I'm not? I explained my concern was that an EV tax would be put in place whilst the fuel duty escalator would be delayed again. That's not the case so I think it's fine from an EV perspective

I don't think was too bad in the end. My concern was pay per mile for EVs but no increase in fuel duty. Sounds like fuel duty will increase long before the pay per mile arrives so feels more justifiable

That's it isn't it, when Labour came in I'd hoped for the kind of breadth of ambition and reform that New Labour had when they came in. Instead they seem to be stumbling from one mess to another, no sense of purpose, organisation or real desire for change

I'm not quite sure who to blame - either newspapers making stuff up or shadowy government figures leaking to see reactions, either way it's just so tedious

To be fair I'd love to see a list of everything that's 'coming in the budget'. Based on everything that's been rumoured so far we should be running a healthy budget surplus next year !

Yeah think it would make sense if they started the fuel escalator again and cut VAT on superchargers

A well considered piece of sense amidst the hysteria, excellent

The state pensions the generous equivalent of something like a £300k annuity? Let alone schooling, your birth, vaccinations, hospital trips, maintenance of roads and infrastructure, child benefit, and everything else that needs paying for but seems conveniently forgotten in this

That one was hilarious. You could see the story picked apart on social media across the course of a couple of hours before it was retracted 😂

In fairness its a tipping point, it's shifted to this position in something like 20 years moving from a fossil fuels system in place for over a century

Isn't this not the point though? (Sadly). They don't have to be right about O&G in the North Sea, they just have to say they'll do it and that it'll reduce bills, such that they can attempt to counter Reforms proposals to frack and god knows what else. We in the real world think too much about facts

I mean, this is moving into Rachel Reeves territory right. How many 18 year olds would feel confident investing in stocks and shares and leave such large sums to the vagaries of the stock market. We're a cautious nation on that front.

There's often a misunderstanding more fundamental than even this - many I encounter feel that the State Pension is some kind of big pot that they've paid into across a lifetime, so the money is already there they're just not getting it. They don't understand it's paid from current taxation

I get suggested news stories each day from Google,seemingly each day it's different stories about complaints about solar farm, wind or battery planning applications in various areas.It's always that they agree with the tech but it's 'not in the right place' so unclear where the right place is...
