Ep 60: Local election carnage and more Coronation chaos...

What a time to be alive...better still, what a time to be British! Jemma and Marina enjoy a momentary gloat at the public pummeling that was the May Local Elections. How could they not, when Tory MP Jonathan Gullis had his bluff and bluster drowned out by the sound of Labour victory cheers? All the while, Tory MPs, ministers and shills desperately scrambled around looking for positive spin, when alas, there was none. And from one celebration to another - the King's Coronation! In this episode, Jemma and Marina provide audio footage of what was being said during that heated exchange between Charles and his Queen (not Consort) in the golden, gilded carriage. And sadly that wasn't the only blight on the event, because for many the day will be remembered as a dark one for British democracy. Jemma and Marina discuss the fallout of Priti Patel's handiwork, the new Public Order bill, before finishing on a lighter note - their favourite, but unexpected hymn from the Coronation ceremony choir and a pudding that celebrates our new King...in modern Britain. Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Hosted on Acast.
