Almost immediately after spouting fine words in Glasgow, prime minister Johnson supported his chancellor in reducing the tax on internal air routes. He followed this up with shamelessly promoting the M4 by-pass scheme which would encourage motoring and take acres of the carbon-absorbing Gwent Levels out of use.
Now we learn that he is pumping £4.3m into flights from Cornwall airport to Gatwick (handy for his new MPs in south-west England) and from Gatwick to Dundee, which will clearly undercut Scotrail's recent improvements there.
