Which election? The next one? Have I missed somethIng?
Maybe the pr groups say this is how the public at large understand itNo, just a laugh about some posts on here recently where I was told an election campaign is not the time to make complex arguments about how the state pays for things.
Then use your mandate to re-educate the public. It’s certainly big enough to do so.Maybe the pr groups say this is how the public at large understand it
I know I know but you start with where people areThen use your mandate to re-educate the public. It’s certainly big enough to do so.

It must be. For starters she obviously thinks she’s still relevant and has an opinion people want to hear. She couldn’t even retain her safe seat at the GE.As I said the other day, mental issues

She clearly doesn't listen to her Dad!I genuinely think she is and if so someone close to her needs to get her out of the public eye and get her some help.
Wtf, and this coming from the worst PM in history???As I said the other day, mental issues

Why is Rishi Sunak coming across as quite pleasant *after* he's lost the election? It's a bit late now!
Kind of makes me want him to stay on as leader - this is a bit more the Sunak I'd hoped we'd get as leader, not one who bowed to the reactionary nutters. Lets face it, his politics would always be unlikely to be mine, but at least he's slightly pragmatic with it!The break from all the culture war bollocks has been a breath of fresh air.
He acted in the way CCHQ told him to and now he’s being left to his own devices.Why is Rishi Sunak coming across as quite pleasant *after* he's lost the election? It's a bit late now!

We’re not really helping to achieve net zero if all we’re doing is exporting out carbon emissions. Usually importing fossil fuels that are a) more carbon intensive and b) there’s a cost to transporting coal from Argentina, for example.Im sure some oil companies will do that.
Someone has to leave oil in the ground, why not us?
Much as I hate to say this, it doesn’t matter how long the initial purchaser keeps a new EV as long as it continues to be used by someone until the CO2 break even point is reached.We’re not really helping to achieve net zero if all we’re doing is exporting out carbon emissions. Usually importing fossil fuels that are a) more carbon intensive and b) there’s a cost to transporting coal from Argentina, for example.
It’s like a lot of EVs, the initial outlay of carbon is usually higher than petrol/diesel cars and the cars need to last 5-10 years to actually break even on CO2 emissions. How many people (especially those that can afford EVs) keep the same car for 5+ years?
That’s assuming the EV’s batteries last up to that. A friend of mine who’s a keen environmentalist pointed out that a newly released JLR EV needed something like 210k miles on one battery to ‘break even’ and the batteries will not last that long, especially as the range on EVs wanes pretty rapidly from what I’ve been told.Much as I hate to say this, it doesn’t matter how long the initial purchaser keeps a new EV as long as it continues to be used by someone until the CO2 break even point is reached.
Does importing carbon fuels actually reduce our CO2 footprint? I don’t think so, in fact the CO2 produced by transporting those fuels to the UK will add to it which is why it seems madness to block new sources until the replacements are proven and well in their way.(Someoen will be along shortly to tell me the global oil market doesn’t work like that),
Having everything made in China reduces UK footprint by exporting our carbon emissions. Having unprecedented population growth will have increased our CO2 emissions.
Isn't that the way our owner is going? Then you have the argument that we need the Fields for food!That’s assuming the EV’s batteries last up to that.

That is one example, but paints a picture that car manufacturers are greenwashing their products.
In a practical sense, if there was an event where the power grid is impacted, EVs quickly become useless.
EVs are potentially part of the solution to decarbonising car transportation, my instinct is that we need some sort of breakthrough with biofuels to be able to move away from fossil fuels.
I don't like EV cars at all. I look forward to there being no parking when 60s multi storeys are closed because they will not bear the weight, potholes have multiplied for the same reason and Londoners have respiratory problems from inhaling the additional brake dust and rubber particles. Just Stop Lithium will be out in force. The folly will then have been proved.That’s assuming the EV’s batteries last up to that.

The issue is how you make the hydrogen in the first place. At the moment, we actually make it from methane (natural gas), so you aren’t solving the problem there either. If you used solar to split water though, you’d have truly renewable energy and fuel sources.I don't like EV cars at all.

Biofuels still produce CO2, Mr Google suggests at about half the rate of fossil fuels. Hydrogen produces water.

A lot of nonsense here.I don't like EV cars at all.

Diesel was promoted as safer by the last Labour government. Guess what, it proved not to be because of other pollutants. As soon as one hazard is removed, another will take its place.A lot of nonsense here.
All EV's now have regen braking, and increasingly commonly one pedal driving, which uses much less friction braking. If anything the issue is lack of brake use which can cause disc rusting.
Inhaling tyre rubber that well known danger compared to exhaust emissions. Lolz
Btw most tyre rubber is used by fast acceleration and that doesn't typically happen in high traffic density.

You don’t disagree about the car parks or potholes presumably. A hidden cost. Hydrogen would make more sense made from all that water we have surrounding the UK.
How is this not already a thing after the last govt? Anyone got a telegraph sub and can tell?
The inevitable 'another hazard will take its place'. Laughable halfwittery.Diesel was promoted as safer by the last Labour government. Guess what, it proved not to be because of other pollutants. As soon as one hazard is removed, another will take its place.
