Buying an electric car is not necessarily the best eco option. And coaches - those maligned leviathons of the road - can be a great option that is way cheaper than a rail ticket. www.politics.co.uk/mp-comment/2...
Coaches drive opportunity, growth and net zero — Labour can back them
A well-functioning coach network strengthens local economies, supports employment, and enhances connectivity.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but aren't tariffs really a tax on the poor? So Trump is yet again reducing the tax his rich buddies pay.
Sooo... isn't the answer to sanction them, rather than introduce opposing tariffs?
