- Chancellor Rachel Reeves has given a speech on growth in Oxfordshire.
Towards the end of her speech, Ms Reeves declared her support for a "badly needed" third runway at Heathrow Airport in a much-anticipated announcement.
She says a third runway could increase potential GDP by 0.43% by 2050 and create more than 100,000 jobs.

First they talk about air pollution then they want a third runway. Hypocrites. Liars!!
Two runways is pitiful by international standards. Schiphol, Frankfurt and CDG all have 4. Most large US airports have 6 to 8 runways.
The fact u need to announce adding a runway is pitiful. 😂😂
No one cares
There are SIX major airports in London. It's not lagging behind at all.
Yes but there's 6 airports in London
@@GreatWesternTransportation no there are 6 in London alone. There are over 40 in the UK
we need another runway so more immigrants can come in quicker.
That don’t make no sense.
Immigrants are keeping up your already dire growth figures pal.
😂
@@World_war03 I love the sarcasm
they swim across the english channel
Badly needed, to import the next 5 million immigrants between now and 2032. How else is the government going to achieve that target? Rubber boats just aren't big enough ;-). Despicable me, or despicable Labour Party?
I thought under net zero all major uk airports were closing by 2050?
It's all just in-the-moment however-we-feel-like-it when-our-team-is-in-power gaslighting. 😂
Imagine telling the lie that this is going to benefit the areas outside of Greater London with a straight face. 😂
Just shows it's all bull 💩
Is that the same net zero that sends missiles to Ukraine to blow up fuel depots? 😂
@@doreencardwell8008
Yeah, I'd like to know the carbon footprint of all these wars 😂
@@doreencardwell8008no it’s the net Zero so silly Milly can make his mates Rich & make our bills go up .
How to lose the right wing and the left wing in just 7 months.
Tbf.. the right wing are so stupid they get lost even when on the right path 😂
They tend to be mostly unemployed who have no cv or desire to work but complain about jobs being taken.. jobs they can’t be bothered to work because things should be handed to them!
Japan would have this built in 2 years. It will take the UK 2 decades just to divert the M25 through a new tunnel by which time the budget will be billions and we will run out of money and the project will be scrapped.
@@paulbarker6743 tax will rise year by year just to fund it
ULEZ and a third runway of planes that are more polluting. Make it make sense?
Zelensky is blowing up oil and fuel depots in Russia with the missiles we send them. ULEZ? 😂
Khan wanted the revenue from the ULEZ expansion
It would be better for the economy if they finished work on HS2 or at least develop the site, the area around euston looks terrible, and the construction trail towards the north is just sitting there.
Corruption.
Amazing video, Despite no jobs and people can no longer afford to live, people will be lining up to live off the government. Acquiring $63k monthly is indeed a blessing.
How??
Well, I picked the challenge to put my finances in order. Then I invested in cryptocurrency,stocks,through the assistance of my discretiotnary fund manager, Amelia Naik
Wow I know Amelia Naik. Her platform maintains a unique perspective and is very transparent with their investors. Regardless of whether or not she outperforms. I will forever stay invested!
Same here I have made more than 90k
God bless MRS Amelia Naik. God bless America🇺🇸
I’m not here to converse for her to testify just for what I’m sure of, she’s trustworthy and best option ever seen.
This country's big problem is that all the wealth, resources and investments are going to London whilst the rest of the UK is underdeveloped... and their solution is to invest in another runway in London. Make it make sense.
It's where the traffic is
Not just going to London but real wealth is being taken out of London!
Out of the country actually.
The UK just isn’t worth what it gives, we have nothing to offer Europe let alone the world! Except visas!
@@maxk.l.25 meanwhile water bills are rising 50% this year.uk is a failure
I just cannot understand how adding a runway adds growth to the UK. The companies who operate will make more money sure but if they aren't UK tax payers then it does nothing.
It's a liebour thing
My understanding is London Is a massive place for stop-overs and international flights in general, so increasing capacity to fly people in means more customers, business people etc. Might have the wrong end of the stick there but it seems logical atleast
@@alexanderswarbrick4105 errr so they spend their money in duty free FFS , grow up
@@alexanderswarbrick4105 but the money goes to businesses......if they pay no tax then how does the UK get any money from it. All it sounds like we are doing is spending tax payers money to earn money for businesses.......who pay no tax.
@@SteveJones-gz4vdand what about the torie thing? Where they spend millions to deport 2 people!
Wake up!
All these politicians are the same.
For those living under the flightpaths and who may be concerned, I wouldn't worry too much. Nothing else she's said has come true.
20 plus years to get this far .
How embarrassing.
I don't believe a thing this woman says
Net zero but more runways.
Not a bloody clue.
Good work No NHS more runway
NHS will have a runway for waiting lists.
Lol they will take your cars then add more planes
Rachel from milk tokens refused leeds and bradford airports extra runway on the grounds that she did not want more people using them.
What is badly needed is the government needs to go sooner rather than later for the sake of the country.
Privately owned.Why do they need tax payers support!!!
Milliband must be spinning on his wind turbine .
Oh net zero? What absolute double standards. Just a load of....
Close the boarders, save the UK 🇬🇧
So their cutting disability for a third runway
badly needed or someone needs a big building contract
Factually incorrect from the first statement. There are numerous runways built since the 1940's
Manchester Airport's Runway 2 (23L/05R)
Opened in 2001
3,050 meters (10,006 feet) long
Fully constructed from scratch
London Stansted Airport's Runway (04/22)
Rebuilt and extended in the 1980s
Now 3,048 meters (10,000 feet)
London City Airport Runway (10/28)
Constructed in 1987
1,508 meters (4,948 feet) (not extremely long but purpose-built)
Farnborough Airport's Runway
Completed in 2003
2,608 meters (8,556 feet)
Why does everything has to be done in london if they spent the money on other parts of the country that will be a good start but how will she do this with kahn and milliband not wanting it so this is just words
We will need this to send the illegal immigrants back home 😂😂😂😂
They will use it to bring them in more like...
No! to welcome more!
This is for the people from the UK leaving for America.
That runway is one way.
Don't worry guys it will be finished by 2080 🎉 and the slow speed rail system will be finished around 2033 so things are looking good 😂
Shes right really because all the illegal immigrants are needing to fly in their families and must have room to land?
Another runway because many people commute to the uk for work 😂
Unite and GMB are all for it
These corrupt people have to please their paymasters
This government don’t know if there coming or going. Net zero = third massive runway lol. Doesnt this just say it all. They should be drilling for our energy…
"Net zero for thee, but not for me!"
😂
😢😭
Whos building it...China ?
pea brain
What’s that for. Are they going to bring migrants over on planes now 😂😂. the money used should be going in the roads. Or to the people. Not wasting it on some tarmac ffs. they are so far removed from reality it’s crazy. They also need to be removed from office. It’s a shame coz government does do some good things. But what’s happening is crazy
Scrapped hs2 now building a new runway will be scrapped again 😅
Wait, they scrapped hs2 entirely?
Save the money and spend it on dinghies.
Clueless 🤦♂️
It occurs to me that if there have been calls for a third runway for decades, then for decades heathrow has been functioning perfectly well without a third runway, proving that it is not needed. So I come to the conclusion, that this is just going to line someones pockets and those people pull the gov. strings.As is usually the case in this country.
Absolutely. They don't do anything without pocketing a large amount of taxpayers money. That's what the 'green' agenda is all about...and control.
Tax me out of my transport claiming environmental issues but let a new runway be built with no doubt special part for the private planes!!!!watch the private plane terminal percentage !!!
Please resign.
Extra runway to fly in illegal immigrants?
Rachel Revees growth plan is more runways. When was last time Britain actually build something.
The third runway is only three decades overdue
Liebour at it again 🥴 I can’t stand Reeves 🤢
20 years to build this. Meanwhile South of London (1 hour away) there is an airport with good links, both road and train - ready and waiting with minimal investment. Go figure.
Plus while that going I see no work being done on HS2 weird vote reform
Not only is pollution an issue but who are these people who keep flying multiple times a year?! And why are those on a a lower income being tortured so these idiots can afford more holidays?!
Everything has gone up and those who keep this country moving seem to be the ones to stay on a low income whilst those who are rich are getting richer! Off the backs of the backbone of this country!
Every retail worker needs to just stop working, anyone earning less than £30,000 at least, needs to stop working! Until they get to also take multiple holidays a year like these idiots who push pollution on others but are the actual reason for most the pollution in the world.
Is Steptoe he grandad, u dirty old people
I hope they remember to install an ULEZ camera beside the runway and fine every airline using it…
We have needed a new Heathrow runway or third London airport for years. Instead It is likely that this scheme will be delayed and contested for another decade. Our freedoms are so self defeating. Lucky China, where what is needed is done. Imagine Isambard Kingdom Brunel attempting to build his Great Western Railway in our times. His scheme would never have got off the ground.
Get your popcorn at the ready folks as Labour infighting is landing soon!🍿
Joke Tinpot PONCE country👉🏻🏴
Joke FINISHED union 👎🏻🇬🇧
🏴☮️🇪🇺
Fully agree
It will be only one way traffic more voters for starmer.
Does not aid the net zero that they preach about.
Mass unemployment coming,Mass hardship and finish the country off with bankrupting it,
People we need to also develop Southend air port and more importantly the air port at Dungeness -
Massive investment down south again . Disproportionate amount of investment in the south east and the rest of the country left to rot as per!
Im a dude but i cant believe dhe inspires woman
I didn’t even know that she spoke?
Tripe with the legal challenges this airport won’t be built in the next ten years, all froth, she should have said we are going to drill for more oil and gas and have cheaper energy prices.
If all goes well it is likely that it won't be finished until 2040, that's hardly a plan for growth now. Another bunch of London centric investments.
What a waste of money because it is going to cost money for someone to design it and more money to buy the houses that are in the road of the new runway and then build new houses for the people that have got to move and then get a company to demolish all of the houses and then start building the runway and then it won’t get finished because they will run out of money so it is another thing that won’t happen so why bother
Finally, the massive #Hypersonic fin adjustments at Ginger Goose Bradford. I don't think at such velocity the turn could be made. It's a major #Leeds japonica problem.
But even if this gets the go ahead it won't be here until at least 2040 and will utterly cripple the m4 and m25. stupid idea
Heathrow 3rd runway needed for UK 4% to 6% GDP growth !!! BREXIT costs UK at least negative 4% GDP per year. Therefore UK can get the growth needed just by rejoining the EU, Customs Union and Single Market. SIMPLE.
freedom of movement sucks
Ahh, so air pollution doesn’t mater now then. Are the planes subject to ULEZ. I mean they must be at least a band Z on the CO2 emissions chart.
But they put more red tape on top of red tape
Im guessing that if there are less runways then there are less scheduled cross- continent flights into London..if there are less scheduled flights, the ticket.prices are much higher......
..another runway means much cheaper tickets for all the poverty stricken hordes.
great news now finish it under 2 years.
Boost to trade eh.
Bad for climate
This is a good move tbf. We need that runway.
UK are running out of intelligent leader
Growth at any cost. Keep going Rachel 👍
There won't be any growth
....very funny
Why? Most people enter the country by boats on the south coast 🤷♂️
could be a race between heathrow and hs2 as to which gets finished first....................
