Caption: Miliband Opposes Heathrow Expansion Over Emissions, Clashes with Reeves. Ed Miliband has warned that Heathrow’s expansion, along with other airport projects won’t proceed unless they align with the UK’s emissions targets. This stance contrasts with Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who has indicated she might overrule environmental objections to prioritize growth. Reeves is expected to back plans for airport expansions at Heathrow, Gatwick, and Luton in a Wednesday speech, emphasizing economic benefits. However, Miliband told MPs that aviation growth must fit within carbon budgets, including the UK’s 2050 net-zero targets. Meanwhile, independent advisers have urged against further expansion without a comprehensive national plan to manage aviation emissions.
