Down 34% compared to April 23 - registered just 1530 cars.

I guess if you are only offering Hybrids or Electric then the buying public will look elsewhere.
That is what I will do.

I wonder if, down the line, Honda will pull out of the UK market like Mitsubishi.

It's been talked about for years - not just the UK, it's even more of a marginal brand in the rest of Europe.

Yes - we have a lot of garages in Warrington. Holdsworth, who have the Honda franchise, have added MG to their dealership and, at my last visit, the Honda bit of the showroom was about 25% of the floor space. A former Mitsubishi dealership is now a KIA dealership and they seem to be selling EVs like hot cakes. Indeed they are in the process of expanding what was already a large site.
