Labour Abandons Support For New Heathrow Runway
This title of this post is the same as an article on Page 2 of today’s Times.
This is the first paragraph.
Labour will drop its formal support for a third runway at Heathrow today in a significant U-turn that leaves the plan on a knife edge.
Other points in the article.
- Labour MPs will have a free vote.
- 75% of all MPs support a third runway, including the SNP and the DUP.
- A Labour free vote probably means it would pass a vote.
- Labour has formally backed a third runway for fifteen years.
- The unions back the third runway.
It would all be so irrelevant, if we’d built Maplin in the last century. But Harold Wilson cancelled it!

About This Blog
What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
