What about duty on alcohol and cigarettes - is that money raising or health issue - what about sugar tax?

What about them? What part in the by-election (thread title, remember) did the duty on those and the sugar tax play? Are you deliberately trying to take the thread off topic? Stop being a **** all your life - take a day off.

Londoners cannot afford Ulez, Labour’s deputy leader has admitted, as she blamed the policy on her party’s loss in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election.

Angela Rayner said Labour had not listened to voters and called for a rethink over Ulez, which she argued was “at the cost of working families who have basically had enough”.

Just seen Starmer when asked if the ULEZ expansion should be scrapped saying he would 'reflect' on it. When asked again what he meant by 'reflecting' on it, he said both he and Khan would 'reflect' on it. No doubt they will….and do fûck all about it!

All parties "kick stuff down the road" , "into the long grass", whatever.

Whether you are bothered depends on the issue, your political leaning, or both.

There's nothing to disagree with in the article or policy, but it does focus on central London rather than an extended area.

Ulez.
Designed by Boris Johnson and the Tories
Expansion mandated by Grant Shapps and the Tories.
But blamed on Labour, because of tabloids and idiots sharing fake news.

The bit outlined is the main reason the scheme is going through court, the processes were apparently NOT deemed to have been followed, that is what the court case will decide.

'We bumped into Ken Livingstone on a random London bus so asked him about ULEZ'

He says he wants to see 'a car free London' and that humans will be extinct by the middle of the century

That’s the central London congestion charge - nothing to do with ULEZ or ULEZ expansion. Almost everyone pays that except cabbies and residents in the area, I think.

So the real issue for you is the extension to outer london, it's geographic scope.

I can see merit in that argument.

What is the purpose of the congestion charge?

What is the purpose of the ULEZ or ULEX expansion?
