Just means they'll tax us through the back door rather than the front door. I have no doubt most people will be worse off after the next budget, not better off.

If Labour want a fairer society maybe they can start by doing things like raising benefits for people with genuine disability rather than slash their benefits. Instead they are throwing them on the scrap heap (isnt it meant to be the tories that do that?) and taxing low paid workers directly and via the companies they work for. At the same time they are allowing bills to skyrocket out of control, just look at the increases by water companies while they still pour sewage into our rivers and the sea. I could go on but you get the idea.

Just to be clear, I dont support any of the current political parties. The tories have failed, Labour are failing, I dont support far left or far right and no one really represents my views.

First of all why only mention EV's? Surely if batteries are potentially going to be increased by that much capacity they will benefit many other people with huge potential for massive benefits to mankind, like medical provision, global warming by increasing storage of natural energy, providing power to remote places, etc, etc. Second, I expect a big backlash from oil companies who seem to be trying to push hydrogen vehicles at the moment to keep people reliant on them. Cars with a range of 3000 miles would kill that and their companies. In fact it would have the potential to massively impact the world as we know, including a massive impact on the oil states. This is far from just a piece of news that impacts only EV's.

Literally the first sentence says non-cash payment plans have been scrapped. The title is click bait fake news

I saw something on the news about this earlier, its down to a number of people who entered the UK on student and short term visas in 2021 following the "previous policy changes" mentioned here that only gave them a right to stay here 3 years. The "expert" on the news I saw said they have been waiting for years with the anticipation this will happen once those visas expire and people have to leave.

All that money from pushing most employed workers salaries down to as close to minimum wage as they can get away with has to end up somewhere.
