Reeves meets headwinds over Heathrow expansion
Activists from Fossil Free London and Green New Deal Rising take part in a protest against a third runway at Heathrow, and expansion at Gatwick and Luton, outside Siemens Healthineers in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, where Chancellor Rachel Reeves is laying out Government plans for economic growth, and confirming support for the expansion of Heathrow, January 29, 2025
LABOUR’S economic growth plans hit fresh turbulence today as Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced government backing for a third runway at Heathrow Airport.
The move, which appears to fly in the face of Labour’s climate commitments, was opposed by a range of politicians and environmental campaigners, although welcomed by some trade unions.
Ms Reeves also announced state support for an Oxford-Cambridge “growth arc” and for investment in Manchester’s Old Trafford area.
