This week on The Trawl, logic takes a holiday and truth is just a vibe.Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte wade into yet another week where the internet resembles less a town square and more a hall of mirrors. There's a man convinced liberals hate breakfast, a woman who's rewriting reality on live radio, and a politician who's untethered from the facts yet remains unchallenged. The ladies begin by talking a look at Thomas Skinner and his mash-based brand of banter, a social media showdown that's pure gravy. Then, Iain Dale's Cross Question serves up some very cross answers which almost (but not quite) drown out an extraordinary statement from Jonathan Gullis.Meanwhile, Reform's Sarah Pochin is spinning baseless scare stories and Nigel Farage is doing his usual fearmongering freestyle.Also in the mix: underrated rants, underrated rage, and a touch of Samuel L. Jackson wisdom to round things off.Truth matters. And if you can't find it in the news, you might just hear it here.Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast***VOTE for us in the Podcast Awards***https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/votingPatreonhttps://patreon.com/TheTrawlPodcastYoutubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheTrawlTwitterhttps://twitter.com/TheTrawlPodcastBlueSkyhttps://bsky.app/profile/thetrawl.bsky.socialCreated and Produced by Jemma Forte & Marina PurkissEdited by Max Carrey

She found that those on the political extremes, as well as those with the most dogmatic beliefs, display more cognitive rigidity. The historian John Rees focuses on the small group of firebrand parliamentarians at the heart of the English Civil Wars. The Fiery Spirits describes how the radical republicans influenced more moderate MPs and led to the defeat, and execution, of Charles I.2025 is the centenary of the birth of Margaret Thatcher and fifty years since she became the first woman to lead a major political party in the UK. The political commentator and broadcaster Iain Dale publishes a biography of her later this year, and questions the role of ideology within Thatcherism. Producer: Katy Hickman
