What kind of cheap ass solar panels does the UK use? Texas routinely gets over 40° in the summer and it’s the biggest solar power producer in the US.

Right? My town is a huge hub for solar and wind energy, and it too routinely has temperatures over 40 Celsius in the summer.

@GrassmarketA globallist loser? Need some details here. I lost track of the clown show known as the UK politics   The Labour still can't screw this up at the next elections?

We shouldn't but Keir Starmer is so shit I wouldn't be surprised if we did. If someone like the mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham was leader then I wouldn't be so worried. Also, people in our country have short term memory so if Rishi has a good 2 months before the election then he'll be lorded as a God.

The Dutch cabinet has fallen last week, and now in the past minutes Mark Rutte has announced he will not be his party's leader at the next elections (probably in November or so), meaning he will leave politics. In favour or against him, it is absolutely the end of an era after almost one and a half decade.

 

Interesting to see even someone like far-right populist Geert Wilders talk about him with a degree of respect. Not so much for his political views obviously, but for his overall authority and demeanor, specifically mentioning his handling of Russia's crime of shooting down the MH17 plane.

Do they want that though?  I always feel like especially in the east of Europe there's a ton of countries who like to criticize everything about the EU, but then do want to end up becoming a member (for the money, one would assume)  

 

And about NED - BUL in this case it's at least not because of nothing, Netherlands still has a bit of an issue with the tons and tons of insurance money that a group of Bulgarians frauded us out of
