Episode Is This... Hope? Labour Conference, Ireland's Stand-Off & Reform's Balls-Up
Jemma and Marina hit Labour conference with Andy Burnham's speech: social care, "Your First Home" and the triple lock. Both have opinions and neither can quite agree on how many pensioners will turn up with pitchforks. Plus Shabana Mahmood reads the room, and Jemma and Marina ask whether this is actual hope or just adrenaline and conference biscuits.
Then to Reform, where a council has decided the best way to help women and girls is to close all ten of its nurseries, leaving 402 children and 116 staff in the lurch.
Then football. One hotel-room summit, 160+ athlete signatures, one player who wouldn't play and a 3-0 win in black armbands. Jemma and Marina on the most dramatic day in Irish football, and why the Irish lead on Palestine.
Plus: Ash Sarkar's Question Time moment and why Marina has notes, the underrated tweets (featuring the Grand Designs caravan), and Marina's David Dickinson tan.
