Wrote on Traitors racism, and how I think the show could remedy the problem independent.co.uk/arts-enter…

People of colour keep leaving Traitors early. We need to talk about why

Yet again, minority ethnic players are being booted off in the early stages of ‘The Traitors’. Micha Frazer-Carroll looks at why this is becoming a bleakly predictable pattern

How did we end up like this? How does she think this is a decent thing to say? I was always taught that you judge someone not by the colour of their skin, the accent they speak with or their gender but according to the strength of their character

DWP lies exposed as it comes out it is cutting Access to Work. ⁦@UKLabour⁩ keep giving us more reasons not to support them. Timms and Reeves are despicable. thecanary.co/uk/news/2025/10…

DWP lies exposed as minister admits they're cutting Access to Work

The DWP has repeatedly denied it's cutting Access to Work - but an admission from a minister has now revealed the truth

Please do not snatch failure from the jaws of success. @jeremycorbyn @zarahsultana You two should be seen to be joined at the hip or this will fall apart as quickly as it began. Bickering in public makes it looks like you couldn't find your arses with both hands.

Labour is playing into the hands of Reform. We need an alternative that can fix the housing crisis, end child poverty and bring about the real change this country deserves.

Everyone knows about the macho boys’ club Starmer surrounds himself with. So it’s no surprise to see vile, misogynistic comments from one of his top aides. This Labour government is rotten to the core. Solidarity always with my friend @HackneyAbbott ❤️
