Amazing, you wait months for a scrappage scheme and then 2 come along. The government has finally decided to act and offer 2 for the price of 1. Vans and cars! BUT, the government is putting up only £1,000 and expect car makers to add £1,000 – despite the firms saying they can’t afford it!

Labour’s MSS, already delayed by 5 months, has been shunned by Alliance & Leicester, Abbey, HSBC, Barclays and Nationwide; UK biggest building society. They have all withdrawn their support for the scheme, instead opting to offer customers their own mortgage help.
