SDC aviation report becomes a thorn in the side of DfT

Yesterday I posted about a major new report by the SDC and IPPR. The report was not new in contesting government claims or calling for something other than a headlong rush towards aviation expansion; such reports have come and gone.

The new thing is the involvement of the governments own environmental watchdog that it setup to resolve disputed environmental issues and the Labour parties 'favourite thinktank' the IPPR who have had such high profile figures such as David Milliband pass through their offices.

These points haven't been missed by the BBC, Telegraph, Times, Independent or Guardian...so that's complete broadsheet coverage and the UK's main news source the BBC.

The pressure continues to build and Labour continue to look more and more obstinate and unconcerned at professional or public criticism.
