The papers are interested because it's a story that has been there for years but once it's a yes it will simply rumble on as and when there is a hiccup.
Yes It will make the headlines on Tuesday but: it wither away again as it always does.
The only headline will be about "long grass" and "cans being kicked" AGAIN. Yawn.
This was my comment in post #4745 16-10-16.

Of course there's a reason.... politics!
Certain bye-election this week isn't there?
It's not an election issue. In the two seats around Heathrow that changed hands in the last election both the losers and the winners were anti-Heathrow expansion.
In Brentford and Isleworth Labour had a narrow victory over the Conservatives; in Twickenham the Conservatives defeated Libdem Vince Cable.
Vince's "mansion tax" policy may have been a cause of his defeat. A cursory check on house prices would have informed him of the large number of houses selling for over £1,000,000. So much for the region being "blighted" by Heathrow!
