Net zero for Brits, airports for Pakistan – Brendan O'Neill on Labour's green hypocrisy

Labour MPs have sparked controversy by lobbying for a new international airport in Mirpur, Pakistan-administered Kashmir—despite many of them opposing Heathrow expansion on environmental grounds. The row has drawn attention to what critics are calling blatant hypocrisy, with figures like Zarah Sultana backing infrastructure abroad while resisting it at home. In this episode, John Connolly speaks to Brendan O'Neill about the politics behind the Mirpur airport campaign, the influence of the pro-Pakistan lobby in Westminster, and what this says about the priorities of Britain’s political class. 00:00 – Introduction 00:39 – UK politicians lobby for an airport in Pakistan 02:02 – Green hypocrisy 04:27 – Birmingham 07:55 – Can we fix sectarian politics in Britain? #ZarahSultana #LabourParty #UKPolitics #HeathrowExpansion // SUBSCRIBE TO THE SPECTATOR Get 12 issues for £12, plus a free £20 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher https://www.spectator.co.uk/tvoffer // FREE PODCASTS FROM THE SPECTATOR Hear more from The Spectator's journalists on their podcasts, covering everything from the politics of the UK, US and China, to religion, literature, lifestyle and more. https://www.spectator.co.uk/podcasts/ // FOLLOW US   / spectator     / officialspectator     / the-spectator     / spectator1828     / thespectatormagazine
