Some anti-pricing folks have claimed that congestion is on the rise in London, which is true. But that's largely because in 2006 there was a highly abnormal amount of street construction in the London CBD (according to the report) which impacted congestion. What the report points out is that without congestion pricing things would be far worse. That third point is an important one.

What a waste of time and money! I hope in the future they will consider the full range of ideas put forth by our crack team of congestion pricing denial folks.
