    I worry how the Conservative Party will interpret the narrow victory.

    Will it be seen as “if we embrace ulez, more people will come across”?

    Or (sadly, more likely), “people vote for us because they don’t care about ulez, or have decided it’s their thing to hate. Demonise it.”

    It’s pretty grim being on the pavement when a clapped out old vehicle guns it from the lights in a cloud of smoke.

      The Tories have gone 100% on the side of populism. They seem to lack any judgement or morality about any subject matter that seems to throw up. This is not a normal Tory party. This is a group of idiots without any real direction to retain power. There will be a reckoning after the next election. It has to lead to an exodus from one of the factions within the party. What they have now is very unsustainable. Usually you would see an easement from government when they know an election is imminent. And yet this government is still fighting within itself to decide on which direction to run. I have never seen anything like this in my lifetime. Unless something really drastic comes along that threat of a Tory party with double digit number of MPs may become a reality.
