Popular ride-sharing firm Uber has had its licence to operate in London revoked in a surprise move by the city’s regulator. Transport for London (TfL) said in a statement that Uber was “not fit and proper to hold a private hire operator licence”.

Tom Elvidge, Uber’s general manager in London, says the firm’s users – and its 40,000 drivers – will be “astounded” by TfL’s decision.
