You are keeping me sane.

Champagne London socialists
Two silly women who just want to Tory bash. If that’s your thing you will love it. All criticism and no solutions
2022-10-23
A proper eye opener
Great stuff, the levels of incredulity and frustration that is shared by so many of us, all presented with a great dollop of sarcasm and a good few laughs along the way.

The podcast of all podcasts.
Best podcast about, by a country mile. Enthusiastic, funny, serious, truth talking, a sprinkling of everything, an essential listening to in the current dire situation. Definitely brings a smile.

Bloody love this!
This Government makes me mad.
But J & M make me glad
From furniture mishaps to
Who the f is Grant Shapps
This podcast makes me happy, not sad.
Dark dealings from the street that is Tufton
Mini-budgets, Liz Truss, there’s more harm done
Lord of the Week, Tory speak
Whips suspended each week
Corruption, corruption, corruption!

Must Listen
Crackling and cackling. Women who do politics, know their stuff and are hilarious and acerbic. Essential listening.

The Trawl
I just listened to this for the first time and it’s addictive as it’s just like listening to a couple of old women leaning over a fence smoking fags while drinking Gin. I could easily drink their bath water although it would probably kill me. but I love them both❤️❤️ great podcast and love it

My Favourite Podcast
I listen to a few different podcasts and I enjoy them : Visible Women, Full Disclosure, Byline Times and others but this one is my absolute favourite.
I love listening to two intelligent women discussing the state of country with both seriousness and a light sprinkling of wit. Marina and Jemma make me smile and laugh and help me feel a little less bleak. I love the format and regular features - Looord of the Weeek, underrated tweet, and the pudding. I also love those moments when they mention tweets I have read and I can nod along pretending to be clever.
Please do listen to this. It’s like sunshine on a rainy day.

Much better than
Much better than professional brown nose Piers Morgan. This is actually worth listening to.

Quality politics
Cathartic look at the week’s news through the lens of twitter- great listen
2022-09-27
Posh but with a common heart
A good mix of everything from political satire to interesting accidents with flat pack furniture, well worth a listen.
2022-09-27
Living for these podcasts right now!
The trawl has literally become the highlight of my week, if you can listen to this without laughing out loud about the endless black hole that our politics have become, then you need to get your thinkie tankie friends to publicly fund a new sense of humour for you

The best Podcast in 2022
A mixture of being serious & the hosts self deprecating humour makes this a must listen to podcast. They seem to know what the nation is thinking & speak openly & honestly about the current political climate in the UK.
This podcast is a light in these dark times in the UK.

It makes me laugh cry
This is the podcast equivalent of screaming into the void. Brilliantly entertaining, funny and totally on the nose. The hosts say out loud all the things swirling in my head and also digs out the best tweets so I don’t have to. I’ve listened to every episode and will continue to do so.
2022-09-26
Superb
Absolutely wonderful ,very very funny.Recently discovered these two .Love their politics and humour.
2022-09-25
No Subtext
Don’t scream into the void by yourself. The podcast which tells it how it is - no subtext
2022-09-17
Brilliant, brilliant, bang on and hilarious.
Only political podcast that makes me think and piss myself too.

Trawl poscast
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant from start to finish and one of the few shows that make me laugh and cry simultaneously. 👍🏼

Unimpressed
TL;DR The first few mins were such tripe, I switched off. Recommend listening to ‘Oh God, What Now’ instead.
First, in fairness I should say that I didn’t get very far with this, since after 5 mins I switched off (but then as newspaper columnists have known for years, you need to get your readers’ attention in the first 2 paras, or you have lost them; they just move on to something else).
But in those 5 minutes I felt that I was eavesdropping on a group of friends talking about themselves. For example:
One of them was to have interviewed Kier Starmer. We hear about her anticipation; her disappointment at the interview not proceeding; her feelings as Starmer comes over to shake her hand. Nothing on Starmer.
Then we move to her colleague who proceeds to recount the breakfast conversation with her family, whether raisins are pointless, being inside vs outside London in the event of nuclear war.
By this time, the 5 minute mark had been reached and nothing had been said of any interest to anyone outside their circle of immediate friends & family.
Possibly it got better later on. But first 2 paragraphs…
For an example of how to get this sort of thing right, listen to ‘Oh God, What Now’, which never fails to entertain.

The best
Found this by accident when looking for podcasts by The Liver King. This is much better and is now my favourite, alongside The Rest Is Politics. Can’t stop laughing. And there are no ads. Hope they grow big enough to attract ads and can then launch their own television channel.

@TheToryLady
Thank you so much for the shout out for the interviews in Cheltenham. I am presently considering where best to next engage Tory politicians, members and voters to allow these little heard gems to express their views so openly. All suggestions welcome. The hill interviews are on Twitter @TheToryLady

Just Fabulous
Thankyou ladies, these Podcasts are brilliant. Fantastic content, delivers with humour and sincerity. I just wish that they were more frequent than once a week. More power to your elbows, keep it up please!

Great but beware the hard left
Excellent Tory bashing podcast (with style). Marred slightly by a tendency to agree uncritically sometimes with some of those pro Corbyn/Putin dinosaurs of the Hard Left. Remember those types don’t want Labour to be in power. They want Glorious Defeat with added ‘Traitors’. They always give gifts to the Tories it’s what they do
2022-08-04
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
In a politically miserable and depressing world Jemma and Marina find shards of light to bring hope, smiles and even belly laughs. Seriously funny is hard to do, but these smart women pull it off brilliantly. My new must-listen to save me from amitriptyline or the gin bottle.
2022-08-02
Addictive
Absolutely amazing podcast and must listen every week both Jemma and Marina are knowledgeable and passionate about the country and the state of it currently under this Tory government. I look forward to hearing what these two amazing women have to say each episode and I am indebted to them for trawling through the absolute cesspit that is Twitter on a daily basis 👍🏻

Great fun on serious issues
This is a light and fun way to get into serious topics of UK politics. Presenters are fun and smart and enjoyable to join!

Wow
Absolutely brilliant

Love!
Have followed both on twitter for ages, loving this new joint venture picking out the ‘highlight’ tweets each week! Short, sharp and funny, highly recommend 😂
