TVs, cars, smart fridges, in fact “Smart” anything.
But should it be absolute or relative? They have gone for absolute, which why it looks so unjust.
I do a thousand miles a month, all on EV, so this is £30 a month tax to me.
Even with a EV car, with 2p per mile home charging, it is a 150% tax. It’s like they don’t want you be green. Hybrid getting half the tax because they have a dirty engine carried around.
Edit:
To compare:
LitresInGallon * LitreTax / MPG
4.54609 * 52.95 / 38.6
6.2p tax per mile
So double the absolute cost per mile, but wait:
Take cheap petrol of 127.7p per letre
127.7 * 4.54609 / 38.6
15p of fuel per mile
6.2p/15p = 41% tax
Compared to the 150% tax on EV’s.


Yet the government is still on TWITTER?
Isn’t this incitement?
Seams like anything is OK if you are a billionaire.


Interesting. “The value of the damage.” I’d say it’s pretty likely the Banksy worked increased the value of the wall, if not the whole property. So is that negative damage? The people who decreased the value where those who tried to clean off the artwork.


It’s more FPTP.
The Left is split over Labour, LebDem, Green, SNP and Plaid Cymru. Now, also Corybn’s new party.
The Right traditionally consolidated on the Conservatives and in NI, UUP. Now Reform are the Right consolidation point. Plus Con+Reform merge seams likely. UUP always worked with the Conservatives.
Amazing Labour ever win really. If Labour cared about country over party, they would be doing electoral reform. But they are still hoping they can take all the power under FPTP, with a few more point of the vote than others by the time the election. They are betting the country on it. Right now, it looks like this will let the fascists.


Exterminate the people and claim the land. Lovely…


This is the nub of the issue. Markets need effective competition. Without it, you get fiefdoms and serfs, and shit products. Antitrust laws have been terrible for decades. Thanks to broken political thinking. Smash up the tech monopolies and not just tech will improve.


FPTP could easily give us fascists who will do to UK democracy what they have to the US.
To be fair, those selling AI spades make money from this AI gold rush. Like NVidia.


I agree we should be trying stop the ethnic cleansing Israel is doing. But I do think we should be catching those who want to take refuge here due to connections here. Also, Britain did create the Israel/Palestine mess.
I can’t speak to want Arab countries are doing or not doing. It seams they are interesting in maintaining good relations with Israel more.


While I’d like to see this, in our rising fascist anti-immigrant political climate, where even the BBC mix up migrant and refugee, it seams unlikely. These are brown Muslims compare with white Christian of Ukraine. Despite attempts to make it illegal, there is a lot of pro-Palestine support, but I don’t think that will translate to a lot of support to bring them here. It should, but won’t. Britain is losing it’s soul.


I skimmed them as I knew most of it already. I’ve seen him say stuff about Russia that disgusts me before.

If Corybn wants support from people like me, he needs to come out loudly condemning Putin’s actions and support Ukraine. Being anti-war is a massively stupid position against someone like Putin.


If you go from Labour to Reform, your not of the Left. Or fooled. Guess will find out if the left is so split by election time and Reform splip in. I’m blame Corybn for that like I do for Boris’s win. That time it was by repelling people to the Tories. This time it would be vote splitting. Though I agree with a good chunk of what he says, he a political menace of the left.


I think all the left wing parties agree there is a problem with in equality. If the left splitters off to load into so many parties, it will lose. No matter if it makes up over half the electorate. FPTP is basically rigged against the left because the left struggle to compromise and unify.


They try that American’s world standing will keep plummeting. I know the US is incredibly inward looking, but it would be hard to hide that reality from the population.


He Putin’s basically. Maybe out of naivety, but the result is the same.
