Reform Raffle, Tory Receipts & Starmer Confusion

Marina and Jemma are back in the trenches, sifting through the chaos so you don’t have to.

In this episode, why Keir Starmer can be both competent and deeply frustrating, a baffling “free energy bills” stunt linked to Nigel Farage, and yet more questions swirling around Reform’s candidates and Tice's company tax affairs.

There’s also a diplomatic cringe moment featuring David Lammy and JD Vance, a Tory hypocrisy masterclass, and a reminder that British politics remains, above all else, spectacularly weird.

Plus: unconscious bias checks, Brexit queue rage, a genuinely heartening vox pop, and an underrated section that delivers exactly what it promises.

It’s messy, it’s ranty, it’s occasionally unhinged. It’s The Trawl.
