UK sales of electric vehicles just overtook petrol cars for the first time
Not really true if you read the article
Note that the analysis is based on figures from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA). Figures published by the UK Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) are based on a slightly different categorisation for hybrid cars.
All hybrids run entirely on petrol or diesel fuel, while also carrying a small battery and an electric motor. ACEA counts these cars separately to petrol and diesel models.
In contrast, the SMMT counts what it calls “mild” hybrids as petrol cars, while listing “full” hybrids – such as Toyota’s Prius – in a separate category.
The ACEA data shows that hybrids are the most popular type of car in the UK, as illustrated in the figure below, but also shows that their sales are relatively stagnant.
Hybrids, with the exception of PHEV, are still petrol cars IMO.

TIL that cars in Europe have grown average 1.2cm longer every year since 2000

Not entirely, a lot of the required curves are for pedestrians. Anything curved has less internal volume.

A lot is extra safety features. It would be illegal to sell the original mini today.

Is there browser for 64kbps internet
Ublock origin has the option to block all media over a certain size and JavaScript. The browser will never request the files so it will be faster (as long as it isn't inline scripts)

Brown probably, but he didn't have much time to screw anything up.

I disagree about Starmer getting things done, but you're right about Boris.
If someone told you they were a massive fan of Boris, you might think they are wrong, but you wouldn't be surprised.
If someone told you they are a massive fan of Starmer, you'd think they are a bit weird.
