Rachel Reeves now seems to be in favour of a third runway for Heathrow Airport.
Keir Starmer hasn't always supported a third Heathow runway.
Prime Minister Kier Starmer in 2020:
Congratulations to the climate campaigners.
There is no more important challenge than the climate emergency. That is why I voted against Heathrow expansion.

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner in 2019:
But as you are fully aware the fact that we have too much air traffic circulating the skies over London is more environmentally damaging than another runway. The roads and other pollution is also of more concern & deadly. It isn’t as simple as you like to suggest on Heathrow

Lisa Nandy in 2020:
Not only have I always spoken out against a Heathrow 3rd runway, I've voted against it too. Today's legal judgement confirms that these proposals are incompatible with our legally binding climate agreements. We need a much more honest approach going forward.
