Thames Estuary airport - "United against this mad idea"

The BBC covers the news that the Conservative party has rejected Boris Johnson's plan to build a new airport in the Thames Estuary.

The story quotes Caroline Pidgeon's comment that Boris's only success has been to "unite councils in Kent and Essex, environmental groups, and now, we hear, all three main political parties in Parliament, against this mad idea".
