Guilt-ridden lefties want to keep Britain grounded on tarmac

'Politics in far-flung nations is weaponised thanks to migration'

- Tim Newark

CARING about events overseas at the expense of their own country has long been a hallmark of left-wing MPs.

Hence their support for net zero policies that punish UK citizens to save the rest of the planet. But such political perversity has reached a new low among politicians of the left.

Zarah Sultana, Coventry South's MP, has loudly objected to Labour's U-turn on building a third runway at Heathrow - citing the "climate emergency". To construct the much-needed extra runway would be "reckless, short-sighted and indefensible", she warned and the planet would suffer.

Now, however, she is using her position as an MP to push for a brand new airport 5,000 miles away in Mirpur in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. Apparently it's fine to build airports, just as long as they're in Pakistan, not the UK.

Labour's Rosena Allin-Khan also backs the Mirpur project, despite slamming the Heathrow third runway plan for "severe disruption and pollution".
