Tory MP Gareth Johnson has introduced a Private Members Bill to the Commons today, aiming to overturn the controversial Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expansion into Greater London.

Mr. Johnson voiced his opinion that London Mayor Sadiq Khan lacks a mandate for the expansion, impacting those outside London who cannot vote for or against the mayor. He criticised the ULEZ as “taxation without accountability,” hitting lower-income individuals the hardest.
