I don't see how Cat can win from here. It must have been obvious that the producers wouldn't have chosen three men to be traitors. David surely would have had that thought.
My view, it’s 100% up to David now that Joe’s going all in on the “I’m faithful, so’s Nick, Alan and Cat are traitors”. There’s nothing to stop eg Cat coming to him with a similar proposition, and then whichever pairing he goes with wins.
EXCLUSIVE: I have polling for #CelebrityTraitors final commissioned, by IPSOS.
51% of Britons think The Faithfuls will win.
38% think The Traitors will win.
11% Don't know.

Can we stop with the 'barbs'? Strange journalese that seems to have become the default for politicians saying mean things about each other. No one says 'barbs' in real life.

It would be nice if the Tory party could clarify if it wants to deport my 72 year old mum.
Slightly confusing briefing with Badenoch's spokesman & a Tory press person on their/Katie Lam's migration plans. Here's what I could follow:
• Tory policy on revoking indefinite leave to remain is "broadly in line with what Katie said" (they "haven't seen" her idea it's extended to EU nationals) ..

This is basically my dream job, so no shade towards the business pages from me, but as a former PM wouldn't you hold out for, you know, the main comment pages? I guess Business gives him more scope to be nerdy.

I've been blaming memes for this, and I think it fits. A lot of the angriest people out there aren't actually consuming news, they're consuming news-flavored content, and the content is a funhouse mirror version of reality that they're mistaking for being real.
