    As it is, 16kg. if you pare it down (I have fitted lightweight pedals and mudguards but the saddle is heavy), you can get to 15kgs with the 45NM Aikema motor. If you replace the motor with the lighter SX100, you can shed another 1.1kg. Not really. You need the gears to change the amount of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we export 80% of our cars, 54% (800,000 cars a year) go the EU. Put yourself in the place of Japanese car companies. Would you want 54% to 80% of your production hit by no deal brexit row? They may be covered in the implementation period but beyond that, there is no longer the attraction.

    you don't have to. It has nothing to do with brexit, Honda just want out of UK after brexit, the timing is purely coincidental.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    it makes more sense if you add to it what is meant and not said. Earlier in the week, there was this row about UK/Japan trade deal when Hunt and Fox asked the Japanese to hurry up*. Well, they hurry up alright, except that they divest their UK assets. *The letter said: “We are committed to...

    what Honda say amounts to: Oh no, it's not you, it's me. Honda could have converted their Swindon factory to assembling electric cars, however the threat of no deal does not fill them with confidence.

    why is it not a good enough reason? we live in an imperfect world. Maybe he will fight Corbyn for the leadership now. a generation or two from now, this sort of things won't matter anymore.

    I don't think Chuka hides it. He just does not talk about it. A few years back, I asked my journalist daughter why Chuka pulled out of the Labour leadership contest, she said 'he does not want his mother feel hurt when his sexuality is vilified in the right wing press'.
