BT’s Openreach is uncovering far more copper than expected during its full-fibre rollout, turning what was once obsolete wiring into a goldmine—earning over two billion pounds by selling recycled copper as prices soar due to AI and global electrification. With copper hitting record highs and demand exploding across tech and renewables, BT’s partnership with EMR has already netted ninety-nine million upfront—and they’re set to recover up to two hundred thousand tonnes by 2030. It’s a win-win: slashing waste while boosting profits. But the boom has also sparked theft waves across the UK, prompting Openreach to deploy DNA-tracking tech, slashing cable theft by thirty percent. Still, underground cables remain vulnerable—but the sheer scale of copper being reclaimed—nearly ten thousand tonnes in a year—proves just how much old infrastructure still lurks beneath our feet, ready for a high-tech rebirth.

Newham’s population is in freefall as over 50,000 residents fled last year—nearly double the number who moved in—making it the UK’s second worst-hit borough after Birmingham.

Trump’s latest fiery takedown of Tucker Carlson—calling him a “loser” with a “very low IQ”—marks a dramatic rupture from their once-close alliance, sparking a brewing conservative power struggle.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie fire back, accusing Trump of hypocrisy and betrayal, with Greene branding him an “internet troll” and Massie pointing to his own policies as proof he ignored their counsel. The feud underscores deepening rifts within the GOP, fueled by accusations of Trump’s declining poll numbers and alleged surrender to special interests—all while the drama continues to escalate in real time.
