Further to my speculation about the Uxbridge result yesterday, I could hardly believe the breath-taking cynicism and hypocrisy of this revelation:
Politics, politics !!
About the #Uxbridge by-election result and #ULEZ
ULEZ was a policy introduced by Boris Johnson when Mayor of London
Then the Conservative government and Grant Shapps made expanding ULEZ a condition of providing financial support to TFL at the time of Covid.
Now Grant Shapps and the Tories blame Sadie Khan for the policy.
In addition the government have provided supporting funds to cities such as Birmingham (with a Conservative mayor), but not to London (with a Labour mayor).
So when David TC Davies accused the party of being "anti-motorist", as he did on BBC Wales News yesterday, he was not only inaccurate (there was no attack on drivers of low-emission vehicles) he should also have been referring to the Tories, not Labour.
