Not quite centuries. "The Capital Punishment Amendment Act 1868 ended public executions in the UK, with the final one being the hanging of Michael Barrett outside Newgate Prison in London on May 26, 1868"

The 60 largest planned data centers could produce the same amount of carbon dioxide emissions as 27 coal plants. Big Tech CEOs are polluting our planet and selling out our future to line their own pockets. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Are you implying all the talent available in the huge number of Labour MPs should remain unrecognised and outside government, as though there had been no change of leader? And don't say "I'm just asking questions" - that's Farage's line.

It’s bullshit for the Washington Post to call this looting of the Treasury a “deal“ and an “agreement.” The Trump regime is self-dealing to create an agreement between Trump and Trump, with no judge allowed to weigh in. It’s a dictator stealing from the people.
In unusual deal, a $1.8 billlion fund that could help Trump allies is created. 
The agreement to end the Trump family’s lawsuit against the IRS grants a commission broad authority …

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.

It would be highly ironic if councils in this region, which is a part of the UK most seriously threatened by climate change, end up being controlled by a party that denies it is happening. If you don't want this absurd outcome, get out and vote to prevent it.

Trump, suffering from dementia, is confused about where his father was born. It was in the Bronx, not in Germany. Trump's grandfather was an immigrant who came here after getting kicked out of Germany for evading the draft.
