What if we built an airport in the Thames Estuary?
Oh wait, that was someone else…
And the thanks for coming award goes to… Sadiq from London.
Kind of amazing how he’s gone from potential party leader to total irrelevance, despite being the major of the one world’s biggest cities.
Meanwhile, Burnham is killing it up in Manchester, which is practically a village in comparison to London.
Absolutely useless man
Good, if only he’d done the same for the silvertown tunnel
He’ll lose my vote if he does that tbh. We have been saying no on everything for far too long as a country
Can this bugger do his job and reduce crime in London please?
What Starmer & co don’t seem to have considered is that public transport to & from Heathrow is already oversubscribed. Adding yet more people into the mix is madness. Build in the North. Extend HS2 to Manchester. Offset the carbon footprint by not forcing people to travel to London for long haul flights.
People are really vocally upset about Khan protecting Londoners from Air pollution.
Can anyone explain why they’re against this decision?
Feels like another thing people are taking the opportunity to hate on him for.
Just worry about buses and trains mate leave planes to other people
Parliament has voted for it, the Supreme Court gave the go ahead. His toolkit does not have many tools in it. Heathrow need to submit a a Development Consent Order and the Secretary of State is responsible for giving the go ahead for a nationally important infrastructure project.
If he doesn’t want a third runway, what are his suggested options for improving air links and reducing the number of flights held by ATC because Heathrow can’t get them to land fast enough due to lack of capacity?
Could have built an airport on the estuary, could have helped sponsor SAF or electric planes, could offload and improve rail links between Gatwick and Heathrow… instead there just seems to be silence.
If we don’t increase capacity in London, then alternatives at Schipol, Paris, Keflavík or Lisbon will happily take up the slack.
Just tell him he can put ULEZ cameras at the end of the runways. Watch him shine.
Gotta say, I’m highly sceptical of any benefits that may arise from this (outside of Heathrow bosses bank balances), and the environmental impacts, both long term globally and short term in the local area are real. Until air travel becomes a lot cleaner we really shouldn’t be encouraging more of it.
He shouldn’t have a say. Ignore and crack on.
What a country we live in where the Mayor of London thinks he’s bigger than the priminister of the entire country.
Silly, irritating little man with a vastly inflated sense of his own greatness. Ignore the little scrote and crack on. London has deteriorated significantly across many metrics (nightlife, crime, general disrepair) with air quality the only area where he’s actually delivered an improvement.
We should be using any tool to prioritise the northern leg for HS2 over the southern leg.
Worst thing to happen to London since the great fire. Beyond me why anyone could vote for this cretin. Perhaps he should consult with his nightlife Czar…
“Let’s oppose and make it impossible to build any infrastructure in the UK”
then
“Why is the UK not growing? Why does nothing work?”
The man who built a motorway tunnel through south london despite tfls own projections of it worsening pollution and inequalities in the poorest and most polluted areas.
Me thinks the man is a hypocrite.
How is anyone surprised by this? Its literally his MO. How can you charge people to drive their car when they have 100s of llanes flying overhead.
Allen key?
A city mayor is suppose to help encourage economic growth, not prevent it!
He doesn’t realise he has no actual power in this debate.
starmers da will make it
Khan wants us to remain poor
Humans are unbelievable. Maybe check out r/collapse to see why we need to be very worried about our collective future. But saying that here will be a total waste of time. Some of these comments are crazy
He’s an idiot and I normally agree with most of his policies but not this one. He hasn’t got a valid reason to be against it.
He won’t use his powers to stop tower hamlets getting rid of their green LTN’s but all of a sudden he can find the power to block a much needed airport expansion.
What about using it to deal with knife crime
Hey Bojo is a tool and on record willing to be used as obstruction on the runway!
What is this guy good for? Get rid of him. Useless.

Extraordinarily stupid.
Very disappointing from him.
