Airport commissions own growth, Heathrow

The UK minister who decided in favor of expanding Heathrow airport cited a report for "evidence". The report was commissioned by Heathrow airport.

Citing lobbying material without saying that's what it is is a typical technique of politicians in bed with business. Doing this on an issue so important for curbing global heating, and that has attracted so much public concern already, shows how much the Labour Party is now under the thumb of business.

It caused this by choosing "growth" rather than "tax the rich".

Perhaps the party should change its name to "Tory Lite".
