Mancunian, blue, EV driver, trying social media again, this may not last. Personal finance. Be intentional.
People don't really notice they're paying fuel duty, as it's in the cost of every litre. Suggestion for this is it would be paid at the point of taxing the car, so maybe £200 at the same time as £195 (and probably insurance).
They need to consider something like monthly direct debit

He did say probably won't be a white side, and that would look bad with a non-white strap, but the image on the website looks more like a light gun metal, so potentially similar to the watch finish. If they can get the whole thing to have a matching finish, it would give the best look

So I'll pay extra to drive a 5yr old EV, but could get some money off a brand new one (and still have to pay the extra) and that helps the cost of living.
Have they got some sort of random idea generator in the Treasury and has anyone considered rebooting it?

In the years it goes down, can you declare the loss against your tax bill? No issues with them widening the scope of capital gains, but needs to consider losses and how much of the gain is inflation, otherwise there will be even less in the market than Reeves wants

If there was a prosecution (which there won't be by the council's own rules), it would be of the landlord, not the agent. It's up to the landlord to be compliant with licences, certificates, safety checks etc. They can delegate it to an agent, but they're still accountable

Are there any statistics showing whether a modern SUV is more dangerous for pedestrians in the event of a collision?
My 1st car was a MK2 Escort, shorter than last Fiesta and, I suspect, lighter. But with drum brakes, higher chance of hitting the pedestrian with the metal bumpers and exposed wipers

If they do a phone in, can I ask why they decided to turn up now to sort stuff rather than say during one of the world wars, or the Holocaust, or Spanish Flu, or any other plague or conquistadors etc, etc.
It's almost like they don't care or none of them exist. Hmm, wonder which

There's not a lot of two seat ICE cars outside of hyper cars, so question would be where the market is. Batteries are probably still not light or thin enough for true sports car and a small town car is likely to end up with very low range due to battery capacity

Someone who may buy a very powerful EV is not going to buy a Renault 5, or the ICE equivalent of a Renault 5.
Also, halo cars promote the 'cheap' versions, whether EV or ICE. Love them or hate them, few wanted an EV until Teslas were beating Porsche etc on a drag strip.

I've enjoyed that the recent Star Wars films and series have had to include 70s' style graphics and buttons in their hyperspace capable, planet sized ships

There would be complaints about disrespecting the flag. Need to put 'Refugees Welcome FC' and then it'd be ok 😁

For anyone on minimum wage, all their additional tax and national insurance will go to pay for the state pension increase. And there's about 6x as many pensioners.

On the next show, I'm buying tickets for two nights to see if I recognise anyone!
Even with plants, I've still no idea how you'd do some of it.
