The UK government will announce changes to planning rules to allow for the construction of more nuclear power plants.

At present, construction of nuclear power plants is restricted to eight sites in the UK.

Mr Starmer has said that these changes will put Britain back in the race for nuclear energy.

“This country hasn’t built a nuclear power station in decades. We’ve been let down, and left behind. Our energy security has been hostage to Putin for too long, with British prices skyrocketing at his whims.”
