It’s nothing short of scandalous that those costs are not being scrutinised in more detail.May, Grayling, The SNP, most MPs, The Airport Commission, Transport Committee BBC are all culpable.
May needs a big ticket item to show London sorry Britain is “open for business”, apparently at ANY cost what a stale comment that is.
Grayling......well as Lisa Nandy MP indicated,
“do you think we are all mugs”?
The SNP are eyeing a juicy £3bn for Holyrod under the Barnett Formulae and devil the consequences.
Davies, no comment , well not one that’s printable.
As for the BBC , they are either totally oblivious or happy to play ball.

The airports vote has been pencilled in for Monday 25 June but Chris Grayling faces more trouble over yet another cock-up. DAC Beachcroft, legal advisers to the Heathrow Hub consortium proposing an extended runway at Heathrow, have today indicated that they will challenge the DfT’s National Policy Statement. They say it wrongly calculated the capacity of the extended runway option after a mistake by the Airports Commission (dating back before Grayling was Transport Secretary), thus erroneously finding the 3rd runway option had a higher capacity. This was one of the principal reasons why the extended runway was rejected.
The Planning Act – Section 13 to be specific – allows for a Judicial Review of an NPS in the six weeks after it has been designated, following a vote in parliament. If this was objectively an error of process then it does not look good for Grayling…
