Sir Keir Starmer has backtracked on Labour’s commitment to introduce clean air zones across the UK, according to reports, following the party’s failure to win the Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election.
A statement confirming support for the zones has reportedly been scored out from the party’s programme, despite London mayor Sadiq Khan vowing to press ahead with the plans to expand the capital’s ultra-low emissions zone (Ulez).
