Extraordinary numbers, though predictable.

One in 10 cars sold in UK in June was a Chinese brand … 1 in 12 across first half of this year.

8.4% market share now vs 5% last year. JATO say EU at 4.3%, and just 2.7% for France and 1.7% for Germany

Australia had one disruptive Chinese auto brand two years ago. There’ll be twelve in the market by the end of this year.

They’re using the Aussies as a bit of a test market, but we’ll see the same in Europe in 12 to 18 mths’ time.

They’re delivering quality now at prices the likes of Tesla and VW can’t compete with.

ffs. not you as well...

For all of those panicking about the scale of UK national debt, net debt to GDP is around 96%.

As Trump signs his Big Beautiful Budget Bill into law, adding $3tn of debt to the pile and introducing multiple measures which will seriously hurt US productivity, US net debt to GDP stands at around 124%.

I bet you could find a quote from every single GOP in office criticising previous administrations for national debt.

As expected, tax rises coming in the October budget. Labour breaking their manifesto promises

Dr Richard Lawson, retired GP:

“As from tomorrow, I will be liable under the Terrorism Act to up to 14 years in prison for my membership of Palestine Action.

I am 78, married, a father and a grandfather, a Quaker, a retired GP & psychiatrist. My main aim in life is to look after my land and to play the flute, to prevent water pollution (LocalAction4Water) and to work to prevent war, both conventional and nuclear.

Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for me to die in prison. It is hard to believe that this is happening.”

Not clicking on that link, but breaking manifesto promises would depend on which taxes are increased, wouldn’t it?

They didn’t say that they wouldn’t increase taxes.

Exclusive:

Rachel Reeves has warned cabinet ­ministers that tax rises in the autumn budget are likely to prove even more challenging than the £40 billion ­package she imposed in November

The chancellor told cabinet on Tuesday that the decision to abandon welfare reforms meant taxes would have to rise to cover the cost

She said the rises in her first budget, which included a £24 billion increase in employers’ national insurance contributions, were ‘painful’ but were the ‘low-hanging fruit’

Tax rises in the autumn are likely to be smaller than last year’s but she is still expected to have to raise tens of billions of pound. Reeves told ministers that would be a ‘big challenge’ given that she has limited options

Ministers have been told that the spending review will not be reopened, meaning the bulk of any shortfall will have to come from tax rises

Economists have warned that the scale of the hole in the public finances means that she may have to break ­Labour’s manifesto pledge not to ­increase income tax, national insurance or VAT. There are also suggestions that she could raid pension savings, which was rejected before the last budget

Allies of Reeves say Labour rebels will have to ‘own’ the tax rises after they killed off welfare reforms

Tensions between #Türkiye and #Israel are rapidly growing and could escalate into open confrontation, — Financial Times.

Tel Aviv is growing concerned about Ankara's role in opposing a "greater israel" because they have their own imperialist intentions in the #MiddleEast.

It’s 1914 all over again

He’s actively trying to destroy America. Everything he’s done points to this.
