Bagso _ I agree with you - I'm just using the labels that politicaians and the papers use.....
anyway looks like LHR R3 is a dead duck (again)

I wonder if Boris's perspective will change now that he's MP for Uxbridge. After all, many thousands of his constituents' livelihoods are tied to Heathrow.
And it wouldn't be the first time he's changed his mind

Rumours circulating Westminster that Transport Sec will announce PM has passed Heathrow decision to new leader.
Given that May and Johnson are 100% against Heathrow there is talk that the Gatwick CEO has ordered a bottle of Champagne to be given to one if his employees
Suggestion is that Gatwick has it in the bag.......

Why do people on this thread assume that being against something while a constituency MP or a local mayor means they will keep that view when campaigning for/being the leader of the country?
I guess it must be because politicians have never changed their views, or their publicly claimed views, in any way.
Oh...hang on.....

DR,
It's not academic. Davies no more has the power to 'rule anything out' than you or I.
Govt can ignore him completely if they decide to.
Agree it's not likely at all, but it's not due to Davies saying so.

As I recall, the special Cabinet team that Cameron set up to consider the Davies report was criticised for not including those opposed to LHR expansion.
Did that group ever report to the full Cabinet?
If either Boris or May is elected, and their not being involved in the original meetings, I suspect they will insist on giving the matter very careful consideration which could take weeks, months? And with so many other priorities .......
Seriously though, whatever the arguments for LHR, the case for LGW post BREXIT must be tempting if it doesn't involve money from the public purse.
