Jo Johnson has fired a warning shot at Biggin Hill airport, revealing he is "strongly opposed" to its expansion.  Writing for this newspaper, Mr Johnson said he was watching the airport's proposals to protect the quality of life of residents who live under the flight path.

The MP said it had been a "privilege" to speak up for local residents in Parliament, where he has "held Government to account on critical issues such as the performance of South Eastern trains and the future of our heavily indebted local hospitals".

Mr Johnson said he was concerned Biggin Hill residents have been "shortchanged" by poor service on the 320 bus route, which he said had been "a disgrace in recent weeks", and has urged Transport for London to "get a grip fast".
