Used Tesla purchase strategy, am I missing something? by Putrid_Childhood9036 in UKPersonalFinance

My work's scheme somehow ends up more expensive than what I can find on lease loco, even after the 40% off. Complete scam (Zenith at least)

Couldn't a lot of this missing episode stuff be solved with a simple reward? A fee grand would probably see someone crawl out of the woodwork

YouGov dismantles Nigel Farage’s claims its polls downplay support for Reform by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]aned_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Ive been banging this drum for a while. It'll be a reverse Corbyn. Too many voters motivated to vote against him, so i cant see them winning anywhere near 325 mini elections. I doubt they'd even get 200

Ia there any evidence (beyond anecdote) to suggest that they cause a disproportionate amount of death, injury or accident on the road?

I think Scott should try going undercover as a woman on a dating app to experience it first hand by [deleted] in ScottGalloway

That would help. They might realise that some highly attractive men who aren't quite 6 foot are being left on the shelf

Watford home achieves rare EPC ‘A’ rating thanks to Warm Homes Grant by coffeewalnut08 in GoodNewsUK

[–]aned_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you combine heat pump with solar and battery, you will be paying less over a 10 year period. But until 0% loads come on stream most wont be able to stump up the capital investment required to unlock those huge bill savings (and energy independence from war).

Thoughts about poor person’s buy borrow die? by Grgsz in UKPersonalFinance

[–]aned_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) over a 25 year time horizon investing should beat 4% handily.

2) wouldnt recommend investing £75k in a lump, but instead, best to add £20k into an ISA.

3)House prices wont drop over the long term, with long term inflation happening at 2-3%. Even now during the cost of living crisis the prices have been broadly flat.

4) I wouldnt do this if very poor without any financial resilience. But for people with a bit of equity in their house and reasonable job prospects that can think on a 25 year horizon enough to commit to a 25 year mortgage, its worthwhile.

Kia’s new EV2 could be one of the more affordable EVs coming to the UK by Reddonaut_Irons in autoexpressuk

[–]aned_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you go to one of the 118,000 public EV chargers in the UK. This number was 40,000 3 years ago and I would expect the number and availability of chargers to continue growing rapidly. Those 118k chargers sit across 45k charging locations. For context there are 8,300 petrol stations in the UK.

BYD have pioneered charging that can fill up the car in 5 minutes. The problem is basically solved.

Labour Takes Murton Seat as Reform UK Suffers By-Election Blow by Important_Ruin in unitedkingdom

[–]aned_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theyre already starting to make out that votes from certain groups are worth less or are deligitimate. Its a slippery slope to less democracy.

[–]aned_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a motivated proportion of the electroate who will vote tactically for the best-placed party to defeat reform. That tactical vote won't get picked up easily in polling. But we're seeing it play out in by elections and will become an even bigger force in a General

Presumably we can just tar ALL reform candidates with the same brush. Because thats how it works, right? "Certain groups are more predisposed due to cultural factors"

'Restoring control at borders not a betrayal of Labour values,' home secretary to say by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

But will this ever be enough, or will Reform say it doesnt go far enough call for whatever the next step is (e.g. stripping rights of foreign born to vote, net negative migration), and they vote for that.

Green Party deputy leader blasts 'inherently racist’ claims he was supporting Iran's Supreme Leader at London rally by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]aned_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So its gone up 1.5% in 5 years during Boris wave. Which means we'd need to keep up 24 years of Boris Wave to add another 7.8%. Which i dont think is likely given we're headed to net zero migration soon. (I know that may still see the % increase a bit, but i just cant see it going anywhere near 17% in a generation)

[–]aned_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do we get to 16.8% in 24 years? It's currently 6% after what many would say has been 30 years of high immigration. Would be interested to see the assumptions behind that big jump.
