Now stop being silly . What's more interesting about that link is the story about Khan hammering motorists in London . 

I’ve been driving around the London ULEZ zone in a diesel van for the last couple of months. Total cost £0.

 

Sone people talk absolute crap.

1. That is congestion charge, not ULEZ.

 

2. It is just the end of a discount for EVs, not an additional charge. Although I do agree that it isn’t going to encourage use of cleaner cars.

How is suggesting someone  should look at the performance of a  MP regardless of which party they represent seeking re-election desperate?

Because I've not once heard Rishi Sunak say "look at the performance of your MP". It's all "vote Tory or else[insert some lie about Labour]".
