Whether it’s Hillary Clinton sharing risotto recipes on a private server or Donald Trump spending 24 hours a day with a mentally unstable aide who has no security clearance, both candidates presented grave national security risks.

The best under-the-radar drama TV show on Netflix
One of the best crime drama I’ve seen in years uses restraint, suspense, and a fantastic cast to keep you hooked.

If you're looking for something new to stream, I recommend a Netflix limited series called "Legends." I'll tell you about it here: harrisonline.com/review-legen...

THE BETRAYER up to number two in True Crime, ahead of some bloke called John Grisham. Largely thanks to the runaway success of @neilforsyth.bsky.social superbly crafted TV series LEGENDS; if you haven't seen it yet, you must. I can't begrudge @praddenkeefe.bsky.social the top spot, he's brilliant.

Reading 'The Betrayer' by Guy Stanton and @petemilo.bsky.social - book that inspired Netflix' Legends. Fascinating detail about #HMCE Investigation Division, the varied attempts to develop undercover training, and the fiendish tests that the real Stanton was put through.

Crafted by screenwriter Neil Forsyth ('The Gold', 'Guilt'), it will star the brilliant Tom Burke as Guy, alongside great actors like Steve Coogan and Hayley Squires. The trailer should drop shortly and Neil is such a classy writer that I am sure he has done the story justice. Can’t wait to see it!

It has been a wait but at last I can spill exciting news. Six years ago, I sat down with investigator Guy Stanton to pen THE BETRAYER, his story of an HM Customs undercover unit set up to penetrate the drug world. Today I can reveal it has inspired a major Netflix series that will stream on May 7.
A picture showing six of the cast of LEGENDS, including Tom Burke, Steve Coogan and Hayley Squires.

Yes, without actually even stating what the prpblem is. If there were specific breaches of the Representation of the People Act they would surely have said so, and used the appropriate terminology? Instead they appear to have invented a vague term with no legal definition. To what end?

Peter Walsh @petemilo.bsky.social · 28/03/2026
Was the term "family voting" invented by Democracy Volunteers? And if so, why? It is not a UK official or legal term nor in common usage, and Google Trends worldwide shows very little use of it apart from a brief spike in autumn 2024 and a much bigger one around the G+D byelection. It's very odd.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right.

"I’m still wearing a B-cup but it is a lot more snug and I realise I should have been wearing an A-cup before. "Panic sets in. What if my breasts don’t stop growing? But after ten days the growth grinds to a halt ..." No wonder journos skip this bit. I mean, what do you say?

Peter Walsh @petemilo.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Bit more than "it seemed to work". To quote: "I measure my bust after three days. I’ve grown from a 32in chest to 34in. "Three days later, my chest measures 35in. Another three days and I’m 36in."

Peter Walsh @petemilo.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
Just puzzles me that objectively the most remarkable "line" in the story - the reporter says it actually worked - is NEVER discussed. Because then Zack P critics might have to admit that if that's not true then maybe none of it can be relied on. But if she told the truth about that, then ... ?
000
Peter Walsh @petemilo.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
I don't see anyone making that argument. You wrote "he actually tried to do it!" According to the story, he actually did it. Do you think the story is all untrue or just partly untrue? Why do you choose to believe some bits but not others? Do you have any evidence or just personal incredulity?

Peter Walsh @petemilo.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
You've missed out the bit where the reporter said it worked and even gives measurements. Seems odd that no journalist is ever curious enough to follow that up. Did she imagine it worked? Was she lying (libellous)? Did she unconsciously change posture? Come on super-journos, follow up and find out.

The hometown newspaper that I read as a teenager through Watergate and Vietnam and made me crave the life of a reporter is now being butchered by a billionaire who had $75 million to bribe and flatter a president and his wife but nothing to save journalism, an bulwark of the republic itself.
