UK Transport Secretary Mark Harper attacked local government efforts to rein in road congestion, tapping in to fringe conspiracy theories around so-called 15-minute cities.
Describing the governing Conservative Party as “proudly pro-car,” Harper attacked the Labour Party for making driving more expensive, singling out London Mayor Sadiq Khan for expanding anti-pollution charges on cars and “blanket” 20 mile-per-hour speed limits in Wales.
