The Trawl Meets: Jovan Owusu-Nepaul
Jovan stood against Nigel Farage in the last election as the candidate for Labour and sadly lost. At twenty seven years old he's the antithesis of Farage in every way and would certainly have gone about things differently had he won. He would have spent lots of his time in Clacton for instance. But, it wasn't to be and, as Jemma points out, the whole episode will be difficult for right minded voters in Clacton to listen to because the man is an inspiration, a force for good and passionate about affecting change for all the right reasons.
Find out what happened on doorsteps as he campaigned, what his encounters with Farage were like and where he buys his clothes which have even caught the eye of GQ.
Plus, Marina has a prediction. You heard it here first!
Enjoy!

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.
