I suppose he thinks that Corbyn was the first bloke to get Covid too and spread it around. The ministers we have, show why the country is on it's knees.

BigAl1 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I have to agree with you it is not as if the government have acted in these 13 years to secure our energy supply, dithering about nuclear, can't make up its mind about fracking, stopping onshore wind generation and getting rid of gas storage facilities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After nearly 13 years of Tory governments over 40% of UK energy comes from renewable sources. Regarding nuclear power the Tory government has made a decision to have new nuclear power stations which something the Labour government did not do when they were in power for 13 years.

Nuclear power stations cannot be built overnight. here is a progress report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK energy minister blames Labour for soaring energy bills (msn.com) So the Energy Minister Graham Stuart blames soaring energy prices on Laboour. Is Graham Stuart, the Energy Minister at fault for receiving donations from fuel and aviation companies, or was it their fault for shoving money into his pocket when he didn't want it? It's the party of personal responsibility, putting personal responsibility into action again. Edited February 28, 2023 by Mister M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got the two largest windfarms in the world I believe. but the percentage transfer towards renewables is also due to shutting down all the coal power stations.
