A committee of Cross Party MP,s seem to see what the Prime Minister, Chancellor, Energy Minister, Business & Transport Ministers and others that are the Cabinet members and who form the Government can not see or speak out on.

Grant Shapps MP is a bit of a 'spacer'

. Rishi Sunak MP just a happy clappy type.  All is good with him!

Thanks for sharing these links.

Quite worrying when the Govt's own figures, but their own admission, won't get the UK to its Net Zero target! (about 5m35s into the Ch4 link)

Big improvement over previous model and US journalists have been generally positive.  One good thing about Japanese manufacturers is Japan is also RHD cars but surprised Ireland getting the car and UK not.  Wonder how many grey imports there are going to be, lots I would guess.

 

US government has rated the 2023 Prius at 155 grams per mile, which works out 97 grams per Km which is still above EU target.  

 

Not sure how I feel about it really, better car than last version, taxi drivers love them, as said 5m sold is hard to argue with but should we have thousands in our cities, I am still undecided but it is quite practical one should accept.

 

Probably Toyota have enough Self Charge Models sold / first registered in the UK for the 'Fleet Average Co2 emissions' so do not need to bother with the kidolgy of these Hybrids at the moment.

They can concentrate on getting the Fleet Average for the EU where it needs to be.
