Description

It's back to school and detention for you!

Jemma and Marina open on the latest batshittery from Britain's strictest headteacher who chose the most bizarre hill of all to die on: the latest Marks & Spencer Christmas advert. 

And thank goodness she did, because your reactions were a joy, which coincidentally is what headteacher Kathrin Birbilsingh appears to be in short supply of. 

Then it's onto the main event: the man who is currently f*cking up Twitter sat down with the man who is currently f*cking up the UK. Sunak interviewed Musk - or rather, Sunak belly-rubbed Musk, in an attempt to secure himself a new job at Musk Towers once the British people boot him out of office. It was a joy to behold.

Things get very profound and thought-provoking with some words from philosopher, Noam Chomsky, before the ladies turn to the Brexit latest. Spoiler: it's grim. 

And if you thought Gordon Ramsey was lacking in self-awareness, then brace yourself for Osborne and Balls as they regale you with a heartwarming tale that saw the Queen's favorite bagpipe schools saved from brutal austerity cuts, but f*ck everyone else who didn't happen to have a queen advocating for them. 

Dorries and the disgraced daughter of Captain Tom Moore are the subject of the underrated tweets, before a superb pudding of Colin from Portsmouth - served up by the super talented Exploding Heads.
