Jemma is fresh off a flight back from her holiday for this episode, so what better way to get her back to into the swing of things than to discuss Reform's dodgy new appointment, who once said Hitler was "brilliant" and described Bashar al-Assad as "gentle by nature". He sounds just wonderful.

Next, a moment of commiseration as Jemma and Marina describe how the UK can no longer be considered a rich country due to collapsing living standards for the poorest 40%. Do you know what would come in really handy here? A Govt that gave a toss about inequality...instead we have Labour doing their best Tory impression with the latest welfare cuts.

Jemma and Marina don't hold back with their views and Marina has some choice words for Starmer (on the off chance he's listening) before talk turns to why we keep hitting the poorest when we have millionaires literally asking to be taxed more. They even put their message on a big old bus...because that worked out so well last time.

Finally, talk turns to the US where the arrogance of people's ignorance is quite breathtaking, especially as far as the Statue of Liberty is concerned. Then see what you make of this episode's cryptic underrated clip, followed by a billionaire-based pudding from comedian, Rhys James.
