Mayor sought legal advice after Reeves backed Heathrow expansion
Briefly

Sir Sadiq Khan has consulted lawyers about the government's plans for a third runway at Heathrow Airport, opposing it due to concerns over noise, air pollution, and climate change. This opposition creates a rift within the Labour Party, particularly as Chancellor and Labour figures like Rachel Reeves support the expansion for economic growth. Khan's legal team was consulted shortly after the Chancellor's endorsement of the project, and while the government acknowledges potential tensions, they consider Khan's position unsurprising given the timeline of the runway’s implementation, often seen as a long-term issue.
