Honestly the obr are my heroes for today, we got to file our summary before 5 and head to the pub. Usually we would have been sweating until 6 at least!

So I took the revolutionary step of <checking the actual numbers with a calculator>

EV sales in the EU, Jan-Oct, per ACEA

2024 = 1,172,737
2025 = 1,473,447

-> a rise of 25.6%

🤡🤡 "EV market slows" 🤡🤡

Followers may recall that the Times has something of a history here…

Well this is embarrassing for "newspaper of record" The Times:

Its coverage of EVs is the most misleading among UK titles, with 52% of pieces in H1 2024 containing at least one misleading statement

(The Daily Telegraph "wins" on volume, with 44 misleading pieces)

depressing that such a senior figure either does not understand or chooses to mischaracterise the IEA's work

<this is not a subtweet, but it could be about other ppl too>

Thanks. I cross post on multiple platforms using a tool. Many people not on Bsky or LinkedIn. Our summary of food land and nature outcomes at COP will have more on indigenous peoples.
