Absolutely terrible decision by #Labour's London Mayor this evening.
Unbelievably, he is ending the discount on the #congestioncharge for #zeroemission vehicles!
This was just a little bit of help to encourage people who need a car to do the right thing.
Until we bring air pollution problems down, we will never convince more people to walk and cycle. Air pollution means more stay in their cars!

Tackling #airpollution is one of my top priorities. But Sadiq has consistently failed to get the worst polluting vehicles off #London's roads. The fact we have any buses left that are not low emission vehicles is a disgrace that's literally hurting every one here. And it's entirely down to him.
The @FSB_Voice and parties from across the political spectrum have united to condemn this.

My thoughts on this silly decision here:
Evening @RNBlake and @edwardlucas...
As you don't live in our constituency of Cities #London and #Westminster you may not be aware that Poll Cards have arrived, so I just thought I'd share the news in the spirit of openness.
Should have thought to do this yesterday, so sorry I hadn't mentioned it. 😉
#VoteTimBarnes for #GE24 - the only major party candidate to live in the constituency.
Your #StrongLocalChoice
.@CampaignTim a great choice by the great people of @CLWCA
He certainly will be a #stronglocalvoice for everyone across #twocities & I look forward to campaigning with him & the team. #twocitiesTim
Watch: Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly urges MPs to remember "why this is happening - the single largest murder of Jews since the Holocaust, initiated by Hamas" who "put Palestinians in harms way".
300+ UK parliamentarians, including 250 @Conservatives, a dozen of which Cabinet Ministers, send unprecedented message of support to Israel’s President @Isaac_Herzog, stating "solidarity with Israel
and its right to self defence at this time of great need".
As the Jewish community prepares to celebrate Chanukah, The King today joined holocaust survivors for a reception at @JW3London - a community centre that acts as a hub for the arts, culture, social action and learning in North London.
I am shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of life in Donegal.
My deepest sympathies go out to the families and friends who have lost loved ones, and to the entire community of Creeslough as they come together in their moment of grief.
For the first time in over 20 years, millions of people in the USA will be able to enjoy high quality British lamb.
This milestone marks a well-deserved boost to our rural economy and we will continue to secure more growth opportunities for Britain’s brilliant food producers.
Russia’s firing of missiles into civilian areas of Ukraine is unacceptable.
I communicated with @DmytroKuleba this morning to reinforce the UK’s ongoing moral and practical support to Ukraine.
This is a demonstration of weakness by Putin, not strength.
