Trump's having quite the week... He's been defeated by algae (sabotage, obviously), couldn't do up a medal ribbon, got blanked by every world leader at the G7, and then signed what experts are calling a catastrophic Iran deal — in the actual room in Versailles where Germany surrendered after WWI. The pure poetry of it all!

Meanwhile Meloni delivers the clapback of the century ("neither I nor Italy ever beg" - Jemma wants it on a t-shirt, immediately), the Strait of Hormuz closes approximately twelve minutes after a ceasefire, and the UN confirms genocide in Gaza. Plus underrateds, Marina making the case for a fifth Trawl, Jemma back on the dating apps for the 98th time, and Jonathan Pie for pudding.

Stay hydrated, Trawlers!

A pub in Bethnal Green looked up, clocked who'd walked in, and collectively decided: not here, love. Katie Hopkins was shown the door. She did not go gracefully. Marina and Jemma are delighted - but one pub doing the right thing doesn't mean the country is...

This week they unpick what feels like a genuine shift: Elon Musk platforming Tommy Robinson, Lord Hannan's baffling racist football tweet, Rupert Lowe's crowdfunded grooming gangs report, and an attack on Muslim men in Edinburgh. All connected.

Plus: schools melting, the Mooch Trawl Meets incoming, and a woman who ate Pringles horizontally for two days and went viral.

Nigel Farage gets caught recycling an old England supporter photo, proving once again that authenticity isn't really his game. The Trawl ladies revel in a glorious montage of his Question Time appearances, hear James O'Brien's disbelief and ask why politicians always seem to own a fancy-dress box full of high-vis jackets and football shirts.

Elsewhere, the political landscape shifts dramatically as Keir Starmer resigns, prompting a look at what his leadership leaves behind and what comes next, with Wes Streeting, Angela Rayner and Zack Polanski all entering the conversation.

Plus: Ian Wright says what we're all thinking about Trump's America hosting the World Cup, Emma Hayes delivers a masterclass in a set that looks suspiciously like a kitchen. Jemma and Marina appreciate the internet's latest football crush, enjoy an Australian chant that deserves a place in the terraces hall of fame, and finish with a pudding guaranteed to send you off smiling.

Politics, football and the internet at their chaotic best, it's all in today's Trawl.
