Botox Bollox, Boozy MPs & a Five Million Pound 'Gift'
4/30/202642 min
In this Trawl, Jemma and Marina take on everything from outdated beauty standards to the increasingly surreal state of UK politics.
There’s fury over a jaw-dropping tabloid takedown of Cameron Diaz, a debate about whether Westminster has a drinking problem, and a deep dive into political messaging that raises more questions than it answers.
Plus: claims, counterclaims and confusion around campaign tactics, viral clips that feel almost too bizarre to be real, and yet more examples of how modern politics often blurs the line between serious and absurd.
Throw in AI-generated oddities, questionable adverts, and some truly baffling public reactions, and you’ve got an episode that’s equal parts funny, frustrating and hard to look away from.
As ever, they scroll so you don’t have to.
