Harry & Meghan, Rain, Ukraine & The GB Press Outrage Machine

This week on the Trawl, the rain finally arrives and apparently that's the cue for the water companies to start dumping sewage, for the right-wing press to blame Muslims for our water shortages, and everyone to start shouting about everything.

Marina and Jemma look at Reform's recent setbacks, its curious approach to free speech, Andy Burnham's surprisingly punchy trip to Ukraine, and the extraordinary media frenzy over Harry and Meghan returning to Britain. Plus, why the press seem determined to turn every issue into an immigration story, and a sobering look at the treatment of the late academic Jason Arday.

And, naturally, there's a posh person who doesn't think they're posh.

Join us for another trawl through the week's news catch, it's slippery, misshapen and occasionally quite rancid.
