Just in case you thought Labour might stick to some form of green transition, they now seem to be favourably disposed towards expansion across three London-serving airports - Gatwick, Heathrow & Luton - all of which are looking for permission to expand their operations (in different ways).
We know the impact of flying on climate change, so saying its about supporting 'growth' by expanding passenger numbers seems misguided, at best.
Airports' lobbying seems to have succeeded!
