Nigel Farage shares thoughts on anti-ULEZ protest in London<\/h3>\n

Nigel Farage says he has “never seen people so angry” as anti-ULEZ protesters gathered outside Downing Street on the first day of the expansion.<\/p>\n

The former Ukip and Brexit Party leader joined demonstrators lining the road leading to Downing Street in the centre of London.<\/p>\n

Taking to Twitter, Mr Farage shared a video of the crowds and asked London Mayor Sadiq Khan if he was “listening”.<\/p>\n

The GB News presenter said: “Huge anti-ULEZ protest happening outside of Downing Street right now.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve never seen people so angry about this new tax on working people. Are you listening Sadiq Khan?”<\/p>\n

It comes as the charging zone, which previously only covered central London, was widened today to the whole of the capital.<\/p>\n

It means more drivers will be forced to pay the \u00a312.50 daily fee for the most polluting vehicles in a bid to improve air quality.<\/p>\n

Anti-ULEZ protesters gathered outside Downing Street today blowing whistles and banging drums.<\/p>\n

Some carried placards saying “Stop the toxic air lie” and “ULEZ all about money”, while others had mocked-up car registration plates reading: “Get Khan out”<\/p>\n

Husband and wife Tom and Carolyn Dare were among the crowd taking part in the demonstration against the ULEZ expansion.<\/p>\n

Ms Dare said she wanted Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to “overrule” the Labour Mayor of London. Mr Dare said Mr Khan was “shutting down London basically”.<\/p>\n

Reform UK London mayoral candidate Howard Cox, who is a pro-motorist campaigner, was also at the protest.<\/p>\n

Mr Khan defended the widening of the zone despite strong opposition from across the political spectrum during a bruising round of interviews this morning.<\/p>\n

He told BBC Breakfast: “We now have a really effective policy to reduce air pollution.<\/p>\n

“It’s shown to be effective in central London and inner London, but I think clean air is a right not a privilege.<\/p>\n

“What about outer London? Why shouldn’t they breathe clean air?<\/p>\n

“Why should they carry on dying prematurely in numbers that could be reversed?”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But Transport Secretary Mark Harper said the expansion is not about air pollution but a “money-raising exercise”.<\/p>\n

Mr Sunak also hit out at Mr Khan and Labour over the expansion.<\/p>\n

He said: I think people and families are struggling with the cost of living, that is obvious to everyone.<\/p>\n

“And at that time, the Labour Party, the Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are introducing the Ulez charge which is going to hit working families.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think that’s the right priority, I don’t think that’s the right thing to do and I wish they hadn’t done it.”<\/p>\n
