Despite the hype, Trump leaves China empty-handed and no better off than he was before
The president’s first trip to China was largely a flop. Nearly a decade later, his second excursion was worse.

Solar to overtake coal on Texas grid for the first time ever this year

We Are a Democracy! “We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." This is like saying "I don't have a dog, I have a golden retriever." A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. You didn't catch anyone in a gotcha. You told everyone you don't know what words mean.

I do a lot of my growing in tubs and pots, you can grow more or less anything so long as you've got a big enough pot. They do need a lot of watering though, some things will need watering twice a day if it's really hot and dry 🌱

The billionaire-funded ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march this weekend was seething with extreme racism, spouted by its far right organisers. We witnessed calls for remigration, to ‘stop Islam’ and for communities to prepare to ‘fight’ back.

This is designed to promote racist violence and intimidate people of colour. The very explicit and gendered mockery of Muslim women was obscene, and reflects intensifying and normalised Islamophobia that thinly defends itself as ‘free speech’.

If during vetting for, say, certain UK Civil Service roles an applicant was found to have lied about their finances to this extent or had a close associate who'd been jailed for taking bribes from a hostile foreign power, they'd be considered a textbook security risk. That's exactly what Farage is.
