Trump announced yesterday he will repurpose huge chunks of federal lands to host AI data centers. This massive giveaway to Big Tech comes despite surging public opposition to data centers— including among Trump's own voters.

This is not a joke. Count Binface is the real deal. He can make a huge difference and Clacton would be privileged to have him as MP. Just remember that Volodymyr Zelenskyy used to be a comedian too. And in Denmark we had the comedian Jacob Haugaard in parliament. Honest and great guy of the people.

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.
