well I don't know about the rest,

but I for one think that the idea that people who have little or no
business at the airport are going to have to suffer 5 years of
disruption whilst they rebuild the M25 to create this Hub airport
entirely unreasonable


Highly unlikely ever to happen.

Boris did promise to lay down in front of the bulldozer, after all.

True to form, I gather he's backed down from that commitment.

but that doesn't mean that he's backed away from not liking it

and therefore might cancel it when he has the lever to do so

Johnson changes his principles more often than his hairdo. It suited him
(and his successor) to oppose Heathrow expansion while mayor of London (I
think Khan was pro-expansion when he was a transport minister).

Boris got quieter on the subject when he became MP for a constituency with
many Heathrow workers, and might well flip if he becomes PM and discovers
that the business community that he's already offended, and key Tory donors
strongly support Heathrow expansion.

Promises promises!

Is that when he expects to be kidnapped by an alien spaceship?

Have they got one with a big enough cab to take all the people offering

Do you mean Heathrow expansion at all, or this particular version of
the plan?

Can't see any major expansion of Heathrow happening. It is going to be
bogged down in legal and political arguments for decades. If you need
another runway in the south east, Gatwick or Stansted are the more
logical choices, they have the space and the basic infrastructure to
support expansion. Heathrow, infamously, doesn't have the infrastructure
to adequately support its current operations.
