I think it will more likely be done when the car tax is renewed. My car is zero-rated but I still need to do it each year.

Absolute bollocks. There was duty on fuel back when the only EVs on the roads were milk floats.

Fuel tax has never been earmarked for road maintenance.

You're forgetting about hauliers.

What if I want something actual facts that have been researched and put into writing by someone who knows what they're talking about?

To be fair I wouldn't expect someone like the Cheese Marketing Board to be pushing for more nuclear power.

What irks me is that we go from a report by an industry body to "Britainplots atomic reboot", as if this group is actually setting government policy. It's like the stories we used to get where one MEP floating some madcap scheme becomes a headline like "EU to ban/mandate [x]".

This one?

The word "robot" is doing some heavy lifting there.

And yet there still isn't an Ignore function...

The last time I went to a show I had to supply the names of who would be attending and we all had our ID checked at the door. We also had to have our tickets saved in our digital wallets, because apparently neither the venue's fee nor TicketBastard's fee are enough to pay for someone to print an actual fucking ticket. These obviously aren't universal practices (thank heavens) because they would have already stopped the scalpers.

I never had a LinkedIn account, but they made one for me anyway.

Do they make good tractors in China?

Can we please have a new story icon for AI slop?

I don't think they're leaving because they feel like they're being replaced. I think that they're leaving because despite these measures to reduce their workload they still feel like they're overworked and underpaid. It's not a new phenomenon, or even restricted to doctors. Professionals moving from Britain to Australia for better pay and better weather has been happening for years. The last time I remember it being in the news was when it was construction workers: brickies, plumbers, and sparks, etc.

I don't have any "antibacterial" hand soap but I do have some dish soap. It contains a tiny amount of alcohol and an even tinier amount of lactic acid. Truth be told I only buy that brand because I like the smell. If I actually care about disinfecting something I use those tablets meant for cleaning babies' bottles. (They dissolve in water to make a very mild bleach solution.)
