Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story

The electric car grant has returned, but 0 for e-bikes. Why is the Chancellor ignoring a massive economic open goal that could fill the treasury's black hole, revitalise our streets, our nation's health, the struggling bike industry and much more? My take:

Opinion: Chancellor, the electric car grant is back. Now do e-bikes.
