Celebrity Traitors review: Why TV's biggest phenomenon is still impossible to resist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Celebrity Traitors, BBC One, Thursday A career-maker, a ratings juggernaut, the last chance to save the licence fee: it is a lot of pressure to pile on a souped-up game of Cluedo, but the hype is almost justified when it comes to The Celebrity Traitors. Many hopes are riding on the new series being as record-breaking as the last, when 15 million watched comedian Alan Carr triumph as a Traitor.

As the former FM herself said, the country would have to be in a dreadful way for such a pairing to happen. We’re talking last people on Earth here. The actual, or rather make-believe, situation is a Russian attack on the UK. It is this, we are led to believe, that prompts the likes of Sturgeon, Gove, Jim Murphy and Penny Mordaunt to form a c
Stop demonising independence supporters, says former Gordon Brown aide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A former aide to Gordon Brown has attacked Scottish Labour for failing to learn from its defeats at the hands of the SNP. Scottish Labour must stop "demonising" voters considering independence and offer a positive alternative to the SNP, former adviser Ayesha Hazarika has said. Now a Labour peer, Hazarika spoke to The Herald on the eve of Scottish Labour announcing its latest new leader. “Like so many of my friends and colleagues, I feel absolutely heartbroken at the fact that Scottish Labour ha
