@KateFantom "High risk" really, burnt down many car parks have they? As for damaging the roads, I think all the laden vans, buses and trucks do for damage than a Landrover, surely?
The one on the right is my van.
The one on the left sits higher than my van, weighs more than my van, has less storage space than a VW Golf, weighs around 1000kgs more than a Golf and almost 700kgs more than our own EV.
With the high risk of these burning down an airport carpark in Luton, their horrific emissions, reliability, fuel economy and weight, it’s a wonder why people buy them.
This Labour government has the right economic plan.
The choices we have made mean our economy is in a stronger position, as we deal with the costs of conflict abroad.
Coventry City boss Frank Lampard wants Aston Villa midfielder, Ross Barkley to be his first signing of the summer 🏴
✍️ - [@reluctantnicko] #avfc | #pusb
🚨 Everton are targeting a move for Aston Villa captain John McGinn this summer.
The Toffees are expected to strengthen in central midfield in the coming months as they look to add greater depth and quality to their squad.
David Moyes is also keen to bring in players who can make an instant impact and slot straight into the starting line-up.

The true cost of a £40,000 financed BMW:
→ Deposit: £5,000
→ Monthly payments: £650 x 48 months = £31,200
→ Balloon payment: £12,000
→ Total paid: £48,200
→ Car worth at end: £18,000
→ Total loss: £30,200
£30,200 For something you never actually owned.
That £30,200 invested in the S&P 500 instead = £97,000 in 15 years.
We don’t have a cost of living crisis.
We have a priority crisis.

@BhamCityCouncil That's it, listen to the odd fake story and not the tens of thousands who constantly complain of just how poor this city is run. Roads falling to pieces, bins not emptied, the city centre, other than the bullring is a no go area. The list goes on and on and on. Great memories 🤔
Every Brummie has a story.
Maybe it’s your favourite park, your local chippy, the music you grew up with, or the people who make your street feel like home.
💛 We want to hear YOUR story.
Take a moment to tell us what Birmingham means to you — what makes it special, what you'd like to see, and what you’re proud of.
