GB News: Labour could introduce weight-based taxes for vehicles to end environmental ‘confusion’
Automotive expert Nick Molden suggests taxing cars based on weight to simplify environmentally friendly vehicle choices for consumers. He argues that car weight serves as a reliable metric for assessing overall pollution impact, including greenhouse gases and air quality.
The trend of increasing vehicle weight, particularly with electric cars, complicates environmental considerations. Molden proposes a system where drivers could save on taxes by opting for lighter vehicles or reducing mileage, aiming for a fairer approach to vehicle taxation in the UK.

The Telegraph: Reject £800m Chagos Island demands, former top diplomat tells Starmer
A former Foreign Office official has advised Sir Keir Starmer to reject Mauritius's demands for substantial financial compensation in negotiations over the Chagos Islands. Mauritius is reportedly seeking £800 million annually and billions in reparations to secure a US-UK airbase on Diego Garcia.
The UK Government has indicated it will offer financial support but has not disclosed the amount. The demands from Mauritius, described as “crazy money,” could jeopardize a deal made by Labour to transfer control of the islands.
