Very unlikely I'll replace my 2003 Almera when it bites the dust, given it's done less than 1000 miles in each of the last two years, at a cost of about £1 per mile all in.

Yes but you need to watch for 15 minutes to glean the info you can read in 5.
I hate the videoification of internet information sources.

Ditto. I might have seen on TEDx video that was worth the time and that actually made use of the video content - the rest are better read in transcript in a couple of minutes.

Looks like building a house is going to get a whole lot more expensive
Builders tax.
Knock on, builders raises prices for spoil, house price starts higher.
Borrowing costs for new house buyers jumps up forcing many to continue living in rented or at home with parents. The whole house market will increase in reaction.
Meanwhile less house sales due to extra costs. Depressing the whole housing market
Landlords will be pleased

So the latest rumour is changing Council Tax banding / increasing levels for the highest bands. I guess this would play well with the likes of a certain Cake Stopper who would regularly bemoan all the boomers in their multi-million pound houses and to be honest having more bands would make sense to capture those in the largest properties. However, I'm confused how this benefits the national government budget as I assumed the revenue goes to local councils? I guess the government would make a reduction in how much grant they give to the councils to compensate? There is also some discussion about revalueing all properties although it looks like that has been ruled out. I wonder what difference it would make, I suppose it would penalise those in areas where prices have risen faster than the average rate (there are probably a few areas in London particularly that were a bit dodgy in 1991 that are now sought after).

I see he still hasn't moved on in his thinking towards having to do some DIY when he moves in.
