Trump could hand every Brit £500 by stepping in to stop Chagos deal

Donald Trump is being urged to intervene to halt Britain’s proposed handover of the Chagos Islands, amid mounting warnings that the deal could damage Western defence, undermine environmental protections and saddle UK taxpayers with a long-term financial burden worth more than £500 per person.

Britain’s biggest offshore wind farm has been caught wasting most of the electricity it makes, because the grid cannot cope. The Seagreen wind farm off Scotland’s east coast threw away around three quarters of its power last year after being paid to switch its turbines off. Newly published accounts show that 77 percent of the energy generated by Seagreen never reached homes or businesses, despite the site boasting 114 giant turbines....
