The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.
Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

Chaos on TwitterX as they roll out a new change which shows the location of the user and inadvertently reveal how many fake accounts there are and how much foreign interference.

The British press is “chiens écrasés” and rumours. They speculate and get things wrong all the time, but they hold no responsibility.

Thus is how it works Write 20 speculative budget articles. When one turns out to be right tell everyone "we told you so" and ignore the other 19. If feeling particularly malevolent claim the 19 are "U Turns". Our press are a disease.

A new tax per weight on all vehicles
with a proportional low (no) CO2 emissions discount (making up for the huge weight difference of a battery).
That’s fair, efficient to unclog roads of oversized vehicles, and doesn’t put people off buying a cleaner one.
