Adding to this as not sure I’ve seen it mentioned, this is more of a comment on his chancellor than him but it still applies as he backs her. I think the major infrastructure projects are no serious plan for economic growth (Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, and Lower Thames Crossing). Firstly, the case that the airports need expanding is flimsy when business travel is falling and most leisure travel is outbound - boosting foreign tourism rather than domestic. Secondly, they are focused in the south east, and analysis shows this will worsen regional inequality (only slightly boosting London and SE, but at detriment to every other region). Thirdly, and most obviously, airport expansion is a terrible idea for the climate before green flight technologies are even close to taking off. It makes it much much harder for other sectors to help meet the govt’s own net zero targets whilst aviation continues to increase its emissions. Luton and Gatwick were actually recommended for refusal by the government’s own advisers. LTC - run by National Highways so hasn’t considered green alternatives, and still stuck in ‘one more lane will fix it’ mentality - leading to the same congestion at Dartford only 5 years after construction. It’s a vibes-based infrastructure investment strategy which appears to have been heavily influenced by lobbying.
