Senior party figures are starting to believe some green issues could be exploited to motivate people to vote Conservative
Conservative weaponisation of discontent about London’s Ulez traffic charging scheme in the recent Uxbridge byelection could be used to save a raft of under-threat Tories in the city’s outskirts, MPs have claimed.
Former leader Iain Duncan Smith, who is defending a 1,262 majority in the ultra marginal north London seat of Chingford, said that opposition to expansion of the charge translated beyond the byelection last week and could motivate groups including Labour voters and older car users.
