The market share of battery electric cars fell last month. People remain worried about range, recharging, cost and battery life. Meanwhile government has put people off buying new diesel cars.
More disappointing new UK car sales numbers. High taxes and threatened bans continue to hurt the UK industry. The government should lift its 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars.
My condolences to Nigel Lawson’s family. He made a great contribution to our country.
When Margaret Thatcher wanted more incentives for enterprise and investment Nigel Lawson had the ability and will to get them through the Treasury. He showed how to grow the economy by cutting tax rates and freeing people to be self employed or expand a business.
Councils should mend more potholes instead of imposing more road restrictions on people trying to get to work by van and car.
Why is it so cold with frosts in April?
The small boats businesses charge too much, operate without a licence, overload boats, encourage law breaking and make windfall profits. Why no windfall taxes and enforcement on them as they set out from France?
There is something badly wrong when legal cross Channel travellers face massive delays whilst illegal small boat travellers carry on unimpeded.
If the French want happy UK visitors they should make it easier to get in through their ports.
Why not take a holiday break in the UK to avoid the delays into France? Plenty of great places to stay.
