Description
As Independence Day (from the Tories) looms, Jemma and Marina have gone bumper with this extra long Trawl. They start with a footy update and then dive into the post match analysis of... Glastonbury. Why do all the right-wing bell-ends get so triggered by it? What is it about the musical, magical, cultural playground that annoys them so much?
Then, it's into politics we go with a quick round of 'what are the Tories lying about now?' and a look at the desperate lengths The Telegraph are going to to persuade you that Labour equals Armageddon.
Still, if you think things here are bad, wait till you hear the clips of Biden and Trump trying to string sentences together, It's disturbing to say the least.
And, with one day to go before we get to place our crosses in the ballot box, the rest of the ep is dedicated to remembering why it's s important we don't feel complacent, that we vote and that we make our vote count.
Good luck Trawlers - can't wait to meet again soon for all the best takes, for a look back and indeed a look forward.

Jemma and Marina get straight into it - and there's absolutely no shying away from the fact that not only did Trump win, but he won 'bigly'.

Prior to this episode, Jemma had mainly associated the word 'Duchy' with Musical Youth, the band from the 80's who used to pass it on the left hand side. Since delving into the C4 Dispatches 'The King, The Prince and Their Secret Millions' she's had to catch up pretty quickly.
