As Illinois Coal Jobs Disappear, Some Are Looking to the Sun – In These TimesMatt Reuscher was laid off a decade ago from Peabody Energy’s Gateway coal mine in Southern Illinois, in the midst of a drought that made the water needed to wash the coal too scarce and caused production to drop, as he remembers it. Reuscher’s grandfather and two uncles had been miners, and his father — a machinist — did much work with the mines. Like many young men in Southern Illinois, it was a natural career choice for Reuscher. Still in his early 20s when he was laid off, Reuscher “spent that summer doing odds and ends, not really finding much of anything I enjoyed doing as m... read more

Of late, the chancellor has had a brusing time. How to get back on top of the ratings? We don't know the findings of his half-a-million pound focus groups aimed at improving his image, but perhaps doing something to address the cost of living scored more highly among their priorities than photos in his casual clothing. I'm not saying Rishi Sunak announced his package of measures to *ease* energy price rises to put him back into contention for the Prime Minister's job, but like unveiling it the day after Sue Gray's report the timing was politically fortuitous.
