Haha, so true. Rupert Brooke twirling out of Studio 54 at 2am, that's Stephen #TheTraitors

What age are some people letting kids watch Stranger Things?

Stephen was a great contestant. But also the daily game of betting whether he would be dressed as a) a suspect in a seaside Poirot mystery, b) Christopher Robin, or c) ABBA. #thetraitors

I love Stephen. The face of a doomed WW1 officer and the wardrobe of John Travolta. #thetraitors

I thought we all knew that Rachel was bullshitting about the FBI training, no? #thetraitors

There’s a lot of chat about how much the producers of #TheTraitors manipulate the cast - and they do… But they manipulate the audience so much more with the edit. It’s striking watching Uncloaked about how clear all of the cast are on the reality that happened, and it’s like Rashomon for us.

Jack finds out who the Traitors were and is like a footballer giving a post match interview Faraaz finding out who the Traitors were:

Phenomenal play from Rachel and Stephen. They’ve absolutely smashed it. Just great gameplay, and still as tense as anything. #TheTraitors

#TheTraitors have done it. Unless… It’s a lot of money isn’t it?

I love Stephen. The face of a doomed WW1 officer and the wardrobe of John Travolta. #thetraitors

A friend of mine coined Faraazatha Christie and I felt you all need to know about it #thetraitors

This is better than so many dramas - I have no idea where this is going or how it will play out, and the central characters are compelling, Incredible stuff #thetraitors

You just know that this bunch of Faithfuls are going to completely miss Rachel’s slip #TheTraitors

Andor fans watching the #traitors final and seeing that dam

Cough #traitors

If the #traitors want to win, they have to try and get Jade out as she is likely to have heat, and then they need to pick someone to vote out. Worst case scenario, it comes down to chance. But, undoubtedly, Stephen’s best strategy is betrayal…

Rachel just now #traitors

Crikey - The Traitors is really ramping up the stakes

I know some people are cynical about everything now and just say “eh, what do you expect” at every new low, but really this is just astonishing and outrageous, and I don’t think we should shrug at that www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

My son can identify giraffes, cheetahs and tigers - but a lion is always “a lion king”. Huge soft power for Pride Rock.

The Burnham thing could be spectacular A man tries to return based on an over-inflated ego And is stopped by a PM convinced he is facing a mortal threat Thus causing total psychodrama While, in truth, there was never much support for a Burnham challenge in the first place

Friday’s @thetimes.com cartoon times.newsprints.co.uk/morten-morla...

“Says”? Did he do this at a seance?

The Bond markets are in hock to Andy Burnham

Not been able to get to the cinema much at all, but isn’t F1 for Best Picture a bit of a shock? #oscars

Labour MP messages to say that they are worried about what a mayoral election in Manchester could do if Burnham leaves for Westminster. Also says that the idea Burnham has a groundswell of support in the PLP is “absurd” “He doesn’t engender confidence or have credibility”

The government of Iceland listening to this speech

Trump stopping his Davos speech to do a shoutout to Secretary General of NATO

I think Trump just said he solved a war which involved Abba.

Evergreen, every time he speaks

Trump saying that when Denmark fell to Nazi Germany, the USA stepped in to defend Greenland. And they did... just two short years later.

Trump speaks with the exact delivery of someone giving a self-indulgent retirement speech. It’s soporific but you know you can’t stop it.

Trump on Venezuelan oil production: “We appreciated all the co-operation… once the attack ended.”

Keir Starmer My stock portfolio 🤝 Not yielding

I think there is a really interesting (to me at least) thought experiment about how far you would go if you were Reform/Farage when it cames to accepting defectors into the fold. Truss is apparently out, but what about Johnson? Or May? Or Cameron? Or Cummings? (Endorsements quite separate of course)

Here’s the inside story of the Farage/Truss lunch, in today’s @timesdiary www.thetimes.com/article/019b...

I’m told that other thirtysomethings have “days off” which don’t end like this, but I struggle to believe it

Jenrick’s media plan…. Sure his ego and Farage’s will get along just fine

Now we are two. Happy Birthday little 🐻

Manchester United

Had the great pleasure of interviewing the Horrible Histories author Terry Deary for @thetimes.com Here he is on Terrible Traitors, being anti-establishment and forgiving his teachers 75 years on www.thetimes.com/article/f488...

So he’s modest too

“Good news lads. I threatened my niece with a cessation of chocolate, and now I finally have a licence to use an ink pen.”

So the message of this press conference is that Robert Jenrick thinks the Tory party killed Britain, but he might have stayed in it had Kemi Badenoch not read his secret speech.

Sure Jenrick's name check of the lesser spotted Suella Braverman won't have gone unnoticed by Tory whips

Today is National Pothole Day. It started off as a small celebration but now it’s hard to avoid.

It is a grad tax, and a regressive one. Wealthier students never had to take out the loans.

Now it’s official - chief whip has kicked Jenrick out of the Tory WhatsApp group

Jenrick in Reform is interesting - doesn’t strike me as someone who likes playing second fiddle. Farage not someone who much likes having any other fiddles.
