Do any of our legal bods on here know on what grounds there could be legal challenges to the Heathrow decision?
Well the most obvious one is that the decision is incompatible with the Government's legal obligations in respect of air quality. As is the current airport of course.
Could the courts close the entire arirport?
Seriously though, I suppose the government could simply change the law in that regards.
If any Gov't readies go towards it (Which they will) Gatwick has a potential case there too.
Manchester not allowed into the process.
Probably more.
It doesn't matter how long the consultation process is, some lawyer somewhere will stand up and argue it was too short, poorly done or otherwise misconstrued.

Plus all the equality and diversity bollocks introduced since 1997. There's plenty of reasons for those who wish to see such a project delayed to get an audience before a judge, they hope they can find enough reasons, enough protestors and enough judges to delay the implementation of the decision indefinitely.
Shame. We could have given Richmond a proper Conservative to vote for not just an ego in a suit.
Send the bugger a bill for wasting voters time. Twat.
Well, hopefully that's what the electorate will do. The libs will make it all about hard brexit - send a message to May, Liam Fox and David Davis will be the content of every focus newsletter.
I don;t know if anyone follows Zero hedge but they are running a report on possible voting irregularities in Texas
One tweeter posted over 100 documented reports of voter fraud - its endemic. Check out MicroSpookyLeaks https://twitter.com/wdfx2eu7
Philadelphia's the most outrageous site of Dem electoral corruption. In many voting districts in 2012 Obama got 100 % of the vote to Romney's 0 %. Makes Tower Hamlets and North Korea look honest. I can see Hillary hitting 125 % in some neighborhoods.
Dear Lord, every US election since Bush vs Gore both sides have accused each other of electoral fraud/fiddling the vote machines/intimidation etc. It's as big a tradition as Thanksgiving and Halloween. You're beginning to sound as tinfoilhatty as Ms P.
100% to 0 % is in grotesque bad taste. You must agree to that, whatsoever your nonchalance to electoral fraud.
I would fancy I know Philadelphia passingly well. I've visited the city many times and both my wife and her sister were educated there. I find it wholly unremarkable that there might be some polling districts there where not a single vote was cast for for a candidate like Romney, especially when his opponent was black.
Carney says MPC will take Sterling depreciation into account at next meeting. Chances of a further interest rate cut are pretty close to nil in that case. Also rules out negative rates, saying there is something "unnatural" about them. Very sensible.
Reuters were reporting a couple of interesting side effects today of sterling's moves.
Tata are believed to be turning an operating profit of £10m pcm at Port Talbot now, while the British Steel pension deficit of £700m has nearly been wiped out, standing at just £50m now.

I really do not want to see a Lib Dem running on a stop Brexit ticket winning.

A reduction of over 90% since March.
