Britain's ruling Conservative Party on Friday held the former seat of ex-prime minister Boris Johnson in a surprise result driven by anger at the expansion of a tax on polluting vehicles.
But he received an unexpected boost when the Tories managed to hold onto Johnson's former seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip by 13,965 votes to 13,470, delivering a blow to Labour leader Keir Starmer and London's Labour mayor Sadiq Khan. "What we have had is people asking what will be the impact of the ULEZ," he said, referring to Khan's pollution tax.
