Strong: "look what you've made cars do" energy.

Evan Davis isn't allowed to do a podcast about heat pumps, but you're OK to share this nonsense from Rupert Murdoch's Times?

Is it straightforward? No – it means taking on Treasury orthodoxy, market expectations, and decades of received wisdom. Worth fighting for? Absolutely.

But he’s still trapped in the same orthodox framework that delivered those failures. You can’t find new answers if you keep insisting the old questions are the only serious ones.

Can we fund public services properly? Yes – the UK issues its own currency and can’t run out of pounds.

And improving regulation to stop exploitation of the scheme by avaricious companies charging absurdly excessive rates of commission.

Did the negative reaction potentially dissuade Reeves from capping it? We may never know, but all this speculation and weeks of anxiety for small businesses like mine could be avoided if she ran a tighter ship!

I had to edit this video to keep it under 3 minutes. After referring to the treasury comments, I originally repeated their claim that cycle to work was being abused by high earners buying £4k e-bikes for weekend rides in the Surrey Hills. This is what I'm saying is proved false by HMRC's own data.

I kind of agree with you on this too. But I'd say a reasonable cap for a decent but not high-end e-bike is about £5,000.

I should clarify that in a weird way, I kind of agree with you. I hate all the stupid tax relief schemes the UK has and wish we just had a much simpler, clearer tax system. Sadly we don't, and until we do I'll need to defend schemes like this as one of the only incentives for active travel.
