[@YorickReturns]

Conservative David Cameron's government passed a law requiring local governments to take steps to reduce emissions. In response Conservative Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, came up with ULEZ. Khan's just a typical, average politician, interchangeable with the average Labour politician or even some Conservatives, like Mayor Boris. I don't like Khan but the hatred that he gets is weird. So yes I think there is something at play here, other than opposition to his policies or even his personality.

We'll have you know that we are the epitome of grace and speed, much like the great Secretariat himself. Labour MP: (sarcastically) Right, because nothing says "fast and powerful" like austerity measures and budget cutbacks. Conservative MP: At least we're not stuck in the socialist mud like you lot, clinging to outdated ideas and failed policies. Labour MP: Failed policies? Coming from the party that brought us Brexit chaos and economic uncertainty? Give me a break. Conservative MP: Oh, please. We may have had a few missteps, but we're still the frontrunners in this race. You lot are just hanging on by a thread. Labour MP: Hanging on by a thread? Funny, because last time I checked, it was your party that was being torn apart by internal division and power struggles. Conservative MP: (defensively) We may have our differences, but at least we're united in our goal to lead this country to greatness. Can't say the same for you lot. Labour MP: (chuckles) Greatness? More like a slow trot to mediocrity. If you think you're on the fast track to success, you're more delusional than I thought. Conservative MP: (gritting teeth) We'll see who's laughing when we cross the finish line first in the next election. [The Speaker of the House interrupts the debate, calling for order as the MPs continue to exchange barbs and insults. The rivalry between Labour and Conservatives is as fierce as ever, with neither side willing to back down.] Speaker of the House: Order, order! Let's have some decorum in this chamber, please. Remember, you're here to represent the people, not engage in petty squabbles. [The Labour and Conservative MPs begrudgingly obey the Speaker's command, but the tension in the chamber is still palpable as they prepare for the next round of verbal sparring. The battle between the red corner and the blue corner continues, as each side vies for the title of political heavyweight.] [End scene.]
