Comment on government’s nuclear roadmap

Our area has a proud history of leading the world on nuclear power. We need government approval for a new nuclear plant in West Cumbria so that we can unlock new advanced manufacturing and industrial jobs.  That’s why I’ve been leading the New Nuclear Now campaign.

The Tories are continuing to drag their feet on new nuclear. Their ‘road map’ is just warm words, further consultations and reheated announcements.

Fourteen years and not one new nuclear site has opened, despite inheriting 10 approved sites from the last Labour government. Labour supports new nuclear and if you elect me as your Labour MP, I’ll be an unwavering champion for our area’s nuclear future.
