Was that David Laws standing behind him?

On Heathrow Clegg, Cameron and Johnson all look stressed. This political football will be kicked around for quite some time. Philip Hammond's silence is eloquent and make him in my judgement a good each way bet for the next Conservative leader.

Reply to Commonsensetory. Hammond is my MP and I`ve met him, in fact he has been to our house. One time anti EU, changed his mind when appointed to the Tory front bench. Now agrees with Cameron-of course. Failure as a minister with his disastrous cuts in our military. Good constituency MP though, supported the residents in the campaign against the third runway and earned praise for it. Will he support us again, or will he change sides, as he did about the EU?
A good constituency MP, that`s all.

At the next election the Liberal MPS in South West London (Davey, Cable, Brake and Burstow) will be campaigning against a new runway at Heathrow and Cameron's Tories will be painted as supporting it. The same will apply in Richmond.
That will make 5 parliamentary seats that the Tories won in 1992 last time they had a majority that the Liberals will probably win.
This policy will make winning a majority harder.
