100% Faithful? What The Traitors can teach us about politics

Hit reality TV show The Traitors reveals how great some people are at lying – and how bad others are at detecting it. What lessons can we take from Claudia Winkleman’s backstabbing parlour game about the world of politics? Today in The Bunker, Ahir Shah speaks with The Guardian’s Zoe Williams to find out which of our politicians would flourish or flounder under the pressure.  Stay tuned until after the credits for Ahir’s slightly spoilery final thoughts leading into the final two episodes. • “The very act of honesty has become a badge of shame in modern politics.” – Zoe Williams • “I paused the episode and said to my wife: ‘I think I finally understand how Boris Johnson happened’.” – Ahir Shah Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and Presented by Ahir Shah.
