Watch: David Lammy slapped down over Ulez

Labour frontbencher David Lammy was today confronted by a furious voter on his LBC show about the Ulez extension. It’s been causing a row over the past week, since the Tories unexpectedly held onto Uxbridge and South Ruislip in last week’s by-election.

The caller said:

To be honest with you, I’ve had my wife in tears on the phone now. This has done us. It’s finished. We have £150 to £200 a month to spare. Some months, on a good month. That’s now going to go on a tax. I really weren’t gonna vote anymore because obviously the Tories and how much they lie… I was actually going to give Mr Starmer a go with the support  backing them now. They lost my vote immediately. I urge everyone to vote Tory now…
