I'm kickstarting the #audiobook for my next novel, an anti-finance finance thriller about #SiliconValley scams called *Red Team Blues*. #Amazon's #Audible refuses to carry my audiobooks because they're #DRM free, but crowdfunding makes them possible:

Hi @British_Airways I paid for a Catania (Heathrow) Glasgow service yesterday.
I've just completed the Heathrow to Glasgow leg by rail, and I'm now home.
I've just completed the Heathrow to Glasgow leg by rail, and I'm now home.
Due to the severe weather #Heathrow disembark became prolonged, with the pilot explaining ground staff resource was stretched.
The connection flight to Glasgow was then delayed from 20:00 to 22:00
In the meantime I bought myself a meal at the cheaper end of available facilities at £20

Me in @spikedonline on the #heathrow decision and what it means for democracy.
A few are saying I have overstated the Court's role & not paid attention to the significant part of the judgement. I don't think so. >>

@spikedonline The judgement is here. I think it is mealy-mouthed about the role played by the court.

@spikedonline I think the observation that the Minister just has to amend details of the governments plan under the Paris "Agreement" to overcome this, while may be technically true is a bigger job than is implied.

@PlanB_earth We celebrate today’s decision by the UK court of appeal to declare the construction of the planned third runway at Heathrow Airport illegal because the UK’s climate mitigation commitments and the Paris Agreement.
This decision is a milestone in climate litigation! It gives hope to hundreds of communities around the world in their struggles against destructive airport projects: It is possible to stop them to preserve a liveable planet for us and future generations.
Heathrow airport expansion ruled illegal on climate change grounds bit.ly/2PtHuAx
The Court of Appeal ruled that the decision to build a third runway was illegal because it failed to consider the Paris climate agreement goal to hold global temperature rises to 1.5°C #Heathrow
Aviation is so bad for the climate because the condensation trails left by aeroplanes have a much greater warming effect that the carbon dioxide they release newscientist.com/article/220788…
Thread alert!!
For those interested in what the future might hold, here are some thoughts on what happens now for #Heathrow and UK aviation policy after this seismic judgement

Now government has said they won't appeal this judgement, what are the options for government?
The legal point is that the Aviation National Policy Statement should have taken into account the Paris Agreement on climate and didn't, which judge said was a misdirection in law

So govt could just re-write it (and get Commons to vote it through) with new wording on net zero referencing the legal target UK has
Would that work?
Well there would need to be some substantive policy to deliver otherwise there could be further legals

#StormErik has caused a few go arounds at #Heathrow today and the videos will undoubtedly produce some headlines that don’t actually reflect the reality for the professional crews or the measured & methodical way they make a decision to go around. Follow me on our approach >>
Most approaches start an long way from the airfield. The pilots will get the weather and assess the likely “threats”. In the case of wind they will verbalise & practice manoeuvres such as a go around as well as setting acceptable & safe parameters for the day #StormErik #Aviation
During extremes of weather it’s likely the Captain will plan to land the aircraft, to utilise their experience & exposure to these events. This increases the likelihood of landing but is never a guarantee. The team will always work to their parameters set in the brief #StormErik
#BREAKING: #Gatwick Airport in #London continues to be on lockdown as drones are reportedly still being spotted around the runways. Some flights have now been cancelled as a result while others are being diverted./@BreakingNLive
#BREAKING: #Gatwick Airport's Chief Operating Officer says a “large drone” is still operating over the airport, and the #London airport is still closed to air traffic
#BREAKING: The Government has gone to ground on #Gatwick suggesting the drone attack is serious beyond the utter chaos being suffered by passengers..No one in authority is saying anything 20 hours on-@jonsnowC4
