Heathrow Third Runway: £33bn M25 Tunnel Plan Puts Ancient Village of Harmondsworth at Risk

Heathrow Third Runway: £33bn M25 Tunnel Plan Puts Ancient Village of Harmondsworth at Risk

The UK government has thrown its weight behind Heathrow’s long‑debated third runway, choosing a £33 billion north‑west runway and M25 tunnel scheme that could wipe out much of the ancient village of Harmondsworth and neighbouring Longford. The decision, announced this week, sets up a new decade‑long struggle over climate targets, costs, and the fate of one of England’s most historic communities.

Telus Dividend Under Fire: Why Brookfield Infrastructure Looks Like the Safer Income Giant on November 28, 2025

As of November 28, 2025, Telus Corporation’s dividend is back in the spotlight — and not in a comfortable way. The Canadian telecom (TSX:T, NYSE:TU) is offering one of the richest payouts on the TSX, with a yield around 9–13% depending on the listing and metric you use.MarketBeat+1 But a wave of fresh commentary and data this week has turned that eye‑popping yield into a warning sign rather than a simple bargain. A new Globe and Mail opinion column says Telus needs to “kick its addiction to dividend hikes,” arguing that a roughly 9% yield reflects financial strain, not strength.iask.ca+1
