The Trawl

Ep 85: Sunak's house turns black, Tory ads turn green


Listen Later

Jemma and Marina are back from Wilderness Festival where, if Jemma's voice is anything to go by they might have slightly overdone it. Still, fully recovered, they're ready to Trawl and start by regaling the Twitter (X but who's ever going to call it that?) tale of Georgie Grier. Georgie took to her socials with a teary face when only one person turned up to her show at the Edinburgh Fringe. Cut to an outpouring of kindness and support until.....The Sun got involved. 


Feel-good part of the pod over, Marina and Jemma discuss the Greenpeace protest against Sunak doshing out licences to oil and gas companies and reneging on any promises he may have made to go green in order to try to combat climate change. Was it ok to target his home in the face of his negligent U turn?


And, from Greenpeace to Greenwashing. There's a new thing happening. Suddenly, Tories are changing their posters and pamphlets from blue to green and omitting the word conservative. It's almost like they're embarrassed by how toxic their blue brand has become or something. But surely they wouldn't want to mislead people? Would they? *scratches head.


Lastly, the Trawl ladies serve some Underrated Clips for your delectation before Pudding which in this episode is a brilliantly appropriate clip from The Exploding Heads. 


Enjoy!
