The political news at the moment is hard to keep up with… but Q to politicos out there: why doesn’t #Starmer elevate #Burnham to the Lords and then bring him into Cabinet - as MHCLG? Also neutralises any potential leadership bid, as Lords can’t be PM. #UKPolitics #UKGovernment

Amazing news that 16- and 17-year-olds will be able to vote in the next #GeneralElection! www.gov.uk/government/n... But, already loads of vile comments piling in (see screenshots) — *this* is what adults in our society think about young people’s capacities & competence — makes me furious! 🤬

Interesting to see Government bringing forward legislation to abolish the #LocalGov committee system, instead in favour of the Leader and Cabinet system (and preferring Mayors only for regional government as part of further devolution plans). questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-stat...

In 2020 just 47% of children felt involved in decisions about their care in hospital. In 2024 this increased to: 🔹 81% aged 8–11 🔹 87% aged 12–15 Still work to do, but this is a HUGE step in the right direction! #CareQualityCommission #Participation #ChildRights www.cqc.org.uk/press-releas...

Screenshot with a picture of a smiling nurse and child in hospital. Text: Children and families help share future care. Posted Thursday, 22nd May by Hannah Crouch. Parents have said that they feel their children have been well-cared for in our hospitals, with the majority saying that they are treated with dignity and respect by staff.

Ok, so Frankie could reveal all, or could keep it from the group until the end… then win the cash? And/Or Charlotte could try and maintain she’s a faithful, and Frankie’s a lying Traitor? OOFT this is good. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

OMG. She’s gone with Charlotte. This is WILD. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Alexander or Charlotte… Both make good choices. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Logically, Freddie (a traitor) voted for Charlotte — so it would surely, objectively, be logical? #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Not fully sure I get how the Seer mechanics work… But I’m here for it #TheTraitors

010

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

And it’s BIG. Has Freddie just transparently thrown Charlotte under the bus? #TheTraitors

030

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Freddie’s out. But if he votes for Charlotte, that’ll be BIG. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Freddie’s just screwed himself. Superb work from Frankie for getting that out on the table! #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Will Freddie and Charlotte inadvertently reveal each other? #TheTraitors

000

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Alexander’s reason for supporting Frankie is sound — i.e. giving the person he trusts the most the power to learn he, too, is faithful. Bless him. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

What if they banish the person who is the Seer? #TheTraitors

000

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Biggest risk here is Freddie and Charlotte voting squarely for each other. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Aww Alexander and Frankie’s friendship is super cute #Frankander #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Frankie, Freddie or Leanne as Seer … surely? #TheTraitors

Oh Alexander… helping Frankie. Bless his cottons #TheTraitors

A traitor could reveal a faithful and claim (truthfully) that the person said they were a faithful, therefore implying both are faithful.

The identity of The Seer not being secret changes things a bit, but since traitors can be The Seer that means the ability for traitors to lie about their reveal is retained. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Not sure I understand how the Seer power works though… Like, will everyone know who gets the power? Surely not? #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Alexander is playing the right game — listening, observing, reading. Hope he nails it and unleashes it all at the roundtable. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Charlotte being all of a sudden engaged and vocal is surely suspect? #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Credit to Freddie for sussing Charlotte immediately. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

OH straight in there, Leanne revealing Charlotte knew. #TheTraitors

020

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Risky game! Would just take one person to reveal to Freddie that Charlotte knew Leanne had the shield… and he could turn the tables… #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

In news that shocks nobody… Joe had absolutely zero idea Minah was a traitor. 😂 #TheTraitorsUncloaked

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

I think there’s a good chance Freddie will see through Charlotte’s manipulation… and then throw her to the wolves. #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Ok, so Charlotte’s gameplay is strong here — withholding Leanne’s shield from Freddie. Ooft. #TheTraitors

040

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Now…will Freddie up turn the whole game, and win it? #TheTraitors

000

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Freddie? Really? He’s so obviously in the firing line, what a weird decision. Because he could go down fighting and take Charlotte with him. #TheTraitors

000

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Will she recruit Leanne? She’s disclosed she’s got the shield, so it could be a good gameplay #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant @joshharsant.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

Did Leanne just inadvertently nail Charlotte? 🤦‍♂️ #TheTraitors
