Originally Sadiq Khan blocked plans to send cars destined for the scrapheap under ULEZ to Ukraine, where they are needed on the front line.
He claimed he could not comply because it did not meet the “legal threshold” that requires the ULEZ scrappage scheme to benefit Londoners from an “economic, social and environmental perspective”.
The request to let vehicles be donated to Ukraine came after Kyiv’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, had written to his London counterpart to suggest the idea as part of the scrappage scheme.
But after pressure from Conservatives include the Mayoral Candidate, Susan Hall, Sadiq Khan found it in him to reverse his decision. Now let's hope he follows through by sending Ukraine the vehicles they need to stop Putin.
