Description
As the country faces a pivotal set of local elections, voters are being forced to vote tactically more than ever. With the Greens breathing down Labour's neck in several London constituencies, City AM's Opinion and Features Editor (and card-carrying Tory), Alys Denby is considering voting Labour.
Also, as London struggles to stay competitive for AI founders, we speak to one who has recently made the move to California in the hopes of bigger valuations and more appetite for risk.
Plus: as more and more people buy EVs to swerve increasing fuel costs due to the war in Iran, the government plans a new pay per mile tax scheme. We speak to the trade association calling on the government to stop its 'hostile environment' towards electric car owners.
