Ferrari’s £475k EV mocked as £32k Nissan lookalike

Ferrari’s £475k EV mocked as £32k Nissan lookalike

Ferrari has run into a wall of derision over the launch of its first electric car, which was branded a lookalike of Nissan’s Leaf that sells for almost 15 times more.

Shares in the Italian carmaker fell more than 6pc after the official unveiling of the battery-powered Luce. Investors feared Ferrari’s launch could become a repeat of Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) controversial failed rebrand.

Nicola Sturgeon ‘has questions to answer’ about husband’s crimes

Nicola Sturgeon ‘has questions to answer’ about husband’s crimes

Nicola Sturgeon “utterly failed” the SNP by presiding over the party while her husband defrauded it out of hundreds of thousands of pounds, it has been claimed.

While a police investigation into the former first minister was dropped after she was arrested and questioned, figures within the party she led for more than eight years said she still had questions to answer over her role in events surrounding the scandal.

Sturgeon, who left frontline politics before May’s election after a career spanning more than 25 years, previously attempted to dismiss concerns about party finances under her watch.

He is a true socialist!

Majority of Albertans would vote to stay in Canada, find Smith’s handling poor says government polling company and CBC

As an October referendum on the future of Alberta separation looms, new polling finds three in five Albertans say they would vote to stay in Canada, while more than half of Albertans feel Premier Danielle Smith has handled the issue “poorly.”

On Thursday, Smith announced she is planning to put a question on the fall referendum ballot that will ask Albertans if they want the province to remain in Canada or if they want a future binding referendum on separation.

According to a poll from the Angus Reid Institute released Monday, 60 per cent of respondents would vote no to the official referendum question, compared to 35 per cent who would vote yes.

Deporting Illegal alien invaders increases harmful carbon emissions say experts

Deporting Illegal alien invaders increases harmful carbon emissions say experts

US immigration enforcement flights are producing hundreds of thousands of metric tonnes of climate-damaging carbon emissions as officials shuttle unprecedented numbers of people to detention centers far from home and deport them to countries across the world.

Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign has spurred at least an 80% increase in such flights year over year, accelerating the climate crisis by emitting massive amounts of carbon dioxide, according to data analysis shared exclusively with the Guardian.

“We’ve seen a staggering increase of all US immigration [enforcement] flights,” including “the number of flights as well as the locations that the flights are going to,” said Savitri Arvey, director of research and analysis for refugee and immigrant rights at Human Rights First (HRF), the US advocacy group.
