It’s rich for our MP to be criticising our town council @RamsgateTown for trying to protect #Ramsgate & to be wasting time in Parliament on the strength of the only 340 signatures he mustered. Listen to the majority of your constituents @cmackinlay #NoAirport #Manston
You’re an absolute joke @cmackinlay 😂😂😂 340 people WOW! What a landslide 😂😂😂 Nice job of clearing the chamber too 😂😂😂 #Manston

Only 340 supported your petition @cmackinlay This tells you the true extent of support for an airport at #Manston Support the majority of constituents please & not a pitifully small number who refuse to listen to expert opinion & sound evidence

Despite the huge impact of Covid on our visitor economy,we still did better than the national picture. People want to visit #Thanet. They don’t want or need a 24/7 airport that will wreck our tourism & local jobs. theisleofthanetnews.com/2022… #nocargohubairport #manston

Is our local council @ThanetDC truly committed to its climate emergency declaration? Can we rely on our council to not support the development of any airport at #Manston ? As Nick Golding comments in the Local Govt Chronicle such declarations will ‘be mere weasel words’ otherwise

Can all councillors please let residents know that they are really committed to urgent& significant action on climate? Everyone needs to understand that a declaration of a climate emergency means nothing if @ThanetDC is supportive of a new airport. @LabourThanet ? @ThanetGreens ?
The DfT will contest the JR & RSP have submitted their grounds to resist it also. Jenny Dawes legal team are reviewing. A single judge has to decide whether there are grounds for a JR. Support the fight against an unnecessary 24/7 cargo hub airport. crowdjustice.com/case/suppor…
RSP predict an average 79 Air Traffic Movements (flights to you & me)a day with average of 7 ATMs at night. Think what that would mean to your life,leisure,health, business. #Ramsgate #HerneBay #Sandwich #EastKent. #StopManstonAirport Of course, it has no CAA permission currently
"Airport expansion has no place in a climate emergency. While the benefits might be felt by a few, we will all, ultimately, pay the price." #stopmanston #nocargohubairport #manston #climateemergency independent.co.uk/travel/new…
There are 3 ways to net zero: invent new electric aircraft, change fuel of existing aircraft or take emissions out of atmosphere. But none will take us to #NetZero by 2050. The only way is less flying. ft.com/content/e00819ba-4814…

Legal action already underway targeting govt's fantasy #JetZero strategy & all analysis shows aviation industry off course to meet any Paris Agreement goals. So,makes sense to OK a new airport, right? No! Support our own local legal challenge in East Kent tinyurl.com/ycxdw8r8
Govt's reckless approach to decision-making that ignores their duties under the #ClimateChangeAct is increasingly under scrutiny & challenge. @galba_action & Jenny Dawes among those seeking judicial review #noplacetohide #manston justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…
Let's not forget the govt's #jetzero strategy.It relies on new fuels & tech that don't even exist yet. The strategy flew in the face of govt's own experts (sounding familiar?)Luckily, @galba_action is launching a #JR process (sounding familiar?)challenging it #manston
#NNF commissioned a noise contours report from the CAA(who are the experts) -it revealed a far worse case that RSP projects whilst still not providing the absolute worst case scenario. CAA contours reveal much greater numbers of people at real risk. #noise #manston #stopmanston
RSP's noise contours mask the fact that their proposal represents real harm for 10s thousands of people.They underestimate pop numbers, ignore the fact it's a vulnerable pop & is one not currently exposed to noise from aviation. #stopmanston #noise #aviationnoise #health
NNF has complained long & hard about #nightflights with constant smears of 'lies' from the other side. We understand that RSP have been less than transparent but their application to the #CAA makes the position very clear. To all. @TheNanStevens included #manston #nonightflights
ALT We don't need or want night flights - they said
ALT An average of 7 ATMs per night
Don't forget, this proposed airport doesn't have the support of any independent assessor or expert. The SoS for Transport's OWN independent assessor said there was no need for it. Which makes his latest decision all the more incomprehensible. #stopmanston #nocargohubairport
The application for a second judicial review by Jenny Dawes has been made. Solicitors & barristers need to take this forward so all contributions to the fund are vital. Our community, our fight. #manston #nocargohubairport crowdjustice.com/case/suppor…
Application for permission for judicial review - local #Ramsgate resident Jenny Dawes takes on the might of government again - challenging crazy decision to approve proposal for 24/7 cargo hub airport. Support if you can. #ClimateEmergency #manston crowdjustice.com/case/suppor…

History of Manston shows their most successful years were 2004/5 with 21 holiday destinations
All financed by Mezzanine money lenders at rates of 28%
Hardly surprising they went tits up in July 2005 under Fraudmann's management
High street lenders not available to speculation
