[CAN&I]

Bristol Airport has been denied permission to appeal the Competition Appeal Tribunal's ruling on its complaint against the Welsh Government:

The matter's not over yet. BRS have until 12th June to seek permission to appeal directly to the Court of Appeal.

The usual garbage and re-heated clickbait from WO.
Not sure Adam Price specifically stated in any of his interviews so far that he (or the new Welsh Government) is committed to "spending £200million" over the next ten years. We’ve seen plenty of copy from news sources on the day he spoke on the subject from almost all the news sources involved.
Adam Price has stated he is committed to making the airport a success, exploiting latent potential and increasing its contribution to the Welsh economy. Nowhere has the money specifically been mentioned.
This is particularly irksome given there has been zero coverage from WO (or anyone else) of either Bristol Airport losing its CAT appeal OR the fact that Cardiff Airport was the second-fastest growing UK airport in Q1.
There’s not so many clicks and web traffic involved when it comes to good news about Cardiff Airport it seems, which is why more of the usual sh*t-stirring seems to be the order of the day.
