James Cleverly told Sky News the proposed sanctions regime would give "us the tools to take further action in future if Iranian behaviour doesn't change".

One senior Labour MP joked: "We could be in a situation where we win the others but we lose Uxbridge because of the ULEZ."įascinatingly Keir Starmer and his shadow cabinet refuse to pick a side, defending Khan by reminding the public of the legal obligations to cut air pollution while simultaneously backing Labour Uxbridge candidate Danny Beales' calls for the expansion to be halted.
