Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has stated he will not resign if ministers support the construction of a third runway at Heathrow Airport, calling such an idea “ridiculous.” Miliband, a long-time opponent of Heathrow’s expansion, emphasizes that any development must align with the UK’s carbon budgets, which aim for a 100% reduction in emissions by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. He acknowledges that an additional runway does not conflict with the government’s net-zero policies. Other ministers have also expressed environmental concerns regarding the airport’s expansion.
