  1. Did he get up off the sun lounger or did they just move his hand on the paper while he was passed out drunk?

  2. Once it’s built, we’ll “sell” it to a French Multinational who will jack up the unit cost while scaling back production to keep prices high.

  3. Amazing he can’t ‘make major policy decisions to help out the most vulnerable but if you give hin a big enough bung, he will bend over for big business.

  4. As someone who knows the area very well, nobody local wants it and itll destroy a lot of local tourism for years to come…but its not like the tories have ever thought about anyones needs but their own.

  5. Hey. Just a friendly reminder that nuclear energy is the way forwards wether the Tories or labour implement it. Thank you.

  6. This being the nuclear power plant the environment agency advised against building because there’s insufficient fresh water available during construction of operation. Super.

  7. It should always be cheaper in the long run for government to either borrow the money or collect it from taxation than it will be from any sort of PFI system in the same way as buying a telly is cheaper than getting one on HP, part of the reason taxes are so high now is because we’re having to pay for all the schools and hospitals that Gordon Brown didn’t pay for.

  8. Finally! Now what about the other fifteen of them that we needed to start building 10 years ago?

    Also, any chance he’ll keep his promise to look at removing the ‘sin taxes’ before he rides off into the sunset?

  9. I’m not a massive fan of Boris to say the least, but in case you hadn’t noticed, we have a massive energy crisis on its way. If they had all pulled their fingers out, and got on with this, we would be in a much better position now.

  10. Its a start…but just a start. Pro or anti nuclear, it doesn’t matter. In the space of around 5 years the UK will have went from 8 operating nuclear power stations to potentially 1. We need to replace those big generation sites. We need more renewable as well, but we also need the big base load generation. We need to get the fimger out now and announce more.
