"British exports to the EU fell sharply after Brexit and have yet to recover, remaining 11% below their 2019 levels. Astonishingly, 4 out of every 10 British products once stocked on EU shelves have now vanished." @jamesmaccleary.bsky.social MP lays bare the damage Brexit has done. 👇

Interesting. Results will surprise many! youtu.be/JIXfeKzw_e8

If you can charge at home, and get decent electricity tariff (like Intelligent Octopus Go) running an EV is amazingly cheap. People are misinformed about PHEVs - for long journeys they charge too slowly to make use of EV side and become just inefficient ICE cars. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/a...

"The Heritage Foundation was created in 1973 by Joseph Coors, Paul Weyrich and Edwin Feulner. Coors, of the Coors brewery dynasty known for its union-busting, anti-environmental and anti-equal rights stances, provided the finance."

InstaVolt taking measures to reduce cable thefts/vandalism. (I'm sure it's a problem for operators, even though I've never personally seen chargers with cables cut) www.electrive.com/2025/04/15/i...

“Never have we so hurt and mistreated our common home as we have in the last two hundred years. Reducing greenhouse gases requires honesty, courage and responsibility. Those who will have to suffer the consequences will not forget this failure of conscience and responsibility.” — Pope Francis

For those too young to recall the 1980s - this was the sort of fun cartoon in the daily newspapers

I've been a journalist for 25+ years and I'm not sure I've witnessed as much wilful (and v likely coordinated) disinformation from certain corners of the UK media than over past few days. Sun, Mail and Telegraph have been truly awful - and seemingly shameless www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This is as contrived as anything from Top Gear, but Rory Reid manages to sneak in some useful real world info, among some stuff I'd consider a bit bogus. It's neither all positive nor all negative. youtu.be/Y9WdEjRs0sI

In case you missed it ... Here's a damning verdict from the Intelligence & Security Committee regarding Boris Johnson's half-baked report into Russian interference in the Brexit ref. Basically, they didn't even bother looking for any! Surely now it's time for a public enquiry into Putin's Brexit!

SMMT new car registration data for March. BEV registrations continue to increase. Any bump due to people wanting to beat the "expensive car supplement" (which is a bit of a misnomer because average new car costs more than 40k)? www.smmt.co.uk/vehicle-data... www.autoexpress.co.uk/features/366...

PHEVs aren't particularly good cars for long journeys. They (almost all) charge very slowly and have very small range so you hardly get anything out of the EV side on a long journey. Going at a constant speed, they don't benefit from regen. A BEV with a decent range and charging speed is much better

Pretty good

Sheesh

Diesel cars are a serious fire risk. Yet another causing disruption. After the Liverpool Echo Arena fire, and the Luton Airport fire, both of which destroyed entire car parks, should diesels be banned? news.sky.com/story/passen...

"... petrol cars are losing value fastest, while electric vehicles are bucking the trend." "By 30,000 miles, the average petrol car has lost 38 per cent of its value, while EVs have only dropped 26 per cent, according to the report." (Report from Carwow) www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/a...
