Reeves accused of pandering to China over Shein loophole
Bosses are furious after the Chancellor said the clampdown will take place as late as March 2029 so the Government can 'consult on the technical detail' first.

Good question! Please see: “Based on an average of 36 miles per gallon (MPG), a petrol car’s per-mile fuel duty costs currently reach 7p. However, diesel vehicles, with an average of 43mpg, achieve a cost per mile of 6p.”
How will UK pay-per-mile tax impact EV owners
The UK budget included a pay-per-mile tax for electric vehicles. But how will this work, and what are the potential costs involved?

The Mayor's remarks about loops are mysterious. But this is encouraging. Stocksbridge to Killamarsh/Chesterfield might be a useful priority
Hospitals and airport under consideration for future tram expansions
South Yorkshire Mayor Olive Coppard has talked to The Star about expanding the tram network to hospitals, as the return of a local airport promises region-wide transport benefits.

Etxeberria, San Sebastian 🇪🇦 1st visit. My favourite so far. C. 1983 tavern in the old town with stone walls and a thick patina of personalised beer and wine related décor, some memorialising a previous owner. In many ways the type of bar Bilbao should have, yet doesn't🍺👍🍷
