Summary
<p>Jemma and Marina are back, sifting through another load of digital debris so you don’t have to. Luckily, the weekend is in sight… though Christmas is also looming, the cosi-livs crisis continues to chew through bank accounts, and the UK's politicians? Well, they’re arguing amongst themselves as usual.</p><br /><p>The Trawl ladies check in on the incoming budget, beautifully skewered by Cody Dahler, before plunging into the asylum “crackdown” that many Labour backbenchers are struggling to defend. Jemma and Marina explore the prospect of refugees building 15 years of life in the UK… only to be told “tara mate, off you pop” when their home country is reclassified as “safe”.</p><br /><p>LBC's Tom Swarbrick is quite happy with what's being mooted, but the Greens are <em>not</em> having it. Zack Polanski blows a gasket, at Labour’s <em>“give us your jewellery”</em> approach.</p><br /><p>Marina and Jemma talk polling, panic, the pointless race to the bottom and why none of this actually solves the inequality at the heart of the problem.</p><br /><p>Then, in true Trawl fashion, they veer sideways to a DOGE update, and a chef’s-kiss Pudding from Munya Chawawa.</p><br /><p>Another week. Another avalanche of nonsense. Another Trawl.</p><br /><p>Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</u></a></p><p>Youtube</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl</u></a></p><p>Twitter</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast</u></a></p><p>If you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & 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.
