Election Year or Fear!

I wonder how they will monitor the mileage for the levy on electric and hybrid cars that's to come in.

Saw an interview with Reeves and she was asked about it and she said MOTs but obviously new cars don't have an MOT for 3 years, all she said was it's easy to look at your mileage when in your car. Surely if you do mileage overseas that's not going to count either.

The tourist tax sounds like it's not excessive but it will put extra costs on accommodation as businesses have to administer the tax and alter systems to accommodate it.

Labour will be getting the tax rises etc in noe then they will throw in some reductions in the final year or two of this term,just as all governments do.

I saw that interview she seemed clueless in trying to answer it. FWIW if the answeris self certification the it isnt going to raise anything apart from profit for the "clocking" industry and a bit of expense in creating an electric car audit police
