Emily Maitlis is spot on—Britain is broken because Farage broke it. We can’t just ignore the never-ending damage Brexit has done—not just to our finances, but to businesses, farming, and our ability to trade. All for what? A slogan on a bus and a mess we’re still paying for. #BrexitReality

Only a few years ago there were almost no electric vehicles being sold.
This year China is approaching 50% share of electric vehicles in total sales.
But Europe is not doing too badly either with 25% outperforming the US.
