Ep 169: Labour fallout & Stateside getting catty...

<p>And the Republicans go after Kamala's...laugh?!</p><p>Kamala, Kahmaala, Kohmohla - Jemma and Marina open with a little lesson in how best to pronounce the name of the woman who is getting Republicans all hot under the collar over in the US.</p><p>But first, domestic issues - with a focus on the Labour rebellion that saw seven Labour MPs lose the whip after voting against the Government in regards to the much loathed two-child benefit cap. Might this fallout not be as black and white as it first seemed? Owen Jones certainly didn't seem to think so...</p><br /><p>Then we cross state-side, where the VP-pick, JD Vance (or JD Sports as Jemma likes to call him as "he' a massive mug") has decided to insult swathes of the population by being insulting to "childless cat ladies". Then Jemma and Marina pour over our very own UK homegrown Trumpsters, like Russell Brand and Nigel Farage - thank goodness we have national treasures like Kathy Burke to tell it like it is!</p><br /><p>Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><br /><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><br /><p>Youtube</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl</a></p><br /><p>Twitter</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p>If you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma &amp; Marina over on Patreon, including:</p><br /><p>• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on</p><p>• Early access to The Trawl Meets…</p><p>• Glorious ad-free episodes</p><br /><p>Plus, there’s a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.</p><br /><p>And it’s your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.
