This woman thinks charging 3p per mile tax on electric vehicles is a good idea. Electric car sales have already slowed by a substantial amount over the last 12 months, she's about to kill off 90% of what potential sales there might be. Crazy!
The average petrol car in the UK does just north of 13 miles per litre.

Fuel duty is 53p per litre (58p if the 5ppl discount is removed in March).

That’s a cost of 4p per mile at present, 4.5p if the discount is removed.

So there’ll still be a saving in an EV.
 
Another non answer to the question posed.
What would you like me to say? We both know Labour have been an absolute disaster in Wales and have taken the population for granted because the majority of them can't see past the red rosette.

Not sure that's the point.

I didn’t ask what your view of Welsh Labour is. I asked if the kind of “sheep pattern” voting you alluded to only happens in Wales.
 
Out of every pound that we earn, how much is actually left when we've finished paying tax on absolutely everything.

Income tax, council tax, road tax, VAT, the list goes on and on.
Someone wiser than me once said that the UK population expect Scandinavian level public services while paying American level taxes.

Do they? I'd settle for a more competent government to get a grip and stick to the promises they made while chasing the public vote during the GE.

I guess the Labour apologist will always make excuses.
