Here is my annual reminder that if Santa is bringing a games console, Santa might want to plug it in and turn it on and get all the updates done now, in advance, so that it is all ready to go on the big day.

"England's sewage scandal took place because successive governments failed to enforce the law for three decades". And that is everything you need to know in a single sentence. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

This is the first time the DfT has publicly said: “The flexibilities included in the zero-emission vehicle mandate mean we expect all manufacturers will meet their targets for 2024”. So no fines, hand wringing or apocalyptic industry collapse. Department for Transport ECIU

Coverage today of our analysis finding that, far from struggling to meet the 22% ZEV mandate target for 2024, the car industry is set to hit it Why? Because credits can be earned by selling EVs AND selling a lot of low CO2 petrol/diesel cars independent.co.uk/news/uk/depart…
