Are these plans free because he's made it clear theres very little to spend.
I heard Wes Streeting speaking to an activist last week. He assured her he knows fixing social care is the key to improving the nhs. Promised her they have plans which they know will work as they've been tried and tested in other places. He is quite impressive in person.
Yes my dad took the option, alas didn't live long enough to benefit from it.Right to buy wasn’t great was it? Unless you are like Angela Rayner and exercised that right.
He only won by 700 votes last time. My lad is voting for the first time. It'll be for Matt.I am W&L but we've been Labour in 20 of past 27 years and if Matt Western won last time in spite of a strong Conservative win, then I'd have thought him safe this time.

I've just seen that the new BMW M5 weighs 2400kg. That is 1000kg more than the Original? It is obscene!The problem is that modern safety requirements have driven the increase in size, added to which bigger batteries are needed to give satisfactory range.

No idea but that car is 1000kg closer to the limitAt what point does it count as a heavy goods vehicle?
3500kgs is the max you can drive on a modern car license. So a van. If you passed your test before a certain date you have grandfather rights and can drive upto 7500kgs. Smallest unarticulated lorry.At what point does it count as a heavy goods vehicle?
Odd to think that you will be able to get prosecuted for smoking outside the polling station, after cast your vote having nipped out from school at 16.The problem with RtB isn’t people using it. Politicians don’t have to live by the rules they want to introduce, that’s silly. You’ll be asking everyone to pay uni fees they introduced or retrospectively prosecute people for smoking under 18 next.
I had, until recently, a motorhome based on a Fiat Ducato van chassis. It was fully equipped with everything you'd need to live off-grid for a long time (and we did, frequently) and came in at under 3000kg.I've just seen that the new BMW M5 weighs 2400kg.

It's wild.I had, until recently, a motorhome based on a Fiat Ducato van chassis. It was fully equipped with everything you'd need to live off-grid for a long time (and we did, frequently) and came in at under 3000kg.
Which makes a 2.4t car utterly ridiculous. IMO.
It's wild.
They've crowbarred a hybrid system in 18kW battery pack and another motor. All to make it everso slightly slower than the model it replaced.
Shedding weight would have been better for performance on every metric and better for the environment!

Hybrids are just a mental idea. You end up with the worst of both worlds TBH.
I wonder if some weight based road tax would push the trend for bigger cars in the other direction.
That would put a further dent in EV sales.Hybrids are just a mental idea. You end up with the worst of both worlds TBH.

I.E. they don’t want to be honest. If they were up front and still won the election, at least they could legitimately say they had a mandate for whatever tax shenanigans they have up their sleeves- presumably most of what they are refusing to rule out.We all know there’s more tax coming, they just don’t want to disclose how much and from what yet.
I think you’ve got an outdated view TBH.
Electric cars depreciate less than petrol for a start: Electric car depreciation: do they hold their value?
There’s a small insurance premium but that’s outweighed by fuel and maintenance costs. Why is electric car insurance so expensive? EV vs ICE cost analysis | Auto Express
Everyone I know who drives electric loves it TBH.

I think they’ve pledged in their manifesto to only do one major fiscal budget in any 12 month period. So expect one when they get in inline with their manifesto and then nothing for 12 months. Who knows what the picture will be in 12 months. If they can do something to grow the economy money might be available so tax rises aren’t needed to implement their manifesto.There’s a bit of that. I also believe there is an element of wanting to see what might happen in 2-3 months post election (maybe even next 12 months) before making any final calls. If that is the case, I can’t really argue with that.
It will be interesting to see how sales go as the deadline is approached.EV is happening regardless
The moral of the story being vote Labour and get a 1 grand discount against another Tory parliament.
Because you’re combining the fossil fuel consumption of one with the chemical waste of another.How on earth do you work that out? You have the benefits of a normal combustion engine, no worries about charge points on long trips and massive BIK benefits.

The irony is that there will probably be a lot of relatively cheap Chinese EVs bought, all produced in the top CO2 producing country in the world at 30 times UK.
Tbf its never going to be great unless you exercise the right.Right to buy wasn’t great was it? Unless you are like Angela Rayner and exercised that right.
Weight/size with value factored in. Hit it hard IMO.Hybrids are just a mental idea. You end up with the worst of both worlds TBH.
