If it’s just a matter of transport, I think owning an EV now makes more sense than ever. Especially when it costs me approx £1.20 to charge for my week’s driving.

Did You Know ? Tesco CEO Ken Murphy’s pay stands at nearly £10m a year = £27,400 a day and doesn’t pay a penny in tax to the UK He earns 430 x the average Tesco employees who pays tax That doesn’t seem fair to me

@BpdLion No if he’s a cyclist he must be morally superior to anyone who works for a living and has to travel. That’s how it works isn’t it?

@Osgoodnb1 Send her over to complain and see how long before she’s stoned, arrested or beaten for showing her hair. Sometimes freedom costs money.

Too many of Britain’s young are not working. Labour has a plan to fix that. Long term problem deserving a serious answer. Hiring bonuses for employers. Boosting youth apprenticeships for small businesses. Help for the long term youth unemployed. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

It's a bloody travesty. We must pass a law which unequivocally states that money earned in Britain must be taxed in Britain, irrespective of where the earner is domiciled. Cheating the public in this way has been going on for far too long.

@CoopTory Maybe on these stupid Canadian roads with terrible design, awful signage and ridiculously low speed limits.

@ArtistCyclist They haven’t. They’re more dangerous. Britain is broken and you simply cannot get around. All to appease people in London who have the best transport system in the world whilst the rest of the country gets shafted.

We need far more 20mph zones. They have proven to save lives everywhere they are used. Speed kills.

@MrMatthewTodd We’ve cut emissions back to levels not seen since the 1800’s and have the biggest reduction of major economies.

@MattCJBaker @leith1076 People talk like it's a sunk cost though. It's not. It's given to the people who have the highest marginal propensity to consume. What does the money go on? Rent, food, energy, into the local economy. People on benefits tend to spend every penny they have.

@porras_alberto @JordanEVGuy I know why it is. It’s why government mandate is crazy. Not content with killing choice and stifling progress they want more people out of work and tens of billions lost. The greenest thing you can do is buy a used car. Line up the V8’s & V12’s.

Anyone on benefits in this country. Pause for a second. There is a reason those benefits exist. Because life broke somewhere. Illness. Disability. Caring. Redundancy. Wages that do not cover rent anymore. That is reality not failure. Now listen to what Reform are actually saying. Not dog whistles. Not rumours. Out loud. They want to charge you for things you do not currently pay for. They want austerity back. They want to tighten. Cut. Squeeze. Again. Even lower wages. Did you miss that bit? Many people on benefits already use food banks. Many already sit in the dark watching the meter tick down. Many already skip meals. That is now. Before Reform touch anything. So picture it. Same life. Same bills. Same stress. Then extra charges on top. Less support. More punishment dressed up as discipline. How are you meant to survive that. Honestly. This is not theoretical. They are not hiding it. They are proud of it. Things are bad right now. Reform are openly promising to make them worse for you. So the question is simple. Are you okay with that. Are you genuinely okay voting for people who are telling you they will take more from you when you already have nothing left. I struggle to understand it. Then I stop pretending. Because if you are choosing this anyway it means something else comes first. Anger. Blame. Racism. Someone to point at while your own plate gets emptier. If that is the choice then own it. Say it. Do not pretend this is about helping ordinary people. They are screaming what they want to do to you. Loud. Proud. No shame. And still some of you cheer. That is not being ignored. That is choosing your own harm. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧💷☕️🫖🍰

Those of us still driving ice cars are doing so for a myriad of reasons but we all know EVs are better & cheaper. Everyone I know intends their next car to be electric. We’ll all be there soon. And I can’t wait.

There’s a reason every account peddling lies about North Sea oil and gas and net zero has a blue tick. They generate money from X for fossil fuel propaganda that has high engagement rates. If you want to know who is lying, always ask yourself ‘who gains most?’

@MattCJBaker @JordanEVGuy RR ownership is primarily about status signalling through conspicuous consumption. Electric motors are relatively affordable and accessible so cannot fulfill that function for RR buyers. RR buyers want big V12s BECAUSE they are hugely expensive to buy, maintain, repair and fuel.

The UK is considering an American style global tax regime. If you move to zero tax havens like Dubai, you will still be forced to pay British income tax for the privilege of holding a UK passport and getting embassy protection. The tax loopholes might finally close.
