Love that the producers keep pushing “seduce” as the operative word for recruiting a traitor and everyone has just silently agreed that is not it #TheTraitors

Sam having a go at James for revealing that he and Adam don’t have a shield because… of the way that Sam and Adam reacted to the news there were two shields taken in their team. Like dude, the problem there was your reaction (to losing just £1k from total prize pot) #TheTraitors

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.

No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait

WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

A new element in this anecdote. You don’t ‘banter’ with a 9 year old at 17. This is racism + cowardly bullying.

Yet again ridiculously evident that former Oxford University Conservative Association chair Nick Robinson absolutely hates taxation, his voice dripping in contempt with one loaded question after another. Really poor attempt at neutrality on a flagship BBC programme.

The great thing about delaying hard decisions is that you never have to make them and it all turns out fine in the end (Ed - pls check).

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*

"I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

Just thinking about Celebrity Traitors last night and the fact that if they’d been on that train just 10 seconds longer the scenes would have been horrific. Massive relief all round I imagine, it would have put a serious crimp on what has otherwise been a very successful series.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social quoted on BBC radio news responding to Rachel Reeves budget hints and NOT quoting Nigel Farage????

Is that the sound of the Overton window shifting?

Oh and now they're doing a long voice clip from Yaxley-Lennon.
Steps forward, step backwards...

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

More good news for the Chancellor ahead of the budget next month!

Here we have an actual and workable wealth tax...which is raising more tax than expected.
Well would you look at that

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

if that HIGNFY Euan Blair fuckup had been about a right-winger it'd have had full front-page scandal coverage in the Mail followed by frontpage coverage across the board for the next week, days of "BBC in crisis" headline coverage by the BBC, and parliamentary questions about Tim Davie's future
