It doesn’t matter what John McDonnell thinks. It matters what Len McCluskey thinks, and Len has thousands of members at Heathrow, so Len will tell Corbyn to back Heathrow expansion.

Entirely agree with Patrick Newman. I’m glad that many people in the Labour Party are at last catching up on this. I’m a Green Party member and socialist, and will be voting Green on 12 December because it’s in a Green target seat, but will be very pleased if we get a Labour-led government with John McDonnell as Chancellor with green new deal, and new Labour MPs as well as Green MPs who understand the environmental as well as the social crisis we’re in.

No political party can be taken seriously on climate change and declaring a climate emergency that allows the expansion of Heathrow to proceed. It is not just the extra flights it is also the general pollution in that part of NW London that a large increase in traffic will generate.
