now five london councils are challenging sadiq khan's plan to expand ulez through greater london. not in london. you think, well, what's ulez and why care what's ulez and why do i care about that? i've got to say, these things are popping all these things are popping up all over uk . i these things are popping up all over uk. i think you can over the uk. i think you can have a look at it now on your screen. they're absolutely everywhere. they might be called something different everywhere. they might be called someth town. different everywhere. they might be called someth town. so different everywhere. they might be called someth town. so i different everywhere. they might be called someth town. so i d know.t in your town. so i don't know. people call them or zs or people call them lez or zs or whatever it is, but the point of the matter is it's about charging people with older vehicles to get into town in ella. do you support this ? ella. do you support this? >> no. i think that ulez and ltns, that's low traffic neighbourhoods and all kinds of crackdowns on cars are a abomination.

be extended so that you're basically tax to basically paying an extra tax to just get around greater london to suggest that this is making poor poorer. and a making the poor poorer. and as a labour , i didn't think you'd labour mp, i didn't think you'd be with that. be happy with that. >> camilla, who caused the >> camilla, who has caused the cost of living crisis . liz truss cost of living crisis. liz truss , liz truss and kwasi kwarteng, £40 billion off our economy. who who promised? who promised to cut with ulez though because . cut with ulez though because. >> no, no, no, no, no . >> no, no, no, no, no. >> sorry. sadiq khan came up with it. you yourself said earlier on the programme. yeah, you yourself. well let's talk about that, because it was boris that initiated the ulez as you well know, and actually , yes, well know, and actually, yes, i do. i support that . but hang on. do. i support that. but hang on. >> but no, no, no. >> let's let's go back to grant shapps because, you know very well that in the negotiation at the time of covid, the negotiate sessions with tfl, it was grant sh

expanded across greater london was something that voters wouldn't where they they were sort supportive at some of the polls that are reported, and think that are reported, and i think today's times, suggests that today's times, it suggests that 7 conservative voters say 7 in 10 conservative voters say that the sort of ordinary person shouldn't be obliged pay more shouldn't be obliged to pay more to achieve those measures. i think, again , what's interesting think, again, what's interesting is would that is how you would define that ordinary people ordinary person. most people understand that during the cost of crisis, it's of living crisis, it's incredibly difficult more incredibly difficult to ask more people show under the kind of people to show under the kind of pain of more or whatever. pain of paying more or whatever. that's but whether or not that's true. but whether or not the government can find other ways to force, example, big ways to force, for example, big business to help achieve the drive to net zero is, i think where rishi sunak will find his sort of path easier. sort of

own body transport for london, admitted that the expansion of ulez to the m25, the whole of the greater londonve air quality, not one bit. it's a pure cash grabbing scheme. >> well, and isn't it the fact that we were told that we should use diesel so people were encouraged to buy diesel cars because they were looking at what was it, the nitrates or something in the air. they didn't look at carbon dioxide or whatever. they're looking at now. so people were advised to get these things. that's why we had london buses with diesel, everything had london buses with diesel, evewell,g had london buses with diesel, evewell, the basically there's >> well, the basically there's nox and co2 and petrol and diesel do different things. >> one does one more and one does the other and back in the year 2000, too you're young to remember that far oh i've remember that far back. oh i've got to say, have no say that. >> otherwise you're out of here. >> otherwise you're out of here. >> but these are itself is a fantastic fuel. and the last fantastic fuel. and in the last ten years, even improved ten years, it's eve

nobody was greater london.gures are dubious. he claims 4000 deaths per year. an foi show directly caused by pollution was only one. so there's a lot of debate around the data and now this is nimbyism meets net zero ism. you can't even build a house unless you subscribe to this policy. where we're going to charge you to drive. we're to going close back streets, which actually puts congestion on main roads , puts congestion on main roads, on main roads. typically poorer people live because main roads are cheaper. so therefore you shifting not shifting the problem, you're not stopping . and in stopping the problem. and in terms rural development , terms of rural development, where we the cleanest air where we have the cleanest air since revolution, since the industrial revolution, london's cleaner now than london's air is cleaner now than it was in 1890s because the it was in the 1890s because the background pollution of people burning all that has burning coal and all that has gone. getting cleaner gone. cars are

is on the outer fringes of london, how concerned are you there will be other constituencies in greater londonthat both the conservatives i strategy? i think it is something that both the conservatives and| that both the conservatives and labour have to consider. what we actually need to do is have clean air, of course. we have excess deaths. but we have also got to make sure that people can do the right thing. it is very clear that londoners are saying, we want to do the right thing but we can't afford a ulez charge when we have not got a scrappage scheme that meets the requirements for us to change or behaviours and vehicles. it is not just a problem for labour. it is a problem for the conservatives as well. they are in government and they are not providing the support either. i think it is something for both big parties to consider, how they are going to deal with this issue, because it is clear that the voters in london feel that way. iloathed voters in london feel that way. what conversations _ voters in london feel that way. what conversations will _ voters in london feel that way. what

our series of reports, our political correspondent alex forsyth has been to the constituency in greater london live here, and they know the issues they'd like addressed. it's the traffic, the school run, people going to work. traffic starting at six o'clock. all the new builds. there's no parking spaces. i've got all the h52 roadworks right on the end of my road. so getting out of my road, coming to work, i've got to leave half an hour earlier. this is such a built up area now. hillingdon is a borough. we are so blessed with the green spaces that we have, _ and it's a shame because they seem to be disappearing _ our last mp was borisjohnson. we need somebody- who's more down to earth. it would be nice if somebodyjust actually came in to places like this, notjust high streets, to find out what the communities actually want and what they're looking for. this suburban seat in west london has been held by the conservatives since it was created. borisjohnson was its last mp. now labour wants to win here to try and show they're headed for government. at this family—run garage in uxbridge, there is o
