Khan secured a historic third term even as his Tory opponent spread lies over ULEZ, the policies she derides as "woke", & other right wing talking points.

"The report showed that improvements in #AirQuality between 2019 and 2022 from lowering motor vehicle pollution – even before the expansion of the #ULEZ throughout the capital since August – rivalled the potential savings from entirely cleaning up #London’s aviation or industrial and commercial heat and power generation."
"#Antwerp was the first city to set up a zone in 2017. This was followed by #Brussels, and then #Ghent. Like #London’s ultra-low emission zone (#ULEZ), and more than 320 schemes across Europe, the Belgian zones are designed to improve air pollution by deterring the most polluting vehicles from driving on city streets (generally the oldest diesels)."
In these cities, #AirPollution has decreased faster than in cities without low emissions zones.
