By Elections

[BullensRoad]

Labour failed to secure Uxbridge. Johnson's former constituency.

Personally I find that insane, but it seems it was due to Khans horrendous roll out and expansion of the ULEZ scheme.

Find this very worrying for the next general election as people don't seem to comprehend the damage and corruption of the last 10+ years.

Hopefully Corbyn goes for the London mayor role as I think he will win it by a landslide.

Tories will always vote Tory. Never expected Uxbridge to turn.

Corbyn running for London mayor? Is that an actual thing?

Take a look at hard core tory posters and tribalism outweighs everything, including the suffering of others, tribalism is blind and chipping away at that hardcore is incredibly difficult

I guess that's the reality, it was only by 400+ votes mind. I can't get my head around people wanting to run the country to the ground.

Regards to Corbyn:



London is a strong labour strong hold, in an ideal world he would become mayor and Burnham becomes labour leader.

I'll never forgive Khan for canning the trams project in Liverpool despite the initial £70m investment when he was transport minister, to then put billions into the London cross rail project. Which was delayed and cost further billions to be achieved:

Not in Somerton & Frome.

Ulez decided that Uxbridge result. Nothing else.

Did labour win the other two by elections??

Burnham definitely needs to get in as an MP again. I'd happily vote labour again if he was leader.

Can't stand Starmer.

You’re also fighting against the elderly - my parents, who are very heavily influenced by the likes of the Mail and Telegraph, with their non stop scare stories / smear campaigns.

Starmer is a labour MP with a blue tie.

There's nor a lot about Starmer - he's a disappointing orator ... although oration is clearly a thing if the past now politicians target the dim witted half of the population with sound bites and media manipulation.

He's still the least bad option when it comes to voting currently.

I used to not mind Khan but he’s made a fool of himself lately.

“I want to be on the right side of history”. It seems the ULEZ expansion is more about him and his ego. Also asking Martin Lewis how many people it takes to die for the expansion to be worth it. He was deservedly heckled by an audience member. He has a childish side to him.

The ULEZ expansion will save lives.

Spot on I was the same.

The ULEZ is hurting the working class massively.

He's getting free lunches for the school children in London which is great but I can't help but feel he's a career politician.

£12 a day to take your kids to school if you can't afford a modern car? I think it will cause more deaths from the severe debt and depression on those households.

Its a tory talking point to attack ULEZ, the number of excess deaths from air pollution in London is obscene.

Put pressure on more affordable EV's, don't drive your kids to school, better public transport prices and efficiency, or address the shortfalls of the system. But keeping fossil fuel burners on the road because fighting the climate crisis should mean no personal inconvenience is an all too prevalent attitude.

We can debate the winners and losers theory on just about any policy enacted no matter how altruistic, but the UK catching up with environmentally progressive acts that already exist in other countries with far better air pollution outcomes is a forward thinking ideology. The shortfalls will have to be managed and the mitigating solutions will have to be fluid to try and reduce poor outcomes for individuals, but a quick browse through the type of media and voices who are the loudest critics of ULEZ and I start to doubt the sincerity.
