What Labour should have done, and still could do, about ULEZ

July 23, 2023 - 7:03 pm

After Labour’s surprising defeat in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election, Mayor Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ policy is very much in the news.

But the problem with the policy isn’t about being green. It’s about not helping people enough through the transition to being green.

What he should have done – and what he still could do – is take on board what the Liberal Democrats on the London Assembly proposed:

Our message on ULEZ has been consistent. Sadly Labour rejected our amendment on the scrappage scheme and longer lead in time to make ULEZ fairer.

If you have feel let down by Labour and can’t vote Tory – the LibDems are the only party that has been trying to fix the mess. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/YdD0Td28ED
