I wonder if Labour will listen. As much as I like 'drive by the mile' to replace road fund license any party that bought it in would have to do one hell of a good sales job else the public would revolt big time - I had a conversation on the subject years ago with our local Green party leader who thought the public would like it and know it would save most of them money.

I wonder if Labour will listen. the mile driving costs must be to cover the drop in fuel duties as people switch to electric. labour are inheriting a sh*t situation with few options for how to fix it.

zahidf Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Looking at the Euro 2024 schedule… England are likely to breeze through the group stages and then face a third place team from group D/E/F in the Round of 16. The quarter finals begin on 5th July. So the point at which there’s going to be the most optimistic fever around England’s chances (without much risk of an upset knockout) is… July 4th!
