O2 merger with Virgin is a disaster. I couldn't get logged in to their new app.
Lebara was a synch.
NO ONE from O2 bothered to contact me.

Social reforms 👏🏼
No property tax/stamp duty reform. Nothing to kick start the house market and kick-start growth 🫤
Maybe the OBR will leak this next week.

You can only make changes if you have power. To have power you need to have an electorate with you.

Err maybe the polls showing Reform out in front.
Reform and what's left of the CONS are owning the agenda. This gets in the way of what's really important e.g. cost of living, child-poverty, failing Public services.
And don't conflate immigration with illegal immigration and not just the boats

Immigration or illegal immigration?
Don't conflate them.
And don't forget that there are plenty of voters without a brain. Brexit is an example of how the right wing media can whip up the mob

EVs are heavy due to their batteries. A peugot 208e is 1000kg heavier than an ICE equivalent.
Unlike FUEL duty 52p per litre and 20% VAT there on, VED does not account for road usage.
EVs have higher initial environmental impact due to batteries - X over point in typically 16000 miles.

Love evs but
They are heavier and smash up the roads. They should contribute to road use. The charging cost - doesn't cover this.
They also carry a huge environmental overhead for the materials in their batteries.
There's no such thing as a free lunch
