Heathrow has submitted its latest plans for a third runway at Europe’s busiest airport. The total cost, including new terminals and infrastructure, will be £49 billion pounds. The airport says expansion will create up to 40,000 new jobs and add 0.43% to the UK’s GDP by 2050. However, the plans will face fierce opposition from locals, politicians and climate campaigners.

Kemi Badenoch criticises Deputy PM Angela Rayner, saying Labour ministers are seeking to raise taxes while she tries to avoid paying her own.

The deputy prime minister has alerted the independent adviser on the ministerial code and HMRC, saying she will pay any tax owed and fully comply. Report by Covellm.
