Although the Conservative head office video ad has, sadly, lost the sequence set in New York, it’s still worth listening to; it would be really funny if it wasn’t simultaneously sinister “In the depths of these narrow passageways,” goes the ludicrous voiceover, “tread squads of Ulez enforcers dressed in black, faces covered with masks, terrorising communities at the beck and call of their Labour mayor master, who has implemented a tax on driving, forcing people to stay inside or go underground. Gripped by the tendrils of rising crime, London citizens stay inside. The streets are quiet….”

Oh, and it also has the banner headline “FACT: London under Labour has become a crime capital of the world.” Really? The actual FACTS are that in the NUMBEO Crime Index by City 2024 (https://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings.jsp), London comes 96th.. What’s more, it isn’t even the worst in the UK: Yorkshire & the Humber, the North East, the North West and the West Midlands all have higher crime rates (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1254571/uk-crime-rate-by-region/) - and some of them even have Conservative mayors!

Honestly, you couldn’t make this stuff up - except that the Tories have managed to do so.
