Starmer should get off the fence on lots of things.
Just say what he means and mean what he says.
Stop being worried of the reactions of hard-line Cons and most of the ever reducing influence of the media as to so called news publications.

I don't live in or around London but the people I do know of there say within the city, ULEZ is popular in the main.
As it was when Johnson as Mayor began it.

It's the outlying areas who don't mind it being enforced in the city but not in their backyards.
So overall across London it appears to be more welcomed than not in the city.

The panic over Uxbridge not falling to Labour is ridiculous.
Had they not taken Selby or done well in Selby, Uxbridge would have meant more.
Uxbridge however didn't even fall to Labour in either of Blair's two landslide wins in 1997 and 2001.
Didn't come anywhere near within 500 votes of doing so.

I've no time for Khan and think he should be looking again at what assistance can be given to help much more those who need to upgrade vehicles.
It is Khan's as the London Mayor's decision to make.
It's not Starmer's but Starmer nerds to give his opinion, not say it just needs looking at or some other fudging statement.
Plus since it is a Labour Mayor in place, then Starmer must realise people won't accept he cannot influence and influence strongly too.
