"Sir Keir’s reshuffle looks less like renewal than a coup by Labour’s “modernising” clique. Ian Murray’s sacking severs a bridge to Anas Sarwar’s Scottish Labour, which had been tacking leftwards, just as the Holyrood election looms, while Lucy Powell’s removal sidelines one of the few cabinet allies of Ed Miliband, the soft left’s champion" -- in other words, Labour is tacking even more violently towards the dark side.

And the most recent jobs report has many hints that ICE is indeed having that desired effect: in an otherwise stagnant or contracting labor market, there was job group in leisure and hospitality, private health care, and (somewhat less) construction — all job markets with a concentration of immigrant labor.
I am not an economist and this is not a proper analysis — grain of salt, please! — but a quick skim of these stats is at least superficially consistent with a good chunk of current job growth coming from decreased immigrant participation in the labor force.

It’s useful information, but as the countdown clock on the site shows, still 937 days away.
At the rate the Trump administration is moving, there might not be much left of unions by the scheduled date.
The criminally underreported National Security Presidential Memorandum recently issued by Trump looks to crackdown on a whole range of activities. -- including act…
