It is avaricious industry, complicit government and bent regulator vs the public. What a disgrace @GoodLawProject @LeighDay_Law

@HeathrowAirport @KoreanAir_KE Whilst @HeathrowAirport glorify flying, residents are exposed to continuous unsafe dB levels all day, out of the SID until after 23:30. One arrival circling exposing Surrey residents to 4 minutes of continuous exposure to 70dB+ @Saudi_Airlines @surreylive

Airlines use frequent flyer programmes to incentivise pointless flights with huge emissions - and our climate pays the price.

Act now to put a stop to pointless flights.

The economics of airport expansion don’t add up ✈️

Air traffic growth impacts the majority who suffer the significant environmental ill effects to a wealthy minority of frequent flyers ✈️

The government’s response has been to talk about it’s ‘Jet Zero’ plan, a net zero strategy for aviation, it involves technology that doesn’t exist yet, sustainable aviation fuel that generates greenhouse gases and offsetting that may worsen global heating. https://t.co/Ell7HzzrLj

I and other MPs have written a cross-party letter to the Transport Secretary seeking clarity on Heathrow’s funding commitments, and what assessment they've made of if any of the gap would qualify for a financial contribution from the public purse.

[Graham Simpson @grahambsi]

Wouldn’t it be great if Labour, Lib Dems and the Greens worked together to chart a new progressive course for the country. Each party wouldn’t get everything they want but it would be a better way of doing politics and we would all benefit. #Pluralism

In June, @theCCCuk announces: "there should be no net airport expansion across the UK"

This week, new @NEF report finds: "no credible evidence that in the UK in 2023, air travel growth drives economic growth."

There is absolutely NO justification for airport expansion 🚫

“€10 airline tickets are only possible because workers and taxpayers pay the true cost. For the planet and people’s sake, politicians must turn this situation around and make the train the more affordable option.” @GreenpeaceUK @Greenpeace

Shell's CEO chose the hottest day in human history to announce he was reneging on the company's climate pledges.
Thanks to the @newyorker for letting me call out this kind of despicable behavior

The sound of planes flying while you try to sleep may contribute to heart-related hospitalisations.

In a new @ImperialSPH study, researchers assessed the link between hospitalisations and late night/early morning aircraft noise in 6.3 million people living near Heathrow Airport.

[josephine becker @joa_becker]

Declining business travel and lower wages in aviation undermine claims made by the industry for the value of increased air connections.
Claims that airport expansion will help grow the UK economy should be treated with scepticism. https://t.co/Qq52zPHjq4

A favour everyone. It appears Twitter’s weird auto-unfollow glitch is back. Its never been more important to fight back with the truth so if you like my films more than the Government does please RT/check you are still following me & help me send the whole rotten lot packing

Aviation Report today shows CAA have had enforcement powers since 2003 but not used once. They allow airlines to pollute the air we breathe at well over WHO recommended levels. Why? 3 options: 1. Incompetence 2. Corruption. 3. Incompetence and Corruption. @UK_CAA @skynews
