The Trawl Drop-In: Farage's Tumbleweed Conference. Empty Chairs & Sweaty Palms 😂
2026-11-02
Nigel Farage has spent years telling us that the British people are behind him. So imagine his surprise when he turns up to unveil Reform's big economic rescue plan and discovers that some are indeed sitting behind him, only no one's sitting in front of him.
Jemma and Marina revel in Farage addressing rows of empty chairs, blaming his staff for the distinctly underwhelming turnout and watching Robert Jenrick clap enthusiastically in what looks increasingly like a very awkward job interview.
Then there's the spectacularly flat attempt at humour and Reform's exciting new plan to bring back imperial measurements. Because apparently what Britain really needs is more inches.
Reform's much-trumpeted momentum is beginning to look a little less unstoppable.
A glorious feast of schadenfreude. And the Trawl ladies aren't even pretending to be impartial about it.

The Trawl is the podcast that dives headfirst into the political chaos, media spin, and social media absurdity of the week - so you don’t have to.
Hosted by broadcasters and political commentators, Jemma Forte and Marina Purkiss, it’s part therapy, part takedown, and always unfiltered.
Each episode, Jemma and Marina trawl through the week’s most viral tweets, jaw-dropping headlines, and rage-inducing soundbites - offering sharp analysis, dark humour, and the occasional expletive. From Westminster to world affairs, they call out hypocrisy, amplify truth, and remind you that you’re not losing your mind - just living through it.
If you’ve ever shouted at the news or laughed through the tears, The Trawl is your people.
