The Business Secretary has raised the alarm about job losses if a new Government edict insisting that 22% of new cars sold by manufacturers will need to be electric vehicles comes into force in January. The Telegraph has more.
Car manufacturers are warning they will not be able to hit a requirement that 22% of new vehicles they sell in 2024 must be zero emission models that are completely electric.
A manufacturer will be fined £15,000 for every polluting car sold over the limit, unless they can somehow buy in extra allowances from another company.
Mrs. Badenoch is understood to be concerned about the requirement, known as the zero emissions vehicle (Zev) mandate.
A spokesman for Mrs. Badenoch said: “If major car companies employing thousands of people are saying that there’s a problem, then it’s her job to look at ways to ease that problem.”
Net Zero has become a central issue for both the Conservatives and Labour, with Rishi Sunak under mounting pressure to delay the 2030 ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles.
Last week, the Telegraph revealed that Honda and Toyota were publicly urging a softening of the rules amid fears that they would be breached if implemented as planned.
Mrs Badenoch’s spokesman was also quoted saying “Honda and Toyota are not the only manufacturers who have raised concerns” and “Kemi has been raising their concerns with colleagues in the Cabinet”.
The accuracy of the remarks, first reported by the Politico website, was not disputed by the Business Department.
The Telegraph understands that government ministers are looking at new “flexibilities” to help with the crunch, but are committed to the introduction of the quota.
Despite the rules coming into force in just five months, the Transport Department has still not revealed its full approach of how it will oversee the scheme.
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: The Mail is reporting that U.K. car giants are warning of a potential investment exodus over the proposed £15,000 fines for car manufacturers failing to meet EV quotas.

If your going to keep giving thumbs down anonymously why don’t you answer and give your reasons for it?
I for one want to hear your views on these subjects.
That’s what this forum is all about, free speech, not cowering and condemning from the shadows! Thats for politicians!
I recognise a few of my previous offerings up there actually… 🙂 Yes I thought this was particularly shocking and deserves more exposure. I was hoping RW or JayBee might be able to shed any more light in case some details hadn’t been translated into English accurately. I hope we get to hear more about this story and the lady. Her situation should not be over-looked or forgotten.
And they have the nerve to imply Andrew Bridgen is an anti-semite! 😮
Who’s this minus -1 guy?
Persecute, kill the heretic!
“He said it again”
Just ignore the cowardly troll. I have at least one who spends hours each day pouring through all the posts hoping to find mine so they can downtick. Mentally ill cowards. This post will have a downtick before the day is out.
🥳🤩😇😃 Dead on, Comrade. Maybe we should get back to saying something really offensive to wind them up, like “Good morning!”🤭
I am quite a dab hand at the “Good morning” Mogs as I’m sure you are aware 😉
I always remember what you said to someone months ago along the lines of:
‘At least the red downtick adds a splash of colour.’ 😀😀😀
Yes your highly offensive ( a.k.a jovial ) salutations have been a miss around here for a while. Don’t think I haven’t noticed.😁 I thought maybe you’re just keeping different hours these days…
It’s not that my hours have changed Mogs.
Ok then, let’s see what the next few days bring.
Cue a downticker pile on.
😀 😀 😀
It’s just tongue in cheek guys, don’t get your panties in a bunch!

That means cheaper to manufacture, of course. Even if they cost nothing, the corporations will keep increasing the price as they did with the present batch.

One shot and you’re done.
Forever.
And so it begins…well, in May the EES becomes operational, to be precise. This is when anyone visiting the EU will have to submit to this kack 🙁
“In May the EU entry/exit system (EES) is expected to become operational in the 27 countries of the Schengen area that have abolished passport and border controls at their mutual borders (EU members except Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland and Romania, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland). The system will be used at external border crossing points to record the data of non-EU visitors entering and leaving the Schengen area. The data collected will include the person’s name, type of the travel document, biometric data (fingerprints and facial images), the places of entry and exit, and the length of their stay. With the EES, passports will be automatically scanned and border guards will no longer need to manually stamp them. The data will be kept in an EU-wide database for three years, which will renew at each entry.”
https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2023/01/the-netherlands-readies-for-new-eu-border-check-system/
The EES will be followed by ETIAS, which comes into effect from November 2023. ETIAS will become a mandatory entry requirement.
https://www.etiasvisa.com/
Note the following paragraph. I’ve underlined some particular points of concern. No doubt jab status will be a ‘health question’!
“The ETIAS application requests that travellers complete basic biographic information including full name, date of birth, and country of residency. When completing the ETIAS application, the applicant should provide their passport details. At the end of the process, there will be a set of security and health questions.”
Yes that’s right. I’m a permanent resident within the EU so don’t have to worry myself, however if people are visiting us from the UK this is a concern. I literally only know a couple of people who aren’t jabbed but I do know many who stopped at one or two, so given the length of time that has gone by since their last jab, does that mean they’re now classed as ”unvaccinated” because they’re not ‘up to date’? I really haven’t looked into all the minutia yet. And obviously it goes without saying that any biometrics taken and stored for years is a huge security concern and infringement on our bodily autonomy and basic liberties.
I think the reason they seemed to back off from imposing vax passports was because they knew the ETIAS system was in the offing. TPTB won’t want to lose an opportunity to clip our wings as punishment if we won’t submit to their draconian measures.
It is being introduced to “strengthen and protect European borders.”
Well UK borders couldn’t be more porous.
I don’t think this will go down well with the immigrants because we can’t let them in if they don’t comply.
Can we?
Don’t hold your breath. Rules will continue to be bent to accommodate as many as possible – at our expense.
ellie, I was being sarcastic.

These people could write a 500 word essay describing the inside of a ping pong ball!
A Midwestern Doctor with another quality piece, this time looking at the Covid vax trials with particular focus on the trial participants. Includes some videos and describes the disgusting way in which trial participants who ended up injured were treat, e.g gaslighted, refusal of Big Pharma to cover medical costs ( despite it being in their contracts ), VAERS reports not being registered on the system etc etc
On the one hand I wonder how anyone in their right mind would put themselves forwards for vaccine or any medical trials but you’d have to have a heart of stone if you didn’t feel sympathy and compassion hearing their stories of how they’ve suffered as a result of their decision to do this. Mind you, my sympathy comes to a grinding halt when we hear of the parents sacrificing their babies and kids on the alter of Big Pharma and they end up injured, such as the case for Maddie De Garay.
“The essential purpose of the COVID-19 vaccine trials was to do the following:
•Be completed in a much shorter time frame than normal so that the vaccines could make it to the market before the pandemic ended on its own (which is essentially what has happened in Africa where vaccines were never used).
Note: The FDA also understood the urgency to open this long-term marketplace and waived a variety of oversights that would normally be required using the present “emergency” as the justification for doing so.
•Come up with something that could be used to justify that the vaccines were “effective” so the medical profession could get behind them.
•Conceal any adverse reactions from the vaccines that would make the medical profession reluctant to recommend the vaccines and more importantly acknowledge harms they observed in patients during the rollout could be linked to the vaccine (as doctors acknowledging widespread injuries would destroy the public’s willingness to continue vaccinating).
Long before the vaccines entered the market, I started to see the signs an elaborate publicity campaign was being put together to frame the vaccines as the miraculous “solution” to the horrific pandemic situation (which was largely self-inflicted) we were experiencing. Once the vaccines became available, that publicity campaign kicked into high gear and became the most aggressive propaganda campaign we had witnessed in our lifetimes.”

The Malhotra smearers have quite a bit of egg on their face now that the CDC has announced its investigation of the stroke risk of the goo.
On masks, it amazes me that the current psy-op trend is in the very opposite direction in mask-obsessed Germany than it is in the previously somewhat more sane UK.
Is Covid really spreading and behaving so differently in two almost neighbouring countries?!
I read that about the CDC too, although I still think it smacks of a burglar investigating his own break-in…or Pfizer funding their own clinical trial.
“Pfizer funding their own clinical trial.”
They’ll be breaking new ground there then.
A trial you say.
Well it’s almost Davos time again and I’m very glad mainstream media is highlighting the very obvious hypocrisy of the globalists. “Do as I say not as I do” must be the theme again this year;
“Combating climate change is one of the big topics of discussion at the World Economic Forum next week. Still, hundreds of the participants from politics and business are traveling there in the least sustainable way: by private jet, according to Dutch research bureau CE Delft. Prime Minister Mark Rutte will attend the WEF in Davos, Switzerland, with six Cabinet members.
CE Delft calculated the CO2 emitted based on the distances flown to and from Davos and the type of aircraft used. In the week of the conference, about 9.7 kilotonnes of CO2 was emitted. That is equivalent to the emissions of 35,000 average cars driving from Paris to Davos and back, the agency noted. In average weeks, the combined emissions of private jets using the seven airports amount to about 2.3 kilotonnes.
Private jets emit much more greenhouse gases per person than commercial scheduled flights, which carry many more passengers and are therefore more fuel efficient. Depending on, among other things, the type of aircraft, a private jet is at least five times more polluting and, in the worst case, even 14 times more polluting, the researchers said based on an earlier study by environmental organization Transport and Environment. Compared to the train, a private jet is 50 times more polluting.”

All flocking to the summons of the bald one as he cackles with glee while stroking his white cat. Where is James Bond when you need her? Tied up in woke knots somewhere in Whitehall and struggling with active pronouns, James Bond (call me Mavis) is being brainwashed into the fact that the entire UK population are domestic terrorists. Meanwhile his/her/its boss, the dapper little guy who used to serve poppadums and learned to hate the English for their drunken antics and demands for more mango chutney, planning his revenge by marrying the super rich Mrs Rishi (difficult to say after a few Cobra lagers) and being super bright enough to do joined up writing and get a job with regime change bankers Sachsman Gold is on the phone….
“Ve need more cameras, Rishi, your people are a danger to society! Ve must get them used to cameras and digital ID before ve introduce our shiny virus and bacteria-free Happy Air Tokens.”
“But surely they ARE the society, Daddy Klaus?”
Slap, slap, slap.
“Ven vill you stop being a stupid little boy? Go and see Justin for your orders. He is a good boy.”
And so on it goes and we all watch mesmerised as our masters congregate once again to discuss our futures in the Eagles Nest Bar in Davos. Wow, they know all about everything and only have our best interests at heart. How can we not go along with all their big plans? They know best. Daddy knows best. Surely…? What could possibly go wrong?
Very funny Aethelred but sadly not far off the mark.

Ha, I saw this yesterday. Great minds… 😉
There is a definite degree of comfort in sharing similar views. 😊
Blimey, they’re not subtle. While Rutte and his colleagues are reporting back to the WEF and receiving more instructions perhaps uncorrupted Dutch politicians back home can organise a palace coup.
Some ‘Breaking News’ in the US….
The CDC have acknowledged a link between vaccination and strokes in over 65’s after the Pfizer Bivalent booster….
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/bivalent-boosters.html
Its very half-hearted, and I’m sure that there is more to come from this story…because…
Apparently the stroke ‘signal’ has not been picked up by VAERS,(?)… but by VSD which is the Vaccine Safety Datalink…..which conducts studies about rare or serious vaccine side-effects. It’s a collaborative project between CDC and various healthcare organisations and networks across the USA.
This from Chief Nerd on Twitter….
The VSD NEVER finds signals. It’s not a database, it’s a connection to a loose group of hmo databases. It’s highly subject to bias. If they are admitting to VSD signal, the problem is likely enormous. They couldn’t make it disappear. (For ref. the VSD found no myocarditis signal)?
“likely enormous”…….
I’m sure the Pfizer vaccine causes strokes sometimes, but it hasn’t been a prominent complaint compared to cardiac problems and other things, surely? Not picked up by VAERS? It’s almost as if they’re doing another “trial designed to fail.”
“We looked at the stroke question, but found nothing of significance. The vaccines are safe and effective.”
Yes it’s odd..I’ve just posited in another comment…my theory…maybe it’s an off-ramp? It would look better to withdraw the vaccines with this, a ‘few’ strokes in the over 65’s…..than massive heart problems in the young??
https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/health/bbc-f1-presenter-jennie-gow-25972210
BBC Formula 1 presenter Jennie Gow has issued a health update after revealing she had suffered a ‘serious stroke’ two weeks ago.
by odd coincidence……!?
Oh well, never mind.
For the moment this is a story to cover the real story – whatever that is.
Was going to LOL because this is so ridiculous…..but now I’m thinking the Daily Mail would have let the little German fellow advertise new and improved gas ovens….?
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11627695/Moderna-begins-trialing-mRNA-shot-injected-directly-HEART.html
Moderna is developing an mRNA shot that is injected directly into the hearts of heart attack and heart failure patients.
The ‘vaccine’ uses the same technology as the company’s flagship Covid vaccine and is designed for people weeks or months after a heart attack to help them recover.
Moderna will price Covid shot at $130 to match Pfizer, CEO reveals https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-11610451/Moderna-hike-Covid-shot-price-26-130-match-rival-Pfizers-CEO-tells-DailyMail-com.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton
Ebygum, on the same page as your link is this mind boggling article!
Please 🙏 please make it $1000000 a mg!
….apparently Pfizer have now said that the vaccine will remain free to the US Government if they want to buy it…? the new price will be charged against private Health Companies/Insurance…
I also wonder, with my other story on the CDC admitting the vaccine causes strokes, that it might be an attempt at an off – ramp ?? Withdraw the vaccine for a ‘few’ strokes, rather than the mountain of heart problems? Just a theory!
I read that somewhere else. Well I’m dying to hear Drs McCullough and Malhotra’s opinion on that!🤦♀️
“Run for the hills!” I say. Because if the mRNA pseudo-vaccine gave you the dicky heart in the first place why wouldn’t you want more of the same? Clown World logic; take the ‘hair of the dog’ approach!🤡
…it does make me wonder if it’s about to be pulled…so tell the Government they can have it for free…try to keep ‘interest’ up??
The Times …”The evidence showing the Covid vaccine is safe”
Barrrrr 🐑!
The times will probably be the last one still clawing to stay on the bandwagon!
Well this is getting more interesting!?
Laurence Fox…..
So, @thetimes
compare “anti vaxers” to grooming gangs, and the @guardian
invoke “hijacking” – the language of terrorism – to smear a cardiologist of colour.
Will they apologise for smearing @DrAseemMalhotra
Will their be outrage in Parliament?
The two headlines involved…
Times……”Andrew Bridgen, the MP who was ‘groomed by gangs of antivaxers’The Tory party lost its patience with Andrew Bridgen after a Twitter post on the Holocaust, Mario Ledwith reports.
Guardian…..”BBC criticised for letting cardiologist ‘hijack’ interview with false Covid jab claim”
Dr Aseem Malhotra
@DrAseemMalhotra
I’m considering taking legal action against the Guardian and the Times for racism. This is sickening.
Watch this space…..
Just waiting for a comment to be ‘approved’…probably because I’ve pasted a few Twitter comments….
Anyway the gist is this…the Times have run a story showing Andrew Brigden and Dr Malhotra in a photograph with the headline…..
“Andrew Brigden, the MP who was ‘groomed by gangs’ of anti-vaxxers.”
(Yes really!!)
Followed by the Guardian headline…”BBC criticised for letting Cardiologist hi-Jack interview with false Covid jab claim”….
Dr Malhotra has tweeted that he might sue both for racism…..
As I posted about this yesterday- I was amazed that the Beeb allowed Dr Malhorta to say as much as he said. I think the producer must have been asleep.
Bloody funny though 🤣
Much respect for Malhotra. He’s like a dog with a bone and keeps plugging away. Prof Heneghen, take note!🧐
What I don’t understand though, is he employed by the NHS? I thought he was, so I’m pretty surprised if he’s still got a job Monday morning.
I know what you mean about employment status. Or might it be the case that sacking Dr Malhorta now would certainly generate an avalanche of publicity given his now huge public profile?
I am not sure what is going on. The BBC invited Dr Malhotra on and must have been aware of his many statements linking the injections to cardiac problems. I don’t buy that the producer was asleep at the wheel.
Maybe it’s part of The Great Reveal or maybe the BBC, realising that the truth is coming out, want to be able to point to something as an argument against being a part of the propaganda machinery.
Tragic that we have to tie ourselves in knots double-guessing almost everything that is reported.
Fair point Michael.
We are ‘beset on all sides’ as we are well aware…
A good article outlining the machinations of the WHO…amendments to the International Health Regulations…
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/who-proposals-sovereignty-totalitarian-state/
Secretive negotiations took place this week in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss proposed amendments to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) International Health Regulations (IHR), considered a binding instrument of international law.
Similar negotiations took place last month for drafting a new WHO pandemic treaty..
While the two are often conflated, the proposed IHR amendments and the proposed pandemic treaty represent two separate but related sets of proposals that would fundamentally alter the WHO’s ability to respond to “public health emergencies” throughout the world — and, critics warn, significantly strip nations of their sovereignty.
