord of the week, the wonderful Jenny Jones of the Green Party.
