@FredricMorenius @catl_official Tell that to the drivers of a @Hyundai_Global Ioniq 5 N. Fast and good to drive: https://t.co/kS9x6AcWqz

@grigson_colin @rajeshk4u @LucyFaulkes @AndrewSimms_uk Only if you’re happy with £10000/car otherwise it wouldn’t be fair. It’s either proportional or it’s not implemented at all.

@alanlawlor @SoundWellMusic @lmmkelley @HindesAdrian @postcarbonsteve @RecoEco @landrights4all On a 100% plant based diet. Yes. It would free up large tranches of land for food production (even excluding less fertile and hillier, less productive areas) whilst enabling reforestation.

@cousins_pete @Gill_Nowell @Reuters @GM @Ford @Tesla ChaDeMo was the first but don’t see that being reinvigorated in most of the world. Got to be CCS in Europe but we await vehicles to adopt V2X; VW has incorporated it but it’s not been implemented yet.

@tomkentuk @KateFantom @Gill_Nowell @ecocars1 @She_sElectric @FoxGeorgiou @106Euan @QuentinWillson @cleevelymotors @PoletoPoleEV @zap_map Why wasn’t it viable and which company was this?

@KateFantom Low range/high price.I’ve been eagerly waiting to see new entrants to the estate market;they are long overdue;SUVs have littered the marketplace but people appreciate estate cars for their practicality. And the forthcoming estate cars from the VW group will only be more expensive

@carlafrancome Yes, I just think of that being Hampstead Heath; it’s a lovely spot. I was surprised the first time I came across it too 😊

[Carla Francome @carlafrancome]

There’s that quote by Margaret Atwood, “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them”.

I was thinking there’s a version for the road: Drivers are afraid that cyclists will slow them down. Cyclists are afraid that drivers will kill them

@skinnerskeet @rzeta0 @QasimRashid What is irrefutable is that a white person is more likely to be killed by another white person in the US; high gun ownership in the US considerably exacerbates the homicide rate regardless of ethnicity.

@chrisG987 @PaulHig55170875 @foxesdale @Mike_Fabricant The higher income tax rate in France is 45%. In Monaco it’s 0%. ‘Thirty-two per cent of the principality’s population of 39,000 are millionaires, nearly 3,000 are multimillionaires, and at least half a dozen billionaires.’ A small amount of people but pretty wealthy I’d say.

@chrisG987 @PaulHig55170875 @foxesdale @Mike_Fabricant They live there as they don’t pay any direct taxation so when you’re very wealthy it is ‘cheap’ and minutes away from nice places to stay and visit in the south of France.

@1calps @stephenrowles1 @Eslanderkow @GavinWilliamson The rise in parody accounts has been exponential!

[Andrew Allen 💙 @ajAndrewAllen]

@SangitaMyska You’re right, it’s bang on 7.5 months give or take a few hours; disgraceful behaviour and outrageous pay off given his fleeting appearance in cabinet (well this episode at least, ignoring the other governments he’s been discarded from).

[Andrew Allen 💙 @ajAndrewAllen]

@mrjamesob IPA. Integrity, Professionalism, Accountability. It’s an easy thing to say and easy to remember given it’s alcoholic connotations. A shame it’s AWOL with respect to the UK government.

[Andrew Allen 💙 @ajAndrewAllen]

@mrjamesob And he’s finally been given the nod; how many times can one person be sacked upwards; next stop PM?!

[Andrew Allen 💙 @ajAndrewAllen]

@permagriculture @MichaelTakeMP No doubt that this one is clearly a parody.

[Andrew Allen 💙 @ajAndrewAllen]

@Cai_A @Stephenjohnpark @mrjamesob Yes, I watched it when it was on Walter presents; excellent series; just looked and it’s no longer there.
