A fluffy black cat with large white eyes lies on its side on green grass beneath a textured sky fading from blue to pale pink. White handwritten text reads: “Maybe sometimes you want to do everything so badly that you end up doing nothing at all. That’s okay. Maybe you’re more tired than you realise. I just hope you know that taking care of yourself counts as doing something, too.”

Jamie Kay Britain is considering tariffs on Chinese electric cars because of concerns over state subsidies. There’s a difficult balance here. Cheap EVs help consumers switch. Cheap subsidised imports can also destroy domestic manufacturing.

I'm sorry but I thought your statement was inaccurate so I checked online. I'm not sure where your 67% voting 'yes' comes from. A BBC archived report states the leave vote was 51.9% and the remain vote was 48.1%. A lot closer than your 67 /33% would be. www.bbc.co.uk/news/politic...
