TOON TUESDAY #43

The government's decision to run with long-standing proposals for Heathrow expansion appear to fly (no pun intended) in the face of net zero policies it otherwise promotes with relentless zealotry.  What is their game?  Can it really be an action designed to drive the economic growth that Rachel from Accounts claims?  Is it meant as a distraction from the frequent scandals?  Is it a folly that will never come to fruition (but one which will line the pockets of ministers)?  Has Starmer tired of his puppet status and picked a fight with his masters, giving himself an easy out?  Does he secretly hate Ed Miliband?

Whatever the motivation, it will come as no surprise to find that London-centric cartoonists continue to be fascinated by the conundrum...
