BORIS Johnson yesterday came out swinging against Sadiq Khan’s “mad lefty tax” on London’s drivers.
The former PM said the Mayor’s expansion of the ULEZ eco zone was “unreasonable and unnecessary”.
Labour’s Mr Khan wants to charge all motorists in the city £12.50 for driving in non-compliant cars.
His predecessor Mr Johnson blasted: “You do not need an all-London emissions zone. It’s inner London that has the air quality problem.
“There’s only one reason why he’s doing it, and that is because he has bankrupted TfL with his mismanagement.

“Fight his plans to take money off hard-pressed motorists at a very difficult time and stop this mad lefty tax on people’s lives and livelihoods.”
He is backing an amendment to give London councils the power to block the plan.
Four Labour MPs have even come out against Mr Khan's tax raid.
