Blyth Gigaplant

[PTR]

Cos Blyth voted Tory. Now they have egg on their faces.

Fair enough mate, I see your point now.

Still shit news for the region though.

I bet there's been a few tail between the legs phone calls over the last 24 hours. Fortunately there's a few manufacturing jobs around at the minute, but I wonder how many burnt bridges when they jumped ship.

So do you as it's in Wansbeck and benefitted people there more so than Blyth Valley. Awful crack.

Where's these 300 jobs that are reportedly getting lost?
What are they doing?

I know it is, I actually mentioned on this thread how it was in Laverys constituency several months ago.

Wondering wtf they agreed to those wage cuts in November.

I imagine at Blyth the jobs would be in construction and largely admin staff at HQ.

7 years away from the 2030 deadline for no longer selling petrol/diesel cars. There is such a long, long way to go to build confidence in electric cars.

Add to your list - Charging times and finding available charging points when on a long trip.

It'll be put back to 2035, then 2040. And by that time it will be just as (or more) expensive to charge them than it would be to fill a petrol/diesel car. All in the name of the environment, as long as the big businesses also profit more from it.

It is now if you don't have the luxury of home charging or work facilities.

So the political point makes you laugh at the expense of the region ?

Home charging on a cheap off peak rate at that.

Surely that depends on the price of oil and the price of electric.

as long as the big businesses also profit more from it.

Electric or petrol/diesel they will.Would you prefer the Saudis etc (oil) or the mainly European electricity suppliers?

It was never going to happen anyway. Boris lied about it and the thickies lapped it up.

Can you link me to the post you made earlier in the thread where you said it was never going to happen ? And you are calling the people of Blyth "thickies" ? I guess they'd better get on board with Labour to improve your opinion of them.
