16 years ago I identified Sizewell as a site for new nuclear power. Today I am delighted that Sizewell C has finally been given the green light. We're delivering the biggest nuclear building programme in a generation 👇

On C4 News earlier - Sizewell C is a vital project for our energy security but also an economic opportunity - 10,000 jobs, 1,500 apprenticeships and supply chain investment right across the UK. This government is delivering a new golden age for nuclear power in Britain.

Exciting new venture from OVO. Repowering existing wind farms will be a key part of how we build a cheaper, cleaner, more secure energy system, creating jobs across the country and driving forward our mission to bring bills down for good.

Brilliant to visit Smulders Yard with Siemens Energy to see how offshore wind is powering Britain and investing on the Tyne. Offshore wind projects like this deliver good jobs, apprenticeships and investment in places like Newcastle and help achieve our Clean Power Mission.

The IDF has killed starving Palestinian civilians trying to get aid. Settler terrorism and talk of imposing the illegal E1 settlement plan are flagrant attempts to prevent a Palestinian state. There is no justification for this. A two-state solution is the only path to peace.

Really saddened by this news - such a kind, thoughtful man who contributed much to the University of Glasgow and to Scottish public life. I had the pleasure of serving on the University Settlement Association with him and his understated humour was perfect for every meeting.

Sir Kenneth dedicated his life to public service and gave so much to Scotland. My thoughts are with his wife, his three children and all who knew and loved him. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

16 and 17 year olds shouldn’t have the vote - it’ll rig the system! They’re too young! It’s utterly insane! 🙄 Nonsense. Young people should have a say in the future of their country and I’m glad The Labour Party is making that happen across the UK.

This is the UK Labour government doing what the SNP Scottish government should be doing but fail to do - investing in Renfrewshire’s economy. Tens of millions of pounds that will improve transport links and create quality jobs in our community. news.stv.tv/west-central/c…

The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.
