One of the reasons why the economic arguments made in support of expanding airports don’t stack up Business travel drives much of the economic impact of an expanded airport, but business travel has fallen considerably - and there are good reasons to believe it won’t bounce back

So this is an “improvement”. I wonder how much hand wringing went on before the decision was made to allow LHR to mark its own homework?

City Hall has triggered a high air pollution alert for Saturday 21 June as hot weather is expected to increase pollutant levels. We're urging Londoners to look after themselves, stop their engines idling, and refrain from burning wood or garden waste.

We have re-introduced #EllasLaw to Parliament. This Bill is about the right to breathe clean air, and to grow old without potentially lethal harm being done to our lungs, hearts and brains by preventable air pollution. It is also about a little girl. This is Ella's story 👇

Isn’t this just crushing the obvious from @possible ? “UK already has a huge tourism deficit, and #airport expansions simply allow the small group of UK residents who take most of the flights to take even more overseas holidays, exporting even more spend out of the UK." HACAN

Starmer asks Conservative peer to write planning bill to block judicial reviews on airport expansion. Villages/Towns could be polluted and destroyed, but people won't easily be able to bring a legal challenge. What options left for concerned citizens? theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

It’s absurd that private jet fuel is still untaxed when ordinary people are seeing living costs go up and up. I joined @_WeArePossible to call on the Chancellor to end this unfairness & make the richest pay their fair share, to support our public services & a healthy environment

Would anyone from Labour Climate and Environment Forum care to comment on this in the context of UK Government's determination to pursue a third runway at Heathrow. Was it even mentioned?

We are all familiar with the smell of burnt kerosene around airports but there is little data on passenger #airpollution exposure. Some French scientists set out to investigate. For the Guardian, my latest piece looks at UFP exposure. theguardian.com/environment/20…
