It’s been an interesting week for the Mercers. Tory MP, Johnny Mercer, said repeatedly that if veterans were using food banks it was about ‘choices’. Lovely. 

Meanwhile, Johnny’s wife, Felicity, wrote a pretty vicious piece in The Telegraph about Carol Vorderman. Jemma and Marina discuss the inevitable Twitter storm that followed. 

Sunak has been busy. He’s had questions to answer although the one Marina and Jemma would like to ask him is ‘why do you hate young people so much?’ 

The NHS is 75 years old. Pudding is a tribute to it.
