Conservative shadow Chancellor, Mel Stride’s plan isn’t just cruel – it’s politically stupid. Slash £47 billion in another promised round of austerity and you hand votes straight to Reform UK.

Tory Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride wants to take £47 billion out of the UK economy. That isn't prudence. It's managed decline

You do know PV work when it's cloudy and realistically how many times have you been out to sea and the wind hasn't been blowing?

But thanks to some clever engineers other sources are switched on when on the few occurrences in one of the windiest countries in Europe there is no wind.

Britain ran entirely on clean energy for 87 hours this year – a fiftyfold rise since 2021. Proof that progress is real, even if there’s a long road to 2030’s clean-power target.
