GB News: Manchester could be forced to pay back £22million after scrapping Clean Air Zone plans
Greater Manchester plans to scrap its Clean Air Zone, which was set to be one of Europe's largest emissions-based charging zones. This decision may force the region to return over £22 million in funding previously allocated for the initiative.
Local leaders will now focus on investment-led measures to improve air quality, including the introduction of 117 new lower and zero-emission buses. The government has supported this shift, with plans to redirect funds towards alternative schemes for reducing emissions.
Liberty Nation News: Guess Who’s Buying Guns These Days? - Liberty Nation News
The New York Times recently published an article highlighting a rise in gun ownership among diverse groups, suggesting that fears of political violence under President Trump are driving this trend. The piece featured individuals from various backgrounds who reportedly purchased firearms for self-protection.
However, data indicates that the increase in gun sales, particularly among Black Americans, correlates more with the pandemic and rising crime rates than with political leadership. Overall gun sales have declined since their peak in 2020, and historical patterns show that gun purchases often decrease when Republicans are in power.
