Okay, Grant, how long before Just Stop Oil get on the blower and demand you start paying the medical bills to cover for their members getting assaulted by members of the public entirely because your colleagues and mates in the media are encouraging it?

Labour shot themselves in the foot in Uxbridge. It was obvious that the Tories would use ULEZ+ to attack. And this is a crucial issue for the GE, where unless the policy is either deferred or graded in over several years, they will lose the Mayor and many marginal seats in the capital. The electorate won't care that this was a policy put in place by Johnson when he was MoL. What Uxbridge also showed was the need for collaboration between Parties: if the LibDems had stood aside then Labour would likely have won. But at least Fox lost his deposit!
Labour shot themselves in the foot in another way in Uxbridge... Good luck getting anyone to knock on doors for you eighteen months from now with that attitude
Without doubt ULEZ will be a major factor in the London area come the next GE and Starmer will need to come up with a plan urgently because at the moment he appears to be sitting on the fence for too many things , personally I don't trust him one bit or his cronies
Only for the outer suburbs. I doubt it will affect the voting intentions for the majority of london constituencies. And I've listened to Starmer on ULEZ and didn't hear him sitting on the fence at all. He's stated clearly it's a difficult decision but one that's required, not only because the mayor has an obligation to do so based on emission levels in greater london, but because of the health implications to children specifically. That was on LBC with Nick Ferrari.
Brief check, is 714 the number of votes Laurence Fox got, or was that the attendance for the Spain vs Costa Rica match this morning?
