I seem to remember Theresa May threatening this in the 2017 election (along with the "dementia tax"). She called the election fully expecting to romp home against Jeremy Corbyn's commissars, but a hung parliament was the result instead.

As for 40 flights arriving at Heathrow today, WOW, they usually have that amount in less than ...
@Carer .....airplanes......are u sure!!!!!!!!!!!!, because there are plenty in the sky and at least 40 coming into Heathrow today.
