Just in case anyone is in any doubt that Navpi's post was splendid sarcasm, I would just mention that the MP in question, Mike Kane, represents Wythenshawe and Sale East and the airport falls in his constituency. Apparently ignoring warnings of the risk that R3 at LHR could jeopardise MAN's future growth with the resultant impact on jobs for his constituents, many of whom work at the airport, and the likely implications for infrastructure spend in the North, he voted for Heathrow expansion - I understand with some relish.
