Labours Plan for Motorists | What will Labour Government mean for Cars and the Automotive Industry?

- Опубликовано: 20 окт 2023
- In this critical analysis, we delve into the UK Labour Party's groundbreaking strategies for reshaping the transportation and automotive sectors. With recent polls indicating a potential Labour victory in the upcoming general election, understanding their approach to automotive policy becomes essential. This video offers an in-depth look at the initiatives proposed by Louise Haigh, Shadow Transport Secretary, and insights from Jonathan Reynolds, Shadow Secretary of State for Business and Industrial Strategy, highlighting Labour's commitment to an equitable and sustainable automotive future.
Under Louise Haigh's leadership, Labour pledges a radical shift in transportation, including nationalising railways and bringing buses under public control. The party promises to combat rising living costs by confronting exorbitant petrol prices and unfair car insurance fees, potentially saving drivers up to £685 annually. commits to scrutinising hidden insurance fees and addressing pricing disparities affecting less affluent communities.
We also cover the proposal document: "Driving a Growing Economy: Labour's Plan for the Automotive Sector." Jonathan Reynolds articulates Labour’s vision of leveraging the UK’s robust automotive industry, currently employing 800,000 people and contributing £16 billion to the economy. However Labour's personal transport strategy seems to revolve entirely around electric vehicles.

If labour get in power we are screwed. How will they fund all their grand plans? TAX that’s how.
Incorrect. It will be even MORE tax.
But, This Country is no longer in a position to ‘ go quietly ‘ on a squeeze upon Motorists Without the motor industry We will have lost one of the last hopes of financial stability !
Lose the car. You also lose the Fuel Industry. Both are such large producers of tax revenue That no government or country would even consider jeopardising a trillion pound yearly golden gift !
Beside that, The Motorists are becoming quite volatile against Authority …
Just hope I’m right !
😮 they left a letter to to Tories, there s no money left? They spent it all.mmmmmm😅
Why does no one talk about pneumatic and hydrogen engines and fuel cells, Toyota even working on ammonia cars. We used to be ahead on technology, but unfortunately our politicians are not inventors and mechanical engineers. The future is not only ev. And generated electricity would be focussed for housing.
@@kenh3344spent a lot, pocketed the rest..
For most people reverting back 2030 will be a very good reason to not vote Labour.
That is true but many still will for 2 reasons 1) because conservative have done bad they think the alternative must be better which is not necessarily the case, the alternative could be worse . 2) labours last few manefestos were basically just bribes to everyone students , pensioners , young people , low income , no income etc
Unfortunately the Tories have the same mindset. Both parties are parts of the same globalist Uniparty. A vote for one is as good as a vote for the other.
I bought an electric car to improve emissions where I live. More investment and help for people to covert to electric cars to reduce emissions.
It's a nonsense, it's actually not practical for most people, and expensive, it has to be something else which is being looked at, a recent bit of news is that General motors I think it was have now put electric to one side and will concentrate on Hydration so they and others know electric is not the real answer for most peoples pockets.
The deadline will keep getting pushed back the closer it gets to the date
Please please do not vote Labour, just look at what 26 years of a Labour government has done to Wales. Wales now has a ridiculous 20mph policy, it is far poorer, young people are leaving to work in England, a broken tourist industry due taxing holiday lets.
Budget set by Westminster though......
@@michaelstanley3961which the Welsh Assembly have full expenditure over, and choose to spend on bullshit instead of public services
@@michaelstanley3961 which is which party?
@@ray-wm7ydLib/lab/con all WEF/UN globalist puppets. Vote Reform I guess but the future isn't what it used to be for sure.
@@coffeefish94 sorry but no. Expenditures by category are again set by Westminster. Local spend within those budgets are set by the assembly. I'm a Tory by the way. But we should be technically correct in our assumptions
Labour will tax is to death, look at what Sadiq Khan is already doing.
But I thought Kier Starmer said it was because of ULEZ they lost a by-election. Sadiq may even be voted out at the next Mayor election too, and it may not be a Labour Mayor.
@@josephmarsh8235 Hard to predict what Kier U-Turn Starmer will do.....
@@josephmarsh8235they'll keep his highway robbery scam in place though so whether he is voted out next time or not doesn't fix the fuck ups..
Look at who governs wales and the mess we are in
and yet under the Tories, we have the higest tax burden for over 70 years. How's that working out again?
Remember Khan is Labour. Vote for anyone else
Forgotten that it was Boris as Mayor that introduced ULEZ? Short memory.
Liblabcon are all in it together and you will end up penniless if you vote for them if you aren't rich.
@@djtaylorutube though everyone agreed to begin with, people were given 5 years notice, pensioners and disabled were given compensation and was done by democratic consultations and agreements with councillors and public. Khan expanded twice and starmers too corrupted to discipline him and KHA.
@@c.c.8841 Khan had Grant Shapps forcing the situation.
@@djtaylorutube yeah, then he got removed from transport to energy security and net zero, then to defense, would like to see him as minister for examining the inside of a cave. Khan could have said no and had plenty of opportunities to do so, now he wants an extra toll put on a tunnel.
I've come to the conclusion that the purpose of politicians is to cause the common man to become so disillusioned in the whole system that they start to think they haven't got a say in what's happening, the publics opinions aren't being listened to, and all the parties are as bad as each other, so why bother trying to engage with the system.
TBH, none of the political parties have been interested in what the public want them to do for years. They only seem to occasionally listen to us for the purpose of gauging what psychological buttons they can press to get the public to think what they're doing is for the good of the people.
The smaller parties have some great policies. But people on the whole aren't packing high IQ, to understand how low taxes won't mean the end of the world. And controlling borders is not racist. And they have no clue about infrastructure. Mission creep on reduction of freedoms etc. They have zero interest in personal responsibility etc. So labour are perfect for 90% of the country
Civil servants run all govenments all facless and unelected just like rishi, just jobs for the boys, nothing changes, not in my voting life.
@Reman1975 What pisses me Off , Parliament was set up to Benefit the Nation & Carry Out The NATIONS Wishes, All in Parliament were meant to work together to Benefit the Nation , the Govt, sat in Office Running the Country putting into Force everything Debated & settled in Parliament & Approved by the Lords Now You Have Opposition Parties sitting Calling down Ideas Put forward by Govt . then sitting back on their laurels slapping themselves on the Back,, Trying to score points for their Parties,, Instead of Coming up with Ideas to help settle matters , looking all smug grinning like Cheshire Cats, that's Not How Parly's meant to WORK,,, Political Parties should be Banned ,, Only Born British with an Ancestral Blood Line of British Born Parents & Grandparents are Permitted To Run For Any Civil Public Office's of Trust in The Settlement Act 1700 , IT Needs Re- Invoked .
Never mind the three main parties as none of them will ever carry out what they say we need a completely new party that understands ordinary working class people and labour used to be that party but not any more
The problem with labour is they say they’ll do this and that but they don’t say how they are going to fund it.
The tories are bloody useless but I don’t trust Starmer as far as I could throw him.
Reform uk best option 😉👍
@@mrcurlyrambo5009 A lot of people will agree with you ,but as we have seen with the recent bi - elections the Reform party has split the vote
letting Labour - in ,this is what happened to the Brexit Party and only Farage kept it afloat for quite a while .But people have seen these smaller parties cannot pries enough voters out of the house to get any sort of majority ?.
so dont vote for either of these shysters or the traitorous lib non dems.
Liblabcon are the same useless party. Reform for me.
Vote Reform ,if you want too live .
Most of the ridiculous anti car policies are happening in labour councils , labour will be hostile to motorists .
Any excuse to fine or tax people. Instead of putting UK citizens first.
Labour have been trying to uninvent the car for decades.....
@@Brian-om2hh They are famous for painting double yellow lines everywhere. The only solution they ever find is another tax or fine as a deterrent. Even when no one complains.
@@c.c.8841our Labour council has gone one further and is about to go mad with red lines everywhere.
Funded and encouraged by the Tories. They are all the same.
They will destroy the Motor industry. That’s what they do best.But the trouble is they do not seem to be able to tell the truth. They tell you great things like we are going to solve………., but never tell you how they are going to do it. Void of ideas
Nothing between the ears and empty promises
The rush to EVs will destroy German and Western car industries and accelerate China’s domination of vehicle supply 🤦♂️
the deadline that was started in the west did that damage that's why the car industry pushed eu for extension, were this labour guy is getting the info from is beyond me its defiantly not the car industry
LTN’s are championed by Labour. It’s *ucking laughable that they say THEY will reduce congestion.
Close roads off always reduces congestion. Not.
My Labour MP recently stated in an email to me “anything that keeps more cars off the road is a good thing”. God help us.
If all cars were removed rom the road, it would mean £35 billion per year less into the Treasury coffers. It would also mean the jobless total would rise by millions. Around 800'000 jobs would go in British car manufacturing alone, along with jobs at car dealerships, garage servicing workshops, tyre fitting depots, oil refineries, petrol stations, fuel tanker drivers, the AA and RAC, places like Halfords, car body repair shops, dozens of roadside eateries and cafes, local authority road repair crews etc....
@@Brian-om2hh tell that to Labourites. It won’t be all cars just those of us that don’t buy an EV…..furthermore small businesses that don’t survive don’t matter. They want more people dependent on the government for their livelihood because then they are more controllable….
@@badgerfruit4170 first of all you need to do more reading if you think EV’s are zero. Where is all the lost revenue from vehicle tax going to come from? Where are all the benefit payments going to come from for all those put out of work because they have insufficient public transport to get them to work?
How are suppliers to get their products from one end of the country to the other?
Wake up and start reading. Please.
You won't find much of what any Labour MP says on their web site because they are all saying different things, some are even preaching racial hatred.
Who is that?
@altvamp What drivel you are speaking?
@@imonlyhereforthecomments4267 Stop burying your head in the sand and watching BBC news, find out.
Reform party here we come 😊
Labour run authorities are spearheading the charges on motorists in the cities.
WE wont be driving anywhere, just waiting for the occasional bus, which we will have to share with the latest nut.
If you mean SadIQ Khan? Rather be on a bus with Jack the Ripper!
Mark drakeford has ended labour’s rule in wales 👌
Down with all dictators and tyrants...
@@jasonking442 definitely 👍
We can pray, they only won by default
Don’t forget those useful idiots
Liz Truss called Mark Drakeford a low energy Jeremy Corbyn.......
Without cars it will be waiting at bus stops being restricted to timetables
Just like the pre motoring boom. The wealthy also would love to see us arriving at work on bicycles soaking wet and cold. They get a kick out of people suffering.
Or get a sore bum riding a bike...
You will wait a long time as many areas of the Uk don’t have a bud service For example in Cumbria there are no bus services south of Egremont this extends as far as the Furness area approximately 50 miles away Live in that area you are stuffed And Ev chargers are very very thin on the ground
@@philldear3346 true a lot of councils have been reducing services for buses as well. Only inner cities have reliable bus services. In some rural countryside areas buses are rare to see now.
You will own nothing and be happy
Sounds like they will enforce maximum energy consumption from household's via smart meters to reallocate this energy for EV's !
I just wanted to add about car insurance and VED, really not looking forward to renewing my insurance in Jan 24, as I'm expecting it to be double what it was this year at £430 Comp, I've owned a lot of cars in my life, and 4 years ago I decided to buy a Diesel because the VED was a third I was paying on my same make Petrol Audi, and was sick and tired of paying through the nose to drive on crap roads, when I bought it in 2019 it was 10 years old, and the VED was as I recall £135 p.a, it has steadily been increasing £10 p.a. until this year when it went up by £20.00 just why... yet more money grabbing.
What I want to know is why, my car passes an MOT every year, without issue, no more emissions than last year or when I bought it 4 years ago, or indeed when it was brand new in 2009, Diesel keeps increasing in cost as does petrol, when I lived in Italy for a while Diesel was actually cheaper (don't know about now tbh) it seems to me the Gov changed the name from Road Tax to VED, some years ago so they could justify the yearly increases without doing anything to cover maintenance of our road network, more and more potholes seem to appear weekly, and the reason I surmise they don't get repaired is this mantra of speed kills so if the roads are full of potholes no one is going to speed.... problem solved, while all the time digging into our pockets and giving nothing back.
My insurance for my transit van went from £658 a year to £1900!!!! Save up you will need to....I have to pay monthly...im in big trouble now.....
@@Mark-cd3vd…that’s to fund the shortfall the insurance companies have due to the enormous cost of meeting EV claims….fires and collateral damage
Let's hope Labour never get off the starting blocks to get in government.
Labour policy, privatise the profit socialise the loss. Owned and controlled by the criminals in the WEF.
❤
So why are Labour politicians in London, Wales, Oxford and some other towns trying to drive motorists off the roads with ULEZ charges and draconian speeding fines for exceeding the ridiculous 20mph speed limits? ☹️
The WEF
@@user-tq1qd3iu2t…exactly
Not so ridiculous if those same speed limits save your life or a family member should you be hit by a car while crossing the road?
@@st200ol …get your bike out
@@st200olif you're really that thick you'd be safer to stay indoors but be careful you don't have an accident.
What will they tax in place of cars and fuel? Where will they get the money for the insane plans they want to put in place?
The biggest ripoff at the pumps, is the tax. So Labour propose to get to grips with the pricing by the suppliers. Umm!
Higher council taxes...
Just about everything else.....
Angela Rayner said clearly on tv that Labour will lower the speed limit to 20 the same as in Wales. It’s in their manifesto.
@@tvguy61 Incorrect. Driving slower means you do the same amount of work, i.e. going from A to B, but using less fuel as the faster you go the more fuel you use, so less emissions.
Who is SHE?
@@user-ve3fr2sz9c Depends on the car. Air resistance, gear ratios etc.If lower speeds are required ratios can be optimised. There is also the bonus that no one driving will be killed and pedistrian and bike injuries would be significantly reduced. Still if you ate Toad of Toad Hall bugger everyone else.
@@amracewaywrong, journey takes twice as long means MORE fuel burned, you will be doing roughly the same rpm regardless of speed, rpm, and run time are the 2 major factors into emissions, and momentum means less work for the engine and therefore less rpms, which is less emissions. The faster you're moving the less work the engine has to do to maintain speed (especially when approaching and climbing an incline), so 20mph limits, reduce your momentum and speed by a third, while adding a third to your run time on journeys which means more emissions, and by the way, most engines will labour at 20 in anything above 3rd.. so 20mph limits add a third to your journey time/engine running time, remove a third of your momentum and ability to maintain speed without added work from the engine requiring more fuel, but since you will be forced into a lower gear at higher rpm, your engine runs longer, hotter, faster, causing more emissions and wear, which results in more fuel burned and more parts to replace more often and all the damage to the planet associated with that also..
Long story short, you're talking complete shite.
@@MDM1992 With the greatest of respect the optimum speed for fuel efficency for a regular car is about 70kph. That is due to gearing. If geared differently lower speeds would be more efficient.
The biggest cost for petrol and diesel is the tax.fuel is the only item that is taxed first and then taxed again with VAT.
I wouldn't believe a single word from the Labour Party when it comes to the motorist. Just look at the London Mayor and the Welsh 20mph tyranny.
As far as I am concerned labour wants to nationalise everything. Which is a bad idea.. it is not necessarily cheaper in public ownership. Keir Starmer is a disaster and is obsessed with net zero for our one per cent of emissions.
The railways were in public control for much of its existence, and cost lots. Privatising it is supposed to make it more efficient, but in reality, just creates wealth for shareholders. Renationalising it will not make it profitable, but will mean that taxpayers will be subsidising those that do use the trains.
Since the railway was so called privatized it costs the uk taxpayers a hell of a lot more to run as it is so fragmented with different entities running each part funded by government contracts for each part. Believe me I worked for them for decades. A lot of the time each part is billing the other through the sub contracting of labour force. Contract staff doing the same jobs as NWR staff on twice/ treble the pay . Biggest myth in modern uk transport history’ privatizing the rail network saves money 😂😂🤣🤣😆
HS2 cost 92 billion and will not be completed. A Tory disaster..
UK gas producers and electricity generators may make excess profits totaling as much as £170 billion ($199 billion) over the next two years, according to Treasury estimates that lay bare the revenue-raising potential of a windfall tax.
god help the motorist if labour get in and genghis replaces starmer as head of the party
Imagine Khan running for Prime Minister........
@@jasonking442 good old genghis i'm sure he thinks everyone loves him and wants him in charge of the country
More likely Rayner🧟♂️ will be PM if the hard left oust Starmer 🫣
This report sounds suicidal for the UK economy.
Reform all the way 👍
I couldn't vote for Reform until I knew more about their policies. What's their policy on Health? Transport? Pensions? Social Care? Schools? Utilities Infrastructure etc.......
The battery is good for a long time providing you don't have a bump which then compromises its integrity but the main issue is they are full of tech that not everyone can afford to fix if it goes wrong and we all know electricity and water don't mix and being the UK we have plenty of rain.
@onlineaccount i was thinking last night about how many EVs got caught in these Floods , battery compartments full of water . 1 short in that box , you never know.
You don't need to have a bump, just go over a bad pothole, and crack... the battery pack is compromised... 20k Repair bill or write off after of catches fire... and you might have a fight on your hands with insurance if that were to happen....
@douglastodd1947 That's it, so many things could happen leaving you with a huge paper weight
@@jasonking442 providing you can get insurance as some are apparently not insuring evs now with the battery cost and storage,
@@onlineaccount Reality of EVs is starting to bite. No wonder the Governement is starting U-Turns..... You can only deflect reality so long....
Does anyone actually believe what liebore say?
Years ago they used give you notice of the petrol price increases would be from midnight on such & such date, and people used queue up nationwide to fill up to try and save some money.
''Nationalise the railways''! That old boot has been kicking around for years, and all these talking points for motorists, who do they think they are trying to kid, it's just Blah Blah and not even promises. Is this the Haigh manifesto, she probably won't even be in the job when Starmer decides to shift her to somewhere else to get rid of her and her 'promises'. It's politics, plain and simple, vote catching for the gullible, except I don't expect there will be many that fall for it, because of two things that always escapes them, and that is track record and memory, we remember what they have said in the past and more importantly, what they have done. They can be trusted as much as the Tories, they are the same political animals after the same bone, power, so whatever passes for promises are as good as the weather, entirely changeable.
Nationalise everything is *exactly* what the Unions are waiting for........
❤ RIP Sir Bobby Charlton
We are already screwed with tory idiots
On soaring car insurance, I just recently changed vehicle that is used to transport my disabled dad about and I couldn’t believe the prices I was getting quoted. I’ve never paid as much to insure a vehicle and I’m 54 now.
You are a star sir . Thank you for putting so much effort and time into your videos.
🙏🏽☺️
I watched a video from China this morning, it was 2 days old regarding the demise of the EV manufacturing and closure of factorys, it is running into billions.
It's nothing to China. They have over 200 EV manufacturers.......
Labour as usual talking a load of bull.
Really can’t be bothered with any of them there in a dream world . We can’t even build a railway track across the country
The trouble is if you don't vote, you remove yourself from the *ONE OCCASION* when you can have your say. You really should vote. People have fought and died for the right to have the vote......
Tell you how Labour will rase tax from you. Ie. Tax everything that goes in you're home.
Council tax 50%+, job done....
How the hell r they going to support the building of these factories. With out rasing tax. From the public.
In the EU it's 2035.this country is flat lineing.
This is fantasy politics. Not a chance in hell of much of what is in this document being brought to fruition.
Why don't they just put a swastika on a flag instead of calling themselves labour
They ought to change their name to Hard Labour, because you'll be working longer hours to pay more taxes.
I know everyone thinks labour going to get in !! But should we be looking remove the 2 party system??? After Friday I think we all know the answer!!!
OMG not another Labrador government: life will get harder!
liebour want everyone on public transport. except themselves in their luxury expensive cars. everyone is equal but some are more equal than others right
The agenda is driven by the UN, WEF, WHO and all the huge corporate interests. Government sits firmly below that and all they do is create interesting sounding spins based on what the agenda dictates. The whole argument about Co2 is flawed. Co2 makes up 0.04 % of the gases in the atmosphere and if it drops below 0.02 % plants stop growing. Countries like the Netherlands have recently cut food production in greenhouses to help meet EU directives on climate change. To be perfectly honest a proper open informed debate is needed without any avoidance of difficult issues, that are being avoided in the interests of preserving politically correct agendas. And that would be a good starting point. Many people won't see the connection, but trust me, the connection is there
On top of that even if the UK was already net zero... We only produce about 1% of global emissions
during last big freeze co2 (plant food) fallen to 180ppm, at 150ppm plants start to die. only because carbon we are here today if it continued to decrease and big freeze continued for bit long we not be here today
Great and interesting Vlog Shahzad,
Best wishes From Edinburgh Pal.
Sad thing regarding the motor industry, 1963-73 average carproduction 1,800,000,export 700,000, to Europe 400,000. In 1972 peak 1,921,000 cars 500,000 + commercials 1973 we exported 824,000 cars. At this time there was around 11,000,000 cars, compared 33,000,000 today, When BL closed it was estimated that 1,500,000 jobs were lost in the UK in total.
The figuers we see today look great when compared to yesterday, not so when looking further back
Thank you BCG very informative 😂😂
Scaremongering again to get their way!
Children going without good food & heating to pay astronomical 'fines' for heavily overcharged motorists, petrol, road tax, insurance, fines.
I want to see the battery graveyards in 5 years time, 'damage to environment' 😂.
I'm mid 70's & refuse to make a 20 minute car journey turn into one & half hours bus travel. Standing on wet cold bus stops, sitting in cold, stuffy boxes, with nasty bad tempered people pushing & shuving causing arthritis to flare badly.
I wouldnt put my grandchildren in EV's to queue endlessly to charge a vehicle at night, then have to sit waiting for it to charge, a mindless never ending process it seems to me.
Vote reform hopefully they will eliminate half these problems.
Thanks for all your honest reports BCG
I’ve just been sent a leaflet How to prepare for Power Cuts 😂😂😂
And you'll get them if Labour gets in, because the Unions will be rejoicing. And not long after that their demands will begin.....
Loads of omissions here. No comments on over-zealous use of ANPR for financial gain, 20mph limits etc. No mention of what may or may not happen to existing ICE vehicles, classic cars etc, repair and restorations etc. I'm afraid to say that the document is very wanting. Thank you for keeping an eye open on things like this for us BCG. Kind regards.
I know of two recent examples of private “owners” leasing cars, trading them in for replacement at the dealers invitation, when the cars were only one year old (6000 mile EV) and two years old (diesel, mileage probably even less) with one of the incentives being the lease would be lower on the new car than it was on the old. Is this a common thing now? Who does it benefit?
They will help us save on the cost of tyres and servicing by helping us reduce the number of miles we drive by measures that help us to walk or cycle instead...
Really excellent report from you thx
I had to go to Cornwall to pick up a Ulez compliant car. It was over £170 by train or £90 to hire a car for a one way trip plus the fuel. It was cheaper to hire a car for a one way trip.
Britain the only country with a blanket 20 mph speed limit under labour. Day trip to the seaside think more like a full weekend trip to the seaside and get a moon tan instead of a suntan.
There is no way that they can expand the grid infrastructure, and power generation, by 2030. And why are they apparently concentrating on electric vehicles, rather than helping to develop cleaner, and more efficient alternatives?? Their biggest problem will be their obsession with stopping fossil fuel generated power, and relying on more solar and wind power generation. This cannot be achieved, and certainly not by ,2030.
Most electric vehicles already operate at 80 to 90% efficiency. What sort of vehicles do you envisage achieving even higher efficiency still? The grid doesn't need to be expanded by 2030, as that was simply the date of the original ban on the sale of new ICE cars and vans. Millions of existing ICE cars and vans would continue to be used for 15+ years after the ban was introduced. You appear to think the change will be like a light being switched off. It won't. It will be a gradual process taking a decade or longer.....
@@Brian-om2hhYou seem to have forgotten about the 2025 ban on gas boilers in new homes and the probability of labour reinstating the policy of the reinstatement of the 2030 ban on domestic gas boilers. This would put enormous pressure on the national grid and let's not forget the likely increase in the number of EVs , if they haven't all burnt out by then.
Good video . Good information👍🏽
Sounds like they want to compound the issues that they implemented back in the day with red lights every 75 yards and congestion zone payments that only seem to fund 20-30mph blanket speeds and cycle lanes which aren't helping with congestion, but could actually be contributing to danger to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.....
What's the point voting or Labour there worse than Conservative thay don't do what they promise.
we need to vote for someone new, someone who cares for Britain 🇬🇧 and the people.
We need to bring Britain back
Good education,
look after NHS .
Train British nurses & Dr to care for there Patience and look after them when sick
They must speak good clear English .
pay them better wages So they will be dedicated to there job.
Bring back our shops so people can work pay them £12 Hour
no more than a 7 hour shift a day
BANK HOILDAYS SHOULD BE FOR EVERYONE.
LOWER RETIREMENT AGE TO 63 THEN THERE BE MORE JOBS FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE AND UNEMPLOYED .
FREE GAS & ELEC FREE CANCEL TAX , WATER , TV
FOR OVER 63
Stop homelessness.
Most of all Stop paying British money to other country's
LOOK AFTER BRITION FIRST.
Send All asylum seekers home
Stop wars bring peace 🇬🇧. ❤
its a major issue that private companies who have built windfarms cannot connect them to the grid they pay a fee of about 9 million pounds and join the que this disrupts profits to their shareholders a typical wind generator must have a return of around 140 thousand pounds a month after running costs and they are not producing any power because the grid is not capeable of taking any extra capacity until the overhead cables and substations are upgraded.
because of this problem no more windfarms or solar plants are being built . The whole thing is doomed to failure unless someone gets a grip on the national grid and upgrades it to take the extra capacity, they are simply waiting in the wings to connect to the grid and the typical lifespan of a windfarm is only 20 to 25 years , the investors are waiting for a return on their investment up to 6 years before they can get connected thats a big loss in proffits for the orriginal investors.
Like Rishi, Starmer works for Davos, not for the people of the UK. Don’t forget that. Nothing will change. I’m voting reform
We cannot afford another labour government and a 'liam byrne' note saying the money has gone
Consocialists won't be leaving any money either as we're in debt for trillions. Always money for wars and newcomers and taxpayers just get fleeced more.
Ffs it’s now far worse than when Liam Byrne left that note!
Exactly!! And they'll do the same again.......
If any of this comes to policy - then probably there will be a surge towards labour as most of this is just us common folks trying to live on a daily basis !
A major thing the grid needs is to fully and properly support diverse demand. Most of the grid is very old by now, and when designed it was thought large centralised plants would be the thing. With green energy almost the exact opposite is true, lots of small wind turbines and solar farms dotted around everywhere. Particularly in rural areas not well served currently.
There's also an element of technology missing. How do you go from coordinating 50 large power stations, to 5,000,000 wind turbines and solar installations.
On top of that, in the future it's expected almost every home will be generating power itself, and have an EV sat overnight able to give and take power. how do you coordinate the 50 million residential solar, and micro turbines. How do you coordinate 35 million EV batteries and balance it all.
The technology there needs to allow communication to and from every producer and consumer so real time demand can be met with as little as possible going on the long distance grid due to the losses involved there. So power used in your town will be generated in your town, or at least not too far away.
The problem is how much we'd be being ripped off. Because lets face it... why should the electricity company get thousands of pounds a year per person, when we're all using the power each others houses generates? and the power company is just topping it up with a couple of wind turbines. So I can see a change from pay per kWH to a flat charge for 'access and services' relating to the 'smart-er meters' and controllers that would be needed to regulate it all.
Kal,
pie in the sky, it is impossible what you propose and extremely expensive to boot.
The grid evolved from realatively small generating units serving local areas. It made sense to link all these smaller units of generation as it is more efficient, more secure and reliable. You want to reverse that?
Also bad driving is probably the worst thing clogging up our roads.
Be careful blaming oil companies for prices. I used to work for a company that was accountable for about 15% of UK fuel. We used to make about £150 profit on a 30,000 liter road tanker
Where do they make all of their record profits then? Thin air?
@@imonlyhereforthecomments4267 volume, for us about 1200 trucks per day. Global consumption is about 15bln litres a day
New powerstations that is funny they are still building sisewell B, and hinkly point is out of Commission since 2022.
I would not go electric or plug in anything when it comes to my vehicle. But I am torn between the internal combustion normal cars and petrol electric self charging motors that don't need to be plugged in. I find they are more economical and have more horsepower. What is your opinion, Please advise me I would be most grateful. To make matters worse I am stuck to the list of available vehicles on the Motability scheme. I often think that that is just an excuse for me to sell my current Seat Leon 1.6TDI 2010 which is better than some modern trims. Then the government could scrap that scheme and I would have no car at all? . I need something to tow my 750kg unbraked camping trailer and carry my daughters car seat. Please reply
Hybrid cars are great, they are a sort of best-of-both-worlds type of vehicle. Tons available now, lots of great choices. Some reviewed on this channel. All the best!
Ive had a Kia Niro HEV for almost 4 years and got an average of 53mpg pretty good for a medium sized crossover. Ive had a new Niro picked up last week done 300miles and got 62mpg since filling up, I just love petrol hybrids.
Tidal power is always there,once captured with charging machinery,the cost would be minimal.
Cornwall spent millions on a wave power hub in St Ives Bay. A white elephant, never used and then shut down.
Seeing as the power of the tides is totally free,it leads me to thinking that the reason it isn't being adopted is because it would interfere with the profits of the present power companies.
The UK is surrounded by relentless free power,day and night,the tides,so why are we not making use of it
VOTE VOTE VOTE REFORM PARTY this are only hope
Question; the average family car (Yaris) emissions per year is around 730kg while a house emits 1.1 tonnes; isn’t it logical to address the larger emission source first?
Take the battery in a Kia EV6, 77kWh, that could provide up to 11 homes with a 6.5kwh back-up battery for PV solar and or wind turbine, reducing the reliance on mains power, especially coal/gas generated power. Wouldn’t that be the logical approach to the fabled Net Zero?
Talking of larger sources - Chinese annual CO2 emissions 10 BILLION TONNES, UK 330 million 🤔
A low carbon energy “super power!!!” How big do they think this tiny island is🤔?
They will tax the working class off the road
If they do, then the Treasury coffers will see a yearly reduction of around £35 billion......and the jobless total will rise by millions, and the economy will collapse into recession. How will that benefit the Government?
Sorry, not got 40 mins.
What's labours plan?
Car insurance is a pain. Recently a car hit my car. a camera showed the crash had nothing to do with me. As I was nowhere near the car. The insurance agreed that it was the other driver's fault. But decided not to pay out. So what is the point of car insurance if the insurance won't pay out on an accident that clearly wasn't your fault
you need to take the to court, get legal advice build a good case
@stevekenilworth. I tried that. Solicitors don't want to know or they want paying upfront. If you are on a low income, you can't afford it.
if that happened to me the car worthless id give it them through the front doors of the hq but when closed so you did not risk life . that is disgusting the way they treated you. the way i see it as im low income disability so take my car i got nothing to lose when a person got nothing to lose they become dangerous. id be happy to see jail for big company who wronged me they need to start seeing the public anger @@jonstorey6414
It makes sweet FA what they say before they get into power, once in, you'll see exactly what they'll do.
ultimately i think that ev's will have to be made in GB, who would want to transport 100's or 1000's of EV;s on cargo ships, with 2 ships being totalled, along with contents.
insurance companies may refuse insurance for this transport method.
So why would anyone even bother building those toxic monstrosties here either?
Some EV's *are* already manufactured in Britain....... Statistically, an ICE car is around 50 times more likely to catch fire than an EV.
@@Brian-om2hh Depends how you calculate your stats. If you are just comparing numbers then there are many many more petrol and diesel vehicles in existence so straight numbers are meaningless. If its a percentage of the total number I do not believe that stat is true at all and even if it were the type, degree and extent and consequence of a fire in an EV is off the charts worse than in an ICE vehicle.
Don't want either of these WEF shysters and traitors. I do not consent.
Very few people buy new vehicles period. Most are very old second hand.
From what you say labour will be evdn worse that tories. It will wrech such manufacturing and motor vehicle industries we have left.
I wont be getting an ev or battery vehicle. I will stay wigh my little friend ice powered. Its far superiour to an ev system.
If everyone had ev battery vehicles the national grid would not be able to cope with demand. Obviously there are no engineers amongst them.
Most new cars are leased by large companies etc. But once the leases expire, those cars are sold on the open market for anyone to buy. Personally I'd ay most used cars are from 12 Months old downwards. Even those "very old" secondhand cars you mentioned, began as new ones at one point.... you can't have very old cars unless someone buys new ones!
Sounds like labours wish list.
All of the party's are in bed with the WEF.
I don’t like this move to EV’s - it’s as if no other option on fuels, ammonia, hydrogen etc are being considered???
Which makes me feel that yep, no car guys, just politicians…….
Politicians are all talk, no action.
Anybody who listens to your common sense wording should be impressed as most politicians just arn"t petrol heads and Labour transport ministers have a a long history without driving Licenses and without much idea .And put my name down with the others on here who don"t trust the Socialists ,Starmer has done more than 30 U turns since he became leader of his party and could you really trust him ?. I still have a collection of classic vehicles and at 74 I look like having a mobility scooter as my next transport which looking at my late wife"s dealings with them as an electric vehicle was at best woeful ,as a retired mechanic ,starting in the Royal Navy and then going on to the Merchant for years and retrained as a vehicle mechanic ending my working life with Nissan .I will be hard pressed to give up my i.c.e. Bikes & cars . Keep - up the good work ! .
🙏🏽☺️
did you know that they do not give you 60% no claims discount any more it is now 30% as a max
I am confident that Labour will increase spending on public transport. In London. Not confident they will do much for the rest of the country.
Hi . I am curious as to how I have 2 vehicles .the first is a 2015 diesel 308 , emissions are 93 kg / km . And is zero road tax !! But is not ulez compliant ❤.the second is a 2005 seat ibiza with 142kg /km and £200 road tax and is ulez compliant. Really .which would you consider as more polluting? ❤
ULEZ is based on NOX and particulate emissions not CO2 (Euro 4 standards for petrol, Euro 6 for diesel) browncarguy.com/2023/09/28/ulez-everything-you-need-to-know-part-2/
So it is a diesel tax then
@@davidimpey4937ULEZ is a localised tax on vehicles which produce high amounts of certain pollutants that are damaging to health, to try to protect the health of people in that area. VED is based on CO2 emissions which cause global warming. Diesels are generally better for the planet from a global warming perspective, but they produce nasty NOx and particulates which are bad for anyone breathing in the fumes. VED and ULEZ have two different aims.
To good to be true.
What about road charging
Well that will almost certainly happen, but we don't yet know what form it will take.
You might as well be reading out a fairy tale.
Oil is free out of the ground! Un maned pumps etc!. It's all profit and tax. Fuel costs a few pence at the pumps in some countries, I think Hong Kong is the dearest. Its all a rip off to the motorists
Reverting to 2030 policy is the tail wagging the dog I'm afraid. Don't tell people what to buy. We're not stupid.
I believe the Tories will scrape back in, losing the seats garnered from get brexit done, but just pip in. When push comes to shove. Labour are a bit scary right now.
Fed up with saying it sell the car pack your job in stay home with your family and have a great life and the new labour government will provide 👍
How are we going to get insurance for a ev when they keep setting fire to everything.
Govt cant lower insurance its baed on actual costs.... bump an ev its a write off hence highe price . Labour are a death bell for us all
An accident damaged EV is not necessarily a write off. They can be repaired, just like any other car. An increasing number of garages are now HEVRA qualified..... Cleveleys Electric Vehicles in Gloucestershire, have been repairing electric vehicles and refurbishing battery packs for some time now. Other similarly qualified companies are doing the same. You just weren't aware of them.....
Aah, the return of British Rail cheese sandwiches (when available). Can't wait.
Hate most of what the lefties are up to but the idea you can have competition on railways when all they do is grant licences for monopolies is bizarre. There is zero competition so it is a daft proposition from the get go unless it is just a way of money laundering public money to private companies which of course is exactly what is. The WEF want an extreme form of communism so I can see them using Labour to get this aspect back under the wing of the state.
