Lol yes bro. If your lithium-ion battery has a designed life span of 10 years of use, it will be useless after that time. If you design cars where the battery is an integral part and cannot be replaced, the car is scrap when the battery is scrap. How do you not get that? Don't u use phones?

The 150-year-old building has a very new and different use compared to the policing days. James Hall & Co have taken on the building and opened a new shop. 🛒

Reform UK is a far-right party. There wouldn’t be any debate just a few years ago. But the fact there is now shows something very worrying about the direction our politics is heading.

Yeah, so we're going to build a house.
A house. Design-wise, it's a modern take on the Scottish longhouse, with a steep pitched roof, single storey with rooms in the roof, and an entrance porch built on.

I welcome the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Too many lives have been lost, and we will not break the cycle of violence until the people of Kashmir are given a voice. They should decide their own future — and deserve to live in peace and freedom like anyone else.

NHS planning to cut doctors/nurses jobs, maternity and A&E services to meet the govt's “eye watering” NHS savings. Cuts will force more people to go private. Healthcare must come before fiscal rules. Private firms milking 30%-40% profit from NHS contracts. End privatisation. Tax the rich.
