The article highlights The Independent's commitment to quality journalism, covering crucial issues such as reproductive rights and climate change, while emphasizing the importance of on-the-ground reporting. In a specific political context, Rachel Reeves expressed her confidence in proceeding with the Heathrow expansion plan despite the London Mayor Sadiq Khan's opposition. Reeves believes that any legal challenges posed by Khan would ultimately fail, asserting that the government must prioritize national interests in decision-making regarding infrastructure projects.
Ms Reeves' defiant comments came after Mr Khan effectively put himself at the head of a campaign to stop the Heathrow expansion project.
Asked if Mr Khan could block the Heathrow scheme, she said: No. There can be judicial reviews but we are confident that this airport expansion will happen.
