The issue with this is that there’s actually nothing stopping these routes being operated right now.

Yes, slots are a valuable commodity at Heathrow, but, if these routes would be profitable, they could all be operated right now. But they aren’t….

Hugely important campaign which I fully support!

[Chris Hinchliff MP @CHinchliffMP]

I’m campaigning for a Great British Railcard.

Private firms fleeced us for years - just to get to work, appointments or see loved ones.

Public ownership must end the rail rip-off.

You can get a railcard like this 👇 (but smaller) if Ministers back my plan for cheaper fares.

[Robert Barnstone @robbarnstone]

If I go into the office on Fridays I always get a seat on the train, which I *never* do Monday - Thursday mornings. Time for @EastMidRailway and/or @TPExpressTrains to abolish peak fares on Fridays like other TOCs have done? #trains #manchester #warrington

[Gordon Brown @GordonBrown]

Time to tax the highly profitable gambling industry to pay for action on child poverty.

Gambling will not build a Britain for the future but children free of poverty will.

I support the overwhelming majority of the Government’s Plan for Growth, but on this issue the Chancellor is just wrong. And I have a sneaky feeling that taxpayers will have to cough up billions to subsidise road and rail upgrades required for the project #heathrowexpansion

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

We are one step closer to expanding our biggest airport – boosting investment in Britain, increasing trade for businesses and creating up to 100,000 jobs.

Expanding Heathrow is one part of our Plan for Change to kickstart economic growth and put more pounds in people's pockets.

[Robert Barnstone @robbarnstone]

More vital than a third runway at Heathrow!

[Lucy Powell MP @LucyMPowell]

Great to visit @manairport to hear about all the investment into Terminal 2. This now means that 95% of passengers hardly wait at all in queues for security and to get onboard. The offer inside has really improved too.

Manchester Airport is so vital to our city, connecting us to trade, visitors and much more.

How much longer will Heathrow’s board put up with Thomas Woldbye?

This experience couldn’t be further from what I’ve had at @manairport this year, particularly from their new T2!

[Robert Barnstone @robbarnstone]

Made a (rare) flight (from 🇮🇹) into Heathrow today. Appalling service from @British_Airways. Had to wait 43 minutes for this bus to arrive to take us to T5. The reason: “lack of available buses”. Perfect example of how @HeathrowAirport needs to be #betternotbigger

[Robert Barnstone @robbarnstone]

Agree with the gist of this but first private members bills should be moved to Thursdays and cement Friday as a completely non-sitting day so MPs can focus on being in constituencies. Then make the Tuesday and Wednesday sittings a bit longer, keeping Mondays as they are

EXC - Gen Z MPs are calling for a three-day week in Parliament

Ugh. It’s bad enough that I have to see this building every time I go out. Particularly poor judgement from Hoyle IMO.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

Heathrow has threatened to abandon plans for a third runway unless Sir Keir Starmer urgently supports the project, the airport’s chief executive has said https://t.co/sCdqn6KVYz

[Transport Committee @TransportCttee]

The following MPs have been appointed to the Transport Committee and its business can now begin.

I first raised the road surface problem (which led to buses not being able to serve the station) with Network Rail in January 2020 when I lived in West Drayton, so very glad to see this is *finally* getting completed, albeit after nearly 5 years!!!

[Danny Beales MP @DannyBeales]

The Elizabeth Line is a great resource to have here in Yiewsley. However, the bus service has not ran from the station for some time.

After pushing Network Rail, I'm happy to say that works are due to be completed soon and we are closer to getting our bus service back.

“All of these other south-east airport expansions combined don’t equate to the size of Heathrow’s expansion in its size or climate impact … Building Heathrow’s third runway would be like plonking Gatwick next to the existing site.” says @PaulBeckford84

[Robert Barnstone @robbarnstone]

Gatwick's second runway would be an easier 'win' than Heathrow's third

[Simon Calder @SimonCalder]

Heathrow is allowed only 1,315 take-offs and landings each day. In the busiest years all but a handful are used.
The boss of the UK's busiest airport tells me a 3rd runway will go ahead.
Until "R3" opens passenger numbers will rise thanks to bigger planes.

[Simon Calder @SimonCalder]

No 3rd Runway Coalition says: “Heathrow is already the country’s biggest polluter. Any plans for a 3rd runway will be subject to four tests, including on binding climate laws, air and noise pollution. Heathrow has an almighty, if not impossible, task at overcoming these hurdles.”

[Nicholas Cecil @nicholascecil]

New battle over Heathrow third runway erupts as its boss says expansion crucial for UK economy - but @sarahjolney1 @PaulKohlerSW19 @munirawilson @jeremycorbyn @johnmcdonnellMP @carla_denyer speak out against expansion of west London airport https://t.co/4z3PsF0nx7
