HAS HE BEEN SACKED??????

He's not thinking fourth dimensionally. Get him gone.

That’s why I just posted! Might as well.

What do you mean BACK into?!?!

An absolute let off that we didn’t deserve. Well ****ing squander it anyway.

Just a ****ing embarrassment of a tackle

@Phil Mitchell your Billy just got a mention!

Brookside is back!

See below: We also had more than enough capacity because we had about 16 nuclear sites/31 operational reactors in 1997 serving a much smaller population than we do now - the population only grew by about 3 million between 1997 and 2007. A few of those reactors were reaching their end of life in the early 2000s which is why Blair changed their strategy in the mid 2000s and planned to build 8-10 more to have them operational by the late 2010s. In the 15 years since Brown was voted out, the Tories failed to get a single one of the 10 identified sites built, while at the same time allowing the population to grow by 7 million (thanks for their uncontrolled immigration especially since Brexit) making demand far higher with a diminishing capacity and a reliance on imports and global volatility, while also failing to build enough renewable sites (onshore wind and solar) and allowing the cost of energy to skyrocket to the highest in Europe. No but I would argue the bacon sandwich does.

14 years after it was first identified, which is my entire point. The 2008 article from my previous post literally says they were planning to have it up and running way before 2020. 14 years of Tory rule later and it's only just starting to be built , and energy is the highest in Europe (because of Tory privatisation and Brexit). Yet again, it was a decade and a half of dither, delay, missed opportunity, destruction, corruption. All of which has cost us extremely dearly and will be costing us for decades.

They must have had some concrete evidence.

Imagine being too racist for TalkTV

They were focussing on renewables at the time and stated there wasn't the economic case for it. Blair changed his mind towards the end of his term and the plans for new sites accelerated under Brown. See my reply to Kenny a few posts above.

It's become the de facto politics thread for everyone banned from the politics thread.

The Labour government commissioned 8 new nuclear projects in 2008: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7179579.stm Business Secretary John Hutton told MPs they would give a "safe and affordable" way of securing the UK's future energy supplies while fighting climate change. He said any plants would be built at or near existing reactors by private firms and said he hoped the first one would be completed "well before 2020". Energy Secretary Ed Miliband gave the go ahead for 10 new nuclear sites in 2009, including Sizewell C: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8349715.stm EDF put forward proposals in 2012: https://web.archive.org/web/20200711014954/https://edf.thirdlight.com/pf.tlx/mi4muzRmu0s1b7 The Tories achieved absolutely nothing in 14 years. Except for making literally everything worse.

Ironically, this is the exact episode in which Reynholm gets into a fist fight with a trans woman.

Daka can't play football but still gets paid for it. That's a success in some people's book!

The first two line are true. The third one is perhaps an oversimplification on my part. "Achieved absolutely ****ing nothing" would probably be better.

Ed Miliband recently greenlit Sizewell C. It was first identified by.... Ed Miliband. In 2009. The Tories did **** all.
