Keir Starmer has lauded his party’s historic win in the Selby byelection, but urged the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, to “reflect” on the impact of his extension of the ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) into Uxbridge, where Labour was unexpectedly defeated.
The Labour leader sounded upbeat on Friday during a visit to the North Yorkshire seat of Selby and Ainsty, which his party won for the first time since it was created in 2010, doing so with a 24-point swing.
