All but iron clad planning reform rule is that they deliver less than claimed. And their bill was pretty tame.
We may have a 2nd bill with more teeth but doubt that impacts this side of a GE regardless of content

Maybe the courts throw out his tariffs but quite possibly only part of them.
Trump doesn't go until 29. And even assuming new POTUS unwinds them (thats far from certain as a whole) its much too late for a Q2 UK GE

Afaics 1.7bn/pa becomes an uplift of 1.5bn on the warm homes budget over 3yrs (lets call it the parliament given the risible backloading of savings/taxes)

I'm sure for some its marginal. But sometimes there is a perfect piece of music - or at least a perfect piece of music at the moment in time you saw it and forever after with nostalgia.

That last really spoils some memories. Not Scrubs but other shows where I remember a particular scene and go to rewatch and they have totally ruined it with some 'we had to change the music and this was the best we could get/afford'
Just awful.

You already have road pricing just a crude version so the argument about public transport applies regardless - its not really a PPM argument. As I say GPS/ToU is the best way to reflect rural drivers need in a pricing system

Around 8% of R capacity loses RO ~'27 and 7% by 30/31 iirc.

Depends entirely how you do it. The ideal version of PPM is GPS/ToU which would see a lower rate for rural communities.
That is not how the present policy works as they have gone for a very crude (if cheap) way to monitor it.

PPM is the obvious way to do road pricing but thats for ***all*** vehicles not just EVs.
And in choosing the date to phase it in for EVs you have to make sure it doesn't slow the transition. This clearly fails that test.

I reckon the FD freeze lasts at least until Y1 next parliament when the fact the backloading of this budgets 'cash today, pain in the year of the election' finally has to balanced.
