A proposed data centre in the Scottish Borders has been described by local communities as a "monster" which would drain "the life and beauty from the landscape".

All over the UK these energy and water guzzling monstrosities are being developed in scenic rural areas. No one voted for this.

There are currently over 500 active data centres in the UK, making it the largest data centre market in Western Europe and the third largest globally - putting huge strain on the UK’s energy and water supply. And meanwhile, we are told to stop using hosepipes and to turn the lights out.

✈️ Lounge review: the Gulf Air lounge at Heathrow T4.

@sophieibbotson_ writes small but smartly designed, with arguably the best runway views in the terminal, a fully staffed bar and proper barista coffee. Tired furniture is the only letdown.
