[@Willywin]

Well, I would love to know what ideas and policies and solutions the Labour Party are offering. Its a sad state of affairs when most opposition to the Government in Parliament comes from the Governments own back benches. All I hear from Labour is them either agreeing with the conservatives or complaining about the Conservatives without saying 'what they would do' and so failing to give the electorate a chance to compare. But then offering no answers for three and a half years and eventually making empty promises for the last six months of the electoral cycle worked for Biden, perhaps that is the Labour Party plan - say nothing and then you cant be pulled apart? Thing is once in power they would be held accountable for what would inevitably go wrong - and no amount of trying to blame their predecessors would carry much weight.

What is this as an overall percentage of job growth in the same period? - What proportion of revenue did these companies pay in tax and how much tax revenue did they generate for the UK? - What is the Gini coefficient for these Unicorns? Do they truly represent positive outcomes for the British public or are they another example of wealth redistribution to the rich at the expense of the poor?

Just for the record the new nuclear plant under construction was put in place by the last Labour government along with 2 more that the Tories have effectively cancelled. The Tories also cancelled the financial support for renewables, these policies have left us over dependent on fossil fuels and at the mercy of fossil fuel companies. Under the cuts we have seen the loss of thermal insulation projects to reduce consumption, the loss of roll outs of personal solar energy panels on houses to reduce their reliance on energy companies and the loss of expansion of commercial renewable generation projects such as wind, solar and hydro production. By scrapping these and forcing all private and commercial energy consumers to be tied to fossil fuel production on behalf of Tory donors it is THIS GOVERNMENT that is DIRECTLY responsible for the misery faced by households and the upcoming devastation to all industries in the UK and all public organisations too, councils will be forced to cut services yet again to pay for Tory corruption and further again through the loss of business rates and council tax receipts due to a loss of employment going forward.

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

Tony Blair signed off 3 new power stations but the nimbys and green lobby put in legal objections and when the Tories regained power they got scrapped.

[@darthwiizius]

@@Nickbaldeagle02 The one on the south coast is still going ahead because it was paid for by the Blair government and the French state energy company(yes UK electricity is nationalised just not by the British nation) but the Tories cancelled the other 2 even though the first one was being supplied free by China who wanted to build it as a marketing programme to demonstrate that they were capable of building a nuclear plant to the highest gold safety standards in the World. The Tories cancelled it officially as part of Trumpenstein's orange monster's attacks on China but in reality they cancelled it because they take millions in -back handers- donations from the fossil fuel industry.

[@darthwiizius]
