Boxing Day, Bad Political Actors & the Great British Dumb‑Down

It’s Boxing Day on The Trawl, which means Marina and Jemma are fuelled by cheese, chaos and the most baffling headlines Britain has to offer. Join them as they sift through the festive madness: reality‑TV absurdity, BBC lawsuits, and the government’s latest attempt to turn violence against women into a culture‑war chew toy. They dig into Jess Phillips’ new proposals, the backlash from the usual suspects, and the data that certain politicians would rather ignore. Also featuring: Cilla Black fever dreams, Tom Skinner’s Strictly meltdown, and a surprising amount of cheese.

A perfect blend of silliness, sharpness and Stilton‑powered clarity.
