It's a shame that the UK isn't making their own EVs. It's a nation with a long tradition of manufacturing and a working class hungry for opportunities.

Both Labour and the Conservative parties seem to have resigned the nation to only being a financial hub.

Yeah they sold off pretty much their entire motor industry to the Germans (Mini, Bentley, ..), Chinese (Lotus) and Indians (Jaguar, Land Rover).

Typical case of short sighted capitalism.
