Isn't it interesting how Sunak's wife and extended family, benefit so often from various government enterprises and grants. Marina and Jemma ponder the latest revelations from Byline and The Times and conclude that, just perhaps, the PM isn't in office 'just' to serve the people. *Scratch chins/give knowing looks*. Then, to the strikes. Which ones you cry? Fair question, it's hard to keep track. But in this ep it's the nurses and The Trawl has produced some clips which are well worth a listen. Pat Cullen, who represents the Royal College of Nursing, is convinced the Health Sec is telling porkies for instance. But the latter half of this Trawl is dominated (as is the British press and media and social media) by the Coronation and the chaos surrounding it. The Mail are desperate for us all to pledge allegiance to the King. Jemma and Marina laugh their way through some pretty astonishing clips and aren't totally convinced that standing on a roundabout for hours on end, or lying in the Mall is necessarily their idea of fun. But hey, each to their own.... Thank you for sharing and do tweet us @MarinaPurkiss @jemmaforte @TheTrawlPodcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Elizabeth McGovern was Oscar nominated for her portrayal of Evelyn Nesbit in Ragtime and, by the age of 21, had played leading roles in Once Upon A Time In America followed by The Handmaid's Tale and The Wings of the Dove. She is probably best known though for playing Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey. She is now on stage starring in Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The actress and musician joins Jessica to discuss her varied career so far and what drew her to the role of Martha. A misconduct hearing today will formally dismiss David Carrick from the Metropolitan Police, after he admitted twenty-four counts of rape and multiple sexual assaults. Carrick was finally stopped when one woman reported him in October 2021. Sir Mark Rowley, the Met Commissioner, has apologised to Carrick's victims, and says the force is currently also investigating 1,000 sexual and domestic abuse claims involving about 800 of its officers. Jessica is joined to discuss by Shabnam Chaudhri, who served as an officer in the Met for 30 years. Tomorrow will see the start of a second round of strikes by the Royal College of Nursing. The RCN says that this will be the biggest walkout so far, affecting 55 trusts in England - that's 11 more than last month. They are calling for a pay rise of 5% above inflation, with inflation currently sitting at 14%. The government says the demands are unaffordable and pay rises were decided by independent pay review bodies. NHS staff in England and Wales - including nurses - have already received an average increase of 4.75%. The union says that there will be a further two strikes in February in England and Wales, unless there is movement on pay by the end of this month. Pat Cullen is the General Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal College of Nursing, and joins Jessica.

Emma Barnett is joined by the queen of the kitchen disco herself, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and comedian Ania Magliano to discuss the joy of losing yourself on the dancefloor.
