Just weeks after fires tore through one of the world’s wealthiest cities and the news that global emissions rose faster than ever last year, Rachel Reeves is widely expected to announce a decision to back a third runway at Heathrow airport and expand Luton and Gatwick.
This isn’t just an act of clear climate vandalism - it also won’t deliver economic growth.
Because there is no economic growth on a dead planet. There are so many ways to bring our economy back from the brink - investing in high-speed rail, rebuilding our infrastructure and creating millions of jobs here in Britain to decarbonise the economy and restore nature. Airport expansion is not one of them.
There’s still time to stop this madness. Write to your MP urgently to put pressure on Rachel Reeves to drop these disastrous plans.
