London MPs quiz airport chiefs amid split over Heathrow third runway | London Evening Standard

Whilst supportive of Heathrow it seems bizarre that ALL London labour MPs support rw3. They should be voting on its merit and not base their voting intentions on an anti Corbyn stance which seems to be the intention, that is simply ridiculous logic.

Meanwhile it seems the SNP will now support LHR as well again based on dubious rationale, although there stance is more to do with the Barnett Formula.

For every £10bn spent in London those plucky Scots negotiated a juicy 10% spend up North, thats Holyrod not Manchester Leeds Liverpool or Sheffield.

" everyones a winner babe and thats ok"

If they simply vote for the project with the highest spend ie the mega spend on Heathrow they come up trumps

Right result for RW3 of course but how we get there is going to open up some massive divisons and questions is it not?

I can't help thinking that basing decisons on political rather than a solid understanding of the facts might be flawed further up the taxiway!
