That does not mean we compromise on our principles or shy away from doing the right thing. We should be bringing people together, protecting the poorest Londoners from Mr Khan’s tax while taking steps to actually improve air quality at the same time. There has been too much arguing with scientists and quibbling over exactly how many people are affected by air pollution. They deserve our help, just as much as those affected by Mr Khan’s tax. We must listen to people who are worried about air quality and show them we have a common-sense plan to improve it. While we fight back against Mr Khan’s smears and misinformation, we cannot ignore the fact that some people are suffering from health problems linked to air pollution. We have to offer something serious on all the issues that matter. The role is far too important for a single-issue candidate. In London’s mayoral election next year, we have to be so much more than just an anti-Ulez campaign. And if I am the Conservative candidate for mayor, I will beat Mr Khan and stop it.Ĭonservatives have been fighting Ulez, but not always in the right way.
The Ulez expansion makes virtually no difference to air quality, but it will make a big difference to the poorest Londoners who cannot afford to replace their cars. Small businesses are already shutting down because they can’t afford to pay Mr Khan’s tax. If you’re a builder with a van that isn’t compliant, you’re going to have to buy a new vehicle or leave the industry. Nurses on night shifts are having to find new ways of getting to work after midnight – or change job. Visiting friends and family is going to cost some people £12.50 per day. Sadiq Khan’s dreadful Ulez expansion is causing so much damage already.
