An NHS nurse who has been selected as a London mayoral candidate says she will scrap the Ulez scheme and "push back on woke ideology".
Psychotherapist Amy Gallagher - a Social Democratic Party candidate (SDP) - slammed current mayor, Sadiq Khan as he has been "spending too much money on campaigns that are all about virtue signalling."
The 35-year-old from south London said she is "firmly against" Ulez and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and would throw out both schemes.
Khan's hated eco tax has sparked uproar among Londoners after the campaign was extended across all boroughs in August last year.

Gallagher said the SDP aligned with her "culturally conservative and economical left" views.
SDP leader William Clouston, has described the party as "conservative left."
The nurse claims that London had become "more divided" and if elected, her she would "defund divisive diversity and inclusive spending."
Other priorities would be to "depoliticise the police" and "improve public transport infrastructure and make all transport free for under-25s," she told the BBC.

Gallagher previously brought a lawsuit against the NHS, alleging that it had forced critical race theory on to people.
In 2022, she sued the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust alleging discrimination on the basis of race, religion and philosophical belief, as well as victimisation and harassment.
At the time, the nurse was in the final stages of forensic psychology at the trust, and rejected a lecture titled "whiteness – a problem of our time" in Oct 2020, where students were asked to confront "the reality of white privilege."
Now Gallagher plans to get the SDP's "message out there more" and to use the 2024 election "as an attempt for us to grow."

PAIn the last mayoral election, the SDP candidate Steve Kelleher received 0.3 per cent of the vote.
She said: "Most people feel Labour and the Conservatives have let people down. I am genuine, authentic and thinking about politics in a really serious way.
"I care and believe in what I represent."
