Imagine having to sit in prison-like environs for two full days cus your boss didn’t like your hair.

The normalisation of this kind of stuff in our schooling system really should be understood as a national scandal

A prominent multi-academy trust has reduced the sanction it enforces when a child arrives with an "inappropriate hairstyle" - though the young person still faces two full days in
"isolation" for this violation of its rules.

● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession.

●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed

● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years

● Sleep well serfs.

● Know your place.

The royal family have known what Andrew is for decades and have been fine with it, so long as it didn't make them look bad.

This is a punishment for being indiscreet enough to be found out, not for what he did.

Abused girls only matter to Charles for the discomfort their suffering may cause him.

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇

1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK

2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves

3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

Keir Starmer tries to look tough - and exposes himself as a coward

The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

'New Perspectives on Gillian Clarke' by Linden Peach is the first extensive examination of Clarke's work published in this century, discussing her as an innovative, politically-alert and scientifically- and cosmologically-aware Welsh writer of global significance.

📚 www.uwp.co.uk/book/new-per...

‘From her first publication in 1970 to the present day, few
poets have contributed as much as Gillian Clarke to Welsh
writing in English. A thorough-going critical account of her
accomplishment has been much needed, and here, at last, we
have it. Linden Peach’s detailed analysis traces her journey
from the pioneering feminist poems of the 1970s to her later
work on climate change, cosmogenesis and pacificism.
Throughout, her rootedness within Welsh culture is
emphasised in a volume which constitutes a vital read for all
those concerned with the development of contemporary poetry.’

Jane Aaron, Emeritus Professor, University of South Wales

Please do have a read of some of David Graeber's words on the policy of Universal Basic Income.

We have got a real problem the way society is
structured. I point this out when we think about the
robots taking our jobs. Why can’t we just redistribute
the jobs in a reasonable way so that everybody
does a little and then we enjoy ourselves? We
have a stupid system where you don’t get any
money unless you work. So we could change
that. We could just give people the money.

There are many different solutions. You could try
to shorten working hours. But I like that one that is
called a universal basic income. It’s like language.
Everybody contributes to this civilization, this
culture, and knowledge. So why don’t we just pay
everybody for that?
.
- David Graeber

Can’t quite believe it’s done but it’s done.

Two years of translating and unpicking (and growing a human somewhere in the middle) the most bizarre yet brilliant manifesto by Dr William Price: Gwyllllis yn Nayd.

Spoilers: these aren’t the ravings of a lunatic as previous biographers have concluded.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Just hoping that one day soon, people will tire of targeting and terrifying asylum seekers and instead, they will turn on politicians who whip up hatred and division to grab at power for themselves…
They are the ones who are failing us.
Not these people.

An impressive Plaid victory in Caerphilly. A 27% swing from Lab to Plaid. Welsh Labour's dominance crumbling. The limits of Farage & Reform's appeal underlined. Maybe the Westminster commentariat can now stop talking abt the unstoppable momentum behind Farage. Reform are beatable.

The extent to which the news media cycle is focusing on Reform rather than the wider strategic goals of Plaid Cymru as the party that actually won is a sign that much of the media and political establishment is going to again end up blindsided by trends that were visible long before

Mark McGeoghegan @markmcgeoghegan.bsky.social · 12d

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.
