Labour backlash over Heathrow as Sadiq Khan and MPs hit out at 'hugely damaging' 'mistake’ - Energy secretary Ed Miliband, who threatened to resign from Gordon Brown’s government over expansion of the west London airport,
Sir Sadiq Khan has been told by the Labour Government that “a period of silence would be most welcome” in a public rebuke over his warnings of “resurgent fascism” under a new Donald Trump presidency.
The Mayor of London recently wrote in a comment piece that "the spectre of a resurgent fascism haunts the West".
London mayor Sadiq Khan 'remains opposed' to a third runway at Heathrow, amid rumours of tension within the Labour party over the plans.
Sadiq Khan reportedly accepted £3000 (around $3,600) worth of Swift gig tickets when she was in London on her Eras Tour last August.
A civil war has erupted in the Labour Party after senior figures distanced themselves from Sadiq Khan's suggestion that Donald Trump is a fascist. The London Mayor said the incoming US president ...
As a democracy, we support democracy and the American people elected Donald Trump and the Republican party ... heard from Sadiq Khan and previous remarks that have been made by Labour ministers.”
Chancellor warns MPs not to ‘put their own interests above those of the country’ as she aims to kick-start the economy
Londoners strongly support Heathrow building a third runway, a poll has shown, as the Government faces a row with Sadiq Khan over the plan. More than half of people in the capital (56%) surveyed said they were in favour of the expansion, which Chancellor Rachel Reeves on Wednesday announced the Government would back.
Heathrow's third runway can be built and operating in a decade's time, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said. Reeves told the BBC she wanted to see "spades in the ground" in the current Parliament and planes to start using the runway by 2035.
Rachel Reeves will on Monday call on Labour MPs to back her plans to boost growth, including a highly contentious proposal to expand Heathrow airport, as a survey pointed to new signs of private sector pessimism about the UK economy.
Mr Khan was not doing a salute in the photo in question. The image crops out most of his hand. In the original photograph he can be seen giving a thumbs up. A reverse image search of the photograph shows that it was taken in 2017 at the Labour Party Conference in Brighton.
