Ep 83: A license to drill & 30p Lee overspills...

The ladies open with a brief, but apt, reaction to the continuous wall-to-wall coverage of Farage and his bank account woes, and touch upon the high-calibre nature of some recent GB News bookings. Then it's a trip down memory lane to Cop 26 - when the UK hosted and championed a global summit committed to achieving net zero. Fast-forward to three Prime Ministers and one Uxbridge and S.Ruislip by-election later, and things have changed somewhat...The ladies discuss the decision by Rishi Sunak to give the go-ahead to hundreds of new oil and gas licenses in the North Sea. This is apparently all to do with energy security and nothing to do with Sunak's family business ties...But worry not about the rapid heating up of our only planet, because as Dave Frost says: we can adapt. Climate change herd immunity, anyone? Then it's onto the latest golden nuggets from Tory MP, 30p Lee, who shows us what happens when the right tries to be funny, and also what happens when Lee fails to sense-check his tweets before hitting send. Finished off with a delightful clip from the satirist, Matilda Thorpe and she too shares a sobering tale of when her child returned home from one of those BLOODY WOKE universities...Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
