The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

For Mason any old tittle tackle will pass as political ‘news’ just as long as it keeps him ahead of the press pack. His constant attempt to appear relevant means he’s the story so he becomes just a voice that people increasingly ignore.

To compete at iGEM, a sort of science Olympics, teens at a Georgia high school set their sights on finding a better way to detect and treat Lyme disease. Their approach uses CRISPR gene editing.

When Rachel analysed methane emissions data, the area around Drax had the UK's second highest levels of this potent greenhouse gas. Is using taxpayer money to subsidise chopping down forests to burn wood to power a data centre, the best way to address climate change?
