What happens if Khan is voted out next May? Maybe the charges wont happen then?

Unless Corbyn runs and splits the left vote, it isn't happening. The Tory candidate is a complete nutter and a no mark to boot.ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 9:41 am I had no idea another tunnel under the Thames was being built, but if it, and Blackwall Tunnel are both going to cost to cross, then with Dartford crossing also tolled, it means there will be in practical terms no way of crossing north to south of the Thames, without having to pay.
