Progressive foreign policy doesn't have to also be in the British national interest to be the right thing to do.
The problem with the Chagos Island deal is that it's never been articulated how it's either.
This was true before Trump's intervention.

The Brooklyn statement reads like something too detailed and weirdly specific to be made up, because if you did make it up - you wouldn’t make THAT up.

I forgot this is BlueSky so anything other than "Trump is a big old MEANY...and he's orange LOL!" would be considered an unsatisfactory statement.

If gay dramas getting a mainstream audience produces this level of discourse, then I’m really not sure it’s worth it.

Years ago I went on a bit of a Twitter rant about how "podcast" felt like a unnecessary rebranding of "radio show" that just meant listen anytime. In much the same way that Netflix is still "television". A podcast producers got grumpy with me.

The constant debate around employment after Drag Race has an air of entitlement. The US main series alone has had over 225 contestants. No one says "why isn't every America's Next Top Model contestant still working as a model??"
No one says this about ANY other reality show.

Not quite this but I do think a great Series 10 jump the shark, meta moment is that you put in someone who was a researcher on Series 1.
What would be the thing YOU revealed about yourself halfway through The Traitors in an attempt to make yourself look cleverer than you are?
I think mine would be, "I've kept this to myself, but I'm actually an author of popular non-fiction. So I know a thing or two about... the truth."

I’m a development bod through and through but occasionally I get to work on a production and it’s tough but such a joy when I’m working with bloody lovely people. Especially when it’s in the UK with a lot of people I’ve got to know well over last 20 years ❤️ 📺

With Police and Crime Commissioner's being mothballed, it's entirely appropriate that power to sack Chief Constable's is held by the Home Secretary. If not...then who else?

I’m sure that podcast winning all the awards is funny and all, but what does it say about culture in 2026 when a LOT of it is about how great going to bed early is?

Yes but also "ban device audio on trains" came top of popular policy poll and could be brought in overnight but they still don't do it.
There are easy wins.

There's a certain kind of centre-left orthodoxy that basically sees policies 'that the public like', as pragmatic (Labour's radical change of approach at the Home Office, nationalising the railways) and therefore they don't actually get assessed on 'does this work? What is the underlying idea here?'

Because you have the team commentary cams, you don't really need the interviews as well.
If they'd just kept the former, the whole thing could have had more of an as-live feel and not the post-produced reality back-ref thing which I'm not sure works for studio gameshows.
