There's been nothing new or insightful recently, we're going round in circles.

If Cameron is serious about increasing hub access he will choose LHR and screw over Zac, but not until after the mayoral elections which frankly, he's going to lose.
If he fudges yet again and pretends that LGW has anything to do with inbound trade and ub connectivity he screws over Osbourne.
However, as the vociferous nature of the anti-LHR expansion camp is self evident, and some of the genuine environmental concerns will be open to challenge then if they can nail them down and reluctantly approve LHR then so be it.
For all the sound and fury and billionaire smugness of Zac "getting the wink" from his old chum, Gatwick are getting increasingly vocal and aggressive and Heathrow are currently pressing ahead with contract negotiations regardless. Politics is a dirty business but either way, by the summer, we should finally see a decision for a third runway. Any nod to Gatwick would not be supported by Osbourne, Cameron's likely successor. And please, no one seriously thinks Boris will be PM and more than Corbyn.
