He still has to pony up the 83.3M as a bond if he wants to appeal though. There’s still the New York fraud case to be settled too so he might be half a billion down in the space of a week.
I don’t think he’ll be re-elected either.
ULEZ was introduced by Boris Johnson when he was Mayor (not that that makes it a bad idea, however much I despise him). Khan was obliged to expand it as funding depended on it.
I guess it came down to either settle or let a jury decide the level of damages. Maybe they calculated that a jury may have come up with a lower figure. Smartmatic are also going after Fox, so hopefully more damage to come.
He might well be there on remand if he doesn’t STFU. He’s been openly threatening Alvin Bragg’s daughter and I can’t imagine him tolerating that for long.
I’m not sure it is that cunning. Anyone shafted by this plan will get themselves sorted out for the next GE which matters a lot more. If the Tories were smarter they’d have waited until after the local elections.
