Today's Evening Standard :- "We'll back Zac if he quits and stands as an independant, say local Tories" Thersa May faced a sensational revolt today as local Tories backed Zac Goldsmith to stand as an independant anti-Heathrow candidate in a by-election. In a bombshell development, the Tory group at Richmond Park held a private meeting last night where Mr Goldsmith confirmed that he will run as an independant if the government backs a new runway at Heathrow. In a secret ballot, the group voted overwhelmingly to support Mr Goldsmith rather than an official Conservative candidate. Extraordinarily, Twickenham MP Tania Mathias took part and also vowed to support Mr Goldsmith- even though it is strictly against the party's rules to back anyone standing against an official candidate. "They see it as a referendum via the ballot box on Heathrow," said an insider. The drama emerged on the day that the Prime Minister allowed Cabinet ministers to discuss the vexed airport issue for the first time. However critics of Heathrow expansion, such as Boris Johnson and Justine Greening, were allowed to comment and not to vote........... Greenpeace has formed an alliance with 4 local councils to prepare a legal challenge against Heathrow expansion. Greenpeace UK executive director John Sauven said "A third runway at Heathrow would be an air pollution and carbon time bond." .
