Griffith: 'I regret we weren't bolder' on Heathrow expansion

The shadow business secretary has expressed his regret at not being 'bolder' in negotiations surrounding Heathrow expansions and the related judicial and environmental regulations.

Andrew Griffith also said that he is awaiting 'actions not words' to 'get us out of this hole', referring to the 'economic mess' which he believes the government's budget caused.

Griffith described the country's economic metrics as in the 'flashing red' after claiming that they were initially going in the 'right direction' under the previous Conservative Government.

The Tory MP also criticised efforts to define what counts as 'extremism' which he claimed 'deflects police resources'.
