Love fact, hate fiction. Love viable business, hate the misuse of legislation in preference to a bit of common sense!

@ChaterLesley @Slugslime2 @grantshapps @SirRogerGale @BorisJohnson

and all because Boris wanted to say he had another 'shovel ready' infrastructure project approved. I suspect it caught Tony on the hop, as he was hoping the DCO would be refused so he could build houses!!

Let's not leave @cmackinlay out seeing as he is also an avid supporter of #manston air CARGO hub opening. But then he doesn't live in #Ramsgate....NO to #manston!! @grantshapps #COP26 #ClimateCrisis

[Slug 🍃💚🍃 Vegan @Slugslime2]

To waste another £150,000 worth of tax payers money.... NO to #manston air CARGO hub #Ramsgate! #ovearup

@RSPManston can't wait to see what spin you can put on this lol

We’ve received the Manston Airport assessors report and expect to respond on its findings tomorrow.

[christabel bradley @christabelbrad1]

Right now, @grantshapps is deciding whether or not to agree to a giant new, cargo hub at Manston in Kent. Why the delay? @transportgovuk is he waiting until after @COP26? @guardianeco @Independent

@ChaterLesley @Slugslime2 @cmackinlay @grantshapps In a weird way, been able to say to fumes lovers that the experts (once more) agree with the argument that Manston is not needed, not the answer, and not the future. But who knows, maybe they convince Bezos to open a launchpad here…

[Barry James @mongoose3228]

Manston is dead in the water after this £150000 spend by the DoT.
Can they pay me the same because my report said the same 6 weeks ago and I did it for free.
spoiler: so did many others

The Independent Assessor concludes that there have not been any significant or material changes to policy or quantitative need case for the Proposed Development since July 2019 that would lead to different conclusions being reached (on Manston!) 😂 👋 😘

#BuildBackGreener also confirms that the #NetZero pathway for international aviation is based on @transportgovuk forecasts for aviation demand & CO2 emissions from UK airports. These forecasts did not include #Manston.

#BuildBackGreener, @GOVUK 's #NetZeroStrategy published this week, states: "We will support significant shifts from road and air to rail" for both passengers & freight.

[christabel bradley @christabelbrad1]

Govt gets civil service to look into viability of cargo airport at Manston. It’s a no - no need. @grantshapps gives it go-ahead anyway. Judicial review makes him retract. He gets new report by independent assessor who agrees: no need. Now what? #COP26 @guardianeco @guardiannews

[Thanet Extra @ThanetExtra]

An independent aviation assessor has found there is no need for a new freight airport at the former Manston airport site https://t.co/xYM0LRSC1B?

[Slug 🍃💚🍃 Vegan @Slugslime2]

NO to #manston air CARGO hub #Ramsgate!!! How many more reports are required to say that this proposed filthy, noisy and highly polluting scheme is not needed???? We are in a #ClimateCrisis!!!! Enough! @grantshapps @RSPManston #COP26

[KentOnline @Kent_Online]

The report concluded there was sufficient capacity for freight at other airports including Stansted and East Midlands rather than reopen Manston https://t.co/EHN69iRBVF
