• 25 Nov 2025 Government has announced today its backing of Heathrow airport’s own scheme to build a 3rd runway, involving tunnelling the M25 & £50 billion in cost, with 15.000 losing their homes, air & noise pollution increasing over millions across London & climate targets lost. Huge mistake https://x.com/johnmcdonnellMP/status/1993303030578524535/photo/1 [Source]
• 05 Nov 2025 Lessons from history. In 1981 I was elected to GLC with Ken Livingstone. We cut fares, invested in housing & public services, increased wages & finished Thames Barrier to protect London from climate change. Thatcher abolished us. If Trump comes for Mamdani we should join uproar. [Source]
• 24 Oct 2025 The evidence is piling up on what ludicrous decision Chancellor has made in trying to force thru a 3rd runway at Heathrow & PM flying to COP whilst Chancellor trashes any hope of us meeting climate targets. Bizarre political & public relations strategies. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/oct/24/airport-expansion-uk-net-zero-mp-carbon-emissions-runway?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other [Source]
• 23 Oct 2025 Chancellor’s obsession with forcing thru 3rd Runway at Heathrow is like watching a political car crash, which would burden taxpayers & passengers with huge costs, undermine our climate change commitments, destroy over 4000 homes & increase noise & air pollution for 2m people. https://x.com/johnmcdonnellMP/status/1981365685826523362/video/1 [Source]
• 04 Sep 2025 Tonight a packed meeting in St Mary’s church in Harmondsworth, one of the Heathrow villages that will be bulldozed if a 3rd runway goes ahead.15,000 face losing their homes, their local schools and their community. This is also the iconic battleground over climate change. https://x.com/johnmcdonnellMP/status/1963697974942257298/photo/1 [Source]
• 01 Aug 2025 Labour’s green credentials will be shot thru as the 3rd runway becomes the iconic battleground of climate change. As new additional flight paths are announced just before the next election, this policy,forced thru by Rachel Reeves, will hang round the necks of Labour candidates [Source]
• 31 Jul 2025 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 https://x.com/johnmcdonnellMP/status/1950940093058863168/video/1 [Source]
• 14 Jul 2025 Pleased Clive Lewis MP will be leading our discussion on the climate crisis on Saturday with ​Asad Rehman & ​Ellen Fearan from Green New Deal Rising. Join us. https://x.com/johnmcdonnellMP/status/1944689594001186832/photo/1 [Source]
• 18 Jun 2025 Wonderful to be invited to Minet Infant School to present Sundip Bhambra with the National Teachers award on Thank a Teacher Day. Sundip is a marvellous teacher who’s devoted her life to teaching. Lovely also to meet pupils to hear their views on how to tackle climate change. https://x.com/johnmcdonnellMP/status/1935341162555998240/photo/1 [Source]
• 21 Jan 2025 Keir Starmer recognised significance of threat of 3rd Runway to achieving our climate change targets. I can’t believe having seen the recent floods, fires & melting ice caps that he could credibly justify such a change of policy as to back a 3rd Runway now. It’s also about trust. https://twitter.com/keir_starmer/status/1233061681464532999 [Source]
• 16 Dec 2024 Any attempt by government to back a 3rd runway at Heathrow won’t just destroy any green credentials, it will provoke again the biggest environmental campaign this country has witnessed, making Heathrow the iconic battle ground of the climate change threat. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cre784dnq5go [Source]
• 25 Jul 2024 Any attempt to resurrect plans to build a 3rd runway at Heathrow will meet with huge resistance. Heathrow will become the iconic battleground of the campaign not just in UK but across Europe to prevent climate catastrophe. https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/24/heathrow-prepares-third-runway-blueprint-for-labour-amid-record-passenger-numbers [Source]

• 07 Oct 2023 An incoming Labour government will inherit public services in crisis, low pay, poverty & failure to address climate change. ⁦@FisherAndrew79⁩ & I have looked at the scale of what this means in this report. http://labouroutlook.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Labour-In-Tray-Report-Final.pdf https://twitter.com/johnmcdonnellMP/status/1710631749128978802/video/1 [Source]

• 01 Aug 2023 As they experience the environmental impacts of the ongoing climate crisis, generations to come will look back on the 1st August 2023 as the day a UK government gave up on tackling climate change & put their futures at risk, all to gain a few votes in an election already lost.1/2 [Source]

• 27 Oct 2021 The biggest take away from this budget speech is the almost complete failure to address climate change. We face the existential threat of climate change and yet virtually ignored. [Source]
• 27 Oct 2021 So much for tackling climate change and fairness. Cutting air passenger duty on domestic flights undermines credibility before Cop26. So much for fairness, Sunak is cutting the levy on the Bankers who caused the economic crash in 2008. [Source]

• 11 May 2021 Fact we are facing an existential threat of climate catastrophe hasn’t penetrated Tory thinking given lack of priority being given to it. Instead the Tory priority is voter suppression. Corruption is at the heart of this government. Now they are corrupting our electoral system. [Source]
