    Anyone notice Hunt's slight of hand with EVs this week? They are going to lose their road tax free status, and will attract higher levels of road tax for the first 5 years if they cost over £40,000. - That's going to hurt a lot of people!
    Of course it'll fit, you just need a bigger hammer.

    A battery factory will be a disaster.

    I'll believe this when it happens.

    Warwick District Council's getting involved now. Personally, I'd take a couple of zeros off the jobs numbers: https://leamingtonobserver.co.uk/new...nancial-boost/

    Without massive incentives (read bribes) this isn't going to happen. Wised-up car makers are already dropping EV production.

    It was always the case. Government interference was never the way to go. The imbeciles in Westminster never learn the lessons of past mistakes!
