Reform Raffle, Tory Receipts & Starmer Confusion

<p>Marina and Jemma are back in the trenches, sifting through the chaos so you don’t have to.</p><br /><p>In this episode, why&nbsp;Keir Starmer&nbsp;can be both competent&nbsp;<em>and</em>&nbsp;deeply frustrating, a baffling “free energy bills” stunt linked to&nbsp;Nigel Farage, and yet more questions swirling around Reform’s candidates and Tice's company tax affairs.</p><br /><p>There’s also a diplomatic cringe moment featuring&nbsp;David Lammy&nbsp;and&nbsp;JD Vance, a Tory hypocrisy masterclass, and a reminder that British politics remains, above all else, spectacularly weird.</p><br /><p>Plus: unconscious bias checks, Brexit queue rage, a genuinely heartening vox pop, and an underrated section that delivers exactly what it promises.</p><br /><p>It’s messy, it’s ranty, it’s occasionally unhinged. It’s The Trawl.</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>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.
