Ep 84: Vitriol for Vorderman, Woke Watch & Sunak Strife

Jemma and Marina have noticed that Carol Vorderman is getting under the skin of all the right people. In fact, the more Carol holds the government to account, the more the right-wing press sharpen their pencils. The more Carol spits facts, the more vitriol she’s exposed to on social media. In this trawl Marina and Jemma ponder why and read out some tweets which wholly champion her efforts. It’s called balance – quite the shocker in this pod. Then, to The Daily Mail we go, because they’ve published their ‘Woke List’ – yes, that’s honestly a thing, and it’s quite the hall of fame of people who are largely decent and great. Jemma and Marina wonder what the opposite sort of list would look like and are pretty sure it would include Sunak. Sunak has been scampering around the country in jets and choppers determinedly wrecking things and when challenged, is completely belligerent about his travel habits. There are some joyous underrated tweets as per and pudding. Enjoy! Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
