Conference stunts

In a bold move, drivers attending the Labour conference in Liverpool were met with billboards criticizing the party's stance on road-users. The Alliance Of British Drivers made their presence known by circling the venue with vans, targeting Sadiq Khan's ULEZ expansion and Labour-run Wales' controversial 20mph zones.

Billboards make a statement

Among the billboards on display, one read "Just Stop Labour's War On Motorists", while another highlighted that the low-emissions zones were just the beginning. These messages serve as a direct message to Labour, urging them to reconsider their approach.

Backlash against Labour Mayor of London

Sadiq Khan's introduction of the £12.50 daily charge for the ULEZ in London has faced significant opposition from drivers. Its impact was even seen in the Uxbridge by-election earlier this summer, where it was attributed as a factor contributing to the defeat.

Keir Starmer's promise

Party leader Sir Keir Starmer has promised to halt any intentions of implementing new ULEZ-style plans in other British cities. This pledge aims to address concerns raised by drivers regarding the potential expansion of these zones across the country.

Resistance faced in Wales

First Minister Mark Drakeford has faced strong resistance from drivers in Wales after implementing the controversial 20mph zones. Despite the pushback, the decision stood, which has heightened calls for Labour to reconsider its approach to road-users.

Championing drivers

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has positioned himself as a champion of drivers. His recent actions, including fuel duty cuts and the postponement of the ban on fossil fuel-powered vehicles, have resonated well with motorists across the country.
