About this episode

Jemma and Marina discuss the impact of climate change amidst record heatwaves and critique media pundits while addressing Nigel Farage's controversial financial dealings.

Last week, politics wasn't the only thing making Jemma and Marina hot under the collar - the weather was and they were melting. Literally. Britain has sweltered through record-breaking temperatures, so the Trawl ladies look at the growing mountain of evidence that climate change is no longer a future problem because it's happening right now. So why are so many TV pundits still insisting it's "just summer"? From GB News to LBC, they dissect the spectacularly bad takes from people sitting comfortably in air-conditioned studios while teachers, commuters and NHS staff deal with the reality. Then they turn to Nigel Farage's increasingly uncomfortable media tour, as questions mount over his £5 million gift from a crypto billionaire. After years of demanding transparency from everyone else, why is he suddenly so keen to tell everyone to mind their own business? Expect plenty of righteous fury, a few laughs and Cilla Black makes an unexpected return.  Join the The Trawl's Facebook BRAND NEW Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61590931382660 Get your tickets for The Trawl Live from  https://thetrawl.tix.to/tickets Thank you for sharing and please do follow us…
