YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSadiq Khan has vowed to block the third Heathrow runway "with any tool in the toolkit" in a rift with the government after Rachel Reeves said she would back plans.
Andrew Marr hears from the London Mayor (01:31), The Chancellor (00:00) and industry expert Willie Walsh (04:52).
Sadiq Khan told LBC's Tonight with Andrew Marr that expanding London's biggest airport would cause more air pollution and noise issues for locals, and would put the UK's climate commitments in doubt.
Heathrow bosses have been trying to build a third runway for nearly 20 years amid concerns over constrained capacity at the airport, one of the world's busiest.
Advocates say that expanding capacity will enable Britain to grow faster by attracting more visitors and investment - and believe that the failure to build a third runway is symptomatic of the UK's aversion to creating the necessary infrastructure for growth.
Reeves, the Chancellor, said on Wednesday she would support expanding the airport as she seeks to grow the economy. But some in Labour remain opposed, largely for environmental reasons.
Khan insisted that he went along with all of Labour's plans to boost the economy by building more - other than the extra runway.
