Imagine having an EV that doesn't charge when you need it to? We have had that for 5 months with a newish #Audi Q4 e-tron from #Harwoods Portsmouth. Sotware glitch - remains unresolved despite much back and forth. Disappointing from both. Handing it back.

Why has there been so little MSM coverage of what is going on in Iran ? It is historic . All focus is on Venezuela. ? #iranriots #iranregimechange

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

And we now know that Epstein and Bannon were involved with Farage. It sounds like a massive treasonous fraud was perpetrated on the British people. @bylinetimes.bsky.social

I hope you are wrong. Despite provocation it was not acceptable to react the way he did. He has an exemplary record and was contrite. However I expect a 6 months ban at least.

New: Boris Johnsonโ€™s โ€˜Brexit Titanic successโ€™ was half right Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer

๐Ÿ”ฅ Rachel Reeves says thereโ€™s a โ€œholeโ€ in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6โ€“8% hit to GDP

That's ยฃ180bn-ยฃ240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.
