I think it is important to note this is not disputing the science at all, it's about sloppy referencing and the ads could run again. "We told TfL to ensure that the basis of all environmental claims was made clear in future ads." #ULEZ

Advertising watchdog rules that @sadiqkhan and @tfl misled Londoners with claims about the Ulez that were based on computer modelling, not real life standard.co.uk/news/london/u…

The ULEZ is expanding across all London boroughs from 29 August 2023
🚚 Cars, motorcycles, vans and specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes) need to meet the ULEZ emissions standards to drive within the zone.
🚙 9 out of 10 cars seen driving in outer London on an average day already meet the ULEZ standards, so their drivers will not need to pay.

'Dirty Gertie at number 30's toilet goes directly into the canal outside your house...'
@mrjamesob thinks he has the perfect analogy to explain why ULEZ is not 'a money-making scheme'.

ALT MAJOR ULEZ UPDATE - Mayor announces £2,000 grants will open to all Londoners with non-compliant cars. More support will also be made available to businesses.
All Londoners with a non compliant car are now eligible for financial assistance with the scrappage scheme. But are there #ulez compliant cars available for <£2k?
Answer: YES, and some pretty nice ones at that.
Quick search on Autotrader shows ~5000 within 200 miles of London.
Petrol cars newer than 2005 are compliant (and some even from 2001) - you can check here: tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/che…

My decision to expand the ULEZ wasn’t easy, but it’s a decision I remain committed to. Cleaning up our toxic air cannot wait.
That’s why today I’m announcing that £2k will be available to all Londoners with non-compliant cars to switch to greener, less-polluting vehicles. 🧵
