A Volkswagen ID4 in an MOT test lane

A Volkswagen ID4 in an MOT test lane

First MOT on our ID4 today, which threw up an interesting discussion about MOTing EVs, with the guy who does my tests.

He's not happy about testing many EVs. The problem is how different and automated a lot of their systems are, which causes issues and extra risk for testers

Who will pay for the failure of water bosses? Everyone but them | Gaby Hinsliff A harder rain needs to fall on those responsible for the water crisis. Let Thames Water fail – it doesn’t deserve a bailout, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff

What nationalisation satisfies, at least for people who don't just want to nationalise everything on ideological grounds, is a desire for retribution; for some sort of justice to be done, if we're now being asked to pay to clear the mess up. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
