The joy of the conservatives winning the Boris Johnson's old seat, the new MP and Rishi Sunak blaming Sadiq Kharn and pushing expansion of ULEZ - which he is, obviously.

However is it not the Conservative government who are really behind this, they have legislated allow this, they are funding the ULEZ expansion and the 40 min city idea. The government could step in and stop the expansion but won't.

A Labour government I guess won't stop the expansion either, so if you don't like something you vote for something else in a ballot box does not apply. In fact all the political parties are now greens, Conservative, Labour, Lib Dems.

All the ULEZs popping up around the country are because the government was taken to court by the activist lawyers at Client Earth so it's actually nothing to do with the government. Having said that it wouldn't surprise me if the activists are in some way funded by the government as that seems to be the case with a lot of things these days when the government wants to do things that are going to be really unpopular.

But isn't it a problem that all the political parties are on the same side.

Although I guess it iis true of other things too
