           “It is an injustice that someone driving their car once, pays more tax on their fuel than any airline paid on their fuel. It is baffling that we have this sector that doesn’t pay any tax or VAT,” points out AEF’s @chadceleste to @ZackPolanski

             According to ONS, UK residents made an estimated 94.6 million visits abroad in 2024 and spent an estimated £78.6 billion. The tourist trade deficit has risen to £46.1 billion. The last thing the UK economy needs is more people jetting off abroad. @friends_earth @NoR3Coalition

             The government is now considering two proposals for expanding Heathrow airport - we don’t think either of them will serve local communities or the planet.

             We've been talking about a third runway for decades, but the fundamental problem is Heathrow is surrounded on all sides by critical infrastructure that can't easily be moved, @ChadCeleste tells @SteveHReports.

             It's surprising to me that a lot of people still don't know that cows make milk for their calves, not us. To get it, we forcibly impregnate them, take their babies away and milk them until their bodies fail. Then we kill them. That's how dairy farming works.

             On ITV Meridian last night, @RAAN_BERKS commented on what Heathrow expansion means for many communities under Heathrow flight paths. More than 750 extra flights per day, or 276,000 per year. That's an awful lot of extra noise pollution. #heathrowexpansion

             We can see catastrophic wildfires and deadly floods as we breach 1.5° warming. How can @UKLabour justify bigger airports in the midst of climate breakdown? £21bn JUST for #Heathrow infrastructure is such a waste. We’ve stopped it before and will again.  https://t.co/zkFX4lLGFq

             Heathrow is submitting its plans for a 3rd runway today. It’ll mean 15,000 losing their homes, more noise for 2 million Londoners, the government missing its climate change targets & inevitably Heathrow coming for tax payer subsidies.For all these reasons,say no to the 3rd runway

             A 43 year old man raped a 14 year old girl. The barrister says "This case is all about the temptation that she seems to have shown to this defendant three times her age. He was unable to resist this temptation and embraced it with gusto." That barrister should be struck off.
