A fair counter point 👍

I still think it's a daft plan to charge EVs when we're trying to get towards net zero, they already pay road tax for one thing. Perhaps just increase that slightly?

I'm going on tour in 2026! Come and see me doing one of the best reviewed shows from the Ed Fringe (according to the British Comedy Guide). It's called King of Crumbs, and it's a load of old nonsense, really. Book now!

This is mad to just charge EV owners, surely it would be better to charge a vehicle on a pay per mile. It could be simply recorded with every MOT. They could then modify the charge based on car size, weight, etc. in turn encouraging smaller car size ownership.

If you've bought an Oral B electric toothbrush, it's worthwhile getting the FREE extra one year extended warranty.

They tend to stop working just after the two years existing warranty runs out 🤠

You can do it up until the end of your existing warranty.

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country.

Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned.

We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.
