How exciting. Mick Whelan, head of ASLEF, insisting rail strikes will continue for 20 years (despite current £13bn pa support from taxpayers) is actual proof that dinosaurs are not yet extinct.

@rachfmackenzie @VodafoneGroup @EE Hmmm.... no point in changing supplier then. It's a racket!!

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

Thanks @VodafoneGroup for your imposed increase to the price I'm paying for my phone calls ... only 14% !! No ifs, buts, apologies. Not a hint of mitigation. Just 14%. Time to find a new supplier.

@StuartYoung002 @GBNEWS Driven by legislation. Legislation driven by politicians. Politicians driven by vocal public opinion. Public not fully informed about the complete environmental costs of EVs... needs a transparent and honest review.

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@Jannerlady @GBNEWS Completely agree. I'm not promoting EVs. Governments are. EVs have drawbacks including mining the metals/rare earths for batteries and then generating the electricity to power them. Needs careful consideration of the entire vehicle lifecycle, not knee jerk legislation.

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@MrMoz22 @GBNEWS The politicians decided - the same politicians who taxed UK drivers towards diesel 20 years ago before doing a complete volte-face! The whole 'well to wheel' pollution analysis needs to be discussed openly. Hydrogen is a possible way but making it economically is a problem.

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@Scarfer13 @GBNEWS Sadly true... I believe that hydrogen ICE power trains are the way to go. But science advances and investors needed.

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@wotasillybilly @GBNEWS It will happen, over perhaps 25 years, because the current legislation will force it. But it wasn't long ago that diesel enjoyed tax benefits over petrol! Legislation can change as science makes it clear that batteries are potentially very damaging to manufacture and recycle.

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@RDMoore007 @GBNEWS Please listen again. I wasn't promoting EVs, I was commenting on the legislation driven shift from ICE to EVs. Powering EVs is going to be challenging. I agree that hydrogen is greener but the science to produce in bulk (requires lots of electricity) isn't there yet. Mr Ego :-)

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@ColinGeranium @GBNEWS Completely agree... I believe hydrogen powered ICE is a much greener solution. Science and economics needs to catch up though to make it practical.

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@translunarmusic @GBNEWS Stories coming out of this sad failure suggest that it was a poor approach with inappropriate decisions by the leaders. It was a startup which never started. Too much propaganda, not enough quiet application. Very disappointing but I hope someone will pick it up and build it.

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@jessp711 @MrMoz22 @GBNEWS I was discussing the challenges the auto sector faced in 2022. The sector is moving to EVs because governments are forcing it. I was not proposing EVs as my preference. I think EVs have many drawbacks. My preference would be hydrogen power, but the economics need resolving.

[Kevin Gaskell @KevinDGaskell]

@DavidFergusonNI @GBNEWS I expect that EVs will become less expensive and ownership models will change (more hire / short term lease) but I agree, that doesn't solve the entire issue of protecting the planet. A lot more work and joined up thinking is needed by govt and industry.

'We're at a generational shift... The world is moving to electric vehicles - that is a massive transition.'
