Jaguar are buying back nearly 3000 EVs, as they cannot fix over-heating batteries!

Vauxhall is closing its van-making Luton factory and shifting to Ellesmere Port. Job losses, obviously.

Northvolt (Swedish company) a main supplier of EV batteries is filing for bankruptcy.

Lots of other news on MGUY's site:

All of that is true, Albs, but we can't change the result of a general election like some banana republic. We're stuck with them, and it's just a case of trying to play them at their own game by undermining their authority.
We are are now considered dinosaurs, and I take a kind of evil delight reminding the Labour voters around here that they deserve everything they get. How do you think ex-miners feel about all the woke shite that 'their' party is enacting? Not good, I can tell you. But they, too, are dinosaurs.

We ARE a banana republic already. Democracy, like free speech, is dead – or at least on life-support. As for undermining their authority, well good luck with that!

Plus, they could argue, in relation to tax, they said they wouldn't raise income tax, NI or VAT for workers. They haven't, although they might as well have.
Bitching gets us nowhere, I thought you may have been around long enough to realise that too. It's up to each of us make the best we can from what's available, moaning is counter productive.

It's getting so scary now, that bitching and moaning aren't enough.

That's the way democracy works in this country, suck it up. And let's face it, the Tories were a shit show.

If a government is elected on a set manifesto, then ignores it, that ain't a democracy!!

Besides which, without PR (which we desperately need, IMHO), this horrid lot would never have got such a majority in the HoC.

Those saying we should just "suck it up" should consider what the UK will be like by 2029. It'll be beyond saving.

We need to express out displeasure now!

Apparently, Rawdon Glover (Jaguar's MD) has said that reaction to the campaign has featured "vile and hateful intolerance".

When in a hole, stop digging...

I call BS on this.

I am not alone, however. Just read the comments under the video.

Three flights today...

First one, (D153 to R247) 7am from Germany to Lundun... "It's not going well" When we arrived in Lundun I did give him the R267 news. He took it well.

Second one, (D211 to R267) Lundun to Denmark... "I'm covering the election, I just need to send this email"
Actually, I need you to put your laptop away because you're sat by an exit.
"But it's really bad..."
Let me put it another way... When Alaska is counted, he's won. Everything else is gravy and delaying this flight for your email won't change that. The chap from Florida sat behind her had the decency not to laugh out loud

Third one... (D233 R274ish) Denmark back to Lundun. Twenty something boards in floods of tears.

Good afternoon madam, are you an anxious flyer?
"No, I ok, it's just that Kamalala has lost"
Worst case, tomorrow it might rain. But seriously, you've 155 ish million voters and the current tally is about 130 million votes cast... That's actually something to celebrate compared to the last UK election."

Off to the States on Friday... Could be entertaining.

Zzzzzzz - oops sorry, was I snoring?

Disrespectful comment.

I found it an interesting post.

That's probably the US Deep State/Establishment trying to discredit Musk because he's an influential Trump supporter and then there's X. As long as that exists as a free speech platform, they can't control the narrative.

Correct!

The WSJ publishes what the Neocons want published. Used to be an independent source.

People believe what they publish as being 100% accurate – rarely the case these days, sadly. Same with UK mass media.
