Boris Johnson hits out at 'bone-headed' ULEZ - despite setting up the scheme while he was London mayor
Mr Johnson cited the case of an 82-year-old man in Epsom who would be penalised by the daily £12.50 charge to go to his church in Orpington, Kent, because his old car does not comply with the zone's emissions standards.
However, it was in fact Mr Johnson who conceived ULEZ as an idea when he was London mayor from 2008 until 2016. "Boris Johnson also made the woeful deal with government to remove TfL's entire operational grant at a cost of nearly £1bn a year." His concerns have been echoed by Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh, who said Mr Khan's policy would"make lives harder".Sir Keir has also struggled to state his position on the ULEZ expansion, telling LBC that the mayor has"no choice" but to go ahead with his plans, while also defending Mr Beales's decision to speak out against them.
