‘Unsung heroes of our community’ – City MP thanks volunteers on Portsmouth Lifeboat Station Visit
Stephen Morgan (Portsmouth South)
City MP Stephen Morgan has said volunteers at RNLI Portsmouth Lifeboat Station are the “unsung heroes of our community” for their vital work.
Mr Morgan made the comments on a visit to the lifeboat station where he met the volunteer crew and explored the station’s lifesaving equipment up close.
Portsmouth Lifeboat Station has been providing search and rescue for the eastern Solent since 1965. The crews have won four medals for gallantry and currently operate two inshore lifeboats.
Last month, Portsmouth RNLI invited members of the public to visit the lifeboat station for their annual Open Day.
On the day, visitors enjoyed lifeboat demonstrations featuring Portsmouth RNLI’s Atlantic and D class lifeboats, as well as vintage lifeboats and lifeboats from neighbouring stations. Volunteers led guided tours of the lifeboat station, giving the public a chance to see the station’s launch tractors up close and learn what it takes to keep the charity’s lifesaving equipment in peak condition.
Commenting on the visit, Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan said:
“I greatly enjoyed visiting RNLI Portsmouth Lifeboat Station to meet with the volunteers who crew one of the busiest stations in the country.
“They really are some of the unsung heroes of our community, providing a 24-hour search and rescue service and saving lives at sea.
“On behalf of everyone in Portsmouth South, I was delighted to share my thanks to them in person for everything they do to keep people safe.”
Earlier this year, Mr Morgan met with local-born Olympic swimmer Katy Sexton MBE to encourage improved water safety in Portsmouth.
The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. Its volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service around the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland coasts.
The RNLI operates 238 lifeboat stations in the UK and Ireland and more than 240 lifeguard units on beaches around the UK and Channel Islands.

Didsbury to Stockport Metrolink Extension
Jeff Smith (Manchester Withington)
The Bee Network is a success in south Manchester and the Government is building on the integration of our bus, tram and train networks with £2.5bn in new funding. Last month the Chancellor announced that Greater Manchester will benefit from a huge investment in local transport, as part of the biggest ever investment in local transport infrastructure in city regions. This is game-changing investment for Greater Manchester and a huge vote of confidence in the Bee Network model – with a wider aim to improve connectivity and improve prosperity across every part of the country.
The £2.5bn funding will enable Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham to transform and grow the Metrolink tram network, with new tram stops in Bury, Manchester and Oldham and – most importantly for our area – a Metrolink extension from Didsbury to Stockport. It will also help deliver a fully electric Bee Network, with zero emission public transport network across bikes, bus and tram by 2030, including purchase of 1,000 new electric buses. And major infrastructure projects will unlock new homes, jobs and better connect communities.
The Government is delivering on its promise to back local leadership and transform public transport in our communities. With integrated ticketing, better connections, new tram lines and cleaner electric vehicles, the investment will mean quicker, greener journeys for residents across south Manchester.
I know how important affordable, reliable, and green travel is to residents in south Manchester, and we have a lot to look forward to, with improved transport helping to grow our local economy, and keeping us connected.
Portsmouth MPs Bring Community Together to Tackle HMO Concerns
Amanda Martin (Portsmouth North)
Portsmouth MPs Amanda Martin and Stephen Morgan have agreed to continue working with local people to address rising Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) numbers in Portsmouth following an event in the city.
The HMO Community Forum, hosted at Mayfield School, brought together residents, local representatives, and community voices to share experiences and explore solutions to the growing number of HMOs and their impact on our neighbourhoods.
At the event, key information about the rise of HMOs in Portsmouth was discussed including some of the challenges our communities are facing—from parking pressures to noise complaints, rubbish, and the need for better enforcement.
The Forum also provided local people with an opportunity to connect with neighbours facing similar challenges.
Between 2018 and 2023, the number of HMOs in Portsmouth rose from an estimated 3,920 to nearly 6,000.
Commenting, Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan said: “Thank you to everyone who joined our HMO Community Forum to share their experiences, ideas and concerns.
“It was helpful to hear directly from residents about the growing impact of HMOs across our city and agree next steps together to ensure more is done to address this issue.
“The conversation is not over. We will keep working with local people to ensure their voice is heard and action is taken.”
Portsmouth North MP Amanda Martin added: “Since my election last July, I’ve raised the issue of HMOs with the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, and others, leading to a meeting with the UK’s Chief Planner and the City Council.
“It’s clear from residents, officials, and myself that the council is simply not using the tools available to them to effectively manage HMO growth in our city.
“I share the concerns of local people and understand the impact HMOs can have on our communities, from fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour to increased pressure on parking and public services.
“This Forum was an important step in bringing people together to share their experiences and push the council to act. I’ll continue standing up for Portsmouth residents to ensure we get the enforcement, updated HMO register, and support our neighbourhoods urgently need.”
Both MPs have created an HMO Action Pack with practical information on how to identify and report HMOs, what to expect from the Council, and how you can escalate concerns.

Labour demand ‘give traders their say on market move’
Dame Nia Griffith (Llanelli)
LLANELLI traders and shoppers must be given their say on plans to move the town’s popular indoor market and demolish the Murray Street multi-storey car park.
That’s the demand from leading local Labour politicians who fear the piecemeal redevelopment of the town centre could be to the detriment of existing businesses.
Llanelli MP Dame Nia Griffith has further called for a new, bigger vision to be drawn up as a masterplan to map the future regeneration of the town.
‘What we really need is a proper vision for the town focusing on how we revitalise the town and increase footfall,’ said Ms Griffith.
”The proposed development needs to be part of a bigger vision that should be published, with wide consultation on what the people here in Llanelli want to see.
‘It should not be a piecemeal plan presented to them.’
Carmarthenshire County Council revealed four options for the future of Llanelli Market at a meeting with traders last week.
They are:
* Temporarily relocate the Market to outdoor or other provision before relocating to a new home on the current site.
* Relocate to Market Street South,
* Relocate to the former Woolworths building in Vaughan Street.
* Hybrid option of relocating the Market to the former Woolworths building with some traders going to empty retail sites within the town centre.
Ms Griffith said: ‘We are still all digesting the news from the county council that they announced last week.
‘We feel it’s really important that the traders, who are the people who are most affected, should have every opportunity to shape things as they move forward.’
Ms Griffith and Llanelli Town Council leader David Darkin will host a meeting with market traders at the Mayor’s Parlour next Tuesday, August 5, at 5.30pm to hear firsthand their opinions.
‘We understand that we can’t just ignore the problems of the structure of the current building and multi-storey car park, so we must do something, as we understand the council has the opportunity to draw down some very significant funding from the UK Government.
‘But there are lots of issues we know are concerning people and we need to make sure that these are all properly considered.
‘For example, I’m very keen to see that this is not used as an excuse to put rents up for traders because that would make it very difficult for most of them to carry on, and completely negate the whole aim of the project,’ said Ms Griffith.
‘We need to come together and have a really constructive conversation but be very clear about what the problems are so that we can take these issues to the county council.’
Councillor Darkin said he believed the Government funding pot available for the town centre is a multi-million pound pot, and that the scheme has to be completed by Spring 2028.
It is believed experts have assessed the Murray Street multi-storey car park as having ‘concrete cancer’ and having only a few years of life left.
‘There are concerns that traders have been presented with a fait accompli with the plans drawn up without consultation,’ said Councillor Darkin.
”The Chamber of Trade has been calling for a proper plan for the town centre for years but they have been ignored by the Plaid-led county council,’ he added.
‘We need a proper strategy.’

Update on Gaza
Liz Kendall (Leicester West)
On 29th July, the Prime Minister held an emergency cabinet meeting on the situation in Gaza.
I support the statement the Prime Minister made, after the meeting, confirming that the U.K will recognise the state of Palestine at the UN in September, unless the Israeli government takes significant steps.
I condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians seeking to meet their basic needs of food and water in the strongest terms. These actions will not bring the hostages home. The war must stop.
Whilst it’s welcome that more aid has been allowed into Gaza in recent days, it is simply not enough.
The UK has dropped aid via air drops, but this is not enough.
The Israeli government must allow aid to enter Gaza, without restriction. The Israeli government must agree to a ceasefire, not a pause.
The government will continue to work with our allies and with agencies to work towards the goal of long-lasting peace, stability and security that both Palestinians and Israelis deserve.
Please find a transcript of the Prime Minister’s speech here: www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-words-on-gaza-29-july-2025

Let’s Ensure Renters Feel the Benefit of Warm Home Upgrades
Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Clapham and Brixton Hill)
Mould and damp spreading like a rash across the walls, freezing conditions, energy bills going through the roof. Week after week, private renters in my South London constituency come to me with these kinds of issues, frustrated by landlords who ignore their complaints and anxious about the implications for their health and finances.
At the root of these problems is one thing: poor energy efficiency. After a decade of shredded environmental standards and a succession of botched insulation schemes, the UK has some of the leakiest homes in Western Europe.
Research from Generation Rent has found that nearly four million private renters in England and Wales regularly struggle to pay their energy bills, while just over three and a half million live in homes with damp or mould.
More worryingly, nearly half of those who regularly struggle with energy costs say they have had to cut back on daily essentials like food, while more than a quarter have gone into debt.
Poor conditions in rented homes are making people and planet sick
It’s therefore no surprise that official government statistics show more than one in five private renters are living in fuel poverty, the worst rate among all housing tenures. Meanwhile, according to the National Audit Office, the UK’s 28 million homes accounted for 18% of all UK greenhouse gas emissions in 2021, the most recent year for which data is available.
Poor conditions in Britain’s rented homes are making both people and our planet sick. DESNEZ’s ambition to upgrade all privately rented homes to Energy Performance Certificate C or above by 2030 is extremely welcome.
The latest private landlord survey found that only around a third of landlords who rent out homes with poor energy efficiency ratings plan to improve them, so government action on this issue is sorely needed.
In my own constituency of Clapham & Brixton Hill, 53% of privately rented homes will need to be improved in the next five years. The national figure is even higher at 55%. This is a mammoth task that requires serious investment.
It is right that the Government’s core aim is to reduce fuel poverty. But the National Residential Landlords Association is already briefing that landlords will be looking to recoup the cost of investment in energy efficiency improvements by increasing rents.
There’s nothing to stop landlords cashing in on increased property value
When I tabled a parliamentary question on this issue, the energy minister cited protections within the Renters’ Rights Bill as sufficient to prevent this. But Generation Rent’s polling found nearly seven in ten private renters have never heard of the First-Tier Tribunal (the system renters can use to challenge rent hikes).’ Meanwhile, less than one in five would be ‘very likely’ to challenge a rent increase. In any case, there is nothing to stop landlords from evicting tenants to sell their property and cash in on its increase in value, delivered with public money.
This issue is even more concerning where landlords receive government grants to make improvement works, means-tested based on their tenants’ lower income. I heard one story of a family whose landlord had substantial energy efficiency upgrades installed with support from a grant. Once the upgrades were done, the landlord hiked up the rent by £500 a month, meaning the family faced a massive shortfall between their housing benefit and the rent, ultimately leading to their eviction.
The success of this policy can’t rely on an unstable combination of the goodwill of landlords and an inaccessible, opaque redress system. That’s why I tabled an Early Day Motion, calling on the Government to strengthen protections for renters as part of its Warm Homes Plan, with a focus on instances where public money is used.
This could easily be achieved through some simple amendments to the Renters’ Rights Bill, but unfortunately the Government recently rejected an amendment from Baroness Jenny Jones which would have given renters stronger protections against rent hikes when a landlord receives a grant.
Private renters were the tenure type most likely to vote Labour in 2024. These votes were based on a promise to reform our broken renting system. They must not be taken for granted. Generation Rent’s polling also asked renters about their support for the government’s policies in this area.
Net support increased by 41 points from +14% to +55% when renters were given a scenario where the government would protect them from rent increases versus when they were told their rent would increase because of improvements.
With Reform claiming the push towards net zero as something that will hit working people in the pocket, it’s vital we get policies like this right. We need to protect renters from eviction and unaffordable rent hikes. If renters enjoy the benefits of their new warmer home and cheaper bills, it will show that policies which tackle the climate emergency can also directly benefit working people.

July Newsletter
Mohammad Yasin (Bedford)
Dear Constituent,
After a busy few months in Parliament, today is officially the first day of recess and I’m looking forward to having a decent stretch of time to spend out and about in the community meeting residents.
I’ll be delivering my annual report over the coming weeks and I’d like to extend my huge thanks to our volunteers who will be helping me with this big task to ensure every household across the Bedford and Kempston constituency receives a copy: our local councillors and I couldn’t do this without you.
Yours sincerely,
Mohammad Yasin MP
Constituents get in touch
Since my last newsletter, my office has received nearly 1,500 emails and opened nearly 800 cases.
The biggest topic for campaign and policy emails was of course the welfare reforms contained in the Universal Credit Bill, which passed its third reading last week. I have been clear on my view, that we must ensure changes are made the right way and by working with those who will be effected.
In the constituency
Since my last newsletter, I have had the pleasure of attending the following meetings and visits around the constituency:
- A local Youth Empowerment Project, working to support young people through volunteering and apprenticeship opportunities.
- Bedfordshire Great Ouse Valley Environmental Trust (BedsGOVET), who continue to provide me with updates on their excellent work monitoring water quality in the area. is the voice of Bedfordshire’s concern about the alarming state of pollution in the River Great Ouse through our county.
- Rivertree Free School opening, which will provide much-needed places for children aged two to 19 years old from across Bedford Borough, whose needs have been identified as requiring specialist educational placements. I welcome this state-of-the-art specialist school in our area.
- St Martin’s Church’s summer fayre.
- Armed Forces Day celebrations in Harpur Square.
- The Kenyan Community Bedford summer barbecue at the Addison Centre in Kempston.
- The Shaheedi Sports Council of Bedford’s Annual Sports Day in Kempston alongside Kempston councillors. The energy was electric as hundreds of residents and teams from all over the country came together to compete in a fun packed day.
- FLAG Bedford for their coffee morning at Priory Methodist church, speaking with people about my role as an MP, and the work the group does to support adults with disabilities in Bedford.
- Link to Change coffee morning, an opportunity for stakeholders to come together and discuss the fight against child sexual exploitation here in Bedford. The statistics for our region are sobering. It is vital for us as a community to be able to talk openly about the challenges our young people are facing locally.
- Transfiguration Church – Kempston for its summer fete.
- Bedford Boat Club its fantastic 75th anniversary celebrations BBQ.
- Eid Mela at Addison Howard Park, celebrating its 10th anniversary. This Mela is a huge success, bringing the community together with food, music, and rides for kids.
- Castle Newnham school, where I was shown around the sports and music facilities. We discussed the huge potential to improve these facilities and encourage more young people into the arts and sport.
- Ridgeway School’s Eco Committee to learn more about the work they’re doing towards becoming more sustainable and environmentally aware. Congratulations to the school for recently being awarded the Green Flag initiative, in recognition.
- ACCM 2024/25 ‘Adult Learning Programme’ celebrations for students, in recognition of their success and achievements. I was honoured to play a part in presenting the award certificates.
In Westminster
Turning to Parliament –
In Parliament I welcomed the Government’s focus on prevention through the roll-out of Best Start family hubs. In Bedford, we have seen the benefits of integrated services building on the Sure Start legacy, with the Allhallows family hub set to open soon in Bedford town centre. I invited the Secretary of State to visit the hub to see how joined-up youth and family services can support children, prevent antisocial behaviour and give every child the best start in life.
On matters of conscience, I recently voted against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at its Third Reading. While I appreciate that this is an issue on which sincere views differ, I remain convinced that legalising assisted dying without first delivering universal, high-quality palliative care risks compounding existing inequalities. My full statement on this vote was shared publicly, and I’m grateful to the many constituents who took the time to share their perspectives with me. The Bill is now being considered in the House of Lords.
You will have heard that I no longer hold my trade envoy role. I am grateful for the messages of support that I’ve had from some of you, but I can assure you it is very much business as usual continuing to support my constituents as a visible and accessible Labour MP for Bedford and Kempston.
I understand the whipping system is an important part of government – I did not take the decision to vote against the Universal Credit Bill lightly, and I know the Government will not have taken their decision lightly either when they asked me to step down as envoy.
Having had numerous discussions with concerned constituents, colleagues, and advocacy groups, one thing was universally agreed – the current system is not fit for purpose. it is crystal clear that it was the Conservative Government which broke it, and they have no answers to fix it. I look forward to the upcoming work of the Timms Review to look in detail at ways that PIP and UC can be reformed, and will follow further progress of the Universal Credit Bill closely.
This month marks one year since Labour’s return to government, following fourteen years in opposition. Whilst there is still a way to go, I want to note what the Labour Government has achieved so far in delivering our manifesto commitments, after inheriting one of the worst economic legacies in living memory.
One year into office, the Labour government has begun delivering on its promise of change, laying strong foundations across national security, economic stability, and secure borders. Defence spending is being increased to 5% of GDP by 2035, Armed Forces personnel have received the largest pay rise in two decades, and a new Border Security Command is targeting criminal smuggling networks. Labour has also stabilised public finances, controlled inflation, and secured major trade deals with the EU, US, and India—boosting British jobs and industries.
Labour has prioritised economic growth by raising the minimum wage, launching a landmark Employment Rights Bill, and initiating the largest investment in housing and infrastructure in a generation. Over £100 billion in private investment has been attracted, creating 380,000 jobs, while a new industrial strategy supports key sectors like steel and automotive. In the NHS, record funding has helped reduce waiting lists and deliver millions more appointments, with a major health plan aiming to shift the system toward prevention and digital care.
On public safety, Labour is restoring neighbourhood policing with 13,000 new officers and tougher powers to tackle antisocial behaviour and theft. In education, reforms include expanding free school meals, improving teacher recruitment, boosting school attendance, and investing in childcare and skills. Labour is also driving forward the clean energy transition, lifting the onshore wind ban, launching GB Energy, and investing in nuclear, carbon capture, and home insulation—cutting bills and creating jobs.
Labour’s first year marks a shift towards stability, opportunity, and long-term renewal across the UK. While it has been a bumpy ride at times – the Labour Government is still delivering the best pest policy agenda of all the political parties. The Tory leadership is still floundering and have no answers or contrition for the Economic crash; record NHS waiting lists, Record-high immigration post-Brexit and for leaving the country in dire straits, gaping holes in our National security and our Armed Forces undermined.
The Reform Party is experiencing the difficulties of putting their politics of grievance into policy and all they have offered is Unfunded tax cut plans for the wealthy, Threats to NHS with proposed insurance-based model, huge cuts to welfare, disability employment rights under their “DOGE reforms.
I am very much looking forward to a break from Parliament and focusing on constituency matters. I will spend the summer in our community engaging with constituents and businesses and getting ready for conference season.

Nesil Caliskan MP launches campaign to save birthing centre at Barking Community Hospital
Nesil Caliskan (Barking)
Nesil Caliskan, the Labour MP for Barking, has criticised the local NHS on their proposal to close the birth centre at Barking Community Hospital.
The closure would mean women in Barking and Dagenham would be required to travel to Newham University Hospital, which in its last inspection was ‘requires improvement’.
Nesil Caliskan MP told us:
“The proposals to cut services maternity services at Barking Community Hospital come as Secretary of State, Wes Streeting, announced an investigation into maternity services across the country.”
Nesil Caliskan MP for Barking has launched a campaign to save the local birth centre and is calling on residents to share their views and experiences by completing a survey.
“Expecting mothers in Barking and Dagenham deserve to give birth in a safe, local facility.
“Instead, the local NHS are proposing to direct pregnant women outside our Borough, to Newham Hospital which is currently rated ‘requires improvement.
“This indicates the scale of the problem for maternity services and the appalling state they have been left in by the previous Government.
“I have already raised my concerns in Parliament and will continue to make representations to the local NHS.”

It was great to call into Neighbourhood Watch in Pelsall again and catch up with Edwin and Andrew.

It was also fantastic to hear about Project Phoenix – a pilot community-run initiative launched by Walsall Council! This project is dedicated to building a stronger community right across our Borough, and I’m really keen to see the positive impact it will have.

Starmer must stop ‘pussyfooting around’ – Jo White
Jo White (Bassetlaw)
After a good kicking at elections, the usual and heavily anticipated response from the ruling party is that we are listening. But this isn’t going to wash. Labour needs a reset.
Sir Keir Starmer has shown strong leadership internationally and he needs to start showing the same leadership in our own country and stop the Government pussyfooting around. He should take a leaf out of Donald Trump’s book by following his instincts and issuing some executive orders. This is leadership from the front.
Where are the child abuse inquiries where the victims are still seeking justice? Telford-style inquiries should be set up immediately in the towns and cities where grooming gangs are running rings around the authorities.
There should be an immediate introduction of digital ID cards, required for employment and accessing public services. This is the only way to stop illegal immigration.
Free our public services from the pressures of Covid debts so they have the finances to deliver on our priorities by writing them off. Our schools and hospitals can be lifted from the shackles of debt in the way quantitative easing was used when Gordon Brown brought stability during the banking crisis. This would be a game-changer.
People are fed up with being told how to run their lives by people looking down their noses at them. We have a huge problem with our messaging; it is failing to hit the mark. Slogans on meeting our net zero targets are a prime example. They are meaningless for people who are facing rising energy costs and purchasing an electric car is an unattainable luxury.
The language needs to shift to the guarantee of green energy in order to get free hot water and cheaper electricity bills. Building on our security by making Britain self-reliant in energy production.
While the Government is busy talking to itself the voices of those on the outside are not being listened to. The realities of living in areas where there have been no big transport projects or huge development investments needs to have a voice around the table. Our lives are very different from the metropolis, our choices, and opportunities, less, our facilities are more remote or non-existent.
The demands raised by the new Labour MPs from the post-industrial towns, where infrastructure is poor and there have been years of disinvestment, and where large numbers voted for Brexit and have now switched to Reform, must be taken off the to-do list and urgently actioned. We know this works.
Ros Jones, the re-elected Labour mayor of Doncaster, made reopening Doncaster airport her number-one priority. The Government committed £30 million investment and she was rewarded at the ballot box.
While over half the country voted for Brexit, there isn’t a single person sitting in the Government who backed the EU leave deal. Where are the voices of the 40 Labour MPs who argued in favour of respecting the referendum? The number of government ministers representing leave-voting constituencies is insignificant.
Both Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher brought in people who were not like them, possibly people that they didn’t even like, and they were certainly people they sometimes disagreed with. This Government needs to step outside its comfort zone. Sir Keir needs to spend more time travelling the country quietly listening to what people are really thinking. This is a sign of a confident government.
Now we need to be honest with ourselves and address the issue that has hung like a weight around our shoulders since the early days of this Government, the Winter Fuel Allowance has now become our poll tax problem. We have lost the pensioner vote because of this; I hear the anger. To serve as the Government that listens, we should be immediately raising the threshold to the higher income tax level, and it is an executive order that my constituents in Bassetlaw would all welcome.
When Harold Wilson first became prime minister in 1964, the country had been left in a ruinous state with an £800 million deficit. Tough decisions were taken, including freezing a pensions rise, and there were concerns about rising immigration. A by-election disaster led to a reset. A Labour MP at the time commented: “The prime minister was becoming just a technician. [The by-election] forced him to remember what it was to be a political leader.” Wilson went on to win a landslide less than a year later. Sir Keir can take lessons from his approach

The Third Runway: A Monument to Mediocrity
Kit Malthouse (North West Hampshire)
An abridged version of this article ran in The Times on 3rd February 2025
In 2007, in the pages of this newspaper, I argued that Britain should seize the moment and move Heathrow to the Thames Estuary, freeing up the congested west London site for much-needed housing while creating a world-leading transport hub fit for the 21st century. It was an ambitious plan—perhaps too ambitious for a nation that has lost its appetite for grand infrastructure. Seventeen years later, what do we have? The same tired debates, the same dithering, and now, a third runway proposal that represents the absolute minimum of what could be done. It is not a vision; it is a concession to stagnation.
Throughout history, Britain built infrastructure that transformed cities and continents. The Victorians laid thousands of miles of railways across India and Africa. British engineers built the world’s first underground railway in London, the great docks of Hong Kong, and the vast shipping hubs that made global trade possible. Ours was once a nation that saw scale and complexity as challenges to be overcome, not reasons to prevaricate. Today, while China constructs floating airports in Hong Kong and Dalian, we are still arguing over a few extra miles of tarmac at an aging airport hemmed in by suburban sprawl.
The case for expanding Heathrow is undeniable. The airport operates at near capacity, with any disruption causing delays that ripple across the global aviation network. Additional capacity is needed. But the third runway is not a bold leap forward—it is an unimaginative compromise. The design is a relic of a bygone era when Britain was still willing to approve large infrastructure projects but had already begun its slow descent into cautious incrementalism. Surely for a solution we should be looking beyond the immediate horizon, daring to create something transformative.
Compare this to the grand infrastructure ambitions of Asia. Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok, which replaced the legendary but perilous Kai Tak airport in the 1990s, was built on reclaimed land. It was a marvel of engineering (mostly British), completed in just six years. Now, China is taking the concept even further: Dalian is constructing a floating airport, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. This is a country that doesn’t simply accept geographic limitations—it overcomes them. Britain, meanwhile, is paralysed by protest groups, endless consultations, and political hand-wringing.
A floating airport in the Thames Estuary—an idea proposed and swiftly dismissed—would have been a statement of ambition. London could have had its own Chek Lap Kok, a world-class hub unencumbered by the constraints of Heathrow’s location. Instead, we are left with a piecemeal expansion of an outdated site, in a project that will take decades and still leave Britain trailing behind.
The environmental argument against expansion is often cited as a reason for delay, but it is a red herring. Modern aviation is rapidly advancing towards lower emissions and greater efficiency. If the concern is air pollution and carbon footprints, the answer is not to stifle airport expansion but to embrace new technology, support cleaner aviation fuels, and invest in modern air traffic management. Britain should be leading these efforts, not using environmental concerns as an excuse for stagnation.
The economic cost of our hesitation is immense. Aviation is a key driver of trade, tourism, and investment. Heathrow’s constraints mean we lose out to European rivals, with airlines shifting long-haul routes to Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. The third runway, even if built, will do little to reclaim lost ground. By the time it is operational—assuming it even survives the judicial challenges that will inevitably come—other nations will have long since surpassed us.
What Britain needs is a fundamental shift in mindset. We must stop viewing major infrastructure projects as necessary evils to be endured and start treating them as national priorities. This requires reforming our planning laws, streamlining approval processes, and fostering a political culture that celebrates engineering excellence rather than recoiling from it.
The third runway at Heathrow is not the answer—it is a symptom of our decline. Instead of an afterthought tacked onto an aging airport, we should be considering radical alternatives: offshore airports, high-speed rail integration to regional hubs, and a renewed commitment to infrastructure that places Britain at the forefront of global connectivity. We were once a nation that built the world’s most advanced transport networks, that pioneered engineering breakthroughs others only dreamed of. We can be that nation again—but only if we stop settling for mediocrity and start daring to think bigger.
The world is not waiting for Britain to catch up. While we squabble over a single new runway, China is building entire new airports on water. The contrast is stark, and the lesson is clear: boldness breeds success, hesitation ensures decline. If Britain truly wishes to remain a global player, we must abandon the timid incrementalism of the third runway and embrace the kind of audacity that once made us great.

Dan Jarvis' Christmas Message
Dan Jarvis (Barnsley North)
Christmas is a very special time. It's when we come together with friends and family to take stock, and give thanks for what we have.
Some years – in the best of times, this is cause for celebration.
Other years – it's more complicated if we're missing loved ones,
affected by illness, or facing money worries, homelessness, or loneliness.
Sometimes – let’s be honest, for many reasons, Christmas can just be about getting through it, and that's ok!
Because regardless of the year that’s been, or the circumstances you find yourself in, Christmas offers everyone a precious gift – hope.
