Britain wants energy independence.

Those who oppose this Government’s path to energy security are standing in the way of that independence.

They’re standing against lower bills, high-quality British jobs and an end to vulnerable imported energy.

Britain's energy security depends on the expansion of home-grown clean energy — cutting bills, creating jobs, and protecting us from global shocks like Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Those standing in the way of a clean energy future are undermining the security of this country.

Maghull Health Park has @lcrmayor.bsky.social backing to develop plans for a National Mental Health Research & Diagnostics Centre.

Mental illness costs the country £300bn a year—and untold misery for millions.

Today, I had a very encouraging response from the Chancellor on government support.

Today, I welcomed swift govt action to support the UK car industry in response to US tariffs – crucial for constituents working at JLR Halewood.

Many EV drivers benefit from cheap electricity; many more should and will if govt cuts electricity prices.

The implementation of US tariffs highlights the need for government support for strategically important industries, including steel.

I asked the Secretary of State if he shared my view that retaining sovereign steel-making capacity is vital in an uncertain world.

The Heathrow power outage has highlighted gaps in resilience and a lack of back up in the power system. The short comings at Heathrow show the government’s plan to expand of the electricity network as part of its Clean Power Mission is more important than ever.
My question today.

The Conservatives have abandoned evidence-informed policymaking.

Evidence to the Select Committee shows reducing reliance on fossil fuels will lower bills.

I asked the Minister if he would cut household bills now by rebalancing the levies, which are part of how we pay for infrastructure.

Opposition parties don’t want Labour’s support for lower NHS waiting times, road repairs and sound public finances.

The Minister agreed with me...

It clearly helps businesses and everyone else, that Labour prioritises improving public services, sound finances and growth.

National security, economic security, and energy security go hand in hand.

As we boost UK independence through the Clean Energy Plan, I asked the Prime Minister to support Ukraine in strengthening its own energy security against Russian aggression.
