One of the things I find odd about UK skills and jobs policies over the last 10 years is the idea that - for young people - place is destiny. It's like we've taken the Brexit memo and double stamped it into meaning you need to stay put to be a success. The geographical footprint of the UK is *tiny*

'Effi O Blaenau' is a terrific film. Echoes of Andrea Arnold. Leisa Gwenllian is amazing. Go and see it. Support Welsh cinema.

Effi o Blaenau is out in cinemas today, currently playing in Cinema 1, with a sold out audience. Welsh film is thundering through this summer: Madfabulous, Effi, On the Sea. Seeing the heaps of praise on Effi in today's papers is extraordinary. It is so joyous. www.chapter.org/whats-on/eff...

The @escapecollective.bsky.social podcasts on the state of the bike industry are fascinating. As someone who loves bikes, it's good to understand the current economic context. Loads of wider points on planning post-COVID and in terms of cost of living too escapecollective.com/why-cant-the...

Why can't the bike industry get itself out of trouble?

Cycling brands are still struggling to emerge from the pandemic boom, and the bust that followed.

I’m not sure there is a bleaker - or older - phenomenon in politics than desperate voters turning to charlatans and bigots for change. Reform councillors will do nothing to help someone’s elderly Mum get social care or keep the local library open for kids. And Farage is laughing his arse off.

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to… nation.cymru/news/the-new...
