Every single one of those problems (with the exception of Ukraine) has been caused by a deliberate policy or lack of action by the Tories.

Climate Emergency?
Yep .... Gordon Brown signed off the expenditure to build new Nuclear Power plants at the end of his tenure, Tories chose to ignore it and continue with the fossil fuelled power plants which meant we imported coal from Poland and Australia!

Got to be balanced and objective (which is a rarity on here I admit!) or at least try, but Labour were in power for 13 years before the Tories and not a start or a single spade in the ground on any nuclear power stations either during that time. The problems go back to the 1970's with building nuclear plants. But we have to remember that then 'nuclear' was a dirty word and not a byword for green, clean energy that it is now. Both as bad as each other I would say.Yep ....

And an effective ban on land-based wind farms. And allowing new coal mines...Yep ....

The planning, design and surveying activities that need to happen before a spade gets put in the ground to build a new nuclear power station is at least 10 years so if the previous Tory government between 1979 and 1997 had nothing new in the pipeline it was highly unlikely that Labour would get one built and in service during its previous tenure. It did however have plans in place that the current government ignored. The existing nuclear capacity was built in the 1980s but that was based on planning from the 1960s and 1970s.Got to be balanced and objective (which is a rarity on here I admit!) or at least try, but Labour were in power for 13 years before the Tories and not a start or a single spade in the ground on any nuclear power stations either during that time.

OK. It's all the Tories fault. 100%. No further discussion required.The planning, design and surveying activities that need to happen before a spade gets put in the ground to build a new nuclear power station is at least 10 years so if the previous Tory government between 1979 and 1997 had nothing new in the pipeline it was highly unlikely that Labour would get one built and in service during its previous tenure.
