I have been assured by someone who lives in Brompton that the traffic lights
all over what will soon be the Western Extension of the congestion charging
area seem to have been recently modified to create lots of traffic jams that
weren't there before. This is the same thing that was widely alleged to have
been done in the central area prior to introducing congestion charging
there.

Isn't there some kind of national audit office that makes sure politicians
don't deliberately massage figures to pretend that their schemes are useful?

The ONS removes everything going up from the inflation basket to keep
inflation low. The BOE don't like their figures either. So no probably
not.
Recent ONS figures got an error in them too.
