What I liked yesterday in the Telegraph was the piece just under the one moaning about the damage Trump's tariff will do to our car industry. This one was one pointing out that the 15 thousand pound per car fine for not meeting the ZEV mandate requirement was wrecking our car industry. We don't need Trump tariffs to damage our car industry, it's being wrecked by our vary own eco-loons in government.
The only UK car manufacturer under threat from the Sun Bed King is Aston Martin. Personally I ain't bothered one bit.
