Political Traitors: Who can you trust?

Sam reveals there might be some Traitors-style plotting going on behind the scenes in government – but from who? And how might Sir Keir Starmer see off this challenge?

Budget speculation continues, and specifically – who is and is not a “working person”? And, should it occur, what would the consequences be of breaking a manifesto commitment? How perilous a moment for Starmer could this be?

And after the BBC’s director general and CEO of news resign, what does Starmer now say about the organisation? And who will come next in the top BBC job?

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
