Well now labour in, we’ll all be paying more to drive around. That’s for sure.

It’s gonna be a rough few years for the country. (Not that it wasn’t already)

Sticking with my trusty transit custom 63 plate until it becomes difficult to drive it through green zone policy’s in my area.

So glad the tories are out!

I'm a very happy man!along with most of the people from the North of England,Scotland and Ireland!

Time to celebrate 🥳 🎉!!!

We have had a nightmare for 17 years and glad snp are out. They have done 0 for us bar talk of Independence. They can't run a bath never mind a country, no one knows where all the money has gone. Not sure if you pay ULEZ if you have a mobility badge because up here you don't if you register it with the council. 😉

I can see where he’s coming from as far as Scotland is concerned. The SNP effectively took Labour voters away in droves…….good to see that has been reversed now though.
Maybe you southerners can get taxed to the hilt like us Jock’s now? 🤑😁. Scrap free prescription’s in Scotland and we’ll be on an even keel😉

Most presciptions are free anyway. OAPs are free as are people with certain health conditions and children, students. I think around 75% of prescriptions end up being free.

Doesn't make much difference to me though, because if I needed it, I am more likely to die than get an appointment with my GP.

Yesterday  announced  all electric vans to pay ulez charge per day £15  2025. December

Nope. Not true in any way, shape or form. It even says it in the article presented as "evidence".

It's the exemption in the Congestion charge zone (central London) not the ULEZ zone (pretty much all of the rest of London inside the M25) that's being stopped.  Given that the CC is intended to (as you might guess) reduce congestion, it makes sense. EVs create as much congestion as any other vehicle.

CC Zone is the bit in the middle. ULEZ zone is the big one. So, to be clear, it's the little bit, not the big.



Odd that a false narrative is being spread on social media, isn't it?

Got to feel sorry for the folks in London that have bought an EV to avoid the congestion charge.

Yeh me so I will have to go euro 6 that's if they don't tax them aswell
I have till December  next year

But iam hurting badly atm

Do you do a great deal of work in central London inside the congestion charge zone?

Lol

Got to admit I'm pretty ignorant to TFL policies. I visit London every couple of years, love the place but I'm normally far too drunk to be driving  while I'm there.

Still, disappointed with myself that I fell for the headlines .
