The contentious issue dividing Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan | James O’Brien on LBC

James O'Brien asks: 'are you Team Starmer or Team Khan?' Heathrow Airport has revealed plans for a £21 billion third runway, which could be open in a decade. Keir Starmer and his government are backing the plans. As is James, calling the proposals ‘a whopping great statement of ambition and intent.’ Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander described the expansion proposals as “a significant step towards unlocking growth, creating jobs, and delivering vital national infrastructure”. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan says he remains opposed to a third runway “because of the severe impact it will have in terms of noise, air pollution and meeting our climate change targets”. He warned that City Hall will “carefully scrutinise” the proposals, adding: “I’ll be keeping all options on the table in how we respond.” Listen to the full show on the all-new LBC App: https://app.af.lbc.co.uk/btnc/thenewlbcapp #jamesobrien #uknews #ukpolitics #labour #keirstarmer #sadiqkhan #heathrow #LBC LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.
