Just watched the first episode of Celebrity Traitors, having never watched the show before, for discourse participation purposes. The format seems a bit… half-baked? It’s like someone took The Mole (which is the best game show ever made), and made it… worse.

The Mole (UK) Series 1 Episode 1

Treat yourself to ten hours of watching the best game show in a 240p VHS rip. youtu.be/NNET4YQZC2E?...

In The Mole, one player is secretly trying to sabotage the prize pot, and everyone has to figure out who they are. The money-raising games are not completely disconnected - the Mole can sabotage them! Traitors is just… two completely separate shows mashed together.

Cheers! That's what we're going for.

That's outrageously expensive. Whenever I renew I go to a physical shop and claim their rival just offered me a new deal that was absurdly cheaper to see how low I can push them.

Interesting that Polanski’s conference speech appears to forego an opportunity to call for a wealth tax, and instead calls for a slightly-more-plausible windfall tax on profits.

I think Zack Polanski was designed in a lab to annoy me.

The greatest service Keir Starmer did the Labour party was to drive the anti-Semitic left out of the Labour party. He deserves immense credit for that. The Greens welcoming them with open arms was absolutely always going to prove a disastrous decision

The least memorable will surprise you (because you've never heard of them).

My Burnham speech take, digging into some of the policy specifics.

The real danger was that before I realised the incident was over, my finger was hovering over the “go live” button on Substack and I would have attempted to report live from the scene like a Gen-Z would.

A member of St Pancras staff told me it was a suspicious vehicle though that’s obviously unverified by me and this was just the guy in the hi-vis telling people which way to go.

Incident now appears to be over. Police have disappeared, tape has gone. People heading into previously closed area.

Police officer just told me (this is unverified by me) all of St Pancras currently closed.

2120

Huge swathe of St Pancras / Kings Cross has been closed off by police. St Pancras entrances blocked. Cordon just got moved up and we were told to move further up the road so not over yet I guess.

I heard one thing loud and clear in Andy Burnham's landmark speech: we need to liberate the Postcode Address File.

Plus the one thing that was inexplicably missing.

I don't want to harsh anyone's buzz as Andy Burnham gave a reasonably good speech, but the reaction on here is so breathless it makes it sound like he gave the Gettysburg Address.

Happy birthday to my YIMBY Pod co-host and Britain’s youngest Jag owner, @mjrobbins.com!

"There's one final thing we need to change if our plan for Britain is succeed," Burnham said, inexplicably not then going on to talk about the Postcode Address File.

Looking forward to local authorities buying and building homes with all of that spare money they have.

"Hope Again" is surely a coded reference to a plan to free the Postcode Address File.
