This must be the end of Rishi Sunakâs green obsession
It was Sadiq Khanâs extension of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) to outer London that won it for the Tories. This diabolical scheme to penalise drivers of older cars and van-owning tradesmen in the outer suburbs has aroused a level of rage which must now be a lesson to all serious contenders in the general election. The ramifications go far beyond this single, apparently anomalous, success for the Conservatives.
By-election results live: Scrap 2030 petrol car ban, Tories urge Sunak
Rishi Sunak has been urged to scrap the ban on new petrol and diesel cars scheduled for 2030 after a surprise Tory by-election win was driven by a green scheme revolt.
While the Tories fell to substantial defeats in the Selby and Ainsty and Somerton and Frome polls, their victory in Boris Johnsonâs former constituency of Uxbridge and South Ruislip came after a campaign centred on opposing the expansion of Sadiq Khanâs ultra-low emissions zone (Ulez).
By election results live: Sunak warned Tories set to lose âhell of a lot of seatsâ
Rishi Sunak has held on to Boris Johnsonâs former seat in Uxbridge â a win widely seen as a result of Ulez â despite suffering two painful by-election blows.
What is the Ultra Low Emission Zone?
If your vehicle doesn‘t meet the ULEZ emission standards and isn‘t exempt, you will be required to pay a ÂŁ12.50 daily charge to drive inside the zone. This charge can amount to over ÂŁ4,500 a year, per vehicle.
When does Ulez expand? How Sadiq Khanâs expansion of the zone helped to decide the Uxbridge by-election
Sadiq Khanâs controversial Ulez scheme has been described as the deciding factor in the Conservatives holding onto Boris Johnsonâs old seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.
The cleaner-air levy has faced opposition since it was introduced 2019, with the intention of purifying Londonâs air. Drivers of more-polluting vehicles are subject to a ÂŁ12.50 tax in the ultra low emission zone, in a move similar to the congestion charge.

China to create rare-earths giant by joining three state companies
(October 24, 2021)
China accounts for 60% of the world‘s production of rare earths according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The top export destinations are Japan (49% by value) followed by the U.S. (15%), according to Chinese media.
For the Xi leadership, rare earths can also be used as a diplomatic trump card. When China protested Japan‘s nationalization of the Senkaku Islands in 2010, Beijing stalled exports of rare earths as a means to pressure the Japanese side. The new move to restructure the rare-earth industry, therefore, may affect rare-earth supply to Japan and the U.S., analysts warn.
China says the West should respect its ‚own pace‘ as Europe and US face magnesium supply crisis
The paper said the magnesium shortage was not a simple issue that could be resolved by increasing production from China.
„Global supply chains face challenges of climate change targets, high inflation and logistics obstacles,“ it noted in an editorial on Monday.
âA perfect stormâ: supply chain crisis could blow world economy off course
Along with ongoing Covid-related restrictions in some large manufacturing countries such as Vietnam, and a well-documented shortage of components such as computer chips, factories are simply not producing enough.
British car production dropped by 27% year on year in August as a lack of semiconductors and led to a big drop in the number of vehicles exported to Australia, the US and China. On Thursday, Volkswagen, Ford and Opel maker Stellantis announced fresh temporary closures in Germany because of the chip problem.

Streit mit Behörden: Tesla produziert wieder – trotz Verbots
Die Verhandlungen, wann und wie Tesla sein Werk in Kalifornien wieder hochfahren darf, dauerten Firmenchef Musk offenbar zu lange. Seit heute lĂ€uft die Produktion wieder – entgegen aller Corona-Verbote.
Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules. I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.
Yes, California approved, but an unelected county official illegally overrode. Also, all other auto companies in US are approved to resume. Only Tesla has been singled out. This is super messed up!

Protest wird auch in SĂŒdamerika laut: Dort warnen Gewerkschaften vor einem „Todesurteil“ fĂŒr die einheimische Industrie und der Reduktion des Mercosur auf einen kolonialen Status als Rohstofflieferant der EU und Absatzmarkt fĂŒr europĂ€ische Konzerne.
Germany braced for catastrophic Trump auto tariffs – which could create a perfect storm for Europe
US taxes on car imports could act as a massive jolt to the blocâs economy, wiping âŹ14.5bn (ÂŁ12.9bn) off GDP, according to analysis from investment advisers, Redburn. The firmâs economists believe a ânasty turnâ in EU-US trade tensions is coming, which when combined with market nerves over Italian debt, could shake the eurozone.
If the US presses ahead with tariffs, Germany, which relies on carmaking for a fifth of its manufacturing activity, could see 0.28pc shaved from its GDP alone, Redburn claims.
