We can’t afford not to tax EV’s, the Govt says!
My car tax is £620 per year as the list price of my car was just over £40k (didn’t pay that for it 2nd hand).
I also pay 5% on my electric & pay a fortune when I charge away from home.
Happy to pay extra tax for services but please don’t tax EV’s.

This is why history teachers are so important. This poor man thinks that unless you’re descended from fourth and fifth century immigrants, you’re not English.
If only they’d studied the Norman Conquest at his school, he’d know you have to be a descendant of French Vikings.

You are missing the point, the report is about how we get people back into work. Stop spreading Reform/Trump type myths.

Sounds like the MSM had a strategy to gun for Rachel Reeves to upset the budget. What a load of bollocks.
Selective licensing for landlords is not countrywide (it should be) so it is quite understandable you wouldn’t know. Throw in a letting agency (who should know) & allegedly didn’t advise so.
