This week on The Trawl, Jemma and Marina steer through a week where compassion and chaos collided.

From the flotilla of medics, activists and even Greta Thunberg, risking everything to get aid into Gaza, to dockworkers in Genoa refusing to load arms shipments, there are still flashes of humanity in the darkest of times. Hugh Bonneville’s rallying cry, businesses putting morals above profit, and ordinary people prepared to be arrested for protesting against genocide — proof that not everyone in the world is a hideous f@%kwit.

But alas, back home… Labour descends into turmoil with Rayner out and reshuffle chaos in. Clive Lewis nails why so many think “they’re all the same,” while Jemma and Marina discuss how her departure from the upper echelons of cabinet makes them feel. Meanwhile, Farage is busy lecturing Rayner on tax only to get exposed for his own questionable dealings. Quelle surprise.

And then there’s the Reform Party Conference. Andrea Jenkyns makes an entrance that has to be seen to be believed and heard to be horrified. Femi reminds us why the “clowns” are more dangerous than they look, and Paul Mason swoons over the lot of them. Spoiler: it’s terrifying

The Trawl ladies wrap up with Under Rated's and a Larry & Paul pudding to cleanse your palate.

The good, the bad, the ludicrous — it’s all in this episode of The Trawl.
