Here's an article from Doncaster Chamber with comments from the CEO. Dan Fell The Airport gets a good mention and is identified as a major project that the new government could engage with and offer support with identifying new carriers protecting the airspace and support for the gateway east development @MyDoncaster @MayorRos @DNChamber @dan_fell @LouHaigh @transportgovuk @TransportCttee @10DowningStreet @Keir_Starmer @SouthYorksMCA @olivercoppard doncaster-chamber.co.uk/2024…

My new MP. Delighted that @LeePitcher9 will be representing #DoncasterEastandAxholme in Parliament. A good man with a good heart at the beginning of a journey with us of hope and change for our country. Bravo Lee! 👏
Lee Pitcher is the newly elected @UKLabour MP for Doncaster East & Isle of Axholme. He’s been reflecting on his victory with our Senior Reporter @ChrisDavisSmith:

Hope @everyone is having a great weekend Can I ask if we can share and sign the petition We have well over 25,000 participants on the group There has been over 8,000 signatures so far which is pretty good in the short time that the petition has been live. The original petition to save DSA managed over 108,000 signatures over a 2 year period So we have some way to go yet We need to influence the @UK_CAA and @transportgovuk To reinstate our airspace in a timely manner when it's needed to enable a seamless reopening with no changes or restrictions There is no Secretary of State for transport innplace at the moment due to the elections that are ongoing. When the elections are closed and someone is put in place as Secretary of State for Transport We need a show of support from our group to influence whoever gets the job. The airspace isn't needed yet as the operator hasn't been chosen I do know some work is underway at DSA to prepare for the appointed Operator The Aviation Consultants have assessed the airport with a suggestion that DSA is in better condition than 50% of the airports currently operating in the UK. City of Doncaster Council have the business plans from the 2 operator applicants. And with help from the consultants employed are going through the selection process. So lots ongoing getting everything in place for the suggested timeline announced last week by CDC. Just the Airspace decision needed to ensure we can get a timely reopening. Please sign and share the petition here change.org/Save_D_S_A_airspa… Thanks everyone lets share away and encourage our contacts to get involved The work we've undertaken over the last 23 months with the group has made a difference we can help change things we are not happy with look where we are now with DSA so close to the result we all want facebook.com/share/p/sKaCxLr…

Rishi Sunak lied to the British public. He was found out. The Tories refuse to apologise. It’s unacceptable and it demeans our politics.

How much has tax gone up under the Conservatives over the last parliamentary term, per household? "It's difficult to calculate..." - @BimAfolami 'I can tell you... taxes have gone up £13,000 per household since 2019', says @SophyRidgeSky. #PoliticsHub trib.al/ftpea6d

STOP LYING.
I've posted this before, & I'll keep posting it. The SHAMELESS normalisation of telling barefaced easily disprovable LIES is destroying our country & our democracy. It's not an occasional glitch in our politics, business & media - it's inherent in underregulated #capitalism 🇬🇧

When people don't have to fight the government to fund cures for brutal illnesses, when people don't have to flog themselves into the ground for charity, as Kevin Sinfield has - that's when we can say we're a civilised society. RIP Rob Burrow - and love to his family and friends

The Tories’ desperate tactics have been exposed for what they are and for all to see. They’ve failed once again. I am grateful to all those who have stood by and supported me. My focus now is on securing the change Britain needs, with the election of a Labour government. 🌹
