Red and White Flags, White Bread and Daytime TV Deportation Chat

Summer’s over, the kids are back at school — and frankly, some adults in Britain could do with joining them. In this Trawl, Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte sift through the week’s chaos on social media, from Reform UK’s genius plan to cut deals with the Taliban, to Rylan’s unexpected audition for GB News, to a bread shortage that isn’t quite a crisis.Expect satire, sharp commentary, and clips that will make you laugh, groan, and possibly scream into the nearest pillow. Along the way, we meet Malcolm — who gifts us with the ultimate Schrödinger’s immigrant argument — applaud Rosie Holt’s pitch-perfect parody, and tip our hats to the great British sense of humour in the face of utter nonsense and a lot of painted roundabouts.As ever, the Trawl delivers: politics, parody, and plenty of posts you might have missed but definitely won’t forget.Jemma and Marina would love you to cast your vote for Gary Lineker as best presenter in this year's NTA's - here's the link - voting ends Sep 12th. Vote | National Television Awards - https://www.nationaltvawards.com/voteThank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcast Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawl Twitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastIf you’ve even mildly enjoyed The Trawl, you’ll love the unfiltered, no-holds-barred extras from Jemma & Marina over on Patreon, including:• Exclusive episodes of The Trawl Goss – where Jemma and Marina spill backstage gossip, dive into their personal lives, and often forget the mic is on• Early access to The Trawl Meets…• Glorious ad-free episodesPlus, there’s a bell-free community of over 3,300 legends sparking brilliant chat.And it’s your way to support the pod which the ladies pour their hearts, souls (and occasional anxiety) into.
