....had to do a double take at the paper making this excellent point
With tightening immigration policies, the EU is moving towards a Eurokafala system where migrants are constantly brought in to make up for labour shortages, but also constantly abused as second-class citizens.

You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

the kid's new bedtime album is the new mountain goats album which means a lot of very weird conversations in the dark
"are the stars really going to be going out? or is he being poetic?"
"what does 'clutches of the flesh' mean?"
"how did his head get hurt?"
"can we buy a boat?"

A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

This new asylum policy from labour is vile and betrays labour values. It ignores the reality of refugee peoples’ lives, aspirations, families… it betrays our obligations to help the most vulnerable and IT WILL NOT DETER SMALL BOATS.
It’s a grim day.

Caerffili was welcome but not a brilliant bellwether for May. I do not doubt Wales will suffer much ugliness in the years that follow. It takes a village to burn down a village.

Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat.
This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026
