The nonsensical 2035 ban on petrol cars and the rules on making mostly EVs from 2030 are unachievable. Ministers must know this. The longer they leave it to announce the inevitable reprieve, the more needless damage they cause manufacturers & consumers. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

I have a tranche more results and refusals to reveal, hopefully soon.

We don't need a pandemic treaty, do we even need the WHO?

I was WHO cancer chief, the organisation is riddled with incompetence and cronyism.
