David Dennis:

The congestion charge as originally introduced was better than people feared. Then, having promised not to, he raised the charge from £5 to £8. Then, with no consultation and with a great deal of opposition, he extended the zone to the west.

So while the initial introduction of the congestion charge didn’t make him unpopular, his subsequent actions – the lying and the abuse of power, may well do. I sincerely hope so.
