Love how paranoid everyone is getting; something about Jerry calling James "James A" is really getting me. Hannah and James are basically playing as faithful, Maya having to goad them into doing anything #TheTraitors #CelebrityTraitors #TraitorsUK

Bella upset, Julie calling herself power mad, James wanting Blunt dead because he doesn't like people confusing them, Richard E Grant forgetting he was on Off Menu in front of Ed Gamble #TheTraitors #CelebrityTraitors #TraitorsUK

Captain Blunty taking charge. Oh Myha'la has sacrificed herself. Ross living in medieval times, Myha'la slowly realising she's under fire, Rob trying the say yes to everything strategy, Hannah using faithful tactics #TheTraitors #TraitorsUK #CelebrityTraitors

70's Hammer is either bizarre experimentalism or stuff that felt dated on arrival

Agree with this from Tristan; the lesson cannot be burn everything down or scrap internal democracy, it has to be about actual educating and organising and not treating conference like an afterthought

Deeply frustrated by all this, I worry that it's split the party for no good reason, and it's time we could have spent dealing with more practical issues

Ross looked like his life was flashing before his eyes; Hannah fuming, getting screwed over by sheer fluke, Richard struggling to defend himself #celebritytraitors #thetraitors #traitorsuk

Incredible first episode, Richard E Grant is happier than anyone ever has been #celebritytraitors #thetraitors

He'll be stuck in the Fry/Ross role whether he likes it or not

Grant, Kemp and Ramsey maybe?

The bit where they come up with a way in which Ben Reilly and Peter Parker can be one and the same person, in a way thar more or less makes sense, only for that idea to be immediately nixed is astonishing

Absolutely deranged #snluk episode, Harry Kane down the sewers, wax museum, jorts, house on fire, that Weekend Update, then Freddie Meredith torturing himself for our amusement

Bit of a mixed bag that episode, but that final sketch was one of the most specific things they've ever done #snluk

Remember when she went on TV and implied that Imane Khelif was secretly trans?

The levels of clownery going on here are honestly unmatched
Galloway framed his candidacy as a direct challenge to Polanski. Speaking on his talk show Galloway cited Polanki's support for Ukraine an his position on trans rights among the reasons h would oppose him. Later in the show, Galloway said he supports Russia's war on Ukraine as par of "a wider anti-imperialist, anti-colonialist framework"
Galloway is living in what he has described as
"self-imposed exile" in Russia, after he and his wife Putri Gayatri Pertiwi were questioned by counter-terror police at Gatwick airport in September. The former MP has pledged to take legal action against the Met police over the incident.

Solid episode, not the best but Fouracres fantastic throughout, CMAT brilliant, King Kong sketch worth it just for the ludicrous "twas bisexuality killed the beast" punchline #snluk

Very irritated that plenty of rumours were allowed to spread for several days

I think that was obvious that that wasn't true

Well I'm glad that's been made clear!

Yes that's my thinking too, the opportunity for sustained action. Which intervention was the most telling in your opinion?

I honestly don't know, although it does sound like at least some of the wider council were present. @sallonsax.bsky.social ?

I agree, I just have no idea what the legal situation is, especially as it sounds like disciplinary proceedings had been initiated before he was elected chair

James Whitaker @jwhitaker1.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Yeah, I think he was saying you couldn't take action against anyone simply for being GC, unless they were explicitly bullying and harassing people in a transphobic way

James Whitaker @jwhitaker1.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Alex Sallons in the other place is claiming that in all the years he's known him he's never said anything transphobic, he's never said anything positive about GC people or their organisations at all
