Oh, that’s interesting. If all 3 by elections are lost by the Tories I wonder if Friday could prove a day of days

“Converted” to what?
& Treating the outer GL boroughs as an homogeneous unit is not very useful, some areas have seen more demographic change than others.

So, anger at ULEZ, not only originally a tory policy, but implemented by the previous tory incumbent of the seat, is what won it for the tories?
Strange days, indeed.

If it is because of ULEZ then that’s really depressing. The mildest of green measures.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
£90 a week isn't the mildest of measures...
You can easily argue that ULEZ is a deeply needed measure, but you can't honk about massive increases in mortgage payments, inflation at 20% for food as attacks on normal people, and then think that in addition sticking them with a bill of £350 a month is going to have no impact on their willingness to vote for you.

80% of workers in outer London oppose it according to TfL, so it's no surprise Labour lost. It wouldn't have taken much imagination to modify the scheme to gain more support, but they didn't listen to their voters.

Yeah, but £12.50 a day is the mildest of measures for the middle class supporters of the scheme.
I don’t own a car but since its introduction in Birmingham it’s become the biggest and most divisive issue where we live. The problem is that the tax isn’t doing what it’s meant to: getting cars off the street. It’s merely moving them to different places and the congestion, fumes and dangerous roads remain.
Anyway, Sadiq Khan can now add saving the Tory scum in Uxbridge to his impressive political cv

The problem is that when city hall consults on things like ULEZ it focuses too much on the inner bits of London where such measures are far more popular.
Depressing that people will always put their personal interests ahead of the climate and health impacts on others, but not surprising.

On point 1, the expansion of the ULEZ was a Tory demand eagerly agreed by Khan as part of a funding settlement.
On 2. It’s not the measure people object to it’s the need to find an extra £350 a month to use their car.

That's a weird way of viewing it, because every single person has climate and health impacts on others and could be said to put their personal interests first as long as they continue to exist.

Look out, he's got a gnu!
The ULEZ was imposed by Westminster dictating terms to fund tfl and at any point they could have overridden the mayor - they overwrite whatever else devolved or regional mayors they fancy
Letter from Grant Shapps shows that government proposed enlarging London congestion charge zone - OnLondon
The government proposed that Transport for London should massively extend the capital’s current congestion charge zone to the North and South Circular roads, On London can confirm, undermining Conservative claims that the possible new measure was initiated by Sadiq Khan. A section of a letter...

I predict that the ULEZ will be a complete non-issue in Outer Lonson in years time.

Be that as it may, Khan is the face of ULEZ so the average man or woman on the street will blame Labour.The ULEZ was imposed by Westminster dictating terms to fund tfl and at any point they could have overridden the mayor - they overwrite whatever else devolved or regional mayors they fancy

Additionally, the Tory candidate campaigned (successfully) on an anti ULEZ expansion platform.
I doubt he can do much to be honest, but the voters have made their feelings clear so as a protest against ULEZ it's a success.
