Ep 71: Johnson tears & Remainer Blob cheers...

Tory Civil wars were brewing...yet where was Rishi Sunak? Well, watching Man City win the treble apparently. Jemma and Marina try to make sense of the outrage and indigantion of the Johnson stooges, as their main man gets forced out of Government...by himself. It seems the blob has a lot to answer for. Apparently, the blob even blocked Brexit...which is curious, given we've all been told that Johnson got that done.  Next, it's onto Grant Shapps, AKA Sebastian Fox AKA any other number of false names, as Shapps was wheeled out on Sunday to do the Sunday morning media rounds. Though perhaps the early morning start had him confused, given he appeared to forget which way he voted in the Brexit referendum. The ladies touch upon Sunday's Laura Kuenssberg show where Laura had outdone herself not once, but twice. First by inviting Nigel Farage on to talk his usual unhinged bollocks, but secondly by calling anyone that would prefer her show to state facts rather than lies - a nerd.  Then the ladies wrap up with some Michelle Mone-favoured schadenfreude and a musical 'farewell Johnson' pudding that may just get stuck in your head...
