38 miles in my RS last year so definitely not paying for that.. My other car turns 100 years old next year so hopefully it's just media opinion bating

I hope so too Gordon. Like you I have several classics so taxing them all for the few hundred miles they do each year will be painful.

I’m sick to the back teeth of this government. Be no enjoyment from anything soon. It’s been in the media for a while now so there must be legs in it. 
 

It’s looming. 😡

Every government mate, no matter what party, they all spout shit and say what people want to hear to get into power, and then, well, just make excuses why they cant deliver what they promised.

Lying cheating bastards the lot of them

She'll take your sofa too.

Money grabbing Labour are just throwing it to other countries so Starmer can look good. The man is a Tool.

Rachel Thieves. Most hated government and that’s saying something after the shite we’ve had over the years. Countries gone.

I'll pass on that one thanks.

reform all the way

It should be noted that Rachel Reeves/Labour haven't made any suggestions whatsoever about scrapping the classic tax exemption.

So far this is just Tory scaremongering.
