Basically it looks like weakening democracy by supporting nationalist parties across Europe, and trashing NATO - this is Putin's dream wishlist

The US under Trump is tearing apart the global rules based order

I prefer closer ties with the EU than with the US under Trump

FML - this fawning before the over-sensitive king is embarrassing for the world.

Many countries have fought revolutions (and in the UK a civil war) against monarchs & tyrants in order to get away from this ridiculous kind of self-abasement before egos of foolish leaders.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

A decade of Brexit: Britain falls behind peers in trade and growth Economic analysis shows UK GDP per capita grew up to 10% less than similar nations as firms froze spending and productivity slipped.

We estimate that by the start of 2025, the UK economy was approximately 8% smaller than it would have been without Brexit, based on macro data, and 6% smaller using firm-level micro data”
