As a BBC freelancer I couldn’t agree with
@GaryLineker
more.
He’s a freelance sports presenter, not a news or current affairs journalist and given that he’s opened his home to refugees he knows more about their plight than most.
Bravo Gary 🙌🏼

I’ve been an EV driver for years. I have two apps.
One is for for my car, which does brilliant things like help me manage my charging remotely and pre-heat it on cold winter mornings.
The second is Zap Map.
And that’s it.
More complete and utter bollocks from the Daily Mail. The headline is a flagrant lie. Drivers aren’t *forced* to download 30+ apps. In almost every case, the app is an added-value choice. You don’t *need* it. For the vast majority of rapid chargers, you just need a bank card FFS.

Lots of opinion about the dreadful Rowan Atkinson piece in todays papers.
Here’s one for everyone who thinks synthetic fuel is the answer.
e-fuels emit the same amount of NOx pollution as fossil fuels, so using e-petrol in our cars will have little impact on poor air quality.

The Prime Minister is behaving like my teenage son, delaying the tough stuff to do later.
Putting the brakes on the ban is a big mistake; by turning this into a political issue & kicking the can down the road he’s creating uncertainty for the industry & consumers alike.
