The political news at the moment is hard to keep up with… but Q to politicos out there: why doesn’t #Starmer elevate #Burnham to the Lords and then bring him into Cabinet - as MHCLG? Also neutralises any potential leadership bid, as Lords can’t be PM. #UKPolitics #UKGovernment

Really looking forward to attending the sold-out #NewFrontiersYouthParticipation @unesco-cfrc.bsky.social conference in June, presenting on #PANELS*. Will be great to catch up with @lauralundy.bsky.social @joshharsant.bsky.social & others. * www.communityactionredbridge.org.uk/panels-project

Excited to be joining this conference in June - to present my #PhD research and findings, and some reflections on implications for practice! Hope to see (some of) you there! 👋 #NewFrontiersYouthParticipation

Amazing news that 16- and 17-year-olds will be able to vote in the next #GeneralElection! www.gov.uk/government/n... But, already loads of vile comments piling in (see screenshots) — *this* is what adults in our society think about young people’s capacities & competence — makes me furious! 🤬

Interesting to see Government bringing forward legislation to abolish the #LocalGov committee system, instead in favour of the Leader and Cabinet system (and preferring Mayors only for regional government as part of further devolution plans). questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-stat...

BREAKING: Donald Trump says he's directing the opening of a detention center at Guantanamo Bay to hold up to 30,000 migrants in the U.S. illegally.

Ok, so Frankie could reveal all, or could keep it from the group until the end… then win the cash? And/Or Charlotte could try and maintain she’s a faithful, and Frankie’s a lying Traitor? OOFT this is good. #TheTraitors

OMG. She’s gone with Charlotte. This is WILD. #TheTraitors

Alexander or Charlotte… Both make good choices. #TheTraitors

Logically, Freddie (a traitor) voted for Charlotte — so it would surely, objectively, be logical? #TheTraitors

Not fully sure I get how the Seer mechanics work… But I’m here for it #TheTraitors

And it’s BIG. Has Freddie just transparently thrown Charlotte under the bus? #TheTraitors

Dr Josh Harsant@joshharsant.bsky.social · 2y ago

Freddie’s out. But if he votes for Charlotte, that’ll be BIG. #TheTraitors

Freddie’s out. But if he votes for Charlotte, that’ll be BIG. #TheTraitors

Freddie’s just screwed himself. Superb work from Frankie for getting that out on the table! #TheTraitors

Will Freddie and Charlotte inadvertently reveal each other? #TheTraitors

Alexander’s reason for supporting Frankie is sound — i.e. giving the person he trusts the most the power to learn he, too, is faithful. Bless him. #TheTraitors

Honestly Claudia is brilliant #TheTraitors

What if they banish the person who is the Seer? #TheTraitors

Biggest risk here is Freddie and Charlotte voting squarely for each other. #TheTraitors

Aww Alexander and Frankie’s friendship is super cute #Frankander #TheTraitors

Frankie, Freddie or Leanne as Seer … surely? #TheTraitors

Oh Alexander… helping Frankie. Bless his cottons #TheTraitors

Love how much Freddie hates dolls #TheTraitors

A traitor could reveal a faithful and claim (truthfully) that the person said they were a faithful, therefore implying both are faithful.
