This government seem to be incredibly short sighted anyway. Handling of recent events seems to just confirm that they are out to do as much deliberate damage as possible to the economy but for what reason I'm not sure.
As a side note, with a dramatic fall in the number of European flights using London airports surely coming in the next few years, is there really going to be much need for any new runway? There is no chance the likes of LH will need 30+ slots per day at LHR when all the banking stuff moves to Frankfurt for a start and the various other EU airlines, including BA won't be shuttling business workers around anywhere near as much as they currently do simply because there won't be as much attraction to London, so a lot of space for Long Haul will free up with the current setup anyway. Perhaps that is thier plan?
