She's had&nbsp;an&nbsp;unfortunate&nbsp;encounter&nbsp;with&nbsp;comedian&nbsp;Vittorio&nbsp;Angelone&nbsp;on&nbsp;<em>The&nbsp;Last&nbsp;Leg</em>.</p><br /><p>Inevitably however, no matter how much the Traw ladies try to hang around in the lighter past, they are&nbsp;pulled&nbsp;back&nbsp;into&nbsp;the&nbsp;big&nbsp;story that's dominating the news cycle.</p><br /><p>There’s&nbsp;Nigel&nbsp;Farage’s&nbsp;4,000-mile pointless&nbsp;trip&nbsp;to&nbsp;Mar-a-Lago&nbsp;and&nbsp;a&nbsp;reminder&nbsp;that&nbsp;Reform’s&nbsp;war-chat&nbsp;seems&nbsp;about&nbsp;as&nbsp;stable&nbsp;as&nbsp;Farage’s&nbsp;geopolitical&nbsp;opinions and his parties promises to reduce council tax.&nbsp;</p><br /><p>Plus:&nbsp;the&nbsp;ghost&nbsp;of&nbsp;Iraq&nbsp;hovering&nbsp;awkwardly&nbsp;as&nbsp;Tony&nbsp;Blair&nbsp;pops&nbsp;up&nbsp;again,&nbsp;and&nbsp;why&nbsp;fossil-fuel&nbsp;wars&nbsp;do&nbsp;a&nbsp;lot&nbsp;more&nbsp;to&nbsp;your&nbsp;energy&nbsp;bill&nbsp;than&nbsp;Net&nbsp;Zero&nbsp;ever&nbsp;did.</p><br /><p>And&nbsp;because&nbsp;this&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>The&nbsp;Trawl</em>,&nbsp;there’s&nbsp;also&nbsp;a&nbsp;brief&nbsp;detour&nbsp;via&nbsp;The&nbsp;Sound&nbsp;of&nbsp;Music,&nbsp;some&nbsp;unexpected&nbsp;trivia,&nbsp;and,&nbsp;for&nbsp;pudding,&nbsp;Larry&nbsp;and&nbsp;Paul&nbsp;with&nbsp;Broken&nbsp;News.</p><br /><p>Thank you for sharing and please do follow us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Patreon</p><p><a href="https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Youtube</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Twitter</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcast</a></p><br /><p>The&nbsp;news&nbsp;cycle&nbsp;might&nbsp;be&nbsp;a&nbsp;washing&nbsp;machine&nbsp;full&nbsp;of&nbsp;bricks…&nbsp;but Marina and Jemma are&nbsp;here&nbsp;to&nbsp;fish&nbsp;out&nbsp;the&nbsp;funniest&nbsp;bits.</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.
