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.

[bots]

ULEZ itself is not a vote winning/losing argument except in very local conditions so there is really no point in Starmer getting involved. The bigger argument is on how fast and hard we go down the green path and that could end up winning/losing an election

Oh I agree with all you say there.

The problem re Starmer with me is how little he'll even say what his view on some things are never mind what real policy he wants and/or intends as to some major issues.

I totally get from him nothing can be done by him and Labour or changed unless they win power.
I get that.
I get too, the situation he'll find himself in is full of far more uncertainties than for any new government likely before.
However, he must at least have a view on issues.
Yet I'm hearing more and more from those who do intend to vote Labour mainly to now get this shambles out of government.
Yet, they are more and more confused as to what Starmer really stands for or even what he himself believes in.

He may well deliver once in government.
I'd hope he does
His manifesto for the election after this one could possibly be a really strong and good one.
He just should still now share his real vision and hopes more so others can picture the likely benefits or lack of them for themselves.

Just relying on taking power because the Cons are now seen as a shambolic mess and unfit to govern presently .
Isn't really the best desirable base to build from.
ULEZ is one of many issues he just kind of sidesteps on.
That's not a positive at all.

But in the Next
Mayor Election 2nd of May 2024

Conservative Susan Hall can take over
by stopping ULEZ (£12:50 charge)
on day one.

Some in the Media, are saying
if Labour lose loads of London seats
it can effect his (Sir Keir Starmer)
general election.

[joeysteele]

I actually think unfortunately Khan will likely scrape a 3rd term.
Despite ULEZ.
Especially if the Mayoral election is before the general election.
Which it is near certainly to be so.

Some people can not afford £12:50,

The best part about this scheme is if you can afford 12.50 a day you can pollute the air as much as you like ...just hand over that cash

Sadiq Khan defiant as hated ULEZ expansion comes into force: London Mayor ignores backlash and Labour alarm - denying £12.50-a-day charge is 'anti-car'
Story by James Tapsfield, Political Editor For Mailonline •
1h

Sadiq Khan is defying fury from Londoners and rising Labour alarm today as the ULEZ expansion comes into force.

In a bruising round of interviews this morning, the mayor denied that extending the ultra-low emission zone to almost all of the capital was 'anti-car'.

He dismissed fears from allies of Keir Starmer about the political consequences of imposing the £12.50-a-day levy so widely - insisting people 'want to see their leaders taking bold action'.

But Tories stepped up their attacks on the policy, branding it a 'money-raising exercise' - and warning that the end-game will be a pay-per-mile system for drivers.

Transport Secretary Mark Harper said he would have blocked the plan if he had the power.

[Cherie]

Also, the only real vehicles that are affected here are old white vans so, honestly, who cares. I certainly don't

thats not true, I have friends who had perfectly good run around cars for getting to and from work who have had to upgrade before they planned to, there are people who drive classic cars who are now caught in this as well, plus businesses, the guys who did our removal have had to upgrade all their lorries to comply, small business like florists and those who rely on vans, plus delivery drivers who use their own vehicles, who can afford 60.00 odd pounds a week to given to Khan

and in addition he extended the scrappage scheme so late and it will not be backdated they cannot claim it :skull:

You should care that under the fake pretense of clean air the London mayor in making a cash grab on his citizens. Its thoroughly dishonest

[Crimson Dynamo]

Glasgow city council spends £3k a week hiring vans at eleventh hour to comply with LEZ

Hundreds of vehicles belonging to the SNP-run local authority are not compliant with the
controversial low emissions zone – so it is simply spending taxpayers' cash to hire new
motors instead

An estimated 600 vehicles in Glasgow City Council's fleet of motors are not permitted
inside its Low Emission Zone (LEZ) which was introduced on June 1. The banned list
even includes the Lord Provost's VW Phaeton limousine.
