Ep 77: Mercer madness, Tory travesty and our NHS.

<p>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. </p><br /><p>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. </p><br /><p>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?’ </p><br /><p>The NHS is 75 years old. Pudding is a tribute to it. </p><br /><p>Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><br /><p> Hosted on Acast.
